Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 1300: The events after 1299

“Elder Brother Li.”

Bai Yiyi was startled by the hostility in Li En’s eyes.

If it were not for the glass separating them, she believed that Li En would have strangled her if he could.

“Leave, and don’t come to see me again. Even if you do, I won’t meet with you,” Li En said before hanging up the phone, standing up, and leaving with the heavy shackle dragging behind him.

Bai Yiyi watched Li En walk step by step out of the visiting room until he turned his head to look at her with an utterly indifferent gaze at the door, then disappeared from her sight.

She pursed her lips, suddenly recalling the scene of their first meeting, subconsciously tightening her lips to ignore the sourness welling up in her heart.

She had just stepped out of the visiting room when her cellphone rang.

Seeing the caller ID, she knitted her brows, took a deep breath to calm herself, and then pressed the answer button, “Hello.”

“Don’t take to heart what Li En said,”

Gu Kai’s voice came through, deep and mellow.

Bai Yiyi was startled for a moment, then started walking down the steps, her tone calm and indifferent: “I won’t take it to heart… Did you hear it all?”

She hesitated before asking.

Gu Kai spoke to her calmly and soothingly, a rare occurrence, and Bai Yiyi felt the sadness brought on by Li En’s words diminish unconsciously as she listened.

“Yes, I heard everything. Not only that, but I saw all of Li En’s emotional changes. I’ve already told Qing Feng to take you home, you don’t have to go to the factory,” Gu Kai said gently, and even through the phone, Bai Yiyi could hear the concern, which stirred a faint warmth in her heart. She pursed her lips and still declined his offer: “The factory is at its busiest these days. As President Wen’s secretary, if I hide away at this time, I’m sure to be talked about.”

What she meant was that she would share the fate of Wen’s Pharmaceutical Factory.

“You said you heard my conversation with Li En and saw his facial expressions change. What do you think, is there a possibility for Li En?”

Bai Yiyi asked nervously.

She claimed to hate Li En and would never forgive him. But in reality, someone as kind as Bai Yiyi was not heartless or ungrateful.

The good things Li En had done for her over the years were etched in her heart.

After all, she still didn’t want him to take a road of no return, and even now, she hoped he could change and one day be released early.

“That, I can’t be certain of right now,” Gu Kai did not give Bai Yiyi a definite answer, but upon hearing this, her heart still sank sharply.

Gu Kai’s evasiveness led her to great disappointment in Li En.

“I understand.”

She was silent for a moment before responding faintly.

“Don’t think too much. Let Li En’s matter end here, there’s no need for you to worry about it. If you don’t want to go home and rest, then head to the factory.”

“Okay.”

Bai Yiyi had already spotted Qing Feng standing not far away.

Gu Kai did not say anything further and hung up the phone.

***

In the office of Police Chief Lu Zhiyan at the police station, Gu Kai, Mo Xiuchen, Lu Zhiyan, and two criminal psychology professors sat in front of a computer.

They had all heard the phone call between Bai Yiyi and Li En just now, and Lu Zhiyan was staring at a particular expression of Li En in the video, his fine eyebrows tightly knitted.

“Ah Kai, you should go back and rest too, there’s nothing more for you to do here.”

Mo Xiuchen’s gaze swept over Gu Kai as he spoke calmly.

“Bai Yiyi is going to the factory, I’ll go back in a bit.” After Gu Kai finished speaking, one of the criminal psychology professors asked Lu Zhiyan to replay the video, slowing down the speed, his sharp eyes intently observing every change in Li En’s expressions.

“Zhixing, stop.” Gu Kai suddenly spoke up, addressing Lu Zhiyan who held the mouse.

On hearing that, Lu Zhiyan pressed pause, “Is it here?”

Gu Kai pointed to the computer screen and said to the psychology professor, “Professor Li, look, when Bai Yiyi brings up the accident at the factory, Li En’s left hand under the table starts to curl its fingers, and also, his eyelids flutter…”

Mo Xiuchen’s phone rang, and he stepped out of the office to answer the call in the corridor: “Hello, Ah Jin.”

“How is it, has Yiyi met Li En already?”

The voice of Wen Jin came with a hint of anticipation.

Mo Xiuchen turned to look at the office behind him and said calmly, “Bai Yiyi has met Li En, and she is now on her way back to the factory. Li En doesn’t admit it was him, but we found something, and we think Li En is suspicious.”

They had made some discoveries while watching the video just now.

Although Mo Xiuchen was not a professional in psychology, he had extensive experience in the business world, was always meticulous and observant; what the two psychology experts had noticed, he had mostly observed as well.

“Alright, I got it, I just spoke to Uncle Gu on the phone, and he said they’ve found the cause,” Wen Jin said.

On hearing Wen Jin’s words, Mo Xiuchen showed a delighted expression, “They’ve found the cause?”

“Yes, Uncle Gu is hurrying to the hospital now, he also suspects this is Fu Jingyi’s style. Fu Jingyi is dead, so it can’t possibly be him. Therefore, Li En is the most likely suspect.”

“Good, I’ll tell Zhixing in a bit.”

After hanging up, Mo Xiuchen immediately returned to the office to share the good news with everyone: “Ah Kai, Zhixing, there has been progress.”

“What progress?” Gu Kai immediately looked up at Mo Xiuchen, and Lu Zhiyan’s eyes also brightened, watching Mo Xiuchen closely.

Mo Xiuchen’s lips curved into a smile, “Ah Kai, Dad continued your experiment from last night and has already found the cause. He’s now rushing to the People’s Hospital to save those two patients, concerning everything else, it just needs investigation.”

“Dad told you?”

Gu Kai’s face brightened with a smile, the injury in his hand seemingly not hurting at all anymore.

The all-nighter last night turned out to be meaningful, not spent in vain.

“No, it wasn’t Dad, it was Ah Jin who called. Dad told him, and then he went straight to the hospital. According to Ah Jin, Dad also thinks that this method is very much like Fu Jingyi’s.”

A glint flashed through Lu Zhiyan’s eyes, “Fu Jingyi is already dead, it can’t possibly be him, which means it’s very likely Li En. Perhaps, as Li En said, Fu Jingyi’s repentance was because he knew he had cancer and wouldn’t be around much longer.”

“You mean, Fu Jingyi’s repentance was just a pretense? His intention was to deceive us and let his disciple continue.”

Taking over Lu Zhiyan’s point, Gu Kai analyzed further, a cold intent surfacing between his brows.

Professor Li next to them slowly began to speak, “In the conversation with Bai Yiyi, Li En was very cautious, but he still gave himself away. There are three suspicious points: Firstly, when Bai Yiyi just mentioned it, he got angry, accusing her of being callous and ungrateful, which seems like he’s resentful of being wrongly accused. But in fact, it’s because he’s guilty…”

Listening to Professor Li’s words, Mo Xiuchen felt that his analysis made a lot of sense. Mo Xiuchen furrowed his brow and suddenly said, “Originally, Fu Jingyi had mentioned…”
