Chapter 450: Embarrassment (Chapter 449) – Part 4(1)

Ye Xiong had always thought that Murong Ruyin was cold and proud, and was completely caught off guard by her show of such agitation.

Perhaps sensing that she had grown too excited, Murong Ruyin took a deep breath and only after a long while did she calm down, “Do you want me to leave? I can go right now.”

“That’s not what I mean. I just want you to prove it, because there are two points of suspicion that make you the prime suspect.”

“What suspicions?”

“First, the killer once entered your office, had the key to your office; secondly, the killer is the same height as you.”

“The lock to my office, not to mention an expert, even a regular thief could pick it with a piece of wire; as for height, there are countless people in Huaxia of my height. Are you suspecting me just because of this?”

“The killer is very familiar with the company’s situation.”

“That only proves that someone leaked the company’s information.”

“Alright, as long as you can prove you have an alibi, you can clear your suspicion,” said Ye Xiong.

“I was at the mall just now.”

“What did you do at the mall?”

“Shopped.”

“What did you buy?” Ye Xiong instinctively asked.

“Do I have to say it?”

“If it were the police, they would ask the same thing.”

Murong Ruyin walked into the room and after a moment, came out with a bag and threw it in front of him, “See for yourself.”

Ye Xiong opened the bag, and upon seeing the contents, he immediately felt embarrassed.

In his hands was a pack of sanitary pads.

He quickly stuffed the pads back into the bag, awkwardly saying, “You could’ve just told me, there was no need to show me.”

“I was afraid you would think I was lying; facts speak louder than words.”

Murong Ruyin’s face grew hot with blush, spreading across her cheeks and adding a flush of color to her already stunning face, like gilding the lily, it made her look even more beautiful.

At this moment, she was like a fairy who had descended to the Mortal Realm, making her seem much more approachable.

Although she was often cold, she was still a woman, and having a man know she was on her period was somewhat embarrassing.

“If I remember correctly, there’s a receipt from the mall in there with the time on it. If you still don’t believe me, you can check the mall’s video footage,” Murong Ruyin said, her cheeks flushed.

Ye Xiong took out the receipt and checked it.

The time indicated on the receipt from a mall several kilometers away coincided with the time the company was attacked; if that was indeed the case, the killer could certainly not be Murong Ruyin.

“I’ve disturbed you, I’ll head back now.” Ye Xiong was ready to leave.

“Wait a minute.”

“Is there something else?” Ye Xiong asked.

“My father said that you’re the most outstanding young man he has ever met, which is why he entrusted me to your care. I trust my father’s judgment; he’s not wrong about people. But even the most outstanding people can make mistakes. I hope you’ll be more objective when you’re judging someone in the future. Often the person you trust the most could be the one who betrays you,” Murong Ruyin said.

“Thanks for the advice,” Ye Xiong prepared to leave but added on a whim, “Don’t wash with cold water, don’t eat cold food, don’t stand in the wind…”

These were all precautions women were advised to take during their periods, but he soon realized that his words were unnecessary.

Murong Ruyin was the Divine Doctor; such simple knowledge surely did not require his reminder.

Murong Ruyin glared at him deathly.

One who says such things is a hoodlum.

Ye Xiong beat a hasty retreat.

He Mengji was waiting downstairs; seeing him come out, she asked eagerly, “How did it go?”

“Let’s check if Murong Ruyin truly has an alibi.”

Next, the two of them headed straight to the mall where Murong Ruyin had been shopping and located the surveillance center to obtain the security footage.

The footage showed that Murong Ruyin had indeed been there shopping, and the time matched the timestamp on the receipt.

“Her face is covered, how can we know if it’s really her?” He Mengji asked doubtfully.

“It’s definitely her.”

Ye Xiong watched her every move for a long while before saying, “An appearance can be faked, but an indifferent attitude can’t be. Look at the way she moves her eyes.”

He Mengji looked closely and after a while, she said, “It should be her.”

“Now we can prove that she isn’t the murderer.”

“We can’t rule out the possibility that she’s an accomplice,” He Mengji suggested.

The two returned to the car and sat in a daze.

If the murderer isn’t Murong Ruyin, then we’ve hit a dead end.

Who could the murderer be?

“Do you think it’s possible that it’s someone from the Beast Organization?” He Mengji asked.

“Besides the people from the Beast Organization, I can’t think of anyone else with the guts to target me,” Ye Xiong said coldly.

“Based on the current situation, there is definitely a mole inside our company, maybe more than one.”

He Mengji felt a defeated sensation; it was indeed daunting to face the members of the Beast Organization, who appeared out of nowhere, indestructible, and innumerable.

“If it were someone else, I wouldn’t be afraid, but I’m worried that one of our core members has been turned.”

These core members all had a close relationship with him, and he truly didn’t want to face a life-and-death struggle with them one day.

“Let’s analyze who might be the mole. The current core members, including Duanmu Linglong who joined today, come to a total of eight: it’s you, Chen Xiao, Vermilion Bird, Angel, An Le, Thirteen, Murong Ruyin, and Duanmu Linglong.”

“Aside from you, I can’t fully trust anyone right now,” Ye Xiong sighed.

“What do we do now?”

“The other party is likely trying to make us fall into disarray and distrust each other. I’m going to act as if nothing has happened. I want to see who can keep their cool,” Ye Xiong stated coldly.

“Since they didn’t succeed this time, they will certainly make another move. We’ll just wait and catch the culprit.”

After that, Ye Xiong drove He Mengji back to her apartment, and then he headed home.

All the way, he thought about the evening’s events, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t make sense of it.

When he turned onto a familiar road, he recognized it.

Wasn’t this the road where he and Yang Xiaoqiao had walked and talked the night before?

That corner wall was precisely where they had passionately kissed the previous night.

A surge of boldness filled Ye Xiong’s heart.

The hard-earned serene life that had just settled down—anyone who dared disturb it was going to pay a steep price.

Up ahead was that same sentimental bar.

Ye Xiong drove up to the place, aiming to have a quiet drink there before going back home.

Today the bar was especially quiet; there wasn’t a single customer in the entire place.

Guo Furong was playing with her phone at the bar when she saw a customer come in. Startled for a moment, she smiled and said, “Young man, which beauty are you meeting with tonight?”

“Tonight, I wanted to come and have a drink with Sister Furong and chat. I wonder if Sister would grace me with her presence?” Ye Xiong leaned on the bar top, his eyes smoldering as he gazed at her.

“Aren’t you afraid your little lover will find out and be unhappy?” Guo Furong chuckled.

“How do you know she’s my lover, not my girlfriend?” Ye Xiong asked with a smile.

“In my eyes, a lover is a girlfriend, and a girlfriend is a lover; there’s no difference,” Furong said with a smile.

“Really?”
