Chapter 381: 381, Yan Pingdan, you have finally appeared.
The dark night, silent as falling droplets.
The man was moving toward Shi Yuhuan step by step. Dressed in black and wearing a black hat, he was nearly indistinguishable from the black of night.
He stopped when he was two meters away from Shi Yuhuan. He didn’t say a word, but his inscrutable gaze was trained on Shi Yuhuan.
Shi Yuhuan returned the gaze arrogantly, with a poker face. He said in a relaxed tone: “Aren’t you afraid that I could be the one who wants to kill you?” 𝓃𝓸𝓋𝓹𝓾𝓫.𝒸ℴ𝓶
“I’ve already ‘died’ once. I can discern that much. If you wanted to kill me, you wouldn’t have helped my sister and investigated my affair,” the man laughed, removing his hat to reveal an attractive, handsome face.
Shi Yuhuan wasn’t surprised to see him. He simply called out the man’s name, “Yan Pingdan, you’ve finally shown up!”
Yan Pingdan smiled lightly, “Mr. Shi, you knew I was back. Even if I didn’t show up, you would have found a way to make me.”
Shi Yuhuan looked intently at him and said confidently, “You’ve been following her!”
He didn’t specify who “she” was, but Yan Pingdan knew. He nodded slightly and said, “Yes, but not for long, only about half a month. I had been thrown into the sea and was seriously injured. I barely escaped with my life and it took nearly a year to recover. After coming back, I found out that Qinghuan was working at Times Group. I was worried about her, so I’ve been following her closely!”
“Why did those people want to kill her?” Shi Yuhuan asked.
“Because you hid Li Wei, then fabricated false evidence. You wanted to use that evidence to sow discord among them. They thought I, Yan Pingdan, had taken the evidence. Since they thought I was dead, they assumed that Qinghuan got the evidence from me and sent it to them. That’s why they wanted to kill her. After I found out that Li Wei was not dead, I’ve been following Qinghuan,” he paused, then added, “But what surprised me is that you’ve been more caring towards Qinghuan than I expected. You found her so quickly. I was following them all along, waiting for an opportunity to save Qinghuan. But just as I managed to get her out, you guys arrived! However, I am curious, how did you know it was me who saved her?”
Shi Yuhuan answered indifferently, “She muttered four words in a semi-conscious state in the car – ‘Big brother is you!'”
A disdainful sneer tinged Yan Pingdan’s lips, “No wonder you are ‘The First Chinese in Business on Wall Street’ and the financial tycoon of the new era. Just four simple words and you got everything figured out.”
Ignoring his sarcasm, Shi Yuhuan asked, “The man who tried to kill you, who cut off four fingers, and who targeted Song Qinghuan, was it the same person?”
Yan Pingdan confirmed, “Yes, it’s the same person! I thought you would have noticed by now. Someone has been using your company to launder a huge amount of dirty money. At first, I thought it was you. Later, I realized that you knew nothing about it. That person had hidden so deeply and had such formidable power that it shocked me. Later, I learned about ‘K’ through Li Wei!”
“Go on!” Shi Yuhuan’s words were curt.
Staring intently at him, Yan Pingdan demanded, “Li Wei is not dead. You’ve hidden her. I found out about it unintentionally. Since you’ve hidden Li Wei, you must know about ‘K’, and you should have suspected that he is the mastermind behind everything. You wanted to use Li Wei to investigate ‘K’, but they have mistakenly targeted Qinghuan instead. Mr. Shi, don’t tell me you didn’t see this coming!”
(PS: That’s all for today, will continue tomorrow. Announcing the lucky reader of yesterday: Mr. Rabbit!)
