Chapter 403 Threat? Or Exploiting?
“Yi Yunrui, what do you know?”
“I know those supposed to be known and also those not supposed to be known.” Yi Yunrui responds in a cold voice, “Su Shen, there are a lot of people ruined by you.”
“Yi Yunrui, Xiaolan is dead already. It is unnecessary for you to create any trouble for a dead person!” Su Shen gasps heavily at the other end. He is very emotional, “If you dare to do anything related with Xiaolan, I will ruin you even if it may take my life!”
“Oh. It turns out that she is your bottom line.” Yi Yunrui smiles coldly, “You cross the boundary first!”
Su Shen grits his teeth. He doesn’t respond.
“You are a man. Don’t play tricks with women! Everyone has a history of secret. Su Shen, except for the Xiaolan case, you seem to be related with some other death cases. I may skip the case about Xiaolan, but I can’t give you the promise for the other cases.”
It sounds that Su Shen is breaking things at the other end of the phone. He grits his teeth and says, “Yi Yunrui, you are cold-blooded! What is the good for you to threaten me?”
“There are surely some. It depends on whether you will cooperate with me or not.”
Su Shen hesitates. He tries hard to calm himself down.
He knew Xiaolan in the nightclub the Heaven for Mankind, who was the most popular prost.i.tute there. He did a lot of work to clear Xiaolan’s history, which did get some death cases involved.
Even if Yi Yunrui doesn’t mention Xiaolan, Su Shen can’t make it through because of the other related death cases.
That Xiaolan case was done very secretly and those who knew about that are all dead. It has been ten years after that. How can Yi Yunrui know about it?
Wait. Could Yi Yunrui learn it already when he went to him?
If it is the truth, the man is really capable… he is simply all-powerful.
As a rival, Yi Yunrui is undoubtedly horrible.
Now, Su Shen is at the mercy of Yi Yunrui.
However, he can’t be resigned to lose in such a way!
“OK. You may say. I will cooperate with you.” As long as he can live through this time, he will have many other chances to win back in the future.
Xia Ning slowly opens her eyes. She gradually focuses her eyes and becomes more and more conscious. She feels her eyes painful.
“You are awake.” Yi Yunrui brings a cold towel to come, “Do you feel your eyes painful?”
Xia Ning nods.
“Well. Close your eyes. Let me apply the towel for you.” Then, he puts the cold towel on Xia Ning’s face.
It is cold. Xia Ning can’t help taking a breath.
She had a very long dream. But she can’t remember what happened in the dream at all.
As if she suddenly remembers something, she gets up suddenly and asks, “How long have I slept?”
“It is half past four in the early morning.” Yi Yunrui takes up the clock and shows it to Xia Ning, “There are still some hours to go before you go to work. Are you hungry?”
Xia Ning feels a little confused. She remembers that she lost control of her emotion after talking with Su Shen on the phone. She yelled at Yi Yunrui and then went to sleep.
“Darling, did anyone call me?”
“Baoer and Zhongheng called me to talk about their wedding tomorrow.”
Xia Ning hesitates, “Only Baoer called me?”
“Yes.” Yi Yunrui pa.s.ses the phone to her, “You may check.”
Xia Ning shakes her head. She turns to look at Yi Yunrui and says nothing.
“Why?”
Xia Ning opens her mouth. But in the end, she says nothing. She takes up the towel and covers it on her face again. At the time, her stomach cries because of hunger.
“I will go to cook some food for you.” Yi Yunrui says and turns to leave.
Soon, a lot of dishes are put in front of Xia Ning. They are all freshly made. Xia Ning feels very surprised, “Darling, didn’t you say that you bought a lot of seafood. Where is it?”
“Do you want to have seafood? It is midnight now. I was afraid that you may not have any appet.i.te for that, so I didn’t make any. If you like, I can go to make some for you now.”
Xia Ning stops Yi Yunrui, “No. There will be too much for us to finish.”
“If we don’t cook it, the seafood will go dead. You will feel even more sorry to dump it. If you can’t finish these dishes, we can put them into the refrigerator.”
Xia Ning agrees. She nods.
It is five in the early morning. Yi Yunrui and Xia Ning sit by the table with a lot of seafood for a delicious dinner.
Yi Yunrui sees that his wife has a good appet.i.te. He feels that his floating heart finally lands to its place.
Xia Ning finishes arranging the tableware. She stands by the door of the kitchen to watch his husband doing the was.h.i.+ng. She has a lot of questions in her brain.
Su Shen said that Yi Yunrui knew what happened to her in the past.
She wants to ask. But she is afraid to remember what happened in the past.
It has been a long time. Every time she remembers anything about her childhood, she feels panic. She even has the desire to go far away from it. She doesn’t know why she will react in this way. She doesn’t know what happened in her childhood, either. She is afraid that when she knows the truth, the relation between Yi Yunrui and her can’t remain the same as it is now.
She turns to cherish the love more and more. She doesn’t want it to be disturbed by anyone or anything.
Yi Yunrui quietly washes the dishes. He is aware that his wife has been standing behind him for quite a while. He doesn’t speak, because he knows what his wife is thinking about.
She wants to ask him about the case happened over twenty years ago.
No. He can’t tell her yet.
He is afraid. He is worried.
It will only take him five minutes to finish was.h.i.+ng the dishes in normal days. Today, Yi Yunrui spends over twenty minutes was.h.i.+ng them. When everything is put in order, he turns around and finds that his wife has gone to the bedroom.
