Chapter 8: Easily Unveiling the Truth

“Who are you calling stupid?”

Mocked by Ye Huan for having a low IQ, Li Meiya instantly lost her temper, transforming into a shrew and shouting furiously.

To be looked down upon as dim-witted by a butcher was nothing short of a disgrace.

“Don’t be angry, don’t be angry!” Lin Canglan quickly tried to soothe Li Meiya, saying:

“He’s just frustrated because we’ve seen through his intentions and he’s at a loss. In desperation and shame, all he can do is lash out at us to vent.”

He acted as if he had completely unraveled Ye Huan’s mind and was not at all upset by the insult to his intelligence.

“So that’s how it is!”

Li Meiya suddenly understood, her rage gradually subsiding as she sneered coldly:

“Ye Huan, don’t bother wasting your efforts. Even if you use all your eight hundred tricks, there’s no escaping the beating you’re about to get today!”

Her words were a signal to Jin Feiyu that he could order his men to deal with Ye Huan.

Jin Feiyu had long been itching to act. He realized Ye Huan was no ordinary person. Even if Ye Huan’s claims were mere speculation, he could not let him continue speaking, lest Lin Tai and Lin Xi grow suspicious.

However, just as he was about to give the order, Lin Tai scolded sharply: “Ye Huan, you can’t speak nonsense. Everyone knows Feiyu cares for Xi Xi deeply; he would never send people to kidnap her. Do you have any proof for your accusations? If you don’t, then you’re deliberately trying to frame him and sow discord between Feiyu and the Lin family.”

Ye Huan almost laughed aloud, thinking that Lin Tai was indeed sharp. On the surface, he was chastising Ye Huan for slandering Jin Feiyu, but in reality, he was demanding evidence.

“Ye Huan, I didn’t expect you to be such a person. I know Jin Feiyu’s character well. For you to accuse him like this, I’m giving you a chance to produce proof. If you can’t, this afternoon I’ll go with you to the civil affairs bureau to file for divorce.”

Lin Xi was even more ruthless. She sensed Jin Feiyu’s urgent desire to act.

So, she praised Jin Feiyu’s character on the surface, condemned Ye Huan for framing him, and questioned Ye Huan’s integrity.

Then, by threatening divorce, she coerced Ye Huan into producing evidence of Jin Feiyu’s involvement in the kidnapping, enticing her parents to demand proof as well. This would force Jin Feiyu to listen to Ye Huan’s evidence before making any move!

Sure enough!

Lin Canglan and Li Meiya fell for it!

---

“Yes, do you have any proof that Jin Feiyu sent people to kidnap Xi Xi? If not, you’re just slandering him and trying to drive a wedge between the Lin family and Jin Feiyu!” Li Meiya shouted.

“Mr. Jin, let Ye Huan finish speaking before you act. If he can’t produce evidence, you won’t have to lift a finger—I’ll personally shut him up.”

Lin Canglan said firmly to Jin Feiyu.

He stood resolutely on Jin Feiyu’s side, refusing to believe Ye Huan had any proof.

Ye Huan glanced at Lin Xi in surprise again, thinking, this girl is truly impressive—she casually dug a pit, and Lin Canglan and Li Meiya fell right into it!

“Kid, speak up. If you can’t provide proof, I’ll make sure you don’t see today’s sunset!”

Pressed by Lin Tai, Lin Xi, Lin Canglan, and Li Meiya, Jin Feiyu dared not give the order to deal with Ye Huan immediately. If he didn’t let Ye Huan finish, it might arouse suspicion within the Lin family!

But he was confident Ye Huan would never produce any proof.

“I think things went like this.”

Ye Huan pulled out a pack of cigarettes, lit one, took a drag, and said:

“Jin Feiyu sent twelve thugs with knives, driving four cars, to follow Lin Xi to the airport and find an opportunity to kidnap her;”

“Then, on the road when Lin Xi and I were leaving the airport, the four cars surrounded and forced her car to stop. I imagine at that moment, someone among the twelve thugs called or messaged Jin Feiyu, letting him know the kidnapping was about to succeed;”

“I suppose Jin Feiyu was extremely excited then, even imagining various ways to torment Lin Xi...”

Hearing this, Lin Xi sharply pinched the inside of Ye Huan’s arm.

Ye Huan gasped in pain but went on:

“However, Jin Feiyu waited and waited but didn’t receive news from the twelve thugs or Lin Xi, so he called or messaged them but couldn’t get through;”

“So Jin Feiyu immediately checked a tracker that he had secretly installed on Lin Xi’s car long ago and found it parked at the Shangyang Restaurant’s parking lot;”

“This made Jin Feiyu suspect that Lin Xi had not been kidnapped and that the twelve thugs had fallen into the hands of her bodyguards;”

“To prevent the twelve thugs from confessing who ordered the kidnapping, Jin Feiyu hurried over to Shangyang Restaurant but only saw Lin Xi’s car, not her bodyguards’ vehicles;”

“To confirm whether the twelve thugs had indeed been caught by Lin Xi’s bodyguards, Jin Feiyu asked the waiter and, using a chance encounter as an excuse, entered this private room;”

Ye Huan stubbed out his cigarette and continued:

---

“When Jin Feiyu first entered the room, the first person his eyes landed on was Lin Xi. His pupils contracted sharply, which shows he was shocked and finally confirmed that the twelve thugs had failed to kidnap Lin Xi and had been captured by her bodyguards...”

Hearing this, Jin Feiyu maintained a calm exterior but inside was thrown into turmoil.

What Ye Huan described was almost exactly the truth!

“Jin Feiyu feared that under interrogation by Lin Xi’s bodyguards, the twelve thugs might confess that he was the mastermind;”

Ye Huan stared expressionlessly at Jin Feiyu’s face and eyes, then continued:

“So before coming here, Jin Feiyu had fully prepared. He arranged with his men that breaking a glass would be the signal—once it was confirmed that the twelve thugs were in Lin Xi’s hands and had confessed he was the mastermind, he would smash the glass immediately, prompting his men waiting outside to swarm in;”

“At that time, Jin Feiyu would use despicable means to force Lin Xi to order her bodyguards to release the twelve thugs, fearing they had already confessed. I suspect he would threaten Lin Lao, Lin Canglan, and Li Meiya’s lives, coercing Lin Xi into sleeping with him, then taking photos or videos. This way, even if the twelve thugs confessed, Lin Xi wouldn’t dare hand over the evidence to the police.”

Upon hearing this, Jin Feiyu finally lost control of his emotions, staring at Ye Huan in shock.

He could hardly believe how Ye Huan knew all this. Was Ye Huan some kind of parasite inside him?

Lin Tai and Lin Xi noticed Jin Feiyu’s expression and thought, indeed, it was Jin Feiyu. They were both shocked that Ye Huan had uncovered the real mastermind behind Lin Xi’s kidnapping based solely on deduction.

However, Lin Xi had a lingering question in her heart: Ye Huan said there were twelve thugs, so why could Jin Feiyu no longer contact them?

Oh!

She remembered!

She had called the police, and after she and Ye Huan left, the police arrived and arrested the twelve thugs!

What Lin Xi did not know was that after she and Ye Huan left, the twelve thugs, crying and begging, implored ‘Hong Luan’ to take them away—and they confessed right in the car!

“Finished?” Li Meiya asked.

“Finished!” Ye Huan nodded.

“Your story is very vivid, but it’s just your speculation and deduction. It cannot serve as evidence!” Li Meiya said.

“Exactly, what proof do you have that any of this is true?” Lin Canglan asked.
