“I want to hear the truth.
Can you tell ?”
Lin Chen nodded and admitted candidly, “It’s related.”
Gu Yuexi pursed her lips, “Can you be more specific?”
Lin Chen answered calmly, “He hired soone to kill .
If I didn’t put up a fight, I would’ve been hacked to death by a group of people in the parking lot four evenings ago.”
Shock filled Gu Yuexi’s eyes, “He hired an assassin to kill you?”
Lin Chen nodded, “I’m just your fake boyfriend.
You wouldn’t think I wanted to kill him just because he wanted to pursue you and be with you.”
The tension suddenly left Gu Yuexi’s face, “I see.
So, what about the car accident just now?”
Lin Chen answered honestly, “He hired soone to kill , so I told the hired person to either kill his employer or I would kill him myself.
Only one of them could live.”
Gu Yuexi understood, and her body finally relaxed, “So the hired person killed him to save his own life?”
Lin Chen looked at Gu Yuexi’s reaction, sowhat surprised, “What kind of reaction is that?
You looked so scared just now.”
Gu Yuexi bit her lip, “I misunderstood earlier.
I thought Wu Jiajun had been causing trouble for you and pestering , so you decided to kill him.
If that were the case, I would be quite afraid of you.
But now I know it was him who tried to harm you first, and you were just fighting back.
I’m not scared anymore.”
Lin Chen suddenly understood Gu Yuexi’s change of heart.
If he were the kind of person to kill over small matters, it would an he was cruel and brutal by nature.
Who wouldn’t be afraid of such a ruthless person?
But once she realized it was Wu Jiajun who tried to harm him first, and he was just fighting back – even though it wasn’t him who directly killed – she was no longer afraid.
Normal people would be afraid of evil-doers who kill others, but they wouldn’t be afraid of a victim who kills an evil-doer in self-defense.
Lin Chen curiously asked, “Wu Jiajun is dead, aren’t you sad?”
Gu Yuexi pouted, “When I first saw his death in the car accident, I was shocked and sowhat sad.
Although I really dislike him, I still know him.
But when I found out that he hired an assassin to take your life, I have no reason to be sad anymore.
Especially since you even saved his life on the mountainside, but he repaid kindness with ingratitude.
He deserved to die!”
After a pause, Gu Yuexi’s eyes lit up as she looked at Lin Chen, “Now that you’ve told about this secretive matter, aren’t you afraid that I’ll tell Wu Jiajun’s parents?”
Lin Chen laughed, “Since I chose to tell you, I naturally believe you won’t do that.
Firstly, you’re not that kind of person.
Secondly, if this gets blown up, it wouldn’t benefit , you, or the Gu Family.”
Gu Yuexi nodded, “Yes, if his parents knew the truth, they would definitely hate and the Gu Family.”
Lin Chen nodded, “Your acceptance ability is quite strong.”
“Those who court death will die.”
Gu Yuexi snorted, “The one who kills will be killed in turn.
The fact is, you are powerful.
If you were just an ordinary person, you would’ve died by now.
Thinking about it makes feel that he isn’t wronged in his death.”
Lin Chen said with a laugh, “He was wealthy and powerful, used to acting domineering, solving trouble using the most direct thods.
He just picked the wrong target this ti.”
Gu Yuexi curiously asked, “How did you guys arrange for the car accident?
It seed very real.”
Lin Chen shook his head, “To be honest, I’m not sure.”
As they were talking, Lin Chen’s phone rang.
It was Lai Yiliang.
Lin Chen didn’t avoid Gu Yuexi and directly answered, “Hello?”
Lai Yiliang’s respectful voice ca through, “Mr.
Lin, Wu Jiajun just had a car accident and died on the scene.”
Lin Chen replied with a hum, glancing at Gu Yuexi who was listening attentively, “I passed by the scene and saw it already.
What happened to the driver?”
Lai Yiliang responded, “He’s a terminal cancer patient with only half a month to live.
I gave him so money to settle down and promised to help get his child into a good school.”
Lin Chen’s face was calm, “Make sure you keep your promise and do it well.”
Lai Yiliang shuddered, quickly assuring him, “Don’t worry, Mr.
Lin.
I will fulfill the promise and do it well!”
Lin Chen nodded, “Alright, we’re even now.”
Lai Yiliang sighed in relief and hesitated for a mont, “Mr.
Lin…”
Lin Chen responded, “What’s the matter?”
Lai Yiliang’s voice sounded uneasy, “Zhao Zong asked about the situation here.
I couldn’t hide it from him, so I had to tell him…”
Lin Chen didn’t mind, “I see.”
Lai Yiliang’s voice lowered, “From what I gather, Zhao Zong probably won’t let Li Liangwen’s death go unnoticed.
He might take action against you.
Please be careful, Mr.
Lin.”
Lin Chen looked sowhat surprised, “Why would you tell this?”
Lai Yiliang replied, “You spared my life twice.
I just wanted to repay you.”
Lin Chen suddenly asked, “If Li Liangwen is dead, who manages the Black Bamboo Company?”
Lai Yiliang’s voice sounded a bit embarrassed, “Zhao Zong asked to temporarily manage it.”
Lin Chen chuckled, “Well then, congratulations on your promotion.”
With caution in his voice, Lai Yiliang replied, “It’s all thanks to Mr.
Lin’s grace!”
Lin Chen said nothing more and hung up the phone.
He turned to Gu Yuexi, “Did you understand?”
Gu Yuexi shook her head, “I understand, yet I don’t… Who is Li Liangwen, and how did he die?”
