Chapter 371 Liu Cheng and Su Xi Have an Affair

Only Feng Jue's eyes flickered slightly, his expression unfathomable.

Wu Yaoyao was only shocked for a moment before focusing all her attention on Su Xi, watching her get closer and closer to the room, where she would soon be forced to have a cesarean section.

Absolutely brilliant.

Liu Cheng jumped with great skill, clearly a seasoned skydiver.

The place where he landed was exactly where Su Xi and the side room were separated.

Therefore, the bodyguards escorting Su Xi had to stop temporarily and wait for Brother Biao to land before escorting Su Xi to the C-section.

When Su Xi saw Liu Cheng, her eyes flickered, and she subconsciously lowered her gaze, avoiding his eyes.

My servant follows my master.

Feng Jue has changed; Liu Cheng is probably here to see her make a fool of herself.

Liu Cheng glanced at Su Xi, but she lowered her head. All he could see was the woman's hairy head and her flawless white nape.

Liu Cheng didn't think much of it. While quickly packing his parachute bag, he asked the bodyguard next to him in a familiar tone, "Where are we going?"

The head bodyguard didn't try to hide anything and respectfully recounted the events quickly.

"What?!"

Liu Cheng could hardly believe his ears after hearing this, and the parachute he had just packed fell to the ground with a "thud".

Judging from Su Xi's calm demeanor just now, it seemed as if she was going to a private room to have coffee and relax. Unexpectedly, she was forced to have a cesarean section and was even asked to jump off a cliff to pay for her life.

This is practically a dead end.

She didn't even give me a pleading look.

I really don't know whether to say she's as gentle and unassuming as a chrysanthemum, or as simple-minded as someone who's clueless.

Liu Cheng looked at Su Xi abruptly, but all he could see was the woman's hairy head and the white nape of her neck.

It's as if everyone's rushing to the Bridge of Helplessness to drink Meng Po's soup.

If he hadn't seen the woman's trembling fingers caressing her belly with such reluctance, he almost would have believed it.

He then suddenly looked at his boss. Through the large floor-to-ceiling window, his boss remained as aloof and superior as ever.

Liu Cheng almost laughed out of anger.

Others might not know, but he knew his master was the most hypocritical of all. Was he planning to go through a nightmare trying to win back his wife?

Moreover, the big boss firmly believes that the child in Su Xi's belly is Feng Jinchen's.

But he vaguely suspected it might be his own boss.

Well, you watch your beloved woman and their child die with an air of superiority and aloofness. You're so noble, so impressive.

He really wanted to kowtow to his boss; you truly are the grandmaster of stubbornness.

Seeing that the bodyguards were already pushing Su Xi to continue walking forward, Liu Cheng didn't have time to think and quickly stepped forward to pull Su Xi back.

Suddenly, a large hand grabbed her sleeve. Su Xi paused, then finally looked up at Liu Cheng.

Her brows were slightly furrowed, indicating her confusion, but her eyes were filled with a deathly stillness and utter despair.

She shook off Liu Cheng's hand that was pulling at her sleeve. "Assistant Liu, are you trying to make a fool of myself?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Cheng immediately wanted to kowtow to Su Xi as well, and quickly said,

“Miss Su, now is not the time to act rashly. I don’t believe you pushed the old man off the cliff.”

No matter what huge secrets lie behind this, as long as you tell me, President Feng will stand up for you.

Upon hearing this, Su Xi frowned even more deeply, and even showed some impatience.

Did the master and servant not rehearse the script? Or was Liu Cheng deliberately making fun of himself?

Feng Jue has changed a long time ago. Is Liu Cheng still stuck in the 2G era? This is the special assistant to the president of a prestigious listed company, how could he be?

So Liu Cheng was deliberately making fun of himself.

Su Xi didn't want to talk. She bypassed Liu Cheng and walked straight towards the private room, as if she were going to her death.

Liu Cheng's crying was more of a grimace than his laughter. He quickly grabbed Su Xi, pleading, "My dear aunt, please don't make things worse!"

Before Su Xi could speak, the head bodyguard noticed something amiss and frowned.

"Assistant Liu, are you trying to kidnap him? This is an order given by the old lady herself, and President Feng has also tacitly agreed."

The "President Feng" he was referring to was naturally Feng Jue. As for Feng Jinchen, with Feng Jue around, who did he think he was?

In front of Su Xi, Liu Cheng was almost as strong as steel, but the moment he turned to look at his bodyguard, he immediately became a tough, resolute man, and said solemnly,

"It was President Feng who asked me to investigate the old man's affairs. Although we haven't found the old man yet, we have found the surveillance footage."

"It's not too late to deal with Su Xi after reviewing the surveillance footage; perhaps things will take a turn for the better."

Upon hearing this, the bodyguard paused for a moment, then gave a look to his teammate.

The team member immediately turned around and ran back to the main hall to report what had happened.

Upon hearing that there was video evidence, Wu Yaoyao was instantly startled, and the hairs on her body stood on end.

