CHAPTER 260: CHAPTER 152: THE LIU FAMILY’S CURRENT SITUATION / FU MO’S VISIT

...

After bringing Fu Mo to a quiet corner of the playground, Luo Ye looked at him seriously: "Go ahead, from this spot we can see anyone approaching. My brother and I used to love chatting here."

"Thank you!" Gratitude seeped through Fu Mo’s voice.

"Alright, cut the pretense. You’re here now, so let’s talk about what matters." Luo Ye gave him a pat on the back: "When did you start being so bashful?"

Fu Mo looked seriously at Luo Ye: "Don’t you think it’s a bit unkind of me not to tell Tangtang about Fan Zhe’s matter?"

"From what I’ve observed in our interactions over the past few days, I believe you must have your reasons for doing so, or is it that some things are currently out of your control?"

"You’re really quite clever!" Fu Mo bowed his head to ponder for a moment, then made up his mind: "Luo Ye, you must promise me not to tell anyone what I’m about to tell you, can you do that?"

Luo Ye shook her head: "If it’s inconvenient, then don’t say it." She understood that curiosity killed the cat.

"It’s not inconvenient at all. At first, it was because of Fan Jiaxiang and his son that my cousin was misunderstood. If it weren’t for the evidence you gave me, we might still be misunderstanding my cousin. It’s only right that I tell you."

"That thing, my relationship with Ye Xuan is fake. It was only to fend off the Yang Family’s marriage proposal, and Ye Xuan agreed to help me. He was the one who found the evidence and had me hand it over to you. He was worried you wouldn’t believe him and used me as his proxy." Now that the matter could be made public, Luo Ye didn’t want Fu Mo to continue under any misunderstandings.

"Really?" Fu Mo looked surprised: "That my cousin would do such a thing is quite rare. Luo Luo, if... I mean if, you have feelings for my cousin, don’t miss out. He is genuinely excellent, and I believe he is a truly devoted man!"

"Let’s stick to your matters." Luo Ye didn’t want to linger on the topic of Ye Xuan. Not to mention other issues, their age difference alone made their relationship unrealistic. Besides, that man was not true to his word. Grandpa’s family matters were coming to an end, and he hadn’t shown any sign—what a liar!

Fu Mo’s expression became solemn again, "The relevant departments are currently investigating Fan Jiaxiang. To avoid alarming the enemy, they have asked me not to expose Fan Jiaxiang and his son for now, and of course, I cannot reveal this to anyone.

As my mother’s hope, I must consider not just my own and Tangtang’s relationship. Thus, I’ve been secretly searching for evidence that Fan Zhe knows about Tang Family’s background. I hadn’t made any progress before this incident happened."

"I understand. If Tangtang gets upset when she finds out, I’ll explain the complexities to her." Luo Ye naturally knew about Fan Jiaxiang’s appearance in the Liu case - she was the one who had recorded the video, after all. She thought it was some big secret..., disappointing!

— This girl doesn’t consider, with Fu Mo’s status, that this is already super classified information he’s privy to. If it weren’t for her recording that video, would she have had the chance to know about this? If it weren’t for the wealth of evidence she provided for the case, would she have had the opportunity to take part in the investigation? If not for the confidence, she provided to Jiang Zheng and Ye Xuan, would they dare let her in on so much...

"Right, there’s another reason I wanted to talk to you. I’m going to look into Cha Liangyou Chain’s files when I return today. I discovered something—Qu Yue, who we met today, turns out to be the Crown Prince of Qu Group, the general manager of Liangyou Chain. It seems he built up Liangyou Chain from scratch."

"No wonder he said he would take the roast master from Liangyou Hotel to barbecue." Luo Ye’s lips curled: "It seems there are many coincidences in this world!"

"Is he also going to the barbecue tomorrow?" A smile flickered in Fu Mo’s eyes: "That’s handy, saves me the trouble of finding him. I found out something, Yin Dejiu’s hotel is not a regular franchise; he got it through connections irregularly.

Liangyou’s rules require that two franchises must be more than 1500 meters apart, yet Yin Dejiu’s store is only 1000 meters away from another franchise, which was opened earlier. Understand?"

Luo Ye glanced at the excited Fu Mo: "You’re feeling guilty about not being able to tell Tangtang about Fan Zhe, so you hurried to dig this up, hoping to cheer Tangtang up before she leaves, right?"

Fu Mo nodded: "I admit that’s part of it, but mainly I feel sorry for Dongdong and want to help him get justice."

"With our status, taking down someone like Yin Dejiu is too easy, even if we didn’t know Qu Yue. But doesn’t this equate to bullying by power?"

"You—" Fu Mo’s words got stuck in his throat, not sure what to say.

Luo Ye’s lips curled up: "Do you think I’m cold-hearted or pretending to be righteous?"

"I didn’t say that." Yet Fu Mo’s eyes revealed his thoughts.

"I won’t explain. Within a month, you’ll come to understand." A bright light flashed in Luo Ye’s eyes: "To save someone, you must save their heart, not just their body!"
