Ace of the Dragon Division Chapter 793

Chapter 793

“Xu Cheng, I don’t know if you can receive this recording. I also don’t know whether you are still alive, because if you still are, regardless of any difficulties, I know you will overcome it! The Xu Cheng I know is someone who will try to change fate if it stands in your way, and it is impossible for someone like that to not be looking for me after so long. Perhaps it is my wishful thinking. They always say you are dead, but I don’t believe it because I didn’t see your corpse. I believe that you are still alive, but it’s been so long since you disappeared. Little Dong said that you are ill and have to stay in the hospital. But I know I know that you may really be dead, and for this period of time, I’ve been not doing well purposely to show Little Dong. I think that if you were alive, they would tell you that and you would come to see me. I have been waiting, waiting for you to suddenly appear in front of me one day, to scold me, and no matter how hard you will scold me, I will look forward to that day. But I have waited for a long time, and during this time I have lost ten pounds, yet no one scolded me, no one cares about me, as if there’s someone missing suddenly. I’m not used to it and I’m always searching around for this subconsciously, yet I can’t find him anywhere no matter where I’ve looked.”
After a few moments of silence, her tone of voice suddenly became more affirmative. “Honey, if you die, I will avenge you! No matter how powerful they are, with these resources of wealth in my hands, I will die with them. I won’t die now; dying now will only benefit those who have bullied us. I will be strong, the Xu Family does not have cowards, and I will not embarrass you.”
Xu Cheng lowered his head, holding the recorder in his hands as his eyes became a little red.
Little Xue, I’m right by your side.You’re right, if I live, I’ll always be by your side, only this time that fate toyed with us, and you don’t recognize me.
Xu Cheng opened a box and took out a wedding ring; it was a pair with Lin Chuxue’s, yet he couldn’t wear it because he was afraid that Lin Chuxue would discover him, so he put it back into the box with the recorder and closed it.
That was when Bei Shan’s phone call came in.
“Did you see the news?”
“What’s wrong?” Xu Cheng asked curiously.
Bei Shan: “I don’t know if someone is making a move or I’m overthinking it. Just this morning, entertainment news outlets reported that Lin Chuxue has died, and right now, there are a lot of media and fans in the community who are concerned about this matter.”
Xu Cheng listened to him talk as he stood on the balcony looking out.
Bei Shan said, “Her former agency is getting massive amounts of calls, and the entertainment circle is discussing this every day, asking them to come out and make a statement.”
Xu Cheng: “Have you checked who brought this up?”
Bei Shan: “I checked. It’s some paparazzi from a media company, and he also was ordered by someone else over the phone to release this information. We were unable to trace down who said this to him, and not only this reporter, but many other companies also received the news. It was very sudden and now it’s difficult to stop.”
Xu Cheng said, “Little Xue did die once.”
Bei Shan: “What do you mean? Can you be direct to the point, and don’t use your aloof tone? My brain can’t work around that.”
Xu Cheng: “If she died, who would benefit the most if she’s suddenly alive again?”
Bei Shan: “You mean the Capital Society?”
Xu Cheng: “I can’t think of anyone else. It’s probably that they want to use Little Xue as a breakthrough point to get rid of me, and what I’m afraid of is that they’ll find something suspicious.”
Bei Shan: “What kind of thing?”
Xu Cheng: “You don’t know, that’s why I have to stay by Little Xue’s side to protect her.”
If the Capital Society found out that the already dead Lin Chuxue was alive and well, they would definitely look for her and capture her to examine her. Xu Cheng was not afraid if they tried to use her to threaten him, but more that they would find out that Lin Chuxue had something they wanted.
Xu Cheng said, “Little Xue cannot come out to clarify. Just tell her agency to say they haven’t been in contact for a long time, and be quiet about it.”
Bei Shan: “This will not work. She’s a living person and was also a very popular celebrity in the past. If she suddenly died for no reason, and does not come out to clarify, then there will be all kinds of speculation and it’s only a matter of time before it blows up. Although she hasn’t been active for years, her fan base will cause trouble if we don’t give them an answer.”
Xu Cheng: “This is a trap. If anyone comes out to clarify that Little Xue is still alive, then we will be falling for it. Once they know she’s alive and where she is, it will attract those who are already waiting for the opportunity. Go to her agency and tell them to say that Little Xue and her husband went on a low-key honeymoon.”
Bei Shan could only do so because they had to give the media something, or else more people would have their eyes on this; doing so would divert some attention.
After hanging up the phone, Xu Cheng went to the ladies’ unit.
That was when Shen Yao complained, “I’m so pissed. I went out shopping today, and saw a lot of news channels reporting Little Xue’s death, and they sounded very confident with all kinds of speculation and evidence. One of my colleagues even reposted it on Weibo. I was so pissed that I had a fight with her on Wechat, telling her to not to get involved if she doesn’t know anything and shut up. How could they let this rumor go on? If it was me, and someone said I was dead all day long, I would smack them with my high heels!”
“You talked to her?” Xu Cheng went in and asked hurriedly.
“Of course. Although she’s my colleague, she was over the line. Acting like she knows the truth, they were talking about Little Xue and I was angry so I told her Little Xue and I were acquainted and that we live together. However, she doesn’t believe me. She said I was bragging that I knew some famous celebrity like Little Xue, so I told her that if she dares, she could come to where I live, and see for herself that aside from Lin Chuxue, I’m also living with the most beautiful police girl who’s going to be a director-general of the police station soon,” Shen Yao said.
Both Shen Yao and Ran Jing were not clear about who was behind the scenes, so if someone was to spread rumors about their best friend’s death, then it was normal for them to be angry. Xu Cheng didn’t blame her for what she did.
Xu Cheng pondered about something.
Maybe Shen Yao’s thoughtless act had exposed Lin Chuxue’s location!
Was this group of people trying to get to him through Little Xue, or was this directed at Little Xue alone?
If they were against him, then things were not so serious, but if the target was Little Xue, then the Capital Society would have to die!
