Contract Marriage: Boss, Let's divorce-Chapter 914 - 913: Invite the Enemy into the Trap (Part 3)

The relationship between Xiao Chen and Ling Yunshu was surprisingly deep; the two were already entangled during their time in the United States. Three years ago, when Ling Yunshu was sent to the U.S. for further studies by his mother, he had vaguely heard that Xiao Chen also went to the U.S. However, he did not associate the two at that time. In retrospect, apart from the first year, the two had been in frequent contact for the following two years, maintaining a close relationship. Xiao Chen even returned with Ling Yunshu when he came back to the country.

Although the records didn’t clearly state whether they were in a romantic relationship, even if they were not, it is undeniable that Xiao Chen deeply loved Ling Yunshu.

So his suspicions were not wrong; the incident with Chuxia was orchestrated by Xiao Chen and Ling Yunshu, and that man was someone from Xiao Chen’s side. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

The reason they couldn’t get that man to talk before was because they lacked direction. Now that they had a direction, he naturally had ways to make that man speak the truth. The investigation had reached a point where it was conclusive. As long as that man opened his mouth, Xiao Chen directing someone to abuse Chuxia would be irrefutable evidence. Once reported, he certainly had ways to ensure that Xiao Chen spent the rest of his life in prison.

Regardless of their cousinly bond, targeting Ling Chuxia touched upon his bottom line.

However... Shi Che was keenly aware that, although the deed was done by Xiao Chen, in truth, the idea absolutely came from Ling Yunshu. Xiao Chen was merely an accomplice; the truly venomous mind, the mastermind behind the scenes, was Ling Yunshu.

He could catch Xiao Chen, but he could not catch Ling Yunshu, because in this affair, Ling Yunshu had completely cleared herself, leaving no trace of her involvement or evidence.

Therefore, even if he caught Xiao Chen, Ling Yunshu could still walk away scot-free.

He suddenly felt deep regret, regretting why he hadn’t paid more attention to her back then. Although he had seen through her malicious misguidance, he considered Chuxia, since she was Chuxia’s elder sister. Hence, he only gave her a minor reprimand. Later, when Chuxia and she broke ties, and she never appeared again, he thought she at least still retained some familial affection. But now, it seemed she was utterly devoid of conscience.

This time, he would never let her off easily.

Shi Che placed his hand on the documents, gradually tightening his grip, unconsciously enveloped by a wave of coldness.

After a while, he composed himself slightly, his dark eyes lifted as he looked at the man standing respectfully before him, and he spoke faintly, "Help me send out a message...".

Ling Yunshu had been much more well-behaved these days, but this compliance was not something she desired. She still occasionally wanted to go directly to Mrs. Shi or directly seek out the media to expose those photos. She wouldn’t feel at ease or satisfied until she saw Shi Che and Ling Chuxia in pain.

However, what Xiao Chen said to her that day made her wary. After all, she wanted Shi Che and Ling Chuxia to suffer, but she didn’t want to make herself suffer too. So she could only try her best to restrain herself and avoid making any reckless moves.

The sky had unknowingly darkened, and night had deepened. Ling Yunshu looked up at the clock on the wall; it was already eleven o’clock at night.

She furrowed her brow slightly. Xiao Chen had been coming back on time these days, perhaps to keep an eye on her so that she wouldn’t act impulsively again. But why hadn’t he returned by this hour today?

Ling Yunshu thought about it and couldn’t help picking up her phone to dial Xiao Chen’s number.
