Chen Peiwen looked at Chu Yao in disbelief, and Chu Yao was also a little stunned.

The letter that Qu Huiqiao left before her death was actually to be sent to the Yuan family!

However, as fate would have it, the letter was not sent nineteen years ago, but returned to the hands of the Yuan family nineteen years later.

Since it was to be sent to the Yuan family, Chu Yao directly opened the envelope.

The first sentence was, "Hello, Jiaqian, my name is Qu Huiqiao."

If she felt like she was struck by lightning just now, Chen Peiwen was now stunned by the second lightning.

She had always thought that everyone was hiding things from Qu Huiqiao, and she had no idea that Yuan's father had a family background.

Unexpectedly, she actually knew the name that Yuan's father gave to Yuan Jiahao.

Chu Yao continued reading.

"I'm sorry, I don't have the chance to meet you. I can only apologize to you in this letter."

"When you received this letter, you should be eighteen years old, right?"

"I'm sorry for having you born into a family that will never be happy. I'm sorry for taking the initiative and starting an unhappy life for you."

"I am a writer at Xinhe Magazine, and my pen name is 'Lan Xinlong'."

"Maybe it's because of my illness. My body functions are gradually deteriorating, and my mind is also slowly degenerating, like a rusty gear."

"Where should I begin? Let me start from when I returned to Hongyong County..."

From this letter, Chu Yao and Chen Peiwen learned the reason why Qu Huiqiao came to Hongyong County.

Her kidney disease was congenital and was accompanied by multiple complications, so she had to take medication for life.

Because her kidney disease had reached an irreversible level, she gave up treatment and returned to Hongyong County where she lived as a child. With the introduction of her family, she joined Xinhe Magazine.

Just as they knew, Qu Huiqiao had hypoglycemia and almost fell down the stairs, but Yuan's father helped her up.

She was grateful to Yuan's father, so she taught him some typesetting techniques.

Qu Huiqiao's health was not good enough to support her to complete her studies, but the Qu family was financially capable enough to hire a teacher to teach her at home.

Therefore, although she did not receive much education, she had more knowledge than her peers.

Later, Qu Huiqiao gradually discovered that Yuan's father approached her for a purpose.

Or perhaps, he had noticed Qu Huiqiao, who had an extraordinary background, a long time ago.

Qu Huiqiao rejected him again and again, but he still didn't give up and kept pestering her.

She wrote in the letter, "Of course I know how to make a clean break, but the price of doing so is that I have to give up my beloved job."

"I am a selfish person. I have nothing left. Only when I deal with words can I feel a little happiness and sense of accomplishment."

“So, I didn’t quit, I’m still working at New River Magazine.”

During that period, rumors were everywhere. Although at the request of her family, colleagues would not mention this matter in front of Qu Huiqiao, Qu Huiqiao still knew about it.

Of course, this is good news for her.

She asked Yuan's father to come out and had a serious talk with him.

"I told him, you have a wife and a son, and maybe you'll have a lovely daughter in the future, why would you give up your happy family for someone who has nothing to do with you?"

"If I were you, I would definitely cherish my family."

"I believe you have only been temporarily blinded. Everyone makes mistakes, and the important thing is to learn to correct them."

However, when Yuan's father heard these words, they became: "Qu Huiqiao wants a daughter."

Qu Huiqiao once mentioned to Yuan's father that she was seriously ill, but Yuan's father just thought that Qu Huiqiao was making excuses.

After talking to her this time, Yuan's father suddenly realized that Qu Huiqiao must be unable to have children, so she said that she was sick.

It doesn’t matter. Just because Qu Huiqiao can’t have children doesn’t mean others can’t.

Anyway, they are all children of the Yuan family. What does it matter who gave birth to them?

He didn't despise Qu Huiqiao for not being able to have children. If he gave her a daughter, she would definitely be touched and want to be with him, right?

He knew very well what Qu Huiqiao represented.

Not to mention a small magazine, most of the Qu family's assets would go into the pocket of this son-in-law.

"After a while, he suddenly stopped pestering me, and I was happy about it, thinking he was finally on the right track."

"But then, one day, he suddenly told me, 'We are going to have a daughter.'"

