Liu Qiao listened to the gossip in his pocket for over an hour before finally figuring things out.
It turns out that Cheng Shaoyu's mother came from a prestigious family and was a wealthy heiress. She had always had business dealings with the Cheng family. Unfortunately, she was in poor health. Cheng's father and she had a business marriage, and their relationship was not deep. A few years after the marriage, he cheated on her with his mistress and secretly gave birth to a son. The original wife, who already had a heart problem, was so angry when she found out about this that she died.
Cheng Shaoyu was 10 years old at the time and knew very well the cause of his mother's death. The mistress successfully entered the family and became Mrs. Cheng, bringing with her an illegitimate son, Cheng Shaofeng. Cheng Shaoyu harbored resentment towards the mother and son, and from a young age, he tried every means to bully his younger brother and stepmother. He also took full advantage of his heart condition, faking illness at the drop of a hat, leaving the mother and son helpless against him.
After growing up, Cheng Shaofeng was admitted to Medical School, while Chen Yehua was the most beautiful girl in the Academy of Fine Arts. The two schools happened to be next to each other and often held club social events. During their freshman year, the two met at a social event, fell in love at first sight, and quickly became a couple.
Chen Yehua lost both her parents and was raised by her uncle from a young age. Over a decade of living under someone else's roof made her extremely introverted. Cheng Shaofeng, though outgoing, was actually very lonely. His mother was a mistress, and he hadn't seen his father until he was eight. He came to the Cheng family with his mother at that age, unfamiliar with the place and constantly bullied by his older brother. His grandfather didn't approve of his mother, and consequently, their illegitimate son, Cheng Shaofeng, was also disliked by the family. The Cheng family always doted on their eldest son, Cheng Shaoyu.
At that time, the majority of the Cheng family's shares were in the hands of the grandfather, and his father, in order to please his grandfather, naturally favored his eldest son. His mother was nominally Mrs. Cheng, but in reality, she was nothing more than a caged canary with little freedom.
Both lacked parental love growing up, and shared many common experiences regarding their backgrounds, like two abandoned animals huddling together for warmth. As they spent more time together, their feelings deepened, and naturally, they became intimate. However, Cheng Shaofeng took excellent precautions to prevent his girlfriend from getting pregnant at such a young age.
That year, during the holiday, it was Chen Yehua's 19th birthday. To celebrate his girlfriend's birthday, Cheng Shaofeng booked a suite at a luxury hotel, hoping to have a romantic candlelight dinner with her. However, Cheng Shaofeng used a clever trick to lure Chen Yehua away, and she was drugged by him as soon as she arrived at the room.
The next morning, Cheng Shaofeng rushed to the hotel, only to find his girlfriend and brother sleeping in the same bed when he opened the door!
Cheng Shaofeng's eyes nearly popped out of his head; he was so enraged that he grabbed a knife and almost stabbed Cheng Shaoyu to death. Chen Yehua was also devastated and nearly committed suicide by jumping off a building. The incident caused a huge uproar, and in the end, it was Old Master Cheng who intervened. The old man gave Chen Yehua a large sum of money to leave the Cheng family's young master. Chen Yehua was forced to break up with Cheng Shaofeng and went far away. She only returned to this city in the last two years for work.
If it weren't for her daughter's heart condition, she would never want to see Cheng Shaofeng again.
...
Liu Qiao's head throbbed with pain as she listened. She had deduced this plot from the two's argument, and it was even more melodramatic than any of the domineering CEO novels she'd ever read. Cheng Shaoyu's mother had died of anger, giving him ample reason to hate and retaliate against his stepmother and brother, but Chen Yehua was innocent. To target his brother's girlfriend was simply too much!
What was wrong with him? Why did he go and sleep with his younger brother's girlfriend? Liu Qiao couldn't understand it.
The poor, innocent Chen Yehua was left with psychological trauma, and her daughter also died of heart disease.
Hearing Chen Yehua's cries, Liu Qiao didn't know what to say.
Cheng Shaofeng put his arm around her shoulder and whispered, "Ahua, I came to find you to take you away. Let's run away together, okay? I'll tell you a secret, my brother... that beast Cheng Shaoyu, he might be in trouble."
Chen Yehua stiffened slightly and said coldly, "Something happened? He insulted another girl and got sued?"
"Cough, no, that's not it." Cheng Shaofeng wiped his face in a flustered manner and said mysteriously, "He might already be dead."
"What?!" Chen Yehua's eyes widened instantly. "Dead...dead?"
"Yeah. That day I was planning to go to his house to discuss some company matters, but I saw a person in a black raincoat carrying a black garbage bag walk away at the door. I thought he was a cleaning worker, so I didn't pay much attention. But when I went inside, I found that my brother wasn't home, and no one answered my phone. I assumed he was out fooling around, so I sent him a message asking him to contact me another day. Then for several days in a row, he didn't contact me, and I couldn't get through to him at all when I called him. He also missed a very important shareholders' meeting at the company. I felt that something must have happened to him."
"You mean, there's something wrong with the person carrying the garbage bag?" Chen Yehua asked in a trembling voice. "What they took away in the garbage bag could very well be your brother's body?"
