Chapter 431: You’re Framing Me
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Before the operation, Song Fan brought some documents to see Chen Jun who was in jail.
When he heard that his daughter could undergo surgery, he signed the contract without hesitation.
“I, I don’t know how to thank you.” Chen Jun wiped his tears with his sleeve. “I treated you so badly, but you still want to help my daughter. I, I…”
“You helped me too. If you didn’t buy the medicine for me, I wouldn’t have recovered so quickly.” Song Fan looked at him with a complicated expression. “But I have a condition.”
Chen Jun quickly nodded. “Tell me, even if you want my life, I’ll give it to you!”
When she saw Zhao Li, she had not washed up for a few days. She was still wearing the same clothes that Gu Chen had caught her in.
Sensing light coming in from the basement, she narrowed her eyes and looked up at the person. Then, she said coldly, “It’s you, you b*tch!”
Gu Chen did not hand her over to the police. He had already found out that she and Meng Xia were in cahoots. To be more precise, she was the one who dragged Meng Xia into the mess.
She had seen the news on the Internet, so she would not let Meng Xia off so easily. Even if she died, she had to drag someone down with her.
However, she did not expect that not only did Gu Chen not call the police, but he also locked her up there. Other than water, he did not give her anything to eat.
“You b*tch! If it weren’t for you, Gu Chen wouldn’t have treated me like this!” Zhao Li used all her strength to stand up but was gently blocked by Song Fan.
“If it wasn’t me?” Song Fan smiled and asked, “Do you think Gu Chen will fall in love with you? And you’ll be Mrs. Gu?”
After so many years of mercenary life, Song Fan knew how to break through others’ psychological defenses.
She was not a kind person. Although she would not seek revenge for the smallest grievance, but she would not easily let go of the person who harmed her. Besides, she had been puzzled. The rumor that she and Gu Chen were engaged had long been around. Why did Zhao Li suddenly come to A City to make things difficult?
“Even without me, Gu Chen wouldn’t have taken a fancy to you.” Song Fan’s tone was filled with contempt and sarcasm. “Oh right, your family is bankrupt, and there is still a lot of evidence of crimes that have been seized by the economic investigation. The Zhao family is gone now.”
She took out the evidence that Chen Jun had given her. Chen Jun had recorded every conversation with Zhao Li before. He had not touched a single cent of the money that Zhao Li had given him.
Song Fan’s condition for helping him was that he had to put all the crimes on Zhao Li and lie that Zhao Li had used his daughter to threaten him from the beginning.
He had the recording. It was just a change in the timing of the threat, but it could make Zhao Li bear all the blame.
“Chen Jun kept the evidence that you instigated him to kidnap me.” Song Fan turned off the recording. “And you used his daughter to threaten him into helping you kidnap me. Chen Jun and his friend were coerced by you, and Meng Xia was also used by you. In the end, you’ll be the only one who goes to jail.”
“No, that’s not it!” Zhao Li propped herself up on the chair and tried to stand up. “You’re helping them get away with this. You’re framing me!”
Song Fan casually put away the evidence. “Don’t worry, you will go to jail. Ten years, eight years, or even longer.”
“Impossible, impossible! The Xu family will help me! Let me out, let me out.” She thought about the recording that she had sent out in the end. Xu Wen would help her. Xu Wen would not leave her in the lurch.
“Xu Wen?” Song Fan keenly caught the key point, as if all the key points were about to be solved.
“Xu Wen was betrothed by the elders of the Gu family. How could she help you?” she continued. “Without me, she would be the Mrs. Gu.”
Since Xu Wen and Song Yin had joined forces to deal with her, they might not have given up just like that. When the Xu family had sent over the contract for the store transfer, it seemed that the Xu family was extremely unwilling as well. Song Fan knew that they would probably cause trouble for her in the future, but she did not expect them to cause trouble again so soon.
“She doesn’t like Gu Chen! Xu Wen just treats him as her brother.” Zhao Li tidied her hair and said arrogantly, “So what if the Xu family and the Gu Family are on good terms? Xu Wen is disfigured now. Only I am worthy of Gu Chen. You are just a clown. Do you think Gu Chen loves you?”
Gu Chen liked Song Fan. Zhao Li knew very well in her heart that the changes in the past few days had made her think things through a lot, including Xu Wen’s various instigations.
But so what? She did not have any evidence. Even if she did, how could she fight Xu Wen in her current situation? She just didn’t want to show her cowardice in front of Song Fan. As long as she could make Song Fan suffer, she would feel better.
Unfortunately, Song Fan’s words destroyed her hope.
