Chapter 82
ocence."
"But unfortunately, he refused to come out and testify."
Ning Jiang frowned. "Why?"
Her face was full of doubt: "Was it because of fear of becoming enemies with Mo\'s Group and Datian Group?"
Luo Hanshang shook his head, "Cheng Tianyang said that he was prepared to help the moment the accident happened. Your father came looking for him, and he agreed without hesitation. He was the one who was going to testify. In addition to him, there was another engineer.
Unfortunately, the matter that was agreed upon the previous day, on the second day, your father had already changed his mind. He told Cheng Tianyang and the other engineer that he hoped that they would not interfere in this matter and that they would never interfere in it again. "
Ning Jiang clenched her fists. "That\'s impossible. Has my dad gone mad? He actually did that?"
Luo Hanshang shook his head: "I also don\'t get it. I can prove my i
ocence, but I didn\'t do it. Does your dad have any difficulties?"
"What kind of difficulties could he have? Is it more difficult than letting himself bear the guilt for the rest of his life?" Ning Jiang unconsciously raised her voice.
She was truly shocked. Her father was not a fool. He clearly had a chance to get rid of this accusation. Why give up?
Seeing Ning Jiang\'s agitation, Luo Hanshang could understand her feelings.
After all, she had been searching for the truth. Even his father knew it.
"I asked Process Tianyang about why your father suddenly changed his mind, but Cheng Tianyang didn\'t say anything. I don\'t think he knows."
Ning Jiang slumped down on the passenger seat and clenched her fists.
Dad, why on earth are you...
You aren\'t even afraid of death, what are you trying to hide?
What kind of huge matter is more important than your life?
Ning Jiang said depressingly, "You can go back first. I\'m going out for a while."
After she finished speaking, she opened the door and got off, ru
ing out of Luo Garden.
Seeing that, Luo Hanshang unbuckled his seat belt, got off the car and caught up with her. He pulled her wrist: "Where to?"
Ning Jiang held onto his wrist, "The other engineer Cheng Tianyang mentioned must be Jiang Shicheng. I want to see Jiang Shicheng."
Seeing the persistence in her eyes, Luo Hanshang grabbed her wrist, "I\'ll send you there."
He took her back to the car and put her back in the passenger seat.
When the car drove to the construction site, Luo Hanshang got off and alarmed the several leaders who were busy working at the construction site.
Including Jiang Shicheng, everyone came to Luo Hanshang.
Luo Hanshang looked at Jiang Shicheng and said, "Master Jiang, Ning Jiang has something to talk to you about. She\'s waiting for you in the car. Get on the car. The rest of you follow me. I need to check the progress of the work."
Luo Hanshang led the group of people away. Jiang Shicheng hesitated for a moment before opening the car door and getting in.
Ning Jiang sat in the front passenger seat while Jiang Shicheng sat in the left rear seat.
His voice was serious as he asked, "Madam, what can I do for you?"
Ning Jiang turned to look at him with a sincere expression. "Uncle Jiang, I have a question for you. Please answer it for me." "Don\'t lie to me."
Jiang Shicheng was a bit helpless: "It can\'t be that they have something to do with Coastal Bay Bridge, right?"
She did not respond, but instead asked, "Six years ago, you knew that my father was wrongly accused, so you pla
ed to come forward with another engineer and testify for my father. In the end, my father went back on his word the next day and made you give up on this matter, right?"
Jiang Shicheng looked at her in surprise, but did not say anything.
But from his expression, Ning Jiang could tell that Cheng Tianyang was not lying. And the engineer who wanted to testify with Cheng Tianyang was Jiang Shicheng, that\'s right.
"Why?" She looked at him in confusion. "Why would my father go back on his word?"
Jiang Shicheng frowned. "You\'re quite capable. You even found a worker."
Ning Jiang shook her head. "I don\'t understand. My father clearly has the chance to get rid of all these. But why didn\'t he do anything?"
Jiang Shicheng sighed. This is his own choice. Others ca
ot control it, nor can they change it. All I can say is that we did our best at that time, so your father might have been in a difficult situation. However, at this point, the dead will not be reborn. I think it\'s time for you to let it go. "
"And then, let my father bear the burden of the crime for the rest of his life, let those who framed my father get away with it?"
She shook her head. "I don\'t want to."
"Ning Jiang," Jiang Shicheng was helpless. "If your dad really wanted to get rid of the accusation, he wouldn\'t be walking on that road."
"That\'s why I can\'t figure it out. I don\'t understand why my father did it. In this world, who didn\'t want to have a clean life? But why would he rather die than tell the truth and defend himself? What exactly did he want? "
Looking at Ning Jiang\'s pained expression, Jiang Shicheng also felt upset. This was her filial piety as a daughter, wanting to get rid of the crime for her father.
