Fated to My Billionaire Husband

Chapter 981: Chapter 981: The Man Dating Yan Yue Chapter 981: Chapter 981: The Man Dating Yan Yue Ruan Tianling suddenly turned his head, and that was when he saw Yan Yue on the ground, her forehead struck by a bullet.

She lay there motionless, her blood soaking through her hair…

Her eyes were wide open, bearing the expression of someone who died with grievances unappeased.

Where had the bullet come from?

Ruan Tianling had no desire to take another look at Yan Yue.

His gaze swiftly scanned the room, then he noticed the bullet hole in the window.

The window was directly in line with Yan Yue’s face; had he been standing in front of her just moments before, the bullet would have hit him…

Ruan Tianling moved with Jian Yufei to a safe corner, shielding her.

“Someone’s in the tree across the way, search it immediately!” he ordered his subordinates in a stern voice.

Jian Yufei cowered in his embrace, trembling all over.

Ruan Tianling held her tight, whispering comforting words, “Don’t be afraid, it’s all right now.”

“Is Yan Yue dead?” Jian Yufei asked, looking up at him.

Ruan Tianling nodded, “She must be dead.”

Survival was highly unlikely after taking a bullet to the forehead.

Jian Yufei’s mood suddenly turned gloomy. Had Yan Yue ever considered that she might be killed when she murdered her child?

The police quickly cordoned off the scene, taking control of the situation…

Ruan Tianling helped Jian Yufei into the car, then walked around to the other side and got in himself.

He started the car and slowly drove away.

A few black sedans followed behind, all filled with bodyguards escorting them.

Jian Yufei slumped weakly against the seatback. Ruan Tianling gave her a glance and asked with concern, “Are you feeling unwell?”

“I’m fine,” Jian Yufei shook her head. This wasn’t her first time experiencing such a scene, so she wasn’t frightened.

“Why did he kill Yan Yue?” she asked, puzzled.

“He? Do you know who the killer is?” Ruan Tianling asked her with a smile.

“It must be the man Yan Yue was seeing,” she replied.

Ruan Tianling nodded, “It must be him. He killed Yan Yue to keep her from revealing his identity.”

“Who could he be then?”

Ruan Tianling speculated, “I think he’s related to Xiao Zibin, one of Xiao Zibin’s men.”

“Why?” Jian Yufei asked in surprise.

“Impossible. If he were one of Xiao Zibin’s men, Xiao Lang wouldn’t have warned me about the problem with Yan Yue’s child.”

Ruan Tianling’s eyes darkened as he spoke coolly, “It’s my intuition. I feel that man is Xiao Zibin’s. He impregnated Yan Yue deliberately. My guess is that Xiao Lang is Xiao Zibin’s overt operative, specifically used to divert our attention. That man is Xiao Zibin’s covert agent, with the purpose of using Yan Yue’s child to gain thirty percent of the Ruan Family’s shares.”

“But I questioned Xiao Lang, and he seemed unaware of this. I thought Xiao Zibin had been quietly inactive, planning on having Xiao Lang marry Yan Yue…”

“Do you really think Xiao Zibin’s actions would be that simple?”

Jian Yufei came to a realization.

Indeed, if she could think of this possibility, the Ruan family would surely have considered it.

They would certainly prevent Yan Yue from marrying Xiao Lang, never allowing the Ruan family shares to fall into Xiao Zibin’s hands so easily.

Ruan Tianling then added, “Now that the man has murdered to seal lips, it proves even more his connection with Xiao Zibin.”

“I don’t understand.”

“Murdering to seal lips is to avoid exposing himself. If he wasn’t involved in the struggle for shares, what would he be afraid of? Even if it’s known that he’s the father of the child, it would only prove that Yan Yue had another man. He wouldn’t be breaking the law, and the police couldn’t trouble him for it. However, his haste to murder and seal lips indicates that he’s covering up some truth…”
