Chapter 776 - Empress is on polite-hunt (VII) (1/2)
Liwei pursed his lips and stared at Xie Ming who was sitting opposite to him on the sofa and was staring at her fair hands to avoid eye-contact with him.
” So you're saying, it was Xie Ming who gave you the audio of Xinyi and Xie Rouxi in evidence?” Liwei asked to confirm what he has just heard. He wanted to know how she got her hands on the evidence and her response stunned him.
Xie Ming bit her lower lips and nodded before explaining, ” After I got Xie Ming's memories, I was overwhelmed and didn't know how to deal with this truth. However, when Zhao Ming was here, I thought it would be only right for her to know the truth behind her unjust death.”
Liwei's expressions were complicated upon hearing her words but he didn't interrupt and let her continue, ” At first, she didn't remember it and was shocked to know this truth. However, later she got the memories of that night, which made her even more impatient and angry.”
” But rather than doing anything rash, she tried to remember the more details of that night which I didn't remember. That's when she remembered about the phone that she used to record them.”
”That night, when Xinyi and Rouxi came to meet her, she found it quite sketchy as they have never treated her with such politeness before. Only after one drink, she started to feel tipsy and dizzy. That's when she put her phone on recording and hid in the bushes behind her when they were not looking.”
”Thankfully, the next day the gardener picked up the phone and handed it to Yu Mei since she was in charge of things related to Xie Ming,” she said while sighing in relief.
Liwei pursed his lips and asked in confusion, ” If Yu Mei had found the phone, she should have come to me. Why didn't she say anything?”
” She did. You were too busy with your work and the hospital issues that you ignored her. Moreover, you only cared about yourself at that time, why would you have cared about Xie Ming's phone.” she scoffed at him thinking how rude he used to be with Xie Ming before.
He cleared his throat upon hearing her indifferent words and tried to change her focus, ” And what about the other one? The video about the kidnapping case?”
The second one was the video where she confessed to her crime to get a psycho who already had a criminal background to kidnap and kill Xie Ming. Whenever he thinks about that day, his blood starts to boil. He can't believe that Xinyi can go on hire someone to ruin Xie Ming and kill her.
That time, despite Xiao Jun's torture, the man didn't spill the beans and was stick to his words that he hated all the girls who worked in the entertainment industry. Since he had a criminal background, they ended up handing it over to the police.
If he had known that it was Xinyi, he would have already taught her the lesson she deserves.
Xie Ming hesitated and pursed her lips when he asked about the second piece of evidence.
”Well, that...someone gave it to me.” She said while passing that question.
He squinted his eyes seeing her trying to get away from answering this. ” And who is it?”
Xie Ming pursed her lips in a thin line as she hesitated while telling him the source of the second piece of evidence.
”Well…”

Jian Yan stared at Xie Ming and knowing that after this day he would not be able to meet her, he pulled out the Pendrive from his jacket pocket and handed it to her.
When Xie Ming saw the Pendrive that he has pushed towards her, she put her chopsticks down and looked at him in confusion.
” I wanted to give you this before leaving the country.” He said while looking at her meaningfully.
” What is this?” she asked in confusion, wondering what it could be inside the Pendrive that he was giving her so carefully.
” Xie Ming, I couldn't help you before. But I hope it can help you to deal with people who have wronged you. This is my repayment for you saving me that day at the school from bullies.” he said with a bitter smile on his face as he knows that he was ending his one-sided love story with her for good now.
