Chapter 40: Chu Li Deletes Surveillance for Qin Yunshu

Chu Li gripped her wrist tightly, pulled the suitcase out, and handed it to the servant nearby, his tone stern.

"You have just been released on bail; you cannot go anywhere."

"Stay here and behave."

As he spoke, he touched her cheek, his attitude softening.

"I will send people to investigate this matter; you wait at home for the results."

Qin Xingwan looked at him, "What if it is Qin Yunshu?"

If Qin Yunshu was the one who framed her, what would he do?

"It is not her."

Chu Li trusted Qin Yunshu.

Qin Xingwan curled the corners of her lips mockingly.

She pushed his hand away: "Fine, Chu Li, if it is not Qin Yunshu, then from now on I am willing to be your full-time housewife."

"But if it is, we will divorce."

Chu Li stared at her cold expression, "Fine, I promise you."

Qin Xingwan found Lin Qingya and Fang Yiwen and asked them to help contact a private investigator.

Chu Li was investigating, and she was investigating too.

After only half a day, the private investigator had news.

Qin Yunshu and an executive from a rival company appeared at the same restaurant at the same time.

It was just that the restaurant's security measures were very strict, making it impossible to confirm whether the two had any contact.

Their capabilities were limited, and they could not find any more useful information.

Qin Xingwan did not hesitate at all and went straight to that restaurant.

When she arrived, it was the time when foot traffic was at its peak.

At the entrance of the private room on the second floor, she saw Chu Li.

Chu Li was half-hugging Qin Yunshu; Qin Yunshu's clothes were a bit disheveled, and her eyes were red and swollen.

In front of them, a man with a bruised and swollen face was bowing and apologizing incessantly.

"President Chu, I did not know she was your woman; you are a magnanimous person, please spare me this time."

Qin Yunshu huddled in Chu Li's arms like a fragile bird, tears streaming down, "It is a good thing you came, A Li, I was truly scared."

Chu Li gently comforted and coaxed her.

He did not explain the statement about her being his woman.

Qin Xingwan hid the sarcasm in her eyes and turned to find the manager.

Behind her, Chu Li's voice came.

"Delete all the surveillance footage in the shop."

Qin Xingwan did not pay attention; she did not need today's surveillance.

A voice came from behind again: "Delete all surveillance from the past week."

Qin Xingwan turned around abruptly, staring fixedly at Chu Li.

He wanted to delete all the surveillance?

No.

She stepped forward quickly, pushed through the crowd, and walked in.

"The surveillance cannot be deleted."

Chu Li subconsciously loosened his hand holding Qin Yunshu; he walked to Qin Xingwan and asked in a low voice: "Why are you here?"

"Sister." Qin Yunshu hurriedly grabbed her arm, "Why are you here? Are you not afraid that reporters will take pictures of you?"

Qin Xingwan stepped back two paces, keeping a distance from them.

She looked at Chu Li, "The surveillance cannot be deleted; I have a use for it."

Qin Yunshu's eyes immediately filled with tears, "Sister, if the surveillance is not deleted, I..."

She covered her mouth and wept silently, looking exceptionally pitiful.

Chu Li frowned; he pulled his wife into the private room and explained patiently: "That person is Yun Shu's blind date; he bullied Yun Shu, and the surveillance concerns Yun Shu's reputation, so it cannot be leaked."

A blind date?

Qin Xingwan did not believe it.

That person looked like an ordinary man at first glance; Qin Jianguo and his wife doted on their youngest daughter and would not let her go on a blind date with such a man.

Moreover, having had relationships with heaven's pride such as Chu Li and Cheng Han, how could Qin Yunshu agree to a blind date with an ordinary man?

She told Chu Li about her suspicions.

Qin Yunshu burst in.

Her delicate face was covered in tears, "Sister, I did it for you."

Qin Xingwan looked at her expressionlessly.

Qin Yunshu cried in a low voice, "You always suspect that A Li and I are involved in an improper relationship, so I wanted to hurry up and get married through a blind date; that way, you could rest assured and grow old with A Li."

These words...

Qin Xingwan was greatly shocked and could not understand them.

The problem between her and Chu Li stemmed from Chu Li and Qin Yunshu's lack of boundaries in their interactions; it had nothing to do with whether Qin Yunshu got married or not.

Yet Qin Yunshu acted as if she were sacrificing herself for others.

It was really unnecessary...

Chu Li's expression had already changed, his voice filled with anger.

"Qin Yunshu, who told you to go on blind dates so recklessly?"

Qin Yunshu bit her lip, large tears rolling down as she felt incredibly aggrieved.

"I only wanted you and my sister to be well."

"Do I need you to manage my affairs?"

One was weak and delicate, the other was angry.

Back and forth, it was like they were flirting.

Qin Xingwan crossed her arms and watched them with an expressionless face, "Do you need me to clear out and give you some space?"

Qin Yunshu stopped speaking, only looking at Chu Li with tear-filled, brimming eyes.

Chu Li rubbed his temples, "Xingwan, the surveillance footage must be deleted."

"Deleting today's is enough; why is it necessary to delete a whole week's worth?" Qin Xingwan did not understand.

Just how badly had Qin Yunshu been bullied to require the deletion of a week's worth of surveillance data?

"They have been going on blind dates for half a month, and that man has bullied Yun Shu many times," Chu Li explained.

He hoped Qin Xingwan could understand his younger sister's helplessness.

Qin Xingwan could not understand.

She looked at Qin Yunshu with a mocking smile, full of sarcasm, "If you've been bullied so many times and you neither call the police nor reject him, it seems your love for Chu Li is true, then."

"Since it's true love, why did you run away from the wedding back then?"

Acting like a saint while doing something shameful, don't you find it disgusting?

"Xingwan, stop it," Chu Li's expression darkened.

Three years had already passed.

Why did she always have to bring it up?

Qin Xingwan curled her lips into a smile, "Understood, I won't bully your little childhood sweetheart."

Her words were laced with thorns.

Yet she did not want to stay here any longer.

She turned to leave, but Chu Li grabbed her wrist, holding her firmly in place.

"Come home with me."

Qin Xingwan had come here for the surveillance footage; she could not leave without seeing it.

"I want to see the surveillance footage," she said with a cold face.

"No," Qin Yunshu cried out, as if she had suffered a great injustice.

"Sister, I know you feel uncomfortable because of what happened, but that has nothing to do with me. Can you please be magnanimous and let me off this time?"

In just a few words, she framed Qin Xingwan's desire to see the surveillance footage as an act of revenge.

Qin Xingwan laughed in anger, "Qin Yunshu, I'm only taking a look, what are you feeling guilty about?"

"I'm not."

"That's enough, we're going home."

Chu Li made his decision; he would not let Qin Xingwan see the surveillance footage.

Qin Xingwan's disappointment surged, and she could not help but raise her voice.

"Chu Li, do you know that she has met with an executive from a rival company here?"

"Sister, why are you framing me?" Qin Yunshu questioned, her face streaming with tears.

"It's clear at a glance in the surveillance footage," Qin Xingwan gripped the doorknob and asked Chu Li coldly, "Chu Li, do you dare to look?"

Chu Li's Adam's apple bobbed, "The surveillance footage has already been deleted."

Qin Xingwan was incredulous, "What did you say?"

The surveillance footage had already been deleted, just now when they entered the private room.

"Chu Li," Qin Xingwan was furious to the extreme.

She had come full of hope, thinking she could prove her innocence.

Yet for the sake of Qin Yunshu, Chu Li had deleted the surveillance footage.
