Chapter 558: Clarification

When Chu Yue returned to the Lin family, she did not enter. Instead, she took advantage of the fact that there was no one around to sneak into the Lin family’s garage.

She had been in the Lin family for many years and knew that the butler here had a habit of wandering around the courtyard alone for a period of time after dinner every day. He would not come here to patrol.

Calculating the time, this was the time for the butler to slack off.

Chu Yue sneaked into the garage with relief. With her recollection, she quickly found the car Lin Yue drove that night.

She had undergone many missions for her teacher, so the simple lock on the car door was naturally not a problem for her.

With a soft click, the car door slowly opened. The rich fragrance of the car assaulted her face, but if she smelled it carefully, it was not difficult for Chu Yue to smell the lingering smell of blood.

Chu Yue’s hands had been stained with a lot of blood. Some of it belonged to her, and some belonged to others, so she was especially familiar with this smell.

After confirming that she did not smell wrong, her frown deepened.

Chu Yue first checked the storage space beside the driver’s seat. She did not find anything suspicious, but her upper body was stuck in the car, and the smell of blood became stronger.

She followed the smell and quickly turned to the backseat. At a glance, she saw the blood that had accidentally dripped from under the car seat. In a flash, Shi Man’s words suddenly appeared in front of her.

She got out of the car in a daze. Before she could recover from her shock, Chu Yue turned around and met Lin Yue’s dark eyes.

“What are you doing here?” Lin Yue’s face was abnormally cold, and completely different from her usual gentle demeanor.

Anger instantly rose in Chu Yue’s heart, and her expression became even more mocking. “Miss Lin, I want to ask you, why did you come back so late the night before yesterday?”

Lin Yue looked at her bloodstained fingertips and was silent for a moment. Her expression suddenly darkened. “Do you know everything? Who told you?”

The suspicion in her heart was suddenly confirmed, and the anger in Chu Yue’s heart increased. “Were you really lying to me? You went to kill Shi He that day, right? Why didn’t you tell me that Wen Xiu was injured to save Shi He that day?”

Lin Yue looked at her angry face expressionlessly and turned to leave without saying a word.

“Stop!” Chu Yue took a step forward angrily and stopped her.

Lin Yue turned her body slightly and said coldly, “This is not the place to talk. Follow me.”

Then she turned and walked in the direction of the garage door.

Chu Yue followed her skeptically.

She was skilled and was naturally not afraid of Lin Yue playing tricks on her. However, she was still a little vigilant in her heart. After all, this was Lin Yue’s territory. If Lin Yue really did something, she might not be able to escape unscathed.

Lin Yue did not care what she was thinking. She brought her back to her room. After closing the door, Lin Yue’s tense shoulders suddenly relaxed.

She suddenly reached out and pulled Chu Yue to sit in front of her computer desk. She pointed at the document on the screen and said, “Whether you believe it or not, something has happened in the company these past two days. I just opened this document to take a closer look. When I sent it to you previously, I really didn’t open it.”

Chu Yue looked at the last time the document was opened. The scales in her heart tilted towards her again.

But Chu Yue had already made up her mind. This time, she had to know the entire truth, so she did not show relax her look of anger. “What does this mean? You just opened this document once, but we don’t know if you opened it before.”

Lin Yue sighed helplessly and placed her hands on her shoulders intimately.

She smiled bitterly and said, “We’ve been friends for so many years. What’s the benefit of me harming you? Moreover, your teacher is my granduncle. The two of us can be considered family.”

These words touched the softest spot in Chu Yue’s heart.

How could she not treat Lin Yue as her biological sister? That was why she was so angry when she heard Shi Man’s words.

She held Lin Yue’s hand and asked anxiously, “So you really went to kill Shi He that day? Why?”

“I didn’t want to kill him.” Lin Yue bit her lower lip and lowered her eyes in embarrassment. “I just wanted to teach them a lesson and let Shi Man remember that she still has a brother lying on the hospital bed who can be killed at will. That way, they won’t be at ease leaving G City so quickly. Even if it can only delay for a while, there will always be another way.”

Lin Yue’s thoughts coincided with Chu Yue’s.

Chu Yue completely believed Lin Yue’s words now. When she thought of what Shi Man had said, the anger in her heart intensified. “That damn woman made me lose face in front of so many people. I won’t let her off this time!”

Lin Yue sighed and patted her shoulder guiltily. “I’m sorry. Actually, it’s my fault for being negligent. If I had opened the document and looked at it before sending it to you, what happened today wouldn’t have happened..”
