The man-made fire in Syria five years ago, other than Mu Xi and Tong Qin, who had taken the initiative to tell Ji Yunshen and Xie Zhiqian about it, she had never told anyone else about it.

Ji Han was suddenly involved in that incident. She thought that Mu Xi must have revealed something to her or mentioned something to wake her up.

She still remembered that rainy afternoon when Tong Qin found her. She also clearly remembered the words that she had said to her that she was sorry and that she wanted to start over.

Other than that, she also told her many things about how they had met when they were young, how they had accidentally become best friends, and how they had completely broken up in the end.

Of course, she also confessed to her many things, such as how she had arranged for Jiang Yingdong and Xiao Meng to sleep together behind her back, and also confessed that she had used her to get close to Ji Yunshen.

She also confessed to many other things that she had tampered with.

Qiao man just listened quietly. She did not even fully understand why she had come all the way here to confess to her and beg for her forgiveness. Just then, the simple medical tent that they were in started to catch fire.

And when the fire started, it happened to be when she wanted to confess to her about the child in her stomach and the unforgivable things she had done for this child.

Almost instantly, the surroundings were filled with the noise of people and the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground. She could not hear what she said at all. She only saw her standing in a sea of fire. Her eyes were like shining stars, reflecting the entire Sea of fire Her Bright Red Lips opened and closed, as if she was saying a person’s name.

She really wanted to go closer to hear it, but before she got close, she was pushed out by Tong Qin with all her strength.

The choking smoke slowly entered her lungs. She felt that the whole world was spinning. And at the moment when she was about to faint, a slender white figure flashed by. Now that she thought about it, it was exactly the same as Ji Han’s figure.

This was also the other half of the fire that she hid from Ji Yunshen.

She did not know whether she should believe him or whether he would unconditionally protect and trust Ji Han after she chose to believe him. This was the reason why she was hesitating.

And this was also the reason why Huang Yao came to her and said Ji Han’s words, but she chose to believe him without any hesitation.

At that time, she had chosen to return to the country. Firstly, she wanted Xin Qiao to have a bone marrow transplant. Secondly, she wanted to find out the truth about the fire in Syria. She wanted to know what exactly needed to be done to kill her and Tong Qin.

She had been returning to the country for nearly a month. She had always wanted to use the most conservative and low-key method to secretly investigate this matter, but she had not expected that this matter would suddenly be placed in everyone’s sights.

Just as she had said, when the matter of Ji Han not really hurting her surfaced, she would not deliberately use any means to deal with her.

But if there was, she would definitely not let it go.

Ji Yunshen saw the small details of her hiding the USB in his palm, but he did not say anything. He only said in a low voice, “I won’t trouble President Gu with such a small task. I’ll help her deal with it myself… ”

“President Ji, I’ll deal with my own matters myself, so can I trouble you to leave first? ”

After seeing the undercurrents surging between the two of them, Gu Xichen spread his hands helplessly and looked at Ji Yunshen who was looking down at him lazily. “President Ji, you can’t blame me for this. It was beauty Qiao who chose me! ”

Gu Xichen’s smiling expression entered the man’s eyes. There was almost no change in his gaze. It was still as profound as before, so complicated that no one could understand it.

The two men with similar auras stared at each other for more than ten seconds. After a long time, they were interrupted by the sudden vibration of Qiao Man’s phone in her pocket.

It was a wechat message tone. Qiao man took out her phone from her handbag and opened the wechat APP. When she entered the interface, there were two voice messages.

It was from Huang Yao.

She first opened the first voice message. Perhaps because the time was too short, she could not hear what she was saying clearly.

When she opened the second voice message, there was a shrill voice accompanied by the sound of rapid braking and accelerator. “Man man, be careful… ah… ”

The second half of the voice message was the violent sound of a car rolling. Qiao man could not help but hold her phone tightly and call out anxiously, “Miss Huang, Miss Huang… ”

After calling out twice, she realized that it was a wechat voice message and not a phone call.

She put the USB and phone into her handbag and then ran out. She had just taken two steps when the man grabbed her hand and she couldn’t move.

“What’s wrong, man man? ”

“Miss Huang seemed to have been in a car accident. I need to rush over. Let go of me. I don’t have time to explain to you… ”

Then, she was about to shake off his hand, but he held her even tighter. “I’ll drive you there! ”

“No need… ”

“It’s raining outside, and Lin city is so big. Do you know where she would have been in a car accident? Man Man, don’t try to be brave. Without me, you wouldn’t be able to find the location of Miss Huang’s accident quickly. ”

“There’s no need for that… ”

Before he could finish his sentence, the man stretched out his strong arm and forcefully pulled her into his embrace. Then, he walked out of the hotel room.

