Chapter 95: Helping Him Distinguish Truth from Falsehood
The moment Le Can stepped into the hotel, he immediately completed a “smooth as water” identity swap with a body double acting as him outside.
Well, this was great; there was no need to keep the makeup on purpose.
He removed his makeup with a rough hand, peeled off the incredibly realistic wig, and after scrubbing himself clean, he tucked himself comfortably into bed.
The Aphrodite was indeed very steady. But after floating on the sea for so long, the moment he returned to land, the exhaustion hidden deep within his body and spirit was instantly ignited by the fatigue of the journey.
If Xi Yun wanted to come find him.
There was a high probability he wouldn’t pick tonight.
Le Can didn’t care whether the things he had done earlier would leave the man confused and unable to sleep; he heartlessly allowed himself to sink into a deep, dark dreamscape.
Leaving the person on the other end, who had received a photo and the message “Don’t forget to come,” to grip his phone tightly.
No reply to the message, no answer to the call; a certain someone really ended up not sleeping all night…
At that moment, looking at the youth in the photo wrapped in a large black shirt, crookedly beckoning with a provocative expression, Xi Yun’s jaw tightened. He let out a muffled groan, suppressing his suddenly haywire abilities.
That black shirt was the one Xi Yun wore most frequently on a daily basis.
The youth wrapped inside it was as white as a cloud—a red cloud dyed by the sunset.
He leaned limply against the pillow, his pinkish-white neck covered in a light sweat, his watery peach-blossom eyes carrying an undisguised sense of satiety and fatigue.
With just one look, Xi Yun could tell the other was in a certain refractory period.
He forcefully suppressed the surging desires in his body and quickly issued a command: “Double the amount of jade sent over tomorrow.”
In any case, he had to recover his vision and mobility as soon as possible…
The youth sleeping with rosy cheeks didn’t yet know how big of a debt he owed. However, even if he did, he would probably get used to it after a bit of panic.
How did that saying go?
A man with many lice doesn’t itch; a man with many debts doesn’t worry.
If he really calculated every debt, intentional or unintentional, Le Can was afraid his debt to Xi Yun would be mountain-high.
He wouldn’t be able to pay it back in just two short years; he might have to mortgage his entire life…
In this life, Le Can, who just went wherever the wind took him, didn’t yet realize that his self-indulgence and pursuit of immediate pleasure had silently handed the rest of his life over to someone else.
After living in seclusion for two days, Le Can didn’t wait for the busy Xi Yun to find the time, but instead received a few rather explosive pieces of news first.
“The old scoundrel’s long-awaited ‘old son’ isn’t his own?!”
Le Can, who had been lazily listening to the report, suddenly sat bolt upright. Like a cat with sensitive senses, he instantly smelled the scent of melodramatic gossip.
He leaned his head closer to the phone screen, looking at Liang Yusheng, who was speaking beside Xi Yun. His two eyes, which had widened in a flash, were filled with the excitement of “eating melons.”
“Tell me exactly what happened!”
Sigh, it’s a pity I can’t stick my head through the screen.
Ever since Le Can “disappeared” by falling into the sea, the task of handing over information with the paparazzi Gao Dan had been transferred to the people under Xi Yun to keep an eye on the aftermath.
After all, once Jian Yu was dealt with, it would be about time to take care of that family. He still had to keep a close watch.
Liang Yusheng lowered his eyes, quickly glancing at his boss, whose aura had suddenly shifted from cold and rigid to soft the moment the youth appeared on the screen.
Further down in the camera’s blind spot, in a place Le Can couldn’t see, the jade pieces by Xi Yun’s hand were being replaced in a continuous stream…
Silently lighting a row of candles in his heart for the oblivious youth, Liang Yusheng smoothly turned around and shifted the object of his report to Le Can.
“The focus of Mr. Gao’s attention from the start has always been Le Wenxin’s family; it didn’t actually include that Ms. Zhou who appeared midway.”
Le Can took a step back until his entire face could be displayed, nodding in approval. “I ordered that.”
The ones he had a grievance with were those few people in the Le family. Even though Le Can knew the woman was being a “third wheel,” and she had moral flaws, she was essentially just a stranger to him.
Therefore, regarding the matter of the new “eldest aunt” being pregnant. On the photos and reports Le Can had Gao Dan send over, her face and all information that would reveal her identity were blurred.
Of course, he didn’t do this to protect anyone. It was purely because he didn’t want the true scum, Le Wenxin, to hide away beautifully while the two women tore at each other’s hair.
Liang Yusheng pushed his glasses up. Even remembering the reason the matter was discovered, he still felt deeply moved.
“One can only say that Mr. Gao is worthy of being a paparazzi; his perception of certain types of information is very sensitive. While monitoring Le Wenxin two or three times, he noticed something was off with Ms. Zhou.”
“However, in the entertainment circle where Mr. Gao works, such things aren’t rare. At first, he didn’t care, thinking she was just enduring her internal disgust for the sake of money.”
In the circle of the wealthy, such things really were quite common.
In the eyes of those young, beautiful men and women who volunteered themselves, a period of time or a child in exchange for something they couldn’t earn even if they worked themselves to death for a lifetime was a profitable deal.
Hearing the word “disgust,” Le Can suddenly laughed out loud. After laughing, he remembered Le Wenxin’s greasy face and slowly pulled back his expression.
To be honest, he had thought so at first as well.
Le Wenxin’s appearance was what it was; talk about “true love,” especially in such a short time—it was simply rubbing one’s intelligence into the ground.
Probably only the ordinary yet confident, stupid yet toxic Le Wenxin believed it himself. So, it was both expected and logical that he would be deceived.
Le Can: “And then?”
