The obsessive CEO's white moonlight is me

Chapter 157 Two people brushed past each other

Tell me, where is she?

The oppressive aura emanating from him enveloped his entire body, his dark pupils like unyielding ink, a serene expression flickering in his eyes.

The man opposite him sneered, "Want to know? Not so easy." He crossed his arms, his eyes defiant.

"You'd better not try anything funny."

He approached step by step, each step carrying an undeniable sense of oppression.

The surrounding air seemed to freeze in the tense atmosphere, and the temperature plummeted.

"What if I don't tell you?" Lu Fei remained stubborn, feeling disgusted by Fu Shiyue's arrogant demeanor.

"Then you will pay the price."

His voice was deep and cold, like the cold wind in winter, sending chills down one's spine.

Suddenly, he lashed out, grabbed Lu Fei by the collar, and slammed him against the wall.

"You indirectly caused her death. If you hadn't come along, we could have gotten married naturally."

Lu Fei was pinned against the wall, but he showed no fear; instead, he laughed out loud.

"Do you really think she loves you? She only married you to get rid of me; she had no other choice. It means she's no longer a person of Yunmeng. She doesn't love you at all! She's just using you!"

Fu Shiyue clenched his fists tighter, his knuckles turning white. "What do you know! Tell me, where is she?"

The three of them, Lu Fei, Ye Xingran, and Fu Shiyue, have a complex and intertwined relationship, full of exploitation and being exploited.

Ye Xingran pondered that as long as she could be with Fu Shiyue and leverage his influence, she might be able to put some restraint on Lu Fei. Although she wasn't sure if doing so would truly bring Lu Fei down, it would at least make him think twice and not dare to easily make a move against her.

However, Ye Xingran clearly underestimated Lu Fei's methods and intentions.

Fu Shiyue's feelings for Ye Xingran were not simply about using her; he loved her deeply and hoped that she could break free from her past life and start a new chapter in her life with him.

In order to protect Ye Xingran, he decided to take some measures to sever her connection with Lu Fei.

Therefore, Fu Shiyue deliberately leaked the news of their marriage. He knew that Lu Fei would definitely come to the wedding after learning the news. This was exactly what Fu Shiyue hoped for; he could use this opportunity to get rid of Lu Fei in one fell swoop, so that Ye Xingran would no longer be under his control and would no longer have to carry out those painful tasks for her.

However, to everyone's surprise, he had already secretly bribed the wedding staff and quietly replaced the wedding PowerPoint presentation with her painful past.

As those sordid past events flashed across the big screen, her heart was instantly shattered.

Those memories she tried so hard to forget are now wreaking havoc before her like demons, leaving her nowhere to escape.

The mastermind behind all of this was Lu Fei. For him, his feelings for her weren't simply love, but a powerful possessiveness. Years ago, he had found an abandoned little girl on the street, and that little girl was none other than Ye Xingran.

Back then, she was homeless, separated from her family, and perhaps cruelly abandoned.

Lu Fei felt pity for her and took her back to Yunmeng, where he raised her to adulthood.

As time went by, Lu Fei's feelings for Ye Xingran also subtly changed.

He gradually fell in love with this little girl he once knew, but the way he expressed his love was unacceptable to Ye Xingran. He always hurt her with the most vicious words, treated her in the most cruel way, and then, when she was in unbearable pain, he would tell her that he loved her.

This capricious behavior caused Ye Xingran great distress.

What made her even more desperate was that Lu Fei told her that she could never get rid of Yunmeng, and she could never get rid of him.

His possessiveness was like an inescapable net, binding her tightly and robbing her of her freedom and dignity.

Lu Fei sneered, "Even if I knew, I wouldn't tell you. I'd be happy to see you suffer."

"Let me tell you, don't get too cocky. She's not with me, you know? She fell into the sea and died a long time ago. You'll never see her again!"

Fu Shiyue laughed angrily, "Do you think I'd believe that? She couldn't possibly be dead."

After saying that, he tightened his grip, making it difficult for Lu Fei to breathe.

He pulled out a pistol, its dark muzzle pointed directly at Lu Fei's head, as if a bullet would whistle out at any moment.

"You're the one who caused her disappearance!" His voice was cold and trembling slightly. "If you hadn't sabotaged things, how could she have died?"

These words struck Lu Fei like a bolt from the blue.

He froze, his body stiffening instantly as if his soul had been ripped away.

The hands that had been struggling desperately fell limply as if they had lost all their strength.

Images began to flash through Lu Fei's mind—everything he had done to her. He remembered how he had bribed the staff to expose her past to everyone without reservation.

Those unbearable memories were like sharp blades, relentlessly piercing her heart.

And she, the once gentle and kind woman, under such provocation, chose the most resolute way—to commit suicide by jumping into the sea.

Lu Fei was filled with regret and self-blame. He could not forgive himself for what he had done, nor could he face the cruel reality before him.

"It was my fault..."

Lu Fei's eyes were vacant as he muttered to himself, "It's my fault that she died..."

