"Madam, that place is too chaotic, do you want soone to follow you?" The driver, concerned, got out of the car after her.
"There’s no need, just wait here for . If you don’t see co out after an hour, call the police."
"Yes."
The driver stopped in his tracks and respectfully stayed in his place.
Su Yiru gripped her cell phone tightly, recalling the video she had just seen. She took a deep breath and then stepped into the eerily quiet pub.
Just like the last ti she ca to pick up Ye Mingi, the pub was frighteningly silent during the day.
With every step she took, the tapping of her high heels on the gleaming floor could be heard, contrasting with the dim lighting and heightening the tension.
Su Yiru was worldly, not intimidated by these displays of grandeur; she walked straight across the open space ahead to the sa lounge as before and pushed the door open.
Noticing the figure leaning back on the couch, she narrowed her eyes slightly.
"Mr. Yu enjoys his leisure, drinking even in broad daylight. Is it because you’ve done so many guilty deeds, you’re afraid you can’t sleep?"
Yu Xiuzhun just smiled without speaking, stood up from the couch, a glass of red wine in hand, gently swirling it.
His wicked eyes swept a glance behind Su Yiru.
"Mrs. Ye, you’ve got guts coming here alone, aren’t you afraid you won’t be able to leave?"
"Let’s not speak in riddles. You might as well drop the act; your aim was to draw here."
"If you knew, why fall for it? Don’t you think you’re being foolish?" Yu Xiuzhun chuckled, sipping the red wine lightly.
"Oh, right, I forgot. Mrs. Ye, this isn’t called foolish; it’s called being driven to disorder by concern. But is it worth it, for a man who doesn’t love you? Right now, you could completely take control of the Ye Family if you wanted, instead of handing it over to Qin Youxuan. Don’t forget, Ye Mingi has no blood ties to you, at least you raised her. And Qin Youxuan has nothing to do with you."
"This is my family’s matter and has nothing to do with you." Su Yiru frowned deeply.
Her grip on her purse tightened, and she took a few steps forward, stopping in front of Yu Xiuzhun.
"I’m here today for one answer: Where did you get that video from before Zhanxing’s death? Is his death related to you!"
Su Yiru’s ordinarily gentle tone suddenly turned ice cold.
Her sharp gaze appeared as if she wanted to flay Yu Xiuzhun a thousand tis over.
She had only just returned to the Ye Family and had yet to have ti to investigate the number that sent her those photos, but she had received a video.
It was a recording of Ye Zhanxing right before his death.
And then, a call from Yu Xiuzhun.
Asking her to co here.
By now, Su Yiru also understood that things were not as simple as she had imagined.
Perhaps it was just as Qin Youxuan had speculated, that even Hanjie was being manipulated by soone else, all just to watch their family turn on each other.
"Mrs. Ye, are you joking? It was because you wanted to know the truth that I used my connections to investigate for you. How is this my business?"
Yu Xiuzhun put his wine glass down on the table and stood up from the couch.
He walked over to Su Yiru, circling around her.
He curled his lips into a smirk.
"The matter of the video is unrelated to , but I do happen to know who fild it. If I tell Mrs. Ye, aside from gratitude, how do you plan to thank ?"
"..."
This was essentially blackmail.
Su Yiru’s expression suddenly shifted to anger, and she turned her head to glare at Yu Xiuzhun.
She scoffed, "I didn’t expect it, Mr. Yu is nothing more than a looter taking advantage of a fire, a lowly rat; I had thought too highly of you before."
"Whether you think highly of or not isn’t important. What’s important is that I have what you want, Mrs. Ye, and unfortunately, I’m not inclined to give it."
