You Are My Unforgettable Love

Chapter 1084: She Remembers (3)

Qiao Lian’s expression darkened at this thought.

She headed out immediately.

Prince had come running behind her. “Ay, Love Chuan, why are you leaving?”

She turned around to stare at him. Then, without a word, she flagged down a cab and asked to be taken back to the Qiao family home.

Shen Liangchuan was still at home.

She had to tell him that she was carrying their child.

Now in the cab, she finally calmed down.

Since she had regained her memory, she had to straighten out the past.

As she contemplated, her cell phone rang.

She looked down and picked up. A voice said, “Ms. Qiao, how are you? It’s me.”

That voice.

It was that person she had hired, the private investigator she had sent to Hainan.

At once, her pupils shrank back as she asked, “Are there any news of the person we’re looking for?”

“Yes, Ms. Qiao. We’ve found him.”

Qiao Lian immediately said, “Then bring him here!”

“Ms. Qiao, this might be tough. He wouldn’t come with us no matter what. And we can’t do anything illegal.”

Qiao Lian cast her gaze down and thought for a while. “Hand the phone over to him.”

“Ok.”

After a moment, a meek voice came from the other end of the line, “Ms.- Ms. Qiao.”

That voice…

Qiao Lian was silent for a short while before speaking. “Uncle Wang.”

He had been the Head of the Finance Department in her father’s company at the time.

She stared at the phone and then said slowly, “What happened at that time—”

“Ms. Qiao, I beg of you, just let bygones be bygones. Please, spare me, ok?”

At those words, Qiao Lian cast her gaze down and continued, “Uncle Wang, you must have been the first person the police went after when trouble came for the Qiao Family enterprise. But at that time you disappeared. If the police knows that you’re in Hainan, what do you think will happen?”

The man started to panic at this remark and said, “Ms. Qiao, I didn’t have a choice! Your parents were forced to die and now, are you like the same people who pushed them to the edge, trying to do the same to me?”

Qiao Lian lowered her gaze and replied, “I’m not trying to force you. I just want a better understanding of what happened back then! It has been so many years since they died, but whenever people talk about them, they still talk about them as profiteers. I cannot allow that. Uncle Wang, I’m sure you don’t want to be a drifter all your life, right?”

The man fell silent at her words.

After a while, he finally spoke, “There’s no way to investigate this matter.”

“How so?”

Uncle Wang sighed and said, “Do you know how the police came to the conclusion that your parents did a sloppy job?”

Qiao Lian shook her head and said, “No, I don’t.”

“It’s because, after the building had collapsed, when they came to seal the finance department, they discovered the account book related to this building project had gone missing. And the actual materials left behind at the construction site were all of inferior quality. This was how they came to the conclusion that the company was skimping on materials and your parents were stuffing their own pockets.”

“Where is the account book?” Qiao Lian probed further.

Uncle Wang sighed and said, “It is with the person who caused your parents’ plight.”

Qiao Lian fell silent.

The person who had caused her parents’ plight. Who could that be?

If they could retrieve the account book, then it would be clear that the materials they had bought at the time were of good quality, and that her parents hadn’t been stuffing their own pockets. The reality was that the materials they had originally bought had been stolen.

Hence, the person responsible for this must have been someone from the material factory.

The material factory… belonged to the Lu Family.

Her pupils shrank immediately. She asked, “Uncle Wang, do you know who?”

“I- I don’t—”

“If you didn’t, why did you disappear at the time?”