Guilt overwhelmed him like a surging tide, his face filled with pain and regret.

His former stubbornness and arrogance had vanished without a trace, leaving only a heart full of self-blame.

He recalled Ye Xingran's helpless and desperate eyes, and all the hurt he had caused her. Each memory was like a sharp blade, piercing his heart.

"But I can't let her leave me, she's dead..."

His love for her was deep and passionate, yet the way he loved her was unbearable. His love was like a raging fire, burning too intensely for her to bear.

"I'm sorry, Aran..."

He pointed Fu Shiyue's gun closer to himself, pulled the trigger, and a hole appeared in his head.

Fu Shiyue was surprised that Lu Fei would suddenly commit suicide. He let go of Lu Fei's hand, and Lu Fei's body fell heavily to the ground. Blood gushed out from the gunshot wound in his head and spread across the ground.

Afterwards, Fu Shiyue put away his gun, feeling no joy, only endless sorrow.

He knew that even if Lu Fei was dead, Ye Xingran might not still be alive.

The trail to Ye Xingran's whereabouts has gone cold...

Just as Fu Shiyue was filled with despair, a sudden, sharp pain struck his heart like lightning. It was an indescribable piercing pain, as if an invisible hand was tightly gripping and kneading his heart.

Meanwhile, back home a thousand miles away, Bai Wei suddenly felt a sharp pang of heart palpitations. She clutched her chest as if she'd been punched, her face instantly turning ashen.

"What's wrong, Weiwei?" Bai Yu happened to be walking by and saw Bai Wei's condition, his heart tightening. He quickly stepped forward to support her and asked with concern, "Are you alright?"

Bai Wei shook her head with difficulty, her voice trembling slightly as she said, "I...I feel like my heart is hurting..."

Seeing this, Bai Yu immediately said without saying a word, "I'll take you to the hospital right away!" He quickly took his coat off the hanger and helped Bai Wei walk towards the door.

During the day, Bai Wei usually rests at home, while Bai Yu runs an online store. Since the online store is not busy, he does not need to go out to work and can just take care of the online store at home.

In contrast, Bai Chuhua works as a security guard at an outside company, leading a leisurely and comfortable life.

"Do you remember anything?" the doctor asked softly with a smile.

Bai Wei sat in the chair, leaning slightly forward, her hands clasped tightly together, her eyes somewhat lost. She slowly shook her head and softly replied, "I didn't remember anything, but I often find myself spacing out, and some very unpleasant memories suddenly flash through my mind."

Her voice trembled slightly, as if those memories had brought her great pain.

The doctor looked at her quietly, nodded, and indicated his understanding.

"Perhaps because the previous experience was too painful, I chose to avoid remembering, so I didn't recall any specific details."

Bai Wei continued, her gaze fixed on the ground, as if those memories were hidden there.

The doctor pondered for a moment, then said, "I suggest you don't deliberately think about those painful things. If most of your memories are painful, then perhaps it's better not to think about them. Just let life go on, and don't put too much pressure on yourself."

Bai Wei looked up at the doctor, a hint of hesitation flashing in her eyes. The doctor continued, "However, to ensure your mental health, I will arrange for a professional psychologist to come in about two weeks. He will gain a deeper understanding of your situation and provide appropriate counseling and assistance."

Bai Wei nodded silently, knowing that the doctor was doing it for her own good.

Although she was somewhat resistant to counseling from a psychologist, she also understood that if she didn't address her inner issues, she might never truly escape the shadows.

On the way back, the two of them walked side by side, yet it seemed as if there was an insurmountable chasm between them.

Both remained silent, not uttering a single word; only the sound of their footsteps echoed in the quiet street.

After a while, Bai Yu finally broke the silence. He said softly, "Sometimes, life's memories are painful. It might be better not to think about them." His voice was very soft, as if he was afraid of breaking the tranquility.

Bai Yu's words seemed to freeze in the air, causing the other person to hesitate noticeably, as if he were carefully considering every word Bai Yu had said. However, despite this brief pause, the other person did not respond, but continued walking silently forward as if nothing had happened, as if Bai Yu's words had not reached his ears at all.

"Weiwei, from now on, your father and I will do everything in our power to protect you and will never let you suffer even the slightest harm." Hearing Bai Yu's firm promise, Bai Wei felt a surge of warmth in her heart, but she did not respond with words. She simply nodded slightly to show that she had heard Bai Yu's words, and then continued to walk quietly forward.

Just then, a black luxury car sped past like lightning, creating a gust of wind. The windows were tightly closed, and the man inside was expressionless, his gaze cold and icy. His deep, chilling eyes stared straight out through the car window. This chilling aura seemed to penetrate one's soul, sending shivers down one's spine.

The man slightly turned his head, his gaze passing through the car window, cold and composed, without the slightest fluctuation. He merely glanced out before quickly returning his gaze to the front, not noticing the pedestrians behind him.

And just like that, Bai Wei and Bai Yu passed by that black luxury car.

The figure walked further and further away, eventually disappearing at the end of the road...
