Chapter 486 The Hidden Contract
What Yi Yunrui says is like a cold and sharp knife fiercely sticking into Su Shen’s heart!
Su Shen turns pale. He clenches his fists and looks very nervous. However, he calms down very soon. He closes his eyes and gives a sigh.
“Yes. I deserve that for what I have done!” This is the conclusion Su Shen gives to himself. It is also his admission of regret.
Many times, people will complain that many things are unfair to them while they are not supposed to be treated with injustice. However, they often forget that what happens to them is the consequence of what they have done!
He, Su Shen, used to be proud and happy. He thought he could defeat everything and play with everyone under his control. He never expected that he would set himself up step by step. In the end, he finally realized that those he looked down upon most tended to be the most important.
Even he feels it very ridiculous for him to be aware of this change.
Yi Yunrui looks at him in silence. He holds his wife’s hand tightly, “Are you simply trying to avoid the hunting of Yin Tianyang?”
Su Shen shakes his head. He mocks himself, “Maybe, you will feel it… ironic if I tell you the true reason.”
“You may try.”
Su Shen hesitates for a little while. He takes out a picture from the inner pocket of his s.h.i.+rt and pa.s.ses it to Yi Yunrui and Xia Ning, “Mrs. Yi, this is my wife Xiaolan and this is my son.”
The family of three on the photo smile happily and brightly.
Xia Ning takes the photo in her hand. In an instant, she feels very sad for Su Shen to see him alone now.
“Commander Yi…” Su Shen says in a reluctant voice, “You know Xiaolan’s history. I failed the action and Yin Tianyang got very angry. He wanted to reveal all I have done to the public. I have got prepared to take the countermeasures. Actually, they can’t be called countermeasures. I am alone now. Xiaolan and my son left me early. The rest of life is no better than death to me. Going to jail may be a kind of relief for me.”
Then, Su Shen clenches his hands, “However, Yin Tianyang is going to reveal the ident.i.ty of Xiaolan! I know he wants to do so to humiliate me. This was the most horrifying issue to Xiaolan when she was alive. Now, Xiaolan is dead! I don’t want her to feel unrestful…I have been fighting against Yin Tianyang all these days. However, Yin Tianyang will definitely give me a hard shock if I ever loosen up a little. He will reveal everything about Xiaolan in the most humiliating way…”
Su Shen takes a deep breath when he says so. He feels so upset that he can’t go on with his speech.
Xia Ning feels confused. She wonders what Xiaolan used to do. However, to women, it was always about those things. Su Shen mentioned the word Most Humiliating. Seemingly, it is about something alike with Tang Qieying’s case.
Ah. President Su is quite an affectionate man. Nothing else seems to be a threat to him, except this one… which is meaningless in other people’s eyes.
After all, Xiaolan is dead. It won’t bring any harm to the dead even if the history is revealed. However, it does make a threat to Su Shen. He doesn’t fear death and he doesn’t fear going to jail. However, he fears this very issue.
Thinking about this, Xia Ning turns to look at her husband. Yi Yunrui’s handsome face looks cold. He is aware of the looking from his wife and gently strokes her shoulder.
“What do you come to me for today?”
Su Shen’s eyes brighten as if he has seen some hope. He says, “I know everything about Yin Tianyang! The old fox is tricky and I intentionally keep the record for everything. I want you to help me and prevent him from saying anything about Xiaolan. Besides, before pulling him down, I don’t want anything to happen to me!”
Yi Yunrui thinks for a while. He says in a slow voice, “When will you give me the evidence about Yin Tianyang’s doings?”
“Now.” Su Shen responds and pa.s.ses a disc to Yi Yunrui, “Everything he has done is here.”
Yi Yunrui takes it over. He turns to Zhang Hai, “Zhang Hai, make some arrangement for Mr. Su.”
“Yes, Commander.”
Su Shen is watched by Yin Tianyang. To avoid any accidents, Su Shen goes back to his place. Zhang Hai also arranges some special people to protect Su Shen.
The negotiation lasts only for ten minutes.
When Su Shen drives the car away, Xia Ning asks, “Xiaolan…”
“She was the most popular dancing girl of a famous nightclub.” Yi Yunrui briefly responds.
Xia Ning understands at once. This ident.i.ty is really not so pleasing.
Yi Yunrui takes out his phone and sends a message to someone.
As a matter of fact, even if Su Shen didn’t come to meet him, Yi Yunrui would also keep watch on Yin Tianyang. Yin Tianyang is a very tricky man. It is hard to find out evidence against him. Since the case of Yasi Villa has been closed. The net is being gathered up towards Yin Tianyang.
He will make sure that Yin Tianyang can find no way out!
“Darling.” Xia Ning looks at Yi Yunrui’s deep eyes. She realizes that he is thinking about something. She asks, “To be honest, I want to know what happened to you when you were in Beijing. Can you tell me?”
Yi Yunrui slightly lifts his lips and says affectionately, “You Silly, it is nothing serious. Why are you so polite with your husband?”
“At that time, you were summoned to go. It must be a confidential case. I really want to know but I am afraid that I may bother you.”
“I was told to go to Beijing for the investigation. That was a trick played by Yin Tianyang.” At this time, Yi Yunrui’s phone rings. It is a message.
