Chapter 390 He Is A Devil.
“I...I...” Xia Ning clenches her fist. Suddenly, she has an idea, “If mom knows that, she will criticize me for that.”
When Yi Yunrui hears her words, he freezes his face.
Xia Ning bites her lower lip and lowers her face.
Mother-in-law, I am sorry that I make use of you as an excuse.
Yi Yunrui looks at Xia Ning quietly. He knows that his wife is lying.
Anyway, she makes up a good reason.
She succeeds in preventing him from finding out the truth by other methods.
However, he feels his heart ache very much.
He feels sad that his wife doesn’t tell him the truth. She doesn’t think that he is reliable.
Yi Yunrui holds out his hand to hug his wife into his embrace. His big hand gently opens her clenched fists and rubs her hands. He feels sad in his heart, wondering whether he doesn’t do anything well enough.”
“You have me with you. Don’t worry.” He murmurs over her head. Yi Yunrui gives a sigh of relief in his heart.
His is powerful but considerate. Xia Ning puts her head into his embrace. Her thought is in a mess.
It is only a hair. She knows that she should not overreact. But she is very afraid.
She is afraid of the truth. She is afraid that this tenderness may go away from her.
Zhang Hai knocks at the window of the car. Xia Ning instinctively gets up. But she is held more tightly by Yi Yunrui.
Zhang Hai opens the door and sees them holding each other tightly. Zhang Hai takes a step backwards, “Commander...”
“Go ahead. What’s wrong?” If not because of emergencies, Zhang Hai will not come to him now.
Zhang Hai glances at Xia Ning, “Commander, we have found out the attacker. It is a model from TC Group. She has some connections with a gangster from Zhenxing Society. On that night, she asked the gangster to do it.”
“They are the only people behind that?”
“Du Feng said in the police office that he had known nothing about that. We have not confirmed with TC Group. Commander, in my opinion, this plan is too bold. I don’t think Su Shen would do that.”
Yi Yunrui thinks for a while and responds, “OK. I see. We don’t need to care about Zhenxing Society. Keep an eye on TC Group.”
“Yes, Sir!” Zhang Hai closes the door.
Yi Yunrui notices that Xia Ning is in meditation. He gently strokes her hair, “Are you thinking about TC Group?”
“Hum.” Xia Ning nods, “I don’t know whether President Su has anything to do with the case. But I really feel confused now. I think about the attack and Su Xueli. Darling, what do you think President Su wants to do?”
Yi Yunrui gently looks at her. He puts her hands on his chest, “It is very easy to find out. We will attend the celebration banquet and figure it out tonight.”
Xia Ning feels surprised, “Darling, didn’t you say that we were not going to attend it?”
“I have changed my mind.” Yi Yunrui touches her nose, “In the past, I was stopped by my special identity. Now, I can accompany you to any occasions, unless you dislike me.”
Xia Ning rolls her eyes. If Commander Yi could be disliked by others, many men in the world would be simply ignored.
Yi Yunrui and Xia Ning show up in the dressing room again and attract the attention of a lot of people. This time, the sponsor specially arranges a celebration banquet and invites all the people attending the event to it.
The banquet is arranged in the VIP hall of the five-star Housewell Hotel.
As arranged, there will be a table for models, a table for senior managers and some special seats for some people. However, because of their identities and under the request of Zhou Mengyao, Yi Yunrui and Xia Ning sit at the table with Zhou Mengyao.
It is a celebration banquet, drinking wine is unavoidable. There are many people from high management. A lot of people propose toasts to other people to attract attention. The whole VIP hall is full of flattering.
Though Yi Yunrui sits at the same table with Zhou Mengyao, his identity is confidential. When he came out of the car, he had changed his army uniform into casual clothes. Therefore, few people disturb him. However, Zhou Mengyao is busy responding to other people’s greetings. Jiang Yongran, who sits beside her helps drink a lot of wine for her.
There are also many people fawning on Xia Ning. But all the wine they send are stopped by Yi Yunrui.
“I am her husband.” Every time he drinks the wine, Yi Yunrui briefly introduces himself.
Everyone is surprised. They look at each other confusedly. Those who don’t know the reasons think that Xia Ning is Wu Ying’s exclusive model, while this man is afraid that other people may flirt with his wife and so he introduces himself so directly.
However, he looks handsome and powerful as a king. People have some scruple about him and don’t dare to act improperly.
Xia Ning is afraid that Yi Yunrui may drink too much wine. She holds Yi Yunrui’s hand and says in a low voice, “I am OK to drink some wine. Be careful that you drink too much for me.”
Yi Yunrui feels sweet. He gently smiles, “Sweetheart, don’t worry. This volume of wine won’t have any impact on me.”
His wife doesn’t know how they drink when he deals with people from the Headquarters of Military Commanders.
At the time, Zhang Hai goes to Yi Yunrui and whispers by his ear. Yi Yunrui nods. Zhang Hai goes away.
