Chapter 265 The culprit
The next moment, she saw Bai Xu walking in with a middle-aged man with a submissive expression. Bian Yue's face changed drastically, and she blurted out subconsciously, "Uncle Song"
The middle-aged man in front of her had a weathered face and looked extremely tired, but Bian Yue still recognized him at a glance. He was Song Ping, a distant relative of the Bian family.
When Bian Yue's father Bian Kai was still alive, he often invited Song Ping to his home for a chat.
Later, although they broke up for unknown reasons and never met again, in Bian Yue's eyes, Song Ping was still her elder.
It can even be said that in the heart of young Bian Yue, Song Ping was quite prestigious.
But when they met today, he turned out to be the principal of the welfare home he was looking for.
"Uncle Song, why are you here?" Bian Yue stood up slowly, the shock in her eyes still not fading. She looked at Song Ping in disbelief. Seeing the latter's embarrassed expression, she frowned and confirmed again: "Are you the principal of the welfare home?"
"Bian Yue." Song Ping finally couldn't speak. He said in a hoarse voice, "This happened a long time ago, and I retired a long time ago. Can you please let me go because your uncle treated you very well when you were a child?"
Bian Yue felt a chill in her heart. She listened to Song Ping's pleading words with a frown on her face. She asked, "When did you become involved with Wang Dan'an? Was this also the reason why you and my father suddenly parted ways?"
"I..." Song Ping was embarrassed. He was silent at first, then walked to the sofa beside him and sat down slowly, his expression heavy: "I don't know how to tell you, Bian Yue, I was not completely wrong in what happened back then. From my perspective, I was helpless."
"What happened back then?" Bian Yue walked up to Song Ping and said seriously, "Uncle, tell me the truth."
"Bian Yue, you are so smart. You must have guessed many things even if I didn't tell you. There is indeed something wrong with this orphanage. The reason why your father and I had a falling out was because of this incident. But! I am not the mastermind behind this!" Song Ping said anxiously: "You have to believe your uncle. Your uncle is not the kind of person who goes against his conscience. If I didn't care about my conscience, I would definitely be trying to get something from the tiger with Wang Dan'an, but I didn't!"
Song Ping spoke so earnestly, but Bian Yue felt cold in her heart.
She looked at Song Ping calmly for a long time, then said softly, "Then you tell me, I'll listen to your explanation."
"That was a long time ago. Back then..."
As Song Ping spoke, a mysterious corner of an old story was revealed.
Many years ago, at the Bian family, Song Ping, as Bian Kai's most trusted right-hand man, completed all the details of the cooperation between the Bian family and the Li family for him.
It was at this time that Bian Kai accidentally discovered that the welfare home under the name of the Li family had serious problems. Those helpless children who were nominally sent there for adoption actually became gifts between powerful businessmen after they grew up.
This kind of thing is extremely embarrassing and cruel, and it is a dirty thing that cannot be put on the table. However, Bian Kai dug it up and questioned Li Tingmo about the whole story. "You know your father's character. He is a man who cannot tolerate any injustice. When he heard about these things, he had a serious quarrel with Li Tingmo. In order to clear himself from the orphanage, Li Tingmo sent me out to take the blame." Song Ping sighed, his expression becoming more and more serious.
"I am nominally a member of the Bian family, but I was too young at the time and accepted many benefits from Li Tingmo, so I was forced to obey him. In the final analysis, I was working for Li Tingmo. Since he asked me to take the blame, I have no right to refuse." Song Ping paused and said, "Originally, I could have regained your father's forgiveness, but something else happened."
"What's up"
"At that time, someone stole the welfare home's information and left. Li Tingmo was afraid that the truth would be revealed, so he asked me to get the information back. I originally wanted to use some money to get it back, but Li Tingmo sent me to find the person while making him fall from a tall building. When I rushed over, the person was already dead." Song Ping's expression showed fear, his pupils shrank, his body trembled uncontrollably, and he looked at Bian Yue, "The person died in front of us just like that."
Bian Yue felt a strong sense of suffocation. Her expression was equally grim. She followed Song Ping's words and asked, "Who is this person?"
Song Ping's face became paler and paler. He hugged his head in pain, his eyes bloodshot. "That man is a teacher. I don't know his specific identity, but I know him. He is Miss Bian Shu's lover. Miss Bian Shu eloped with him that year. Miss Bian Shu was only 19 years old. She watched that man fall down the stairs in front of her and died in front of her."
Bian Yue felt cold all over, anger burning in her heart. She stood up suddenly, "So, Sister Bian Shu went crazy because of this? Song Ping! Do you have any conscience? How can you abuse your power to oppress others like this!"
"I'm not the one who uses my power to oppress others! It's Li Tingmo! Miss Bian, I'm just following orders!"
"If you are an accomplice to a traitor, don't you have any responsibility? Song Ping, I really thought you had some unspeakable secrets, but these are not your difficulties! You obeyed Li Tingmo for the sake of profit, and helped him do all the evil things. Why do you think you are innocent?"
Bian Yue looked at Song Ping's embarrassed face, clenched her fists, and spoke in silence, "Let me ask you again, my sister became mentally ill and was sent to the Li family's sanatorium. Was it you who did all this?"
"It's me." Song Ping lowered his head in regret, "But I have no choice! Bian Shu already knows everything! I can't let her go back to the Bian family to accuse her! I can only send her to a nursing home! Li Tingmo promised me that he would give Bian Shu the best care!"
At this point, Song Ping raised his head in panic and walked to Bian Yue's side anxiously, "Bian Yue! How is your sister? Is she feeling better? She..."
Bian Yue sneered, angrily broke free from Song Ping's hand, and said every word in an extremely cold voice, "You are not worthy of mentioning her!"
Song Ping's face flashed with disappointment. He smiled bitterly, his old face full of pain. "Do you think I haven't been sad for so many years? Bian Yue! Bian Shu is also my relative. Of course I want her to be well!"
"You killed the person she loved the most, you and Li Tingmo! You are all murderers!" Bian Yue shouted angrily, "Bai Xu! Take him to the police station! Go now!"
Bai Xu had been standing at the door. When he heard the voice coming in, he made a "please" gesture to Song Ping, "Mr. Song, come with me."
