Chapter 1447: Chapter 1447 Testimony Doesn’t Match
After putting the two babies back into their crib.
"Ye Lu, I have to leave now."
Ye Lu’s body trembled, the blissful smile on her face froze gradually.
She raised her head and looked at him silently, her heart wrenching in pain, eyes shrouded in mist.
Happy moments are always so fleeting, passing so quickly, like a dream that ends in the blink of an eye.
Once again, she had to face the harsh reality.
"Alright, be careful." She did not question why he wouldn’t stay, nor did she grow angry that he was leaving her and their children behind once more. She simply reminded him gently to take care of himself.
Third Young Master Jun cupped her face with both hands, gazing into her eyes that held no trace of resentment. Feeling guilty and heartbroken, he kissed her eyelids, her cheeks, her lips softly.
"I’m sorry, Ye Lu."
Ye Lu hooked her arms around his neck, gazing deeply into his eyes. "There’s no need to apologize. I only hope that no matter what you do, whether you succeed or not, you never forget me in your heart. Don’t forget that I’m waiting for you to come home."
Third Young Master Jun’s heart tightened, as though struck by something. He rested his forehead against hers, holding her tightly. "How could I? How can I forget?"
Then, he looked at her with concern.
"I’m always worried when I’m not by your side. I’ll notify Hua Lunxi and Yuanyuan, Yiyi, and ask them to take care of you."
Ye Lu’s complexion shifted slightly. She hurriedly replied, "That’s not necessary. Dr. K is looking after me, it’s fine. As for the matter of my premature childbirth, I think it’s better to keep it hidden for now, not to spread the news. After all, the Godfather and Yiren are watching me like hawks. If they find out, what if they try to harm the children?"
What she said wasn’t unreasonable. Third Young Master Jun thought for a moment and finally nodded.
Only then did Ye Lu quietly exhale a sigh of relief.
She must not arouse his suspicion.
If he truly didn’t leave, staying with her continuously, it would actually be more troublesome. So although she couldn’t bear it, she still wished for him to leave quickly, for him not to notice anything.
Third Young Master Jun bowed his head and kissed her deeply for a long time, then walked to the baby crib, bent down to kiss the two babies, and with steely resolve, left without turning back.
Ye Lu’s expression dimmed, but a chilling gleam suddenly flickered in her eyes.
...
Lie Feng was at the Godfather’s place, reporting Third Young Master Jun’s movements.
Every few days, the Godfather would personally listen to his reports, and Lie Feng never left anything out in his updates.
But this time, while calmly describing Third Young Master Jun’s recent circumstances, he secretly fabricated a lie, claiming that the time when Third Young Master Jun disappeared yesterday had been spent running about for matters related to splitting the trade.
"He’s suddenly gotten proactive. That’s truly unexpected." The Godfather’s deep eyes slowly swept across Lie Feng’s face, which remained as expressionless as ever, his tone a mix of sarcasm and surprise.
Lie Feng maintained his impassive demeanor. "I find it rather unexpected as well. However, Third Young Master’s way of handling things has always been unconventional. I can’t seem to grasp the intent behind his enthusiasm either."
The Godfather scrutinized him several times but didn’t find anything suspicious.
Indeed, if King were to act conventionally, it wouldn’t fit his usual style.
"Shadow, come out. You as well, report the results of your recent surveillance." The Godfather unexpectedly called out Shadow.
Lie Feng’s heart jolted violently; he hadn’t anticipated that the Godfather didn’t fully trust him and had secretly dispatched Shadow to follow Third Young Master Jun.
His heart raced anxiously, but he dared not reveal even the faintest hint of emotion on his face.
His mind was in chaos. Shadow was extraordinarily skilled, having been tailing both him and Third Young Master Jun. They had been completely unaware of Shadow’s presence all along. This meant Shadow likely had substantial knowledge of Third Young Master Jun’s movements.
This time, Third Young Master Jun had gone to see Ye Lu, while Lie Feng had fabricated this lie. If Shadow exposed it, everything would unravel.
