Pei Ge choked. She thought that if she had discovered Ji Miao’s suicidal tendencies earlier, she might not have received Ji Miao’s letter here and would not have felt guilty.
As long as Ji Miao was willing, Pei Ge could send Ji Miao back to her younger sister. However, before she could say anything, Ji Miao had already committed suicide and left this world.
“Don’t worry. Maybe it’s best if she leaves.”
Ji Ziming looked at the email He Yun sent over. The number of people who were close to Ji Miao could be counted on one hand, not to mention who Ji Miao had spoken to. Ji Ziming shifted his gaze to the name of this man he had never seen before: Tian Yibo.
“What do you mean by that?”
Pei Ge, who was sitting on the sofa, was a little confused as she looked at Ji Ziming’s eyes which were reflecting the light from his phone. The light from his eyes was also mixed with rumors.
“I have a new clue. I think I can definitely find the mastermind behind Ji Miao.”
Ji Ziming circled Tian Yibo’s name and sent it to He Yun. When He Yun received the news, he proceeded with the investigation on Tian Yibo.
Ji Ziming put down his phone and walked over to Pei Ge. He lowered his head and looked at her with a doting and worried gaze. “I’ve already gotten someone to send Ji Miao’s sister to the hospital. The doctor I found is also an expert. Don’t you believe me?”
“I believe you, but my heart aches even more for Ji Miao. If possible, I would rather not go to City H with you to capture her.”
Pei Ge’s voice was filled with sorrow. She wanted to know how Ji Miao’s younger sister had lived all these years alone without Ji Miao’s care. However, it seemed that what she wanted to know was no longer important.
“Since she did something wrong, she naturally had to bear the consequences for herself. Commiting suicide was also her choice. No one forced her or threatened her. All of this has nothing to do with you or me.”
Ji Ziming analyzed the situation accurately and sharply. He did not want Pei Ge to live in guilt because of Ji Miao. In his world, no one had ever made a mistake without being punished.
Except for Pei Ge.
Because he loved her, he would rather get hurt himself than let her get hurt at all.
“Ziming, get someone to handle Ji Miao’s funeral. Don’t let her sister know about it for now.”
She reminded him softly. He nodded, his eyes full of heartache.
“Do you want to rest?”
Ji Ziming knew Pei Ge’s kindness and her stubbornness. Ji Miao’s accident must have given Pei Ge a huge blow. He did not wish for this matter to hurt Pei Ge’s relationship with him but he did not wish for all the clues to end with Ji Miao’s death.
“I don’t need it. There are still so many things to do at the company. Let’s deal with them first. These sad things will eventually pass.”
Pei Ge understood that Ji Miao had already passed away. She could not ask her to stay, nor could she make her stay.
Although it was easy for the deceased, those who were still alive still had to continue living and obtain the truth for those who had wrongly passed away. Pei Ge’s goal for herself was to let the mastermind resurface. No one could stop her from doing what she wanted to do, not to mention that Ji Ziming was by her side now.
At this time, in the Qu family villa, in Old lady Qu’s greenhouse, Tian Yibo was standing in front of Old lady Qu and reporting about Ji Miao’s suicide.
“Old Madam, Ji Miao, Ji Miao committed suicide in prison.”
Tian Yibo was not the close aide’s real name. Because of plastic surgery, the close aide’s face had become a common face. A few months ago, he had accidentally picked up the identity card of the man called Tian Yibo and used his name to visit or even talk to Ji Miao.
Snap.
Old lady Qu was cutting off the rotten leaves of the spider plant. The moment the close aide said that, Old lady Qu’s hand trembled slightly and accidentally cut off the sturdiest leaves on the spider plant. The spider plant in the spatter appeared to be slightly aggrieved.
“Say that again!”
She had yet to obtain the remaining confidential data of Pei Ge’s company. How could Ji Miao die? She had yet to allow her to die.
“Madam, Ji Miao committed suicide in prison. Her body is currently in the morgue of Ji Ziming’s hospital.”
The close aide repeated.
He did not believe that Old lady Qu was surprised when she heard about Ji Miao’s death. Old lady Qu, who only cared about benefits, probably only thought about the remaining confidential documents.
Indeed.
“When you went to see her, did she tell you where the confidential documents are?”
Old lady Qu’s eyes were cold and her voice sounded as though it came from above.
“No. No matter how I asked her, she refused to tell me.”
Snap.
This time, she did not cut off a single leaf, but three or four. With a swipe of the scissors, she cut off most of the leaves on the left side of the spider plant. The spider plant in the flower pot was not aggrieved this time, but only the right side was left intact.
“Useless piece of sh*t!”
Old lady Qu’s voice was vicious and her black eyes were as scary as a ghost in the night.
“Do you think it’s already in Pei Ge’s hands?”
Old lady Qu made a hypothesis and looked sharply at the close aide’s expression. The informant in the prison told her that when the aide went to look for Ji Miao, he accidentally said Old lady Qu’s name. Now, she could not forgive him.
“I don’t know about this. I haven’t seen her interact with Pei Ge during the time I’ve been with Ji Miao.”
The close aide wanted to protect Ji Miao.
When he went to the train station in City H, he saw Ji Miao saying something in Pei Ge’s ear. However, because he was standing too far away, he could not hear her clearly. Instead, the shock on Pei Ge’s face gave him a new understanding.
“Really? Or you don’t know at all?”
Old lady Qu’s words were sharp. From the information she received, she knew that the close aide in front of her had feelings for Ji Miao that he should not have. Even this leak might be intentional.
“Madam, are you suspecting me? I really didn’t!”
The close aide knelt down with a thud. He thought that if even Old lady Qu started to distrust him, his ending would not be any better than Ji Miao’s. Moreover, he was in Old lady Qu’s private territory.
