Chapter 1220 - 1247: Exposing the True Colors 32
Every word and every sentence came through the recorder incomparably clearly into everyone’s ears. It was as if they could, through this audio, picture exactly what it had been like back then—so vicious it made people’s blood boil!
"Oh my god, I never thought she was the real mastermind, and she even tried to throw mud on someone else!"
"As a doctor, how can she treat human lives so lightly? This is downright poisonous!"
"Isn’t she the Leader’s granddaughter? How could she do something criminal like this?"
"Heh, look at the timing—she was only just acknowledged and brought back. She must’ve gotten nothing but low‑level education before. This Phoenix could only have flown out from its own trash nest!"
The Jian Family members heard these comments and their faces went so dark they could hardly lift their heads. Jian Xiong was so furious his head was spinning, and he glared at the deathly pale Zhang Mingyue.
"So it was your handiwork, and you even tried to frame that Chu girl. How did I end up with a granddaughter like you? You’re a disgrace to the Jian Family!"
"I—I’m not, I didn’t, Grandpa!" Zhang Mingyue stubbornly denied it. Even with things already at this point, she still refused to admit anything, clinging to her position, convinced that as long as she didn’t confess, no one could do anything to her.
"Chu Nianyang, you’re lying. That’s not my voice, I never did this!"
Zhang Mingyue shouted hysterically, even trying to dump the blame onto Nianyang.
"You must’ve imitated me. What can this audio even prove, huh? How does it prove it’s me? Who knows if you just framed me on purpose to get yourself out of trouble. How is this supposed to count as evidence?"
On the surface, what she said sounded somewhat reasonable, and the onlookers watching the drama unfold all felt that with just a recording, it did seem like not everything could be proven.
The more Zhang Mingyue talked, the more confident she became. She asserted, "I get it now—you bought off the Drug Administration Bureau. You people put on this whole show together. Chu Nianyang, tell me, how much money did you give the Drug Administration?"
"Zhang Mingyue, things have come to this and you’re still quibbling?" Nianyang watched her like she was a clown performing, her lips curling in biting sarcasm.
"Since you’re determined not to give up until you hit the wall, I’ll oblige you and make sure you’re left with nothing more to say."
The head of the Drug Administration cooperated with Nianyang and took out a stack of documents, speaking with firm conviction, "These are the receipts for large quantities of maca that Miss Zhang Mingyue purchased via overseas illegal transporters, as well as the remittance records."
Zhang Mingyue’s face went so white it was almost translucent. She snatched them up and flipped through them wildly—everything really was laid out clearly. This was terrifying. How could this be happening?
She stared at Nianyang in horror, her eyes filled with shattered panic and deep dread.
Nianyang had clearly already been arrested, so how could she still be this thoroughly prepared?
"Zhang Mingyue, you’re really shocked, aren’t you." Nianyang smiled calmly. After swallowing her grievances and holding back for so many days, she could finally vent hard—it felt insanely good.
"You know what? From the very beginning, when you started using maca to hype up business at your shop, I was already investigating you. I’d already figured you’d try to wash your hands of it and dump all the filth onto my Tongxin Hall. And when you bribed Angie, I was watching from not far away, seeing every word you said as clearly as anything!"
"You—you!" Zhang Mingyue completely panicked. She felt like Nianyang was a Devil—how could there be such a terrifying woman? She’d been caught in Nianyang’s trap right from the start.
