“Also, don’t think about telling Nian Junting about this.” Jiang Qifei turned and said, “I put the evidence in a very secret place. Nian Junting can’t find it, no matter how capable he is. As you said, I know much more than Nian Junting does. For example, I know why that assistant suddenly left…”
“You told him in advance?” Luosang now understood why Nian Junting couldn’t find that person. She was curious about the people who had been helping Jiang Qifei. Were they more powerful than Nian Junting?
“I only told him that Xu Luosang is looking for him. It was his own decision to leave.” Jiang Qifei shrugged. “But, even if you found him, he wouldn’t tell you the truth. Because telling the truth is gonna put him in prison. Who would do that?”
Done talking, she turned and prepared to leave. Luosang stood up and said, “Wait. I think we’re not done here.”
“I’ve said what I needed to say, and you didn’t give me any promise,” said Jiang Qifei. “Besides, even if you promise me you’ll leave Nian Junting, I wouldn’t believe you. You two might lie to me together, or you may leave now, but when your father gets out, you and he might get back together.”
“What exactly do you want, then? If anything happens to my father, your so-called evidence will become useless.” Luosang did have that kind of plan. She planned to pretend to break up with Nian Junting, then get back together with him after she got that evidence.
“I don’t care. He’s not my father,” Jiang Qifei replied carelessly.
“You don’t want me to persuade Nian Junting to marry your daughter, do you? I don’t have that kind of ability,” said Luosang coldly.
“Betray him.” Jiang Qifei chuckled. “As long as you betray him and make him hate your guts, I’ll give the evidence to you. What a man can’t stand the most is his woman cheating on him. Do you know what I mean? I want Nian Junting to catch you in bed with another man. You can make it real or not, but you have to make it look real.”
“You’re so evil.” Hearing her words, Luosang’s face paled. Nian Junting couldn’t even stand her being friends with Chi Shengxu. If anything happened between her and another man, he would never forgive her. He would hate her so much. More importantly, he was so nice to her. How could she hurt him like that?
“Don’t think you can fake it with him. I have to see it with my own eyes. If I have any doubt, I’ll destroy the evidence immediately. For me, the worst case would be that my daughter can’t be together with him, but for you, your father might spend the rest of his life in prison.” Jiang Qifei continued, “Also, just in case, I won’t give you the evidence once you break up with him. You have to wait at least three months. If you trust Nian Junting, let him keep investigating for three more months. But in that case, I won’t keep the evidence. You have to know that your father’s case has all eyes on it. There’s no guarantee that you can reverse the verdict. Without sufficient evidence, the court won’t overturn the conviction. If anything goes wrong, you might put yourself in trouble. Nian Junting is too inflexible and righteous. He won’t take advantage of social status and pull strings.”
“I can promise you I’ll leave him, but I can’t sleep with another man to hurt him. I can’t do such a thing.” Luosang finished the coffee in one gulp. The bitterness spread to the root of her tongue from her throat. “I’ll do it in my own way.”
“You still need to satisfy me, or I won’t give you the evidence. At least, you need to make him completely give up on you. Also, you can’t tell anyone about this. Otherwise, there might be consequences.” Jiang Qifei sneered and left.
