Destined Wife: The Apple of My Eye

Chapter 52



Chapter 52 Yan Hua is the Chief Culprit?

For such a big accident, the TV station has set up a special column to report current affairs. About 10 o’clock in the evening, Fei Ying calls.

“Hua, do you know that the accident today is man-made?”

Yan Hua is too astonished to almost drop her cell phone.

“It is said that the restaurant security measures were not in place, isn’t it?”

Fei Ying sighs over the phone, “No, my husband says that it is man-made.”

As for the details, Fei Ying is not clear. She just knows that the police have already been looking into it. The next day Yan Hua gets up before Gungun wakes and runs to the dining room.

“Can I help you?” Lang Ruoxian comes in to see her and raises his eyebrows.

Yan Hua coughs and runs up to him to ask him in a low voice, “Fei Ying said that yesterday’s explosion was man-made.”

“Fei Yi said it.” Lang Ruoxian pulls open his chair and sits down. “He has connections with the underground.”

“What kind of person is so crazy!”

Lang Ruoxian doesn’t look very well. Yan Hua was frightened yesterday, so he had a nightmare to see the little woman shivering last night.

“Is Gungun okay?” He shifts the topic.

Yan Hua shakes her head and answers, “It’s okay. He is too young to remember.”

“That’s good.” Lang Ruoxian looks at his watch. The Spring Festival is coming and the company is still busy. He specially enjoins Yan Hua before going to work.

“You’d better not go out these days.”

“I see.” Yan Hua does not dare to go out, either.

If this happened abroad, the explosion would be a prelude to terrorist attacks. Who knows if there will be another one?

Lang Consortium.

“Young Master, we have found it out.” Xiaokai rushes in hurriedly. “It is a man named Liu Quan who did it. He originally aimed at Miss Yan and Mrs. Fei.”

Clap! Lang Ruoxian’s pen is broken.

“Who is this guy?”

“A foreman in a KTV who used to be a gangster. Fei Family had their eyes on him yesterday, and they have already leaked the information to the police, who have already taken him away.”

Lang Ruoxian’s eyes seem to be as cold as snow. “Investigate him. Keep investigating him.”

In the afternoon, they get the photos of Liu Quan’s confession. Xiaokai prints out and hands over to Lang Ruoxian.

“No, it is wrong.” Lang Ruoxian’s eyebrows knit in a frown after looking through the photos.

According to Liu Quan’s confession, he was an accomplice in the abduction and trafficking of Xiaojiu. There was also a woman who was his girlfriend, but everyone except him was caught because of Yan Hua.

“What is wrong?” Xiaokai feels lucky for them and says, “Young Master, you are so lucky. Otherwise…”

Liu Quan has been following Yan Hua and Fei Ying, but they seldom go out. Unexpectedly, the two women became friends and went to the clubhouse together that day.

“He slipped into the kitchen on the plea of eating dinner, damaged the natural gas pipelines and equipment, and calculated the explosion time. But things didn’t go as he expected.”

When Lang Ruoxian and Fei Yi parked their cars that day, they parked across the road. But at ordinary times, they could only park at the side of the explosion. But at that time, the billboard which was on the top floor of the office building behind the shop suddenly loosened, and someone was repairing it. There was a sign specially placed below, on which was written “Watch out for falling objects.”

“Heaven rewards the good!” Xiaokai smiles.

But Lang Ruoxian’s eyebrows still knit in a frown.

“Young Master?” Xiaokai calls Lang Ruoxian.

Lang Ruoxian throws the copy of the confession into the shredder and tells Xiaokai, “Keep investigating Liu Quan and find out whom he usually associates with. I want to know all about Liu Quan’s interpersonal relationships after primary school. “

After Xiaokai leaves, Lang Ruoxian receives a phone call from Fei Yi.

“Don’t you think something is wrong?” Asks Lang Ruoxian when he gets through to Fei Yi.

Fei Yi seems to freeze for a moment, then chuckles and says, “You are excellent.”

“Don’t you also find it out?” Lang Ruoxian does not respond to his praise.

The reason for revenge associates seems very reasonable, but he set off the explosion in the public place and also hurt so many innocent lives. Is it really just to revenge Yan Hua and Fei Ying?

“He also said that the target was me at first, but it was too difficult to deal with me.” Fei Yi says coldly, “And Miss Yan and my wife are always surrounded by bodyguards. That’s why he used that method.”

Lang Ruoxian still thinks that there is something wrong. Obviously neither of Fei Yi and he believe Liu Quan’s confession.

“I’ll continue to investigate and please let me know in time if you find out anything.”

Hanging up the phone, Lang Ruoxian picks up his coat and leaves.

“Mr. Lang?” Seeing that he is going out, the secretary at the door says quickly, “You will have a meeting in an hour.”

“We shall not have the meeting. Change the time.”

Secretary is speechless.

Yan Hua is playing with Gungun when she sees Lang Ruoxian coming in. She asks him in surprise, “Why are you off work so early today?”

“There is something I want to tell you.” Lang Ruoxian takes off his coat and sits opposite to the mother and son, telling her about the investigation.

“I don’t want to deceive you. You have the right to know.” He never thinks that Yan Hua is only a delicate and charming rose. She should be a delicate and charming rose with thorns that can bloom in the cold wind.

Lang Ruoxian looks at her and says, “I tell you that because I don’t want you to feel burdened. After all, the truth of the matter is still unclear.”

“Just because of this, he hurt so many people…” Yan Hua begins to shiver again and holds Gungun into her arms.

Gungun looks up and calls her, “Mommy?”

“Mommy is fine.” Yan Hua kisses him, “If you are sleepy, you just sleep!”

