Shen Xi turned back and met the man’s distressed and helpless eyes. The latter sighed as he pulled her into his arms.
“I can just kill him.” Sounding drab, Shen Xi buried her face against his chest.
She had a million ways to wipe Fu Hannian from the face of the earth without anyone noticing. He would not pose a threat then.
“I believe you.” Li Yuan rested his chin on the girl’s head while keeping her close. “But what about your big brother?”
The matter was straightforward and complicated at the same time. The tricky part lay in Fu Qingli’s feelings for Fu Hannian. He needed to see proof.
“Brother, I’m less important than Fu Hannian in Fu Qingli’s eyes?” There was a heavy air behind Shen Xi’s tone.
“Silly girl.” Li Yuan murmured as he knocked her little head. “It’s not that. How can he convict the man without evidence?”
Fu Qingli was keeping a clear head on the matter. It was not easy to make a decision when it came to murder cases, especially when the killer was someone he held dear to his heart.
“What if we can’t find proof at all?” Shen Xi lifted her head and locked eyes with Li Yuan.
“That won’t happen.” Li Yuan pulled her to sit on the bed. “The truth will come out when Dad regains his memories. Fu Hannian won’t be able to talk his way out of it.”
Without a word, Shen Xi let him gently remove her changed clothes and got back into her pajamas. He then enjoyed a moment of embrace with her.
“Don’t read too much into it. Let’s sleep.” Li Yuan kissed her forehead.
Amid snuffles, Shen Xi inquired about another matter. “Did you know I drugged your drink? Didn’t you drink it?”
“I’m resistant to meds.” Li Yuan tapped her pointy nose. “The health supplement you gave me came in use.”
Due to his poor health, he had been taking all kinds of medicines over the years. Hence, he was most sensitive toward medication and picked up on the drug when she gave him the drink.
However, the girl probably did not know that he grew immune to the harmful drugs after he started taking her pills.
Li Yuan believed he was likely to be invincible if anyone were to poison him.
Intrigued by what she was up to, Li Yuan pretended to be out cold. It never crossed his mind that she was planning an assassination in the middle of the night.
“Why didn’t you tell me?” Shen Xi gave him a dirty look before turning her back on him.
Looking at the girl’s back, Li Yuan reached out to jab her tender ear and spoke in a rather alluring and husky manner. “I’m sorry. My bad.”
“What did you do wrong?” Shen Xi asked with a pout.
“I shouldn’t have kept it from you.” On his best behavior, Li Yuan nuzzled up against her neck. “Mrs. Li, can you forgive me just this once?”
This was not the source of Shen Xi’s tantrum. Li Yuan was only an excuse. Still, his soft pleas melted her heart. She snorted and turned around to bite his lips. “I won’t want you anymore if there’s a next time.”
“Roger that.” Li Yuan held her as he affectionately covered butterfly kisses on her lips and neck.
Despite getting breathless, the pair stayed close in each other’s arms without taking it further. Instead, they quietly embraced and indulged in the moment’s tranquility and intimacy.
The first thing in the morning.
Shen Xi just got out of bed to find Fu Qingye leaving in a hurry. Without a second thought, she jumped from the second floor and chased after him. “Qingye, where are you going?”
Her gut was telling her something was up. Qingye had never been so freaked out.
“Qingli left at dawn and is out for blood. Do you have any idea what’s going on?” Fu Qingye anxiously looked at Shen Xi. “Qingli took a gun with him. I heard he’s heading up to Uncle Hannian’s.”
Taking a solemn stance, Shen Xi dragged him to move along. “I’m going with you.”
It had only been one night. Why was he going after the man prior to any concrete plan and the word getting out?
“I’m coming too.” Li Yuan caught up. Fully dressed, he grabbed his jacket and draped it over the girl. He also changed her fluffy indoor slippers.
Fu Qingli must have discovered something for him to go straight to Fu Hannian with a gun. He was not there to bond.
Behind the mountains of the Fu family’s estate was the sea.
The rising sun painted a red-orange hue over the sea as if it was set on fire.
Two vessels were in the vicinity of a confrontation across the sea.
“Uncle.” With his hands behind his back, Fu Qingli faced the person on the other side. His face could spark chills.
“When did you find out?” Fu Hannian seemed collected on the surface, carrying out the conversation with a grin across his face like they were talking about the weather.
“Yesterday.” Fu Qingli smiled. He rarely curled his lips, but the grin bore no emotions. In fact, it could send chills down everyone’s spine. “What a coincidence, huh? You should have made a run for it two days ago.”
“I miscalculated my move.” Fu Hannian sighed. “Did Li Yuan tell you?”
Curling his lips, Fu Qingli remained courteous, “Uncle, let’s cut the bullcr*p. Come back with me. We should settle the family matters at home.”
“Qingli, I’ve been nothing but nice to you. I helped build you into who you are today. Have you forgotten?” Looking Fu Qingli in the eye, Fu Hannian appealed to pathos. “Even so, you should forgive me this once for all that I’ve done for you. Pretend you never saw me here. We’re family.”
Fu Hannian had a bad hunch yesterday. He brooded over the whole night on ways to kill Fu Handing as a means to tie up loose ends. Ideally, the whole family should be annihilated so there was nothing left to fear.
However, all his ideas led to a dead end. Fu Hannian knew the nephew he catapulted to high ranks all too well. Fu Qingli was not one to be messed with.
As for Li Yuan, Fu Hannian was familiar with his cool and callous ways. Li Yuan wiped out his own family without mercy. Now, that was a true demon with blood on his hands.
Fu Hannian thought about it and believed he stood no chance against them both. Needless to say, another assassination and whatnot were out of the question.
Still, Fu Qingli cornered him due to the one slip-up. Had Fu Hannian planned the escape earlier than Fu Qingli got eyes on him, he would never be caught.
