Chapter 434: Making Things Clear(2)

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Xie Shi’an felt as if he had been struck by lightning after hearing this. He couldn’t speak for a long time.

Although he had long suspected Ruan Xiaodie, how could she call Zhen Chongming?

She had lived abroad for a long time and had only returned to the capital for a short while. She probably did not even know who Zhen Chongming was. So how could she be involved with this person?

However, Shen Hanyu gave a string of numbers. “The number that called Zhen Chongming was originally hidden, but it has been traced. Do you recognize this number?”

How could Xie Shi’an not recognize him?

The string of numbers belonged to Ruan Xiaodie.

He still remembered the last time he saw her aunt who had accompanied her for many years when he went abroad to pick her up.

Her aunt held her breath and told Xie Shi’an many details about taking care of Ruan Xiaodie.

One of them was the bracelet on her wrist.

“Don’t take this off.”

Aunt Ruan said, “All Cheng spent a lot of money to find a company to customize this for her. With this, he won’t have to worry about her getting lost or being kidnapped by bad people.”

It was then that Xie Shi’an found out that the bracelet on her hand wasn’t an ordinary one. It was a custom-made high-tech bracelet launched by a technology company. It had more functions than a smartphone and had all kinds of unimaginable needs.

However, considering Ruan Xiaodie’s intelligence at that time, her bracelet was not that complicated. However, it still had basic functions such as positioning, alarm, call, video, and so on. Ruan Xiaodie also occasionally used this to call

Xie Shi’an.

Shen Hanyu seemed to have an urgent matter to attend to, so he said, “If you can get Zhen Zhu’s whereabouts from Ruan Xiaodie, the Zhen family might not hand her over to the police. But if 1 find out, it will be too late.”

“I believe you know how to ask. Otherwise, if something happens to Zhen Zhu, even the Xie family won’t be able to protect her.”

Shen Hanyu soon hung up the phone.

Xie Shi’an’s anger was indescribable, and he couldn’t accept that Ruan Xiaodie would secretly collude with Zhen Chongming.

To think that she could think of letting Zhen Chongming kidnap Zhen Zhu to force Zhen Yiping to resign!

He suppressed his anger and rushed back to the Xie family. The first thing he did was to drag Ruan Xiaodie from the swing and drag her into the study. Then, he forcefully took off the bracelet from her wrist.

At first, Ruan Xiaodie was still very helpless and panicked, crying uncontrollably.

Unfortunately, Xie Shi’an was unmoved. He took out the picture books from the bookcase and threw them in front of her.

“Stop pretending. You’ve already returned to normal long ago, haven’t you?”

Xie Shi’an laughed coldly. “I’ve underestimated you. You’re really capable. When Shen Hanyu and Sang Qianqian first arrived at the Zhen family, you were the one behind the fire at the hospital, Cui Yi’s death, Xu Meixi’s family kidnapping, and Zhen Zhu’s kidnapping, weren’t you? Just what are you trying to do?”

Ruan Xiaodie’s tears slowly stopped flowing and she just looked at him quietly.

If she had explained that she had not done those things, perhaps Xie Shi’an would’ve felt better. He might even believe that she had been wronged.

However, her silence at this moment was simply a tacit agreement.

“Where is Zhen Zhu locked up?”

Xie Shi’an was furious. “If you don’t tell me today, don’t even think about walking out of here. If you’re willing to continue wasting time like this, 1’11 accompany you! I want to see what else you can do!”

Ruan Xiaodie frowned but didn’t say anything.

Xie Shi’an was also ruthless. He didn’t open the door and didn’t let her out. Even when Ruan Xiaoshuang knocked on the door to deliver dinner, he didn’t let her in.

This continued until Sang Qianqian arrived.

“You can’t lock her up like this. If she won’t say anything, would you really be able to stop her from stepping out of this door?”

Sang Qianqian sighed. “I’ll go talk to her.”

In the study, behind an elegant Chinese-style red sandalwood carved screen was a resting room by the window.

The window was open, and the branches and leaves of the Osmanthus tree outside swayed in the wind. The pleasant fragrance of the golden petals was like a silent wave, rippling in layers, refreshing the heart.

Ruan Xiaodie sat quietly in front of the window, her chin resting on her cheek as she looked at the blooming tree in a daze.

In front of her desk, there were a few picture albums scattered messily. Those picture albums were clearly her ‘works’ that Xie Shi’an had brought back from abroad.

When Sang Qianqian and Xie Shi’an walked in, Ruan Xiaodie looked back. Her eyes were indifferent and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, as if nothing had happened. “Sister Qianqian.”

Sang Qianqian could no longer treat Ruan Xiaodie as a child.

The smile on this seemingly innocent and beautiful face actually made her feel a chill enough to make her hair stand on end. It was just like many years ago when she and her brother almost stepped on a five-paced viper and screamed out of fear.

However, Sang Qianqian only smiled slightly. “What happened today? Xiaodie, what did you do to make Shi’an angry?”

Ruan Xiaodie blinked, still looking innocent. “You have to ask Brother Shi’an about this.”

Xie Shi’an’s handsome face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

He really didn’t know how Ruan Xiaodie could still pretend to be so harmless and innocent at this point.

“You lied to Qianqian for so long. Aren’t you embarrassed?”

He couldn’t help but say angrily, “She worked so hard for your illness for so long. Even now, you can still pretend!”

Ruan Xiaodie looked as if she had been unjustly blamed. “Sister Qianqian, look at Brother Shi’an. He’s so mean toward me.”

She looked at Sang Qianqian and smiled again. “Sister Qianqian is the best. I lied to Big Sister, but Sister isn’t angry.”

Xie Shi’an couldn’t take it anymore. Just as he was about to speak, Sang Qianqian shook her head at him.

She walked to Ruan Xiaodie and sat down opposite her.

“I’ve seen Shao Jin a few times. He was about the same height as Shi’an and was also handsome.”

Sang Qianqian glanced at the picture album and said slowly, “If he had stayed overseas, his future would’ve been great. Unfortunately, on the night he helped Ruan Cheng escape, he was shot to death before he could even leave a last word.”

Ruan Xiaodie’s smile froze. The innocent expression on her face suddenly disappeared, and her eyes turned cold.

Sang Qianqian continued calmly, “I heard that when he was sixteen, Ruan Cheng sent him overseas to protect you. Come to think of it, he had accompanied you for a full ten years. You must be very sad that he’s dead, right?”

Ruan Xiaodie looked at her coldly and didn’t speak.

“I can understand if you wanted to do something for him and the Ruan family after returning to the capital.”

Sang Qianqian said calmly, “However, the Zhen family has nothing to do with this matter, and Zhen Zhu has nothing to do with this matter either. If you were a smart person, you wouldn’t have implicated them in any of this..”
