Lin Xingwan, completely unprepared, was so startled by the scene before her that she almost sprang up from the bed. Thinking she was asleep, she quickly lowered her head and looked at her body.
Fortunately, she was still wearing clothes.
"You… why are you all in my room for no reason?"
Lin Xingwan's tone was filled with confusion. After she asked, Xu Jingkuan was the first to answer, "We were worried about you. You were drunk last night, and it's already noon, but you're still not awake. We were worried something might have happened to you."
Xu Jingkuan's eyes were full of affection, and he looked at Lin Xingwan with immense satisfaction. Even though Lin Xingwan was still wearing a mask, it didn't detract from her beauty.
Although he had felt that what he had done back then was incredibly foolish due to his emotions, he then thought that it was precisely because of that foolishness that he had such a daughter. Xu Jingkuan felt that if given another chance, he would still make the same choice.
What is love?
It's not about forever, but about having had it!
Even those men didn't have the right to have children with Ling Ruo, only he did! Ling Ruo had given him a child, and from another perspective, he was also at the peak of his life!
"I'm fine, I just had a bit too much to drink," Lin Xingwan replied awkwardly.
Duan Muxing then said, "If you're fine, then get ready. We should leave too. After all, Yanjing is very lively right now. If we waste time here, we'll miss a good show."
Duan Muxing spoke with a mysterious air, and Lin Xingwan immediately asked, "What happened in Yanjing?"
"I won't tell you," Duan Muxing's expression became even more mysterious. Lin Xingwan felt as if she were being tickled by a kitten's claws, the urge to know was so strong that she couldn't help but cast pleading eyes at Duan Muxing.
"Just tell me, you'll tell me sooner or later anyway. Just tell me…"
Lin Xingwan was never one to act spoiled, but her voice was naturally soft and sweet. Duan Muxing felt his heart melting from her gentle voice.
He hadn't had much of an impression of this woman before.
But now, whenever he saw her, he couldn't help but smile.
Moreover, Duan Muxing felt that even though they had only met, he was already starting to miss her uncontrollably.
"You want to know, hmm?" Duan Muxing asked.
Lin Xingwan nodded affirmatively, "Mm."
"I just won't tell you."
With that, Duan Muxing pressed a button on his wheelchair and headed out. Qingluan, who was standing by, was stunned. It was the first time she had seen her young master wear such a pure smile. In fact, the young master looked so full of life, no longer as listless as before.
Lin Xingwan watched Duan Muxing's retreating back, grinding her teeth in frustration.
She quickly washed up and then headed outside.
A helicopter was already parked in the middle of the vast courtyard.
As Lin Xingwan walked out, she happened to see Zhou Jinbai with Cen Zhiyuan's arm around her waist.
They seemed to be talking about something. Cen Zhiyuan lowered her head slightly, leaning towards Zhou Jinbai, who looked at her affectionately. Their presence together was like a beautiful painting.
Lin Xingwan's mood turned sour again.
From her initial surprise at how quickly Zhou Jinbai and Cen Zhiyuan's relationship had heated up, Lin Xingwan now felt that they were meant to be together.
Lin Xingwan's gaze didn't linger on Zhou Jinbai and Cen Zhiyuan for too long. Instead, she walked directly to Duan Muxing and said, "Let's go."
She didn't want to see Zhou Jinbai. She just wanted revenge quickly, then find a place far from Zhou Jinbai and never see this man again for the rest of her life.
Duan Muxing nodded. He, Qingluan, and Lin Xingwan boarded the helicopter.
Zhou Jinbai watched as the helicopter door slowly closed, his calm expression replaced by a dark one.
For Zhou Jinbai, the fact that his wife no longer cared about him being with another woman, and even boarded a helicopter with another man in front of him, was truly… enough to make him want to destroy everything.
Cen Zhiyuan had a look of schadenfreude on her face.
"It seems your playing hard to get didn't work. When a woman truly wants to leave you, nothing you do can win back her heart."
Cen Zhiyuan clicked her tongue and sighed, feeling a sense of pity for the situation between Lin Xingwan and Zhou Jinbai.
Although Cen Zhiyuan had initially disliked Lin Xingwan for stealing the man she fancied, and had even considered using some means to make Lin Xingwan disappear, she now thought that Zhou Jinbai was quite uninteresting.
Apart from being intelligent and handsome, there was nothing else about him that attracted her.
She felt that if she were to marry this man in the future, they would have no common language other than making money, and the future would be bleak.
"I don't need to win back her heart, because her heart has always been with me. I'm just following the path she planned. After all, she went to such great lengths to leave me, so she must have had her reasons. I suspect that scoundrel Duan Muxing used some trick to force her."
Cen Zhiyuan found it nauseating to listen to him. People often said that a woman in love was fatal, but now it seemed that a man in love could be just as fatal.
For example, looking at the man in front of her, Cen Zhiyuan felt that she couldn't bear to look at him for another second.
"Maybe she left willingly? Duan Muxing is also good-looking, and I even think his gentle appearance is indeed more appealing to girls than yours."
Cen Zhiyuan disdainfully pushed away the hand around her waist. The helicopter was about to take off, so there was no point in continuing the act.
"You like Duan Muxing, don't you?" Zhou Jinbai asked.
Cen Zhiyuan looked at Zhou Jinbai in confusion. Unexpectedly, the man continued, "You like weak men like that, huh? Your taste is twisted."
Cen Zhiyuan: "..."
She looked like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, baring its teeth at someone.
Inside the helicopter.