Gu xichen still had a lot of mocking words to say to Ji Yunshen. However, the wechat voice message on Qiao Man’s phone immediately ended the conversation. At the same time, a thick and unfathomable fog appeared in his eyes.



Qiao man had just walked into the elevator when she heard the sound of her phone vibrating. At first, she thought that it was the phone in her handbag vibrating. Just as she was about to lower her head to pull the Zipper of her handbag to take the phone.. She saw the man beside her take out a thin black phone from his trouser pocket at a leisurely pace. Then, he swiftly slid down the answer button.

It was a little past seven o’clock at night. This floor was full of high-class presidential suites. The floor was covered with high-class dark-colored carpets, and the walls were covered with high-class soft bags. The soundproofing and muting effects were very good, which made it very quiet at this moment It was so quiet that it made people panic.

It was precisely because of this kind of silence that Qiao Man, who was standing beside Ji Yunshen, was able to clearly identify who the female voice on the other end of the radio was.

It could be imagined that it was Ji Han.

Her voice was trembling, but it was unknown whether it was cold or afraid “Ah… Ah Shen, I was on the coastal highway just now… there was a car accident here, and I crashed into another car. That car… that car fell off the roadside fence and fell… into the sea. Ah Shen, I didn’t do it on purpose… what should I do now? ”

Ji Han was drenched in the hazy spring rain. She stood at the gap where the car had crashed into the roadside fence. She looked at the turbulent sea surface and the red cars that were slowly being swallowed by the sea surface. Occasionally, passing cars would see the cars in front of them lying on the road She was driving a double flash, and there were many pieces of the car that had been left behind after the car accident on the road. She could not help but slow down.

The beams of light gradually moved further and further away. Her figure was shrouded by the dim yellow streetlights on the side of the road, making her look especially thin and petite.

A few seconds later, another car drove over. As the car slowly turned from the corner at the foot of the mountain to the road surface, the headlights from the car looked closer and closer, reflecting her side profile clearly.

The owner of the car could clearly see through the driving recorder that there was not much emotional reaction on the face of the woman on the side of the road. She was just looking at the cliff that was dozens of meters below.

Ji Yunshen’s body stiffened for a moment. It was probably an instinctive reaction that was formed after the overlapping of disappointment and ferment.

Meanwhile, after Qiao man clearly heard the words on the other end of the phone, her heart could not help but fall. Why was it so coincidental A minute ago, Huang Yao had sent her a voice message and got into a car accident. The next minute, Ji Han had called Ji Yunshen and told him about the car accident.

Could it be… … that the person she hit was Huang Yao ? ?

“where exactly are you now? Did you get a clear look at the person in the car and the license plate number? ”

The elevator in front of her opened with a Ding. The woman in her arms tried to shake off the man next to her and walk in, but she was firmly controlled by the man’s strong arms and could not move.

Ji Han heard the sound coming from the other end of the receiver and looked around, making her breathing even more chaotic and at a loss “At the intersection of the coastal road and… and Donghu Road, I couldn’t see clearly. It was too dark at night and it was raining. I couldn’t see anything clearly! ”

“Are you hurt? ”

“No, I just have a little scratch. ”

The trembling and suppressed sobs continued to come from the other end of the phone. Ji Yunshen’s beautiful eyebrows raised. In the blurry light reflected by the elevator door, it seemed even more unfathomable, making it impossible for people to guess anything at all.

Ji Yunshen lightly nodded, and then said in a low voice, “okay. ” “okay, I got it. Call 120 first aid first, then call the insurance company. I’ll drive in the direction you said. I’ll be there in about half an hour. Try not to move the car. This way, the accident investigation will be clearer, understand? ”

Ji Han nodded, her nasal voice thick. “Yes, Ah Shen, come quickly. I’M SO SCARED! ”

After hanging up the phone, Ji Yunshen pressed the elevator button again. Ten seconds later, the elevator door slowly opened. He held the woman in his arms and walked in. His slender fingers quickly pressed the number button. In the next second, the elevator began to steadily descend.

“something happened to Ji Han. Hurry up and take care of it. I’ll go find teacher Huang Myself. I don’t need to trouble you! ”

Her shoulders were thin and small. With his big hand on it, he did not need to use much strength to firmly control her in front of his chest.

Ji Yunshen did not move, nor did he let go of her. Instead, he said lightly, “Man man, I know that you don’t trust me right now, and I also know that you want to protect your interests in a conservative way, but it seems that it’s impossible now. You can only try to trust me, and then face the dirty and ugly hidden behind the beautiful shadows with me. ”

After Qiao man heard this, she raised her head and was caught off guard. What she saw was his eyes that were as deep as the night. There were too many obscure things that were difficult to understand, as well as thick suppressed pain.

