CHAPTER 115
Ye Cheng quickly got to his car and speed off away from the company.
It all made sense now. It was definitely not Bai Qing Mei that was there, except she wanted to give him a silly excuse that she did surgery to cover up the mark.
As he drove, his mind drifted back to his conversation with Li Jing.
Li Jing! Boy was he lucky to have met her. Ever since she came, she gave him the opportunity to see the loopholes in his life.
**Flashback**
"That is it!" Ye Cheng exclaimed.
"That is what?"
"His reply when I told him she was around, it wasn’t as though he was shocked at first."
Ye Cheng recalled how Hao Huizhong had answered him, ’She is around? I mean, alive?’
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt was as though he knew already that she was alive and was only expecting her to come over when he shouldn’t have.
"Oh, that says a lot. Or was it that she saw him on her way to your office?" Li Jing questioned again. She was trying her best to cross out all possibilities.
"No, when I mentioned him, she never said anything about seeing him before. So no, he shouldn’t have known on a normal, except he did before."
"Alright. Then again, she did not look like one who suffered from a kidnapping. She looked too perfect with no blemish or bruise."
"Yes and thinking of it now, I remember that a knife was used to trace a cut on her neck."
"I do not recall seeing any cut, I may have missed it. As I said, she looked perfect."
"Thank you very much, Li Jing. When we kissed, I did not see anything of that sort even when she titled her head forward to... Ahem!"
Knowing how inappropriate it was, he cleared his throat and changed the topic. He could see her facial expression dropped at that time but she tried to mask it with an awkward smile.
"Wouldn’t this mean that they are related to the kidnapping and it may have been well planned?" Li Jing asked, changing the topic.
Ye Cheng kept quiet for some time and finally stood up. "I need to confirm something, Li Jing."
**Flashback Ends**
’Bai Qing Mei... Hao Huizhong! I guess I just have to see things for myself then. Wait for me, Mei Mei.’
Increasing the speed of his car, Ye Cheng raced over to Bai Qing Mei’s house in hopes to finding out the truth once and for all.
Minutes later, he arrived at the Bai’s Residence or what was left of it now.
It wasn’t that it was bad or decapitated, it was that her father was gone and the usual flare the mansion had, suddenly died down.
No longer was it as busy as before with cars trolling in and out. Most of his friends had long stopped coming over to visit since he passed on ten years ago.
Ye Cheng pulled over in front of the mansion, both bothering to pack inside the compound and hurriedly made his way into the house.
Just as he stepped his feet at the porch, the doors pulled open to reveal a young maid and the butler.
They opened their mouths ready to greet him when he raised his hand in front of them to prevent their greeting and they just bowed their heads in understanding.
The maid moved to his front and was about going to inform the young Mistress about his arrival and once again he stopped her.
Left with no option, the young maid stepped aside and waited by the entrance of the door.
She had thought that since he did not wish to let Bai Qing Mei know of his arrival, then that would only mean that he wanted to surprise her.
The young maid lowered her gaze and smiled to the floor while she watched Ye Cheng silently from the corners of her eyes as he waited by the door of the living room, quietly.
He had prevented the maid from going forward into the living room based on one reason.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmUpon reaching the small passage before the living room, he had heard the sound of voices which particularly were owned by the two closest people in his life.
A word one of them said had made him stop in his tracks and move back against the wall.
"Yes, I cannot believe he fell for what I said." It was Bai Qing Mei who spoke up first, causing Ye Cheng to raise his brow at the news but he instantly composed himself as he did not want the maid and butler to notice anything.
They weren’t particularly loud but due to his sensitive hearing, he could pick out what they were saying when the maid and butler couldn’t.
’Oh really now! Bai Qing Mei, I knew there was something amiss.’
"I felt like laughing when I began to tell him about my sad tale and how frustrated and scared I was at that time. Sigh, if only Ye Cheng could have guessed and seen that he almost threw his life away from someone who was not me." Bai Qing Mei stated and burst into a round of laughter.
"He took too may beatings that day because of his pride. All that he needed to do was to sign the document and he would not have had to go through so much beating just for my sake."
"True, true."
"Then there is that girl from the party."
"Li Jing," Hao Huizhong helped her to complete it.
"Yeah. I showed her whom his heart belonged to and till now; she would know how to respect herself from now on and that I am back, things would change."
"He must be feeling confused and pressured right now. Also, he may as well have been mega happy seeing you back and alive. We could use that to our advantage."
"I never died in the first place, neither was I there, but at the very least, he would understand the story I told him and relax. Everything played out fine."
This was the first time in a long time for Ye Cheng to be this shocked and in so much pain.
