Chapter 911: Witness Attacked

~7 min read 1,356 words

Moreover, the people who attacked them are definitely related to the Pei Family; the Pei Family must have sensed something, and they are now trying to cut the weeds and eliminate the roots.

After clarifying the current location of the two, Chen Yu hurried over there; he had to figure out what was going on.

In the suburbs, inside a safe house.

The location of this safe house was extremely hidden; the small building was inside an air-raid shelter, the walls were a thick concrete structure, and the doors and windows were all bulletproof.

This safe house was originally a place for the special department to protect important witnesses, but it was now being borrowed by Wu Fei for temporary use.

"How are they?" Chen Yu asked while hurrying inside.

"Mr. Chen, fortunately I arrived in time, so the two of them don't have any major problems, and there is also a friend with them," Wu Fei said.

"A friend of mine? Who is it?" Chen Yu's expression tightened slightly.

"It is Miss Tang, Tang Xue," Wu Fei said, "She went to look for you, but you weren't there, so she waited for you at the hotel, but I didn't expect that she would be attacked at the same time."

"Alright, I understand. Monitor the movements of the Pei Family. Also, keep a close eye on Pei Yuan's son; make sure no one silences him," Chen Yu said.

"Yes." Wu Fei nodded and turned to go make arrangements.

Chen Yu arrived in front of the safe house and pushed the door open to enter.

Zhou Yuqing and Zhang Xu were both inside, but there was already a hint of vigilance in their eyes as they looked at Chen Yu.

These two people had witnessed the passing of their own relatives and had been hunted for a long time, so they would not easily trust anyone now.

They trusted Chen Yu, but what they encountered was a pursuit, which made them suspicious of Chen Yu's identity.

"Brother Chen, you're here." It was Tang Xue in the room who reacted first; she ran over and threw herself into Chen Yu's arms.

"It's okay, you aren't hurt, are you?" Chen Yu was startled and instinctively wanted to push her away, but Tang Xue hugged him tightly and refused to let go.

"I thought I would never see you again. If it weren't for someone coming out to save us, we would have really been in danger." Tears welled up in Tang Xue's eyes.

Chen Yu comforted her for a moment, then helped her sit on a chair. He walked up to Zhou Yuqing and Zhang Xu and said apologetically, "Sorry, I didn't expect that they had already sensed it."

"Chen Yu, I don't trust you right now." Zhou Yuqing looked at Chen Yu vigilantly: "Only you knew where we were staying. Why is it that as soon as you left, we were attacked?"

"I will investigate this matter clearly, but you must believe me. I have already raided Pei Yuan's drug manufacturing den, and his two sons are one dead and one injured," Chen Yu tried to explain: "His youngest son, Pei Qing, is dead, and his eldest son is being controlled by the military."

"I have already found people to interrogate him, and there will be results very soon."

Zhou Yuqing and Zhang Xu looked at each other. Zhang Xu nodded slightly at her and said, "He is not lying; his eyes will not deceive us."

"But how do you explain the fact that we were attacked?" Zhou Yuqing's brows were slightly locked.

"What do you mean? Do you know how much risk Brother Chen took to help you?" Tang Xue, on the side, was unhappy. She shouted at the two of them: "Do you know what kind of people you are facing? Besides Brother Chen, who else would help you?"

"Tang Xue." Chen Yu's brows locked slightly; Tang Xue's reaction was too intense.

"Brother Chen, you help them so wholeheartedly, yet they suspect you. I am indignant for you. In this world, it is hardest to be a good person," Tang Xue said with a wronged expression.

"There is a reason for this. Don't be agitated; I'll send you back first," Chen Yu said helplessly.

After sending Tang Xue back to where she was staying, Chen Yu proposed to leave.

"Brother Chen, won't you sit here for a while and drink a cup of tea before leaving?" Tang Xue grabbed Chen Yu's hand, reluctant to let go.

"No, I still have many things to deal with. I'll come sit another day." Chen Yu smiled.

"Which day is your 'another day'?" Tang Xue looked at Chen Yu, her eyes somewhat resentful as she said: "Sit down and drink a cup of tea before you go. Once you leave, I don't know which day we will meet again."

Chen Yu pondered for a moment, then nodded and sat down.

Tang Xue poured a cup of water for Chen Yu, then sat opposite him. She didn't speak, just rested her chin on her hands, looking at Chen Yu with a sweet smile on her face.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Are there flowers on my face?" Chen Yu said with a bitter smile.

"I just want to look at you a few more times while you're here." Tang Xue smiled sweetly.

Chen Yu felt a bit awkward. He coughed lightly and then picked up the water in front of him and took a sip: "When do you plan to go back?"

"Whenever you go back, I will go back. There are people watching over the orphanage, so there won't be any problems," Tang Xue said.

"Go back. Jinling is not very peaceful right now," Chen Yu said with a sheepish smile.

"No, I want to stay here and accompany you." Tang Xue shook her head.

"Your exchange should have ended already, right? By the way, what was the matter when you came to the hotel to find me today?" Chen Yu asked.

"Nothing, I just purely wanted to see you." Tang Xue looked at Chen Yu, sighed slightly, and said: "Brother Chen, don't you know how I feel about you?"

"Tang Xue." Chen Yu put down the cup in his hand, his expression becoming serious: "You will meet a good person. Some things, you need to try to let go of yourself."

"Brother Chen, I can no longer let go." Tang Xue walked slowly to Chen Yu and looked at him affectionately: "I said before, when I opened my eyes in the hospital, the first person I saw was you, and I felt that you were my true Heavenly Child."

"I also said that I don't ask for status, I don't ask for anything. I only want to stay by your side. If you need me, I will come to your side; if you hate me, I will leave."

"Brother Chen, do you know? I am a girl with a lot of self-respect. I have never been so humble in front of anyone. Can't you just look at me properly?"

Tang Xue's tears fell uncontrollably, and she looked at Chen Yu through teary eyes.

"You don't need to be so humble. You have the right to love, and I have also said that I treat you like a little sister." Chen Yu sighed, stood up, and said: "Tang Xue, I'm going back first. Tomorrow I will find someone to send you back to Shengjing."

"Jinling is not peaceful recently, so you cannot stay here. I don't have the energy to take care of you. When the matters in Jinling are over, I will return to Shengjing to have a good talk with you."

"Are you... trying to drive me away?" Tang Xue raised her head and looked at Chen Yu.

"It's not driving you away, but it is very dangerous here, and you cannot stay here," Chen Yu said.

"You are just driving me away." Tang Xue wiped away her tears and smiled somewhat neurotically: "Brother Chen, do you remember what I said to you last time?"
