"It's not like a wolf is chasing you if you're so anxious."
Ye Mingqian rubbed the painful back of her head. Through the rearview mirror, she vaguely saw Aunt Chen chasing behind her holding a thick stack of red banknotes.
She understood what happened, "I didn't expect to see Master Chi's sneakiness being rejected openly and openly today."
"Don't ruin my good mood." The man stepped on the accelerator, and Aunt Chen behind him had been thrown behind and disappeared.
Ye Mingqian raised the corners of her lips, "Aunt Chen is right, I can't spoil you."
"How was the conversation between Master Chi and Mr. Huo today?"
Chi Yanchen pursed his lips into a thin line and tightened his grip on the steering wheel, "Equal exchange of interests."
Ye Mingqian asked, "How to say?"
"He transferred the shipyard shares to my name."
"Then what?"
Chi Yanchen didn't answer. He looked forward. For a long time, he said leisurely: "I agree to be engaged to Shu Qiaoqiao."
Huo's shipyard is one of the main lifebloods of the group. Huo Jili has always held it firmly in his hands. He never expected that he would be willing to cut off his flesh for Shu Qiaoqiao.
Ye Mingqian smelled something unusual, "Is Shu Qiaoqiao so important?"
"It is the Shu family that is important to Huo Jili." Speaking of the Shu family, Chi Yanchen's brows were filled with coldness, "Mr. Shu is seriously ill this time, so he is using my marriage with Shu Qiaoqiao to pave the way for the Shu family. After all, if he If anything happens, Huo Jili's behavior will definitely destroy all his virtuous sons and grandsons."
"His behavior?" Ye Mingqian hesitated and asked, "Does it include murder and arson?"
Chi Yanchen smiled brightly and asked, "Do you think he will?"
"I don't know." Ye Mingqian replied calmly.
"You must marry into the Huo family, just to investigate this?" Chi Yanchen twitched his eyebrows, "It has something to do with fire. What you want to investigate is the Zhou family fire five years ago, right?"
Ye Mingqian was silent.
"I'll give you a clear path. There are clues on Shu Qiaoqiao." Chi Yanchen drove the car onto the highway and raced at full speed. The scenery outside the window flashed by. Ye Mingqian had no intention of appreciating it. He was entirely focused on the man. spit out the name of the person.
"Why does Shu Qiaoqiao know what happened back then?"
"She doesn't know." Chi Yanchen explained patiently, "But Mr. Shu must know whether Huo Jili was responsible for the Zhou family's fire. The Huo family and the Shu family have been one in the open and the other in the dark over the years. The Shu family is just a big family. It’s just my love, do you understand what I mean?”
"Understood." Ye Mingqian nodded.
"Shu Lao is seriously ill, and Shu Qiaoqiao is going to marry into the Huo family. He will definitely leave a way out for Shu Qiaoqiao to save his life. It is most likely something that Huo Jili is taboo on."
That's why he had the upper hand in this negotiation and took a big bite out of the shipyard.
Ye Mingqian didn't understand again, "Huo Jili must have guessed what you said. Why would he want you to marry Shu Qiaoqiao?"
"Shu Lao's request caused the two families to fall out, and even the Huo family would be severely damaged. Huo Jili might also be trapped in a whirlpool. This is what he doesn't want to see."
After Chi Yanchen's analysis, Ye Mingqian also understood the mutual relationship between the Huo family and the Shu family.
"After getting close to Shu Qiaoqiao, what do you need me to do?" She tilted her head and asked in confusion, "She is about to become your fiancée. Wouldn't it be most convenient for you to talk to you from her mouth?"
"I don't want to see her." Chi Yanchen's car speed gradually slowed down. Ye Mingqian looked out of the car and unexpectedly entered the traffic in the city center.
"Okay, I'll try to get as close to her as possible, but her attitude toward me is not friendly. I need time."
"It's up to you. I won't get married for at least a year after she gets engaged. One year is enough time for you to do your best."
Having set her goal, Ye Mingqian relaxed and teased Chi Yanchen, "I have a deep love for you. Master Chi is so heartless. All he can think of is taking advantage of you."
"I was also the one being used." Chi Yanchen didn't care.
As the car passed the pedestrian street of Xu Yue's beauty shop, Ye Mingqian quickly stopped, "I'm going to sit at Xu Yue's place, you go first."
Chi Yanchen gave her a complicated look, rolled up the window and drove away.
Ye Mingqian came to Xu Yue's store door and found a temporary break sign hanging above it. The store door was unlocked and the lights were off inside.
"Dududu."
When I make a call, there is always a busy signal.
"Where have you gone?"
Ye Mingqian put down her cell phone and entered the door in confusion, looked around, and tried to call out, "Yueyue, are you there?"
There was a slight noise from the direction of the bathroom. She quickly walked over and knocked on the door, "Yueyue, are you in there? If you are, please let me know."
Something knocked to the ground, but the person inside still didn't answer. Ye Mingqian panicked and slammed the door vigorously.
"Xu Yue, can you hear me?"
Seeing no response, she raised her foot and started kicking the door. After kicking for a while, the door panel didn't move at all. She couldn't care anymore, so she picked up a stick and smashed the door lock hard.
Click.
There was a loose sound, and the door was smashed open. Xu Yue was slashing her wrists with a utility knife. Her face was pale and her lips were blue. The mixture of blood and water on the ground made her scalp numb.
"Xu Yue, are you crazy?"
Ye Mingqian grabbed the utility knife, took off her clothes and wrapped Xu Yue's injured arm, and quickly called an ambulance.
Xu Yue lost too much blood and lost consciousness. Ye Mingqian held Xu Yue with tears streaming down her face and her hands kept shaking. She picked up her phone and wanted to call for an ambulance, but found that her palms were full of blood and were not slippery at all. Do not open the phone screen.
"Damn it." She cursed but didn't dare to stop and kept clicking.
"Hello, Ye Mingqian?"
The phone screen lit up, and Chi Yanchen's voice came unexpectedly.
"Chi Yanchen, Chi Yanchen, come here quickly, Xu Yue, she, she committed suicide, it's all blood, come here, come save her, save her!" Ye Mingqian seemed to be grabbing a life-saving stick. Straw's lips were trembling violently, and his speech was incoherent. He didn't know what he was talking about. He almost shouted the last few words with all his strength.
Her mind went blank, and she sat on the ground holding Xu Yue blankly.
Chi Yanchen came quickly, but Ye Mingqian felt that a century had passed. She shivered every time Xu Yue's blood seeped through her clothes.
Xu Yue was quickly carried into the car by the medical staff brought by Chi Yanchen.
"Chi Yanchen." Ye Mingqian felt as if all her strength had been drained from her body. She hugged the man's leg and cried heartbrokenly, "You must save her."
She lost all her family and friends in the fire five years ago, leaving only Yunxuan who was crazy. Without Xu Yue's company in the past five years, she would have climbed to the rooftop and jumped off the building one day.
"She can't die."
Ye Mingqian went into a state of madness and kept repeating these words.
"She'll be fine."
Chi Yanchen hugged her sideways and comforted her with a gentle voice, "I promise."
The man's words were like a reassurance, and the tight string suddenly broke. Ye Mingqian's eyes darkened and he fainted.