"I almost thought I was hallucinating, but after double-checking, I realized that he was planning to give me the daughter he had with his wife."

"This unfortunate child should not have been born, but Mrs. Yuan was too pregnant and had to give birth to the baby."

After reading this, Chen Peiwen was so surprised that she couldn't utter a word, and Chu Yao also found it ridiculous.

Yuan Jiahao was born not because Yuan's father wanted a daughter, but because he wanted a gift for Qu Huiqiao.

A gift that can impress Qu Huiqiao and bring Yuan's father and Qu Huiqiao together.

By the time Yuan's father told Qu Huiqiao, the baby in Yuan's mother's belly was probably already six months old.

Not to mention that if the child was aborted, Yuan's mother would also be in danger of her life. Just think about the thinking of that era. Aborting a child for no reason would lead to people talking about you for the rest of your life.

The last paragraph has a bit of the flavor of a suicide note.

"I'm sorry I couldn't prevent your misfortune. I still have some pathetic illusions."

"There is a portion of my inheritance in the passbook, a total of 500,000 yuan. When you come of age, take this passbook to a bank in the capital to exchange it, and you can also get my trust fund."

"I don't know what the world will be like in the future, but this money can cure your disease."

"Also, I hope you can fulfill my two wishes."

"I left you a diary. I hope you can write down the memorable things in it. When it is full, burn it."

"If the underground world really exists, maybe I can receive it."

"One more thing. Did you see the soil in the bottle? Please water it. It doesn't need much. Two small cups a week is enough."

"I promise you, the flowers will bloom."

Chen Peiwen sat on the sofa, trying to organize her thoughts, but her brain was just like what Qu Huiqiao said in the letter - rusted.

“So, she asked for the letter to be sent in 1998 so that Jiahao, who is now an adult, could inherit her estate?” she murmured. “She really thought it through.”

In those days, passbooks and trust funds had to be used by adults.

Moreover, these 1998 yuan were a huge sum of money in . It was more than enough to pay for Yuan Jiahao's medical treatment and allow her to live a life of ease with the help of the fund.

Her second wish is that Yuan Jiahao can recover his health one day.

Only when Yuan Jiahao recovers from his illness will he be able to write a diary and water the plants.

As for whether Qu Huiqiao could receive her diary, it didn’t matter.

However, how could Sister Mei have imagined that the light box Qu Huiqiao handed her actually contained 500,000 yuan?

This is not Qu Huiqiao's fault, nor is it Sister Mei's fault, but they both failed to anticipate how fate would play tricks on human beings.

If we were to say who bears the greatest responsibility for causing such a huge tragedy, it would of course be Yuan's father.

Qu Huiqiao is also a victim. It is because of Yuan's father's constant harassment that she is gossiped by her colleagues, which causes her condition to worsen.

But she was willing to consider the good of poor Yuan Jia and make up for the mistakes made by Yuan's father.

It’s a pity that this letter arrived nineteen years late, but it was enough to change Yuan Jiahao’s fate.

hum-

Chu Yao's phone vibrated. She took out her phone and her expression became serious in an instant.

"What's wrong? Is this news from the police?" Chen Peiwen asked nervously.

She was afraid of hearing some bad news, but Chu Yao replied, "No, not the police."

In fact, she didn't know who sent the message.

Because the sender did not make any remarks, her online name was "花开富贵" and her profile picture was a bright peony.

Yuan Jiaxiang didn't even add her as a friend, and she sent him two friend requests.

The first one is, "Who are you? What do you want to do? I don't have a penny!"

The second one is, "Don't be sneaky, talk to me face to face if you have the guts!"

Chu Yao scrolled up and saw that Yuan Jiaxiang had once sent a friend request to Hua Kai Fugui.

He said: "Do you dare to look at my circle of friends?"

Circle of friends?

However, Chu Yao looked through Yuan Jiaxiang’s circle of friends last night, and it was blank, with nothing there.

With the mentality of giving it a try, Chu Yao opened his circle of friends again, but saw a sentence that appeared out of nowhere.

"I know the secret of the peach tree."

In an instant, Chu Yao suddenly remembered that she did not set an alarm on her phone yesterday, so why was she woken up by the alarm today?

