Chapter 804: Hypocrisy (2)

  

If it was in the past, Zhao Youxi would have been provoked by him and rushed to settle the score with the two culprits. However, the current Zhao Youxi would not do as he wished.

Zhao Youxi saw all his thoughts and sneered in her heart. He wanted to use her to harm Zhao Youlin and divert everyone’s attention to Zhao Youlin. She did not have the energy to care about him anymore.

Zhao Youming’s plan was very good, but unfortunately, she was no longer the naïve fool who trusted him wholeheartedly.

“But, Youming, I just came back from abroad. I don’t have any foundations in Shalnork, and I don’t have any ability. I’m afraid I can’t help you this time.”

Zhao Youming was stunned. He raised his head and then lowered it again, putting on a disappointed expression. It took him a long time to recover from the shock before he sensibly replied, “It’s okay, it’s okay, sis. I’m already very satisfied that you came back to talk to me. This matter has nothing to do with you, to begin with. You don’t have to take it to heart.”

“What nonsense are you saying? You’re my younger brother. Your matters are mine. How could it not have anything to do with me? Don’t worry, I’ll definitely teach those people who bullied my family a lesson! Even if I can’t do it now, I’ll definitely do it for you in the near future.”

Zhao Youxi’s impassioned declaration made Zhao Youming a little happier. The corners of his lips curled up, and a trace of a smile flashed across his eyes. However, when Zhao Youxi looked up at him, he quickly returned to his original appearance. His face was delicate and pitiful, causing others to feel pity for him.

If Zhao Youxi did not know this person’s true nature, she might have been deceived by him with such a show. However, since she already knew this person’s true appearance, looking at Zhao Youming’s attitude… Zhao Youxi only felt… disgusted from the bottom of her heart.

Although she was extremely unwilling, Zhao Youxi still endured the discomfort and pretended to persuade him, “Youming, don’t be too narrow-minded. Don’t worry, the matter will be resolved eventually.”

“Yes, sister, I understand. Mom is gone, and now there’s only the two of us left at home. We should support each other and share the glory and disgrace together.”

When Zhao Youxi heard Zhao Youming talk about Li Hongyu again, the coldness in her eyes disappeared, but she put on a gratified expression, “It’s good that you understand. You have to remember that no matter what happens, I will always stand on your side.”

“Sister, you are really too good to me.”

Zhao Youxi suppressed the surging discomfort in her heart and said in a low voice, “You child, you are my younger brother. If I don’t treat you well, how do I treat those outsiders who want to tear us into pieces?”

Zhao Youming smiled but didn’t say anything. He was touched and reached out to hold Zhao Youxi’s hand. Zhao Youxi also reached out to shake her hand back.

The two of them held each other’s hands tightly. It looked exceptionally warm and harmonious, but only the two of them knew that each of them had ulterior motives in their hearts. It was not as harmonious as it looked on the surface.

Zhao Youxi was counting the time. She didn’t plan to separate from Zhao Youming just like that, so she took the initiative to change the topic and began to talk to Zhao Youming about the things that had happened to each other over the past year since they separated.

However, Zhao Youxi soon found out that Zhao Youming was slowly dissecting her, both inside and out. He wanted to test if she was different from the past and if she would pose a threat to him.

Zhao Youxi sneered in her heart. She only felt that Zhao Youming hadn’t changed at all after so long. She quietly brought up all kinds of topics with him. Even so, she could not help but feel a little bored.

When it was almost time, Zhao Youxi decisively cut off the topic. She smiled and said, “Youming, look at the time. It’s not early anymore. I should go back. If I’m late, I’m afraid I won’t be able to find a ride hom. You shouldn’t stay out too late. Otherwise, people will catch you and make a fuss about it.”

When Zhao Youming heard Zhao Youxi’s words, his eyes flashed, but he did not say anything to persuade her to stay. He only asked Zhao Youxi, “Sister, where are you staying now? Aren’t you going to move back home?”

Zhao Youxi looked troubled and said, “I’m staying in a hotel now. You know how big the matter with mom was. As for grandfather… if they know that I’m back in the country, they’ll probably come after me again. I’d better not move back home for the time being.”

Zhao Youxi’s reason was sound, so Zhao Youming didn’t say anything to make her move back home now. He only pretended to show some reluctance to Zhao Youxi and watched her leave.

Having met Zhao Youxi, Zhao youming felt much better. When he returned home, the servants and the housekeeper all felt that Zhao Youming was different. If it was before when he left… Zhao Youming’s entire face had been dark. Now, he had cleared away the dark clouds and regained some of his beauty again.

Unfortunately, this charm would not last for long.

What Zhao Youming did not expect was that when he was fantasizing that Zhao Youxi would find trouble with Zhao Youlin after his provocation and use it to divert everyone’s attention to make a comeback… an even bigger conspiracy had been quietly carried out in the dark night, and it was about to sink him into a tragic situation where he would never be able to recover.

Early the next morning, Zhao Youlin received a call from the intelligence agents who had gone to investigate Zhao Yifei’s whereabouts. They said that they had found Zhao Yifei’s current address, and he was living in a remote condominium in the Eastern Suburbs.

Zhao Youlin explained the situation to Zhao Shunrong, and then she brought a few people to go and talk to Zhao Yifei in person.

Zhao Shunrong was worried that she would go alone, so he called Mu Tingfeng and asked him to go with Zhao Youlin.

It turned out that Zhao Shunrong was very prescient.

Zhao Youlin and the others soon found the condominium where Zhao Yifei was. They knocked on the condominium door for a long time, but there was no movement inside.

Zhao Youlin turned to look at Mu Tingfeng. “Is he not at home?”

Mu Tingfeng glanced at the condominium door with a sullen face. Suddenly, he seemed to see something. He narrowed his eyes and reached out to touch the door handle.

Zhao Youlin glanced at Mu Tingfeng’s hand carelessly. When she saw the red stain on his fingertip, her expression suddenly changed.

The two of them looked at each other tacitly. Zhao Youlin took a few steps back to give Mu Tingfeng some space.

Mu Tingfeng raised his leg, and with a loud bang, the condominium’s door was kicked open.

Zhao Youlin looked at the door that was kicked open and realized that the door seemed to be a little hard. She couldn’t help but glance at Mu Tingfeng’s leg. “Are you okay with your leg kicking like that?”

Mu Tingfeng’s face stiffened for a moment and he said calmly, “It’s okay.”

Before Zhao Youlin could continue to struggle over this matter, a person’s scream from the side attracted everyone’s attention. “Ah, inside… inside…”