She wasn't stupid. Before doing this, she had people carefully and repeatedly check that there was absolutely no surveillance in the temple.

Those who cultivate themselves are noble and yearn to return to simplicity and authenticity; they have no interest in surveillance.

Why are surveillance cameras suddenly appearing again? Isn't this deceiving worshippers?

The temple abbot is quite old; isn't he afraid of ruining his reputation in his later years?

That two-faced old woman, she really got her killed this time.

Wu Yaoyao's heart pounded wildly in fright, and she wanted to run away as fast as she could.

But she still held back.

If there is any surveillance footage, she will say that Su Xi drugged her, and that she was delirious and pushed the old man off the cliff without knowing what was happening.

Su Xi, that woman, has something on her hands, so she definitely wouldn't dare disobey her.

Despite these thoughts, Wu Yaoyao was still somewhat restless, and with trembling hands, she sat down on the armchair beside her.

She glanced at Feng Jue, and as she had imagined, he remained unmoved.

She then looked at the old lady.

The old lady frowned. Since Liu Cheng had brought the surveillance evidence, he must have already seen the footage.

If the surveillance footage proves Su Xi's innocence, given Liu Cheng's personality, he would directly drag Su Xi into the main hall to confront her.

Now, however, the statements are ambiguous, clearly indicating that the surveillance footage cannot prove Su Xi's innocence.

Liu Cheng is just stalling for time.

So the old lady said coldly.

"Let Liu Cheng in."

As for Su Xi, she was immediately put on the operating table.

If the video proves her innocence, she will be released; otherwise, she will undergo surgery immediately.

Upon hearing this, Wu Yaoyao's eyes darted around.

This won't do. If the video shows her pushing the old man, and if Su Xi wasn't there, where will she threaten Su Xi?

That idiot Su Xi, she only needs one look from her to be able to control her.

If Su Xi were assigned to the operating table in the side room, she would be like a skilled cook without ingredients.

So Wu Yaoyao coughed and gently advised, "Grandma, if Su Xi doesn't see the evidence with her own eyes, she probably won't be at peace even if she dies."

It is said that those who die unjustly will become vengeful ghosts, their spirits never settling down.

I think we should let Sister Xi come over. She can die willingly, Grandma. What do you say?

The older generation strongly believes in the cycle of karma. Upon hearing this, they immediately changed their minds.

Soon, Su Xi was brought in.

She was still very excited when she heard that there was new evidence, and her eyes lit up again.

But then she thought the same as the old lady: if Liu Cheng had evidence to prove her innocence, given his personality, he would have said it directly.

This is just stalling for time, giving her more amusement.

Or did Liu Cheng really think Feng Jue would speak up for her? Don't be ridiculous.

It seems Liu Cheng's time as special assistant has come to an end; he doesn't even understand the big boss's intentions.

Having figured out these key points, Su Xi felt utterly hopeless again.

Returning to the main hall again would only result in being humiliated once more.

This also proves once again that Feng Jue was truly cold and heartless towards her.

So Su Xi simply let herself go and found a chair nearby to sit down, only lowering her head and stroking her stomach.

Her time is running out.

Spend as much time as you can with your baby.

As for the noise and chaos outside, it was no longer her concern.

Liu Cheng walked straight up to Feng Jue and whispered a few words to him.

Upon receiving the instructions, Liu Cheng ordered his subordinates to set up a projector in a second and then put the video evidence on it.

There were indeed no surveillance cameras on the entire mountain, but Liu Cheng had searched the area where the old man fell into the sea so thoroughly that he finally managed to find a civilian surveillance camera.

Although the surveillance footage was from a distance and somewhat blurry, it captured the moment the old man fell into the sea.

On the large projector, a video was playing of a tiny black dot falling into the sea.

After some simple technical processing, the small black dot was magnified, and its clothing almost certainly confirmed that it was the old man.

Moreover, his figure and face have been almost completely restored, and he is indeed the old man without a doubt.

The old lady's eyes immediately filled with tears.

But she dared not blink.

I wanted to see if there was any further evidence, but there wasn't!

Everyone was stunned.

"Gone?" The old lady couldn't believe it.

Liu Cheng nodded. "That's all."

This time, everyone was completely stunned.

Even Feng Jinchen began to have doubts about Liu Cheng's mental state.

This guy must have been drinking fake alcohol.

First, he jumped out of the helicopter without saying a word.

Then they kept claiming to have evidence, but all they found was a short video of the old man going into the sea. Concise and to the point.

It should only take three seconds, no more.

Everyone knew that the old man had fallen into the sea, so this surveillance was not only redundant but also brought back the old woman's sadness.

The more upset the old lady is, the more severe the punishment will be for Su Xi.

A sudden flash of inspiration struck Feng Jinchen. He "understood" that Liu Cheng wanted Su Xi and her son to pay with their lives.

What a vicious heart.

Sure enough, the old lady witnessed her husband of several decades helplessly and sadly fall into the sea, and her heart was torn apart.

She glared at Su Xi, wishing she could pierce Su Xi's belly and throw the child inside her off the cliff as well.

