After he was done speaking, Lu Yanchen brought Shi Guang into the car, leaving a frightfully pale He Xinnuo.

As the car moved forth, Shi Guang turned back—the reporters were already swarming He Xinnuo. Lu Yanchen’s words from earlier apparently had an effect as she was nerve wrecked and dodged the questions best as she could, not daring to speak nonsensically again.

Shi Guang found an arm wrapping around her shoulders, pulling her tightly into Lu Yanchen’s embrace. Looking back, Shi Guang hugged him tightly, feeling both relieved and anxious.

She asked with a sniffle, “Are you alright?”

He lowered his head and kissed her on the forehead. “What could happen to me? Haven’t I already told you not to worry? I’m just there to help them with the investigation.”

She leaned her head against his chest and listened to his steady breathing before finally calming down.

“But, that video... Initially, I had thought that it was fake. But later on, they said that it was authentic, and could not find any traces of editing in it. Right now, everyone’s framing you for the murder. How could I not worry!” She said in a huff, “For the sake of revenge, Shi Ze’s truly unscrupulous! I don’t know what else he’s going to do next, since there’ll always be people who treasure money more than life, like that Wu Xing...!”

Shi Guang trailed off before looking at Lu Yanchen. “Being framed is way too scary. I know this feeling all too well!”

She was framed for doping one too many times before.

Lu Yanchen fondled her face. “Do you believe me?”

With a video like that, it was tough for anyone to believe in him. After all, humans only believed in what they could see.

Shi Guang was absolutely certain. “Of course!”

He smiled and hugged her even tighter.

At the front, Chu Mubei looked at Little Chen who was driving beside him. “Those that fall into the pits of love are helpless. Even in this situation, those two are still lovey dovey and all.”

Shi Guang eyed him. “Chu Mubei, just you wait! If you ever get moved and fall in love with some lass, watch how I’ll make fun of you!”

Chu Mubei was firm. “That’s absolutely impossible!”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Lu Yanchen then looked at Chu Mubei. “Go and check up on that Wu Xing and all his accounts, as well as the state his family is in right now, including any previous medical records or hospital visits or whatnot. I want everything tracked completely.”

“Hospital? Why would you want his hospital records?” Chu Mubei was perplexed.

“He told me that he can no longer live, and that he wanted to do something meaningful for his family before he died. He also wished for me to not implicate his family because of him, and that he was at his wit’s end.” Lu Yanchen’s gaze narrowed.

“F*ck, what bullsh*t is that? He traded his life for money, you mean?” Chu Mubei remarked as he started making calls for people to get on with the investigation.

Shi Guang looked at Lu Yanchen. “Just what happened on the rooftop that day?”

Chu Mubei turned back curiously as well.

“We’ll talk again after we review the footages.”

“Footages?”

Little Chen, who had been silent the entire time, spoke up, “Before Young Master Lu went for the banquet, he arranged for aerial videos to be taken.”

Chu Mubei burst out laughing. “F*ck! I knew you wouldn’t do anything without a backup plan, Old Lu!”

Lu Yanchen was silent—he truly had not expected that Shi Ze would replicate that same crime scene for his father onto him as a form of revenge. Indeed, he had overestimated Shi Ze—no matter how many years it had been, that man’s weakness was still his haste in achieving success!
