Flash Marriage: The Billionaire Addicted to Her-Chapter 619

Upper City was in complete chaos.

Xiao Li had previously been terrified of Xiao Linye, yet from yesterday until now, he had stubbornly remained in Xiao Linye’s office, refusing to leave.

Xiao Linye’s face was a livid shade.

He had instructed Kang Xuan to escort Xiao Li away, but no matter what was said, Xiao Li refused to depart.

Seeing Xiao Linye return from a meeting, Xiao Li stood up nervously. "Seventh Brother, Ashuo really didn’t kill anyone. He doesn’t have the guts."

Xiao Li had at least some understanding of his own son.

Xiao Linye sat down in his executive chair, pulled out a cigarette, lit it, and took a deep drag. "I will handle this matter. You should go back first."

The matter with Xiao Shuo needs to be dealt with as soon as possible.

"Really? Is that true?" Xiao Li asked. "Then what about your end?"

"Don’t worry about it. Just go back first."

It was unclear whether Xiao Linye was tired of Xiao Li’s pestering or felt that Xiao Shuo had been punished enough. In any case, Xiao Linye was finally relenting.

Hearing him finally give in, Xiao Li also sighed with relief. "Okay, okay, I’ll go back first. But please take care of Ashuo’s situation quickly. He’s been in there for too long already."

Thinking of the time Xiao Shuo had spent locked up, Xiao Li felt particularly heartbroken.

Every parent hopes their child will achieve great things! But in the face of such a severe ordeal, a child’s safety becomes the foremost wish.

No matter how much he had previously hoped that Xiao Shuo could toughen up and learn from this experience, Xiao Li was now filled with regret.

Compared to Xiao Shuo making a name for himself, he just wanted his son to live a peaceful and uneventful life. Suddenly, all those so-called future prospects seemed irrelevant.

Xiao Linye waved his hand, clearly not wanting to continue the conversation.

"I’m going. I’ll leave now," Xiao Li said, afraid that Xiao Linye might change his mind again. He didn’t dare provoke him further.

He was well aware of the current situation: his father was still in the hospital and couldn’t handle any agitation. Now, the only hope for Xiao Shuo’s situation rested entirely with Xiao Linye.

Xiao Li left.

Xiao Linye pinched the bridge of his throbbing nose, feeling incredibly irritable.

When Kang Xuan came in to deliver documents, he saw Xiao Linye’s exasperated expression.

"Sir," Kang Xuan approached.

"Has Lai Shuo left?" Xiao Linye asked.

"Yes, he’s already on his way to the eastern region!"

Hearing that Lai Shuo had departed, Xiao Linye felt a slight sense of relief.

"What’s the state of public opinion now?" he asked, referring to Xiao Shuo.

He had initially thought that as long as they got news of Ye Yuning, Gui Xingli would completely back off. Who would have thought she wouldn’t stop, and would even escalate things now? And now Ling Yan has inexplicably joined in as well.

When public opinion was mentioned, Kang Xuan’s expression turned grave. He shook his head. "It’s not looking good."

Not good... That means things are very troublesome now, Xiao Linye thought.

"How troublesome is it?" he asked.

"Currently, Miss Gui and Miss Ling are coordinating very effectively on this matter. It’s not easy for us to suppress it," Kang Xuan explained. "Moreover, the news has already spread throughout Luozhou and Hong City!"

Hearing Luozhou and Hong City mentioned, an even darker glint flashed in Xiao Linye’s eyes.

Ye Yuning... This woman, rumored to be so despicable, who could have imagined so many people would step up for her when she suddenly got into trouble? If she were truly that despicable, would these people be helping her so readily for no reason? Setting aside Gui Xingli for a moment, Xia Andai and Ling Yan—aren’t they both daughters of prominent families? These people, who usually hold their noses high, are helping out like this now. It shows their relationship at school was anything but ordinary. The rumors said they didn’t get along! But now, it seems those were just rumors...

"Xiao Shuo must be released as soon as possible," Xiao Linye said coldly, taking a drag from his cigarette.

Hearing this, Kang Xuan hesitated, then said with some concern, "We’ve already missed the optimal window for action. At this point, handling this matter won’t be easy."

The entire country was paying close attention to this. Right now, it wasn’t just about clearing Xiao Shuo’s name. Forcing the issue would reflect poorly on both the Xiao Corporation and the Xiao Family.

"Have Yunzhou investigate the truth behind the car accident!" Xiao Linye ordered, his expression grim.

The dangerous edge in his voice was directed not only at Gui Xingli but also at his own father. The mere thought that his father had orchestrated the car accident to permanently eliminate Ye Yuning sent an uncontrollable rage surging through him.

Using Qi Mulan’s driver’s death to frame Ye Yuning. To not only kill but also to crush one’s spirit... this was the height of malice.

"Understood," Kang Xuan nodded. Besides uncovering the truth of the car accident, there seemed to be no other option.

Kang Xuan departed.

Left alone in the office, the dangerous glint in Xiao Linye’s eyes became even more uncontrollable.

After lighting another cigarette, the phone on his desk began to buzz insistently.

He picked it up. The call was from Country F!

Xiao Linye frowned and answered, "Hello?"

"It’s me."

Qin Jinchuan’s deep voice came from the other end.

Hearing his voice, Xiao Linye’s breathing grew heavier. "Where did you go?"

How long had it been? They had never lost contact for so long before.

"I’m in Country F," Qin Jinchuan replied. "Didn’t Ji Nan tell you?"

"He did," Xiao Linye said coldly.

Ji Nan did say so, but clearly, we didn’t believe him. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

But now, with Qin Jinchuan calling from a Country F number, some of Xiao Linye’s suspicions began to dissipate.
