Qiao Xiang froze and looked at Pei Liyan with a pale face, water vapor lingering in his clear water eyes.
Her teeth sunk into her lips, and her sad expression was so fragile and pitiful. Before she could speak, tears had already fallen miserably.
"President, I know that I am to blame for this matter. No matter what I say, you don't believe me. I also know that Helan has been implicated and you are all so worried, but I really did not collude with them.
You want me to confess everything. Why did I call Qiao Rui? It’s not because I’m afraid of hurting you and being misunderstood by you, thinking that I still have some evil thoughts about you..."
Qiao Xiang's next words turned into sad sobs.
She lowered her head sadly, biting her lip, her expression extremely sad. Her half-lowered face was at the right angle for Pei Liyan and He Zheng to see that this face, this expression, was so weak.
He Zheng was startled, looking at Qiao Xiang who was crying uncontrollably, and seeing her trembling and thin shoulders shaking. He was also shocked. When did Qiao Xiang become so weak?
Pei Liyan was also startled. Seeing her helpless, miserable cry, as pitiful as if she had been abandoned, and the words she said, his face sank.
Both men were silent, their eyes focused sharply on Qiao Xiang.
No one spoke.
Pei Liyan glanced at He Zheng calmly.
He Zheng was also a little helpless and didn't want to believe that Qiao Xiang participated in planning the kidnapping and took his sister with him, putting her in danger.
However, Qiao Xiang's explanations seemed so pale.
Feeling that neither of the two men spoke, and the atmosphere of silence spread, Qiao Xiang felt very anxious.
She shed more tears, but at this moment she raised her head and looked at He Zheng.
That sad look made He Zheng stunned again.
Tears blurred her eyes, which made her look even more pitiful.
"Azheng, don't you believe me too?"
He Zheng stared at her, a little helpless: "Xiangxiang, I really want to believe you, but the reasons you gave are too far-fetched. This is not a reason not to call the police."
Qiao Xiang was also stunned. He wiped his tears and looked at Pei Liyan. "You don't believe it either, do you?"
"Ah Zheng is right." Pei Liyan said solemnly: "The reason you gave is too far-fetched. On the contrary, it makes people think that you are afraid of calling the police because you are afraid that you will not be able to get rid of suspicion."
"I didn't." Qiao Xiang shouted miserably: "Pei Liyan, we grew up together. Am I so unbearable in your heart?"
"This has risen to the level of a criminal offense. It cannot be solved by my trust or distrust." Pei Liyan said solemnly: "I have given you the opportunity to confess everything!"
"But I told you that you don't believe me!" Qiao Xiang shouted, his heart aching from being choked: "What on earth do you need from me to make you believe me?"
"A defensible reason!"
"Ha!" Qiao Xiang smiled bitterly and wiped away her tears again. In her tears, she saw the man's handsome and cold face, and she suddenly covered her chest.
He Zheng frowned slightly.
Pei Liyan didn't say anything, but his eyes became sharper and fell on Qiao Xiang, with a strong sense of oppression.
"Then you call the police." Qiao Xiang suddenly said: "I originally thought that begging you could save me from ruin, but you refused and insisted on seeing me embarrassed and completely losing my self-esteem.
I thought you had already lost all my face when you saw those photos, but I didn’t expect that these were not enough, and the consequences would be further expanded. I can’t do anything about it, so it’s up to you!”
She said this suddenly, feeling like she was risking her life to survive.
He Zheng raised his eyebrows slightly, glanced at Pei Liyan, and asked him what to do with his eyes.
Pei Liyan nodded and said, "Yes, call the police."
Qiao Xiang's whole body froze, and the shoulders he was trying to support suddenly collapsed.
Call the police, he is so cruel.
It's all Qiao Rui, she is guiding them, insisting that they call the police, damn village girl, she must make Qiao Rui look good.
But now, everything is over.
She has long lost any weight in Pei Liyan's eyes.
Even He Zheng didn't believe her anymore.
Thinking of this, Qiao Xiang was completely powerless.
She suddenly stood up, her face no longer filled with sadness or even any emotion.
She walked outside.
"Qiao Xiang!" He Zheng called her.
But she didn't answer, didn't even look back, and walked out.
He Zheng stopped talking and glanced at Pei Liyan again. After Qiao Xiang left, he asked: "You don't believe what she said either, right?"
"The reasons she gave are not enough to support it." Pei Liyan said, "Leave it to the police."
Outside the private room, Qiao Xiang heard Pei Liyan's emotionless voice. She closed her eyes, clenched her hands at her sides, and dug her nails into her palms, almost drawing blood.
At this time, in the box next door, Qiao Rui was eating. During the break, she opened her phone, swiped it a few times, and put it down again.
After a while, a message came from Helan's cell phone. She was eating, and when she was about to pick it up and read it, she saw Qiao Xiang pushing the door open and coming in.
Helan didn't have time to look at her phone, so she looked at Qiao Xiang.
She came in by herself, and Pei Liyan and He Zheng were not followed behind her.
He Lan glanced at the expressionless Qiao Xiang and asked, "Have you convinced Brother Pei and my brother not to call the police?"
Qiao Xiang glanced at her and smiled wryly, "No!"
He Lan was stunned and looked at her. "You haven't convinced me yet. It seems that talking to them alone will have no effect."
Qiao Xiang looked at Helan but said nothing.
Her attitude and eyes made her so angry that her heart ached.
She turned her head and glanced at Qiao Rui. Seeing that she was still eating, looking like she was enjoying the food, her heart ached even more.
"Qiao Rui, thanks to you, I will lose face in the future."
Qiao Rui glanced at her, but before she could speak, Helan retorted: "What does this matter have to do with Qiao Rui?"
"She advocated calling the police. Doesn't it have anything to do with her?" Qiao Xiang was holding a fire in his heart.
"Sister Xiang, I don't like hearing what you say. It's normal for Qiao Rui to advocate calling the police. I also want to call the police. When this kind of thing happens, which normal person would not call the police?"
Qiao Rui suddenly realized that what Helan said made sense.
Si Ran and Fang Mo also nodded.
Lu Heming glanced at her and said, "Miss Qiao, what Miss He said is indeed reasonable. Most people will call the police."
"I don't understand why you don't want to call the police so much?" Helan asked again.
Qiao Xiang had a stern look on his face and glared at Qiao Rui.
Qiao Rui said: "Sister, it's not my fault that you failed to convince Pei Liyan and He Zheng. There is no need for you to take your anger out on me. It's not me who kidnapped you, and it's not my friend who temporarily switched sides."
Qiao Xiang's eyelids suddenly twitched.
Suddenly I felt that Qiao Rui's words were too sharp, as if he knew the inside story.
After Qiao Rui finished speaking, he added: "To vent your anger for no reason without sufficient evidence and reasons is untenable."
Qiao Xiang was immediately speechless by Qiao Rui's words.
At this time, Helan turned on her phone and found a surveillance video.
The people inside happened to be Qiao Xiang and Gao Yan, Xu Nuo had three children. The three of them were talking and laughing happily, and seemed to be in harmony.
She exclaimed: "Sister Xiang, you really colluded with them!"
