Chapter 34: Walked Straight Into The Trap
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
When Ye Lanchen arrived at the airport, Chu Wuyou had passed the security checkpoint and was waiting in the departure lounge. It was quiet, very quiet. It was so quiet that she seemed to be the only one left in this world.
Her gaze was innocent; she appeared to be thinking of nothing at all. To be precise, she was staring ahead blankly.
It was Elder Chu who brought her here personally. Elder Chu stood beside her and whispered something to her, but she seemed not to hear anything. There was no reaction from her; she was just sitting there in a daze.
“Poor First Young Lady Chu. Yesterday’s incident must have taken a toll on her.” Secretary Liu became emotional when he saw this sight.
Ye Lanchen’s eyes flashed as he looked on thoughtfully.
“Find out which hospital in Country M will she be headed to.” Instead of advancing, Ye Lanchen gave a call to The Fly.
If she wanted to leave Jin City, he would let her do so. In Jin City, she would disguise herself for various reasons. If she was in Country M, the situation would be different, and it would be easier to locate her by then.
He would let it slide if she was indeed ill. If not, the plot thickened.
Ye Lanchen decided not to hang around and left immediately. He was sure that if the woman was faking it, she would not give herself away right now. Thus, there was no point for him to waste his time here.
Once Ye Lanchen left, Chu Wuyou let out a quiet sigh of relief. Although she avoided looking at his direction all along, she was still aware of his appearance.
As a result, she kept pretending and avoided giving herself away. She believed that he did not notice suspicious signs. Otherwise, he would not have left so quickly.
After all, she was quite good at pretending and wearing disguises, particularly on her face.
Ever since Chu Wuyou was a child, her mother had purposefully made her look ugly through disguise. Like her mother, she was pretty as a child. Her mother said that if a girl was too pretty, she would end up getting hurt.
What happened back then traumatized her mother. She did not want her daughter to go through something similar…
Growing up, Chu Wuyou had always disguised herself this way, and this did not change when she returned to the Chu family. Thus, all members of the Chu family had no idea she was faking it.
She knew that the man was capable of locating last night’s taxi driver. Therefore, she removed her disguise when she got into the car so that the driver could see her true face.
Her sole objective was to confuse his judgment.
One day later.
“Found it. It’s Nursing Home R and the specialist is Mr. Stead, an expert from Country M.” The Fly was highly efficient. Chu Wuyou had just arrived in Country M and The Fly had already gotten hold of the latest news.
Suddenly, Ye Lanchen smiled. “Excellent, I’ll contact Stead.”
He knew Stead well. It was a small world, indeed.
If that was really her, she still walked straight into the trap after trying to evade it!
She was skilled at pretending to be stupid and might be able to fool everyone around her, but she could never fool a psychiatric expert.
