Chapter 2204: The Truth Is Out

Editor: Atlas Studios

Old Master Bian had so many children but they completely disregarded his wake and did not mourn at the funeral hall. Instead, all of them came to Qiao Mei’s house to cause trouble. This was simply inhumane!

“What is wrong with this family! The old man has lived his entire life and they don’t even care about his funeral!”

“Yet they say that they’re filial children! It must be all lies!”

“Beasts! A bunch of assholes! Blinded by greed for money!”

Initially, everyone pitied the Bian family members, but now, they were all pointing fingers instead. The Bian family members could no longer sit still. They could not wait to enter Qiao Mei’s courtyard and avoid the scrutiny of all these people.

“There are too many of you. Only those who can make decisions should stay behind. The rest of you and the juniors should go back to the wake,” Xia Wen said.

Bian Ke smiled and was about to turn around and leave. This was such a rare opportunity. Once she went home and took all her money, she would immediately go to another city! She would make sure that the Xia and Bian families would never be able to find her again!

“Hey! Bian Ke, don’t leave! After all, you’re the main party involved and we still have to confront each other!” Qiao Mei said as she pointed at Bian Ke’s back in the crowd.

Most of the Bian family members left, leaving only Bian Jian, Bian Guo and Bian Ke behind. The district director and Old Mr. Sun were also present. Not long after, Zou Ming and his colleagues arrived at Qiao Mei’s house.

“Since all the people involved in the case are here, we can start now. We’ll record the entire process as evidence. No matter what the outcome is, you’ll receive the appropriate punishment!” Zou Ming said.

Qiao Mei gestured at Bian Ke and asked, “Have you brought the ginseng?”

“I have it with me.” Old Mr. Sun took out a box from his bag and placed it on the table beside Qiao Mei.

Qiao Mei only needed to take one look to know that the ginseng did not belong to her. The box was so crude-looking that she would not even use it as firewood in her house, so how could she have used something like that to store her ginseng?

“This doesn’t belong to me at all.” Qiao Mei stared at Bian Ke and said, “Tell me, where did the real ginseng go? What exactly is going on?”

“This is what you gave me! Don’t try to deny it!” Bian Ke braced herself and said.

At this point, there was no room for her to retract what she previously said. She had to insist that this ginseng came from Qiao Mei’s house. Otherwise, she would implicate Brother He!

“Tell me in detail, how did you buy this ginseng?” Zou Ming asked.

“We spent 80,000 dollars to buy a 30-year-old ginseng from Qiao Mei and then…” Before Bian Jian could finish speaking, Qiao Mei burst out laughing, making everyone feel a little disrupted.

“Buy a 30-year-old ginseng from me for 80,000 dollars? Is that your fantasy? The ginseng I sold to Bian Ke is 10 years old and she only spent 60,000 dollars,” Qiao Mei said.

“You’re talking nonsense! It’s clearly 80,000 dollars! The Bian family siblings pooled our money together!” Bian Guo said.

“Why should I spout nonsense? Do I look like I’m short of money? I am telling the truth. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Bian Ke. I think only Bian Ke knows the truth of the entire matter,” Qiao Mei said.

Bian Jian turned around and stared at Bian Ke as he asked, “Is she telling the truth?”

“Father! You have to believe me!” Bian Ke said in a panic.

“Where did the remaining 20,000 dollars go! You actually dare to pocket the family’s money! You’re getting quite bold!” Bian Guo rolled up his sleeves and slapped Bian Ke forcefully, causing Bian Ke to feel faint and her face to instantly swell up.

The two men beat up Bian Ke together. Xia Wen hurriedly asked Xiao Zhuang to pull the Bian brothers away. If they continued beating Bian Ke up like this, she would be crippled! If that happened, they would not be able to get anything out of her and it would be a waste of time.

“I think I know someone who makes fake ginseng. This person is very famous in the black market and I have many old patients who have been tricked. I’ve also told the Bian family about this before,” Old Mr. Sun said as he looked at the Bian family members in disgust.

“Where is that person?” Zou Ming asked.

Old Mr. Sun immediately wrote down the address. Zou Ming quickly made a call to his staff to make an arrest and it did not take long for the man who made the fake ginseng to be brought to Qiao Mei’s house.

“Huang Ben! Raise your head and take a good look. Is there anyone here who bought ginseng from you two days ago?” Zou Ming said.

“It’s her! It’s this woman! She bought a fake 30-year-old ginseng from me! She gave me 5,000 dollars! It’s true! I won’t dare to lie!” Huang Ben said as he pointed at Bian Ke.

“It’s really you! You evil creature! How dare you poison your grandfather with fake ginseng!” Bian Jian said angrily.

“I didn’t do it on purpose! I didn’t know that the ginseng was poisonous!” Bian Ke knelt on the floor and said fearfully.

“But you know that it’s fake. You clearly know that it’s fake, but you still let your grandfather eat it. You’re really your grandfather’s ‘good’ granddaughter,” Qiao Mei said.
