The scene of Qiao Jing's return was so intense that she directly rebuked Qiao Huichen in front of everyone for not being able to distinguish between loyalty and treachery. It was worth noting that Qiao Huichen was one of Hong Kong’s most respected elders, yet Qiao Jing showed no hesitation or consideration towards him, revealing a glimpse of the influential figure from her past.

Being openly refuted in front of so many people left Qiao Huichen somewhat embarrassed. However, Qiao Jing was still his junior and had once been his favorite granddaughter; after careful deliberation over the years, he realized that expelling Qiao Jing from the Qiao family out of anger back then was too hasty. Even if she had made a mistake, there should have been an opportunity for her to rectify it.

"I have never done anything to wrong the Qiao Family."

Back when Qiao Jing said this over ten years ago, with solid evidence against her, Old Master Qiao didn't believe a word of it. But now, after hearing these words again, doubts began to stir in his heart!

The one wavering wasn’t just Qiao Huichen; all the guests present had some knowledge of what happened back then and were sympathetic towards Qiao Jing, whose promising future seemed like shooting stars falling from the heavens. Upon hearing her declaration today, their eyes shone with hope—but if she was innocent, who fabricated the evidence against her And who slandered her

The guests in attendance were all prominent figures friendly to the Qiao Family; no one was foolish enough not to see that whoever benefited most directly from this event would be the prime suspect!

Thus, many eyes turned towards Qiao Chengying. Though he wasn't the primary beneficiary himself, his son—today's absentee, Qiao Shanxing—was.

Furthermore, over these past decades, under Qiao Shanxing's efforts, the foundation of the Qiao Family had become extremely solid and was heading towards unprecedented heights. If there were any hidden truths, would Old Master Qiao really replace Qiao Shanxing in a fit of anger The situation had now reached a point where, even if the truth came to light, it might be too late for changes against the tide!

Bureaucratic obstacles!

"Come with me," Mr. Qiao told Qiao Jing before turning to leave.

Clearly, Qiao Huichen's mind was also filled with doubts! Although he was old, he wasn't senile. He had seen the efforts of a girl who hadn’t given up on clearing her name for over ten years and it shook his previous beliefs. However, this was an internal family matter, and if made public, it would cause great commotion!

Now that Qiao Shanxing's dominance is established, Qiao Huichen could not discuss such issues in a public setting with Qiao Jing. He had to handle the situation privately to maintain peace within the Qiao household.

"Stop right there," Qiao Jing said coldly, "Qiao Huichen, have you started to doubt your own beliefs"

Turning back, Qiao Huichen's face was as cold as ice. He remained silent, unable to respond to his granddaughter’s direct challenge.

"But I insist on stating here that I demand the restoration of my reputation," Qiao Jing declared, shaking her head, "No, I want to reclaim it myself." she stubbornly insisted.

Standing a short distance away, Qiao Chengying's heart was in his mouth. With Qiao Jing’s strong return and possession of many pieces of evidence, although he believed that there were no loopholes left behind by him, he still felt uneasy. Moreover, if Qiao Jing exposed the truth about his involvement in his elder brother's death, it would utterly ruin his reputation and leave him with nowhere to hide!

Thus, Qiao Chengying adjusted his emotions and sternly said, "Qiao Jing, today is your grandfather's birthday banquet. Don't act recklessly in front of all these guests and risk disgracing the Qiao family!"

Joe Chengying's outburst drew everyone’s attention in the hall.

However, at this moment, a very soft yet extremely authoritative voice rang out: "Shut up."

Wang Zheng stood behind Qiao Jing. He quietly stood there; although he wasn’t as dazzling as Qiao Jing, no one dared to underestimate his presence!

When Joe Chengying met Wang Zheng's gaze, he could actually clearly feel the chill conveyed through that look!

Joe Chengying immediately fell silent. At this moment, his body was trembling slightly; going to Europe for reinforcements had ultimately been too late, and he had been found out by the Eastern Demon King first!

The majority of guests around recognized Wang Zheng. This was the young man from the mainland who made waves in Hong Kong just two days ago. On the day of his debut appearance, he intimidated Joe Shanning and subjugated the Three Harmonies Society; they never expected this man to be accompanying Qiao Jing as she entered the Qiao family mansion today!

Qiao Huichen glanced at Wang Zheng and then looked at Qiao Jing, saying, "Fine, tell me what really happened back then."

"If I reveal the truth, I’m afraid you won’t be able to bear it." Qiao Jing gave a mocking smile: "I have to go back sixteen years."

Sixteen years ago! Calculating this time period, everyone present had some vague ideas, while Joe Chengying’s face couldn't help but drastically change!

"On May 1st, sixteen years ago, was the day my dad passed away," Qiao Jing spoke in a light tone without any hint of sorrow: "He had a car accident that day."

Hearing this, Qiao Huichen felt his heart tighten. His most outstanding son met with an unexpected incident at the prime age of his life, which was a pain he could never forget no matter how many years passed; as soon as it was mentioned, it brought him immense sorrow all over again!

"What do you want to say" Qiao Huichen wasn't foolish. He knew that Qiao Jing choosing to bring up this incident at this moment must be laying the groundwork for some sort of purpose.

“On that day, my dad's car collided with a large truck on the winding road in Donghuangshan and rolled down the cliff before exploding; by the time they found it, it was unrecognizable.” Qiao Jing narrated slowly. Even though there was no fluctuation in her voice, Wang Zheng could still sense the sorrow hidden deep within her.

“This incident seems like a mere coincidence to the outside world. I used the word 'seems' because everything is too perfect and flawless. In that car accident, my dad and his driver both perished in the explosion of the car, while the driver of the offending truck also died instantly.”

“Everything on the surface looks like a perfectly normal traffic accident with no suspicious elements at all; however, precisely because everything seems so normal and logical, it aroused my suspicion. Sometimes, things that are too perfect are artificial.”

Things that are too perfect are artificial!

Hearing this, many guests' gazes trembled fiercely! Their hearts raced rapidly as well! Because they were already vaguely aware that they were getting closer and closer to a shocking truth that would shake Hong Kong.Zheng any face. He had been divorced for three months and he had long set his eyes on the newly arrived front desk girl, Xiao Xue. He was eager to show off his department manager's authority in front...
