Chapter 10 - Xie Jingyu

Yu Huiyin slowly ate the congee while thinking about her options. Since she could change nothing, she could only accept her lot in life, and thus she was going to take full advantage of this rich man who had tricked her.

Tricking her did not come easy. Since he dared do that, he had to face the consequences himself. But for now, she was going to eat some food, sleep, and heal. She understood her body's condition the best; it needed ample rest to get over the injury. Only then would she be able to plan mission divorce.

Xie Jingyu did as he had said and stayed with her the whole day. He did everything in his power to please her, he peeled fruit and poured drinks waiting on her like a butler.

Assistant Song, who was observing it all, was shocked to see his cold and ruthless boss act like this. It was simply too unbelievable.

The entire day went more or less peaceful. Yu Huiyin did not shy away from Xie Jingyu, but she did not show him her positive and friendly personality either.

Xie Jingyu was not in a hurry to change her opinion of him. He continued to pamper and spoil her, but he soon stopped talking with her.

Just as Xie Jingyu had said, he stayed the entire day and evening. He ordered different nutritious foods for her, and when she had fallen asleep in the evening, he went to the bedroom that was connected to her suite, where he slept.

Early the following morning, he went to wash up, change into another suit which Assistant Song had prepared, and entered the VIP ward, where Yu Huiyin was still asleep.

Looking at her expression where the corners of her lips were slightly raised, she seemed to be in a good mood, and he was also smitten by her happiness.

He looked at her for a few minutes before he sighed and exited the ward. Outside, a row of bodyguards was guarding the ward, and when they saw Xie Jingyu, they all straightened their backs unconsciously.

Xie Jingyu was also cold now. The tenderness that had been in his eyes when looking at Yu Huiyin had vanished and was now replaced with ruthlessness.

"Hui Liqiang, Zhou Bai, you two stay here and watch over the madam. No one apart from myself and Assistant Song is allowed entry."

The two bodyguards who were called out nodded their heads, and stood on one side of the door each. The rest followed behind Xie Jingyu as he made his way to the office.

When he entered the office, he quickly summoned Assistant Song. "Have you found out who was behind the assassination attempt yesterday?"

Assistant Song nodded his head and found some doc.u.ments in his briefcase. He pushed his glasses further up the bridge of his nose before he answered.

"Boss Yang seems to be unhappy with the threat you sent to the arms dealer last month. It seems that the arms dealer has some shady deals with Boss Yang under the table, and because you warned them they were unhappy. Boss Yang saw an opportunity to get rid of you and a chance to climb the ladder."

Ruthlessness flashed in the eyes of Xie Jingyu. "Uproot his entire organization."

The chilling order was not foreign to Assistant Song, and he was not surprised by it either.

Xie Jingyu was the CEO of the most formidable business in the entire country, but it was not enough for him. He had reached his hands deep into the underground, dealing in all sorts of shady business as well.

Even though many were aware of this, no one had ever been able to find anything on him, and he was able to continue reigning terror on all parts of the business field.

His business had even stretched its ranks overseas and was growing at an alarming rate.

Many were alert and worried about him and his sudden rise to prominence, but not many dared to act against him, precisely because of him having a hand in the underground world.

If they succeeded, it would be fine, but if they did not, then they would have to live a life worth than death.

Assistant Song was aware that this Boss Yang would not have a pretty outcome, but he did not care. Anyone who dared to move on his boss deserved their ending.

Assistant Song had been with Xie Jingyu since they were kids. He was the adopted son of Xie Jingyu's parents, and the young boy had sworn to do anything that could benefit his adopted brother.

Xie Jingyu's parents had died in an accident when he was twenty-one years Ifold and left the company alongside everything else in their son's hands.

His parents had never been very close to his family, apart from his grandfather, and although he felt sad that his parents passed away, he was not devastated.

Even at the young age of twenty-one, he had already managed to create an underworld power that could rival the more prominent gangs.

Throughout the years, with the assistance of his legal businesses, they had grown immensely and were now the biggest gang in the country.

Yu Huiyin was unaware of this. She thought that the man she was marrying was just a bit more wealthy than others, but if she had known of his real identity, she would have been far too terrified.

Xie Jingyu also had no plans to tell her the truth just yet. He was not willing to scare her, but he knew that at some point, she had to know.

Being with him might even bring danger to her, so he had to step up his game so that he could protect her.
