Chapter 1259: Chapter 1234: The Sister Who Cherishes Her Younger Sister

Hearing Zhou Susu’s answer, Ye Chen couldn’t help rolling his eyes at her.

"Big sis, what on earth is going on in that head of yours? Sure enough, women all over the world love jewelry and accessories."

"Tch, isn’t it obvious? This box is full of valuables, and this inconspicuous little bear is sitting right here. That’s the best explanation there is, what else could it be?" Zhou Susu said, unconvinced.

She felt her reasoning wasn’t wrong; any normal person would think this way.

"This little bear has a recording function. There’s a recording about the killer in here, you know." Ye Chen said.

"A recording? And it’s related to the killer?" Zhou Susu clearly found it hard to believe.

This was the first time both she and Ye Chen had seen this bear, so why did Ye Chen know so much about it?

"How do you know that?" Zhou Susu looked at Ye Chen and asked.

"Of course Little Jing told me." Ye Chen said casually.

Zhou Susu was still a bit doubtful. Smiling, she turned to Little Jing and asked, "Little Jing, is what Brother Ye Chen said true?"

Little Jing nodded, indicating she agreed with Ye Chen’s story.

She had seen Zhou Susu and Ye Chen bickering over the bear and was afraid her brother and sister would fall out over it.

To Little Jing, Ye Chen and Zhou Susu were both people she liked, so she hoped the two could be happy together.

For that reason, Little Jing told a lie to help Ye Chen.

Since even Little Jing said so, Zhou Susu no longer doubted it.

"Then what’s recorded in here?" Zhou Susu looked at Ye Chen and asked again.

"How would I know? I’m not an Immortal who can divine everything." Ye Chen shook his head.

Now that they had found the bear, if they wanted to know what was recorded inside, they only had to turn it on and the answer would be revealed.

But this bear was something Little Jing liked, and it was very meaningful to her.

Of course Ye Chen had to get the girl’s consent first.

"Little Jing, can you turn this bear on?" Ye Chen looked at her and said.

Hearing Ye Chen’s words, Little Jing put aside the bear the night driver had given her, then used her little hand to flip the switch on this bear.

Inside, her mother’s voice sounded.

"Little Jing, happy birthday. Dad and Mom hope you can grow up happy and joyful. We’ll always be with you."

Then her father’s voice came on.

"Baby girl, happy birthday. You’ll always be Daddy’s little princess."

As soon as Little Jing heard her parents’ voices, her tears burst forth like a breached dam, streaming down.

Zhou Susu was a bit worried and wanted to comfort the girl, but Ye Chen stopped her.

If he wasn’t wrong, this was the first time since the incident that Little Jing had really let herself cry.

She poured out all the grievances and sadness in her heart.

In fact, this was a good thing for her. If a person’s emotions can’t be released, over time it’s easy to get sick from holding it in.

Zhou Susu didn’t want Little Jing to be so heartbroken and was about to turn off the bear, but Little Jing stopped her.

Even though she felt sad, she still wanted to hear her parents’ voices.

You had to know she hadn’t heard her mom and dad’s voices in a long time, and she missed them terribly.

Just then, a woman’s voice came from the bear.

Ye Chen switched the bear off, then signaled to Zhou Susu to take Little Jing away. He knew this woman was the one who had killed Little Jing’s parents.

He didn’t want Little Jing to hear this part.

Ye Chen knew this content had been recorded by Little Jing unintentionally, and the killer might not even know about it.

Catching his meaning, Zhou Susu took Little Jing’s hand and said, "Little Jing, let’s go out and play."

Watching the two of them leave, Ye Chen turned the switch back on.

Inside was a conversation between Little Jing’s mother and that woman. It was clear the woman was very close to her mother.

From the recording, Ye Chen learned that this woman was Little Jing’s mother’s younger sister, which meant she was Little Jing’s aunt.

At first, the woman complained about why Little Jing’s mother was so lucky, with such a happy family, while she was stuck with that useless husband, having to handle everything by herself.

Little Jing’s mother kept comforting her, but then the woman suddenly changed the topic and demanded that Little Jing’s mom pay off her debts, even saying she wanted to seize Little Jing’s family company and take back everything that "belonged" to her.

Then there was a loud bang of a door slamming.

At first Ye Chen thought that was it, but unexpectedly there was still another segment of Little Jing’s mother’s voice afterward. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Ye Chen knew this was the last time Little Jing’s mother and aunt had met, and he also understood that Little Jing’s mother had long since realized her sister wanted to kill her.

He sighed, hugged the bear, walked out of the study, and said to Zhou Susu and Little Jing, "Let’s go."

Seeing the look on Ye Chen’s face, Zhou Susu grew a bit worried.

She didn’t know what exactly Ye Chen had heard just now, or why his expression had turned so grim.

Ye Chen and Zhou Susu took Little Jing and Officer Zhang back to the room from before, leaving Little Jing in Officer Zhang’s care again.

To be able to take the bear with him, Ye Chen smiled and said, "Little Jing, this bear’s a bit torn. I’ll have Sis sew it up for you and bring it back later, okay? For now, why don’t you play with the bear Brother Chen gave you?"

Little Jing smiled and nodded, then handed the bear to Ye Chen.

The reason Ye Chen did this was, first, he was afraid Little Jing would be heartbroken again if she heard her parents’ voices; second, he was afraid she’d hear the fight between her aunt and her mother and be frightened, and even more afraid that such a small child would have the seed of hatred planted in her heart.

After sending Little Jing and Officer Zhang upstairs, Ye Chen and Zhou Susu drove to the police station.

After parking, the Two People got out of the car and went straight to Zhou Susu’s office.

Once inside, Zhou Susu looked at Ye Chen and asked, "Ye Chen, what exactly happened? Why do you look so awful?"

Ye Chen handed her the bear and said, "Listen to what’s in here. Turns out Little Jing’s mother knew long ago that this day would come. She loved her sister way too much."

Zhou Susu turned on the bear. After listening to the contents, her expression was the same as Ye Chen’s.

"I never thought it really was Little Jing’s aunt who did this. It’s infuriating. How could she be so vicious to her own sister and brother-in-law? And why was Little Jing’s mother so stupid?"

You had to admit, Little Jing’s mother was truly a kind woman. She actually chose to endure for her sister’s sake. If she’d called the police earlier, maybe the tragedy wouldn’t have happened.

I think she had already foreseen everything that was about to happen. The reason she said and did nothing was entirely out of love for her sister—she even loved her sister more than she loved her own daughter.
