Chapter 188:I Beg of You

“Miss Pei?” Liu Yan’s eyes widened.
Lu Huai widened his eyes and squeezed out a few words through gritted teeth. “Lower your voice!”
“Yes, yes. I’ll see to it.” Liu Yan quickly nodded and took out his phone to write it down.
Everything he thought of was coming true! Why else would the germaphobe tolerate Pei Xin and Ling Lin?
Moreover, if one looked closely at Ling Lin, he seemed to resemble Lu Huai. In fact, he looked even more like Master Lu when he was a child. Liu Yan was shocked by his thoughts.
Now that Lu Huai had asked him to investigate, perhaps he had some presumptions of his own!
Liu Yan did not dare to delay this matter. He did not sleep the entire night and contacted a few well-known private detectives to investigate what had happened back then. Fortunately, his hard work paid off. He finally found some clues.
When he discovered Xu Lian’s lie, Liu Yan was shocked. The Xu family had just improved thanks to the Lu family, but their path was probably coming to an end.
“CEO Lu, this is the information I found. I also found a few staff members of the hotel a few years ago. This is the record.”
Liu Yan placed all the documents on the desk.
“You did see Xu Lian at that time, but the staff proved that she only helped you up. After that, the hotel staff sent you to your room. Two people saw Xu Lian leave the hotel that night.
“I went to check the surveillance cameras of the bank next to the hotel a few years ago. There was a short clip of Xu Lian leaving the hotel. It couldn’t have been her at that time.”
Lu Huai wasn’t angry when he heard the news, as if he had already expected this outcome.
He did not feel a sense of connection with Xu Lian. He just felt that he owed her a little. Her request was not too much, so he helped her. He did not expect Xu Lian to lie to him.
Seeing that he was silent, Liu Yan continued to report, “But there were indeed three young ladies from big families in the hotel back then. Other than Bai Ling who reported to you previously, there were also Pei Xin and Ling Xue.”
Lu Huai raised his head slightly to look at him. “Pei Xin was there, right? Can you be sure that she was…”
He didn’t continue asking. Lu Huai looked a little nervous. If the person at that time was Pei Xin, all the problems would… But if it wasn’t her then…
He pointed his finger slightly, and the nervous expression on his face disappeared. He meant for Liu Yan to continue.
“Actually, I think that Pei Xin’s child does look like a member of the Lu family.” Liu Yan gulped. When he saw that Lu Huai had relaxed a little, he continued to report, “However, I haven’t found any evidence that Miss Pei Xin is that person. Moreover, Pei Jue was also at the hotel at that time. A waiter saw him. He had been looking for his sister, but I don’t know which sister he was looking for.”
The more Liu Yan investigated, the stranger he felt. Pei Jue treated Pei Xin very well before, but everything changed when Ling Xue appeared.
He probably did not go to find Pei Xin at that time, but if Pei Xin was really drugged, Pei Jue might have been the mastermind behind it.
Lu Huai flipped through the documents. “I will look into this matter further. We must find the person who did it.”
He raised his head again and looked at Liu Yan coldly. “Withdraw the Xu family’s shares.”
Liu Yan couldn’t help but shiver. It seemed that Miss Xu had stepped on the wrong tail. She thought that Lu Huai was a gentleman and would definitely help her, but she never thought about the consequences of lying to him.
Apart from Lu Huai’s men who were busy investigating the incident at the hotel, Pei Xin was also out and about.
Although Ling Lin’s condition was still stable, no one knew when the cancer would mutate. She did not dare to take the risk and had to find his father as soon as possible.
Although Lu Huai said that he would help, she still did not want the Lu family to get involved.
After asking around, she finally found her old classmate, Sun Jin.
“Yo, what is going on? The school belle has the time to talk to me?” Sun Jin had already heard from his classmates that Pei Xin was coming, so he had already made preparations.
Although he was teasing her, he still felt a little heartache when he saw the haggard and thin figure in front of him.
Pei Xin was the pride and joy of the school! Although she was not overbearing, she was not as humble as she was now.
Thinking of what happened in the past, Sun Jin sneered. “What’s up? I’m a very busy person.”
Pei Xin and he were only acquaintances, but she knew that only Sun Jin could help her now.
“Sun Jin, I have a favor to ask you..”
