Chapter 185 Why Should I Exchange Xia Mingyue
"You haven't slept yet?" Li Jingshen asked in a hoarse voice. The smell of nicotine on his body had not yet dissipated, and it was faintly emitted as he spoke, but it was not unpleasant.
Shen Zhichu looked up inadvertently and found that Li Jingshen's eyes were bloodshot. His expression was always cold, but now he seemed to be troubled by something, with gloom shrouded between his brows.
"I was just about to go to bed but haven't fallen asleep yet." She suffered from insomnia and needed to meditate for several hours before she felt even slightly sleepy. Now that she was woken up by Li Jingshen, she didn't know when she would be able to fall asleep again.
Shen Zhichu asked casually: "Why did you come back so late today?"
"Something happened at the company."
"oh."
The two of them fell silent, and the atmosphere became increasingly strange. In the past, Li Jingshen's eyes when he looked at her were either hostile or cold, but today, his eyes were filled with reluctance, guilt, entanglement, and pain...
"Where did the 5 million in your account go?"
Shen Zhichu was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted, "Just give it to the Chen family."
After she said this, she clearly felt that the aura around Li Jingshen became a little colder, which made her feel intimidating.
“The day I went to the underground casino, I gave him the money I had on me in order to save Shen Xiuli and pay off his debt.”
Li Jingshen was playing with the iron chain, which made a slight rustling sound that made people feel inexplicably creepy.
"I've read the agreement Chen Jiaxing asked you to sign. He didn't ask you to pay back the money, but only asked you to sleep with him for one night to pay off the debt. And you were indeed in his bed at that time."
Shen Zhichu's expression changed. What exactly did Li Jingshen want to say?
Li Jingshen continued, "Besides, I've already taught him a lesson. He shouldn't transfer the money from your card again. But why did that money end up in his account the day before the divorce?"
Even a fool could tell that Li Jingshen was now suspicious of her, but she didn't do anything, so she really couldn't guess his starting point.
Shen Zhichu listened lazily, feeling a little cold. She gathered the quilt over her arms and asked, "So?"
Li Jingshen's eyes darkened slightly, and his gaze on Shen Zhichu turned into a scrutiny. "Yesterday morning, Mingyue was kidnapped when he went out, and the person who kidnapped him was related to Chen Jiaxing."
"......" Shen Zhichu's eyes widened for a moment, and then an undercurrent surged in them, deep and bottomless, and the hands that were clutching the quilt tightened.
As the man spoke one sentence after another, Shen Zhichu completely understood that Li Jingshen was convicting her.
"Do you suspect that I hired Chen Jiaxing's men to kidnap Xia Mingyue?"
Li Jingshen said calmly: "I didn't say that."
"I didn't say that, but the way you looked at me was like viciousness was written on my face." Shen Zhichu couldn't help but sneered, "So, you came back so late just to question me about my conviction?"
"The other party asked you to bring 100 million to exchange for Xia Mingyue. They will send the position to you tomorrow afternoon."
Shen Zhichu seemed to understand. Who was Xia Mingyue? She was his childhood sweetheart, the person he had grown up with and loved. Their relationship was much stronger than just a cat or a dog. And she, Shen Zhichu, was even worse than a dog. It was only natural for her to exchange Xia Mingyue's life for hers.
"You want me to exchange Xia Mingyue? Why? Just because there's 5 million missing from my account, you're convicting me and accusing me of having Xia Mingyue kidnapped?"
"You clearly know who Chen Jiaxing is, and you witnessed what happened to me that night. Do you think I would bribe him to kidnap Xia Mingyue?" Shen Zhichu sneered.
"In the end, you're just making up an excuse so you can hand me over to Chen Jiaxing in exchange for Xia Mingyue!"