Thinking of what he was about to say, Liang Yusheng frowned but quickly hid his emotions toward certain people, continuing:
“During one stakeout, Mr. Gao personally witnessed Ms. Zhou seeing Le Wenxin off, only to immediately take another man’s arm. After some intimacy, the two went into the house that had been gifted to her together.”
Fearing it would foul Le Can’s ears, Liang Yusheng hid some details.
For example, Gao Dan was so certain because the two had impatiently embraced and kissed the moment Le Wenxin turned around.
Oh, by the way, that man had moved into that house with her under the identity of Ms. Zhou’s younger brother.
Le Can was speechless for a moment: “…”
He thought it was Le Wenxin pretending to be a big shot and tricking someone. He didn’t expect it was the other party setting a trap, leading the old scoundrel inside, making him willingly send both a house and money.
On second thought, these movable and immovable assets were all being plucked from the “little soft bun” (the original host) alone, which meant they were being plucked from his own wool…
Le Can, who couldn’t laugh: …
Speaking of which, am I also a bit of a sucker?
Suppressing the complex emotions in his heart, Le Can pondered for a moment before turning to instruct Liang Yusheng.
“Don’t be in a hurry to expose this.”
“If possible, when Le Ruisi or Li Qianping investigate her identity, help cover up the fact that my ‘dear eldest uncle’ is being played.”
The house could be taken back eventually. The money might have been spent and couldn’t be repaid, but Le Can, who wasn’t short on money at all now, didn’t care about using that money to buy some satisfaction for himself and the “little soft bun.”
He seemed to casually shift his gaze, taking in Xi Yun, who had remained silent the entire time, before quickly shifting it away.
Although his gains were all with a clear conscience, he didn’t deny that Xi Yun had given him the greatest economic confidence. It allowed him… to not be constrained by external things and face certain people and matters more calmly.
Counting it up, it had been over a week since he had seen those beautiful silver-grey eyes…
Le Can thought absent-mindedly, so the words coming out of his mouth carried a bit of nonchalance. “But they were family once, after all. It’s not good to let the other party stay in the dark forever.”
Liang Yusheng understood the underlying meaning. “Once old Mr. Le returns to his original status, I will also personally take a trip to help him ‘distinguish truth from falsehood’ again.”
Remove the false and leave the real.
But just removing some external objects—how could that be enough?
Le Can silently gave a thumb-up, praising the high EQ (emotional intelligence) of Assistant Liang. With someone like this, he didn’t feel a bit of envy for how much money they made.
After finishing the not-so-tasty “melon” (gossip), Le Can returned to his initial slumping posture, about to return to his soft bed once again.
At this moment, the silent Xi Yun finally spoke.
“This morning, Xie Jun had someone deliver a message. She found the reason why Yin Wuyu is working for Jian Yu.”
Le Can’s back, which had almost touched the bed surface, snapped upright again.
He frowned as he looked at Xi Yun on the screen. “Xie Jun hasn’t been heard from for days. Did she go to investigate this personally?”
Xi Yun gave an “mm.”
“She said she had to understand the situation even if it meant death.”
Hearing this, Le Can wasn’t surprised at all.
Xie Jun was exactly that kind of person—clear about love and hate, incredibly vivid. She had her own principles and adhered to them completely, burning as intensely as a fire.
In the original story, Jian Yu had used half of Yuan Cheng’s life to douse this fire. He also created an unbridgeable psychological rift between the three of them—truly hateful!
“Then what reason did she find?”
To be honest, Le Can, who roughly knew the inside story, wasn’t actually interested. His initial concern and shock were all because of the long-absent Xie Jun.
“Jian Yu helped Yin Wuyu find his long-lost twin brother.”
It was no different from what Gao Dan had told him back then. Le Can nodded casually, saying “mm-hmm” twice to show he knew.
Besides this, he knew even more.
For example, Yin Wuyu’s strange mother, Jiang Lian, who had a strained relationship with her eldest son; for example, his brother, who was in a vegetative state and had never woken up, was named Tong Chen; for example, the hospital they were at before was the Suihe’an International Hospital, and they had likely transferred by now…
“However, although that person is also Yin Wuyu’s full biological brother, he isn’t the child his parents originally abandoned to pay off a debt.”
Le Can, who was fluffing his pillow to make it softer and better to lie on, froze his movements upon hearing this.
It took him a long while to stabilize his dizzy head before reaching out to interrupt the question Xi Yun was about to ask after waiting for a response.
“Wait a minute!”
Let him sort out his chaotic thoughts first.
“That Tong Chen lying in the hospital bed isn’t Yin Chen—the child who was sold to pay off a debt back then?”
Le Can’s eyes narrowed with coldness. “If he isn’t Yin Chen but is still a full biological brother, that means he’s a child Jiang Lian gave birth to later.”
“Then who is Tong Chen’s biological father? The first one, the second one, or neither?”
Le Can remembered Gao Dan telling him that Jiang Lian had remarried while bringing a child with her. This mother had also proclaimed everywhere that the child was her ex-husband’s child whom she had worked so hard to find…
Xi Yun said concisely: “Tong Chen’s biological father is Jiang Lian’s second husband.”
A bolt of thunder split the chaos in Le Can’s brain!
In other words, Jiang Lian had lied to Yin Wuyu. So what about Jian Yu, who had helped Yin Wuyu find his brother?
Did he know that Tong Chen wasn’t Yin Chen?
T/N: “Eating melons” (吃瓜) is a very common Chinese slang term for being a bystander observing drama or gossip. “Little soft bun” (小軟包子) refers to someone who is soft-tempered and easily bullied. “Wool” (羊毛) refers to profits or benefits—plucking wool means taking advantage of someone.
