Chapter 149: Chapter 149: The True Face of Mother Tian Chapter 149: Chapter 149: The True Face of Mother Tian “But now, things are different; your dad is getting out of prison, and I have to tell you this. He killed my dad because my dad tried to extort a million from him. It wasn’t for no reason, as you think.”
“He really is a murderer, letting him out isn’t a good thing!”
Ye Chuyi felt this didn’t make sense, “My dad and your dad had absolutely no connection, they didn’t even know each other. Why would he suddenly extort my dad? And for a million? My dad was just a security guard with a low salary; there’s no way he could co up with that much money.”
“I don’t know the specifics, I just rember, during that ti, my dad was very excited every day, saying he was going to strike it rich. Maybe, your dad has so secret you don’t know about?”
“What secrets could a plain and simple security guard possibly have?”
“How would I know? Anyway, I’ve said what I should and even what I shouldn’t. I’ve said all there is to say, it’s up to you now.”
After speaking, Du Xiaoguang hung up the phone directly.
Ye Chuyi gripped the phone tightly, standing there without moving for a long ti.
She didn’t know how much truth there was in Du Xiaoguang’s words, but it seed he had no reason to slander his deceased father with the cri of extortion. The man was already dead, framing him for extortion made no sense and wasn’t in line with Du Xiaoguang’s usual behavior.
Unless what he said was true.
But she had never heard Shi Youjin ntion this matter.
If he really had been coerced into murder by extortion, that would be a very beneficial testant for reducing his sentence. So why wouldn’t he speak of it?
Ye Chuyi fell deep into thought.
As if turned by fate’s silent gears, eighteen years ago her father was extorted for a million, and eighteen years later, she was being extorted for five million.
Is there a connection between the two?
Could Tian’s mother actually know sothing?
Sheng Tingyuan was right, her magic of good fortune on rainy days hadn’t disappeared; the transfer of the five million was worthwhile. If he hadn’t helped her transfer the five million, they wouldn’t have investigated the person behind the number, they would have just dismissed it as spam.
Ye Chuyi picked up her bag, left the company, and drove to the Wen Family’s villa.
She didn’t go inside; Lin Yueqin would stop her, and it was impossible to go in. Of course, she didn’t want to go inside; she didn’t want to alert anyone else this ti.
She waited beside a row of trash bins.
After dinner every day, Tian’s mother would co here to throw away kitchen waste; such tasks were always done by her – Lin Yueqin never did them.
At seven-thirty, the plain and honest figure appeared.
Her back slightly hunched, she carried a large garbage bag in each hand, slowly walking towards this direction.
When she saw Ye Chuyi standing by the trash bins, she paused slightly, then a look of surprise crossed her face, “Xiaoyi, what are you doing here? Are you here to see Yueqin? Shall I call her for you?”
Her tone was as always, with a hint of people-pleasing and not insignificant pauses between each sentence, as if she found it difficult to communicate, struggling to interact with others.
She didn’t show any sign of a slip-up.
Ye Chuyi looked at her intently, “Tian’s mother, I’m not here to see her. I’m here to see you.”
Tian Qiugui looked even more surprised, “To see ?”
“You took my five million but didn’t tell anything. You don’t really think I’m going to let this go, do you?”
“What five million, I don’t understand what you’re talking about.”
Tian Qiugui said this and threw the trash into the trash bin, then turned and walked back at an unhurried pace.
Ye Chuyi spoke faintly from behind her, “Aren’t you still asking for ten million? I can give it to you, but you need to show so sincerity. Otherwise, I will have no choice but to call the police, and I’m sure they won’t be as easy to talk to as I am.”
Tian Qiugui paused in her steps, and then she turned and headed in a different direction.
Ye Chuyi followed her to the back of two lush, holly trees.
Tian Qiugui turned around, a slight smile on her face as she looked at Ye Chuyi, “This is a blind spot for surveillance, safer here.”
Ye Chuyi couldn’t quite identify her feeling, but in that instant, Tian Qiugui’s deanor completely changed; gone was the ekness, the dull expression, even her back straightened.
