Chapter 683 - 687 The True Face of Xu Pei [4]
"Uncle Leng," Luo Xiaoqian lifted her face to look at the elder brimming with affection, "Thank you for trusting me!"
"Silly child, Uncle Leng knows what kind of person you are. How could I ever believe that you would do such a thing?" Leng Lin comforted her with a smile and then turned to face everyone, "Regarding the incident of Xiao Qian being kidnapped last time, Zirui has already investigated it thoroughly. The mastermind behind hiring those thugs, the one who killed Lu Hao in a hit-and-run to silence him, is Xu Pei!"
Besides the Leng Family Brothers and Luo Xiaoqian, who knew the truth, everybody else, including Huangfu Ao and Shen Yizhou, changed their expressions.
This result far exceeded everyone’s imagination.
No one could have guessed that Xu Pei, who had grown up with them, would do such a thing.
"Could there be some misunderstanding in all of this?" Shen Yizhou asked softly.
"I have been to Xu Pei’s villa. Her white Maserati, both the model and the scratches, matches the vehicle involved in the accident. The villa’s surveillance can prove that she left the villa after ten o’clock that night and only returned after one in the morning. Moreover, I found a strand of hair on her windshield wiper. After DNA analysis, it was Lu Hao’s hair. It must have been caught there when she hit Lu Hao," Leng Zirui solemnly revealed the truth. "Xiao Qian has known all this for a while but decided not to pursue it for the time being because of her father’s hospitalization and Ruoruo’s upcoming wedding."
Everyone fell silent.
"Was it her just now, trying to target you again?" Leng Zimo held Luo Xiaoqian gently in his arms, comforting her by patting her back, "Tell me the truth."
"She..." Luo Xiaoqian lowered her face, "She seemed very angry about me splashing her with juice earlier. Then she came after me to confront me... But she fell down accidentally."
Leng Zimo lifted her face, "Your eyes tell me you’re lying, what really happened?!"
"Zimo!" Tears welled uncontrollably in Luo Xiaoqian’s eyes, "She... she tried to push me down, then when I dodged to the side, she fell. I... I reached out to grab her, I really did. You have to believe me, I really tried to grab her. That’s when I tore her clothes, but I couldn’t hold on, and that’s why she got injured."
"Silly girl," Leng Zimo pulled her into his embrace with heartache, "How could I not trust you? You’re just like this, Little Fool. Even though she treated you that way, you still tried to help her."
He didn’t distrust her; he just knew the situation wasn’t as simple as she described.
Xu Pei, the girl he once admired, had completely turned into someone he couldn’t understand.
"Xiao Qian, I’m sorry." Huangfu Ao stepped forward with a serious apology.
"Yes, me too. I want to apologize to you as well. I misunderstood you earlier without knowing the full situation," Shen Yizhou also came forward.
The expressions on Xu Pei’s face earlier had already explained a lot. Now that they knew the convoluted truth, it wasn’t hard for them to guess Xu Pei’s motives and thoughts behind her actions.
"It’s okay, you don’t have to be formal," Luo Xiaoqian lifted her head from Leng Zimo’s embrace and wiped her eyes, "I’m fine. Under those circumstances, even I would have doubts."
"Yizhou, Zirui..." Tong Ya ran up, out of breath, "Xu Pei drove off in a car, and I couldn’t stop her. You guys have to find a way to bring her back, I’m worried something might happen to her."
