My Youth Began With Him

However, Mo Xue’er immediately said, “I don’t have to think about it, I won’t do it.”

“Don’t you care about your brother’s future? You’d really rather provide a fake alibi for Huo Siqian?” Huo Mian asked with surprise.

“Haha… I think you’ve mistaken me… I have no idea what you mean by ‘fake alibi’. When Song Yishi died, I was with Huo Siqian the entire night. That’s the truth, I didn’t lie about anything. I would feel guilty if I slandered Huo Siqian just to save my brother.”

“Mo Xue’er, do you really love him that much?” Huo Mian looked at her with disappointment, and she replied, “This has nothing to do with love, it’s the truth… he was with me the night of the murder.”

“Mo Xue’er… I can’t believe you would protect that devil. One day, you’ll end up like Song Yishi.” Huo Mian gave Mo Xue’er one last warning, but the latter only smiled. “Thank you for your reminder, but I won’t… I’m not as stupid as Song Yishi.”

“Great. If that’s the case, then goodbye.” Huo Mian picked up the documents and left.

Before she came, Huo Mian thought even if Mo Xue’er didn’t agree to go to the police station with her, she would at least struggle or accidentally reveal information out of love for her brother.

However, she didn’t say anything that she wasn’t supposed to. No matter what Huo Mian said, she still refused to admit that her alibi was fake and insisted that she was with Huo Siqian that night.

A woman this stubborn was surely beyond help.

After getting on a cab, Huo Mian put on her headphones and listened to the recording of their conversation just now. There weren’t any loopholes at all, it seemed like the recorder and documents were prepared in vain.

It was already dark outside when she arrived back at Sky Blessing Court. Huo Mian sat down in the empty living room and brainstormed ways she could save Qin Chu.

Just then, her phone rang; it was a video call.

“Sis…”

“Zhixin.”

“Sis… why didn’t you tell me something as big as this happened at home? You even tricked Mom into coming to New Zealand. If she knew how to read English, she’ll probably go crazy.”

“I…”

“Sis… are you alright? How’s my brother-in-law? I saw on Global Times that he committed murder, did he really?”

“No, he didn’t kill anyone. He was framed.”

“How did this happen?!” Jing Zhixin exclaimed nervously.

“It’s… complicated, I can’t explain it to you over the phone.”

“Sis… let me come back and help you.”

“Don’t, Zhixin, you can’t help me. If you come back, I’ll have one more weakness…”

What Huo Mian said silenced Zhixin; he could feel the helplessness and despair in his sister’s voice.

“Sis… I’m sorry for making you carry so much pressure on your shoulders for all these years,” he said, filled with guilt.

“Don’t say that, I’m your big sister. It’s normal for me to protect you. Zhixin… take care of Mom. Once this passes, Qin Chu and I will go to New Zealand to visit you guys.”

“Okay…” Zhixin nodded, “sis…”

“Mhm?”

“You can do it, I believe in you.”

“Mhm.”

Truth be told, Huo Mian was happy to hear Zhixin’s voice at a time like this.

After hanging up the video call, Huo Mian pulled herself back to reality; if Mo Xue’er refused to admit that her alibi was fake, she would have to look for a breakthrough elsewhere.

How else could she prove that Qin Chu didn’t kill Song Yishi?

After Qin Chu’s incident, everyone bustled around to help clear his name, except one calm individual…

Rick stood up from his desk on the top floor of Seductive Fox and put on black leather gloves.

“Sir, do you really need to go yourself?” His guard asked worriedly.

“If I go, the chances of success will be higher,” Rick said as he turned around and headed out the door.
