Chapter 596: Chapter 596: I will go to Gu Family for Verification

Qiao Yin was frozen in place by his words!

The phrase ‘Gu Family’ exploded in her mind, causing a buzzing sensation that made it difficult to think!

After a while, she found her voice: “Gu Family? Which Gu Family?!”

“The one ranked third among the four big families! The elder in their family is named Gu Guotai!”

“Was it Gu Guotai who told you to kill my mother?”

“I don’t know! I really don’t know, all I knew was that someone from the Gu Family asked me to do it. I don’t know who specifically, I had contact with them over the phone!”

“How can you be sure it was someone from the Gu Family?”

“Because initially, I didn’t agree to the murder. I was scared of going to jail after! But that person told me he was from the Gu Family, and he had the means to prevent me from going to jail!”

Hong Changgong, with tears streaming down his face, said: “I did multiple checks later on, and he truly was from the Gu Family. However, I still don’t know who he was. After I got thrown into jail, he didn’t care about me at all. He hoped that I would die in jail so the secret would disappear forever. He even bribed the prison guards to beat me, and I was almost beaten to death several times!”

“Was he a man or a woman?”

“I don’t know that either. He used a voice changer, so I couldn’t tell!”

This information shocked Qiao Yin so much that she couldn’t find calm.

Her heart was beating fast, and her mind was racing.

Images of the people from the Gu Family she had met and news about the Gu Family that she had read before surfaced in her mind.

Hong Changgong didn’t seem to be lying. But if he was telling the truth, who in the Gu Family would want her mother dead? Why would anyone want to kill her mother, a doctor?

She clearly remembered the way Gu Guotai looked the first time he saw her.

He looked delighted and expectant. He even mentioned her mother voluntarily, praising her medical skills and expressing regret for losing contact with her, which meant he had to rely on others to attend to his leg.

She thought the person who asked Hong Changgong to kill her mother shouldn’t be Gu Guotai.

Unless his acting had reached an impeccable level.

Gu Chengsong, Gu Guotai’s second son who was with him at the time, didn’t exhibit anything unusual either. His surprise upon seeing her was merely because she bore some resemblance to her mother.

The younger generation of the Gu Family definitely weren’t the culprits. When her mother was the personal doctor of the Gu Family, they were either too young or not even born yet.

“Please, remove the needle from my left hand too!”

Hong Changgong’s pleas had become incredibly humble, all traces of his initial arrogance were gone: “I’ve said all there is to say. Can you let me go? Take revenge on the Gu Family and not me, I was just a hired hand. I’ve paid a heavy price already, I’m begging you, spare me!”

Qiao Yin looked at him for a while, then removed all the needles from his hand.

This man couldn’t die just yet.

She needed to verify his claims at the Gu Family first. If it turns out they weren’t the ones who ordered the hit, she would need to interrogate Hong Changgong again.

Hong Changgong was lying on the ground, spent. His gaze towards Qiao Yin was filled with fear.

The intense pain had finally dissipated. Comparatively, his pain from the wrist crush felt bearable now.

“You, are you letting me go?”

“Of course not. You’re a murderous criminal, and you committed robbery shortly after being released, clearly showing no intention to reform. If I let you go, it would mean endangering society and hurting myself.”

“What else do you want? Haven’t I already told you that I wasn’t the one who wanted to kill your mother? Go take it up with the Gu Family. Are you only picking on the weak because you’re scared of challenging the Gu Family?”

“Provoking me won’t work, and I don’t need your prompting. I will verify your story with the Gu Family.”
