Chapter 32: Who Exactly Are You?

~8 min read 1,467 words

"You, who are you?" Zhang Yongan screamed in terror; he was being choked by Chen Yu to the point he couldn't catch his breath.

"What do you think?" Chen Yu suddenly smiled, his expression incomparably sinister.

"Ghost... a ghost! It wasn't me who did it, it has nothing to do with me, it was Zhou Lin, everything was done by Zhou Lin." Zhang Yongan's vision blurred, and in that instant, he hallucinated; the person before him had suddenly turned into the already deceased Chen Yu.

"It was Zhou Lin who instigated it, and you who carried it out, right?" Chen Yu's low voice seemed to come from Hell: "Then what role did Li Qingwan play in all of this?"

"Li Qingwan... Li Qingwan, she, she..." Zhang Yongan's eyes suddenly went dull, and his body began to convulse violently.

Under the pressure of Chen Yu's Mind Power, his heart and gallbladder shattered; he vomited a mouthful of yellow-green bile and collapsed to the ground, unconscious.

The sharp glint in Chen Yu's eyes gradually faded; he had intended to use his Mental Power to pressure him into telling the truth, but he hadn't expected him to be scared to death.

"Who exactly are you?" Ning Ruoxue stared blankly at Chen Yu; the moment Chen Yu's emotions erupted, she had the illusion that the person before her was the late Chen Yu.

"I'm just passing by." Chen Yu forced himself to steady his emotions; he turned to leave.

"Chen Yu." Ning Ruoxue suddenly said sharply: "What exactly is your relationship with that Chen Yu?"

"I don't know him." Chen Yu said in a deep voice.

"Then how do you know Zhou Lin? How do you know Li Qingwan? Who exactly are you? Why did you save me?" Ning Ruoxue grabbed him: "You explain it clearly to me today."

"I caught a glimpse of the file you dropped on the ground last time." Chen Yu steadied himself and said: "That's why I know about your situation. I also heard what that kid said just now, and I feel it was not worth it for your friend."

"His wife is truly heartless." Chen Yu's eyes were bloodshot, trembling: "Killing her husband to prove her Dao, heh."

"Are you willing to help me?" Ning Ruoxue looked up at Chen Yu: "Help me uncover the truth, clear his name, and bring Zhou Lin and Li Qingwan to justice."

"Why bring them to justice?" Chen Yu smiled: "Wouldn't it be better to just kill them?"

"Then Chen Yu's grievances would never be cleared." Ning Ruoxue looked deeply at Chen Yu: "You are very much like him, and your name is exactly the same as his."

"I don't know why this is; with my eyes closed, I feel like you are him. Perhaps this is some arrangement of fate. Are you willing to help me?"

Chen Yu's heart was trembling slightly; yes, with his current abilities, killing Zhou Lin and Li Qingwan was almost a trivial matter, but wouldn't that be letting them off too easily?

One was a brother he trusted, the other was someone he had loved with his whole life, yet they conspired together to seize his assets and plot his death, and even involved three innocent lives. Wouldn't it be too easy for them to just be killed with a single blade?

Since he wanted revenge, he would let them die in agony, letting them experience the feeling of losing everything and wishing they were dead before they passed.

"Fine, I'll help you." Chen Yu turned and stared at Ning Ruoxue: "You're right, this is heaven's will, a fated connection. I am willing to help you find the evidence and then let that pair of dogs die."

"It's a pity this thing was destroyed." Chen Yu picked up the digital recorder.

"My recorder has a cloud function, and it automatically sends files to my email at set times. I told a friend that if anything happened to me, they should access my email and hand these things over to a judge." Ning Ruoxue said: "Unfortunately, this recording alone is not strong enough evidence."

"You knew you would be in danger? You also knew these people would come to cause you trouble?" Chen Yu looked up abruptly; only then did he realize that Ning Ruoxue had been holding a resolve to die.

