Chapter 1223 You're having an affair with her?
Lu Shuyi was slammed to the ground, his head buzzing as if countless bees were frantically buzzing inside. He felt as if all the strength had vanished from his body in an instant, leaving him limp and broken. He instinctively tried to struggle to his feet, but his limbs seemed to have no will of their own; no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't lift himself off the ground.
He tried to get up by bracing himself with his hands, but each effort was in vain. He would lift his body a little and then collapse heavily back down.
Ye Changqing gripped the broken chair back tightly in his hand, his eyes as cold as frost, his voice seemingly squeezed out from between his teeth: "Don't waste your energy trying to get up. What's the point even if you do get up? Everyone falls down sooner or later, especially someone like you."
Upon hearing the word "death," Lü Shuyi's eyes widened in terror. Like a drowning man grasping at a straw, he flailed his arms wildly in the air, screaming hoarsely, "No, don't kill me... I really had no choice. Someone threatened me! If I didn't listen to her, my... my whole family would suffer! I was truly forced into this situation, I had no other way out! If you want to find the culprit, you should go find her! Really, I'm just a scapegoat!"
The culprit? Ye Changqing narrowed his eyes slightly, slowly lowering the hand that was holding half of the chair back: "Fine, I'll give you a chance. Take me to the person you mentioned now."
Upon hearing this, Lü Shuyi shook his head vigorously, "I...I dare not...Her...her power is too great...If I take you there, I'm sure I won't survive. I...I'll give you the address, you go find her yourself. Otherwise, I'll really die a very, very terrible death."
Ye Changqing's eyes suddenly turned as cold as an ice cellar, his tone filled with murderous intent: "Since you're so ungrateful, then go die! Don't waste my time here!" As he spoke, he raised the half of the chair back in his hand high, as if to smash it down again.
Seeing this, Lü Shuyi turned deathly pale and hurriedly shouted, "I'll take you to her, I'll take you right now, please don't hurt her, I beg you!"
Ye Changqing snorted coldly, his eyes full of disdain: "Then hurry up! Don't dawdle, or you'll waste time, and you know the consequences."
Lu Shuyi clutched his still-bleeding head with one hand, his other hand trembling as he leaned against the wall. With great effort, he managed to stand up unsteadily. His body was still shaking uncontrollably, as if a gust of wind could knock him over: "My head is bleeding profusely, it hurts so much, please bandage it for me, otherwise I'm afraid I'll die on the way before we even get there."
Ye Changqing remained expressionless and said coldly, "Then hurry up! As long as you can lead us to the person as soon as possible, I will naturally make time for you to get to the hospital. But if you dare to deliberately delay and mess things up, you'll have only yourself to blame if you die."
Upon hearing this, Lü Shuyi dared not delay any longer and immediately quickened his pace. However, his steps were unsteady, each step extremely difficult, as if he were drunk and might fall to the ground at any moment.
Lu Dingqian watched from the side, secretly shaking his head. He had witnessed Ye Changqing's ruthlessness firsthand. Given Lü Shuyi's condition, if Ye Changqing had attacked him bare-handed, he wouldn't have had a single chance of survival. Ye Changqing's decision not to kill Lü Shuyi on the spot clearly had its reasons. Although he didn't know why he spared Lü Shuyi's life, there must be a reason. He just hadn't expected Lü Shuyi to be so terrified. But thinking about it carefully, it was understandable. Anyone beaten bloody and facing the constant threat of death would be terrified.
Cheng Daliang watched in horror, his eyes filled with fear and confusion as he looked at Ye Changqing. He couldn't help but wonder: Who exactly is this person? What's written in that little notebook that could terrify Lü Shuyi like this? And this guy is so ruthless! Doesn't he fear breaking the law and going to jail? At that moment, he deeply regretted not going around to the front to take a closer look at that little notebook that looked like a work ID when Ye Changqing pulled it out.
Lu Shuyi walked ahead, and as soon as he stepped out of the office, the staff in the lobby, seeing his appearance, were so shocked that they all stood up. One of the bolder ones stepped forward and asked with concern and surprise, "Boss... what happened to you?"
Lu Shuyi was in a hurry to get on his way and had no time to explain. He shouted impatiently, "Get out of the way! Get up! I have important business to attend to. Don't block my way!"
Upon seeing this, the man was so frightened that he quickly made way, watching in shock as Lü Shuyi, covered in blood, hurriedly left.
Ye Changqing followed leisurely behind, exiting the office building and entering the courtyard. The group got into the car. Ye Changqing skillfully started the engine, then floored the accelerator, and the car sped off: "You give me the navigation, I'll drive. Go faster!"
Lu Shuyi clutched his head tightly with both hands, his eyes fixed on the vanity mirror on the passenger side. Seeing the blood still flowing from his head in the mirror, he was extremely anxious, as if his heart had been thrown into a pot of boiling oil, suffering unbearable torment. He didn't reach for the navigation, but hurriedly gave an address: "Zhuyuan B&B, in the eastern suburbs, head east."
Ye Changqing drove out of the compound and sped eastward: "What's her name?"
Lu Shuyi frowned, a pained expression on his face, whether from the intense pain in his head or from trying to remember. After a long while, he said, "I don't think I really know her name. We all call her Sister Tang."
Sister Tang? Ye Changqing's face showed a hint of surprise: "Sister Tang is a woman?"
The reason he was determined to find the person who rescued Chen Ming was because Chen Ming had intricate connections with the Bee Gate.
Although he was still unclear about the specifics of their relationship, he was certain that it was anything but simple. It was definitely not just a matter of being a manager or an investor, and it was certainly not just a puppet of that old guy.
The person who rescued Chen Ming must be someone of great importance.
He hoped to start with this clue and follow the trail to find more information about the Bee Gate.
Lu Shuyi grunted and said weakly, "Yes, it's a woman. I don't really know her age. She looks to be in her thirties or forties, but I feel like she's definitely over forty. But she's pretty, the kind of pretty with a strong presence."
While driving, Ye Changqing continued to press, "She's about your age, are you having an affair with her?"
