Does Yu Hongtu Have a Murder on His Hands?
Within Jiang Youli’s line of sight, snow had settled on a large tree outside the window.
Ye Ying continued, “Two years ago, Yu Hongtu killed a family of three in a drunk-driving accident. Their baby had only just turned one month old. Since both parents were only children, the family was left with nothing but elderly relatives. The incident briefly made the trending searches, but Yu Zhanzhi quickly paid to suppress it and used his connections to settle the matter.”
“The four elderly parents of the couple kept appealing for justice but were never able to get anywhere. Half a year ago, two of them died from depression.”
At this point, Ye Ying’s already cool voice was filled with even more icy hatred. “According to an insider, throughout the entire process—from the accident to the incident being exposed online—Yu Hongtu showed no remorse whatsoever. Afterward, he even joked with his gang of good-for-nothings… ‘That baby’s skull was pretty tough. Its head was severed, but the skull didn’t even crack.’”
Upon hearing this, killing intent flashed in Jiang Youli’s eyes.
That beast.
“Is that so? Now I suddenly want to know how hard Yu Hongtu’s bones really are, and whether he could withstand being hit by a car.”
Ye Ying asked, “Boss, you’re not planning to send Yu Hongtu to prison through legal means?”
Jiang Youli’s eyes radiated intense killing intent. “Sending him to prison would be far too easy on him. I want him to pay a hundredfold for what he did. Since Auntie Ya is in your hands, have her take care of this. Then we can hand her over and send her to prison.”
“I understand.”
But before that, Jiang Youli needed to teach Yu Hongtu a lesson to vent the fury burning inside her.
“Where is Yu Hongtu now?”
“He’s with Long Yuan in a private VIP room at the City of No Night.”
“Good.”
After hanging up, Jiang Youli’s gaze turned icy. As long as she knew of anyone who had harmed a child, she would not let a single one of them off!
Just then, Qi Huan’s video call came through.
The moment Jiang Youli answered, she said, “Huanhuan, I’m sorry, but I can’t video-chat with you tonight. I have to go to the City of No Night for a bit.”
…
Nine o’clock that evening, at the City of No Night.
When Yu Linglong arrived at the private room after receiving Long Yuan’s call, she discovered that Jiang Yonghe was there as well.
The heating was on in the room, so despite the bitter winter weather, Jiang Yonghe was dressed rather provocatively, wearing nothing but a sexy black spaghetti-strap dress.
Her face had basically recovered, and the scars were almost invisible.
After sitting down beside Long Yuan, Yu Linglong put down her handbag and wrapped her arms around his arm, pretending to be upset. “Ah Yuan, why is Jiang Yonghe here? You know I don’t like her!”
Long Yuan said nothing. Jiang Yonghe, however, spoke first and explained, “Yu Linglong, don’t misunderstand. I was simply taken in by Young Master Long and given a job under him.”
Yu Linglong let out a cold snort. “Did I ask you?”
Jiang Yonghe smiled awkwardly. “I was just worried you might misunderstand.”
Ever since she had killed Chen Haode and Long Yuan had covered it up for her, she had personally exposed Yu Linglong’s cooperation with Jiang Youli to him—and Long Yuan had kicked her hard in response—she had become much smarter.
When it came to Yu Linglong, she absolutely could not say too much.
Regardless of whether Yu Linglong truly had dealings with Jiang Youli, to Long Yuan, Yu Linglong was his woman. No one else had the right to interfere.
Perhaps, in Long Yuan’s mind, he was the only one entitled to deal with Yu Linglong.
Long Yuan finally spoke. “She’s here to report on her work.”
It was a very simple explanation.
“Report on her work? Ah Yuan, what kind of work is she doing for you?” Yu Linglong deliberately sounded jealous. “I don’t like her. She looks like trouble. Who knows whether she’ll try to seduce you?”
