"Are you willing to talk now?" Bai Wenxi held her head high, looking at him with contempt in her eyes.
Yao Qingjia's nose was still bleeding. He glared fiercely at Bai Wenxi, who was dressed expensively and looked cold and gorgeous.
At the wedding when his aunt married into the Bai family, he fell deeply in love with Bai Wenxi at first sight.
However, this noble young lady had never even given him a proper look.
Yao Qingjia's eyes were bloodshot, filled with the resentment of unrequited love.
Bai Wenxi took a sip of water and said in surprise, "You're quite tough, aren't you? You don't want to talk?"
Wang Lü made a move to stand up.
"Don't, don't. I'll talk."
Yao Qingjia twitched the corner of his cracked mouth, recalling the inhumane beating just now.
Those people in detention were all extremely vicious. They showed no mercy at all!
Enduring the pain of his wounds, Yao Qingjia uttered a name, "Wu Qishan."
"I know nothing about his family background. All I know is that he's in charge of money - laundering abroad."
Suddenly, Bai Wenxi thought of the payee who often appeared on those bills.
Many payments from the Moon Island Resort Hotel were directly transferred to this person's account.
Bai Wenxi rarely threatened someone coldly, "What else do you know? I advise you to tell me quickly, or you'll suffer more."
Yao Qingjia covered his still - bleeding nose with his hand. A string of blood dripped from his cracked forehead into his eyes.
"Do you think I dare to lie in this state?"
Yao Qingjia blinked desperately, and strings of bloody tears dripped from the corners of his eyes.
"Humph!"
Su Yuning snapped, "What are you laughing at?"
"Miss Bai, you must hate my aunt, right?" Yao Qingjia became more and more crazy. "But you're just like her now. She wasn't born a bad person."
Yao Qingjia didn't stop talking. "I have to say, your methods just now were exactly the same as hers back then."
Bai Wenxi remained unmoved, "You're just a small fry. I'm too lazy to waste my time on you."
The lawyer presented a new appeal document. "Mr. Yao, with multiple crimes combined, I think you'll have to say goodbye to the colorful world outside for the rest of your life."
The three of them turned around and left without caring about how Yao Qingjia pleaded.
Su Yuning timidly tugged at Bai Wenxi's clothes. "I feel like he might still know something."
Wang Lü kindly explained, "Miss Bai has already told me to take good 'care' of him and let him talk slowly."
After walking out of the detention center, Bai Wenxi's tense back relaxed a little. "In extraordinary times, extraordinary measures. Yuning, for the truth, I'll do anything."
Su Yuning looked worriedly at Bai Wenxi, who was on full alert, and tried to persuade her. "Maybe Yao Chunmei just had an affair. Let's not be so paranoid. You're too tense. It'll only hurt your body."
Bai Wenxi leaned back on the back seat and said, "Wang Lü showed me the defense materials. This person is very capable."
Su Yuning comforted her, "Of course. He's my father's direct disciple."
Bai Wenxi summoned up her energy and held her younger sister's hand tightly. "The art museum's exhibition tour will start tomorrow. After attending the ceremony, I'll go to see my mother."
"Ah, so soon?" Su Yuning was puzzled. "Are you going alone?"
Bai Wenxi took out her powder compact and touched up her makeup. "Yes. I have some things to verify there."
"By the way, the director who's making a documentary about my father needs his manuscripts. I remember there were many of his personal letters from his youth in the old house."
Su Yuning vaguely sensed that something might have happened between her sister and brother - in - law.
That's why they, unlike other newlyweds, rarely went out together.
"Sigh, I'm just a bit worried."
Su Yuning sighed. "Sister Wen, I hope you'll be happy."
"Silly girl." Bai Wenxi pushed aside the hair sticking to her lips. "Happiness depends on yourself. Don't pin your hopes on others."
Bai Wenxi dialed Min Tete's phone. "Mr. Min, I'll add another sum of money. Please help me investigate a person."
"Who?"
"Wu Qishan."
Bai Wenxi said expressionlessly and quickly issued the order. "This person might be very dangerous. You should be careful. He specializes in money - laundering for others. I want to know his specific business dealings with Yao Chunmei."
"Received. No problem." Min Tete agreed readily.
"Ding Dong." Min Tete opened the text message and saw an incoming transfer from Bai Wenxi.
Min Tete laughed heartily. He knew that doing business with Miss Bai was the simplest and most worry - free.
"Yuning, I've made a reservation. Let's go and have lunch together."
Bai Wenxi looked at her cousin lovingly and pressed her shaking leg with her hand. "Shaking your legs means losing wealth. Don't do it in the future."
Su Yuning's round eyes curved into two crescent moons. "With you protecting me, I'm not afraid of losing wealth."
In the retro and elegant Western restaurant, there was a perfect table by the window.
The sunlight shone gently on the table through the glass. Pedestrians passing by the window added a touch of earthly charm.
"Yuning, there are new French desserts today." Bai Wenxi flipped through the menu and didn't even blink at the expensive food.
"I'll order one of each for you."
"By the way, sister. I heard from my father that the Jiang family wants me to go on a blind date with their son."
Su Yuning smacked her lips. "Are they serious or just kidding?"
Bai Wenxi awkwardly covered her eyes and just buried her head in ordering food.
"Oh, so they're serious." Su Yuning was precocious. "Is he handsome? If he is, I can go and meet him."
Bai Wenxi scared her, "He's extremely ugly. He has a bulbous nose and a pig - like face."
Su Yuning swallowed nervously. "Then I'll refuse. I won't go on the blind date."
"Damn it. Next time, I'll scold them. How dare they introduce such a weirdo to me?"
Bai Wenxi laughed uncontrollably. "I'm just joking. Actually, all the sons of the Jiang family are very handsome."
"However, it's not about looks at all." Bai Wenxi seriously advised her. "Don't get involved in this."
Suddenly, Su Yuning fell silent and stared blankly behind Bai Wenxi, her eyes rolling around.
"What's wrong? You look like a thief now." Bai Wenxi joked for a while and then felt something was wrong.
"Wenxi, long time no see."
Zhang Fuwen patted Bai Wenxi on the shoulder and sighed with emotion. "You look even more beautiful than before your marriage."
Bai Wenxi was very cold. "Hello."
Su Yuning simply kept silent and pretended to be looking at her phone messages.
Zhang Fuwen acted as if they were old friends. "Aning is here too. Don't you have classes today?"
Su Yuning looked up and waved as a greeting.
Bai Wenxi noticed sharply that there was a slender woman not far away, looking in their direction.
"Is she your friend?" Bai Wenxi pointed in that direction.
Zhang Fuwen looked back and said calmly, "My secretary."
"It's lunch break, so we just came out to have a meal together."
Bai Wenxi said sarcastically, "It's not very appropriate for a married man like you to have lunch with a woman alone, is it?"
