Chapter 383: Sudden Collapse
“Ahem.” Pei Xu coughed and gave Yu Qiubai a look. ‘That’s enough… We just need to know who was involved, not watching for the fun of it…’
The man was so ugly and had a small penis, so there was nothing to look at. It would just stain Shen Xi’s eyes.
Pei Xu glanced sideways at Shen Xi and noticed that she always had a calm and relaxed expression as if she was watching an ordinary movie. No one could guess what she was thinking.
Yu Qiubai shut the laptop screen.
Song Wenye slapped his hand. ‘It’s not over yet!’
Pei Xu said, “If you wanna watch, just find it online. There are so many better ones out there…”
Shen Xi lifted her head lazily and glanced at him.
Pei Xu coughed and explained, “Xixi, I don’t watch this, really… What’s so good about it?”
Shen Xi did not say anything and smiled.
Song Wenye exposed him. “Xixi, he’s lying! They even used our classroom projector to watch porn!”
Pei Xu was speechless. ‘F*ck! Bloody traitor!’
The somewhat strange and awkward atmosphere became more relaxed.
Yu Qiubai’s fox eyes squinted as he laughed. He tapped his fingers on the laptop and asked, “Pei Xu, you’ve seen this man before, right?”
Pei Xu nodded. The nonchalance under his eyes was replaced by a murderous aura. Of course, he had seen this man before. “Lu Zhao.”
At that time, he felt that Xu Wei was abnormally close to Lu Zhao. Pei Xu even had someone to follow them for a while, but perhaps Xu Wei was alerted, he failed to find any proof of her betrayal to Brother Nian.
Yu Qiubai said, “I think she might have wanted to kill you because of this.”
The video was captured by someone that Yu Qiubai hired to follow Lu Zhao.
Lu Zhao invested 100 million yuan in Yu Qiubai’s new company some time ago, so he investigated him as his company’s shareholder.
Who knew that this investigation would lead to Xu Wei.
Lu Zhao was originally a gangster, who somehow got rich overnight and opened several nightclubs in the Capital.
Upon further investigation, Yu Qiubai found that the source of money was questionable. Xu Wei was taking money from Ning Sinian to support her lover.
When this sex tape was taken, Yu Qiubai kept it for rainy days as he had no personal relationship with Ning Sinian or the Ning family.
Today when he came to watch the race and heard from the International Class that Shen Xi and Pei Xu got into an accident because Xu Wei tampered with their car, Yu Qiubai revealed the video to Pei Xu so he could take revenge on Xu Wei.
“Pei Xu, you can decide what you want to do with this video.” Yu Qiubai paused for a moment and added, “Also, I suspect this man’s money came from Xu Wei.”
Lu Zhao was definitely a pickup artist. He was ugly and incapable, yet there were still women who loved him.
“Thanks.” Pei Xu put away the flash drive. His eyes were cold and stern.
Song Wenye saw his expression and knew that Xu Wei was as good as dead. Even if Xu Wei did not cheat, she was already dead meat just based on what she did today.
Pei Xu received a call from Fu Qingxuan saying that he was going to send them a witness, so they waited.
Xu Xu came quickly and handed over the person who confessed to Fu Qingli to Shen Xi and her group.
The man was called Qiang Zi and was frightened by Fu Qingli earlier at the arena. His head was covered. When he was thrown to the ground, he curled up in fear thinking that they were going to kill him.
Pei Xu did not need to use much effort. After giving the man a violent beating, Qiang Zi confessed to everything. Xu Wei had instructed him to tamper with the brakes, wanting to kill Pei Xu to avenge Ning Sinian. Shen Xi was just collateral damage.
After the interrogation, Pei Xu tied Qiang Zi up and threw him in the trunk. He looked at Shen Xi and said, “How do you want Xu Wei to die?”
Shen Xi sneered and said, “We should treat others the way they treat us.”
Pei Xu said, “Leave it to me.”
It was fine if Xu Wei wanted to mess with him but when she involved innocent people, Pei Xu would be unforgiving.
11:00 pm.
Shen Xi finally got home.
Song Wenye pestered her and wanted to stay with her for the night, but Pei Xu dragged her away.
Shen Zhangqing and Yun Jinping were on a business trip, so no one was home. It was dark and cold everywhere.
Shen Xi made instant noodles. After eating, she looked around at the empty and cold house and felt a little desolate.
Toffeecito was next to her and rubbed its little fluffy head against her leg.
“Toffeecito, are you scared to be home alone every day?” Shen Xi picked the kitten up and put it on her lap as she patted its little head.
Toffeecito’s big eyes were like beautiful amber. It meowed at her and titled its little head to lick her hand.
“Your grandma and grandpa are not home.” Shen Xi felt overwhelming loneliness wash over her that made her feel like crying. “Your dad’s also not at home, so it’s just the two of us.”
Toffeecito’s small head was in her palms. It was soft, warm, and fluffy, which tickled her and she chuckled.
Fortunately, Toffeecito could still accompany her so she was not home alone.
Ever since she was reborn, Shen Xi was afraid of being alone at home because loneliness felt overwhelming and would swallow her up.
She could not sleep and refused to sleep. She could not figure out what to do to fill the emptiness in her heart. She climbed up and down the ladder outside with Toffeecito in her arms over and over again.
In the end, she looked at the empty road, descended the ladder, and walked to the door. She sat on the stone steps at the entrance and held her chin as she stared at the intersection.
Her dad was not coming home.
Her mom was not coming home either.
‘Brother should be coming back, right?’
She had to find something to do because she had no idea what she was waiting for or expecting but only knew that she would go mad if she stayed at home.
Time passed slowly.
When Shen Xi heard the sound of a car coming from the intersection, her eyes which seemed to have lost their sparks lit up.
The car turned in. Shen Xi stared at it unblinkingly and felt her heart pounding as the car approached.
The car stopped in front of her.
The car door opened.
The moment the man rolled his wheelchair over, Shen Xi choked on her emotions. She could not contain it any longer and started to sob as the accumulated panic, fear, and grievance surged uncontrollably in her heart. Her strong front suddenly collapsed, and tears gushed out in an instant.
