Watanabe Kazuo heard this and forced a calm sneer, "Osuke’s death? What does that have to do with ?"
i Xiang stared at him, "Why did you let Reina leave early on the day my father t with trouble?"
Watanabe’s eyes flickered, "She’s an adult and your stepmother. Do you think she would just leave because I told her to? Do I have that much control?"
i Xiang saw this subtle reaction and was even more convinced of her thoughts.
"Of course, you can control her." She paused, "She has already told everything about what’s going on between you two."
Watanabe’s mouth curved slightly, already knowing he couldn’t escape jail, but if he could drag soone down with him, he would, "My affair with her? You’re grasping at straws."
"i Xiang, we need evidence for everything. Call her here, and I can confront her face to face."
"She can’t co anymore." i Xiang answered, "I’ve already sent her abroad."
"Then what are you wasting ti here for?" Watanabe retorted with a smile, "I only took your family’s money, I didn’t kill your father."
i Xiang closed her eyes for a mont, then took a hard drive containing the Brazilian Mine information from her bag, "But before she left, she gave this to ."
"What is this?"
"A video from my father’s study." i Xiang falsely claid, "That’s also why I let her leave."
Watanabe Kazuo’s face changed dramatically, he stared intensely at the hard drive in i Xiang’s hand, sweat beads appearing on his forehead.
He feigned calmness, pretending it was nothing, "A video? What video? What could there be in your father’s study that shouldn’t be seen?"
"This is sothing that shouldn’t be seen, so I plan to hand it over to Deputy Chief Kitagawa," i Xiang continued,
"Watanabe, you killed soone, you are responsible for my father’s death. This is the solid evidence!"
Watanabe’s pupils dilated, his lips trembling, unable to utter a single word.
His pretended calmness completely collapsed, revealing a look of terror and despair in his eyes.
He knew that everything he had carefully planned was over.
i Xiang observed the subtle changes in Watanabe’s expression, feeling even more certain.
"This hard drive clearly recorded you entering the study, having an altercation with my father, and your entire departure process."
"Although it didn’t directly capture the act of murder, it’s enough to prove you were the last person to see my father."
"Watanabe, greed might put you in jail, but murder will cost you your life!"
Watanabe’s breathing beca rapid, his fists clenched tightly.
After a long silence, he asked in a hoarse voice, "What... what exactly did she tell you?"
"She spilled everything about how you’ve been deceiving my father over the years, how you embezzled funds, how you sched your way to control Xingye Products, and of course, how you... how you..."
i Xiang purposely paused, observing Watanabe’s reaction.
"How what? What did she say?"
"Cyanide." i Xiang finally said, "You had her poison my father."
Half-truth questions started to make Watanabe doubt whether i Xiang truly knew sothing.
"That bitch!" Watanabe cursed.
"So, I just want to know, exactly how did you co to my house that evening."
i Xiang took a deep breath, "And then how did you leave after you killed my father?"
Faced with i Xiang’s questions, Watanabe’s face turned even paler, and he dared not look directly into i Xiang’s eyes.
"That night I was clearly at ho, how did you get in?" i Xiang pressed.
"Speak!"
Watanabe’s body trembled slightly, finally he lowered his head, "I know where the key to your backyard is."
"How could you..."
i Xiang didn’t finish her sentence, but she quickly understood.
What Reina had comforted wasn’t as simple as eating, watching movies, or sending comforting ssages.
He lifted his head again, "Osuke didn’t understand won at all, he only saw your stepmother as a tool, as his pawn!"
i Xiang closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and suppressed her surging emotions.
"No need to say more."
i Xiang opened her eyes, stood up.
"Watanabe, just wait for the verdict."
Leaving the interrogation room, the tears she had been holding back finally fell from her weary face.
The truth i Xiang desperately sought had always been traceable.
She recalled what Minister Ito had asked her to do, she didn’t know if sending Reina away was right or wrong.
After all, if it wasn’t for her, Watanabe wouldn’t have entered her house, and her father wouldn’t have t with trouble.
But she couldn’t bring herself to truly handle her.
"President Xingye." Kitagawa approached at this mont.
i Xiang wiped her tears and handed the hard drive to him, "Deputy Chief, this contains the real accounts of the Brazilian Mine."
Kitagawa nodded, "Alright, I’ll have my team verify it."
"Thank you." i Xiang paused, "Also, about my father’s death..."
"I heard everything just now."
Kitagawa took the hard drive, "We will begin an investigation, and he will receive the appropriate verdict."
He paused for a mont, lowering his voice, "Miss i Xiang, I will conduct the investigation according to Minister Ito’s instructions."
i Xiang felt a chill.
Indeed, she still had to face the wolf she invited in.
...
...
"Brother Cheng, I want to sell all of Xingye’s assets in Japan."
That evening, inside i Xiang’s apartnt in Tokyo.
She leaned on Chen Cheng’s shoulder and said, "The company, the property, and everything related to Xingye."
Chen Cheng massaged her hand as she continued, "I neither want to nor dare to stay here anymore, this place..."
