Chapter 46 The evidence

It was three days later that I got that voice recorder back from Duo. She was very nervous and kept telling me that I couldn’t let Jacky know that it was her who started the fire. She couldn’t lose her job here. In fact, I was in a dilemma. If I wanted to tell Jacky the truth, then Duo was bound to be involved. Otherwise, Jacky would never believe me. However, if Jacky knew that Duo had something to do with this event, I was not sure whether she would be punished by Jacky or not. I had promised Duo that I won’t get her implicated. Even though she did make some mistakes, she wasn’t the mastermind. Since I had given her my word, then I couldn’t fail to keep the promise. When I turned on the recorder, Nan Lin's voice was very clear: “Duo, why is Kiki Yao still living in Jacky's house when something like this has happened?” Then, it was Duo’s voice: “Miss. Lin, I have no idea about it too. But I’m sure that Mr. Hua and Mrs Hua do not talk with each other at all.” “Don’t call her Mrs. Hua before me. How could a person like her be called Mrs. Hua? Why would Jacky make such a decision? How could he allow Kiki Yao staying in the house after knowing that she started the fire?” It could be judged from Nan’s voice that she hated Kiki very much. “Miss. Lin, it’s you who ordered me set the fire.” Duo was a very smart girl in fact. With such a sentence, it was easy for people to understand the ins and outs of this fire. Without this sentence, it was impossible to count the recorder as direct evidence. “I’ve told you so many times that you should forget it. You should tell yourself that it’s Kiki who started the fire. If you keep telling yourself like this, then you would gradually think that it had nothing to do with you. It was Kiki who did it. This is called psychological suggestion. It's like I keep reminding myself that it's Lin.... " Speaking of this, Nan Lin suddenly stopped talking. However, this sentence made me feel odd. What did she keep reminding herself? What’s the next content? It’s obvious that her next words were of great importance, but she didn’t say it. “Do you understand?？” Nan raised her voice again. This sentence was for Duo. "I understand. Miss. Lin.” Duo replied. “You can go back now. As long as you follow my order, I will not treat you badly. Anything happens to Kiki, please report to me in time.” Nan said. “Ok. Miss. Lin.” The content of the recording was clear enough to show that it was Nan Lin who was behind this fire. In fact, this kind of thing can be easily figured out by asking the police to intervene in the whole case. But Jacky would not call the police. In his view, this kind of thing was shameful and it was not good to be known by others “Thank you, Duo. Thanks for your trust and help.” I said. Duo looked frightened. “Don't say that, madam. At the very beginning, it was me who did something wrong to you. I shouldn’t have let you bear my burden. This was what I should do. I should make a clear confession to Mr. Hua and tell him the truth. However, if anything happened to me, no one would take care of my mother. Mrs. Hua, please let go of me.” “Don't worry. Since I’ve ever promised you, then I won’t have you be implicated.” Even though I told her like this, I was not sure whether I can do it or not. I don’t know how to deal with it. How can I let everyone know the true character of Nan Lin and keep Duo out of punishment at the same time? Later, Jacky came back. He still ignored me and treated me as air. Before, he looked at me indifferently, but now he turned a blind eye to me. At night, I coaxed Lucas to sleep. Then, I made a cup of coffee and came to Jacky's study room. Jacky has a habit. No matter how late the night, as long as he still works, he will drink very strong coffee, totally ignoring the effect of the drink. In order to create a good atmosphere of conversation, I had to please him first. At least, I needed to make sure that I would not be kicked outside by him. His eyes moved from the papers on the desk and he looked at me. In the dim yellow desk lamp light, his face was a little dreamy. I don't know why I would think such a scene ever happened before. “Not everyone can make coffee, and not every coffee made by everyone would be accept by me. Get out. " Jacky Hua said coldly. I had expected that he would not be nice to me, but I didn't expect that he would say such harsh words to me. I was a little angry. But I had to put up with him. If I wanted to tell him the truth clearly, I had to make him pleased to listen to me. “Although I did not make the coffee very well now, I will keep trying to make it better. Thank you for taking care of me and Lucas.” I said pleasantly. But he just flatly answered me with two words: “Get out!” I was so angry. But I had to bear it. “I want to tell you something. Would you please give me a few minutes?” I tried not to be angry with him, keeping my voice gentle. He pointed to the clock on the wall, saying: “Three minutes.” “Five minutes.” I pretended to be miserable. “Four minutes” He said. “It was not me who set the fire.” I went straight to the key point. He didn’t reply, only lowering his head and reading the document. “Before telling you this thing, I hope that you can promise me a request.” I said restlessly. I was restless because he didn't like me at the moment. He would dislike me even more as I put forward such a requirement. Just like what I thought. He didn’t life his head, and said: “If you do not want to tell me, you can go way. How dare you make a requirement?” “If you do not agree with me, you will never have the chance to know the truth of something. You will be kept in the unknown all the time. However, those who know the truth will ridicule that you’re a fool.” “Pah!” Jacky clapped his hands heavily on the table, “Do you want to tell me or not? If you don’t, get out!” “If you don’t agree with me, I will never tell you the truth. Then, others will joke you all the time.” I wasn’t confident at all, but I had to stick to it. “I hate being threatened!” “I don’t mean to threaten you. I hope that you can let someone off. What I’m going to tell you would involve a person. I hope that you can let go of this person when you know the truth. Of course, it’s not me.” “I can forgive anyone, but you.” Jacky said coldly. I was very happy about this result. “You have agreed just now! I heard you! I heard you by myself! You are the Fourth Brother, so you need to live up to your word!” “Will you say it or not? If you do not say, get out now!” Jacky thought that he was beguiled by me. So, he was getting angrier. I thought it was the right time to tell him the truth. So, I didn’t care about his shouting, just taking out the recorder and played it. When he was listening to the radio, Jacky's face began to look ugly. Of course, he could hear that was Nan Lin's voice. After listening, Jacky’s face was blue and his eyes were fierce “How did you get the tape?” I was afraid that he would beat me, I was more afraid that he would blame Duo. I had already promised Duo that I would not make her implicated. “Duo’s mother was paralyzed and she needed lots of money. Besides, she thought Nan Lin was the victim, so she helped Nan did it. You promised that you won’t punish her. She was kind-hearted and she was deceived by others.” I said anxiously. Jacky came toward me, gripping my throat “I was asking how did you get that tape?” I felt a little breathless, struggling and saying, “Nan Lin and Duo have been in contact all the time. It was Duo who helped me record it. I just wanted to find out the truth ... You let me go ...” Jacky loosened his hand. And he suddenly picked up the recorder and threw it on the ground. And then overthrew the table lamp down to the ground. The only light source in the study was the desk lamp. When the desk lamp was overturned by him, it turned black in the room. Jacky strode out. When he passed me, I could feel that he was in a terrible mood. I guessed that he must be sad. It turned out his beloved one had been lying to him all the time. When I walked out, I heard the sound of the car starting from downstairs. Jacky's car engine made an angry roar and rushed out of the villa.
