Chapter 268: Chapter 268: I admit it!_1

It was like a bolt from the blue, Shangguan Yunqi was suddenly dumbfounded.

Her mind was in turmoil again, even experiencing a moment of blankness.

Song Yunuan merely paused for a moment before continuing under the shocked gazes of everyone, "Granny Shangguan loved this diary the most. She wrote about many things in there that she couldn’t tell others, as well as her opinions.

That includes how she sold my uncle to Xiangjiang, receiving ten gold bars. Of course, in her diary, she referred to the gold bars as ’little yellow fish’, saying she received ten ’little yellow fish’, and even instructed Shangguan Heng that if Xia Xindong was useless, to kill and throw him into the sea."

It wasn’t just these—the diary also contained her arrangements on how to deal with Lui Cheng and Yan Fu.

Logically, such secrets shouldn’t be written in a diary, but that diary was her favorite, a gift from a friend. Unfortunately, her friend went overseas by ship many years ago.

She probably felt that by writing in it, it was like talking to that best friend of hers.

Many people might find it unrealistic. Aren’t secrets supposed to rot in the stomach?

This might be related to her personality. Perhaps Granny Shangguan had a desire to share, or perhaps she had too many secrets and needed to release the pressure.

In any case, all the evidence was within that diary.

But this was also very dangerous. If her husband and children saw it, it was always hard to explain.

So, Granny Shangguan was ready to burn the diary. Unexpectedly, a real rat—no, not a thief—a big rat dragged the diary hidden in a crevice away.

Granny Shangguan searched for it for a long time but couldn’t find it, eventually giving up and ceasing to look for it."

At this moment, Shangguan Yunqi had forgotten how to breathe.

She felt as if the sky had collapsed.

Looking at Song Yunuan now, fear rose from the depths of her heart. How could she know this, how could she possibly know?

Was she a rat that had turned into a spirit?

Song Yunuan didn’t know that Shangguan Yunqi had imagined her as a big rat, or even as a sentient one.

She continued, "Ladies and gentlemen, the diary is under the floor behind the wardrobe in Granny Shangguan’s bedroom. You can send someone to look for it. If this isn’t considered evidence, then I have nothing more to say."

Before Team Leader De could react, Old Mr. Ji said, "Since this is evidence, Old Lew, go make a phone call right away."

Xia Bowen’s face turned ashen, feeling as if all the strength had been drained from his body.

He did not know about the diary, but by looking at Shangguan Yunqi’s expression, he knew what Little Nuan said was true.

As for how Little Nuan knew, that was no longer important. The important thing was the diary.

What sort of person Shangguan Yunqi was, he knew best.

Things are much better now, but when she was young, she couldn’t make sense of a lot of things and naturally swore in private.

Swearing was one thing.

But what if it was written in the diary?

Old Lew, a veteran in many battles, had never seen such a scene before. Without thinking too much, he stood up to leave.

Shangguan Yunqi, shaking with cold sweat down her back, shouted in horror, "Don’t make the call. That’s my private diary. You have no right to look at it without a search warrant."

Old Lew stopped in his tracks.

His piercing gaze turned toward Shangguan Yunqi.

Shangguan Yunqi resignedly said, "Let’s find a private place. Everything Song Yunuan said just now is true. I admit it!!!"

The conference room erupted in a commotion, only to suddenly fall silent.

It was as if they could all hear each other’s heartbeats.

Shangguan Yunqi, dejected, left the large conference room with Police Officer Lew and two others.

Xia Liying was overwhelmed with shame, anger, and embarrassment, her tears falling down in torrents.

Xia Zhi’s mind was blank with numbness.

Gu Huai’an sat there composed, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned.

Chu Zizhou was shocked.

Only the Xia family did not seem surprised, including Little Asheng.

Song Yunuan smiled at Team Leader De, "Uncle De, the meeting can begin now."

Team Leader De, always so calm and composed...

Where am I, who am I?

After a few breaths, he finally came to his senses, coughing several times before he managed to say with difficulty, "That... that..."

That what?

All eyes turned to Team Leader De.

It wasn’t supposed to be like this.

But actually, why does it feel so damn satisfying like this?

Yet no one showed such a smile.

Old Mr. Gong said urgently, "The first part is over, let’s move on to the second."

Xia Bowen immediately stood up and said, "I’ll leave first, call me if you need me."

He seemed calm and composed, but his steps were actually heavy.

His heart had sunk to the bottom, and from then on, he had no right to sit in meetings with these people anymore.

This realization made Xia Bowen feel that life was no longer worth living.

Xia Zhi and the others also stood up to leave shortly after.

Kou County didn’t leave; he was the leader here. Xia Xindong from Erdao River Village had to stay as well.

Then there were Old Mr. Hu and Old Mr. Lin.

They were on Song Yunuan’s side, naturally they had to be on the same front.

Qian Fen frowned as she inquired about Shangguan Yunqi’s whereabouts, but she had a bad feeling about it.

As Xia Bowen and his group reached the door, Song Yunuan suddenly called out, "Old Master Xia, please wait."

Xia Bowen paused in his steps, turning back to look at Song Yunuan who had stood up.

Song Yunuan also walked over quickly, asking with a smile, "Do you have something else to do? If not, you need to participate in the meeting until it’s over."

Xia Bowen stood frozen in place.

Song Yunuan continued, "You were the first to report on this, so you must be involved throughout. We must stick to principles here."

Then she turned her head to look at De Ming, "Isn’t that right, Uncle De?"

De Ming: ...

Playing both the good guy and the bad guy, you’re quite something.

He hastened to nod, "That’s right, that’s right." Then he laughed, "Chairman Xia, this matter should start from you after all."

Xia Bowen knew that Little Nuan was blatantly sowing discord, yet he had to go along with it.

Otherwise, he would truly be standing against everyone.

It’s normal to have differences in opinion, but on the matter of Xia Xindong, if he stood opposed to everyone else, then his life would have been lived in vain.

Xia Bowen didn’t decline nor show any embarrassment.

Even though he felt tumultuous inside, he maintained a calm and detached demeanor on the surface.

He returned to his seat.

Not just him, in fact, many people were anxious to finalize the medical formula.

This time, Song Yunuan sat obediently in her chair, listening intently to her uncle discuss the medical formula.

The conference room once again fell into dead silence.

Only Xia Xindong’s voice echoed through the room.

No one cared anymore about what those who left were doing.

Including Xia Zhi and Xia Liying, who were lowering their heads without speaking.

They were at the doorway of a room where Shangguan Yunqi, who was dealing with Xia Xindong’s situation, was inside.

Xia Zhi’s complexion wasn’t good.

It was like being cut with a dull knife, couldn’t it just be quick and painless?

Moreover, how did Song Yunuan come to know about these things?

Even he and his sister didn’t know, not even their father was clear, so why did Song Yunuan understand everything so clearly?

But there’s no denying that with the evidence laid out, there was a possibility of facing jail time.

The discussion about the medical formula in the conference room was going smoothly. Xia Xindong said, "There’s no need for repeated experiments, I have data to support it."

Old Mr. Gong’s eyes reddened, "Xindong, when can we start production?"

Xia Xindong replied, "Once the raw materials are ready, production can begin immediately."

Everyone’s eyes lit up, and they immediately began to discuss the specifics.

Xia Xindong was naturally donating without any charge.

But he had a few demands.

De Ming immediately told him to state them, not afraid of his demands but rather worried if he didn’t make any, it would be harder to handle.