"Yes!" Cheng Shaofeng nodded vigorously. " Cheng Shaoyu has offended quite a few people over the years. I have a feeling he's been killed. Otherwise, why couldn't we contact him? He's been my rival for so many years, he couldn't possibly miss such an important shareholders' meeting." Cheng Shaofeng paused, then lowered his voice and continued, "A couple of days ago, I was driving home when I saw a police car at the entrance of my neighborhood. The police must have come looking for me because something happened to my brother. I quickly turned around and ran away. I've been hiding in the countryside these past few days, just to be prepared to take you away."
Chen Yehua asked in confusion, "You didn't kill anyone, why are you running away when the police come to your door?"
Cheng Shaofeng coughed lightly: "Ahem, I didn't kill him, but my company's accounts aren't clean. If the police investigate thoroughly, they might find something. I've already transferred 80% of my father's company's assets out of the country. These assets are enough..."
We're going to spend our lives together. Pack your things and come abroad with me. My private jet is parked at the airport. We'll live a carefree life overseas and never have to worry about the Cheng family again.
As he spoke, he reached for Chen Yehua's hand. Chen Yehua stiffly took a step back and coldly said, "Why should I go with you?"
Cheng Shaofeng anxiously grabbed her shoulders: "Ahua, let's forget about the past, okay? You had a daughter with that beast Cheng Shaoyu, I don't mind, it's not your fault. When you came to me, I even contacted Brother Rong to help you find a suitable heart for Yuqing. I used all my connections, but if I couldn't find a suitable heart, there was nothing I could do! I offered you money, but you refused. Now, your daughter is gone, and you're all alone. Come with me, didn't you say you wouldn't marry anyone but me? We can have another daughter later, or a son. I don't have heart disease, it won't be hereditary..."
"I won't go with you! Some things have happened, and you can't forget them." Chen Yehua interrupted him, forcefully shaking off his hand. "You two brothers disgust me. My daughter is gone, so let me live a peaceful life on my own…"
Before she could finish speaking, Cheng Shaofeng suddenly reached out and knocked her unconscious with an elbow.
Liu Qiao was trapped in Chen Yehua's pocket and couldn't get out immediately. Besides, she also wanted to continue following Cheng Shaofeng.
Cheng Shaofeng picked up Chen Yehua and carried her all the way to the underground parking garage. He put her in the back seat of his car, started the engine, and called the airport to tell them to prepare the plane.
He drove extremely fast and was on the airport expressway in the blink of an eye.
If he escaped, the case would be difficult to investigate further. With this in mind, Liu Qiao boldly climbed out of Chen Yehua's pocket, found Chen Yehua's phone, moved it under her clothes, and secretly lifted her finger to unlock it with her fingerprint.
Liu Qiao remembered Xiao Lou's phone number. With difficulty, she typed it into her phone and sent him a short message: " Cheng Shaofeng is trying to run away with Chen Yehua. Come to the airport immediately to intercept them! License plate number: Bin A-67158. Liu Qiao."
Cheng Shaofeng was driving when he noticed a phone light up in the back seat in his rearview mirror. He assumed it was because Chen Yehua had accidentally bumped into the phone's buttons during the bumpy ride, so he didn't think much of it.
He had no idea that there was a girl the size of a thumb hiding under Chen Yehua's clothes, struggling to type on her phone screen.
After sending the message, Liu Qiao breathed a sigh of relief and continued to hide under Chen Yehua's coat.
Upon receiving the message, Xiao Lou immediately forwarded it to the group chat, and Yu Hanjiang made a decisive decision: "I will go and intercept them myself."
— Cheng Shaofeng, this is the key figure in this organ transplant case.
We absolutely cannot let him get away!
Yu Hanjiang dropped what he was doing and told Long Sen and Qu Wanyue to continue organizing the data. He then drove off towards the airport himself, while simultaneously calling the airport expressway tollbooth to intercept a black private car with license plate number Bin A-67158.
In the car, Liu Qiao listened intently to Cheng Shaofeng making a phone call.
Cheng Shaofeng made two phone calls. The first was to Brother Rong. Liu Qiao couldn't hear what was being said on the other end, but she could hear Cheng Shaofeng's voice clearly: " Brother Rong, I'm on my way to the airport... Well, no one's following me... I'm going to pick up Chen Yehua. Cough, I was reckless, but don't worry, I promise no one will know about this. When we get there, I'll make her shut up and not utter a word... Okay, see you later."
He then called his secretary and gave her some instructions about company matters.
Liu Qiao memorized his words verbatim.
After she shrunk, the car looked like a house to her. The car was still moving at high speed, and Liu Qiao felt dizzy as if she were on a roller coaster.
Just then, she heard a loud "bang" in her ear!
Cheng Shaofeng's car seemed to have hit something; the violent impact caused the entire car to suddenly fly diagonally off the highway and crash down under the bridge with a loud "bang!" Liu Qiao's body was almost crushed by Chen Yehua, who fell from his seat!
The incident happened so suddenly that Liu Qiao didn't even have time to react before a raging fire appeared before her eyes!
The car's fuel tank had exploded, and the windows shattered everywhere. Liu Qiao's transformation to save them was too late. She could only use her Lightness Skill to fly out through the shattered window at the moment of the explosion.
The moment she took to the sky, she saw Cheng Shaofeng's mangled head and Chen Yehua's pale face, who was sleeping soundly in the back row.
Liu Qiao landed on a nearby tree branch and stared blankly at the scene.
Accident?
Or is it murder to silence them?!
