Chapter 823: The Truth in the Recorder

ou're sorry to my mom, and you're sorry to me, is that all it takes to…"Slap! Another loud slap landed heavily on Luo Ningxi's left cheek.Both slaps landed on her left cheek, causing Luo Ningxi's left...After Zhao Zhong was caught by Li Bochen, he realized that things wouldn't end well. But when he looked up and saw the people present, especially Mr. Li and Li Jiancheng, he still harbored a sliver of hope.

"Yes, I am the chauffeur for the second Mrs.

"According to the kidnappers' testimonies, it was Jian Ningyi who instructed them to kidnap and murder me and Yu Chennan. What do you have to say"

“I…” Zhao Zhong hesitated, just uttering a word before being interrupted again by Luo Ningxi, “Think it through before you speak. Some people want to scapegoat Jian Ningyi right now, and we need a fall guy. The only one who can protect you is me!”

“Luo Ningxi, don't try to stir up trouble! I've always been clean and honest. Zhao Zhong, you can speak your mind freely. What is the truth about the kidnapping” Jian Ningyi saw through Luo Ningxi’s veiled threat and stepped forward defiantly, her gaze fixed on Zhao Zhong with a meaningful intensity. “The people from the Li family are all here. If you don't tell the truth, it won't just be you—I fear that even your family won't escape.”

Luningxi chuckled, interrupting Jian Ningyi, "Some people are desperate and trying to threaten Zhao Zhong with his family!"

Zhao Zhong's face was also changing colors, the kidnapping case was brought to the surface, his end would certainly be miserable.

But he couldn't implicate his family, they were innocent.

Just when Zhao Zhong was about to tough it out, a cold and sharp voice suddenly cut in forcefully, "Your family is in my hands. I only want the truth. Until the truth is clear, no one can touch them!"

"What" Jian Ningyi was taken aback, a hint of cracking appearing on her smiling face.

Li Bochen didn't even glance at Jian Ningyi, his gaze fixed coldly on Zhao Zhong. "My patience is limited. Was there someone behind your kidnapping"

"My... my family are really in your hands" Zhao Zhong tentatively probed, he was most afraid that his family would be implicated innocently.

You can also not believe it.

“I told you! I told you all along!!” With things having reached this point, with no danger to his family’s lives, Zhao Zhong threw caution to the wind and pointed at Jian Ningyi beside him. “It was Second Madam, it was all Second Madam who ordered me! She told me to contact the kidnappers to kill Miss Luo, and she said if I didn’t do what she said, she would make me disappear from the capital…”

"I didn't!" Jian Ningyi defended, her face pale. "Dad, you heard it, Lao Si said Zhao Zhong's family is in his hands, and he's with Luo Ningxi! Of course, he wants whatever kind of testimony he wants! I'm innocent..."

"Zhao Zhong! My wife has raised you for so many years, and you dare to betray her!" Li Jiancheng was furious and flew forward, kicking Zhao Zhong in the heart.

Zhao Zhong was thrown to the ground, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth. “Second Young Master, I just want to live! Besides, I have no grievances with Miss Luo, why go to such lengths to harm her!”

Zhao Zhong's face turned pale, and he vehemently refuted, "Moreover, those kidnappers are professional assassins, and their fees are exorbitant. I'm just a driver; I don't have that much money to hire them!"

"Jian Ningyi, plead for mercy! Get hammered if you must. Now, what else do you have to say" Luo Ningxi stared intently at Jian Ningyi, questioning her.

Things took another turn, Jianning pulled at Jiancheng's hand and begged for mercy, "Husband, I didn't, I really didn't, this is all Luo Ningxi's conspiracy..."

"A conspiracy Then what about this!"

Li Bochen didn't know when he suddenly took out a recording pen, a cold smile on his lips, and stared at Jian Ningyi leisurely.

Although I don't know what evidence is in the voice recorder, it must be crucial evidence for Li Bochen to take it out at this time!

Luo Ningxi's eyes sparkled, but Old Master Li's face sank once again, his eyes filled with a ruthlessness never seen before. "Fourth child, remember your own identity! Do you truly want to go against me, your father, for that woman, Luo Ningxi!"

The Li family has dominated the imperial capital for many years, and they absolutely cannot have another scandal that shakes the city like six years ago.

Now people are very idle, they regard gossip about wealthy families as after-dinner conversation.

Mr. Li sensed that if today's incident blew up, the Li family would become a laughingstock in high society for a long time.

"Grandpa, what's gotten you so excited Don't you firmly believe that Jian Ning is innocent Perhaps this recording doesn't prove anything at all!" Luo Ningxi scoffed.

Yu Chengnan also seemed to smile but not smile, "Miss Jian said so confidently that the kidnappers and the kidnappers slandered her, presumably these recordings are nothing extraordinary. Listening to them is nothing much."

"Shut your mouth—" Jian Ningyi glared fiercely at Yu Lan, "Sister-in-law, control your nephew!"

Yu Ran was worried about Old Master Li's presence and didn't want to appear too harsh, but Jian Ningyi was being audacious and even had the audacity to turn things around, accusing Yu Chengnan in front of her. That would be asking for trouble.

She changed the subject and spoke up, "Is my nephew wrong Or are you, sister-in-law, the real culprit, afraid that the recording has evidence against you"

"You—"

Click.

A barely audible key click suddenly sounded, and Li Bochen directly pressed the play button of the recording pen.

The ward was instantly filled with Jian Ningyi's voice, incredibly clear, carrying a hint of resentment and ferocity.her and her stepmother was a huge deal, making headlines several times!""Dead laughing, didn't expect her to take back a huge inheritance from her mother and use it to raise ducks.""The wealthy circle...
