Husband and wife united in purpose (Part 2)
"I've been having a bad feeling lately, feeling like something bad is going to happen!" It was late at night, but Asahirou hadn't fallen asleep yet and was still talking to April Sakura.
She did not return to Xia's house tonight and stayed at a good friend's house.
Two people were sitting on the tatami, one was drinking, a melancholy yet charming aura emanating from her; the other was looking at the bright moon outside the floor-to-ceiling window, her brows furrowed, filled with sorrow.
"Are you worried that Yan Mingchi will come looking for you?" April Ying naturally knew what was on her mind.
“That’s one of them.”
"The second reason is that you are worried that something might happen to the Xia couple."
Chao Rirou remained silent for a long time before she said, "Such a thing happened to the Xia family, why is there no movement from the Luosha side?" She had a premonition that they would definitely take action.
"Since we are here, we might as well make the best of it." Before April Sakura finished her words, her cell phone rang. She saw that it was Yue Lanxiu calling. She raised her eyebrows in surprise, then looked at Zhao Rirou, indicating whether she wanted to answer the phone.
"He must be calling you because he's looking for you." Although Asahiro was curious, she let her answer the phone herself.
April Sakura answered the call and pressed the speakerphone.
Yue Lanxiu's apologetic voice came from the phone, "Sorry to bother you, I just wanted to ask if Naier is asleep?"
"Do you want to ask her yourself whether she has slept?"
"No need, please remind her that it's late and she should get enough rest! Also, tell her not to worry about her father's affairs, I will take care of it! Let her sleep peacefully! That's all, thank you!" After giving the instructions, Yue Lanxiu hung up the phone.
"It seems like I called specifically to let you sleep peacefully!" April Sakura smiled at Asahi Judo.
"Really? Why not just call me directly? Is there any need to go through so much trouble? Are you afraid that I will ask him a lot of questions?" Asahirou said dissatisfiedly.
"You really don't know how to appreciate a good person. He's obviously very considerate. He was afraid that you fell asleep and the call would wake you up, so he called me! You still have the nerve to complain, but I'm the one who should be complaining, okay? Why doesn't he consider whether I'm asleep or not, and whether he'll wake me up!" April Sakura saw that although she still had a stern face, there was a hint of smile in her eyes unconsciously.
"I think you are too considerate. Why is he so nice to me?" Asahirou's smile disappeared as she thought of something.
"Why should I be so nice to you? Of course I like you, I even love you!"
Asahirou sneered, "If you loved me, you wouldn't have fed me the medicine that would make me lose my memory." She felt that it was a hurdle that she would never be able to overcome.
"He might not have fallen in love with you then, but now, especially after you've been through so much together, it's not impossible for him to have feelings for you! Do you think his kindness to you is all fake, just for show?"
"That's not the case. He is indeed very nice to me, but it's probably because he feels guilty!" A look of loss appeared on Asahiro's face.
April Ying saw it all, "You seem to care whether he has you in his heart or not. It seems that you do have him in your heart! Of course, otherwise why would you plan to have his child!"
Did she have him in her heart? Of course she did! He had saved her so many times! The way he always appeared in her moments of crisis was already deeply engraved in her heart! But was this kind of feeling necessarily love between a man and a woman? She couldn't be sure, and she had never thought deeply about this question, because her marriage with Yue Lanxiu was just a fake marriage, and she had no intention of being with him!
"I will leave after giving birth to the baby!" She had planned this a long time ago.
This was the first time Si Yueying had heard her say this. Her expression was serious, and it seemed she had already made up her mind. "Why? Is it because of Yan Mingchi?"
“That’s one reason.”
"What's the other reason? Because..." Siyueying stopped herself in time and didn't say it. Because she knew that the three words "Yue Lanjing" were now a taboo for her. Siyueying knew that she had to forget that man...
In Xu Yun's villa, the phone rang.
"Why are you calling me so late?" Not only the woman's voice but also her eyes became gentle, her whole body exuded a gentle aura.
"There's something I still feel like reminding you of. Yue Lanhuan's kidnapping is a secret, which means not many people know about it..."
The woman was stunned. She had no intention of listening to what the man said next!
April Ying's subordinates were extremely efficient. The next morning, they had already investigated Xu Yun's recent movements.
Asahirou immediately contacted Yue Lanxiu. After Yue Lanxiu picked up Asahirou at April Sakura Apartment, the two were on their way to Xu Yun's villa.
"We found out that Xu Yun knew some gangsters on the street. She recently gave those gangsters a large sum of money and asked them to do something for her, which was to destroy some of the surveillance cameras in the community where she lived! On the night of the 17th, Xu Yun took the security guards to look for suspicious people, actually wanting to lure the security guards away! But these gangsters only admitted to destroying the surveillance cameras, and said they knew nothing about the kidnapping! They would never tell where they hid the people!" Chao Rirou said concisely.
"I think the person should be with Xu Yun." Yue Lanxiu thought for a long time before saying.
"You mean in Xu Yun's villa?" Seeing him nod, Zhao Rirou asked again, "Why do you think so?"
"Do you remember those magnolia trees?"
Asahirou hummed, "I still remember you saying that Mom is allergic to magnolia trees."
"Yes, Mom is allergic to magnolia trees. She starts coughing non-stop when she's near them or smells them! I remember Dad said that after Mom was kidnapped, the kidnappers asked him to talk to her on the phone for a few minutes. Mom kept coughing, and Dad thought she had a cold! But I think it could also be an allergy!"