"Of course I knew, but I said that for the rest of my life, I would only do one thing: clear Chen Yu's name." Ning Ruoxue said coldly: "Chen Yu trusted Zhou Lin and doted on Li Qingwan; any normal person could see there was a problem with those two at a glance."

"I also advised Chen Yu to be careful of Zhou Lin and not to transfer all his shares to Li Qingwan, but unfortunately, he was blinded by his own situation."

Chen Yu's fists clenched involuntarily; yes, blinded by the situation. If he had listened to even a little of what Ning Ruoxue said, he wouldn't have ended up like this today.

"What kind of things do we need to prove it?" Chen Yu asked.

"My current theory is that Zhou Lin was drinking with Chen Yu that day, and Chen Yu got extremely drunk." Ning Ruoxue said: "Then it was he who caused the accident that left three dead and one injured, and then he put Chen Yu in the driver's seat to fake a scene of Chen Yu driving while intoxicated."

"Now that Chen Yu is dead, this has become an ironclad case, unless we find direct evidence proving that it wasn't Chen Yu who hit the people." Ning Ruoxue said.

"What about the injured person?" Chen Yu suddenly remembered this question.

"The injured person is a vegetable, he has been in the hospital in a coma." Ning Ruoxue said.

"Take me to the hospital; I have a way to wake him up." Chen Yu said.

"Really?" Ning Ruoxue looked up abruptly; if Chen Yu could really wake the injured person up, perhaps this would be a turning point.

"I'll deal with these people." Chen Yu pointed to the few burly men on the ground.

"No need, these three are on the wanted list; just hand them over to the police." Ning Ruoxue said: "As for why Zhang Yi'an was with these people, let the police investigate that."

Chen Yu nodded and left with Ning Ruoxue.

"The injured person you mentioned has already been discharged, and his wife changed her phone number, moved, and cut off contact with everyone." At the hospital, the two received this news.

"Impossible, they were still here when I came last week, and her husband's condition can only be treated in a hospital." Ning Ruoxue said anxiously.

"They couldn't afford the medical expenses; the money from the court-ordered compensation had all been spent." The Yisheng shook his head: "And it seems someone was harassing the injured person; his wife was afraid something would happen, so they left."

"It must be that Zhou Lin was afraid the patient would wake up." Ning Ruoxue stomped her foot in frustration; unfortunately, the lead was broken.

"It's okay, we'll look slowly; there is still hope after all." Chen Yu smiled.

"Mm." Ning Ruoxue nodded, then she relaxed her mood: "You saved me twice and decided to help me; let me buy you a cup of coffee to thank you."

"Alright." Chen Yu smiled.

At a coffee shop, Chen Yu sat down and said: "Two lattes, one low-fat, no sugar."

"How did you know I wanted low-fat coffee, no sugar?" Ning Ruoxue was shocked.

"This... girls are afraid of getting fat, they all add skim milk and don't want sugar. Is there a problem with that?" Chen Yu was startled and quickly thought of a reason.

"Oh, that seems to be the case." Ning Ruoxue nodded: "My friend always orders for me like that whenever we have coffee together."

"Do you... like him?" Chen Yu asked the question he had wanted to ask in his previous life but never dared to.

Ning Ruoxue glanced at Chen Yu coldly and did not answer.

Chen Yu smiled awkwardly; it was impolite to ask that.

Suddenly, a bald man walked in, followed by five or six lackeys.

He glanced at Ning Ruoxue, was slightly stunned, then sneered and walked straight to the table where Ning Ruoxue and Chen Yu were sitting.

"It's you?" Ning Ruoxue's expression changed.

"That's right, it's me, haha. Lawyer Ning, we really have fate; I didn't expect to see you again just after I got out of the Prison." The bald man laughed loudly.

"You're out? Then congratulations." Ning Ruoxue smiled.

"Mm, two years ago you sent me to Prison for intentional injury. Two years, do you know what kind of life I lived in there?"
