Hidden identities of the AI Heiress-Chapter 976: Fabricating Evidence
However, she quickly became panicked.
No!
There was no admission information for her!
At this moment, Jiang Jing felt as if her blood was flowing backward. Despite the scorching heat, her fingers were icy cold.
What was Huo Lin trying to do?
Where did he intend to take her?
Jiang Jing’s thoughts were in turmoil. Was it because she knew too many secrets that he wanted to silence her by killing her?
It was not convenient to act within the country, so was he planning to take her abroad?
The more Jiang Jing thought about it, the more anxious she became. She forced herself to calm down, put away her phone, stood up, and without arousing suspicion said, "I’m going to the restroom."
The bodyguard instinctively wanted to follow.
Jiang Jing impatiently said, "Why would you follow me to the ladies’ room? Brother Lin asked you to escort me, not to surveil me."
The bodyguard naturally couldn’t admit that the young master tasked him with surveillance to avoid raising Jiang Jing’s suspicions, so he did not follow.
Due to this slight negligence, Jiang Jing succeeded in escaping.
She left the airport, hailed a random cab, and then switched vehicles several times.
To avoid being found by Huo Lin, she even discarded her SIM card and turned off her phone, paying for the rides in cash.
If Huo Lin found out she was missing, he would definitely search for her!
She was now at a point where she dared not even contact her family, truly left without any support.
As Jiang Jing looked at the scenery outside the car window, her heart was filled with regret.
If she had known, she would not have gotten involved in Huo Family’s messy affairs, wouldn’t it have been better to stay quietly in Yuncheng?
Jiang Jing bit her nails in panic. She might be able to hide for a moment, but not for a lifetime; she would eventually be caught.
She had to find a way to save herself.
With the strength of the Jiang Family, they couldn’t contend with the Huo Family. The only person who could save her was Pei Ya!
But now, she dared not act rashly.
Besides, she didn’t have Pei Ya’s contact information, and Su Qingyan might not necessarily help her, so her only option was to find Qiao Yun, who was close to Pei Ya.
Jiang Jing gritted her teeth. It was Huo Lin who had gone back on his word, so she could not be blamed for betraying Fu Yun.
Jiang Jing didn’t know that Qiao Yun had already sent people to capture her, and at this moment, she was agonizing over how to avoid Huo Lin’s pursuit.
In her heart, she was full of regret, wishing she could go back to before she had recognized Fu Yun as her godmother.
Xu Qiao was also looking for Jiang Jing. She had instructed Jiang Jing to call her upon arrival at the airport but had not received a call. When she called Jiang Jing, the phone was switched off.
Thinking Jiang Jing had already boarded the plane, she didn’t pay much attention. Now that her daughter was gone, it was meaningless for her to remain, so she booked a flight back to Yuncheng.
On the other side, Huo Lin had also received an anxious call from the bodyguard. Knowing that Jiang Jing had run away, he wasn’t really concerned.
To him, Jiang Jing was just a minor character, incapable of causing any significant trouble.
Still, just in case, he sent people out to look for her.
Huo Lin quickly put Jiang Jing out of his mind; what he was most concerned about now was the death of Pei Ya’s parents.
Everyone thought it was a plane crash, but in fact, it was a car accident.
However, strangely, no one questioned the cause of their death; they all assumed it was a plane crash.
It seemed there was more to the story.
Huo Lin had already sent people to find the driver’s family members.
The driver had died on the spot, so the only option was to start with his family.
During this time, he discovered that another group was investigating the incident.
This person was undoubtedly Pei Ya.
Huo Lin tapped his fingers lightly on the table, his eyes deep with thought. He needed to hurry, to find the driver’s family before Pei Ya did.
That way, he could prepare a scapegoat testimony.
This was the only way to help Fu Yun get off the hook.
