“Do you know? Miss Chi, would you like to go see her?” Huo Yi was quite surprised she brought up Chi Ya on her own but still answered respectfully.
Chi Enen nodded, her expression serene, “Would it be convenient for me to see her?”
“Of course. Master Jue had already instructed that if Miss Chi wished to handle her personally, it should be done as you see fit. However, Master Jue also mentioned that if he doesn’t have the time to accompany you, to ensure your safety, I must go with you.”
Li Beijue talks a tough game, but he’s genuinely considerate behind the scenes.
A warmth touched Chi Enen’s heart, and she smiled softly, “I’m troubling you, Butler Huo.”
“This is my duty,” Huo Yi bowed slightly, “Please wait a moment, Miss Chi, I will make the arrangements.”
…
Huo Yi brought her to a secluded residential house near the hospital.
Two black-clothed bodyguards were standing guard outside the house; they greeted them respectfully upon their arrival, “Good day, Butler Huo.”
“Open the door.”
The bright light from outside the door slanted in, illuminating the damp and chilly room.
Chi Enen saw a disheveled woman, in a complete mess, curled up in the corner on a wooden board used as a bed. The piercing light shone in, and she jolted upright as if startled.
That face…
It was unmistakably Chi Ya!
When Chi Enen got a clear view of Chi Ya, Chi Ya also had a clear view of her, and even more so, a clear view of Huo Yi standing beside her.
Chi Enen wasn’t dead, nor was she bedridden and unable to get up!
Jealousy spread across Chi Ya’s face, and she coughed before struggling to get up. Like she would concede defeat but not the battle, she lifted her chin up and said coldly, “Chi Enen, have you come to gloat at my misfortune? Dream on! My uncle will find me soon, and then you’ll see what’s coming to you!”
“And my dad, he won’t neglect me either. Once he realizes I’m missing, he’ll know it’s your doing. He definitely won’t let you off!”
Her voice was hoarse, like a broken violin, each word grating to the ear.
Chi Enen was surprised to find that Chi Ya’s voice was damaged.
She reflexively glanced towards Huo Yi, then turned her head back quickly.
Without guessing, the ruin of Chi Ya’s voice must have been Li Beijue’s handiwork.
She always knew that Li Beijue was not the harmless presence he was with her and Baby Chi; there was a reason why so many people feared him, indicating the ruthlessness of his methods.
However, she did not sympathize with Chi Ya.
She was no saintly lotus, not obliged to considerate every individual. Chi Ya had repeatedly schemed against her, and if murdering weren’t against the law, she wouldn’t mind stabbing Chi Ya a few times.
Especially now that she knew the truth of what happened 20 years ago, she felt no kinship towards the Chi family, only disgust and anger!
So, when Chi Ya deliberately mentioned Chi Jianguo to provoke her, she didn’t feel upset; her heart remained incredibly calm, calmly telling her, “Chi Jianguo has already visited me. He told me he regrets that due to being too busy with work he couldn’t personally send you to the police station himself, allowing Gu Qiaomei and your uncle to find a loophole and get you out. He never once mentioned letting you off the hook, and he assured me again and again that he would deal with you harshly this time.”
Chi Ya froze, then flailed her hands, shouting excitedly, “Impossible! You’re lying! You’re just trying to deceive me! Ha, Chi Enen, do you think I would believe you like this?”
“Why would I lie to you? What do you have left that’s worth my time to lie about?” Chi Enen was full of scorn.
Chi Ya was now nothing more than a prisoner awaiting sentence.