Yu Hongtu, who was sitting on the sofa opposite them, immediately spoke up, afraid that Long Yuan might be displeased. “Sis, what kind of person is Young Master Long? It’s perfectly normal for him to have a few women outside. Just sit properly, hold on to your position as his main woman, and keep Young Master Long pleased.”
Jiang Yonghe also put on an innocent expression. “Yu Linglong, you really have misunderstood. I’m no longer the Jiang family’s daughter. How could Young Master Long possibly be interested in me? I’m only willing to work like an ox or a horse to repay him for his kindness. Besides, I believe that Young Master Long only has you in his heart. No other woman could ever catch his eye.”
Li Zixuan laughed. “Jiang Yonghe, you’re so sensible it breaks my heart.”
Jiang Yonghe smiled bitterly. “I know my place. I’m no longer a wealthy heiress, nor am I Beijing’s No. 1 Talented Socialite.”
Li Zixuan couldn’t help saying, “Young Master Long, if you really don’t want Jiang Yonghe, why not give her to me?”
Jiang Yonghe still had her looks, after all. She had once been Beijing’s No. 1 Talented Socialite. Although she had fallen from grace, she was still quite suitable for a little fun.
Jiang Yonghe glanced at Long Yuan and continued in her gentle voice, “If Young Master Long has no objection, I’ll be Young Master Li’s woman from now on.”
Long Yuan looked at Yu Linglong. “Whatever.”
The smile on Jiang Yonghe’s face stiffened for a moment, but she quickly recovered. She looked completely unbothered.
She walked over to Li Zixuan and leaned into his arms. “Young Master Li, I’m your woman from now on.”
The other sycophants laughed.
“Congratulations, Brother Li, on winning yourself a beauty!”
Yu Linglong looked at all the people grinning and joking around her. She felt uncomfortable from head to toe. Every single person here disgusted her.
Li Zixuan was brimming with smug satisfaction. “Jiang Yonghe, now that you’re with me, after Jiang Youli loses our bet, I’ll have you sit on my lap and watch that shameless slut lick my shoes.”
“Really? Brother Li, that would be wonderful!” Jiang Yonghe said, feigning delighted surprise.
At that moment, the phone of Long Yuan’s assistant rang. After answering it, he leaned close to Long Yuan’s ear and said, “Young Master, the people downstairs say that Jiang Youli has come to the City of No Night. She’s asking around for Yu Hongtu’s whereabouts.”
Long Yuan’s brows knitted together. “Is she alone? Qi Huan isn’t with her?”
The assistant nodded. “Yes. Qi Huan didn’t come with her.”
Long Yuan’s eyes grew dark and unfathomable.
What exactly was this woman up to?
Did she not know that the City of No Night was his territory?
How dare she come here alone—and ask his people for someone?
Yu Hongtu had also heard the assistant’s words, and he couldn’t help being startled. “What? That shameless slut Jiang Youli came to the City of No Night looking for me?”
Yu Linglong, meanwhile, was extremely anxious.
Could Jiang Youli have come to make good on her promise to deal with Yu Hongtu?
But coming straight to the City of No Night to make a move at this hour was hardly a wise decision!
Li Zixuan was genuinely surprised. “Yu Hongtu, what did you do to provoke Jiang Youli into coming after you personally?”
Jiang Yonghe, who was leaning against Li Zixuan’s arms, grew excited.
That little bitch Jiang Youli had come to the City of No Night alone to find Yu Hongtu. Wasn’t she walking straight into a death trap?
Yu Hongtu was utterly baffled. Could this be because he had exposed the scandals involving Zhou Zerui and Chen Wang online? Just because of that, this woman had actually dared to come to the City of No Night alone in the middle of the night?
He then said, “Young Master Long, this is your turf. If Jiang Youli dares to come here and cause trouble, she’s clearly showing you no respect!”
“Let Jiang Youli come to the private room and find me. I’d like to meet this woman myself and see what she’s really capable of!”
Long Yuan instructed his assistant expressionlessly, “Tell the people downstairs that Yu Hongtu is in this private room. Then bring her up.”
