CHAPTER 266: CHAPTER 266

Song Ping turned his head in shock towards Bian Yue, clearly not expecting Bian Yue to send him to the police station. His voice trembled even more fiercely, "Bian Yue... I am your uncle..."

"So, should I just pretend nothing happened? Song Ping, the one who has lost her mind is my sister. The things you and Li Tingmo did, how could I possibly let you get away with them!" Bian Yue said angrily, "I originally thought that Li Tingmo was just unscrupulously cunning in the business world, but I didn’t expect that you would actually have blood on your hands!"

"That person is already dead! He jumped on his own, it has nothing to do with us!" Song Ping, seeing Bai Xu approaching him, couldn’t care about his dignity anymore and knelt down with a thump, "Bian Yue! Bian Yue! Remembering how your uncle treated you well when you were little and even held you, let uncle leave! You are trying to drive me to death!"

"Save those words for the police, I don’t want to hear another word!" Bian Yue’s face remained cold as she turned to Bai Xu, "Keep it quiet, don’t disturb Li Tingmo and Wang Dan’an. I need to settle things with them properly!"

Without a word, Bai Xu’s expression complexly watched Bian Yue. Outside, several bodyguards came in. They dragged Song Ping away, who was still pleading bitterly to Bian Yue.

And Bai Xu stood still, the large door shut behind him, muffling the voice of Song Ping.

Bai Xu looked at Bian Yue, still furious, and said indifferently, "Miss Bian, you must understand, sending Song Ping to the police station now serves no purpose. The words just now were only Song Ping’s side of the story. You have no evidence proving they have blood on their hands or that this welfare institute has engaged in any misconduct."

Bian Yue’s fury was unabated as she coldly sat down, her gaze toward Bai Xu suddenly sharp, and her sneer deepened as she coldly asked, "Do you all know? Li Tingmo killed Bian Shu’s boyfriend, everyone knows, right?"

"Mr. Li doesn’t know. It’s only recently that I have fully taken over all information from Feng Cheng, and I found out these details. Bian Yue, you should understand, if Mr. Li knew his father was involved in a killing, he wouldn’t take you to meet Bian Shu."

Bian Yue pressed her fingers lightly against the corners of her eyes, her eyes closed, scrutinizing the truth in Bai Xu’s words. Lifting her eyes again, her expression slightly calmed, "Which side are you on now? Are you planning to tell Li Tingmo?"

"What do you want to do?"

Bian Yue’s voice was cold and slow, "It was originally just a business matter, but now Feng Cheng has become part of the Bian Group, and I am already the chairman. I wasn’t planning to pursue this further, but now, I know that Li Tingmo has blood on his hands!"

"So, you want him to pay the price?"

"Shouldn’t he?"

"He should." Bai Xu smiled gently, his face calm as he looked at Bian Yue, his voice smooth, "If you insist on doing this, I will help you."

Bian Yue was taken aback for a moment, watching Bai Xu warily, "Why help me?"

"Mr. Li instructed that your requests must be fulfilled unconditionally, I dare not forget."

Bian Yue fell silent for a moment, the coldness on her face solidified, she looked at Bai Xu, and then her voice softened, "You can go, I want to be alone for a while."

In the night of Xiangjiang, heavy rain poured down, drenching everything.

Bian Shu had been in a deep sleep, not knowing how long she had slept. She was afraid of rainy days, as the rain was a trigger for her memories, easily taking her back to that rainy day.

In her dreams, she was 19 years old.

It was exactly one year since she had kidnapped Ji Anshen. She took him to a remote rural area, forcing him to fall in love with her.

Bian Shu wasn’t a kind person; in fact, Bian Kai always said that she was more fit to be the leader of the Bian Group.

She was ruthless and composed, always clear about her goals, allowing no deviations.

Kidnapping Ji Anshen, taking him away from Xiangjiang, keeping him close, ensuring their lives revolved only around each other until Ji Anshen fell in love with her, then taking him back to the Bian family, persuading Bian Kai to agree to their wedding.

To ensure the plan’s success, she would get pregnant with Ji Anshen’s child before returning to the Bian family.

Of course, as a trade-off, she would give up the control of the Bian family.

This was the plan she set for herself, flawless with no loopholes.

A barter of interests, a weighing of options, that was what she was good at.

But Ji Anshen didn’t love her.

He always looked at her like one would look at a child, saying, "Bian Shu, haven’t you had enough trouble? Let’s go back if you have, I still have important things to do."

"Important things?" She questioned him, her tone tinged with anger, "Your important things, are they to find Jiang Yao and spend sweet time together? Ji Anshen, Jiang Yao doesn’t even like you!"

Each time, Ji Anshen looked at her helplessly, his expression one that would make Bian Shu sad even in her dreams.

He looked at her, so sorrowful.

Until that rainy night, they still argued about Jiang Yao. This time, Ji Anshen earnestly asked her, "Xiao Shu, why do you think Jiang Yao doesn’t like me?"

"Why wouldn’t it be? It’s because only I truly like you!" She grasped his hands, so aggrieved, pleading softly, "Ji Anshen, look at me, it’s been a year, maybe Jiang Yao is even married by now, just look at me, we can be together, you can have anything you want."

Ji Anshen looked at her, his eyes gentle yet resigned as he said, "If Jiang Yao really gets married, I’ll marry you, okay?"

That moment, Bian Shu thought she must have heard wrongly.

She watched him dumbfoundedly, saying softly, "Ji Anshen, hit me."

His eyebrows smiled, "Why would I hit you."

"I must be dreaming," she said.

But Ji Anshen replied, "No, Xiao Shu, if Jiang Yao really gets married, I’ll marry you."

Bian Shu, a person so proud, was willing to be the second choice in love for Ji Anshen.

She watched him happily, her face full of nervousness, "Really? Are you really willing to marry me?"

Ji Anshen said really, very softly, very seriously.

Bian Shu thought that after a year of being together, she had finally seen a turning point.

Even if Ji Anshen was a block of ice, she should have warmed him by now.

But that very night, Ji Anshen disappeared.

Bian Shu was sure that before going to sleep, as usual, she had checked all the door locks; she was not that careless.

But he just vanished.

Bian Shu searched the entire house, unable to find him, trembling, she called him, listening to the busy signal on the phone, she could no longer restrain herself, rushed out of the house, plunging headlong into the pouring rain.
