"Usurping someone else's place?" Li Qiyu didn't understand. Why did Jiang Yongfeng bring up such a story?
The detective deliberately kept her in suspense. "I've put all the information here. I believe a smart young lady like you can see what I've seen. If you can't, it's okay. I can explain it to you." At this point, the detective deliberately paused for a moment, then sent the second message right after: "Of course, additional services come at an extra cost."
"You've already taken 60,000 yuan from me in total!"
"For a capable person like you, miss, this is just a small amount of money. In this day and age, information is the most valuable thing. You're a person who does great things, so you should understand this principle better than I do."
Li Qiyu didn't want to understand such fallacies. She replied harshly with two words: "Greedy merchant." Then she exited the chat interface.
After exiting, she realized something was wrong. She had already paid for that information. It would be a waste not to look at it.
Since she had already been cheated, she might as well take a look at what it was. After all, it was good to know more about Jiang Yongfeng. As the art of war says, know your enemy and know yourself, and you can fight a hundred battles with no danger of defeat.
Li Qiyu clicked on the file.
Jiang Yongfeng's file was much more detailed than the one about Song Yian that she had commissioned the detective to investigate last time.
Li Qiyu originally just wanted to take a casual look to avoid wasting her money. But after just two glances, she couldn't stop.
Who on earth was this Jiang Yongfeng?
This person's resume was truly remarkable.
She was originally a factory girl with a low level of education, and her name wasn't Jiang Yongfeng.
At that time, her name was Zhang Lili.
She became the mistress of the factory director, got pregnant with his son, and successfully took the place of the director's wife after driving her away.
However, this woman seemed to be ill - fated for her husbands. After being the factory director's wife for just a few years, the factory went bankrupt. At this time, the pregnant Jiang Yongfeng somehow got together with the factory accountant. They joined forces to steal the money that the factory director was going to pay to the employees and then fled.
At this time, Zhang Lili married the accountant. She gave birth to a daughter, who took the accountant's surname Liu and was named Liu Chichi.
But after just two years, the accountant was arrested and jailed for stealing the factory's money. On the day after the accountant was jailed, Zhang Lili ran away with her daughter.
The reason she could abandon her son but not her daughter wasn't because she was so kind - hearted. The daughter was her only bargaining chip. If she was caught by the factory director, having the daughter in hand, she could still threaten the director.
She fled all the way to City B. There, she met Jiang Yongfeng. After Jiang Yongfeng died, she took over Jiang Yongfeng's name and started living under it.
And this Jiang Yongfeng had another identity - Li Xiangping's first love.
Li Qiyu immediately understood why the detective had said that Jiang Yongfeng was usurping someone else's place.
This woman was truly formidable.
Li Qiyu couldn't wait to show this information to her father. But after thinking about it, she decided it wouldn't work.
After all, Jiang Yongfeng was now her father's wife. Her father would be more likely to believe Jiang Yongfeng's words. If Jiang Yongfeng simply said the information was fabricated, Li Qiyu wouldn't be able to do anything.
After all, there was no solid evidence.
However, there was still a breakthrough in this matter.
The factory director, Accountant Liu, and... Jiang Yongfeng!
The information didn't mention the whereabouts of these people. Li Qiyu wasn't sure if she should go to the detective again - she felt the detective was a bottomless pit, and no amount of money would be enough.
So, if she was going to find someone, she would choose the most crucial one.
The factory director and Accountant Liu were relatively easy to find. She might be able to find them without the detective, especially Accountant Liu, as his criminal case was on record.
So, she would choose the most difficult one: Jiang Yongfeng!
Although Jiang Yongfeng was dead, she must have had family members and there must be evidence to expose Zhang Lili's lies.
Li Qiyu turned off her phone screen and lay on the bed. Closing her eyes, she remembered the scenes of battles on the battlefield.
Since she had found Li Xiyu's diary, the old stories had been uncovered. Now, what she was going to face was no easier than going to war.
As the saying goes, think about something during the day and dream about it at night.
In Li Qiyu's dream, there were scenes of fighting on the battlefield.
She dreamed of her first time on the battlefield. When she saw the enemy she had stabbed off the horse, she couldn't bear to give the fatal blow. As a result, the enemy took the opportunity to cut off her horse's leg, and she almost lost her life on the battlefield.
If her elder brother hadn't pulled her onto his horse in time and then stabbed the enemy in the heart with a backhand shot, she would have either been killed by the enemy or trampled to death by the chaotic horseshoes.
Her elder brother pulled out his spear and said to her, "Qiyu, either don't come to the battlefield, or don't leave any way out for the enemy. Failing to uproot the weeds is the most dangerous and stupid thing to do."
Li Qiyu woke up from the dream.
It was really interesting to have this dream at this time.
Either don't do it. If you do it, do it until the enemy has no chance to fight back.
This principle applied to the battlefield in the past.
And it also applied to this "battlefield" now.
Li Qiyu didn't mention the matter about Jiang Yongfeng to Song Yian. Firstly, Song Yian was very busy, and she didn't want to trouble him with this.
Secondly, Song Yian's feelings for Jiang Yongfeng were special. Instead of having an outsider speak ill of Jiang Yongfeng and making Song Yian dislike it, it would be better to just show him the truth.
However, even though she didn't go looking for Jiang Yongfeng, Jiang Yongfeng came to her on her own.
Not only Jiang Yongfeng, but also Li Xiangping came.
They knocked on the door early in the morning. Seeing Song Yian having breakfast, Li Xiangping's face broke into a big smile.
Sure enough, coming uninvited worked.
Since he found out that Song Jiaye was actually Song Yian, Li Xiangping had been looking for every opportunity to meet this son - in - law and confirm their relationship. But he didn't expect that after Song Yian became a popular figure that everyone wanted to be on good terms with, he became very difficult to invite. He was either busy or had no time. And his whereabouts were erratic. There were several times when Li Xiangping even went to the Li Corporation in person to look for Song Yian but couldn't find him.
Fortunately, Song Yian still knew to come home.
It was much easier to confirm Li Qiyu's whereabouts, as she almost followed a three - point - one - line routine every day. Li Xiangping sent someone to watch Xiyu Villa. After learning that Song Yian had been staying there for the past few days, he came to Xiyu Villa early in the morning.
Since the guards knew that Li Xiangping was Li Xiyu's father, they didn't dare to stop them, and they were allowed in without any hindrance.
Song Yian knew he wouldn't be able to finish his meal.
He put down his bowl helplessly and got up to greet them.
"Dad, Aunt Jiang."
"Ah, it's really not easy to see my good son - in - law." Li Xiangping joked as he changed into his indoor shoes.
Li Qiyu keenly noticed that exhaustion immediately appeared on Song Yian's face.