Lin Xingwan's mind was filled with images of Zhou Jinbai and Cen Zhiyuan together. She suddenly felt that she should have brought more alcohol. She hadn't drunk enough last night.
"Zhou Jinbai and Cen Zhiyuan were destined to be together. Regardless of whether you appeared or not, they were each other's perfect match. Otherwise, whether Zhou Jinbai married another woman or Cen Zhiyuan married another man, it would have ended in tragedy."
Duan Muxing seemed to be able to read Lin Xingwan's mind, and he even knew why she was feeling so down.
Lin Xingwan looked at Duan Muxing, unsure of what to say.
Duan Muxing then said, "Weren't you curious about what was happening in Yanjing?"
After Duan Muxing spoke, Lin Xingwan's curiosity was indeed piqued.
She had almost let her thoughts be misled by the matter of Zhou Jinbai and Cen Zhiyuan.
"Last night, do you know what kind of storm you stirred up on the internet by having those reporters publish those things?" Duan Muxing didn't answer Lin Xingwan's question directly but instead asked her back.
Lin Xingwan shook her head. After all, she had been completely drunk last night and had no idea what had happened.
Seeing the eager look in Lin Xingwan's eyes, Duan Muxing's Adam's apple bobbed.
"After the news of Helian Diejin's adoption was exposed, the media began to embellish the story. Helian Diejin was focused on dealing with this matter, but unexpectedly, many cases of human trafficking and body snatching were later exposed. Do you remember the time you were kidnapped in Qingxi Town?"
When Duan Muxing asked this, Lin Xingwan immediately nodded affirmatively, "Of course I remember. That was the first time I encountered such a heinous act. In the eyes of those people, their own kind were worse than pigs and dogs."
If Zhou Jinbai hadn't arrived in time to rescue them, Lin Xingwan believed she would have died long ago.
"That Brother Dong was actually Helian Diejin's subordinate. It's just that Brother Dong's status was too low, so he didn't even know who his superior was."
The news Duan Muxing revealed made Lin Xingwan's eyes widen in shock, "You mean… Helian Diejin was involved in these matters?"
Even now, the arrogant faces of those people were still vivid in Lin Xingwan's mind.
Although Zhou Jinbai had handled the matter at the time, Lin Xingwan never imagined that their superior would be Helian Diejin.
"It's not just Helian Diejin. There are many people in this organization, but they are distributed all over the world. They have formed a massive gray industry chain, earning hundreds of billions of yuan annually from these activities alone. Helian Diejin is just a puppet for them in China. Last night, someone took advantage of your exposé to bring down Shi Zhesheng as well."
Almost every time Duan Muxing spoke, he revealed a lot of new information to Lin Xingwan, and her curiosity had reached an unprecedented level.
"Young Master, if you explain it to the Young Madam bit by bit like this, she'll be so anxious she'll die. Why don't you let her see for herself how far things have developed?"
Qingluan couldn't stand it anymore. In her memory, her young master wasn't a patient person either. But seeing him patiently explaining things to the young madam, Qingluan felt a sense of unease.
She even felt that this man, apart from his appearance, was not the person she knew!
"Yes, I'd rather see for myself. The way you're explaining it is making me so anxious."
After Lin Xingwan spoke, Duan Muxing, feeling helpless, finally had Qingluan hand Lin Xingwan a tablet.
When Lin Xingwan's gaze fell upon the tablet screen, she was stunned by the information reported.
#Shi Zhesheng Falls# #Shi Zhesheng is a wolf in sheep's clothing, he should go to hell# #Hundreds of internet celebrities exposed for participating in illegal transactions#
...
All sorts of reports had taken over the headlines. Although Helian Diejin seemed to be only scorned for her background, the successive revelations were actually much more serious than the issue of her identity.
It's just that these onlookers didn't know the truth.
However, the whole world was paying attention to this matter, and many netizens who didn't understand anything were no longer foolishly sending themselves to their doom.
"This… I didn't do so many things, why did it suddenly become like this?"
Lin Xingwan covered her mouth as she spoke, afraid that she might lose control of her emotions if she wasn't careful.
Duan Muxing's expression was calm, "It's obvious that Helian Diejin has too many enemies, so these people are just waiting for this opportunity to bring her down."
Lin Xingwan found this explanation quite credible, as Helian Diejin indeed had no character.
What surprised Lin Xingwan the most was the matter of Shi Zhesheng. She never expected Shi Zhesheng to fall in such a way, leading to so many revelations. It could only be said that he deserved it for his evil deeds!
"However, after this incident, you will be exposed to the eyes of dangerous people. Helian Diejin might not be able to immediately figure out that you were behind it, but the forces behind Helian Diejin are not to be underestimated. It would be easy for them to find you."
Duan Muxing warned Lin Xingwan. In fact, Duan Muxing hadn't expected Lin Xingwan to post the information online last night. This was almost a month earlier than he had planned.
But on second thought, it might be for the best. Perhaps the things he most wanted to happen would be answered the fastest.
"I know. From the moment I left Zhou Jinbai, I knew that every step I took was dangerous."
Lin Xingwan's expression seemed calm, but her unconsciously clenched fists revealed her nervous emotions.
Duan Muxing looked at Lin Xingwan's self-deceptive demeanor and, at that moment, felt a pang of heartache for her isolated and helpless appearance.
Duan Muxing felt that he had become too sentimental lately. Otherwise, why would he always show so many emotions towards Lin Xingwan?
The helicopter was still flying in the sky, and the events of last night were still unfolding.
After four or five days of this, Helian Diejin finally learned who was behind her downfall.
