Chapter 1305: Not Because of a Guilty Conscience

Chapter 1305: Chapter 1305: Not Because of a Guilty Conscience

Now Zhao Guqing’s intense reaction can be interpreted as agitation after being wrongfully accused.

But it can also be understood as a fierce reaction from a guilty conscience.

Zhao Gushen looked into Zhao Guqing’s eyes and reminded him, "Have you forgotten what my ability is?"

Zhao Guqing: "..."

He was already agitated and struggling to control himself, and it happened to be that Zhao Gushen was staring directly into his eyes.

It only took one look for Zhao Gushen to see through him.

Zhao Guqing instinctively hurriedly avoided Zhao Gushen’s eyes.

Zhao Gushen sneered, "Not guilty, so why avoid my gaze, afraid to let me see?"

Zhao Guqing’s actions paused, and he immediately regretted it.

He was just too flustered, so it was merely a reflexive reaction.

Now with Zhao Gushen’s words, Zhao Guqing realized that he had made a mistake.

"I just don’t want to be seen through by you. No one wishes to be completely transparent, with no privacy, in front of another person!" Zhao Guqing said, "You’d better not use this method to blur the focus, and misrepresent the facts."

"I avoided your gaze because I don’t like you probing into my privacy, not because of guilt!" Zhao Guqing said loudly.

"Moreover, even if you say you read my thoughts, how can you prove it? You can say anything to smear me," Zhao Guqing said, "Besides, no one but you knows whether what you say is true or false."

"You got it wrong," Zhao Gushen said calmly, "I wasn’t planning to use this ability to resolve this issue."

Zhao Guqing was surprised.

If Zhao Gushen says this, what’s his plan to resolve it?

Then, Zhao Gushen played an audio recording.

Upon hearing the woman’s voice, Zhao Guqing felt it was familiar.

Initially, it only said one sentence, too quick, plus the voice had some differences from the real person due to the machine.

That’s why Zhao Guqing didn’t recognize it immediately.

But by the third sentence, Zhao Guqing recognized it.

It’s Ye Ning!

Upon realizing it was Ye Ning, Zhao Guqing sensed something was wrong.

A bad premonition arose in his heart.

And the more he listened, the more off it felt.

He faintly felt the words in the recording were very familiar, like he had heard them somewhere before.

Until his voice also appeared in the recording.

Zhao Guqing finally remembered where he had heard them.

This is clearly the conversation where he and Ye Ning planned to block Ye Fei on the road.

Unexpectedly, Ye Ning recorded it!

Zhao Guqing never thought he would make such a low-level mistake, letting Ye Ning record their conversation.

This was indeed his oversight.

Because he always looked down on Ye Ning, he never valued her from the bottom of his heart, so he lacked even the basic caution toward Ye Ning.

But he didn’t expect that because of this, he was betrayed by the person he looked down on the most.

Zhao Guqing was also shocked.

Since Ye Ning had this evidence, when he pushed all the responsibility onto Ye Ning to handle herself, why didn’t Ye Ning use it to threaten him?

That’s right, even if Ye Ning used it, it would be useless.

If she dared to take it out to threaten him then.

She would’ve been dealt with by him before this evidence got out.

So Ye Ning didn’t dare to speak out.

Zhao Guqing understood, Ye Ning was holding onto this maliciously.

Saving this evidence, waiting for the right moment to strike him.

But he didn’t expect Ye Ning would give this to Zhao Gushen.

Zhao Guqing just couldn’t figure it out.

Ye Ning clearly couldn’t stand Ye Fei being well, so why would she help her?

One must know, Zhao Gushen and Ye Fei are united.

Helping Zhao Gushen is equal to helping Ye Fei.

Blocking Ye Fei on the road was done by Ye Ning.

Why would she suddenly want to help Zhao Gushen now?

Could she think that by giving the evidence to Zhao Gushen, Zhao Gushen could save her?

Zhao Guqing never imagined that this was all Zhao Gushen forcefully obtained.

Now Zhao Guqing doesn’t have time to think about all this.

Just the words in the recording are already enough to convict him.

Whatever is said afterward, Zhao Guqing could no longer pay attention to.

He just felt finished, his head buzzing, the words in the recording, he couldn’t hear a thing.

Zhao Dingye now fully realizes that he’s being dragged down by his own son.

Previously, no matter how he fought within the family, the old man never said he wanted to remove him.

The greatest taboo in this family is harming family members.

You can be discontent, you can seize power and positions with your abilities.

As long as you have the capability, you can compete for it with real skills.

If you get it snatched away, it means your abilities aren’t up to par.

In work, you can compete with each other.

But there’s one point: you can’t harm each other.

If you harbor malice towards family members, that’s an unforgivable sin.

And Zhao Guqing, made precisely this mistake.
