"That's good then. If you have any questions, you can ask me."

"Thank you, Joe's Assistant. However," Jian Wei's tone became lighter, "Today, I called you over because I have something to ask you. I hope you can tell me the truth, okay?"

Qiao Li's voice was a little unnatural, "That's for sure. As long as I know, I won't hide it."

"First question, last night, was Radix Sorbiae drunk because of the social meetup?" Jian Wei asked carefully.

"That's right. I drank so much with a few very important customers because I had no other choice."

Jian Wei nodded her head, "The second question is, did you sleep at your house last night?"

"Right."

"Third question, why did you pick up the phone this morning?"

Qiao Li heaved a sigh of relief, "Because Radix Sorbiae was in the bathroom at the time, I couldn't hear it clearly. Firstly, I wasn't able to make it in time, and secondly, I was afraid that you might be worried, so I picked it up for him."

"Alright, then the last one," Jian Wei's heart was about to collapse from shock. She only wanted to say that Qiao Li really wasn't a person who would lie, and repeat the same lie twice, how could she not see through it?

"Since it's such a normal thing, why did you come out to see me? I think you can give me an explanation."

Their relationship was very ordinary, and only had Xiao Yihan as their middleman. But all of these were related to Xiao Yihan, and they could all be solved with just a phone call. However, Qiao Li did not tell him.

"Because I do not wish for the relationship between you and the Radix Sorbiae to worsen. You have only just made peace, so you must trust each other at this time." After saying this sentence, Qiao Li himself was no longer willing to believe it.

He thought that Jian Wei had already guessed a little.

As expected, in the next second, Jian Wei threw out a bomb, "Did something happen to Xia Anqi, or was it the result of your investigation three years ago?"

Only the matter from three years ago would be able to move Xiao Yihan. His concern for that matter far exceeded the imagination of everyone, even if he said that he wouldn't care about it before, the look in his eyes said that he couldn't find the result, and so he chose to give up.

Qiao Li's expression instantly changed, he did not know how to respond. He thought that Jian Wei must have always thought that person was Xiao Yihan, but the reality was really very cruel.

"It's alright, Joe's Assistant. If you know what's good for you, just say it. I can take it.

Jian Wei forced herself to calm down, and pretended to be indifferent. It was because she did not want to pressure Qiao Li that she got the truth.

She really wanted to know what kind of imagination Xia Anqi and the others had.

After a long period of silence, Qiao Li finally understood that there were some things that if he did not say it now, he would cause even more harm in the future.

"Why don't you order a cup of milk tea first? I'm afraid you won't be able to accept something sweet."

As he said that, he called for a waiter. Jian Wei didn't really understand what was going through his mind, but it was all because of his personality.

Seeing the milk tea in front of Jian Wei, Qiao Li finally said slowly, "Radix Sorbiae indeed didn't see a customer last night, but Xia Anqi's father. From his mouth, I found out the truth three years ago."

Then, he paused and looked at Jian Wei's expression before continuing, "Later on, I also investigated this truth. That night, the one who had relations with you was not Radix Sorbiae, but the young master of the Lan family, Lan Zhenghan."

Hearing these words, Jian Wei's first thought was to laugh. How did those people do it, to twist things to this extent?

"Madam, please do not tell Radix Sorbiae that I was the one who leaked this information to you," Qiao Li reminded his. "I know that you will not accept it at this time, but I have verified it, and that it was indeed the case. Furthermore, Radix Sorbiae was also conflicted over this matter, so he has you in his heart, so he does not know what to do."

"Thank you, Qiao Li," Jian Wei said weakly.

Qiao Li was prepared to persuade her again, but Jian Wei opened her mouth first, her expression was extremely sincere, "Are you willing to believe me?"

At this time, she felt even more hopeless — her own helplessness. There was no one who could help her, and no one who could stand on her side. Thus, she could only plead with Qiao Li in front of her.

"Madam, I trust you. If you have anything to say, just say it." This was a very strange feeling. Qiao Li didn't know why, but he agreed immediately.

Jian Wei took a deep breath, "What happened three years ago was my nightmare. It was precisely that night that I contracted a mental illness and needed to take a tranquil pill to be able to fall asleep, but I am absolutely certain that the person who was involved with me was definitely Xiao Yihan, not some Lan Zhenghan that I have never heard of before."

As for the watch, or any other evidence of her, they were all useless now.

It was laughable that she didn't have any evidence, but she still hoped that others would believe her.

"Madam," Qiao Li said with a complicated expression.

He did not believe it, and did not know how to believe it either.

"I know I don't have any evidence. These words are laughable in your eyes. I also don't have any other requirements, I just hope that you can continue investigating. I will do my best to give you whatever you need." Jian Wei's voice was very panicked, and finally revealed her own emotions.

Qiao Li was in a difficult situation, but looking at Jian Wei's expression, she still agreed, "Alright, I will help you continue to investigate. Actually, in my opinion, Xia Anqi's father is not a simple master, it's very possible that he is just lying to Radix Sorbiae."

"Thank you so much. I didn't expect things to turn out like this." She had thought that all the bad things were about to end, but reality had truly left her powerless.

Qiao Li had to go back to work. Before he left, he had a question, "How do you plan to face Radix Sorbiae next?"

"I will wait for him to personally say these things to me before I go and tell him the truth. As for whether or not he will believe me, that is not something that I can control." Jian Wei's tone was close to despair, but other than these, she could not think of anything else.

"Alright, then I'll be leaving first. You should leave as soon as possible."

The waiter came over to ask if there was anything else that he could help her with. Jian Wei waved her hand and continued to sit there, because she didn't have the strength to stand up.

Who is Lan Zhenghan? Why did she want to bind the two of them together? What was Xia Anqi planning?

The answer to all these questions, Jian Wei simply did not have any thoughts.

Her hands were in her hair, and her manner was sad and forlorn.

It was Chu Ziwei and Chu Feng's birthday. She didn't like those friends celebrating for her, so she forcefully pulled Chu Feng over.

Chu Ziwei's face was full of joy. As she walked, she said, "I want to make a wish later, you have to sing for me. It can't even be a birthday song, I want to hear something else."

"Okay, today is your birthday, I will reluctantly agree," just as he finished speaking, Chu Feng's gaze fell on Jian Wei.

Looking at her listless expression, it seemed as if something had happened.
