Chapter 19 giving false impression to the other party
In the living room, Xu Yuxia, who had just dozed off, heard Ling'er saying in her ear, "Miss, wake up, Director Xu is calling you over!"
"Who called me?" Xu Yuxia asked, opening her sleepy eyes.
"It's the dean, he called just now and asked you to go over," Ling said.
"Oh, I see. You can go ahead, I may not come for lunch. When my sister comes back, tell her not to leave, I have something to say to her. Remember!" Xu Yuxia stood up and walked out while speaking.
"Okay, I will make sure to tell her when she comes back. Don't worry!" Ling replied, and then walked out of the door.
Xu Yuxia arrived at her father's villa, where someone was already waiting to welcome her. She went into the study, where her father was waiting for her. As soon as she entered, someone brought them tea, and the study became a space for the father and daughter to be alone.
"Dad, why did you call me back? It's not because of Zhiqiang, right?" Xu Yuxia looked at her father anxiously and asked.
"Could there be something else? This matter has already caused a big commotion in the city. Haven't you heard anything at school?" Xu Zongfa looked at his daughter with some confusion and asked.
"I just heard about it, but I didn't know it had anything to do with me. I was even thinking about avenging Zhijiang!" Xu Yuxia bit her lip and said, wondering why her newly built emotional life had come to an end so suddenly. Was it destined to be like this for the rest of her life?
"You don't know? But didn't you talk to Zhuoqiang on the night of the incident? Didn't he tell you anything? And you had many conversations, what is the reason behind this?" Xu Zongfa said.
"Speaking of this, I was puzzled at the time, and I still can't figure it out." Xu Yuxia said, recalling that strange night. She wondered why, when she called Zhijiang, the call was answered, but no one spoke. She spoke loudly, but the other person remained silent. She hung up the phone, and a little while later it rang again. This went back and forth a few times before she found out that something happened to Zhijiang.
"Why don't you understand? Tell me." Xu Zongfa said.
Xu Yuxia carefully recounted what had happened that night, and Xu Zongfa fell into deep thought. He wondered why this was happening. It seemed that either someone deliberately made the phone call when Xiang Zhiqiang was on his deathbed, or there was an intentional plot to shift the focus onto his daughter. What exactly was the situation?
"Did you hear any noise from the phone at that time?" Xu Zongfa asked.
"Noise? Let me think carefully..." Xu Yuxia said as she tried to recall.
"Did anything come to mind?" Xu Zongfa looked at his daughter who had been silent for a while and asked.
"I remembered something. I think I heard the sound of a car, and there was another sound, but very faint. If the other person hadn't been silent, I wouldn't have noticed it. Your current state reminded me of it," Xu Yuxia said. She did hear a honking sound at that time, but it was very distant.
"Oh! I see. So it was like that. The person who called you on the phone was not Xiang Zhiqiang himself, but someone else. These phone calls were meant to create the illusion that you were talking to Xiang Zhiqiang," analyzed Xu Zongfa.
"Why would they do this?" Xu Yuxia asked, puzzled.
"Hmph! Obviously, they want to divert all the clues towards you and Liu Qingyun. I suspect Liu Qingyun received a similar phone call as you," Xu Zongfa said.
"Who do I have such a grudge against? None at all! Why would they do this?" Xu Yuxia thought innocently about herself. After all, she was just a student; she didn't have any enemies!
"You certainly don't have any enemies, but me, your sister, and Ahui do! Their purpose in doing this is very obviously aimed at us. In a sense, it's likely aimed at me and the main leader, and at the same time, they want to disrupt the Xiang family's formation." Xu Zongfa said.
"What should I do now?" Xu Yuxia asked in a bit of panic.
"You should stay at home for now. I believe the Ministry of Justice will come to arrest you soon. We have already approved it, Yuxia. It's not that your father doesn't want to help you, but now both the supervisor and I hope that you and Liu Qingyun can help us. We will approve the Ministry of Justice's actions in order to create a false impression and make the people behind the scenes reveal themselves. Do you understand?" Xu Zongfa looked at his daughter and said with a hint of reluctance.
"Dad! I understand, but there's one thing I don't understand. Why wasn't Zhang Hui assigned to this case from the beginning, and instead, they let Han Lei, who everyone thinks is incompetent, handle it? This is something I've been wondering about." Xu Yuxia said.
"This, you will understand in the future. For now, what you need to do is calm down and carefully go over the situation of that night, recall it in detail, and tell the relevant investigators the truth." Xu Zongfa said.
"Okay! I will think about it carefully." said Xu Yuxia.
"Hmm! That's good. Oh! By the way, you came from your sister's place. I just heard someone saying there was a fight going on over there. What happened? Do you know?" Xu Zongfa asked.
"What about this? Dad, what do you and grandpa think? Why haven't you allowed my sister to marry Zhang Hui yet?" Xu Yuxia said.
"How does our argument have anything to do with this?" Xu Zongfa was a bit puzzled. How is our argument related to getting married?
"Maybe, the ones arguing are Yaoer and Ling'er, both of them argue over small things," Xu Yuxia said.
"Oh! So Ling'er doesn't usually have arguments when she's not around? What's wrong with this Ling'er? If it's not possible, then let Ahui make alternative arrangements for Ling'er," Xu Zongfa said.
"Dad, you're wrong. It's not Ling's fault, it's Yao's fault," Xu Yuxia explained the process and cause of the argument carefully.
"Oh! I see. So it's because this Yao is lazy, but what does this have to do with their marriage? Oh! You mean after getting married, Ahui took charge of the household, so Yao couldn't be unruly anymore," Xu Zongfa said.
"That's what I mean. I think Ahui might not want Yao'er," Xu Yuxia said.
"Not want Yao'er? I'm afraid that won't work. Your grandfather wouldn't be pleased with that," Xu Zongfa said. He also knew that this Yao'er was a gift from his father to Ping'er, and he couldn't make the decision to not keep her. He wondered if Ahui could persuade Grandpa to make an exception.
"It's up to Ahui, we don't need to say anything." Xu Yuxia said.
"Alright, I think after you finish your business, Ahui's villa should also be almost completed. It's just right, then you can live in your sister's villa. What do you think?" Xu Zongfa said.
"Dad! It seems like I can't say a word about urging my sister to get married, otherwise someone will say that I'm coveting her villa. I will never dare to mention this again in the future," Xu Yuxia said. Hearing her father's words, she was shocked. Urging her sister to get married would immediately make others think that she wants to monopolize the villa. Being human is really difficult!"
Upon hearing his daughter say this, Xu Zongfa felt that his daughter had grown up and was no longer that little girl!