He really didn\'t know how to stop it, but he had no choice.
"Ning Jiang, there are some things that don\'t turn out well, but ??" My original intention must have been good. The reason why I\'ve always opposed your search for the truth is simply because this is a secret your father wanted to bring into the grave as a deceased person. Don\'t dig any further, everyone has their own people that they want to protect. "Can you understand what I mean?"
Jiang Shicheng\'s words made Ning Jiang freeze up.
Seeing that Ning Jiang was silent, Jiang Shicheng shook his head and said, "Child, that\'s all I have to say. You should understand, right?"
Ning Jiang didn\'t say anything. Her mind was in a mess.
After Jiang Shicheng said that, he opened the car door and left.
Silence returned to the car as Ning Jiang clenched her hands tightly.
Father chose to keep his mouth shut because he wanted to protect the person he was protecting?
That... Who was the person Father wanted to protect?
In this world, besides her and her mother, who else was the person her father had to protect?
She really couldn\'t think of anyone who was worth her father\'s life and i
ocence to protect.
Guardian?
When she thought of these two words, Ning Jiang suddenly recalled an incident from many years ago.
That year, when she was in her second year of junior high, she, who had always been the top student in her year, suddenly lost her composure during the exam and got third place.
Her mother was very angry. After the family meeting, she came back and scolded her.
At that time, she felt wronged, so she had talked back to her mother.
"Other people\'s moms said that it\'s fine as long as you try your best darling, but why are you only looking at my results and not my hard work?"
At that time, her mother angrily said to her, "Because the results can only reflect your hard work, your grades being reversed is proof that you don\'t have enough effort. Tell me, did you fall in love long ago, or did you put your heart into something else?"
"Mom, how can you be so suspicious of your own daughter?" She was surprised, "How old am I? I wouldn\'t have an early love."
"Your teacher said in class today that your class has signs of early love. Although she didn\'t name you, your grades have dropped. Could this have nothing to do with you?"
She retorted, "Of course it has nothing to do with me. Why do you suspect me so much? You didn\'t have a good grade when you were in school. Did Grandpa and Grandmother ever suspect you like that? "You\'re not good yourself, could it be that it\'s because you\'re in a relationship at school?"
"Why are you so unreasonable?"
"You\'re obviously being unreasonable, yet you randomly put a hat on my head. I\'m not in love. I\'m trying. Mom, I really hate your self-righteousness. "
Because the two of them had argued too fiercely, her mother was finally angered to the point of crying.
After her father came back and heard about this, he called her into his study and sternly asked her, "Do you know why I\'m angry?"
She only thought that her results were not good enough, so she lowered her eyes and pouted. "It\'s because my results were reversed."
"Of course not, everyone has the possibility of their grades falling back, and my father wasn\'t always the best when he was in school, so I allowed you to occasionally perform inappropriately during exams, because my father knew that you had already worked very hard. "Dad is angry because you don\'t know how to respect your elders. Didn\'t you see how angry your mom is because of you?"
She pouted. "I didn\'t say anything."
"What else do you want to say?" His father sincerely said, "Jiang Er, your father doesn\'t expect you to be that powerful, but you must have the basic basics. Is your mother someone you can criticize?"
She was speechless and could only say, "At that time, I was hurt by my mother\'s attitude, and she even suspected that I was in love."
"Your mom suspects you because of your grades. Can\'t you just explain it clearly? Why are you going against your mom? "
"But ??" My grades dropped and I was already sad enough. Mom still wanted to scold me like that. Her attitude is really terrible and I would also get angry. "
"No matter how bad your mom\'s attitude is, you can\'t treat her like this, because she\'s the one who gave birth to you in October. She almost lost most of her life because of you."
Seeing that she didn\'t say anything, his father continued, "Also, your mother is my woman, I won\'t allow anyone to make her angry, I can\'t even make her angry myself, much less you."
She said unhappily, "Then what if mother did the wrong thing?"
"Mom did wrong. Dad will bear the consequences."
She was displeased. "Daddy, you are clearly unreasonable. Mommy did the wrong thing, but I\'m here to be angry with daddy. What kind of thing is this?"
"Even if she is unreasonable, you must admit that your mother is willing to give birth to children for your father, sacrifice her own career for your father, and become a housewife. This is all worth Dad\'s gratitude.
Your mother is my woman, and it is only natural for father to love her and protect her. She is a woman I would risk my life to protect. As my daughter, you must unconditionally respect her and love her, remember? "
