Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife-Chapter 963: Give You Dried Xiao Yu (3)

"What did that woman tell you to do?" An Yiqing lowered her eyes, asking softly. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

"She told me to accuse Xuanjin Pharmaceuticals of selling harmful drugs and to do my best to tarnish their reputation, to force Xuanjin Pharmaceuticals to open up their medicine fields and laboratories. Then she assigned roles to me and a few others, making certain we memorized everything, handed us a large sum of money, and left."

The content of Cai Ziyu’s statements was roughly what An Yiqing had suspected; the woman was just an ordinary star driven by money and status, unlikely to know much.

"Do you still remember what that woman looked like?"

"I do remember. She was quite pretty, spoke in a soft and frail manner. I don’t think she’s the same person who called me before," Cai Ziyu paused, asserting confidently.

An Yiqing’s brows arched, "Why do you say that?"

"Their tones are different. I’ve been in the entertainment industry for so long, seen all sorts of actors; I’m certain that although the two women’s voices are very similar, they are definitely not the same person. The impatience and contempt in the voice of the person who called me are not things one can fake, while the woman I met, she always reminded me of those deceitfully weak on the outside but malicious on the inside... Ah, that’s right! The woman spoke unnaturally, her Mandarin wasn’t very good."

Her Mandarin wasn’t very good? Could it be...

"Alright, I understand. Xiao Feng, arrange for Miss Cai to be moved to a regular cell."

A glimmer of hope shone in Cai Ziyu’s eyes; anything was better than this grim and terrifying place, even a regular cell.

"I’ve told everything I know, I was just greedy for a moment when I tried to frame Xuanjin Pharmaceuticals, please forgive me! I beg you! I’m begging you!"

Cai Ziyu hoped to plead a few more words to An Yiqing, but she was swiftly dragged away by several prison guards called by Zhang Yufeng. What awaited her was several years of prison life; by the time she would be released, the position of the Jade Maiden Sect Leader would no longer be hers.

After Cai Ziyu was sent off, the prison gates were shut again.

Watching Pei Wen, who remained silent, crouched in a corner with his head down, An Yiqing didn’t speak. She sat motionless on the chair, quietly observing him.

For a moment, the cell was suffocatingly silent.

Then, Zhang Yufeng, who stood behind An Yiqing, took out a small clock from his chest, holding it in his hand. In the quiet, creepy cell, the ticking of the clock’s second hand was unsettling, each tick causing one’s heart to flutter.

After about twenty minutes had passed, Pei Wen, who had kept his head down, now had his forehead covered in sweat, and An Yiqing could clearly see his clenched fists trembling incessantly.

Curling her lips into a smile, it seemed Pei Wen’s psychological defenses were close to collapsing.

"Pei Wen, who exactly instructed you? What is your relationship with Haitian Hospital?"

After sorting things out yesterday and thinking it through, An Yiqing had developed some preliminary guesses about Pei Wen.

Firstly, the fact that he abruptly left his role as an ordinary expert in a military hospital to join their family, transforming into a distinguished professor at Haitian Hospital, already raised many questions.

Secondly, during the ten years Pei Wen worked at Haitian, he had trafficked numerous babies; it was impossible that he was never exposed. So why did Haitian Hospital never investigate? What kind of secrets were hidden?

Furthermore, regarding this attempt to frame Xuanjin Pharmaceuticals, An Yiqing had reason to believe that Pei Wen wouldn’t dare take such a risk on his own unless Haitian Hospital had allowed it; otherwise, someone with his status as a distinguished professor wouldn’t make such a rash move.
