"Believe it or not, I wasn't the mastermind behind Ning Anmiao's kidnapping," she said.
As soon as her voice faded, Jiang Zhou frowned slightly.
At this point, why was his younger sister still so stubborn!
"Jiang Xixi, are you still going to lie?" Jiang Zhou said coldly. "Do you think anyone will believe you anymore? How many times is this!"
Jiang Xixi gritted her teeth. Seeing the brother who had once doted on her treat her so coldly now, her eyes couldn't help but turn red.
"I've already said it! I admit that I called them to kidnap someone, but they already knew about Ning Anmiao and Yin Yiyan before I made the call!"
After she finished speaking, Jiang Zhou's body stiffened slightly, and he suddenly stepped on the brakes.
"What evidence do you have?" Jiang Zhou turned his head, his voice cold. "Now that you've served time in prison and received the punishment you deserved, your defense is meaningless."
"I know it's meaningless," Jiang Xixi controlled her emotions and said word by word. "When I was about to send them Ning Anmiao's photo, the other side said they didn't need it, that they knew who she was."
She gritted her teeth and raised her voice. "If they didn't know her in advance, how could they know what Ning Anmiao looked like!"
Jiang Zhou tightened his face and was silent for two seconds. "Do you have any evidence?"
"Yes!" Jiang Xixi answered immediately. "I have the chat records with the other side on my phone. I can go home and get it for you."
Jiang Zhou nodded, his eyes cold. "Then I'll take you home first."
...
When they got back to the home she shared with Lin Chuluo, Lin Chuluo wasn't at home. He was probably working in the company.
Jiang Zhou sat in the living room, waiting for Jiang Xixi to come down with her phone.
Jiang Xixi went back to the bedroom familiarly, found her phone from the drawer, and then rushed to the living room.
"Look, this is the chat I had with the other side at that time..." Jiang Xixi lowered her head, opened the chat box, and scrolled up a few times.
Suddenly, her words stopped abruptly.
The chat records between her and the other side were blank.
"What exactly do you want me to see?" Jiang Zhou frowned impatiently. "Jiang Xixi, this is the last time I'll believe you."
Jiang Xixi was so anxious that she wanted to cry. She pointed at the blank chat box, her voice flustered. "It was right here, but I don't know why, there's nothing left!"
She was always careless and not meticulous, so she didn't have the habit of deleting chat records. But the content they had chatted about before seemed to have never existed.
Jiang Zhou looked at the crying Jiang Xixi and couldn't help but sigh. "Xixi, you don't have to do this."
"No matter what, the past is over. I'll talk to Mom and Dad and tell them that you've realized your mistake. You're still the daughter of the Jiang family."
"As for the future, since you're already married to Lin Chuluo, you should focus on managing your marriage..."
Hearing Lin Chuluo's name, Jiang Xixi's face turned pale.
Since she was taken away, her phone had never been moved. It had always been in the original drawer.
This was the home she shared with Lin Chuluo, and they didn't have the habit of hiring a nanny, so it was impossible for anyone else to touch this phone.
Obviously, the one who deleted the chat records on her phone was Lin Chuluo!
"Brother!" Jiang Xixi stopped crying and clenched her fists. "I want to see Lin Chuluo. Take me to see him!"
She had to ask clearly. Why did Lin Chuluo delete her chat records!
Jiang Zhou looked up at Jiang Xixi's tearful but still stubborn face and seemed to realize something. His heart sank.
Since the last time Jiang Xixi had an accident, Lin Chuluo had taken 20% of the Jiang family's shares from him under the pretext of helping Jiang Xixi. Since then, Jiang Zhou had thought this person was up to no good.
Now seeing Jiang Xixi's determined face, he became even more aware that something was wrong.
"I'll take you there."
...
In the president's office of the Lin Group, Lin Chuluo and Jiang Xixi stared at each other.
The atmosphere was a bit heavy.
"Xixi, welcome back safely," Lin Chuluo said indifferently. Sitting on the chair, his expression was as gentle as ever. "The company has been a bit busy today, so I couldn't come to pick you up. I'll take you out for dinner tonight to make it up to you."
Jiang Xixi felt a bit sad. Looking at the man she was deeply infatuated with, it was as if there was a lump of cotton in her throat.
She pursed her lips, took a few deep breaths, and finally looked up at Lin Chuluo.
"Lin Chuluo, did you delete the chat records on my phone?" Although it was a question, her tone was full of certainty.
Hearing this question, Lin Chuluo folded his hands that were originally on the table and slightly raised his eyebrows.
He didn't answer immediately. He just said calmly, "Why do you suddenly ask this?"
Jiang Xixi's face changed. She suddenly stood up and raised her voice. "Why did you delete the chat records between me and the kidnapping gang!"
"Those conversations were unfavorable to you. I was afraid they would aggravate your crime, so I deleted them for you," Lin Chuluo answered calmly, as if everything was expected.
This answer seemed reasonable, but Jiang Xixi felt something was wrong.
Anyone who saw the content of the conversation could tell that the other side had long had intentions for Ning Anmiao and Yin Yiyan. Her role was just to give them a push.
Keeping those chat records would be the best evidence to reduce her crime!
But at that time, she was so scared that she was out of her wits. Coupled with her own guilt, she didn't think of this at all. It wasn't until she was locked in prison that she remembered, but it was too late.
She seemed to realize something. Suddenly, a chill ran down her back, and her lips began to tremble. "You... was it you!"
"What?" Lin Chuluo smiled, his eyes full of meaning. "What did you say?"
His calmness and composure made Jiang Xixi's blood boil!
"You set me up, didn't you!"
Jiang Xixi finally had a flash of inspiration. She rushed to the front of the desk, put her hands on the table, and shouted hoarsely, "Lin Chuluo, did you want to harm Ning Anmiao from the beginning and use me as your pawn!"
She suddenly remembered that the information about the kidnapping gang was also something she had accidentally seen in Lin Chuluo's computer browsing history.
All these clues were connected into a line, all pointing to Lin Chuluo.
She couldn't believe it!
Compared with Jiang Xixi's excitement and anger, Lin Chuluo seemed extremely calm. He looked up at her steadily for a while.
"Say something!" Jiang Xixi guessed something and immediately burst into tears. She rushed over and grabbed Lin Chuluo's collar. "Why did you do this to me! Lin Chuluo, I love you so much!"
Her movements were very big, and her voice was very noisy. Lin Chuluo was a bit annoyed. He waved his big hand and pushed her to the ground.
Jiang Xixi fell to the ground. The cold floor and the pain on her body made her catch her breath. Looking at the man walking towards her step by step, her pupils suddenly shrank.
