《Love's Vicissitudes: A Pursuit of Beloved Wife》C31. Reveal the Truth
Advertisement
Maybe it is because of the excessive fright, or some other reasons, Yuexi raises her hand high, and gives Li Fengjue a slap.
The crisp voice makes Liu Rui, who comes here with Li Fengjue, startled. He stands aside, not knowing what to do now.
"You ..." Before Li Fengjue finishes his words, Yuexi raises her hand, trying to slap him again.
But this time, Li Fengjue reaches out and grabs her wrist.
"Don’t push your luck!"
Yuexi's eyes are full of tears, but she bites her lower lip tightly so as not to let herself cry out.
Even though she is now held by Li Fengjue, she can’t stop the trembling of her body.
If he had come a little late, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
The man who is knocked down to the ground wants to slip away, but he is kicked down on the ground again by Liu Rui, and now he is unable to move at all.
He begs for mercy, "I won’t do it anymore. I was asked to do this by someone. It is really none of my business. I didn't do anything to her ..."
Li Fengjue's deep eyes glow with a cold chill, and he glances down at the man, and says coldly, "Liu Rui, you are in charge now. If he can still hold things with his hands for the rest of his life, you know the consequences."
Liu Rui nods his head.
The man has already been scared to death, holding Li Fengjue's legs and begging, but he is kicked away fiercely. Then Li Fengjue holds Yuexi out of the dark and damp room.
Smelling the familiar smell on the man, Yuexi gradually loses consciousness.
When she wakes up again, she is in the car, sitting beside Chen Ying.
Yuexi frowns, feeling sore all over her body, and utters a gurgling sound in her mouth.
Li Fengjue takes a glance at her, and he sees her pale face, which makes his frown deepen, but he doesn't say a word.

Feeling his sight, Yuexi makes a cold poker face, gritting her teeth, and does not speak, either.
Chen Ying observes that the atmosphere between the two is strange, and she hurriedly asks about Yuexi's injury.
"I'm fine, I just need some rest."
"You really scared me to death. Don't come to Fengdu ever again. It's good to be an ordinary citizen." Chen Ying is implying something.
"I want to live a peaceful life, too. The tree wants to be quiet but the wind is blowing. "
Since meeting Li Fengjue, her life has never been peaceful, instead it is full of accidents, causing her suffering and almost making her losing life.
This is just the beginning and she doesn't know what will happen next.
Chen Ying's eyes are a little erratic, and she seems to have something to say.
Yuexi looks at her in puzzlement, "What happened to you?"
Hesitating, she shakes her head, "It's nothing ... it's nothing ..."
Chen Ying has always been outspoken. Her reaction tells Yuexi that there must be something. Yuexi looks at her, puzzled.
Chen Ying hesitates, halting, and then says, "It's about your father, I found something ..."
"My dad?" Yuexi feels like her heart suddenly sinks.
She believes that her father is absolutely unlikely to embezzle and take bribes, and the so-called fall from the floor also makes her feel very strange. Before now, she always thought that Ling Yun had done it, and that is the reason why she let Chen Ying investigate secretly. But now she looks at Chen Ying’s expression and feels that things are not that simple. .
Chen Ying nods, and her eyes turn to Li Fengjue, whose side face is dim in the light, and they are not sure if he has heard their talk.
Yuexi is in clear mind now, and she reaches out to hold her hand, lowering her voice and saying, "Let's go back home and talk about it."

Obviously the only two hours’ journey is distressful for Yuexi now.
She is only one step away from the truth. Her father died in a doubtful way. She can’t let it go. These days, she stays with Li Fengjue, partly because he has saved her life, on the other hand, she wants to use Li Fengjue’s identity to meet some people from upper class so as to investigate her father's death.
Thinking of this, a bitter smile rises from the corners of her mouth.
After all, they are just using each other. So, how can she blame Li Fengjue?
The car stops in front of the Bai family mansion. Yuexi pulls Chen Ying, ready to leave. Chen Ying glances back at Li Fengjue who is sitting in the car. She feels somewhat embarrassed, "you..."
Yuexi's hands clench tightly into a fist, and her lips are closed. Those words of gratitude come to her mouth but they just could not be spoken out.
Just at that moment, the car moves. Li Fengjue goes away with a cold face.
Night is dark. Everything is quiet. Watching the car disappear in the dark, Yuexi's clenched palms slowly spread out, and her bright eyes show a sense of loss.
When they enter the house, Yuexi couldn't wait to ask, "What on earth did you find? Is it related to Li Fengjue?"
"Listen, no matter what you hear next, don't think about revenge. It's definitely not that simple."
Is it really related to Li Fengjue?
"Before uncle died, he once had some commercial contacts with Xu family. Originally, Xu family was going bankrupt because of a shortage of capital and the failure of technology listing. However, after the death of uncle, Xu reached a cooperation agreement with a rival company. The so-called corruption and bribery indirectly caused Bai ’s consortium to lose credibility, and the evidence was brought forward by that opposing company ... "
Chen Ying looks at Yuexi and purses her lips. "Although there is no evidence to say that it was made by Xu family, but if there is no support of such a big boss like Xu family, other companies would not dare to do so! "
Yuexi is completely lost, and her entire brain goes blank. Her eyes are staring at the front. "Then what is Ling Yun’s role in it? He had appeared in my house before my father died. So does he have something to do with it?"
Chen Ying shows a heavy look, and she takes a deep breath, saying, "I investigated him and found out that before the death, Ling Yun's bank account had received a 500,000 yuan’s deposit. He could not have any other income. But I couldn’t find out who gave him the money. As far as I guess, it is probably ... "
"Xu Family!" Yuexi lifts her head fiercely. Her eyes turn red, and a bit of hatred flashes under her eyes.
"It is Xu family who caused my father’s death and my family's destruction, right?"
Seeing that Yuexi’s expression is a bit strange, Chen Ying takes her hands and explains,
"But we have no evidence, and even if it proves that it was made by Xu family, it is a big
and rich family, so we are unable to fight them. If you want to revenge now, you are seeking your own death! "
Yuexi is biting her lip tightly. Looking at the empty room, her heart burns like a fire. Her father's voice and smile flicker in front of her eyes, but she could never speak to him again.
"I will definitely find evidence, and I will bring down Xu family and take back everything that belongs to my Bai family!"