“Ji Yunshen, can I really trust you? ”

Ji Yunshen reached out and rubbed her soft hair. His voice was even more magnetic and gentle. “Yes. ”

Qiao man looked at him for more than ten seconds or even longer before she slowly withdrew her gaze. She did not speak or struggle anymore. It was as if she had really chosen to trust him.

Or to be more precise, before everything was completely clear, temporarily trusting him was the only way to dispel the fog.



Half an hour later, the Smoky Gray Bentley slowly stopped at the intersection of coastal road and Donghu Road.

The color of the red and blue strobe lights of ambulances, police cars, and search and rescue vehicles were all around. Mixed with the orange lights of the tall street lamps that fell from the sky, it was a particularly panicked and sorrowful color.

Secretary Sun, who had rushed to the scene first, saw Ji Yunshen and Qiao man get out of the smoky gray car and hurriedly went forward to introduce the accident situation at the scene.

Just as Qiao man had expected and guessed, the car that Ji Han had crashed into was the red Porsche that Huang Yao was driving.

The rain was very heavy, and in the sight of the mixed lights, it almost blurred everything in front of her.

Ji Han was wearing a blanket handed over by the medical staff. After cooperating with the insurance company to complete the scene investigation and report, she only felt that her entire body was very hot, her head was heavy, her legs were light, and she felt dizzy and weak.

Perhaps because she had been in the rain for too long, coupled with the coldness that seeped into her bones, she already had some symptoms of a cold. Just as she turned her head with the help of the medical staff, she saw the man holding a black umbrella, against the light and shadow He was holding a petite and graceful woman as he slowly walked over from not too far away, like a pair of beautiful people that had been meticulously carved by God.

Perhaps after God created a handsome man, he would also create a beautiful woman to match him. Qiao man was undoubtedly one of the top beauties in Lin city, and also one of the top beauties in terms of temperament. She was not surprised from the start Ah Shen would like her and dote on her, but she had never thought that he would love her so much.

When she walked closer, Ji Han had already forgotten all the opening remarks that she had just prepared. Her pair of deep black eyes were staring straight at Ji Yunshen and Qiao Man.

After more than ten seconds, a deep smile appeared on Ji Han’s fair face. She said in a low and indifferent voice, “Ah Shen, YOU’RE HERE! ”

Her entire body was drenched by the rain. Her Long, straight black hair stuck to her face, and her makeup was also diluted by the rain, so she looked particularly miserable. She reached out to grab the blanket in front of her, trying her best to hide her embarrassment, but the more she did so.. The more she felt an invisible sense of inferiority rising from every corner of her body.

“Hmm, how’s the search and rescue going? Why did it rear-end with teacher Huang’s car? ”

Ji Han blinked her innocent eyes and shook her head desperately “I don’t know why the car’s braking system suddenly went out of control. I tried my best to control the car’s speed and balance, but the road was too slippery and visibility was low. By the time I controlled the car to drive normally, I had caught up with teacher Huang’s car in front… “… “…”

Ji Yunshen’s pitch-black eyes became darker and thicker. His voice was very low, just like his eyes “Your car will be regularly maintained. How could there be a situation where the braking system suddenly went out of control? Han ‘er, now is not the time to lie and make excuses. You have to tell me the truth so that I can possibly help you… ”

Having said that, he paused. His eyes, which were as black as the sea, looked at the surface of the sea under the car’s guardrail “otherwise… on such a rainy night in early spring, if you fall into the sea along with your car, even if you don’t drown, you will freeze to death. You will also bear the corresponding criminal responsibility. Do you understand? ”

His eyes seemed to reflect everything in the pitch-black night, including her miserable appearance.

This gaze seemed to be giving her one last indulgence, and also to give her one last chance. In short, it was so complicated that Ji Han could not understand it.

Ji Han tightened the blanket in her hand, and her entire body became even colder. “Ah Shen, if you don’t believe me, then just leave. I will take care of my own matters. I’ll have to trouble you to make a trip in the rainy night! ”

The man took a deep breath and lowered his eyes. “Han ‘er, let me ask you again. What happened just now? ”

“I’ve already explained. I’m grateful if you believe me. If you don’t believe me, there’s nothing I can do… ”

Qiao man could not listen anymore. Perhaps Ji Han was too good at such innocent reactions and expressions. She was afraid that Ji Yunshen would be soft-hearted.

