Chapter 181 Little Li Xi, Come Find Us!
"What's with that expression?" Ye Luo frowned and said, "Do you think Gu Huaizhou won't come looking for you?"
Ye Luo deliberately provoked, "Or is it that you don't believe in Gu Huaizhou's love for you?"
Li Xi shook her head, "No, no, no, I have never doubted Gu Huaizhou's love for me."
"Then what did you mean by that expression just now?" Ye Luo was in a bad mood. Because of his physical disability, his mood was always unpredictable.
One second they might be happy, and the next they might be furious.
Ye Luo was annoyed by Li Xi's incomprehension; he hated this feeling of being unable to control himself.
"I was thinking, since you knew Gu Huaizhou would love me and would definitely come to save me, why didn't you ever consider why Gu Huaizhou, who cares about me so much, would be so careless and let me be so easily kidnapped by you?"
“Normally when I go out, Gu Huaizhou will have people secretly protecting me. Recently, it’s a critical period for the police to play psychological warfare with Chen Feng. At this time, I don’t find it strange that I don’t have any bodyguards by my side.”
Ye Luo's expression changed drastically. "You deliberately let your guard down, waiting for me to kidnap you?"
"Yes."
Li Xi kindly told Ye Luo, "You think you're using me, but actually I'm using you."
“Mr. Ye, thank you for kidnapping me today, which made me confirm that the kidnapping was indeed a case of organized crime. You, Chen Feng, and the remaining thirty-odd children who received assistance from Old Chen, you are all accomplices.”
"I also want to thank you, because your impulsive and reckless kidnapping will help me lure out the real Chen Feng."
Upon hearing Li Xi's last half-sentence, Ye Luo was taken aback. "The real Chen Feng?"
He immediately realized the key point: "You know Zhao Feng is an imposter?"
Li Xi: "Yes."
“I know Zhao Feng is an imposter, so I have no choice but to use you to force the real Chen Feng to show himself.”
"Mr. Ye, you are absolutely right about something."
Ye Luo asked, puzzled, "Which sentence?"
"Chen Feng really liked that sentence I said."
What's wrong with this statement?
"Chen Feng likes me a lot; he treats me like his toy. But now you've destroyed his doll without even asking..."
"What do you think Chen Feng will do?"
"He will be angry, he will complain that you acted on your own initiative, he will come to see you, and he will stop you from doing this."
"Ye Luo, wait with me, let's wait for the first person to appear."
"That person is Chen Feng."
Ye Luo's face turned pale instantly.
Realizing what was happening, he quickly ran back with his cane to the wheelchair to get his phone.
Before Ye Luo's hand could even touch the phone, a strong hand grabbed her wrist.
Ye Luo looked up in surprise and met Chu Xu's eyes, who was standing behind the wheelchair.
Chu Xu smiled and took Ye Luo's phone, saying, "Mr. Ye, I'll keep your phone safe for a while."
Ye Luo was taken aback. "Who are you? How did you get here?"
"Where are my people?"
Chu Xu kindly reminded Ye Luo, "I forgot to tell Mr. Ye that the accomplices you hired are old friends who have been working with me for many years."
As Gu Huaizhou's right-hand man, Chu Xu always had to resort to dirty tricks to solve problems.
At this point, Chu Xu would choose to outsource the difficult problem.
He pays money, and someone will naturally help him deal with the trouble.
Quite by coincidence, the group of thugs that Ye Luo found was actually introduced to him by Chu Xu.
Realizing she had been completely used, Ye Luo was utterly desperate.
"Li Xi!"
Suddenly, Ye Luo turned around and roared at Li Xi in the tree:
"Back then, the Xie family pushed you out to play games; they didn't care whether you lived or died at all."
"If Xiao Feng hadn't spared your life, you would have been dead long ago!"
"You're a heartless ingrate!"
Li Xi smiled faintly and did not refute.
Soon, Chu Xu untied Li Xi and rescued her.
Exhausted from being tied up, Li Xi felt weak all over, so she simply sat in Ye Luo's wheelchair.
Ye Luo was bound by her limbs and left on the cement ground in the yard.
Li Xi leaned back in her chair and asked Chu Xu, "What time is it now?"
It's 8:30.
The sun had completely set, and the night sky in the mountains was filled with stars.
Li Xi stared at the stars and the Milky Way, and said in confusion, "Logically speaking, Huai Zhou should have taken action by now."
"But where are they?"
Li Xi had a bad feeling. She instructed Chu Xu, "Call Gu Huaizhou and see what's going on on his end."
Chu Xu quickly made a phone call.
The phone is on.
Chu Xu hurriedly asked, "Boss, has Officer Zhou gotten any leads? I haven't found any concrete trace of Ye Luo yet..."
Gu Huaizhou interrupted Chu Xu, saying, "I've found Ye Luo's whereabouts."
Upon hearing this, Chu Xu and Li Xi exchanged a silent glance.
Besides Li Xi and Gu Huaizhou, the only other person in the know about this plan is Chu Xu.
