Everyone turned to look at Sheng Yize in unison.
Panting, the assistant handed his phone to Sheng Yize. A paused video was on the screen.
Sheng Yize took it, his fingers trembling slightly. He then tapped the play button and saw An Xiaxia and Li Fanxing.
Everything had been recorded, from their conversation to when Li Fanxing cut An Xiaxia’s face with the knife.
Sheng Yize bolted to his feet and asked in a grave tone, “Where did this video come from?”
“There was a delivery for you at the company, and in it was a flash drive with this video…” explained the assistant. He then suggested, “Could it be Miss Li who took Mrs. Sheng away?”
Sheng Yize’s face turned grim. “It’s time to pay the Li family a visit!”
–
The Li family.
They entered the house, and the air reeked of alcohol. Li Jiang was a drunken heap on the floor as he mumbled, “Drink… I need a drink…”
Sheng Yize gave him a kick and asked coldly, “Where’s Li Fanxing?”
“Tch…” Li Jiang chuckled hysterically. “She’s gone! That slut… left me…”
The fire had only happened last night. Where could Li Fanxing have gone?
Sheng Yize made his instructions very clear: find Li Fanxing, even if the entire city had to be turned upside down!
The long-distance bus station.
Li Fanxing held her hand to her chest. She had only gotten surgery last night to treat the gunshot wound, and was in no shape to fly. Moreover, she didn’t want to be traced, so she had chosen to travel by bus, which didn’t require ID.
When her bus finally arrived, she hurried toward it.
A group of men wearing black suits blocked her way.
Seeing this, Li Fanxing immediately turned to run. However, she was pregnant and injured. The nimble bodyguards caught up with her almost immediately and brought her to a black Cayenne.
There was only one passenger in the vehicle.
It was Sheng Yize.
Li Fanxing’s stomach churned at his cold glance, but she managed to keep her composure. “Mr. Sheng, how may I help you?”
“Heh.” Sheng Yize smirked. “Miss Li, I see you’re doing well.”
“Thank you for your concern. I am pretty well.” Li Fanxing lowered her head and pulled the face mask she was wearing up a little higher.
That move only drew more attention to her face and the look in Sheng Yize’s eyes turned colder.
“Miss Li, may I invite you to join me for lunch?”
That caught Li Fanxing by surprise. She didn’t know what Sheng Yize was getting at.
Could it be that he didn’t know what had really happened?
At that thought, Li Fanxing felt utterly relieved. She then climbed into the car, smiling awkwardly. “If Mr. Sheng wants to dine with me, you only need to give me a phone call. You didn’t have to go through all this trouble…”
Sheng Yize smiled and moved closer, making Li Fanxing break into a cold sweat. However, Sheng Yize only chuckled and said, “Miss Li, you haven’t buckled up yet.”
“Th- thank you…” Li Fanxing sighed with relief and stole a glance at Sheng Yize.
He was as handsome as ever, and everything he did had an irresistible charm to it.
However, this remarkable man had never been hers.
Li Fanxing clenched her fists involuntarily.
The car stopped outside a Western-style restaurant and Li Fanxing saw that it was one of the most expensive restaurants in Yu City.
Why would Sheng Yize bring her here?
She was still wondering when Sheng Yize’s deep, mellow voice rang out. “I think this is where we met for the first time.”
That jogged Li Fanxing’s memory.
Back then, she had still been with Qi Yanxi, who had been nothing but affectionate toward her. He hadn’t cared how expensive the restaurant was, and had brought her here just to try the foie gras.
Li Fanxing paused. Instinct was telling her that there was definitely something behind Sheng Yize’s gentle facade!
