"You said that Jiang Guanyu went to look for that crystal necklace? At that time, with my mother's weak strength, how could she possibly go against the Jiang Family? If the actual necklace were in her hand, it wouldn't have taken long for Jiang Guanyu to find it. As far as I remembered, in three or four years before she committed suicide, she had obviously been carrying the fake one with her. Why did she suddenly give it to me?"

"It's true that your mother was hunted a few times back then, but your mother was very vigilant. During that time, she often changed jobs, took you and Yijun away with her, and didn't last more than two months in each place. People say she's cunning. In the last few years, she's gone to too many places to keep both of you safe."

"At that time, those people forgot about me. They forgot that I was locked up in the United States by Old Man Xian. When I was sent there, the crystal necklace was temporarily kept by your mother. I was only imprisoned because my madness was too serious. The staff there only searched my body once before I was locked up and none often touched me. Until Zhou Qingling ran out of options when you were three years old. She asked for help from her friend in the United States, got a fake ID, and came to the United States without those people's knowledge to visit me."

Jia Zhenzhen turned around and looked at Jiang Ruolan again, continuing faintly, "Later when Zhou Qingling returned, since the necklace could not be found, Old Man Xian and Jiang Guanyu stopped looking. As long as she died, no matter who gets the necklace from now on, it won't be used as evidence. That's right, as long as it's not in Zhou Qingling's hands, no one will know about money embezzlement. "

"So they started to change the target. Actually, before that, I had guessed what was going on. So I pretended to be crazy to save my life. After they made sure that I was really crazy, they started to handle Zhou Qingling. No matter what she did to save herself, she still can't run away from the Jiang Family and the Xian Family."

Jia Zhenzhen sighed, "Zhou Qingling ran away for half a year but never thought that Old Man Xian would use her two children as a threat. Either think of a way to disappear, or he will take them."

"Because she saw with her own eyes what Old Man Xian had done to protect Xian Family many years ago, she feared he would endanger her children, and in the end …" Jia Zhenzhen paused. "She temporarily avoided visiting me, who was far away in the United States and threatened Jiang Guanyu to raise her two children. At that time, Jiang Guanyu knew that I had given birth to a son for the Xian Family, but he did not know that Yijun, who was always by Zhou Qingling's side, was my son."

"Jiang Guanyu tried to persuade your mother to be his backer during the six months before you were born. Zhou Qingling had temporarily submitted to him because of me and the necklace at that time. Then, after separating with her later on, Jiang Guanyu thought Yijun was her child because he (Yijun) had been malnourished when he was young, so it was hard to tell if he was born two and a half years old or even three years old. The exact date of his birth is uncertain, not to mention Zhou Qingling's tragic death back then. Besides, Jiang Guanyu did not care about it at all."

Jiang Ruolan didn't know about this because she only knew that Jiang Yijun wasn't her brother when she was little. At the time, her mother said she adopted him from the orphanage, so she (Jiang Ruolan) believed it.

Even now, with all the facts laid in front of her, she still wasn't sure. Although Jia Zhenzhen's words didn't have a big loophole, should she believe her completely?

It wasn't that Jiang Ruolan couldn't tell that Jia Zhenzhen's every word was filled with hatred. Although she looked calm on the outside, Jiang Ruolan was sure that she had been thinking about how to take revenge for more than 21 years.

Jiang Ruolan had thought that she would be able to escape from this matter. She had thought that she would be able to find some crucial point that she wouldn't be involved in this case and that twenty-one something years of love and hate. She thought that she would be able to find the best way to face the situation once she had cleared her mind.

But now, because of whatever had happened to her mother, she couldn't escape from it.

Xian Family and Jiang Family… Both of them were involved in her mother's death.

Jiang Ruolan closed her eyes and frowned slightly but didn't say anything for a long time.

Was this the truth that Xian Zihao didn't want her to know?

Jiang Ruolan finally understood.

"When Senior Zhou left the country, was it because of Old Man Xian?" Jiang Ruolan turned around to ask.

Jia Zhenzhen shook her head. "No. No matter how capable Old Man Xian is, it wasn't easy to suppress Senior Zhou, who had great power in the country at the time. However, because of Old Man Xian's arrogance and influence in the government, many things were resolved just like that. Did you know what Old Man Xian offered to Senior Zhou in order for him to shut his mouth? His business."

"What do you mean is Senior Zhou's business at that time was something grandpa bargained with him?" Jiang Ruolan asked in surprise.

"A bargaining chip Old Man Xian held in his hand."

"Besides his rank, Senior Zhou and Old Man Xian are of equal strength, but since Old Man Xian is old, he left the army earlier than Senior Zhou, so there is no chance for him (Old Man Xian) to climb up too high."

"To put it bluntly, Old Man Xian was one of Senior Zhou's benefactors in the army that year. If the truth of whatever he had done were exposed one day, Senior Zhou would be the person to enjoy the benefit. Although men love power, Senior Zhou was very smart at that time and had gotten what he deserved. He might as well resign early and be relaxed."

After Jia Zhenzhen completed her sentence, Jiang Ruolan finally understood.

No wonder when Senior Zhou returned home, Old Man Xian didn't like to interact with him too much. Although both of them had a lot of interaction, they only pretended to be polite on the surface.

If it weren't for this layer, Old Man Xian would have supported the relationship between Zhou Shufen and Xian Zihao some time ago.

Old Man Xian was neither cold nor warm to Zhou Shufen, and he was even more polite to Senior Zhou on the surface.

As expected, everything was on Old Man Xian.

However, it had been many years since this incident happened. No matter how big the case was, it had already passed the official period of investigation. Right now, it was only a legal framework and a historical case.

It also caused Jiang Ruolan's life to once again fall into disarray, and she didn't know how to react to this matter.

"Auntie Jia, are you here for revenge?" Jiang Ruolan asked softly.

Jia Zhenzhen looked at the seemingly calm Jiang Ruolan, who was standing in front of her. She was sizing up her expression and mood, trying to figure out her attitude.

"You didn't come back just to tell me the truth, did you? How do you plan to take revenge? Are you going to involve me in this matter?" Jiang Ruolan's eyes were staring straight at her without blinking. "Are you trying to make me a pawn for your revenge and used me to turn the Xian Family upside down?"
