Chapter 466 Do you think you can hide forever?

The photo shows Xiao Hong's husband in an intimate pose with a young woman in a hotel in another city, along with several large money transfer records to her, dating back as far as a year ago.

“When I was tidying up his study last year, I found his spare phone, which was full of these things.”

Xiao Hong's voice trembled, "I didn't expose him back then, but he betrayed me and the child, and I must make him pay the price."

She wiped away her tears and continued, "First, I transferred my savings in batches to my relatives' accounts, thinking I would deposit them in their names. Later, I deliberately asked a friend to write several fake IOUs to create the illusion that I owed debts. I knew he valued money the most, and I thought that this would make him afraid to mention divorce because he was afraid of taking on debts. But last month, he suddenly confronted me, saying that I was 'cheating,' and even showed me several 'intimate photos' of me with a strange man. Only then did I realize that he had already discovered my actions and had set a trap in advance."

Xiao Hong's voice suddenly rose, filled with anger, "That man was someone he hired. Once, he said he would take me to meet a client, and during the meal, he made me drink a few glasses of wine. When I was dizzy, he had that man come over and take pictures. Later, he spread rumors everywhere that I had cheated on him. Now he's turning around and accusing me of cheating first, transferring assets later, and even trying to take the child away."

Cui Xiao frowned deeply as she looked at the transfer records and group photos on her phone.

This evidence is sufficient to overturn the previous claims, but the evidence in Xiao Hong's possession was kept privately and needs further verification.

She tapped her fingertips lightly on the table, looking into Xiao Hong's red eyes. "Have you kept all this evidence? The fake IOU was a last resort, but it was risky. However, the evidence of your husband's infidelity and framing him could be the key to turning the tables."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Hong froze, her crying abruptly stopped, and her eyes were filled with astonishment. "You... how do you know so many legal details?"

Cui Xiao picked up the water glass on the table, took a sip, and spoke casually, as if it were nothing out of the ordinary, "I used to do legal consulting, so I only know a little bit about it."

Xiao Hong said, "Vice President Cui is truly all-around capable. No wonder the president values ​​you so much."

Cui Xiao smiled faintly, but even her smile revealed her absent-mindedness.

——

Cui Xiao did not go downstairs immediately after get off work.

She was afraid that Zhou Mubin would wait for her downstairs, afraid that he would ask about her leaving without saying goodbye back then, and even more afraid of seeing the hatred in his eyes.

She turned on her computer and stared blankly at the document until it was completely dark outside and most of the people in the office building had left, before finally picking up her bag and going downstairs.

The parking lot downstairs was empty; there was no familiar figure from her memory.

Cui Xiao let out a long sigh of relief, and her tense shoulders finally relaxed.

That makes sense. Zhou Mubin is such a proud person. He must have hated her to the core long ago after being so betrayed by her. How could he possibly waste time getting entangled with her?

The fact that he never contacted her in the past five years is the best proof of that.

He had already let it go.

Cui Xiao got into his car and started the engine.

Just as she drove out of the parking lot entrance, a violent impact suddenly came from behind, and the car lurched forward. Her forehead slammed heavily against the steering wheel, and she felt a sharp pain that made her vision go black.

After the screeching sound of brakes, a brief silence fell over the surroundings.

She rubbed her forehead and looked up, seeing that familiar face through the rearview mirror.

Zhou Mubin leaned against the door of the black Bentley, his hands in his suit trouser pockets, a cold smile playing on his lips.

The streetlights illuminated his sculpted features, and his once tender eyes now held only a chilling coldness.

He just stared at her quietly, his gaze like an impenetrable net, trapping her with nowhere to escape.

Cui Xiao felt as if an invisible hand was squeezing her heart, making it difficult to even breathe.

She tried to drive away, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't press the handbrake.

Zhou Mubin slowly walked towards her, the sound of his leather shoes on the ground felt like each step on her heart.

Soon, he knocked on the car window. Cui Xiao stiffly lowered the window, and what rushed out was his familiar fragrance, mixed with a suffocating sense of oppression.

Zhou Mubin spoke, his voice even colder than during the meeting, staring straight at him, "Five years, and you've managed to hide away quite peacefully."

She opened her mouth, but no sound came out. She could only watch helplessly as he leaned down, close to her ear, and said in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Do you think you can hide forever?"

The evening breeze was damp and carried the chill of early spring.

Looking at the turbulent emotions in his eyes, Cui Xiao suddenly realized that the peace of the past five years was nothing more than a self-deceiving illusion.

The man she abandoned never truly let her go, nor did he let himself go.

As soon as Zhou Mubin finished speaking, Cui Xiao's already frosty eyes suddenly darkened, like a boulder being thrown into a calm lake.

Before she could look away, he had already strode around to the passenger side, his movements so fast that Cui Xiao was caught off guard, and with irresistible force, he pulled open the unlocked car door.

His warm palms gripped her slender wrists precisely, his knuckles digging so hard they almost embedded themselves into her skin. With a slight pull, he dragged her out of the car, completely unprepared.

Cui Xiao gasped in surprise, her high heels scraping a shallow mark on the ground. She staggered and barely managed to steady herself. A dull pain in her wrist made her gasp.

She looked up and met his unfathomable eyes.

There surged an intense, overwhelming anger and resentment, along with a hint of suppressed pain—a complex mix of emotions.

Seeing this made Cui Xiaoxin panic, and she lost most of her strength to struggle.

Zhou Mubin's voice was somewhat suppressed and hoarse, as if he hadn't spoken in a long time. His knuckles, gripping her wrist tightly, turned bluish-white from excessive force. "Cui Xiao, what have you done in the past five years besides hiding?"

He didn't let go. The warmth of his palm seeped through the thin fabric, but the heat was as hot as a branding iron, making Cui Xiao's brows furrow in pain.

The two remained locked in this awkward silence under the dim streetlights. The evening breeze ruffled the hem of his suit jacket, carrying the chill of early spring, and also tousled the stray hairs on Cui Xiao's forehead.

The streetlights cast varying shadows on his face, making the bloodshot eyes even more visible. Was it the exhaustion from staying up all night, or the pent-up emotions from years of suppression? Cui Xiao dared not think too much about it.

She could clearly see his Adam's apple bobbing repeatedly, as if he was trying his best to suppress something. It was a different kind of indifference and sarcasm from before; it was the most genuine emotional expression after he had shed his disguise, which made her even more at a loss.

I don't know how much time passed, maybe half a minute, maybe several minutes.
