Chapter 222: What really happened.
After the meal, the Jiangs went back to their home. After spending a little more time with Lanni, Xiehan had to go back and complete his work so he left too. Now it was just Li Yuming and her daughters again.
Lanni went to her room and tried to call Cheng Yu again. Although the latter had given a false statement and fled, Lanni still felt there was more to it. That didn’t look like something Cheng Yu could do. She wanted to get to the bottom of it.
Who knew, perhaps Cheng Yu had been forced to give that statement by someone. If there was anyone who could force people into giving false statements against Xia Luna, there was no one aside from Li Xiyan who could be responsible for that. Just what lengths could that woman go just to frame Luna?
Lanni clenched her fists. If Li Xiyan could go to impossible lengths just to get rid of Luna, then she was no different. It didn’t matter what she would have to do. She would do what it took to get the truth out of Cheng Yu’s mouth.
Thinking about this, something surfaced in Lanni’s mind. She seemed to have made a similar declaration before. She sat on the bed and calmed down, making the memory more clear.
She was facing a white-haired elderly man as she boldly inquired, "What’s the meaning of this? Why did you instruct us to lie about completing the investigation for this case when it is still unsolved? Are we just going to go with the flow and accuse the innocent like other people are? The purpose of this agency is to reveal the truth to the public and to the police. We help people get justice and expose evil. Why would you ask us to lie to the police then? If we lie, then what’s the purpose of this agency’s existence to begin with?"
"Little girl, stop asking questions and do as you have been told." He scoffed in annoyance at her irritating questions.
"No." Lanni firmly refused. "I will not be part of this. I stand for the truth no matter what. Even if it means defying you, big boss, I’m not going to lie to the police or anyone. I am going to continue investigating this matter."
The memory fragment came to a stop, and Lanni was just as puzzled as she was proud.
