CHAPTER 405: CHAPTER 405: INTENSE HATRED

Who would dare to act against him? Cheng Lie thought of Mu Chengzhu, but he was entangled with the wedding affairs, the Mu Family’s business, and his own career, all in chaos, so it’s impossible for him to have the time to deal with these messy things.

Qin Chi Jin saw Cheng Lie’s cold expression and smiled, "Don’t worry, I’ll help you investigate. After all, it happened among my people."

At this point, Qin Chi Jin’s face turned cold.

This kind of thing had never happened in all these years.

The person behind it could buy off his people, and after the incident, when he checked the families of the two involved, he found they had already emigrated abroad.

Someone with such power certainly wasn’t weaker than him.

Who could it be? Qin Chi Jin squinted his eyes, thinking carefully. There were only a handful of such people, so narrowing it down would make it easier to investigate.

Cheng Lie listened to Qin Chi Jin’s words, nodded, and then raised his hand to cover his eyes, "I’m tired and want to rest for a while."

Seeing that he had the intention of closing the doors to guests, Qin Chi Jin said, "Alright, you have a good rest."

Zhao Pan hesitated for a while, looking at Cheng Lie, "Mr. Cheng, remember to give Miss Yun a call."

Thinking about his recent interactions with Yun Shifei, he had completely changed his view of her.

He used to think Yun Shifei was just a delicate girl, pretty, a bit timid, and it was normal for men to like her.

But in this time spent with her, he realized Miss Yun wasn’t as weak as she appeared on the surface.

On the contrary, she was particularly strong. At times, seeing her haggard appearance, Zhao Pan thought Yun Shifei couldn’t hold on anymore.

Yet, she was able to figure out Cheng Lie might not be in West City and even post to search for him, quickly writing such a good article for everyone to see.

These past few days, she withstood everything alone.

Although Zhao Pan could tell from her red and swollen eyes that she must have cried, she never deliberately showed this vulnerability.

Thinking about it, Zhao Pan couldn’t help but sigh.

He thought he had deeply misunderstood Yun Shifei before.

In the future, he would firmly stand by Mr. Cheng and Miss Yun.

However, after he finished speaking, he felt Cheng Lie seemed unresponsive for a while before he heard Cheng Lie say, "Got it."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Pan turned and left, also planning to take a good rest.

This period truly exhausted him.

As he reached the door, Cheng Lie called out to him again.

"In the future, without my consent, don’t tell her about my matters."

The man’s voice was deep, like the snow of midwinter, carrying a hint of chill.

Zhao Pan felt that there seemed to be some change in Cheng Lie this time.

But he just assumed that because their Fourth Master’s people caused his trouble, he became a bit sensitized.

It was normal to suspect them and be wary.

So he said, "Understood."

The hospital room door was closed, leaving Cheng Lie alone.

Cheng Lie lay on the bed, gazing at the sky outside the window.

His vision was still blurry, only able to see an outline of the sky.

Today’s weather seemed exceptionally good, with blue skies, white clouds, and a blazing sun.

How long had it been since he stared so attentively at the sky outside?

Previously his world was bleak within, and now it turned dim before his eyes.

Even though he couldn’t see the view outside clearly, being illuminated by the sunlight, his eyes felt sore as if stung by pepper, causing him to instinctively close them.

Tears welled up as a physiological response.

Cheng Lie blinked and took a deep breath.

With nothing to see, there was nothing at all.

Yun Shifei returned home, and after receiving Zhao Pan’s call, she felt a sudden peace over a matter that had been weighing on her mind.

She thought Cheng Lie couldn’t possibly be in trouble.

So, as soon as she got home, she booked a flight to Beijing.

After experiencing this, she realized how much Cheng Lie meant to her.

Those previous fears that prevented her from moving forward in love were now being ignited.

If she didn’t act on her love, she feared it might be too late in the future.

However, there were only flights to Beijing available for tomorrow, so she had to rest at home for a while.

Upon returning home, she bumped into Yun Sisi and Mu Chengzhu who were going out.

Yun Sisi was startled when she saw Yun Shifei. In just a few days, Yun Shifei seemed to have lost a lot of weight, looking so haggard, her complexion pale, with red and swollen eyes.

However, Yun Shifei was so beautiful that even with such poor spirits, she looked like a fragile beauty, invoking pity.

Jealousy flickered in Yun Sisi’s eyes.

She had once taken this path too, but unfortunately, this trick no longer worked on others.

"Sister, did you go out to play? You look like you’re tired."

Yun Shifei nodded, acknowledging Yun Sisi.

She could feel Mu Chengzhu looking at her.

Yun Shifei glanced at him.

The coldness and hatred in her eyes were blatant and undisguised.

Ultimately, she harbored intense hatred towards him, didn’t she?

Mu Chengzhu suddenly felt like laughing.

He recalled the words Yun Sisi recited at the wedding. At first, he thought she wrote them, but later on, under his questioning, Yun Sisi admitted to having a professional team from a company write it for her.

This idiot, someone handed her a piece of text, and she dared to read it out loud; all those years of schooling were in vain!

Later, he investigated the company and learned that Yun Shifei had also interacted with people from that company.

It was clear to him who wrote the script.

He was furious for several days, wishing he could admonish Yun Shifei.

However, he learned that Yun Shifei had gone to the Southwest to find Cheng Lie.

So he patiently waited for a few days.

Until today, he saw Yun Shifei dragging her luggage back home.

Originally, he wanted to strangle her, but seeing her haggard state, an inexplicable sense of distress arose in Mu Chengzhu’s heart.

How had she driven herself to this state?

However, seeing the intense hatred in her eyes, like scorching sunlight burning him, Mu Chengzhu quickly calmed down.

He felt that Yun Shifei had lived too comfortably in this life, which is why she became increasingly obstinate and rebellious.

He didn’t mind tormenting her a little.

Yun Shifei was exhausted, unwilling to engage with Yun Sisi, and as for Mu Chengzhu, now she couldn’t be bothered with him either. Since she knew Cheng Lie’s whereabouts, there was plenty of time to deal with Mu Chengzhu in the future.

She just wanted to get back home, call Cheng Lie, and get some sleep.

Staring at Yun Shifei’s retreating figure, Yun Sisi felt unsatisfied.

Goodness, this Yun Shifei was so rude. She asked her a question, and she just left without answering.
