Maybe it was because she was too shocked, or maybe it was because of some other reason, Bai Yuexi raised her hand high up and slapped Li Fengjue.

The clear and melodious voice gave Liu Rui, who was following behind, a fright. He stood to the side, somewhat at a loss of what to do.

"You …" Before she could finish, Bai Yuexi slapped him again.

But this time, Li Fengjue grabbed her wrist.

"Don't push your luck!"

Bai Yuexi's eyes were filled with tears, but she still bit her lower lip with all his might, preventing herself from crying.

She was clearly being held by Li Fengjue, but she felt her body involuntarily tremble.

If he had come a little later, the consequences would have been disastrous.

The man who was knocked to the ground wanted to take the opportunity to slip away, but was stomped onto the ground by Liu Rui, causing him to be unable to move at all.

The man desperately begged for mercy, "I don't dare to do it again. I was ordered by someone. This really has nothing to do with me. I didn't do anything to her …"

Li Fengjue's deep eyes contained a chill, he lowered his head and looked at the man, and said coldly: "Liu Rui, I will leave this matter to you, if he is able to hold onto something for the rest of his life, you know the consequences."

Liu Rui nodded in agreement.

The man was already scared out of his wits. He hugged Li Fengjue's leg and begged, but was kicked away fiercely. He then carried Bai Yuexi out of the dark and wet room.

Smelling the familiar smell on the man's body, Bai Yuexi gradually lost consciousness.

When he woke up again, he was in the car, with Chen Ying sitting beside him.

Bai Yuexi frowned, she felt pain all over her body, and a hissing sound came from her mouth.

Li Fengjue looked to the side, his eyes reflecting the woman's pale white face, and his brows furrowed even more deeply, but he did not say a single word.

Feeling the gaze, Bai Yuexi gritted her teeth and remained silent.

Chen Ying noticed the strange atmosphere between the two and hurriedly asked about Bai Yuexi's injuries.

"I'm fine. I just need to rest."

"You really scared me to death. In the future, don't ever come back to Fengdu again, it's pretty good to be an ordinary commoner." Chen Ying's words were full of meaning.

"The trees desire peace, but the wind does not stop. I only want to live a normal and ordinary life."

Ever since she met Li Fengjue, her life had never been peaceful. Instead, it was filled with ripples, causing her to suffer everywhere and almost lose her life.

This was only the beginning, he didn't know what kind of situation he would encounter in the future.

Chen Ying's gaze was erratic, as though she had something to say.

Bai Yuexi looked at her in puzzlement, "What's wrong with you?"

After hesitating for a moment, she shook her head. "I'm fine …" "I'm fine …"

Chen Ying had always been straightforward, but her current reaction was definitely wrong. Bai Yuexi looked at her in puzzlement.

She stammered, "It's about uncle. I found something …"

"My dad?" Bai Yuexi's heart sank.

She believed that her father would definitely not be greedy and take the bribes. Furthermore, she felt that there was something fishy about his so-called falling down from above. Previously, she had thought that it was Ling Yun who had done the deed, which was why she got Chen Ying to investigate it secretly.

Chen Ying nodded, her eyes looking at Li Fengjue, his face was gloomy and unclear under the light, who knew if she heard the words?

Bai Yuexi understood, so she reached out and held her hand, and said in a low voice, "Let's talk after we go home."

It was clearly only two hours of travel, but Bai Yuexi felt extremely tormented.

Her father's death was a waste of time, so she could just sit by his side and watch. For the past few days, he had accompanied Li Fengjue by his side, partly because he had saved her life, but partly because he wanted to use Li Fengjue's identity to get to know some upper class people and investigate her father's death.

Thinking of this, a wry smile appeared on her face.

In the end, they were just using each other as leverage. What reason did she have to blame Li Fengjue?

The car stopped in front of the Bai family mansion, and just as Bai Yuexi was about to leave, Chen Ying turned her head to look at Li Fengjue who was in the car, and said with difficulty, "You guys …"

Bai Yuexi's hand tightly clenched into a fist, her lips opened and closed, but those grateful words were actually stuck in her throat.

Just then, the car started, with a cold expression on his face, Li Fengjue drove away quickly.

The night was dark, and everything was quiet. Looking at the direction the carriage disappeared in, Bai Yuexi slowly opened up her palms, and a look of disappointment flashed past her eyes.

After the two of them entered the door, Bai Yuexi asked impatiently, "Just what did you find out? Could it be related to Li Fengjue? "

"Listen, no matter what you hear next, don't think about taking revenge. This is not that simple."

Could it really be related to Li Fengjue?

"Before Uncle died, I had a commercial collaboration with Fengdu. Originally, Xu Family was on the verge of bankruptcy due to lack of funds, lack of technology, etc., but after Uncle died, I formed an alliance with an opposing company. Moreover, Uncle's so-called corruption and bribery caused the reputation of the Bai clan to completely disappear, and the evidence was also brought up by the opposing company …"

Chen Ying glanced at Bai Yuexi, and pursed her lips, "Although there is no evidence saying that Xu Family is the culprit, at the end of the day, if a big tree like Xu Family does not enjoy the shade, other companies would not dare to do so!"

Bai Yuexi was at a loss, her entire mind was a complete blank, and her eyes blankly stared in front of her, "Then what happened to Ling Yun? He showed up at my house before my father died. It doesn't matter. "

Chen Ying's expression turned heavy. Taking a deep breath, she said, "I investigated and found out that before this, Ling Yun's bank account had an additional five hundred thousand dollars in his account. He couldn't have any other income, but I couldn't find who gave him the money.

"Xu Family!" Bai Yuexi suddenly raised her head. His eyes were bloodshot and a hint of hatred flashed past the bottom of his eyes.

"The cause of our family's destruction was the Xu Family, right?"

Seeing that her expression was a little strange, Chen Ying pulled her hand and explained, "But we don't have any evidence, and even if we can prove that it was the Xu Family who did it, they have a huge amount of money and power. We simply have no way to fight them, and if you want to take revenge, that is suicidal!"

Bai Yuexi pursed her lips tightly, looked at the empty room, and felt as if her heart was on fire. Her father's voice and smile flashed past her eyes, and she was no longer able to speak.

"I will definitely find evidence, and I will even overturn Xu Family to take back everything that belongs to my Bai Family!"
