Chapter 205: She Had a Guilty Heart

Translator: Zayn_

At the same time, Song Qingyou saw Cao Manli in the cafe.

Cao Manli looked mean and unfriendly, but she looked haggard and devastated after her husband’s death. People who could not get a good impression of her would pity her.

When she saw Song Qingyou, her eyes turned red.

“I know you’re a big star and you’re not from that company. 1 agreed to meet you because 1 wanted to ask, why did you say that on the Internet?”

“My husband is already dead, and he died suddenly because of work. Do you also think that I’m deliberately causing trouble and want them to pay a lot of money?”

“Isn’t that so?” Song Qingyou sat across from her and asked expressionlessly.

“Of course not!”

Cao Manli sobbed. “I just want justice for my husband! My husband was so young, and we have a seven-year-old daughter! Without my husband, how are we going to live?”

“The dead cannot be brought back to life.” Song Qingyou looked up. “What do you want? Do you want money or do you want Jiang Zhihan to apologize?”

“I don’t want anything. 1 just want my husband back!” Cao Manli said through gritted teeth. “Can you return my husband? You can’t!”

“You guys are just trying to stall for time. When everyone forgets about this, everything will be fine!”

Song Qingyou chuckled. “Aren’t you the one who wants to stall for time?”

Cao Manli immediately wanted to retort, but Song Qingyou paused and said mockingly, “Ms. Cao has received thirteen transfers in the past two days, totaling up to 4.5 million. The longer this matter drags on, the more money you’ll earn. Am I right?”

“What nonsense are you talking about?” Cao Manli glared at Song Qingyou. “Aren’t you here to solve the problem on behalf of the Jiangyuan Corporation? Or do big companies not even care about their own reputation?”

Song Qingyou smiled.

“Since I can find out that you received so much money, I have a way to announce it… At that time, will anyone still believe what Ms. Cao said?”

Cao Manli’s eyes flickered, but she still refused to admit it.

“So what if I took the money? These were the interview fees given by the media! My husband died while working at the company. This is the truth! No one would not believe it!”

“If the money transfer records are useless, what about the evidence of your gambling?” Song Qingyou sneered.

“What gambling?” Cao Manli stood up. “I don’t know what you’re talking about! Don’t think that just because you fabricated some non-existent evidence, my husband’s matter will be settled!”

Song Qingyou wasn’t worried that she would leave. She just smiled and continued, “If you want, I can list all the gambling venues you’ve been to.”

“In addition, I have all the chat records of Ms. Cao and Mr. Luo. Ms. Cao had repeatedly asked Mr. Luo for money… According to the company’s investigation, Mr. Luo was working overtime in the company because he had taken on outside work, which is to say, private work…”

“As long as these things are announced, everyone will know that Mr. Luo was forced to death by Ms. Cao.”

Although Jiangyuan Corporation would have to bear some of the losses, its reputation would never be ruined.

Cao Manli’s heart tightened.

“I don’t believe you can find out so much. You’re trying to lure me into confessing, right? 1 won’t be fooled…”

Cao Manli was a little moved, but she still remembered what the people she had contacted had said.

Once the matter was settled, there would be an endless stream of money. She only needed to grit her teeth and not let go. As for other matters, someone would help her handle them!

Since that was the case, it shouldn’t be so easy to find evidence of her gambling!

“If you really have so much evidence, why didn’t you just release it? Why did you have to meet me?” Cao Manli was determined.

Song Qingyou suddenly smiled.

“Of course, it’s to find out the mastermind from Ms. Cao.”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about. If there’s nothing else, I’m leaving.” Cao Manli’s pupils constricted.

She was so flustered that she forgot to say anything.

Song Qingyou thought that it was about time. When Cao Manli walked past her, she suddenly said a few addresses and handed her a USB drive.

“The backup of the evidence is in this USB drive.”

“Miss Cao, if you don’t believe me, you can take a look at it in advance.

However, as long as you walk out of this door, this evidence will appear on the headlines tonight.”

“We will make you spit out all the money you received!”

Cao Manli stopped in her tracks and turned around to tell Song Qingyou that she wasn’t afraid at all and that she was just bluffing.

But when she saw Song Qingyou leaning back in her chair with a relaxed expression and taking a sip of coffee, she suddenly cowered.

Song Qingyou was confident, and she even told him the address of her gambling den. How could she not have evidence?

Cao Manli stood there for a long time. Seeing that Song Qingyou had no intention of stopping her and had even put down her cup and picked up her bag, preparing to leave…

She couldn’t hold it in any longer and immediately walked back to her original seat. Her voice was trembling as she said, “Wait! 1 can tell you all the information about the people who contacted me!”

“As long as you don’t publish the evidence, I’ll do anything!”

Song Qingyou clicked her tongue.

“I originally wanted to release the evidence directly, but Assistant Fang insisted that I meet you. How troublesome…”

The more impatient she was, the more Cao Manli was sure that the evidence was real.

“Please give me this chance…”

Cao Manli was extremely cooperative and quickly explained who she had met before.

Even if she didn’t know his name, she could share his personal characteristics.

In the end, she even promised Song Qingyou that she would apologize on the internet.

Before she left, Song Qingyou took out a recording pen from her pocket.

“Miss Cao, remember what you said today, or else…”

Cao Manli looked at the recording pen and nodded.

“Don’t worry, I will definitely send out a long apology tonight, as well as proof of compensation from the Jiangyuan Corporation.”

Cao Manli promised her again and again before she left. She didn’t even dare to ask Song Qingyou not to disclose the evidence.

Fang Yan came in from outside.

“Is the matter settled?”

“She promised to apologize and clarify tonight.” Song Qingyou replied casually.

“Why did she agree?” Fang Yan was surprised.

“I told her that I knew she was gambling.”

Fang Yan had also investigated this.

But the problem was-

“We don’t have any evidence in this regard…”

“I don’t need evidence.” Song Qingyou smiled and stood up, putting the USB drive back into her pocket. “She has a guilty conscience, so she confessed immediately.”

“Miss Song, you’re amazing.” Fang Yan said with heartfelt admiration.

He really thought that Song Qingyou had convinced Cao Manli with her words.

What he didn’t know was that Song Qingyou did have evidence, but it wasn’t obtained through proper means and couldn’t be published.

After getting into the car, Song Qingyou gave Fang Yan Cao Manli’s letter. “These are the people who contacted Cao Manli. Other than the media, there are also some people in the company. You should be able to find them based on their characteristics.”

Fang Yan thanked her in surprise..