Gu Huaizhou's words to Chu Xu indicated that there were other people around him, so he still had to put on an act.
Li Xi used lip reading to hint to Chu Xu: "Who provided the whereabouts?"
Chu Xu quickly asked Gu Huaizhou, "So fast? Did Officer Zhou find a clue?"
Gu Huaizhou said, "Officer Zhou has found a general direction. The traffic bureau shows that Ye Luo's car was last photographed near Nan'an Town, about 30 kilometers west of the city."
"Nan'an Town? Then we'll head there now." Chu Xu pretended to be busy, then asked, "Where exactly is it? Have you found out?"
Gu Huaizhou said, "When Dr. Ying went back and looked through Ye Luo's medical records, he found that Ye Luo had mentioned in a previous conversation that he lived with his maternal grandfather in Nan'an Town when he was a child."
"His maternal grandfather's home is in the Mao'er Mountain valley in Nan'an Town."
"We are now driving towards Mao'er Mountain."
Chu Xu felt a chill run down his spine. He said, "Then let's head to Mao'er Mountain right away."
After hanging up the phone, Chu Xu looked at Li Xi with a serious expression and said, "...The person with the boss is Dr. Ying."
"Miss Li, could Dr. Ying be Chen Feng?"
Chu Xu felt that the whole thing was absurd.
"How could it be Dr. Ying? He has such a good relationship with the boss. Before I was even given important responsibilities by the boss, Dr. Ying was already the boss's most trusted friend."
"Whenever the boss is in a mental state, only Dr. Ying can get close to him."
"How could it be Dr. Ying?"
Chu Xu preferred to believe that they had made a mistake.
Li Xi did not reply; she was observing Ye Luo's reaction.
She didn't miss Ye Luo's tense reaction when she heard Ying Chengfeng's name; she silently clenched her teeth.
"...Actually, I guessed it a long time ago. Today's event was just to confirm my guess."
Li Xi leaned back in her chair, closed her eyes, and said, "Let's wait for them to come."
The real culprit, who had been lurking for nearly thirteen years, was finally about to emerge from the fog and appear before them in his true form. Li Xi was not at peace with himself.
She pretended to be asleep and rested.
Chu Xu considerately took off Ye Luo's suit jacket and covered Li Xi with it to keep her warm.
After a long while, Li Xi suddenly opened her eyes and asked Chu Xu, "How long has it been since that phone call?"
Chu Xu glanced at the call log, his expression darkening. "It's been almost forty minutes."
"Something's wrong!"
Something is definitely not right.
Judging by Gu Huaizhou's speed, they should have arrived by now.
Call him again!
Chu Xu didn't dare to delay and immediately called Gu Huaizhou.
This time, the phone rang for a long time but no one answered.
Just as the ringtone was about to finish, the call finally went through.
But the voice on the other end of the phone wasn't Gu Huaizhou, but Ying Chengfeng: "Chu Xu, your boss is unavailable to answer the phone right now."
"Dr. Ying!" Upon hearing Ying Chengfeng's voice, Chu Xu felt a chill run down his spine. He instinctively asked, "Where's our boss? What happened to him?"
Why is it inconvenient for you to answer the phone?
Ying Chengfeng should remain silent.
After Chu Xu realized the situation and calmed down, Ying Chengfeng said, "Little Li Xi, you're right next to the phone, aren't you?"
Little Li Xi...
Upon hearing this address, Li Xi felt a sharp pain in her head, as if she had been pricked by a needle, for several seconds.
She pressed her temples, shook her head, and vaguely saw a window with a row of potted sunflowers on the windowsill and a doctor in a white suit standing behind the window.
The man was tall and slender, and when he turned around and looked down at her, his gaze was full of gentleness and patience.
That was her therapist.
That was Ying Chengfeng, a young, handsome, and refined man in his early twenties.
"Congratulations on overcoming your inner demons, Li Xi. You can be discharged from the hospital now."
After that day, Li Xi never went to see her psychologist again.
Li Xi tried to remain calm. She took Chu Xu's phone, held it to her ear, and asked the person on the other end, "Dr. Ying, where is Gu Huaizhou?"
Ying Chengfeng chuckled twice before saying, "Little Li Xi, how about playing another game with me?"
Li Xi pursed her lips and remained silent. She heard Ying Chengfeng say, "You deliberately let Zhao Feng out, and then deliberately had Ye Luo kidnap you. Your goal was to force me to show myself, wasn't it?"
Li Xi remained silent.
“Little Li Xi, you know I like you a lot. I really can’t stand by and watch Ye Luo destroy you, but I’m not willing to just give up like this.”
"So I want to play a game with you again."
"Li Xi, I'm giving you seven days this time."
"If you find Gu Huaizhou within seven hours, I will turn myself in and give you the truth you want."
"If you cannot find Gu Huaizhou in seven hours, then the truth will be buried with me forever."
Li Xi immediately grasped the key point: "You were with Gu Huaizhou?"
"...Little Li Xi, you are really smart."
"Come find us."
"Little Li Xi."
