Chapter 61 - 61 61 Hidden Truth

61: Chapter 61: Hidden Truth 61: Chapter 61: Hidden Truth Hai Mingzhu understood a lot, but with that arose even more questions.

Li Yawei and the internet celebrity girl had known each other for a long time.

At the airport, the internet celebrity girl helped Li Yawei by distracting Hai Mingzhu.

Afterward, the celebrity and Li Yawei agreed to meet at a bar.

Since Li Yawei wasn’t familiar with the area after returning from Australia, it was the internet celebrity girl who led her into various venues…

and eventually into the rooster-head guy’s room…

“That internet celebrity girl isn’t a food delivery person, is she?” As soon as Hai Mingzhu finished speaking, she felt somewhat embarrassed for jumping to such conclusions.

Shen Yue did not seem embarrassed at all and simply shook his head.

“You either don’t know or don’t think so.” Hai Mingzhu felt that Shen Yue and Jin Xin, despite their apparent differences, shared one major thing in common – they would both play dumb despite clearly understanding the situation.

“I can’t confirm whether what you’re saying is true because there’s currently not enough evidence to support it,” Shen Yue said, frowning.

“The situation is already pretty clear to me.” Hai Mingzhu did not plan her ideas as meticulously as Shen Yue, but she assumed: “The internet celebrity girl and Li Yawei met in Australia, or perhaps on the flight.

Li Yawei is naive, and the internet celebrity girl was most likely there to deliver some food.”

Feeling embarrassed about her understanding of these things, Hai Mingzhu looked to Shen Yue for his reaction and then continued: “The internet celebrity girl then deceived Li Yawei, intending to pull her into this delivery work as well.

The exchange students in Australia tend to be more open-minded, so Li Yawei was either open herself to begin with, or she was

“What did I say first?” Hai Mingzhu tried her best to recall.

“You said they met each other in Australia or on the plane.” Shen Yue shook his head, “They definitely did not meet on the plane because they were not on the same flight.”

“How could you possibly know that?” Hai Mingzhu responded with suspicion.

“I do know.” Shen Yue calmly replied, “The tag on the internet celebrity girl’s luggage was clearly domestic.

It’s easy to see that.”

Stunned, Hai Mingzhu realized that even though she thought she had keen eyes, compared to Shen Yue, she was as blind as a bat.

As Shen Yue looked out towards the streetlight in the distance, he pondered, “If this was a mistake they unintentionally left behind, then the internet celebrity girl must have flown from somewhere within the country, taken the escalator from the domestic airport exit down to the underground level and then blended into the crowd exiting the international airport to meet up with Li Yawei.”

Hai Mingzhu knew that after going through customs, there’s a path connecting the domestic and international exits.

She admired Shen Yue’s attention to detail but she didn’t understand why he wouldn’t let go of this detail.

Shen Yue instantly revealed the answer, “The two of them meeting up like this clearly indicates that they had planned it in advance.”

“That’s true.

Regardless of how they got to know each other, they definitely had agreed to meet up.

What followed after is pretty much as I had thought.” Hai Mingzhu said excitedly.

“Indeed, your later deductions do make quite some sense.” Shen Yue reassured Hai Mingzhu, “It’s certain that they know each other and that they had agreed to meet up here… But yet, whether Li Yawei is indeed working in food delivery service is something that still needs to be verified.”

What else needs to be confirmed?

Do you feel as if you know her just because you’ve spent time with her close up?

Hai Mingzhu felt somewhat unsatisfied.

Seeing Shen Yue continuing to hold onto Li Yawei, Hai Mingzhu couldn’t help but feel there was something wrong, even though she did not want to obviously caution Shen Yue to let go of Li Yawei.

For people pretending to be asleep, you can’t wake them.

“According to the information we have, she doesn’t seem like such a good girl in Australia?” Seeing Shen Yue nod, Hai Mingzhu pointed out, “She frequents many such places and still gets easily intoxicated and taken to bed, what does that tell you?”

Before Shen Yue could reply, he suddenly let go of Li Yawei, gently leaned her against a stone bench, took a plastic bag out of his pocket, and handed it to her.

You’re very thoughtful, huh?

Just when Hai Mingzhu was about to speak, she saw Shen Yue unkindly give Li Yawei a punch in the back.

Li Yawei’s mouth opened, and she vomited into the bag.

Shen Yue, having seen this kind of scenario before, patiently sealed the bag of vomit and threw it into a nearby trash bin, then pulled out a packet of tissues to hand to her.

Li Yawei slapped away Shen Yue’s kindness, finally opening her bleary, drunken eyes.

“Who are you?

What do you want with me?”

“I’m Shen Yue.

Your mother asked us to…

bring you home.

It’s time for us to go back,” Shen Yue responded, staring at Li Yawei.

“I don’t have a home!

I don’t have a mother!”

With a wave of her hand as if to cast away these thoughts, Li Yawei clumsily stood up; “Where is that wizard?

That Taoist?

Where are they?”

“What is she talking about?” Hai Mingzhu suddenly felt like Li Yawei didn’t just have too much to drink, but maybe overdosed on pills.

Where did this wizard and Taoist come from?

“I drove them away,” Shen Yue went along with Li Yawei’s train of thought.

Li Yawei suddenly exploded with anger and stormed over, clutching Shen Yue by the collar, “How could you do that?

Why did you do that?

Are you trying to kill me?”

As her agitation increased, she suddenly swung her hand to slap Shen Yue across the face.

Shen Yue didn’t move, but Hai Mingzhu was well-prepared, catching Li Yawei’s hand in time and forcibly pushing her away.

Li Yawei, caught off guard, staggered backward and fell down on the bench once again.

“Have you calmed down yet?”

If Shen Yue hadn’t restrained her, Hai Mingzhu would’ve slapped Li Yawei, “Li Yawei, do you realize what we have been through to find you?

Do you have any idea the danger we went through trying to rescue you?

Just because you’re rich, you think you’re on top of the world?

Well, I’m telling you, the woman paying the money is the mother you refuse to acknowledge, and the home you refuse to go back to is the one constantly waiting for you!”

“You don’t know, you don’t know anything.” Li Yawei, voice lowered, buried her hands in her hair, looking truly pained.

“If I don’t understand, then tell me,” Hai Mingzhu initially blurted it out in a fit of rage, but now thought it might be a good strategy.

Shen Yue did not interrupt.

Li Yawei murmured, “The ghost…

the ghost is coming, so many ghosts are coming, I’m going to die!” She abruptly looked up at Shen Yue and Hai Mingzhu.

Hai Mingzhu was initially startled by the sight of Li Yawei, her makeup ruined by alcohol and vomit, resembling a specter.

But even more than that, she was stunned to see genuine terror in Li Yawei’s eyes.

Suddenly standing up, Li Yawei screamed hysterically, “Come and kill me!

I’m not afraid of you!”

While Hai Mingzhu backed away, Shen Yue stepped forward as Li Yawei’s screaming stopped and her body slumped down.
