She Asks for a Divorce Again-Chapter 439: Not So Simple

Shen Heyu walked out of the hospital at top speed and arrived at the coffee shop, where she immediately spotted Lu Yi by the window.

She quickened her pace and walked towards Lu Yi, and the first thing she asked was about Yuexue.

Lu Yi ordered a cup of coffee for Shen Heyu, "They covered their tracks well, didn’t leave a trace, even the surveillance was thoroughly deleted."

Shen Heyu stood still for a second before she set down her bag and took a seat.

Her gaze uneasily fixed on the coffee in front of her, "They boldly called us, directly telling us that Yuexue is in their hands. That means they’re ninety percent sure we won’t find any evidence."

"What should we do now?" Lu Yi looked at Shen Heyu, who appeared somewhat exhausted.

Shen Heyu picked up the spoon and stirred the coffee clockwise, the bitter aroma of the coffee already permeating the air.

When the aroma of the coffee reached Shen Heyu, her stomach clenched painfully, and she winced, causing Lu Yi to reach out and gently support her shoulder.

"How are you feeling? Are you okay? Do you want to go to the hospital for a check-up?"

Shen Heyu shook her head, "I’m fine."

"Chen Wenzhou wants something very simple, to sever my ties completely with Pei Yansi. They promise that as soon as Pei Yansi marries Chen Lingmeng, they will return Yuexue to me."

Shen Heyu said this with an especially feeble voice, her entire soul seemed to be drained, leaving just an empty shell sitting there.

"Do you believe what they said?" Lu Yi asked seriously.

Shen Heyu didn’t answer; she just mechanically stirred her coffee.

"As long as Yuexue is in their hands for one day, they control your life for that day. If they start to enjoy this leverage, would they easily let Yuexue go?" Lu Yi, being an outsider, could see the issue clearly.

Shen Heyu looked up at Lu Yi, she too was worried about this, feeling that the Chen family would not keep their promise.

The biggest challenge for the Chen family now is to persuade Pei Yansi to willingly marry Yuexue.

Even if they manage to marry this time, various challenges could arise afterward, involving Shen Heyu again and using Yuexue to force Shen Heyu into doing things he doesn’t want to do.

"You also know that those people can’t be trusted?" Lu Yi’s hand on the table slowly clenched into a fist.

He didn’t believe the words of Chen family, and it surprised him that someone as clever as Shen Heyu would easily believe their schemes.

"But what can I do? Yuexue is in their hands. If I don’t cooperate and listen to them, I’m afraid they’ll hurt Yuexue." Shen Heyu couldn’t help but tightly clench the spoon.

Lu Yi looked at Shen Heyu’s distressed appearance and felt equally anxious.

"Actually, there’s something I’m not sure whether or not I should say," Lu Yi appeared somewhat troubled.

"What?" Shen Heyu asked curiously, looking at Lu Yi.

Lu Yi lowered his head, seeming to struggle with himself, still undecided about whether to reveal the plan he had been brewing.

"If you have any way to save Yuexue, tell me quickly. Even if it’s risky, I must try to do it." Shen Heyu anxiously raised her hand and gripped Lu Yi’s arm.

Lu Yi looked up, and after an internal struggle, he finally chose to speak.

"Actually, you can inform Pei Yansi. After all, Yuexue is also his daughter. He definitely won’t sit idly by. Instead of us fighting like trapped animals, it’s better to work both inside and out with Pei Yansi to rescue Yuexue sooner."

Upon hearing what Lu Yi said, Shen Heyu slowly released her grip on his hand, and from her expression, it was evident that she had also considered this, but she ultimately dismissed the idea.

"Forget it."

"Why forget it? If Pei Yansi knew his daughter was kidnapped, he would spare no effort to get Yuexue out. With just your and my power, facing the Chen Family, we aren’t assured of a win."

"But if we add Pei Yansi, we can definitely rescue Yuexue right under the noses of the Chen Family members without them noticing."

Although Lu Yi always disliked Pei Yansi, he couldn’t deny that Pei Yansi had the capabilities, having money, connections, and methods.

"He got hurt because of me, I don’t want to disturb him at this critical time, I want him to recover well," Shen Heyu muttered, speaking her thoughts out loud.

Hearing this, Lu Yi felt as if his heart was pierced by a sharp object.

At such a time, Shen Heyu was still considering Pei Yansi, who evidently held a special place in her heart.

"I know he was injured because of you, but have you thought about Yuexue being his daughter too? If one day he finds out the truth, that under the threat to his daughter, you told her such harsh words and married the mastermind behind his daughter’s kidnapping, what do you think he would feel?"

What Lu Yi said made sense, and Shen Heyu seriously considered it for a moment.

"But if Pei Yansi knew the Chen Family had kidnapped his daughter, I’m worried he might act unnaturally in front of the Cheng Family members. If he slips up, the Chen Family will act against Yuexue immediately."

Shen Heyu absolutely didn’t want to gamble with Yuexue’s life, she wanted the rescue to be foolproof, even if there was a one in ten thousand risk, she didn’t want to take it.

"You need to trust Pei Yansi." Lu Yi held Shen Heyu’s hand, noticing her hands were cold as ice.

Shen Heyu calmly looked at Lu Yi, "Aren’t you always treating Pei Yansi as your archenemy? I never expected you to speak up for him one day."

Lu Yi smiled helplessly, "I don’t want to speak for him, but I’m telling the truth. In this situation, I hope you will tell Pei Yansi the truth."

"I’ll think about it again," Shen Heyu pulled out her hand that was being held by Lu Yi.

Lu Yi’s palm felt empty, and his heart felt hollow in an instant. He looked at Shen Heyu and said word by word, "If you lack the courage to tell Pei Yansi about this, then I will tell him the truth."

"Should I tell him now?"

"Shen Heyu, this matter is extremely urgent." Yuexue’s kidnapping was no small matter. They must make decisions promptly; the situation couldn’t be delayed any longer.

"If telling Pei Yansi about this ruins your plan and brings harm to Yuexue, if you want to hate or blame someone, then direct it all at me. I’ll take full responsibility."

Lu Yi spoke responsibly to Shen Heyu, prepared for the worst outcome.
