Chapter 1147: He Actually Likes Her This Much… (3)

The car slowly drove away from the neighborhood. Shen Liangchuan’s finally spoke, “Don’t be scared.”

Qiao Lian’s head spun around. It was only then she realized that her fear was so apparent.

She sighed in relief again and then looked around in the car. “Mom is here?”

“No.”

“So you—”

“I saw that you had entered the Lu family villa with trepidation and I was worried that you’d let the cat out of the bag. It’s just an excuse to get you out of there.”

She continued to heave sighs of relief.

After this, he continued, “But I did just book Mom a ticket and she’ll fly in about an hour. She should get here in about four to five hours.”

“So,” Qiao Lian thought, “they were going all out for pretending?”

Indeed.

Otherwise, what if Lu Nanze got suspicious?

After all, it would be easy to find out if Shen Liangchuan’s mother had never been to Suzhou.

Qiao Lian once again sighed in relief silently, thankful that Shen Liangchuan was such a meticulous person.

At this point, Shen Liangchuan asked, “Did you get your hands on it?”

An odd expression immediately crossed Qiao Lian’s face.

When she did the thorough search of the safe, there had been no signs of the account book. But she had seen a very well hidden box that had obviously been kept in good condition.

She had picked up that box, initially thinking that the account book was in it, but unexpectedly, when she opened it, she found…

She frowned and stopped short at this thought.

She stared ahead in a slight daze and said after a moment, “The account book wasn’t in the safe. I’ve searched all of his office and I couldn’t find it there.”

She sounded terribly disappointed.

If she had been successful in locating the account book today, then everything would have been fine.

But now…

Shen Liangchuan said, as these thoughts were running through her mind, “It’s not surprising that you didn’t manage to find it.”

She paused and looked at him in disbelief.

Casting his gaze down for a moment, he then explained, “If I were him, I wouldn’t have kept the account book. That is a dark spot of the Lu family’s history and also proof of their part in smearing the Qiao family. Keeping a time bomb would be a death wish, wouldn’t it?”

Qiao Lian frowned immediately at this idea. “You mean, he must already have destroyed the account book?”

He shook his head at her conclusion.

After a pause, he said, “If the account book had been destroyed, then why didn’t that accountant dare to return from Hainan? My guess is that someone else has the accounts book.”

He explained as he navigated the car, “He has been vigilant about this whole matter because someone else has the account book and uses it to threaten him. And all of these years, there has been only one person he has indulged.”

Shen Liangchuan glanced at Qiao Lian after saying this.

Suddenly, Qiao Lian saw a light. “You’re saying it’s… Qiao Yiyi?”

“That’s right.”

He sighed after saying this and looked at Qiao Lian, who was already in a daze.

She had always thought that her uncle’s family had never gotten along with her because of Qiao Yiyi.

But if the account book was in Qiao Yiyi’s hands, then what role had her uncle Qiao Zhigang played in the bankruptcy of the Qiao family business?

In that very moment, a chill ran down her spine, making her shudder involuntarily.
