Huo Xiaoran looked at Li Changhai’s fingerprint in satisfaction. Then, he carefully folded the agreement and placed it into his pocket.

At that moment, Huo Xiaoran’s expression changed.

Instead of coaxing Li Changhai, he questioned him sternly, “Li Changhai, shouldn’t you tell me honestly who instructed you to hurt Qiao An time and time again?”

Li Changhai was an old fox. He had long memorized his argument. “Didn’t I say that no one instructed me? It’s all my own fault. My heart aches for Miss Lu Mo. That’s why I have to stand up for her.”

Huo Xiaoran leaned forward, and an evil smile appeared on his handsome face. “Li Changhai, I advise you to answer my question properly. If you lie about anything and make me dissatisfied, let me tell you, tomorrow will be the end of Lu Mo and Mrs. Lu.”

Li Changhai’s smile faded. Only now did he realize that the agreement was most likely a ruse.

“Huo Xiaoran, what exactly do you want to do?” he asked fearfully.

Huo Xiaoran felt Li Changhai’s panic and pulled away in satisfaction.

“To tell you the truth, Lu Mo and Mrs. Lu are living very happily now. Director Lu loves his wife and his daughter. And what I just said is all fake.”

“I lied to you. I didn’t marry Lu Mo, and of course, there’s no evidence that you and Mrs. Lu committed adultery. However, you were stupid enough to personally give me the evidence.”

Huo Xiaoran took out the agreement again. Miraculously, the agreement split into two. The formulaic contract in the upper half was the abandoned part of the agreement. The lower half became a simple confession letter. Li Changhai’s fingerprint was imprinted on it.

Huo Xiaoran threw the abandoned part to Li Changhai.

“You set me up?” Li was so angry he lunged. He wanted to destroy the evidence.

However, he had underestimated Huo Xiaoran. Huo Xiaoran kicked him in the heart and stood up, looking down at the tiny and immobile Li Changhai.

“Tell me the truth about hurting Qiao An. Otherwise, this confession letter will reach Dean Lu tomorrow.”

Li Changhai wanted to struggle and resist, but Huo Xiaoran pressed down on him. “You actually know martial arts?”

Huo Xiaoran said proudly, “Yes, I was once the champion of the national martial arts competition.”

Li Changhai completely gave up resisting. His eyes were filled with despair.

“Huo Xiaoran, how can you hurt Momo so unconditionally for Qiao An?”

Huo Xiaoran frowned. “Hmph, let me rephrase that for you: How can you hurt Qiao An so unconditionally for Lu Mo?”

Li Changhai’s face alternated between green and white.

For the first time, Huo Xiaoran put himself in Qiao An’s shoes and realized that the pain he caused Qiao An was no different from the pain Lu Mo caused him. For the first time, he fell silent.

Huo Xiaoran stepped on his heart and said fiercely, “Li Changhai, how did you plan Qiao An’s accident three years ago? Tell me the truth.”

The pain from Li Changhai’s broken ribs made him lie on the ground and curl up into a ball. “Huo Xiaoran, I accept my fate. I can confess my crimes. I just hope that you won’t hurt Lu Mo. As long as you promise me not to hurt Lu Mo, I’ll confess everything.”

Huo Xiaoran was silent for a moment before gritting his teeth. “Alright, I promise you.”

Li Changhai heaved a sigh of relief.

“Three years ago, after Qiao An got a divorce, she wanted to get back together with you. She came to look for you more than once. Fortunately, Lu Mo intercepted her. No matter how hard Lu Mo tried to sow discord between you and Qiao An, and even used your position to humiliate her for being a divorced second-hand, Qiao An was too obsessed with you. She insisted on meeting you personally.”

Huo Xiaoran’s handsome face instantly stiffened.

When he thought about how Lu Mo had assumed his identity to insult Qiao An, his heart felt as if it had been cut by sharp blades.

Qiao An must have been in so much pain back then that she couldn’t breathe.

“Lu Mo was afraid of losing you. She knew that if Qiao An doesn’t hear you reject her personally, she won’t be willing to accept it. Because of this, Momo cried and complained to me.”

“I thought that since Qiao An wasn’t discouraged no matter how Lu Mo tried to drive a wedge between the two of you, I could only be ruthless with her. So I designed a car accident that night when she was about to leave the capital… Originally, if she had left like this, I wouldn’t have taken revenge on her. But that day, you actually took the initiative to meet her. Momo was timid and was afraid that she would drive a wedge between the two of you. Therefore, she asked me to break the two of you up no matter what. So I drove my car and hit her while Qiao An was waiting for you.”

At this point, Li Changhai’s conscience probably hadn’t died, and he suddenly became silent. A hint of shame flashed across his face. “At that time, Qiao An was pregnant and had a big belly. She couldn’t move easily. When my car hit her, she quickly turned around to protect the child. Who knew that she would hit her head… and bleed on the spot.”

‘While she was delirious, I deliberately told her that you had instructed me to kill her. To bury the scandal between you and her.’

“What scandal?” Huo Xiaoran felt so painful that she couldn’t breathe.

“The child in Qiao An’s stomach is actually yours. Momo knew about the secret long ago. That’s why she’s afraid that you’ll know that Qiao An didn’t have a miscarriage. She’s afraid that if you know that Qiao An pregnant with your child, you’ll return to her without hesitation.”

Huo Xiaoran fell into extreme shock.

At this moment, he came to a realization. Qiao An’s act of swallowing medicine and having a miscarriage in the Li family was actually a smokescreen she had orchestrated.

The girl had cleverly lied to everyone to get the Li family to give up on her unborn children and also to protect his reputation.

But he could imagine her, a weak woman, fighting against the endless pressure to protect him and the children, alone, against the mundane gossip.

She must have had a very painful, tangled, and struggling life.

What was even more terrifying was that she loved him so much, but Lu Mo used such a vicious method to destroy her love and kill her heart.

How much pain and despair must she have felt back then when she’d misunderstood that he wanted to kill her?

Huo Xiaoran felt a mouthful of blood in his throat and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

Li Changhai was completely dumbfounded.

“President Huo, are you alright?”

Huo Xiaoran said sinisterly, “I’m fine, but you’re in trouble.” He suddenly raised his fist and punched him crazily.

“Li Changhai, you bastard. Qiao An was pregnant. How could you do that? Go to hell.”

His fists landed on Li Changhai’s face crazily. Soon, Li Changhai’s face was mangled.
