Chapter 642: Chapter 645 Fifth Master is Jealous of Everything
An hour later, Yu Xingchen finished his work and returned to Gu Junzhu and Ye Xingli, “It’s all clear now. The woman’s name is Gan Xintong, a college student who happened to meet Ye Weikang in a bar. She thought she had snagged a wealthy, unmarried man and happily followed Ye Weikang here where she ended up under house arrest. I pulled her info from the internet. Originally, she bore only a slight resemblance to Beibei, but she has been in captivity under Ye Weikang for over three years. During this time, Ye Weikang has undergone over a dozen plastic surgeries to make her resemble Beibei more closely.”
Ye Xingli frowned, “How did Ye Weikang manage that? Didn’t she try to escape during the surgeries?”
Yu Xingchen shrugged, “We can’t fully trust her word. Based on Ye Weikang’s confession, I suspect it started as a transaction between the two of them. Ye Weikang paid her to be his girlfriend, and she got surgery to look like Beibei at his request.”
“Later on, the two of them probably fell out, or perhaps Ye Weikang ran out of money, the woman got too greedy… various situations led to Ye Weikang ultimately locking her in the basement.”
Yu Xingchen pointed back at Ye Weikang and Gan Xintong, “Both of them are dishonest, each saying what is only beneficial to themselves. So, we can only trust about a third of what they say. The rest has to be verified through our own investigation.”
Yu Xingchen tapped Ye Xingli’s shoulder with the notepad in his hand, “Remember, never trust a criminal’s mouth. Trust the objective evidence!”
“Scram!” Ye Xingli rolled his eyes, “I’m not a cop. Why would I remember that?”
“You lack the desire to learn and improve. It seems like you’re content to be a noble layabout all your life!” Yu Xingchen shook his head and looked at Ye Xingli with a disappointed expression. He turned to Ye Xingbei, “Xingbei, do you need anything else? If not, I’ll take them away.”
Ye Xingbei shook her head, “No, nothing else. Brother Xingchen, thanks for your help.”
Yu Xingchen waved his hand, “It’s my duty.”
He patted Ye Xingli’s shoulder, “Xiao Li, is there anything else you need to explain?”
His manner and tone were as if he was asking Ye Xingli if he had any last words.
Ye Xingli kicked at him sharply, “Get lost! Just remember this, if a word of this gets out, I’ll kill your entire family!”
Yu Xingchen shook his head, “Publicly threatening a public official. This really is…”
“Boss!” Wen An interrupted him expressionlessly, “We’ve finished prepping. We can leave now.”
Yu Xingchen nodded, smiling at Ye Xingbei, “Beibei, don’t worry. We will handle the confidentiality of this matter perfectly. No rumors will leak out, and I will notify you of any new developments.”
“Okay,” Ye Xingbei obediently nodded, “Thank you, Brother Xingchen.”
Yu Xingchen nodded to Gu Junzhu then left with his two subordinates, Ye Weikang and Gan Xintong.
Watching as Yu Xingchen and the others drove away, Ye Xingbei sighed and said to Ye Xingli, “Brother Li, I’m a bit tired. I’m going home. If anything comes up, just contact us.”
“Okay, don’t worry. Trust Brother Li. I will handle everything, I won’t let you get hurt.” Ye Xingli reached out to muss Ye Xingbei’s hair, but Gu Junzhu grabbed Ye Xingbei’s wrist and pulled it to his chest, so Ye Xingli grabbed at thin air.”
His face twitched in irritation, “Fifth Brother, you’re getting way out of line! Beibei is my sister, what’s wrong with patting her head to comfort her? She needs love, yes, but also family. A life without familial love is incomplete!”