Yi Yunrui gives a sigh of relief.
When he goes to the bedroom, Xia Ning is sitting on the bed in mediation. Yi Yunrui feels worried. He holds her into his embrace, “Sweetheart, don’t think too much. No matter what happens, I will always stay by your side…”
“Rui, did you know me a long time ago?”
Yi Yunrui feels shocked to hear her words. He stops his hands.
Finally, … she still asks the question.
“Hum. I have known you for a very long time. I was always looking at you and then, you became my wife.”
Xia Ning is hugged by Yi Yunrui and surrounded by his strong warmth. However, she feels her heart sinking at the moment. She thinks for quite a while. Then, she asks, “Darling, if I was not the kind of woman you like, will you still stay with me?”
Yi Yunrui frowns, “That’s silly. What are you talking about? I love Xia Ning. I love everything about Xia Ning.”
“No matter what happens, you will never leave me?”
“Hum.” Yi Yunrui seriously nods, “No matter what happens, I will stay with you all my life.”
Xia Ning closes her eyes. She quietly leans on Yi Yunrui’s chest.
Yi Yunrui gently strokes her back. His eyes look deep.
Sweetheart, will you stay with me all your life?
The next day, Su Shen finishes the intravenous injection. He wants to take a break. He closes his eyes. But when he opens his eyes again, he finds that Yi Yunrui has been standing in front of him. He is almost scared to cry out.
Can this man play magic? He suddenly shows up here as if he is a ghost!
Yi Yunrui looks at Su Shen’s shocked face. He slightly lifts his lips. He draws a chair to sit down by Su Shen’s bed.
“Didn’t we make the agreement last evening? Why do you come to the hospital?” Su Shen says helplessly.
“Last evening, we talked about last evening’s issue. Now, we will talk about something about now.”
Su Shen freezes his face, “Yi Yunrui, what on earth do you want?
Yi Yunrui puts a dark instrument in front of Su Shen and asks, “I think you must recognize this thing. Do you?”
Su Shen tightens his heart. He turns his face away.
In front of Yi Yunrui, everything he did seems to be transparent. He always has the way to find it out.
“Mr. Su, you may say that you know nothing about this instrument. I can briefly explain first. This is a hi-tech detectaphone. We can’t buy it in the market. Two days ago, the information of Long Shaojie’s kidnap was disclosed. This little instrument played a very important role in the event.”
Su Shen tightly purses his lips. They have come to this stage. He is not going to say anything.
He is not sure whether Yi Yunrui brings any other cameras with him to set him up!
“Mr. Su, I know you don’t want to see me. However, there is evidence showing that you sent someone to put this instrument into Ning’s office. You may deny, but the evidence may bring you … some serious disadvantages.”
“Yi Yunrui, what on earth do you want?” Su Shen fails to control himself. He shouts in a loud voice, “Didn’t I agree to do what you told me to do last night? What else do you want?”
Yi Yunrui puts on a seeming smile on his tough face. He looks at Su Shen for quite a while. Then, he says, “Mr. Su, why were you so careless? You left a lot of things in my hand.”
“Hum.”
Yi Yunrui shakes his head. He collects the detectaphone and says, “As to the information disclosure issue, I will take the responsibility for that by myself. It will have nothing to do with you again. So, Mr. Su, don’t worry.”
Su Shen feels surprised to hear his words. He looks at Yi Yunrui confusedly, “As far as I know, Commander Yi is not as generous as that.”
“We must use special approaches to deal with special people. When playing the game between soldiers and thieves, if the soldiers are not trickier than the thieves, how can they catch the thieves?”
Su Shen grits his teeth. The man is just like Yi Yuntian, but he hides himself deeper than Yi Yunrui does.
“Then, what’s your purpose to put on such a show here?”
“About the cooperation we talked about last evening, I need to add one item.”
Twenty minutes later, Yi Yunrui left Su Shen’s ward. Surprisingly, Su Shen who was supposed to stay in the hospital for some more days for further inspection is suddenly recovered and able to leave hospital on the day. However, Su Shen looks grey on his face. In his ward, a lot of things are broken.
Su Shen puts on the sungla.s.ses. He controls his temper and gets in the car. He furiously hates Yi Yunrui.
He has been caught by Yi Yunrui about some things. Now, Yi Yunrui can simply play tricks on him as if he is a monkey.
Last evening, they talked about the cooperation that when Yi Yunrui was away, he needed to carefully protect Xia Ning. Just now, Yi Yunrui added another item: Su Shen had to be always ready to take orders from Yi Yunrui and take corresponding actions!
f.u.c.k! Isn’t he going to leave for Beijing? How can there be any orders from him for Su Shen to take?
What Yi Yunrui regards him as?
At the time, his phone alarms for a message. Su Shen takes up the phone. It doesn’t tell any information about the sender. However, it writes: Mr. Su, please go to talk with President Zhou of Junhao Group about the long-term strategic cooperation.”
“f.u.c.k!” It is the first time for him to lose his temper in front of his employees. Su Shen forcefully drops the phone, which is broken into pieces on the ground.
Seeing the boss angry, the driver takes a cold breath, while the beautiful secretary sitting beside is so scared that she doesn’t dare to speak a word.
Su Shen closes his eyes. After being silent for quite a while. He says to his secretary, “Call President Zhou of Junhao Group to make an appointment. Tell her that I have something to talk with her.”
