The CEO is domineering, the devil Boss is addicted to pampering

Chapter 1313 Yun Rui's sincerity: soft-hearted backstab

What made her even more devastated was that half an hour later, her father Yang Bin called her. The anger in his voice almost burned through the receiver: "Explain it to me clearly! What's going on with Lin Xu? When did you get a boyfriend? Why didn't you tell me?"

"Dad, it's not what you think!" Yang Xiaotang was so anxious that tears came out. "I don't know him, it's a rumor!"

"Rumors?" Yang Bin's voice deepened. "They've already released the photos! Do you think you can still deny this?"

"Dad! Listen to me, that's fake! You've been a police officer for so many years, you're sure you can tell it apart..."

"I'm going to go find Gu Yunqian and ask him about this. He must send you back the same way he sent you out. You are not allowed to stay abroad anymore."

"Dad, Dad! Listen to me..." Yang Xiaotang shouted hurriedly, but there was a busy tone on the other end of the phone.

She slumped on the hospital bed, her whole body cold.

What the hell is going on? Why did Lin Xu become my boyfriend? It even made the newspaper!

Just when she was at her wit's end, her phone suddenly vibrated. It was a text message from an unfamiliar number: "Don't worry, I've already taken care of your dad."

Yang Xiaotang's heart skipped a beat, and an absurd thought came to her mind. She was about to call back when someone grabbed her phone.

Gu Yunxi stood by the bed, holding her phone in his hand, with a hint of apology on his face: "I'm sorry, I used your phone without your consent. I will give you an explanation for this matter and will not let him act impulsively."

"You did it?" Yang Xiaotang's voice trembled as she pointed at her phone screen. "Did you spread those rumors? Why did you do that?"

Gu Yunxi put the phone on the bedside table, without denying or making excuses: "Only in this way will your father do his best to investigate this case. Lin Xu's file is very tightly controlled. Without sufficient motivation, the police will not let go easily."

"So you're using me as a scapegoat?" Yang Xiaotang suddenly sat up from the bed, the IV tube shaking as she pulled on it. "You used me! You asked me to help you just to drag me down with you! Gu Yunxi, you're horrible!"

"I didn't mean to hurt you." Gu Yunxi's voice was soft, but with an unquestionable firmness. "This is the fastest way. Once the case is investigated, I will publicly clarify and restore your innocence."

"Give me back my innocence?" Yang Xiaotang laughed, tears streaming down her face. "Now the whole world knows I'm that dead man's girlfriend! How can I live like this? I helped you, and this is how you treat me? Have you ever thought about my future?"

"I'm sorry." Gu Yunxi lowered his head, and there was finally a hint of guilt in his voice, "But I have no choice."

"You have no choice but to sacrifice me?" Yang Xiaotang's voice suddenly rose, attracting the nurse to push the door open.

She waved her hand to let the nurse go out, turned her head and stared at Gu Yunxi, "You planned it all out from the beginning, right? Asking me for help was fake, and using me was the real reason! You just want me and my dad to fight for you, and you reap the benefits!"

Gu Yunxi didn't say anything, but just looked at her silently, with complex emotions in his eyes.

The air in the ward seemed frozen, with only Yang Xiaotang's rapid breathing echoing. She looked at Gu Yunxi's calm face and suddenly felt a chill. This woman was far more terrifying than she had imagined.

At this time in China, Yang Bin was just about to go out to Miaoyin Media when he received a strange call from someone who was using his daughter's cell phone.

"Hello, Uncle Yang, I'm Gu Yunxi." The voice on the other end of the phone was gentle and calm. "I want to explain to you about Lin Xu..."

No one knew what they talked about on the phone, only that the call lasted for forty minutes.

After hanging up the phone, the anger on Yang Bin's face disappeared, replaced by a solemn expression. Instead of going to Miaoyin Media, he immediately called the police chief.

What happened next was so fast that it was dizzying.

That afternoon, the domestic police contacted the British police and proposed cooperation in investigating Lin Xu's disappearance.

The next day, the British police relented and agreed to provide some of the files.

The next day, the police of the two countries set up a joint investigation team, led by Yang Bin’s old comrade, to directly intervene in the case.

The speed was so fast that everyone was caught off guard, including Gu Yunqian who had been observing in secret.

He looked at the report handed over by Lin Junze, his brows furrowed. What did Gu Yunxi say to Yang Bin?

How could Yang Bin, who has always been so protective of his daughter, make such a big change in just a few days?

But the one who was most affected was Yang Xiaotang.

When she learned from Yan Wanqing that the domestic police had reached a cooperation with the UK, she was completely stunned.

She didn't expect things to progress so quickly, and she didn't expect Gu Yunxi to be able to convince her father.

But this surprise was quickly replaced by anger.

She helped Gu Yunxi, but was used as a scapegoat and became a laughing stock. This feeling of being used and betrayed was more painful to her than Qi Ruixiang's indifference.

"She did it on purpose!" Yang Xiaotang slammed her pillow to the ground, tears streaming down her face. "She knows my dad loves me the most and won't let me suffer any injustice, so she deliberately spread those rumors to force my dad to take action! She doesn't want to investigate the case at all, she just wants to use our family!"

Yan Wanqing felt bad watching Yang Xiaotang lose control of her emotions. She patted her on the back and said softly, "Okay, don't be angry. There's progress in the case now, which is finally a good thing."

"Good thing?" Yang Xiaotang raised her head suddenly, her eyes red as a rabbit's. "It's a good thing for her, but what about me? How am I supposed to be with the person I really like in the future?"

Yan Wanqing opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.

She's not Gu Yunxi, so I can't comment without knowing the full story...

At this moment, the door of the ward was pushed open and Gu Yunxi walked in. She was holding a document in her hand, and when she saw the pillow on the ground, her brows frowned slightly.

"There's new progress in the case." Gu Yunxi handed the documents to Yang Xiaotang, "The police found some clues in Lin Xu's apartment."

Yang Xiaotang didn't take the file, but just looked at her coldly: "What does this have to do with me? I've already helped you, what else do you want?"

"I'd like to ask you for another favor." Gu Yunxi's tone was very calm, "I want..."

"That's enough!" Yang Xiaotang interrupted her abruptly, her voice filled with despair and anger. "Gu Yunxi, do you really think I'm that easy to bully? Not only did you use me, but you also want to push me into the fire pit? I tell you, it's impossible! From now on, I won't do anything for you anymore! Clean up your own mess yourself!"

Gu Yunxi looked at her excited expression, was silent for a moment, and then put the documents on the bedside table: "I know you are very angry now, but Lin Xu's matter is really important. If you change your mind, feel free to call me."

After saying that, she turned and walked out of the ward without any reluctance.

The moment the door closed, Yang Xiaotang couldn't hold it in any longer and burst into tears on the bed. Yan Wanqing walked over and patted her back gently, feeling a mixture of emotions.

Gu Yunxi walked out of the hospital, stood in the sunshine, and breathed a long sigh of relief. She knew she had let Yang Xiaotang down, but she had no choice. For Lin Xu, for the truth, she had no choice but to do this.
