Chapter 2428 – Betrayal
The girl called Gu Yang looked gentle and soft, with the beauty of a woman from Jiangnan.
Xu Wei was a little embarrassed. She did not expect that her best friend’s daughter from more than ten years ago would come here.
Her best friend did not listen to her advice and married a man from another province with a poor family background.
After giving birth to her daughter, he had brought her here as a guest.
But later, her best friend divorced and left the country with her daughter.
They had not contacted each other for so many years.
When she saw her best friend’s daughter, Xu Wei did not recognize her for a while. She only remembered it when she said her name.
The little squishy girl back then had already grown up.
She was as pretty as her mother.
“Auntie Wei, I don’t know where you live now. I only remember coming here with Mom when I was young. I hope you don’t mind me taking the liberty to visit.”
“I don’t mind.”
Xu Wei glanced at Gu Yang and then at Ye Tian.
“Little Princess, this is my former best friend’s daughter, Wu Xiangxiang. Xiangxiang, this is Gu Yang’s classmate, Ye Tian.”
Wu Xiangxiang greeted Ye Tian with a gentle smile.
Ye Tian also smiled and nodded.
“Brother Gu Yang, you… don’t recognize me?” After greeting Ye Tian, Wu Xiangxiang looked at Gu Yang who was walking over.
Gu Yang’s gaze did not stay on her for a second, only on Ye Tian, who was beside her.
Gu Yang’s cold face was expressionless. “No.”
Disappointment appeared in Wu Xiangxiang’s eyes, but she immediately smiled. “That’s true. It’s been so many years. It’s normal for Brother Gu Yang to not remember me.”
“But I still remember Brother Gu Yang. We even took a bath together when we were young!”
Xu Wei coughed and quickly added, “They were still young then. They were more than a year old and were washing their clothes.”
Xu Wei looked at Ye Tian, afraid that she would misunderstand Gu Yang.
Ye Tian smiled, looking like she did not care.
Gu Yang sat opposite Ye Tian. Seeing her looking down at her phone, he asked softly, “Are you reading a comic?”
Ye Tian ignored him.
The atmosphere in the living room was slightly awkward.
Fortunately, the food was ready not long after.
Wu Xiangxiang went to the kitchen to help serve the dishes.
Auntie Wang, who was helping to cook, left the villa after cooking because she had something on at home.
Ye Tian looked at Wu Xiangxiang, who had placed the dishes on the dining table and went into the kitchen to get a bowl of soup. She felt that something was wrong.
She had not seen him for more than ten years. Wasn’t he a little too enthusiastic?
Ye Tian followed him to the kitchen quietly.
After Wu Xiangxiang went to the kitchen, she took out a soup bowl and turned to look at the door.
Ye Tian immediately retracted her head and hid herself.
Seeing that no one was around, Wu Xiangxiang took out a small bottle from her pocket.
She poured the liquid in the bottle into one of the bowls.
Ye Tian noticed that she had made a small mark on the bowl.
Wu Xiangxiang turned around and was about to walk out when she saw Ye Tian standing at the door, staring at her coldly.
Wu Xiangxiang’s pupils constricted in fear.
The bowl in her hand almost fell to the ground.
“What did you pour into the bowl?” Ye Tian approached Wu Xiangxiang, an unprecedented coldness and seriousness on her beautiful face.
Wu Xiangxiang was so scared her face turned pale. “N-Nothing.”
Ye Tian took out her phone and clicked on a video. “I’ve recorded everything you just did. You’d better tell me the truth, or else…”
Ye Tian narrowed her eyes, her expression full of warning.
Wu Xiangxiang’s lips trembled. “No, it’s not medicine that hurts people’s bodies.”
“Who do you plan to let drink it?”
“Brother Gu Yang.”
“Did someone instruct you to do this?”
Wu Xiangxiang lowered her head, her eyelashes fluttering nonstop.
Ye Tian walked in front of Wu Xiangxiang and took out the small bottle from her pocket. “I’ll ask you again. Who instructed you?”
Wu Xiangxiang was so frightened that her tears fell. She sniffed and said with a trembling voice, “I-It’s a man. I have a photo of him. He threatened me to do this. He asked me to take a photo of Brother Gu Yang and exchange it for mine.”
Ye Tian pursed her pink lips into a straight line.
A man asked Wu Xiangxiang to do this? Could it be Fu Yunze?
That was not right. Fu Yunze could not even protect himself now. How could he deal with Gu Yang?
“Little Princess, I was forced. I came to the capital to find work. I was cheated of my money and even borrowed money from loan sharks. In order to pay my debts, I went to be a model. In the end, I was photographed like that. Once it’s exposed, my life will be ruined!”
Ye Tian looked at the sobbing Wu Xiangxiang and took the soup bowl again. “Go and eat first. I’ll think of a way for you after you’re done.”
Wu Xiangxiang nodded.
“Don’t let Gu Yang know about this.”
“I’ll listen to you.”
….
After dinner, Ye Tian added Wu Xiangxiang on WeChat and left.
Gu Yang wanted to send Ye Tian off, but she rejected her.
When they arrived at the city, Ye Tian invited Wu Xiangxiang to a hidden place.
She gave her an idea and left after giving her some instructions.
Wu Xiangxiang did as Ye Tian instructed and contacted the man who had threatened her.
“I’ve already taken what you wanted, but I want to give it to you in person. Also, bring me my photos and negatives and give them to me.”
The man agreed to meet Wu Xiangxiang.
Wu Xiangxiang immediately told Ye Tian the address.
The next evening, Wu Xiangxiang arrived at the agreed place, an alley that was ready to be demolished.
The alley was silent and empty.
Wu Xiangxiang walked in uneasily.
The man was wearing a mask and baseball cap, standing at the end of the alley. Seeing Wu Xiangxiang walking over, the man reached out his hand to her. “Let me see the photo first.”
Wu Xiangxiang handed the man the photo.
The man looked down at the photo and realized that it was not what he wanted. He looked up at Wu Xiangxiang fiercely and was about to say something when he suddenly blacked out.
A sack fell from his head.
Before the man could react, he was punched unconscious.
Although the man had several photos of Wu Xiangxiang, he did not bring any negatives.
Wu Xiangxiang was terrified. She looked at Ye Tian in panic. “What if the negatives are released?”
Ye Tian glanced at the man who was tied up and shot a look at the secret guard. “Find out his identity as soon as possible and see who he’s working for!”
The secret guard’s speed was amazing and soon found out that this person worked in the Yu family.
Ye Tian already had an answer in her heart. It seemed like the person who had done this was Yu Wanting.
Since Yu Wanting was up to no good, Ye Tian naturally had to accompany her to the end. He would deal with her once and for all to prevent any trouble in the future!
Ye Tian interrogated that person. That person was stubborn and refused to say anything no matter what she asked.
The secret guard wanted to torture them, but Ye Tian shook her head. “He’s loyal to Wanting. Even if he’s beaten to death, he won’t betray them. However, if his beliefs are shaken, he will say everything.”