Yi Yunrui reads the message. He puts on a bigger smile, “Speak of the devil. Sweetheart, don’t you want to have some food? Let’s go back to Lung King Heen. Someone will join us.”
The someone Yi Yunrui means is Shen Mo, the special a.s.sistant to the Mayor of B City.
Shen Mo looks at the exquisite western style dishes. He smiles, “Commander Yi, Mrs. Yi, to be honest, the management is working at the theme Combat Corruption and Build a Clean Government now. I wonder whether I will be charged for having such a fine dinner. Ha. Ha…”
Yi Yunrui takes a sip of the coffee and says with confidence, “It will be fine. Don’t worry.”
If someone else says so, Shen Mo may doubt about that. However, when Yi Yunrui says it, those who dare make trouble for him has to think it over carefully. Therefore, Shen Mo smiles. He takes up the beautiful fork and starts to eat the dishes, “They are delicious. They deserve the three-star ranking of Michelin.
With Yi Yunrui’s words, Shen Mo relaxes himself to eat. It is not true that Shen Mo has never had such fine food. However, it is of three-star Michelin standard. These are delicacies which normal people don’t have the chance to taste!
He has got the rare permission from Commander Yi. This is a chance coming once but never. He surely will enjoy himself with fine food!
Xia Ning likes most to make friends with people who like eating. She sees Shen Mo enjoy the food. It gives her a good appet.i.te, too. In a while, the table is occupied by all kinds of dishes!
Yi Yunrui drinks the coffee while looking affectionately at his wife with a smile, who is eating. He wipes her mouth for her from time to time.
No matter what his wife is doing, she is the most beautiful scene in his eyes.
Shen Mo is aware of the sweetness of the couple. He feels quite surprised to see that.
As to men who come from a superior family with a high position and great abilities like Yi Yunrui, exclusive love for a woman is supposed to be a rare thing happening to him.
Many people from rich or powerful families don’t know what they want even when they are at the age of thirty. What they do every day is messing around in a world of physical enjoyment. To love a woman exclusively and bear the responsibility of a family is totally out of their consideration.
By comparison, Shen Mo, though he doesn’t understand, admires Yi Yunrui very much!
“Commander Yi, Mrs. Yi you two make such an affectionate couple. I really admire you.” Shen Mo says sincerely.
Xia Ning blushes to hear his words, while Yi Yunrui responds directly, “You can find someone for yourself, too.”
Shen Mo hesitates. He gets a little shy. He is willing to. But he can’t find the one.
People nowadays are too hypocritical and benefit-oriented.
Xia Ning notices the embarra.s.sment on Shen Mo’s face. She understands at once and changes the topic immediately, “Special a.s.sistant Shen, which dishes do you like best?”
Shen Mo glances at the dishes on the table. He draws his hands around, “I like all those on the table.”
He is treated with such a great feast. If he is still unsatisfied, it will seem to be rude.
Xia Ning smiles. Her eyes gleam meaningfully. Apparently, Shen Mo comes to C City for some special business.
After finis.h.i.+ng a cup of the green tea Yuqian Longjing, Shen Mo feels relaxed. He gives a sigh of relief, “What a satisfying dinner!”
Yi Yunrui puts down the coffee cup. He takes out a disc and pa.s.ses it to Shen Mo, “Special a.s.sistant Shen, this disc is very important. It will be helpful for your work.”
Shen Mo glances at the disc. He asks, “What is it about?”
“Yin Tianyang.”
Hearing the name, Special a.s.sistant Shen immediately takes the disc over and puts it aside.
“Special a.s.sistant Shen, don’t worry. This room has some special instruments which prevent any sound waves here being received outside. It is of total confidentiality.” Yi Yunrui says. He pours another cup of tea for Shen Mo, “You may investigate on it after you go back. I will wait for your good news.”
Yi Yunrui has been waiting for a long time. Now, the fish is finally going to be hooked. He almost feels that everything comes easily.
“Commander Yi, don’t worry. I will go back to B City this afternoon and work at it as soon as possible.”
“Good. Besides, keep an eye on Yin Tianyang.”
“Yes.” Shen Mo thinks for a while, “As to the land issue of Yasi Villa, the other agreement has expired now. Commander Yi, seriously, thank you very much for your help to the government.”
Yi Yunrui smiles, “My pleasure.”
Xia Ning feels confused to hear that. Yi Yunrui was taken for investigation because of Yasi Villa. How can it turn out to be his help to the government?
Shen Mo is aware of Xia Ning’s confusion. He explains, “Mrs. Yi, you may not know the truth. At that time, Commander Yi signed the contract with Yin Tianyang to sell Yasi Villa to the government. The price shown in the contract was obviously three times higher than the market price. Yin Tianyang took this as a reason and put Commander Yi in the previous investigation. However, about this issue, I came specially to meet Commander Yi at that time and made a record for our conversation.”
Shen Mo takes a sip of the tea and continues, “As a matter of fact, there was an additional contract about Yasi Villa. It is related to the army. Given Commander Yi’s ident.i.ty, the contract was signed by Commander Yi with the army. The army rented part of Yasi Villa till Year 21XX. The contract doesn’t expire until this year. Now, the land rented by the army will all be returned to Commander Yi. So, Yasi Villa actually will enlarge by over three times! Therefore, based on the old contract, the government actually bought Yasi Villa with the market price then. It is nothing about bribery at all.”