Huo Lin was not feeling guilty; the scapegoat he found was Huo Yaozong. He believed that Huo Yaozong was involved in this matter, perhaps not just him... There must be quite a few people from the Huo Family implicated as well.
He considered it a helping hand towards catching one of the killers for Pei Ya.
...
Hotel.
After finishing dinner, Qiao Yun left with Li Hanzhou, and she wouldn’t have to worry about the upcoming collaboration with the association.
On the way back, Qiao Yun received a call from Pei Ya.
"Boss, are you looking for Jiang Jing?"
Qiao Yun lazily hmm’d in response.
"What do you want with her?" Pei Ya was quite curious.
Professor Qiao had never paid any real attention to Jiang Jing; it was unexpected that she would want to find her.
Qiao Yun did not say much, only: "You’ll know once you find her."
"When did Jiang Jing become such a sought-after person? The Huo Family is also looking for her, and is Li Hanzhou searching for her on your behalf too?"
Pei Ya genuinely couldn’t understand.
Perhaps Jiang Jing should feel delighted; she actually had a day when three big players were searching for her.
Qiao Yun knew it was Huo Lin who was searching for Jiang Jing, and she said, "We need to find her first."
"Understood, I can’t miss out on such a matter."
Pei Ya was clueless about why Qiao Yun was looking for Jiang Jing; he only knew he had to outdo Huo Lin and Li Hanzhou.
...
At the same moment.
Once Huo Lin’s subordinates made a move.
Huo Yaozong was immediately informed, but he had no idea what Huo Lin was up to. This uncertainty was the most unnerving part, compounded by the fact that Fu Yun had kept silent for so long without any action.
After pondering, he decided to pay a visit to Fu Yun.
Upon seeing Huo Yaozong, Fu Yun frowned: "Why are you here again? If you have nothing to do, just go back to K Harbor."
Huo Yaozong said cheerfully, "Why isn’t sister-in-law going back?"
Fu Yun replied annoyedly, "I can’t go back yet, Jiujiu hasn’t acknowledged me."
Huo Yaozong sighed and spoke with ambiguous meaning, "A few days ago, Pei Ya contacted me asking whether his parents’ death had anything to do with you."
Huo Yaozong was bluffing, but seeing Fu Yun’s panicked look, he felt something odd. Yet, securing control over Fu Yun was currently the priority, so he suppressed his suspicion and spoke with the authority of an elder.
"That’s pure nonsense. What could his parents’ death possibly have to do with you?"
"It has nothing to do with me!" Fu Yun’s lips trembled slightly. Why would Jiujiu suddenly ask Huo Yaozong? Could it be they discovered something?
Huo Yaozong continued, "I also said it had nothing to do with you, but the way he sees it, he has already concluded that you’re involved. I reckon it won’t be long before he comes looking for you."
Fu Yun’s panic was visibly apparent.
Huo Yaozong smiled and said, "However, he’s probably quite busy lately. I heard that Qiao Yun from the Lu Family has a birthday coming up, and given his regard for Qiao Yun, he is surely going to take it very seriously."
The news of the Lu Family hosting a birthday party for Qiao Yun wasn’t a secret; everyone in their circle knew about it, especially someone like Huo Yaozong who kept an eye on Qiao Yun.
Upon the mention of Qiao Yun, Fu Yun inevitably recalled what Huo Yaozong had said previously.
Control Qiao Yun, and Pei Ya will obey.
A fierce glint flickered in Fu Yun’s eyes.
After Huo Yaozong left.
Fu Yun sat on the sofa, her head throbbing fiercely, her mind consumed with the thought that Pei Ya must never find out the truth.
How could one control a person?
One could either confine her or find leverage against her, and if there were no leverage, it could be fabricated.
Fu Yun’s eyes hardened with resolve. She couldn’t hesitate anymore; it was time for action.
If she waited any longer, she wouldn’t be able to lock Pei Ya away.
With that thought, she took out her phone and dialed a number she hadn’t contacted in a long time.
