Chapter 823: The Truth in the Recorder

fully, "Mr. Mo, the president just asked me to confirm your schedule for tomorrow afternoon with you. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me.""What"All the Mo Yao people were dumbfounde...Zhao Zhong, after being caught by Li Bochen, knew that things wouldn't end well. But when he looked up at the people present, especially Old Master Li and Li Jiancheng, a glimmer of hope still flickered in his heart.

"Yes, I'm the chauffeur for the second mistress."

“According to the kidnappers' testimony, it was Jian Ningyi who instigated them to kidnap and murder me and Yu Chengnan. What do you have to say”

“I…” Zhao Zhong hesitated, just uttering a word before being interrupted again by Luo Ningxi, “Think it through before you speak. Right now, some people want to abandon Jian Ningyi and need a scapegoat. The only one who can protect you is me!”

“Luo Ningxi, don’t sow discord! I’ve always been clean. Zhao Zhong, rest assured and tell us, what is the truth behind the kidnapping case” Jian Ningyi saw through Luo Ningxi’s veiled threat and stepped forward with a hint of defiance, her gaze lingering meaningfully on Zhao Zhong. “With people from the Li family present, if you don’t speak the truth, not only will you be in danger, but I fear your family won’t escape either.”

Luo Ningxi chuckled and interrupted Jian Ningyi, "Some people are cornered and desperate, trying to threaten Zhao Zhong with his family!"

Zhao Zhong's face was also gloomy, the kidnapping case being brought to light meant his end would be terrible.

But he couldn't implicate his family; they were innocent.

Just when Zhao Zhong was about to grit his teeth and bear it, a bone-chilling voice suddenly cut in, "Your family is in my hands. I only want the truth. Until the truth is clear, no one can touch them!"

"What" Jian Ningyi was taken aback, the smile on her face cracking.

Li Boche didn't even glance at Jian Ningyi, his gaze fixed coldly on Zhao Zhong. "My patience is limited. Was there anyone behind this kidnapping"

"My...my family is really in your hands" Zhao Zhong tentatively probed, he was most afraid that his family would be implicated innocently.

"You may not believe it either."

“I told you! I said so all along!!” With things at this point, there was no danger to his family. Zhao Zhong went all out, pointing at Jian Ningyi beside him, “It’s the Second Mistress, everything is according to the Second Mistress’ orders! She told me to contact the kidnappers and kill Miss Luo, and she said if I didn’t do as she said, I would disappear from the capital…”

“I didn't!” Jian Ningyi paled and protested, “Dad, you heard it, the fourth said Zhao Zhong’s family is in his hands, and he’s with Luo Ningxi, of course, he wants any kind of testimony! I’m innocent……”

"Zhao Zhong! My wife raised you for so many years, and you dare to betray her!" Li Jiancheng was furious, flew forward and kicked Zhao Zhong in the heart.

Zhao Zhong was sprawled on the ground, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. “Second Young Master, I just want to live! Besides, I have no grievances with Miss Luo, why go to such lengths to harm her!”

Zhao Zhong's face turned pale as he vehemently retorted, "Furthermore, those kidnappers are professional assassins who command a hefty price. I'm just a driver; I don't have that kind of money to hire them!"

"Jian Ningyi, seek the hammer if you must, what else do you have to say now" Luo Ningxi glared intently at Jian Ningyi, questioned.

Things took another turn. Jian Ningyi grabbed Li Jiancheng's hand and pleaded, "Husband, I didn't, I really didn't. This is all Lu Ningxi's scheme…"

"A conspiracy Then what about this!"

Li Bochen didn't know when he suddenly took out a voice recorder, a cold smile on his lips, and stared at Jian Ningyi leisurely.

Although I don't know what evidence is in the recording pen, it must be crucial evidence for Li Bichen to take it out at this time!

Lu Ningxi's eyes sparkled, but Old Master Li's face sank again, his eyes filled with a fierceness he had never shown before. "Fourth son, remember your own identity! Do you really want to go against me, your father, for Lu Ningxi"

The Li family has dominated the imperial capital for many years, and they absolutely cannot afford another scandal that rocks the city like the one six years ago.

Nowadays, people are idle and treat gossip about wealthy families as after-dinner conversation.

Old Master Li had a premonition that if this matter escalated today, the Li family would become the laughingstock of high society for a long time.

"Old man, what's got you so worked up You were adamant that Jian Ning was innocent, perhaps this recording doesn't prove anything at all!" Luo Ningxi scoffed.

Yu Chengnan also seemed to smile but not smile, "Miss Jian was so sure that she was being slandered by the kidnappers, I suppose these recordings aren't anything earth-shattering. It wouldn't hurt to have a listen, would it"

"Shut up—" Jian Ningyi glared fiercely at Yu Ran, "Sister-in-law, control your nephew!"

Yu Ran, mindful of Elder Li's presence, didn't want to appear too harsh. But Jian Ningyi pushed her buttons, turning things around and making it seem like Yu Ran was scolding Yu Chengnan. That would be asking for trouble.

She changed the subject and spoke up, "Is my nephew wrong Or are you, sister-in-law, the real culprit, afraid that the recording has evidence against you"

"You—"

Tap.

A barely audible click of a key suddenly rang out, and Li Bochen directly pressed the play button on the recording pen.

The ward was instantly filled with Jian Ningyi's voice, incredibly clear, with a hint of venomous ferocity.t sank with the weight of his dashed expectations.As expected...He's still too optimistic.If Jian Ning is pregnant, how could Luo Ningxi suddenly become pregnantJust when Li Bochen was getting irritab...
