Chapter 287 The Mystery is Solved
The woman was as frail as a bubble, as if she might burst at any moment. His heart clenched tightly. His fists at his sides clenched even tighter.
He just couldn't understand where he was inferior to Feng Jue.
Sooner or later, he would make Luo Anya willingly abandon Feng Jue and fall into his arms.
His phone vibrated in his pocket. Seeing the caller ID, his expression changed, and he quickly left the ward.
He bypassed the two people who were wrestling and found a quiet place to answer the call.
A stern, cold voice came from the other end, "Pei Yunshen, why is Luo Anya in the hospital again? Is it to shield Feng Jue? Anyone with eyes can see this is a ruse to make Feng Jue take responsibility. Do you think Feng Jue is a fool?"
No one will tolerate being made a fool of. I'll ask you one last time, what exactly is your involvement in this self-inflicted injury scheme?
Hearing his father get angry, Pei Yun Shen was still somewhat intimidated.
However, he is his only son, and no matter how angry he is, he is still the sole heir of the Pei family.
If I anger him to death, he can take charge of the household sooner and won't have to suffer the humiliation of Feng Jue.
Luo Anya could also think more highly of him.
Pei Yun Shen was filled with grievances. "Dad, I've said it countless times, this has nothing to do with me. Besides, Anya's injuries are really serious. I can vouch for her. This is definitely not a ploy by her."
Mr. Pei took a deep breath. "Alright, alright, you're an adult now. You have to take responsibility for what you say. If anything happens in the future, don't expect me to clean up your mess."
After saying that, he angrily hung up the phone.
Good advice is useless to a damned devil. If Feng Jue comes looking for Pei Yun Shen to settle accounts, he'll follow Huo Qian Fan's father's example and put righteousness before family.
He couldn't let this foolish son ruin the foundation he had built with so much hardship, and besides, he had more than one son.
As soon as I looked up, I saw Pei's mother walking over angrily. "You, surnamed Pei, what did you mean by what you just said? Are you not going to take care of our son anymore?"
“It’s not that I don’t care about him, it’s just that he simply won’t listen to my earnest advice.”
“He’s just a child. Can’t you be more patient? Besides, even if this matter is related to him, what you should do is not scold your son, but help him clean up the mess and make sure that Feng Jue can’t trace it back to him.”
Pei's father opened his mouth, clearly speechless. "I'm too lazy to argue with a woman like you who's all hair and no brains."
Upon hearing this, Pei's mother immediately flew into a rage. "How did you pursue me so eagerly back then? Now you're complaining that I have long hair and short-sightedness? If it weren't for my family's help, could you have built such a large and successful company?"
I'm warning you, you'd better clean up this mess for Yun Shen properly, or you can forget about ever touching me again.
Mr. Pei's face darkened. "I have something to do at the company, I'll be leaving now."
He doesn't only have one wife.
This mother and son are courting death, and they even want to drag him down to hell with them, so don't blame him for being ruthless.
Luo Anya finally woke up, and the first thing she saw was a pig's head face, which immediately made her break out in a cold sweat.
It took him two seconds to recognize Pei Yun Shen.
Mr. and Mrs. Luo, who were standing nearby, were also injured. Mr. Luo had fingernail marks on his face, and Mrs. Luo had handprints on her face, indicating that they had clearly fought each other.
"Anya, you're finally awake. Does your wound still hurt?"
Looking at Pei Yun Shen's face, Luo Anya felt a surge of disgust. Compared to Brother A Jue, this man was not even as good as his toenails.
However, the woman still looked shy and timid. "I'm fine. Yun Shen, what happened to your face? What happened to Mom and Dad?"
“Anya, don’t be sad or angry when I tell you this. You were in the emergency room being treated, while Feng Jue was sitting outside working as if nothing had happened. I just argued with him for a few words, and he actually had his bodyguards beat me up like this.”
Upon hearing this, Luo Anya felt a surge of sweetness in her heart.
If I remember correctly, when she was stabbed, it was Feng Jue who carried her into the car.
I believe he was the one who carried her into the hospital. The fact that he stood guard outside the door shows that he cares about her; he just has an icy face and seems rather cold.
“Brother Ajue has always kept his emotions hidden. I think you must have misunderstood him. But he shouldn’t have hit him so hard. I’ll talk to him about it later.”
Upon hearing Luo Anya's words, Pei Yunshen's gaze suddenly darkened, and his expression turned somewhat unpleasant.
Luo Anya pretended not to see it, and then looked at her parents. Her father quickly smiled and said, "I just tripped and fell, it's nothing."
Aunt Luo also said, "I fell down the stairs, but luckily I didn't twist my ankle. It's okay, you don't need to worry."
Luo Anya truly didn't care about them. She said a few insincere words and then closed her eyes to rest.
With Feng Jue absent, she couldn't be bothered to deal with these people. If her parents and Pei Yun Shen weren't so useless, she wouldn't have taken such a risky tactic of self-inflicted injury.
It really hurts to have a knife stuck in your chest, but being able to marry Feng Jue makes it all worthwhile.
But after several days without Feng Jue visiting her in the hospital or making a single phone call, Luo Anya realized something was wrong.
country z.
Su Xi learned how to process documents from Feng Jingnian and quickly got the hang of it.
She handled some of the documents she could manage, which significantly reduced Feng Jingnian's workload, and her complexion did indeed improve considerably.
