Chapter 331

Looking at the cars leaving one after another by the window, Gong Cheng let out a sigh of relief because he was afraid of provoking a huge row with He Jingyan.

‘Has the Commander persuaded him?’

Gong Cheng thought He Jingyan had given up when he saw him retreat. However, things were going in the opposite direction.

“I just heard gunshots. What’s going on? Why did He Jingyan appear here in anger? Has anything happened to Yangyi?”

Xu Jing stood next to Gong Cheng and bombarded him with questions, panic in his eyes.

Xu Jing knew nothting about the conspiracy behind the marriage between Xu Yangyi and He Jingyan. Same as Xu Yangyi, he thought Xu Yangyi married He Jingyan because Xu Nuannuan had run away.

How could things go smoothly when Gong Cheng wasn’t around? It was because Gong Cheng knew Xu Jing well and predicted that he would replace Xu Nuannuan with Xu Yangyi.

At that time, Xu Yangyi wanted to run away, but he didn’t have the time as he was ‘caught’ by He Jingyan, who was sent by He Bingwei to wait outside the door instead of coming to see his fiancee. He Bingwei did that in case Xu Yangyi attempted to escape.

Everything was carefully designed. He Jingyan, Xu Yangyi, and Xu Jing were all victims of deception.

“You ask me so many questions at one time. Which question do you want me to answer first?”

When he turned to Xu Jing, the gloomy expression on Gong Cheng’s face had disappeared, and he teased with a smile.

“How is Yangyi doing? Is he safe now? Is he bullied by He Jingyan?”

Xu Jing’s worry was not groundless, as he thought He Jingyan would be angry since Xu Yangyi was only a substitute.

‘Things would be easy to deal with if He Jingyan only bullies Yangyi.’

“Did anything happen to Yangyi? Is he bullied by He Jingyan? Or He Jingyan asks for a divorce?’

Gong Cheng’s silence scared Xu Jing, who turned pale.

“Yangyi is not bullied, and there will be no divorce. It’s just a misunderstanding. He Jingyan has already gone, right?” Gong Cheng knew how to deal with Xu Jing and he lied without blinking.

Xu Jing believed him. After all, nothing had happened. On a second thought, he hurriedly asked, “But why were there gunshots just now?”

‘It should be gunshots! I should hear them right.’

“And why were there so many armed guys downstairs?”

Xu Jing couldn’t stop asking questions, as he felt scared. Gong Cheng didn’t explain anything to him, just like now, he was perfunctory.

“They were just bodyguards. The gun went off by accident just now. Nothing happened.”

No matter what question Xu Jing asked, Gong Cheng could it answer calmly, as if nothing had happened.

Xu Jing was suspicious, because Gong Cheng was too calm. However, because Gong Cheng was too calm, he couldn’t stop doubting if there was really something wrong.

‘Was it really just an accident? Did I think too much?’

“Okay! You have to tell me if something happens in the future. Don’t always hide it from me. I will feel scared if I don’t know anything.” Xu Jing chose to believe him.

Gong Cheng should feel happy, but when he saw the look on Xu Jing’s face, his eyes dimmed. He held Xu Jing in his arms with a grave look.

“I will explain everything clearly to you later. Now, leave this to me. You don’t have to worry about anything, just trust me.”
