Chapter 182 Witness Testimony

"Wei Ming considers you her best friend"... He couldn't bear it any longer!Many years ago, I thought the same way. Xia Wei Ming was my best friend, and she considered me her best friend." The old man..."Eyewitness"

"Yes, I saw it."

"If there were any eyewitnesses at the time, why wouldn't I know about it"

Jian's innocent words were surprisingly sharp, this matter was too important, she had to get to the bottom of it.

"Sigh," Mrs. Jian let out a breath, then looked at Jian Tong: "This person, you also know her, her family doesn't want her to witness such a dirty thing like rape, and have everyone know about it."

Mrs. Jian's words implied something. Little Jian understood... If this person was someone she knew, and that person's family didn't want this to be known, then there was a high probability...

"Whose young master is this"

She directly asked Mrs. Jian, after all that had happened, it was hard to have the warmth of a mother-daughter relationship like before.

She's not a young master from any family, she's the second miss of the Tang family.

Jian Tong suddenly had an epiphany!

It turns out she's a woman!

That's why there wasn't a single whisper at the beginning. If a precious daughter of a prominent family were to witness such a filthy act like rape, it would be detrimental to her reputation.

This was not an ordinary crime scene, but a brazen assault on a woman by several men!

At the same time she had a sudden realization, it was hard for her to accept: “You’re saying that she witnessed the crime, so this became one of the pieces of evidence used to convict you” She chuckled lightly, “Mrs. Jian, may I ask, what exactly did she see that became one of the pieces of evidence used to convict you”

"Could Miss Tang Er have seen me at the crime scene"

Jian Tong's chest heaved slightly, she desperately tried to remain calm... Jian Tong, Jian Tong, you promised to be rational, you promised not to get emotional, how could you be so ungraceful, how could you become so emotionally unstable again

"Didn't Mr. Shen tell you about this"

A faint smile curved Jian Tong's lips... knowing it all along.

If Shen Xiujin had ever mentioned this matter of Miss Tang Er to her, wouldn't she know about it by now

She looked again at Mrs. Jian in front of her… This woman was her biological mother!

To ask when one already knows, to feign ignorance... what's the point

"Ahem... Mr. Shen really didn't tell you, did he Oh, Mr. Shen is really something else, how could he keep such an important matter from you"

“Of course, how could you all keep such an important matter from me” Jian Tong replied calmly. Mrs. Jian’s face flushed with embarrassment, stammering, “That… we thought Mr. Shen had already told you Who knew it would turn out like this.”

Jian Tong didn't want to keep discussing with Jian Fu whether Shen Xiuqin had told her anything, and why she hadn't. She directly asked: "Since Madam Jian knows about this, could you please tell me what Miss Tang saw at the crime scene How could a single word from Miss Tang become evidence that I committed a crime"

She reminded Mrs. Jian again: "At that time, I wasn't there. What did Miss Tang see that made her think I was the culprit!"

"This...this at the time, Miss Tang Er didn't intend to say it right away. It was only after Xia Wei Ming committed suicide that Miss Tang Er, seeing a dead person, felt it was unfair to the deceased, so she told people what she had witnessed. Miss Tang Er said that she witnessed the crime and heard Xia Wei Ming's heart-wrenching screams with her own ears."

As he spoke, he carefully glanced at Jian Tong.

Xia Wei Ming was pressed down by several men, shouting from her mouth: Jian Tong, it's you! It's you who harmed me! You won't die well!

"Ha...hahahahahaha..." Jian Tong couldn't help but burst into laughter upon hearing it.

Mrs. Jian looked worried: "Xiao Tong, Xiao Tong, what's wrong with you"

Jane reached out and pushed Mrs. Jian away. "I'm fine...don't touch me. Let me laugh for a while."

She pushed away Mrs. Jian's outstretched hand, laughing so hard that she was clutching her stomach and tears were streaming down her face: "HAHAHAHA... HAHAHA..."

"Child... child... don't laugh, don't laugh..." Madam Jian was flustered by her child's laughter, constantly persuading Jian Tong not to laugh, but the latter ignored her pleas and laughed even louder. Madam Jian felt increasingly agitated by the laughter, a flicker of impatience flashed in her eyes. Unable to bear it any longer, she shouted:

"I told you to stop laughing! Can't you hear me!"

As soon as the words were spoken, suddenly, the laughter ceased.

Mrs. Jian covered her mouth and met Jian Tong's gaze, her eyes darting back and forth. "It's not... it's not... Little Tong, Mama was just too worried about you."

Jian Tong remained silent, gazing steadily at Madam Jian.

And those eyes, they weren't piercing, but they gave Mrs. Jian a sense of being dissected.

"Little child…" Madam Jian's face turned pale and then red.

Jian Tong stood up straight, and as Wang Guanjia was about to step forward, she waved her hand at him. "It's alright. It's been a long time since I've seen Madam Jian. Madam Jian just told me a joke."

Wang Guanjia nodded silently and retreated back to a safe distance.

Jian Tong then shifted her gaze back to Madam Jian, a slight smirk playing on her lips: "You telling me this only proves one thing more — I, Jian Tong, am a truly wicked and unforgivable murderer."

"No! I believe you, little one. Your father and I both believe you are innocent. Back then, we only lacked evidence, and your father and I were afraid of Mr. Shen's power, so we didn't dare to stand up and openly confront him."

But now Mr. Shen is so good to you, and you've become Mrs. Shen. And those hooligans who caused trouble back then have reappeared in City S. As long as we find those hooligans, we can definitely find out the truth and clear your name.

"Little Tong really wants to keep laughing... What did Mrs. Jian say That they all believe Little Tong is innocent Just that there was no evidence at the time"

She shook her head, thinking that even laughter wouldn't be able to dispel the anger and disappointment she felt at this moment.

"Mrs. Jian, the wind is strong here, I'm sleepy."

As she spoke, the person turned and prepared to leave.

Mrs. Jian panicked and grabbed her daughter, Jian Tong's, arm: "Wait a minute, Little Tong!"

Jian Tong was caught off guard by Mrs. Jian's grasp. He turned his head to look, though he didn't speak, his eyes clearly conveyed "Is there something else"

Mrs. Jian held onto Jian Tong's hand tightly, her gaze softened, and she pleaded guiltily: "Little Tong, this time we really wanted to help you. Both your father and I are very remorseful."

I couldn't help you back then, and you went through so much suffering.

You were originally the jewel of a wealthy family, the beloved daughter of the Jian family, yet you were bullied in such a place.

Your dad's face was lost. After what happened to you, he almost became the laughingstock of all Shanghai. That's why, after your accident, your father... treated you that way.

It's just that your father feels guilty in his heart, and he always wants to make amends for you.

This time, heaven pitied his love for his daughter and finally placed the opportunity before him.

"Child, just...just trust us once."

Mrs. Jian's eyes were wet, and she held onto Jian Tong's hand tightly, unwilling to let go, afraid that if she did, the person would run away.

Jian Tong looked at Madam Jian for a while, but her eyes did not well up with tears.

She didn't believe this couple would feel guilty for her, or have any empathy. Even the sweetest words, after three years of living like death, worse than a dog, seemed superficial and laughable.

But, if there’s a chance to uncover the truth from back then, to let the facts come to light, to shed that damn accusation, to give her justice!

I closed my eyes and said, "Madam Jian, how do you plan to help me"

On either side, she had nothing left to lose!

Nothing left to lose...ckle of moisture overflowing from the tightly shut corners of her eyes... Was she afraid, after allThe people behind, everything was in his sight. Black eyes, deep as a pool, this look, like it entere...
