At this moment, Jian Yiling had just reached He Yan’s house.

She went there by herself.

He Yan was quite surprised to see Jian Yiling at her house.

However, she still put on a smile.

“Yiling, what’s wrong? Shouldn’t you be at the hospital? Why did you leave the hospital? If you were planning to visit me, you should have told me beforehand. Then, I could prepare for your visit.”

“The surveillance video. You hid it.”

Jian Yiling cut straight to the chase.

“Yiling? What are you talking about? Why do I not understand what you’re talking about?” He Yan felt her heart stir up. However, she still attempted to keep her face calm.

“Take a look at your WeChat,” Jian Yiling said.

Just before Jian Yiling stepped into He Yan’s house, she had sent a few files to He Yan’s phone.

Just now, He Yan had been busy with something else. As a result, she hadn’t yet gotten the opportunity to open her phone and check her messages.

When she heard what Jian Yiling said, He Yan suspiciously opened her phone.

She was friends with Jian Yiling on WeChat. At an earlier date, Jian Yiling had added her as a friend.

When He Yan opened her unread message, she saw a picture and two videos. The smile on her face began to fade away.

Jian Yiling had sent a photo of the hotel registry. She had also sent the confession statement of the person in charge of the hotel surveillance. The other video she had sent was of He Yan and Jian Yujie’s argument in the study last night.

“Jian Yiling!”

She took large strides to get to Jian Yiling. Her first reaction was to grab Jian Yiling’s phone.

Jian Yiling calmly took a step back before she told He Yan:

“I’ve made a copy of these photos and videos. Zhai Yunsheng has them. If something happens to me, he will publicize them.”

Jian Yiling’s words threw a big bowl of ice water on He Yan. It made her feel cold from head to toe.

Zhai Yunsheng had a copy of these photos and videos. No matter how capable she was, it was impossible for her to get those things off Zhai Yunsheng.

Furthermore, she had seen the relationship between Jian Yiling and Zhai Yunsheng. It was indeed possible for Jian Yiling to give Zhai Yunsheng such a thing for safekeeping.

Jian Yiling’s one sentence had put a complete stop to all the thoughts that came to He Yan’s mind. She didn’t know what to do anymore.

He Yan stood in the same place for quite some time.

She looked at the young face of her niece. For the first time, she felt terrified of her little niece.

After she came back to her senses, He Yan smiled and softly spoke to Jian Yiling, “Yiling, I believe you have mistaken the situation. It was a pure coincidence that I came by this video. Yiling, you have to trust me. I didn’t mean to hide the video from you. It’s your brother Yunnao. He was afraid that he’d lose everything he had if the video became public. For this reason, he asked me to hide the video. I know I did the wrong thing. I shouldn’t have listened to Yunnao. Yiling, would you forgive me?”

He Yan had no idea where Jian Yiling had gotten her hands on such things.

However, she knew that if Jian Yiling made these things public, her life would be ruined.

She knew that Grandpa Jian would definitely kick her out of the Jian family. Furthermore, it was possible for her to be shunned from the entirety of Hengyuan City.

Jian Yiling looked at her with cold eyes. She was indifferent to He Yan’s pleas and explanations. “Firstly, don’t force Yujie to do anything he doesn’t want to do. Secondly, let him decide his own career. And thirdly, don’t interfere in the affairs of the Jian family again.”

Jian Yiling stated her conditions clearly and succinctly.

He Yan stared at Jian Yiling in shock and fear. She was shocked to hear that those were the conditions that Jian Yiling had stated.

After being startled for quite some time, He Yan asked: “Wait, you mean that as long as I agree to these three conditions, you won’t publicize the video?”

“You have three seconds to answer,” Jian Yiling said, “Three, two…”