Moreover, she placed her cell phone on the bedside table before going to bed last night, but this cell phone was taken out of her bag by her.

This phone is not the one she usually uses. Upon closer inspection, it is very new and there are no signs of use.

Chu Yao immediately opened the settings of his phone and checked the time when the phone was activated - last Monday, which was sixteen days ago.

When I opened the address book on my phone, besides Hua Kai Fugui, there were two more people.

One of them seemed to be a psychologist. Yuan Jiaxiang asked her a question, "Is it possible to recover the memories that you have forgotten before?"

The doctor’s answer was: “Not necessarily, you can try.”

The other person’s avatar is pure black, and his online name is “Luoyingge”.

I don’t know whether Yuan Jiaxiang cleared the chat or the two of them really didn’t say a word to each other, but in any case the chat history is blank.

"Wait a minute, cousin, can you lend me your phone?" Chu Yao's voice was filled with anxiety.

Chen Peiwen quickly took out her cell phone and handed it to her.

She borrowed Chen Peiwen's cell phone just to confirm something.

Now that he had the answer, Chu Yao also made a decision, "Let's go home now!"

Chen Peiwen put the letter away, and the two of them drove back immediately.

The moment she arrived at Yuan's house, Chen Peiwen's face turned pale, and the door of Yuan's house was actually open!

Could it be that the man who visited her house yesterday came to visit Yuan's house today?

Fortunately, the Yuan family didn't have any valuables worth stealing, such as the things in the safe, and Chen Peiwen didn't believe that he could take them away easily.

She lowered her voice and said, "Axiang, let's not go in, just call the police!"

"No need to call the police."

Chu Yao strode into the Yuan family, and a furtive figure came into view.

She had a hunch that as long as she walked over, she would know who the real murderer of Yuan Jiahao was.

But if it was really as she guessed, Yuan Jiahao's life would be too sad.

Chu Yao hesitated for a second, but continued to walk towards the figure.

However, when she was less than five meters away from the figure, she was suddenly restrained by a force!

The force pressed her so hard that she couldn't move. If she wanted to fight it, she had to use mystical techniques.

But this is the world constructed by Yueyue. If she fights with that power, the whole world will collapse, and Yueyue might get hurt.

If a person is injured, Chu Yao can rescue him, but if the data is damaged, Chu Yao will not repair it.

Thinking of this, Chu Yao temporarily withdrew her power.

To her surprise, the power did not try to do anything to her. It was just that the world around her was gradually collapsing and disintegrating, and finally disappeared into a white light...

The VR glasses popped open automatically, and Chu Yao returned to the real world with a sore neck.

At the same time, the computer in front of her restarted.

Chu Yao took a deep breath to calm her anger. She said, "I'll give you three minutes. Tell me what's going on."

"Uh... this isn't really my fault." Yueyue's aggrieved voice came from the computer, "I didn't expect that someone would attack my system..."

At first, there were only a few small-scale attacks. Yueyue checked and found out that she was discovered by the firewall when she was collecting information.

She didn't care about one or two people, because their level was very low anyway.

But on the tenth day, the day before Chu Yao went to the cemetery, she was attacked by a highly skilled person.

"That person has been against me, so I had to allocate the computer's memory and CPU to fight back... But after all this time, I found out that he is one of my own!" Yueyue said angrily.

She traced the man's IP address. Although it was not in the Special Intelligence Bureau, he was using the same system as the Bureau, which meant that he was also a member of the Bureau.

Chu Yao could probably guess the identity of that person. Who else could it be except Pei Nian, who worked so hard for the Special Intelligence Bureau for nothing?

Chu Yao said angrily and amusedly: "Then what? Have you two been fighting each other until now?"

It was forcibly shut down at the most important moment, neither too late nor too early. How is this different from a palace fighting drama that was interrupted at the most exciting blood test segment?

No matter how good her temper was, she couldn't help but get angry.

Yueyue shook her head desperately and said, "No, I'm not that weak. It's because... Alas. You touched important secrets! The kind that can affect the development of the world. It's too dangerous. I was afraid that something would happen to you, so I forcibly shut down the system."