"Because she was close to the magnolia tree! The magnolia tree in Xu Yun's courtyard!" Zhao Rirou's eyes turned slightly, and she suddenly thought of something, "Allergy medicine! So Xu Yun would buy allergy medicine! I said something was wrong, how could an allergic person eat seafood! But there is one thing I don't understand, since she planned to hide the person in her own home, why did she go to so much trouble to find someone to destroy the surveillance that would not capture her at all? She would never pass by that section of surveillance road! If she wanted to destroy something, she should destroy the surveillance from her home to Yue Lanhui's home!" Then another question arises, doesn't the surveillance show that she has never been to Yue Lanhui's house?
Amidst the confusion, Yue Lanxiu sneered, "This is probably just a guilty conscience! When we saw those damaged surveillance cameras, we immediately assumed the person had been taken away from the community. Her goal was to make us believe that, so that we would never imagine that the person was actually still in the community! It's a pity that her cleverness backfired! She deliberately spread the news that a sneaky outsider had entered the community, just to make us think that the person was kidnapped by someone outside the community and had nothing to do with the people inside!"
"And she even deliberately called in security. Her purpose wasn't to search, but to prevent them from spotting those suspicious individuals. So she led the security away from the scene and searched in the opposite direction!"
"Yes. But there is one thing I still can't figure out!" There was still mist in Yue Lanxiu's eyes.
"I just can't figure out how she brought this person to her villa without anyone knowing?" Asahi Rou couldn't figure it out either.
"Yes! But there is no time to study this issue now. My father knows that my mother has not come back yet, so he refuses to change his confession. This time he insists on seeing my mother with his own eyes before he is willing to tell the truth to the police!" Speaking of Xia Tianhan, Yue Lanxiu showed a tricky look on his face.
"How did he know? Who told him?"
"Although I heard it from the police officer in charge of guarding the place, that officer was just a tool for spreading the news. It remains to be determined who the real disseminator is."
"Well, let's find a way to rescue Mom first. Now that you're sure she's with Xu Yun, what are you going to do next?"
"We are still guessing. There is only one way to confirm it, which is to sneak into her house and investigate! This requires someone to lure her out..." Yue Lanxiu was halfway through his words when the phone rang. He saw that it was Xu Rongxuan and answered it immediately.
Xu Rongxuan told him on the phone that Xu Yun was planning to drive out and was pushing a suitcase. It seemed that she would be away from home for a while.
Yue Lanxiu's eyes flickered with thought, "Find a way to stop her, I'll be there soon!"
"It seems we don't need to lead her out. She has already left, but she brought her suitcase with her." He said to Asahi Judo after hanging up the phone.
"Why do I feel like she's going to run away?"
Yue Lanxiu stopped talking and increased his speed. With Zhao Rirou beside him, he only sped up slightly.
The two arrived at the door of Xu Yun's villa and saw Xu Yun coming out, followed by Xu Rongxuan, who frowned in trouble.
Seeing Yue Lanxiu, Xu Rongxuan gave him a look that meant that there was no way to stop him.
"Miss Xu, are you going on a trip?" Yue Lanxiu glanced at the large suitcase on the back seat of the car and wondered why it wasn't placed in the trunk?
"Yeah." Xu Yun responded impatiently, and was so cold that she didn't want to pay any attention at all.
Yue Lanxiu saw that she was very anxious. She glanced at him, and although she quickly looked away, he caught the panic in her eyes.
When Xu Yun got into the driver's seat, Yue Lanxiu walked around to the back of the car and stared at the trunk. His sharp gaze made people feel that nothing could escape his eyes.
Just as Xu Yun started the car and prepared to leave, Yue Lanxiu suddenly raised her voice and shouted, "Miss Xu, your trunk is not closed properly. Let me help you close it again!"
But as soon as he finished speaking, the car suddenly rushed forward!
Fortunately, Zhao Rirou, who was standing in front of the car, reacted quickly, otherwise she would have just had a minor scratch on her hand.
"Are you okay?" Yue Lanxiu immediately ran to Zhao Rirou, his voice trembling, obviously frightened.
Seeing this, Xu Rongxuan immediately ran after the car, determined not to let that woman escape!
He looked her up and down with a pale face, and found that only the back of one hand was scratched and bleeding. He couldn't help cursing, "Damn it!" He just wanted to test Xu Yun, but he didn't expect her to react so violently. It seemed that there must be something wrong with the trunk!
Seeing how nervous he was, Asahiro didn't feel any pain at all.
I heard several gunshots and looked over. It was Xu Rongxuan who fired the gun, breaking the two rear wheels of Xu Yun's car.
The car kept spinning and finally stopped after crashing through the bridge railing on the side of the road. The front of the car had already rushed out of the bridge railing and was hanging in the air. There was no doubt that the whole car would fall into the water in the next second.
"Oh no!" Yue Lanxiu rushed over immediately, and his heart, which had returned to his chest, jumped into his throat again.
With a splash, there was the sound of someone falling into the water! It was Xu Yun who opened the car door and jumped in on purpose! She dived to the bottom of the water, trying to escape from others' sight.
Xu Rongxuan jumped down without thinking, wanting only to catch this vicious woman.
Yue Lanxiu came to the back of the car and made sure that the car would not fall before he breathed a sigh of relief.
He easily opened the locked trunk, and as he expected, there was a person lying inside. When he saw the person, he breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes red with excitement.
"Mom!" Zhao Rirou, who followed closely, screamed in surprise when she saw Yue Lanhuan lying inside with her legs curled up.
