It's not impossible, but Chi Yue felt it wasn't that simple.
Maybe when Qiao Rui'an "became foolish," it was just a chess game that the Qiao family's uncle had been setting up for a long time. He might have already thought about overturning the case later on.
He pretended to sign a letter of understanding, no longer pursuing Qiao Dongyang's responsibility, which not only pleased Grandma Qiao but also gave people the illusion that he was considerate and loyal. Moreover, even if he had sent Qiao Dongyang to jail at that time, by angering Old Mrs. Qiao, he might have gained nothing. It was better to keep a low profile and wait for an opportunity.
Old Mrs. Qiao was getting older and would not live forever. He had Qiao Rui'an play the fool, then "cured" him at the right time, seizing the opportunity to rise again and strike.
For a huge family fortune, it's not strange that someone would scheme for years with all their might.
However, just imagining it, Chi Yue felt a chill all over.