Su Xi was usually oblivious to what was happening around her, but when she heard a chorus of boos, she couldn't help but look up and saw the tragic moment when the old man fell into the water.

Regardless of whether the old man was good or bad, or how badly he treated her, in the video, he was just an elderly man in his eighties.

With his white hair and emaciated figure, he looked like an ant, helpless and forlorn as he was swallowed by the surging sea, which moved her deeply. A pang of sorrow gripped her heart.

After all, the old man was Feng Jue's father.

Feng Jue was determined to believe that she was the one who pushed the old man into the water.

So, Feng Jue's ruthlessness towards her at this time should be understandable, right?

So for a moment, Su Xi even felt a little forgiving and understanding towards Feng Jue. But it was only half and half.

After all, if Feng Jue had even a shred of genuine affection for her, he should have known something was amiss and suspected she was innocent.

However, he did not.

Meeting the old lady's sinister gaze, Su Xi could only smile bitterly, say nothing, and lower her head.

The only person present who had any other emotion besides confusion was probably Wu Yaoyao.

After all that, it turns out to be just this insignificant piece of evidence.

Then what is she afraid of?

So Wu Yaoyao's legs stopped shaking, she stopped being afraid, and she regained her strength.

She immediately stood up from her chair, went over to help the old lady, massaged her shoulders, and whispered words of comfort.

"Grandma, don't be sad. If Grandpa knew you were so sad, he would be sad too."

The old lady patted Wu Yaoyao's hand and said, her voice choked with emotion, "Good child."

Taking a deep breath, she looked at Liu Cheng, "Liu Cheng, are you just making fun of everyone? Or are you having an affair with Su Xi?"

Liu Cheng was terrified.

His eyes were almost entirely white.

After a moment of hesitation, she quickly said, "Grandma, you're all just worried and confused. You only see the surface of the video, you only know one side of the story, not the other."

What?

Wu Yaoyao's hands trembled as she massaged the old lady's shoulders, and they immediately turned icy cold. She stared intently at the large screen.

Everyone turned to look at the big screen.

Except for the sealed jade pendant,

And of course, there's Su Xi.

These two people seemed to be isolated from everyone else, as if they lived in different worlds. They were indifferent to everything that happened to them, completely immersed in their own world.

No one seemed to notice anything amiss in the video, so they all turned to look at Liu Cheng.

Liu Cheng explained, "It's the video's time. The time recorded on it shows the exact time the old man fell into the water."

The old lady frowned. "So what?"

Liu Cheng glanced at his boss. Although he was speaking to everyone, his words were actually a reminder to Feng Jue.

Liu Cheng said, "If Miss Su wasn't at the cliff edge when the old man fell into the sea, does that mean someone else pushed him into the sea?"

The room fell silent for a moment after he said that.

Liu Cheng only looked at his own big boss.

Feng Jue remained expressionless and made no further comment.

Liu Cheng's expression was one of utter disbelief. He was clearly heartbroken, like a deeply worried father.

He glanced at Su Xi again.

Su Xi had clearly given up and given up. She didn't say a word, but simply lowered her eyes and gently stroked the pregnant woman.

Liu Cheng was practically in tears. It was truly a case of the emperor not being worried, but the eunuchs being anxious.

He misplaced his trust in both sides.

A few seconds of silence followed. The housekeeper and servants who arrived first said angrily, "Madam, Mr. Feng, when we arrived, although we didn't check the time, there was no one else there except her."

We were the first to call you to inform you. The time of the call is recorded on your phone. It was around the same time the old man fell into the water.

Therefore, Su Xi is clearly the murderer. We can't just let her escape punishment because we didn't film her committing the crime; the old man's spirit in heaven wouldn't rest in peace.

The old woman's shrewd eyes glanced at Su Xi, then at Liu Cheng, and finally her sinister gaze swept around the room before she spoke in a cold, menacing tone.

"Although the law stipulates that innocence is presumed, that doesn't apply to me. Su Xi is the murderer."

Liu Cheng, you're trying to use these underhanded tricks to exonerate Su Xi?

Could the child in her belly be related to you?

Liu Cheng, “...Huh?”

Su Xi, the person involved, is clearly not in the service area.

Feng Jue had obviously muted his microphone as well.

The goal of only Liu Cheng being injured was achieved.

No, he's like an unkillable cockroach.

Liu Cheng immediately moved step by step toward Feng Jue, whispering a reminder in a voice only the two of them could hear.

"Mr. Feng...Mr. Feng, don't you have anything to say?"

Feng Jue finally raised his beautiful peach blossom eyes, his gaze as cold as shattered ice.

"Am I free?"

Liu Cheng was completely speechless.

Actually, when the old man had his accident, the big boss and he were on the mountain, near the temple.

Moreover... and when Feng Jue received the devastating news of the old man's passing, he immediately boarded a helicopter and landed downstream in the river. Despite an immediate search and rescue operation, the old man was nowhere to be found.

These are not the main points.

The key point is that they can provide an alibi for Su Xi. Now…