Yi Yunrui puts downs the cup in his hand and looks at Su Shen.
Xia Ning feels confused, “Darling, what happened?”
“We are going to see a play.”
They drink some wine for a while when they see a group of people coming to the VIP hall. The leader of them is Director Tong!
Director Tong is a big shot in C City. Many people feel surprised to see him.
It is just a celebration banquet. Why does the great Director Tong come here?
Director Tong briefly greets everyone. He goes directly to Su Shen and says in a low voice, “President Su, sorry to disturb you. We will leave once we finish. Please understand.”
Su Shen feels confused, “What brings you here?”
“Well...” Director Tong looks at Su Xueli who is sitting beside Su Shen, “We need to ask Assistant Su to go with us.”
Hearing Director Tong say her name, Su Xueli feels shocked. She hesitates for a while and asks, “What happens? Why do you want to take me away?”
Director Tong doesn’t respond. The team leader behind him says, “Assistant Su, you are accused of committing the crime of intentional injury. Please go with us.”
“What intentional injury?” Su Xueli feels confused, “I haven’t done anything! Please check again. I have stayed in the company all these days. You have made a mistake.”
The noise from the table of TC Group attracts the attention of a lot of people. The noisy hall suddenly turns silent.
Su Shen looks around and turns to Director Tong, “Director Tong, please give me a minute. I want to have a word with Assistant Su.”
Director Tong nods, “President Su, anyway, we have to take Assistant Su with us today. If she thinks it is of injustice, she can ask for legal support. I hope President Su doesn’t stand in the way.”
“Hum. I see. Xueli, come with me.” Then, he stands up and goes towards the back of the hall.
When the door of the tearoom is closed, Su Xueli says at once, “President Su, I really have never committed any crime. I have been in the company all these days. Please believe me. The police must be...”
“Xueli.” Su Shen interrupts, “You have to go with Director Tong.”
Su Xueli feels shocked.
Su Shen looks at Su Xueli’s confused eyes. He takes out a cheque and writes a series of figures on it. He passes it to Su Xueli, “Some days ago, something happened in front of the gate of Junhao Group. Xia Ning and Zhou Mengyao were attacked by some gangsters and were hurt. After investigation, they found that it was arranged by a standby model from TC Group. I have got rid of that model. But you.” Su Shen pauses and continues, “You can take this cheque. The money can make sure that you and your family will have a comfortable life. But you have to take the responsibility for the case.”
When Su Xueli sees the number on the cheque, she hesitates in her heart.
Su Shen tells her to bear the crime. If she does, she will have her reputation totally ruined. There won’t be any big company willing to hire her.
However, the money can really support her family for a very long time.
Money is the very thing that her parents want to get.
But...she didn’t do that. How can he tell her to bear the crime?
“No. I didn’t do that. I can’t take the money. President Su, I really need this job. I can’t give up. I can’t get fired and go home to meet my family. But if I go with the police, my whole life will be done. President Su, please. Don’t do that to me. Please.” Su Xueli says and kneels to Su Shen.
Su Xueli is crying in tears. But Su Shen looks indifferent. In the end, he laughs coldly and says word by word, “Su Xueli, you are done already.”
As if she hears thunder in a sunny day, Su Xueli feels shocked!
“You know what you have done. You may not take the money, but still, you are going to be taken away by the police. You can deny. However, once the case is discovered, you won’t end up committing intentional injury only. If you take the money, you can make some good arrangements for your parents. After you come out, you will still have money to lead a life. I can take back the money. You know it.”
Su Xueli looks deadly pale.
The man was so gentle and respectable when she met him for the first time. She had a crush on him. She loves him. And she is controlled by him now.
Those done are done. She can’t rewrite the past. Even if she could go back to the past, the man in front of her wouldn’t let her go.
She was really...blind.
How could she fall in love with a devil!
“Su Xueli, Director Tong is waiting outside. I don’t have so much time to discuss with you. You may take the money or not. Anyway, are you going to bear the crime?
Su Xueli grits her teeth. She clenches her fists so forcefully that her nails stick into her palms. But she is not aware of the pain.
She may take the money or not and she may bear the crime or not. Su Shen is going to push her to the bottom of hell.
The more she struggles, the more painful she feels.
Till this moment, she finally sees clearly what this man really is.
Sadly, it is too late...
“Bear the crime...take the money...” She closes her eyes and tears flow out of her eyes like water bursting out of a dam.
Su Shen smiles with satisfaction. He stands up and goes to her. He gently pats her shoulder, “Good girl.”
When they go back to the hall, Su Shen goes to Director Tong. He says helplessly, “Director Tong, I am sorry for my poor management. I have such a person in the company. You may take her with you. You may deal with the case accordingly. I won’t be partial to her.”
“Good. If everyone obeys the laws as President Su does, the society will become a better one. Assistant Su, please go with us to the police office.”
