Chapter 22

“If you want to get to the bottom of it, I can help you.” Knowing that Xu Yangyi was reluctant to believe the result given by the police, He Jingyan held him in the arms and said in a gentle tone.

‘I’ve thought that he is a furious but innocent horse, while I never expect that he had such a miserable experiment. However, the death about my mother-in-law, unlike a simple accident, sounds very suspicious.’ He Jingyan thought inwardly.

Uncommonly, Xu Yangyi was well-behaved in He Jingyan’s arms, but he said, “I will investigate my mom’s death by myself, but thanks for your proposal anyway.”

He Jingyan had foreseen he would say so, so he was not too surprised. He knew that his wife had high self-esteem and wouldn’t accept his assistance; however, he wouldn’t give up his help, even if Xu Yangyi had refused it, so he said, “Anyway, it relates to my mother-in-law, so how can I just stand by?”

The moment He Jingyan finished, Xu Yangyi sullenly stressed in no time, “She is not your mother-in-law! I have told you many times that I’m not…”

“But if it were your elder sister who married me, your mom is also my mother-in-law, right?” Xu Yangyi wanted to say “I’m not your wife”, but before he could finish, he had been interrupted by He Jingyan, who joyfully smiled.

Xu Yangyi stupefied and agreed inwardly, “That’s true.” Nonetheless, he ferociously glanced at He Jingyan who was smiling with full of delight in his eyes at once. “But it is me who married you. You can’t fool me.” After that, Xu Yangyi was flabbergasted. ‘Damn it. How could I say that I married him?’ Xu Yangyi was perturbed to scratch his head and then scolded, “Anyway, she is not your mother-in-law.”

‘Xu Yangyi, you idiot,’ Xu Yangyi abused himself inwardly.

However, He Jingyan put on a big smile, because he intentionally played the trick with Xu Yangyi.

“What are you f**king laughing about? You freaking cunning man!” Realizing that he had been fooled, Xu Yangyi angrily gave He Jingyan a punch as hard as he could. If it were in the normal times, He Jingyan wouldn’t feel any pain about it; however now, he crinkled up his eyebrows, seeming that he was really in great pain.

“Darling, I’m injured now. Can’t you just go easy on me?” He looked not good with some sweat on his forehead, but Xu Yangyi turned a deaf ear to it, thinking that He Jingyan was pretending to be weak for winning his sympathy. Therefore, he directly pushed He Jingyan away, proudly crossed his arms and then coldly glanced at He Jingyan, “You a liar!”

‘You shameless. You’re pretending, aren’t you? You won’t die for just bleeding on your forehead.’

Long Shen, sitting in front and driving the car, also thought that He Jingyan was teasing Xu Yangyi, so he didn’t care too much. The only thing in his mind now was to drive the car all the way to meet their men before the enemies would catch them up.

After a while, the vibe in the car turned to be dull and quiet, which probably because He Jingyan didn’t make fun of Xu Yangyi.

At the moment when Xu Yangyi was puzzled for He Jingyan’s silence, he suddenly noticed that He Jingyan’s arm beside his felt cold and wet.

With curiosity, Xu Yangyi touched his own arm and finally dilated his pupils – because his hand was full of blood, and blood was still dripping down to the floor from He Jingyan’s arm.

“What? Are you scared by this?” Seeing the frightened face of Xu Yangyi, He Jingyan leaned against the cushion in great pain and suddenly laughed out. “It seems that my arm is fractured.”

‘It seems not a big deal for you especially when you said in such a light tone. Your face gets gradually pale probably because of excessive bleeding. How can you still laugh in such a condition?’ Xu Yangyi complained inwardly.