She reached out and tugged at Ji Yunshen’s sleeve. Then, she stood slightly forward and shielded JI yunshen behind her “Ji Han, Huang Yao came to my psychological consultation room to look for me in the evening. She said that you called her three days ago in the early morning. She also said that she was very similar to a woman who died in the fire in Syria five years ago. Therefore, she threatened her not to talk nonsense. Otherwise, I can’t guarantee that anything would happen to her! ”

“But not long after she left my office, when she sent me a wechat voice message, she got into a car accident. Moreover, it was you who rear-ended her car. Don’t you think… This series of events is very coincidental? ”

Ji Han listened very calmly and nodded very, very lightly. “It is quite coincidental! ”

“Is it? Is it really a coincidence? ”

Qiao Man’s lips had a faint smile from the beginning to the end. Her deep black eyes were also reflecting the light from the street lamps. Her voice was neither fast nor slow, like a gurgling stream “From East Lake Road to the coastal road, only this corner at the foot of the mountain road has no cameras installed. It’s a blind spot for surveillance, but your car just happened to rear-end Huang Yao’s car here. Such simple logic, even a three-year-old child knows to suspect you. Ji Han, how long do you want to lie? ”

“I’m lying? ”

Ji Han lowered her head slightly and looked at her shadow that was stretched by the street lamps. After a long while, she raised her head and asked Qiao man with a smile, “then May I ask what lie I told you? Do you have any evidence? ”

It was because everything was just speculation that she did not appear from the very beginning. She had been fighting against her and had been conserving her energy while waiting for the right opportunity. And now, she felt that it was the best and the most correct time.

“Of course I do! ”

As she said this, Qiao man took out the USB that Huang Yao had given her from her handbag and waved it in front of Ji Han’s eyes. Her tone was cold and indifferent “This is what Huang Yao left for me when she went to my office to look for me. I think there should be a lot of your secrets here… ”

She directly omitted the rest of the words.

When you hit the snake, you hit the weak spot. Qiao man still understood this principle.

She took out this USB because Huang Yao gave her a 60% certainty of her guess, and the remaining 40% was to test her.

Because other than the fire in Syria, she had no clear evidence to prove that she had done anything else, so she could only test her.

Ji Han glanced at the USB in Qiao Man’s hand, then glanced at the man who always gave most of the umbrella to Qiao man to shield her from the rain. She smiled and said, “okay, then I’ll wait and see the secrets in this USB! ”

Just as she finished speaking, a few police cars drove over. In the leading police car sat Lu Yubai and the director of the Lin City Public Security Bureau. When the traffic police officers who were handling the accident saw this, they quickly stopped what they were doing They trotted over in their raincoats and saluted.

First, the director of the Public Security Bureau walked out of the traffic police car with an umbrella in hand. Then, Lu Yubai walked out of the other car door with an umbrella in hand. When he walked around the front of the car, he directly embraced Ji Han who was drenched in the rain He tilted the black umbrella in his hand toward her, blocking the wind and rain above her head.

“I heard that you had a rear-end collision? Are you injured? ”

Ji Han shook her head and struggled slightly. She wanted to break free from his embrace, but he grabbed her and firmly held her in front of his chest.

Lu Yubai was not angry. After looking at the woman in front of him, he immediately looked at director Li, who was standing at the side. His voice was especially deep and magnetic amid the falling spring rain “Director Li, Han ‘Er was caught in the rain. Does she still need to go back with you to make a statement? ”

Director Li wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and said in a respectful tone, “young Master Lu, in principle, she has to go back with us to make a statement. After all, the person involved in the accident fell into the sea, and it’s unknown whether he’s alive or dead. If we do it too carelessly, it will inevitably attract criticism… ”

Director Li didn’t say the rest of the sentence, nor did he dare to say it.

In front of a man who had money and power, one only had to be careful when speaking. After all, no one wanted to listen to a bunch of useless nonsense.

“I see! ” Lu Yubai lowered his head again and looked at Ji Han, who was unusually quiet in front of him. “Then I’ll go with Han ‘er to make a statement! ”

After saying that, he leaned close to her ear and whispered, “let’s go, baby! ”

Ji Han’s body was extremely stiff. When Lu Yubai made these frivolous moves, she didn’t even dodge, or she was so embarrassed that she couldn’t dodge.

Seeing that she didn’t object, Lu Yubai smiled at Ji Yunshen and Qiao man opposite him and said in a sarcastic tone, “President Ji, you came so late. Are you here to help Han ‘er deal with the accident? Or are you here to watch the show? ”

After saying that, he did not listen to Ji Yunshen’s answer and used Ji Han to get into the police car.

Chief Li gave the space in front of the car to Lu Yubai and Ji Han, and took the initiative to sit in the car behind.

Ji Yunshen did not move, and neither did Qiao Man. She knew that it was too difficult for her to reveal Ji Han’s true colors before the USB drive was completely decoded.

The rain was still falling, and it fell on the umbrella, turning into a dull sound.

She felt the sea breeze with the rain, and could not help but hug herself.

A few seconds later, her shoulder was wrapped by a strong arm. He hugged her as they walked.

After taking a few steps, she asked him, “Ji Yunshen, if you had to choose between me and Ji Han, who would you believe? ”

Her ears were filled with the noise of the rain and wind, as well as the sounds of various vehicles and search and rescue personnel. She held her breath and waited for his answer.
