Chapter 1340 Backfire

Han Wanling was thinking up a plan in her head while trying her best to suppress the anxiety and disgust she felt from showing on her face. Compared to how impulsive she had been before getting locked up, she was much calmer now.

Han Wanling could not just give the woman some money. She had to make sure that the person in front of her was really one of the kidnappers’ wives.

Also, she had to think of a solution that was going to solve the problem once and for all. “I can give you some money, but what proof do you have that you are his wife?”

“I have our wedding photo…” The woman hurriedly took a worn-out man’s wallet from her pocket and picked a photo out of it. “Here! Look! This is us!”

Han Wanling looked at the people in the picture, confirming that the man was indeed one of the kidnappers. She then raised her head to double confirm. After making sure that the woman was indeed the wife, she felt a sense of relief.

The reason she felt relief was that the woman only wanted money from her. It would be a totally different story if the person who had the video wanted to use it for something else.

Suddenly, Han Wanling froze as she thought of something. She recalled from the video that had been shown on TV that only Qiao Ximin and she had been recorded. The part that showed the kidnappers had been deleted.

Other than the people present, no one knew that there had been a group of kidnappers.

Even if the woman was the wife of one of the kidnappers, they would never let her have something that important.

Han Wanling coldly stared at the woman and gripped her arm. “Who gave you the video? The video that was shown to the public only has me and Qiao Ximin on it. Your husband was not in the video. Who gave you the video?”

If Han Wanling’s guess about someone calling the shots from behind the scenes was correct, then her situation was much worse than she had originally thought.

If this video was made public, then the press conference that she had held with Qiao Ximin would backfire at them.

Not only would she go back behind bars, but the Qiao family would then attack them.

“I…” The woman hesitated for a while before saying, “After my husband died, we had a hard time living. One of his friends is good with computers, a hacker…? He recovered the video and told me all about what you asked my husband to do for you. He told me that I could use the video to ask for money from you. When I saw you saying that the kidnapping was just an act, I knew you were lying right away. I even have the video to prove that you were the one who asked my husband to kidnap Ms. Qiao. You are the one who caused his death. How can you lie about that?”

“Where is that video now?” Han Wanling frowned. It wasn’t a surprise to her that a hacker had existed among the group of kidnappers. What she had not expected was for such a thing to arise out of nowhere.

The woman took a wrinkled photo out of her pocket and said, “The video is not with me, but I have a screenshot of it. This is where you talked with my husband. If I take this to the police, then people will know that what you said at the press conference was a lie. I wouldn’t mind reporting you to the police since my husband is dead anyway, but you, Ms. Han, you are different. You are rich, and you got to walk out of jail completely unharmed while my husband is dead. Oh, my poor husband! What should I do?”

Han Wanling took a deep breath and tried to keep her body from trembling as she attempted to calm herself down.

“Fine! Stop wailing!” Han Wanling kicked the woman in the shins. “You only want money, right? I can give you the money, but with one condition.”

“What is it?”
