Chapter 601: Chapter 604: Being a Good Person Has Its Rewards
“”I will help you too,” Yue Yaer smiled at her charmingly, “During these years, I’ve been roaming from place to place, I haven’t made many friends, from now on, you will become my best friend, and if you ever need any help, I will definitely help you!”
“Okay!” Ye Xingbei laughed and nodded, “It’s a promise!”
Watching Yue Yaer turn to leave, Ye Xingbei thought to herself that she must have caught some of Yian Jingxue’s bad habits after spending too much time with her, turning her into a Yian-dog.
Seeing the beautiful Yue Yaer, she couldn’t help but want to be friends with her. It was despairing to live in a world where people value appearances… Fortunately, she was in no position to complain about her own looks, otherwise it would have been even more hopeless!
A moment after Yue Yaer left, Gu Junzhu entered the room.
Ye Xingbei immediately beckoned him over: “Come quickly!”
Gu Junzhu walked over with a smile, sat down next to her and lent forward to give her cheek a kiss: “Darling, don’t use those two words when you’re in bed, it makes you seem so impetuous.”
Ye Xingbei: “… Please delete those indecent thoughts from your mind, I have serious matters to discuss with you!”
Gu Junzhu chuckled, rubbing the back of her head: “Where are Xiao Yue and Xiao Shumiao?”
“Yaer had something to say to me, I let Snowfoil and Rain Snow take them out to play,” Ye Xingbei clung to Gu Junzhu’s clothes, asking anxiously: “Just before you went downstairs, you mentioned that you had found clues regarding my parents’ murder, what clues are they?”
This was a serious matter, Gu Junzhu didn’t joke and said solemnly: “The driver who usually drove your parents fell ill and took leave on the day of their car accident. Their bodyguard drove them instead, and that driver left the country soon after your parents’ incident, he has been missing since then. Now, my men have found traces of him, and are trying to get in touch, hoping to find out more from him.”
“I see,” Ye Xingbei murmured: “My parents’ car accident, the driver taking leave due to an illness, might not be a coincidence. It’s possible that Jiang Zhengxing bribed my parents’ driver to tamper with the brakes in the car. Knowing that the brakes would fail, the driver feigned illness to avoid the accident, and with Jiang Zhengxing’s help, the driver left the country after my parents’ death was declared accidental.”
Gu Junzhu nodded: “This is what I suspect, but we need to wait until my men make contact with that driver before drawing conclusions. Your suspicion is highly likely, but we can’t rule out the chance that it was indeed a coincidence. We need to keep calm, make sure no criminal escapes, but also not to falsely accuse anyone.”
“I understand,” Ye Xingbei took a deep breath, her spirits rallied as she chuckled, “Of course we can’t just take revenge on anyone. What if it was truly a coincidence? What if that driver was deeply loyal to my parents, and moved after their deaths because the sight of Jiang City brought back painful memories? Anything is possible, we should let the evidence do the talking, right?”
“Smart girl!” Gu Junzhu mussed her hair, “Good deeds get rewarded! A great man once said, ‘I have been a staunch materialist all my life, only when it comes to you, do I wish for an afterlife.’ We should both strive to be good in this life and build up good karma for the next life to find each other again.”
Ye Xingbei chuckled at his comment, feeling sweetness flooding her heart.
She looked up into his eyes, feeling that his eyes contained thousands of stars, so tender and so bright.