They have been playing, and Gungun is too sleepy to keep his eyes open.

Gungun blows a bubble, closes his eyes and falls asleep immediately.

“If you feel burdened, I will not tell you later.” Lang Ruoxian couldn’t help raising his hand to touch Yan Hua’s head.

Yan Hua, immersed in self-reproach, does not pay attention to his touch and looks up at him blankly. “Could I… Could I do something?”

“You don’t have to do anything.” Lang Ruoxian withdraws his hand. “Protect yourself and Gungun, and I’ll be at ease.”

Yan Hua hears this sentence very clearly, and her heart begins to beat faster again.

“I… I should go back to my room.” She stands up and runs upstairs with Gungun in her arms.

Lang Ruoxian remains sitting for a long time, then he smiles.

If… she is willing, too, then he has no worries.

They haven’t found out Liu Quan’s secret yet. Suddenly someone exposes the matter online, as if he has seen Liu Quan’s confession and states it clearly.

“Young Master, it is too late to control it. That post has been forwarded millions of times.”

Even if they start to delete those posts one by one, they can’t remove all of those posts so quickly. If this is the case, it will be all right. However, many people begin to scold Yan Hua and Fei Ying and think it’s their fault.

“Young Master, the families of the deceased in the explosion have begun to issue statements.” Xiaokai looks solemn. “They want us to give them an explanation.”

Some people who are hostile to the rich and Internet trolls start attacking Yan Hua and Fei Ying on moral grounds. They blame the two women to be the chief culprits for the explosion, which caused innocent people to have lost their lives.

There are plenty of condemnations. Yan Hua is comparatively okay because she has no account on micro blog and those people could not abuse her directly.

“Xiaoying, are you all right?”

But Fei Ying is unlucky. She has a micro blog account and she is a gourmet blogger with hundreds of thousands of fans. She teaches people to make desserts.

“It’s okay. They can only scold on my micro blog webpage.” Fei Ying says so and sighs, “Fortunately, some people still keep sober-minded.”

Some netizens who have moral integrity stand up and speak for the two women, but their influence is too small.

“I met this kind of cyber violence when I was abroad before. I was really scared at the first time, but now it doesn’t matter.”

Fei Ying also comforts her, “You shouldn’t take it to heart. I hear that Mr. Lang has already tried to find a way to solve this.”

Fei Family have just returned to China and their foundation is still shallow. This kind of thing will depend on Lang Ruoxian.

Lang Ruoxian controls the trend of public opinions on the Internet, and Fei Yi uses his means to investigate Liu Quan. The two men cooperate for the first time and soon make great discoveries.

“Liu Quan had a girlfriend in high school.” Fei Yi is sitting in Lang Ruoxian’s office. “Look at this girl.”

Lang Ruoxian takes the photo and screws up his eyes. “Cui Bo…”

“She was Liu Quan’s first girlfriend, and she was formerly named Cui Hongbo.” Fei Yi says, “Later, when she was discovered by the talent scout, she changed her name to start her career, and broke up with Liu Quan.”

But Liu Quan has always loved this woman deeply and stays willingly beside Cui Bo to help her deal with those shady business deals.

“Otherwise, how can Cui Bo control those young girls and become a pimp by herself?”

Lang Ruoxian guesses the follow-up, “He did this for seeking revenge for Cui Bo.”

“Cui Bo is now slightly delirious and cannot accept the fate of retiring from the world of showbiz. Liu Quan acted on his own to seek revenge for her this time, so he set off the explosion in the public place.”

He wanted Yan Hua and Fei Ying to be spurned like Cui Bo, and even to live in pain with the condemnation of their conscience.

“I’ll hand over the rest work to you.” Fei Yi stands up. “As for Liu Quan, I’ll deal with him.”

Lang Ruoxian quickly finds someone to post. Fei Yi even finds the photo stickers of Liu Quan and Cui Bo, together with intimate photos of them in private.

The netizens are stunned at once.

“He had done so many bad things for a woman.” Yan Hua puts down her cell phone. The netizens turn back to scold Liu Quan and Cui Bo, even the families of the dead.

Yan Hua feels that Liu Quan is pathetic and pitiful. He had lost his conscience and humanity for the sake of a woman who took advantage of him.

“Good love can make people reborn, but bad one… can destroy a person and make him go to hell.”

Yan Hua looks up and seems surprised that Lang Ruoxian could say something so inspirational. But she finds herself facing the man’s meaning gaze.

“Am I wrong?” The man looks at her and says, “If you fall in love with a person deeply, it is natural to do everything for the person regardless of your own safety.”

Yan Hua lowers her head and does not dare to look at his eyes. “But sometimes, this kind of feeling will destroy the person you love, even irrelevant people.”

She pauses and adds, “Liu Quan, for example.”

“He was stupid.” Lang Ruoxian suddenly approaches her. The breath of the man makes Yan Hua feel hard to breathe. She reaches out to hold her chubby son, but she fails.

She looks around and finds that Gungun is playing toy cars at the other side of the carpet. She has no idea when Gungun is there.

“You… You are too close.” She has to push Lang Ruoxian aside.

But she can’t push him away.

“Have you ever liked He Mingkai?” Lang Ruoxian suddenly asks her in a low voice.

Yan Hua comes back to her senses when she hears the name and stares at him coldly. “Does it matter if I like him?”

“Of course, it is very important to me.” Lang Ruoxian’s eyes seem to hide some secret, which will be revealed in the next second.

Yan Hua flings him aside and stands up. “I’m sorry. I don’t think who I like has anything to do with you.”

She holds Gungun up and asks, “Brother-in-law, do you think that I am right?”
