Chapter 70 He Just Wants Her to Stay by His Side
There was a subtle solemnity in the air. Yu Zhi sorted out all the information, but found that the clues were like a tangled ball of thread, and she could not find a clear clue.
It seems that Song Zhiyu has absolutely nothing to do with them.
She turned her head and looked at Yu Heng who was sitting opposite her, her brows slightly furrowed, and her tone was a little uncertain: "Brother, do you think he has a motive?"
In the glass in front of Yu Heng, the ice milk had a light milky white hue, and the ice cubes made a crackling sound as they hit the wall of the glass.
He picked up the cup and his fingertips felt the coolness of the cup wall.
"It's hard to say, but someone has been keeping an eye on him."
"Furthermore, the transformation of the Chengxi Factory is by no means a one-day job, nor can it be accomplished by one person alone. Once it is done, it will leave traces. Let's wait for the results of the investigation."
Yu Zhi nodded, but her heart was still heavy.
She took a sip of the warm water on the table, trying to suppress the dryness in her throat.
She originally thought that the other party had gone to such great lengths to tie her up just to lure out Pei Yuezhou, but until Yu Heng showed up and everything that happened in the factory afterwards...
This made Yu Zhi realize that the other party's appetite was much bigger than she had imagined.
If this is the case, then was the accident that Yu Heng encountered that year really just a coincidence?
At this moment, Yu Heng seemed to suddenly remember something and put down the milk cup. The bottom of the cup made a slight sound when it hit the table.
He leaned forward slightly and asked casually, "By the way, my people found quite a bit of demolished explosives under the rubble."
His gaze paused on Yu Zhi's face for a moment, with a hint of inquiry, "Does anyone among you know how to defuse explosives?"
The moment the words fell, the air in the living room seemed to stagnate for a moment.
Yu Zhi lowered her eyelashes, and her long and thick eyelashes cast a small shadow under her eyes, covering up the darkness that flashed across her eyes.
Did you clear the rubble so quickly?
It’s over, the lies haven’t been found yet.
I can only make it up on the spot.
Let the storm come even harder! Come on! Let the dark clouds pile up like cotton candy mountains, let the strong winds dance a tango with plastic bags, and even let the red shorts that Uncle Wang has hung out to dry next door be blown onto the telephone poles and swing on them!
As for Xiaoshui who came out to cause trouble at this time, Yu Zhi wanted to pull it out of her mind and beat it up, and warned it in her heart to shut up.
When Yu Zhi looked up, her eyes were filled with confusion. "Explosives? I was so scared at the time, and my head was dizzy and I wasn't quite clear-headed. I remember... it was those thugs who dismantled it."
She didn't lie. Later, those guys got so excited that they rushed to tear things down.
[Isn't this just a joke? You think those guys in the basement are some kind of good people with deep gratitude and loyalty? A few beatings will reveal everything about you.]
That makes sense. Looks like I need to go to the basement as soon as possible.
"Really?" Yu Heng obviously didn't completely believe it, and there was still a questioning look in his eyes when he looked at Yu Zhi.
Just as he finished speaking, there were soft footsteps on the stairs.
Pei Yuezhou was wearing a soft home suit with a slightly open collar, revealing a small part of his collarbone.
He had probably just finished something upstairs. His sleeves were casually rolled up to his forearms, revealing his sleek muscles. As he walked down, his eyes casually swept across the living room.
He walked straight behind Yu Zhi without stopping. Without saying a word, he bent down, rested his chin lightly on her shoulder, and rubbed it affectionately.
"What are you talking about?" His voice was a little lazy, and his breath brushed against her neck, bringing a warm and itchy feeling. "I heard the word 'dynamite' upstairs."
Yu Zhi felt itchy and subconsciously shrank her neck, but his hand gently pressed it down.
His palm was warm, not strong, but with an intimacy that did not allow for escape.
Yu Heng looked at the man clinging to his sister and raised his eyebrows speechlessly: "Ask this man from your family who dismantled the explosives in the factory ruins. Some of the techniques were quite professional."
Such a large amount of equipment definitely could not be dismantled by one person before the explosion, and quite a few of the people had inexperienced skills and were obviously forced to work on the scene.
So who is this leader?
Yu Heng thought of the phone call from Yu Zhi that day. She calmly asked everyone to evacuate. The arrangements were very thorough. This was not something that a confused person would do.
Pei Yuezhou chuckled and stroked Yu Zhi's delicate skin with his fingertips: "Didn't Lin Zhi tell you? One of those thugs used to be an arms dealer. It's not surprising that he can dismantle some simple things."
"So that's how it is." Yu Heng's doubts were mostly dispelled.
[Your husband's ability to lie with his eyes open is almost catching up with yours.]
Yu Zhi didn't expect that he would come to her rescue. She looked up at Pei Yuezhou who was chatting with Yu Heng, and her eyes were a little complicated for a moment.
Noticing that Yu Zhi was in a bad mood, Pei Yuezhou spoke up in time: "It's late, I'll take Zhizhi to rest first."
Yu Heng looked at the two people's clasped hands and couldn't help but say, "Go ahead, go ahead. I'm almost sick of this."
The two of them walked up the stairs.
At the corner of the stairwell, Pei Yuezhou suddenly stopped and turned to face Yu Zhi.
The light in the stairwell was dim, just falling into his eyes, with tiny glimmers.
He leaned forward slightly, and the distance between them instantly shortened, their breaths mingling together. "What's wrong?"
She was in a bad mood.
Could it be that he had just done something unnecessary and accidentally disrupted her rhythm?
Yu Zhi looked up at him.
His eyelashes were very long, casting light shadows under his eyes. His nose was high and his lips were clearly lined. Although it was a very oppressive face, at this moment, he seemed a little nervous.
"Ayue, will you blame me for... not being honest enough?"
In Yu Zhi's opinion, honesty is indispensable between lovers.
Once it is lacking, it is like a house without a load-bearing wall. It may seem stable on the surface, but there is a risk of collapse inside at any time.
That is a breeding ground for suspicion, sensitivity and distrust.
What made Yu Zhi unable to avoid was that the lack of security hidden under Pei Yuezhou's gentle appearance actually came from her.
[Warning, host! Your thoughts are very dangerous. Don't forget you signed a confidentiality agreement. If you leak even a little bit, the punishment won't be as simple as being locked up in a dark room and electrocuted for a few days like before.]
[Wake up! Don't try to cross the authority's red line!]
Yu Zhi lowered her eyes.
Pei Yuezhou's breathing paused for half a second, and a very faint ripple flashed across his eyes, as fast as the surface of water blown by the wind, which returned to calm as soon as the ripples appeared.
Whether it was his deliberate approach at the beginning or his current calculations, when had he ever been honest with her?
This mask maintained by lies was just to cater to her preferences.
His inferiority and insecurity never came from her dishonesty.
Pei Yuezhou raised his hand and gently rubbed her furrowed brows with his fingertips. His movements were as gentle as if he was smoothing out a wrinkled piece of paper.
He leaned over and rested his chin on the top of her head. His voice came through the vibrations of his chest, as low and hoarse as if soaked in warm water: "Of course you can be dishonest with me."
After a pause, he tightened his arms and pressed her into his arms, as if embedding her into his bones and blood. There was a sigh in his tone that he himself didn't even notice: "What I want is never for every word to be clear, but for you to stay by my side."
Even if it hurts him, it doesn't matter.