Feng Jingnian picked up a new document and opened it. "Xixi, I'll teach you this today."
Looking at the documents in the man's hand, Su Xi pursed her lips and said, "This concerns important core secrets of the company. You should handle it yourself. There's not much of it anyway."
"How can that be? I only trust you, not anyone else. What if I suddenly faint one day, and you don't handle these documents for me? Wouldn't they fall into the hands of other ambitious shareholders in the company?"
You wouldn't want me to wake up from a near-death experience only to receive the devastating news of the company changing hands, would you?
Su Xi rolled her eyes. "It's not as exaggerated as you say."
However, when she met Feng Jingnian's eager gaze, she relented and joked, "Teaching a disciple can lead to the master's starvation. Aren't you afraid I'll take your place?"
"I couldn't ask for more."
The man's gaze was so intense and clear that Su Xi looked away, her expression turning somewhat cold.
Sensing the oppressive atmosphere around him, Feng Jingnian seemed a little intimidated and focused his attention on the documents, explaining them to Su Xi in detail.
Unbeknownst to them, the two were very close. The scent of gardenias emanating from the woman lingered in their nostrils, and Su Xi also caught a whiff of the pleasant woody honey scent on him.
Both of them paused for a moment, and almost simultaneously, they each took a step back to the side.
The moment their eyes met, they both burst out laughing. The slightly stiff and tense atmosphere instantly relaxed.
Seeing that the man was completely open and honest, Su Xi was utterly relieved. She was completely oblivious to the hint of melancholy deep in his eyes.
Suddenly, Feng Jingnian received a phone call. He didn't know what the other person said, but his expression turned somewhat grim.
Su Xi saw it all, but didn't ask. If he was willing to tell her, he would.
Feng Jingnian walked over almost without hesitation, stammering, "Xixi, someone is investigating you again. This time it's Su Mo."
"Su Mo? Is that Su Mo who looks a lot like me?"
"Yes. That's a big mountain. I can't guarantee I can completely hide your whereabouts. Just to be safe, how about I send someone to take you to the US for a while? I'll bring you back as soon as their people leave."
After thinking it over, Su Xi realized that since Huangtian Group was such a formidable force, she didn't want to drag Feng Jingnian down with her, so she nodded in agreement.
During lunch, Su Xi received a call from an unknown number. She didn't answer.
Soon, Feng Jingnian's phone rang. It was an unfamiliar number, exactly the same one that had just called him.
"Don't speak."
Su Xi nodded.
Feng Jingnian answered the call, his expression instantly shifting from serious to relaxed, until he even laughed, "So it was you. Yes, she's with me."
Feng Jingnian handed the phone to Su Xi, who glared at him. The man smiled and said, "It's Luo Chen."
"What?" Su Xi rolled her eyes at him and took the phone.
"Sister, I have news about Mother."
"What did you say?"
"Didn't you throw that puzzle box in the trash last time? I picked it up again. And I cracked the Morse code on it."
If I'm not mistaken, Mother didn't die at all. And isn't it a coincidence that Mother grew up in China? You're in China, so you can keep an eye on things.”
Su Xi froze on the spot, taking a long time to process those words. She walked to the window in the distance, avoiding Feng Jingnian, and asked in a low voice,
"Impossible. If Mother is still alive, why doesn't she come looking for us?"
"And your mother is clearly Chinese, are you mistaken?"
“Living in China doesn’t mean you’re a Chinese citizen, my sister. If you don’t believe me, fine, I’ll find it myself.”
After saying that, he hung up the phone, and wouldn't answer when I called back.
Su Xi was deeply moved and couldn't calm down for a long time. She knew that Luo Chen wouldn't joke about something like this, and he was indeed very knowledgeable about Morse code.
If her mother hadn't died, then Feng Jue... Su Xi's mind was in turmoil. She forced herself to stop thinking about the past; finding her mother was the most important thing now.
Thinking that she and Su Mo looked somewhat alike, Su Xi wondered if her mother might have some connection with the Huangtian Group.
Seeing Su Xi's preoccupied state, Feng Jingnian moved his lips but didn't ask. He didn't like forcing her to do things she didn't want to do.
After finishing her meal quietly, Su Xi took a sip of afternoon tea and finally spoke, "Years have passed."
"Hmm." Feng Jingnian immediately sat up straight, listening attentively.
Lost in thought, Su Xi didn't notice the man's studious posture. "Do you know Su Mo's mother? Do you have any photos of her?"
Feng Jingnian shook his head. "Huangtian Group is very low-key and mysterious. I don't know much about their family members either. What's wrong?"
"It's nothing. After all these years, I've decided to stay in Z country and not go anywhere else. You've hidden my whereabouts in every way, haven't you? You even fooled Feng Jue. I believe you."
Besides, I'm only avoiding Feng Jue right now. As for Su Mo, if she finds me, I'd be interested in meeting her. If she doesn't, then forget it.
"……good."
They searched for three days but found no trace of Su Xi.
"A bunch of useless trash." Su Mo slammed a pot of hot tea onto the faces and bodies of the men in black, instantly turning their faces and bodies red. They didn't dare to move.
"Get out of here, all of you."
Su Mo grew angrier the more she thought about it. She never expected that her carefully cultivated subordinates couldn't even find a tiny ant.
It seems we have no choice but to use our trump card.
She buried this piece very deep; I believe Su Xi didn't even know how she died.
