Love So Sweet

Zhang Li Xue recalled how she ran into her uncle in front of their room just now. Although she had tried her best to keep her calm, she was still a little worried that her uncle might figure out something and talk to her aunt.

However, after watching her uncle sit down and continued to have his breakfast, as usual, Zhang Li Xue began to feel more at ease.

Perhaps, she was overthinking.

Of course, she was unaware that her aunt and uncle had already discussed her matter on the phone before she arrived.

After having their breakfast, the four of them headed over to Wei Jun Hao’s friend’s firm again.

When they arrived, the lawyer was looking at a few documents in his hand. Beside him was another man that they had never met before.

Bai Qi greeted the lawyer and could not help but notice the lawyer’s change in his expression.

The lawyer quickly introduced them to the new person as the private investigator he had hired to look into what happened.

.....

The lawyer passed the documents in his hand and explained what happened.

When Wei Jun Hao asked him to help him investigate what happened to the Bai family’s business, the lawyer agreed to help. He dug into the old case and found some suspicious things. However, there were some documents that he did not have access to.

As Bai Wu Xin’s descendant, Bai Qi had the power to inquire about some matters regarding her father.

Now that the important documents were in his hand, the lawyer could finally confirm his suspicions.

Bai Qi sat up straight as he listened to the lawyer’s words. Zhang Li Xue sat beside him, holding his hand tightly as if to tell him that he was not alone.

When he decided to come to S Country, Bai Qi was already prepared for a lot of possibilities. He had already told himself that whatever it is, he would not be disappointed.

However, Bai Qi did not expect that the truth would be so heartbreaking.

According to the lawyer and the private investigator, his father was set up from the very beginning.

Initially, the company was doing very well until his father’s friend decided to betray him. Because of that, Bai Qi’s father ended up owing a lot of money, and the company almost went bankrupt.

However, Bai Qi’s father did not want to give up so soon.

After asking around, he finally got some money to pay his loan.

The company might have a chance to survive. Perhaps, after a few years, the company could return to its glory.

Bai Wu Xin had never suspected his friend and had told him about the money.

However, he was once again betrayed by this friend.

The company that promise to give him a chance to recover chose to change its mind.

No one wanted to cooperate with him or give him a chance. No matter where he goes, the door would close in his face.

Bai Wu Xin became depressed.

No one knew what he was thinking. Perhaps, Bai Wu Xin simply did not want to trouble his pregnant wife and son. After weighing his decision, he decided to end his life.

Bai Qi continued to listen to the private investigator’s words with a calm face. He had never thought that the truth would be this way.

His father was betrayed by his friend. Perhaps, even when he died, he did not know that it was his friend who had betrayed him.

“Mister Bai, we have something else to tell you,” the Private Investigator spoke.

Bai Qi inhaled a deep breath as he prepared himself. “Mister... please, just speak.”

The Private Investigator glanced at the lawyer before he spoke of what happened after Bai Wu Xin passed away.

With Bai Wu Xin dead, his trusted friend, Wen Shang took over the company. He agreed to help clear the loan and transferred the company to his name.

Everyone had thought that Wen Shang was a noble person who had taken his friend’s loan and protected the company. The Bai’s Company had now turned to Wen’s Company.

Once he took over the company, Wen Shang had quickly cleaned up every one of his moves in the company. However, even though he had cleaned up well, there were still some traces of what happened.

Years have passed and not many cared about this matter.

Perhaps, knowing that Bai Qi had left the country, Wen Shang was no longer worried that someone was going to investigate. He let his guard down and the private investigator was able to find out the truth.

After the Private Investigator had told them the story, Bai Qi was quiet for a long time.

He had never thought that the truth would be this way.

Bai Qi had thought that his father’s company was genuinely facing some problems. He had never thought that someone had set up his father and betrayed him.

Wen Shang... He seemed to recall that man.

Back then, this uncle had visited his house a few times. His relationship with his father was very good. His father seemed to trust Wen Shang a lot.

If only his father knew that Wen Shang had betrayed him, then, how would he feel?

A warm hand held his.

Bai Qi turned around and saw that Zhang Li Xue was looking at him with worry. Not wanting to let his girlfriend worry, Bai Qi flashed her an assuring smile and gave her hand a gentle squeeze.

All of the sudden, Bai Qi felt as if his heart was no longer as heavy.

Now that the private investigator had reported everything he knew, he then spoke with the lawyer briefly before he left.

Bai Qi thanked the private investigator and watched him leave.

“Bai Qi, we have another matter we wanted to discuss with you,” Wei Jun Hao spoke.

“Uncle, please, speak.” Bai Qi nodded. His brow furrowed as he readied himself to listen to more news.

“You know that the person who betrayed your father is Wen Shang,” Wei Jun Hao spoke. “I have discussed this with my friend. We believed that there is a way to bring Wen Shang to justice. But we still needed to listen to your opinion first. Bai Qi, do you want to take action against Mr. Wen Shang? My friend and I will assist you with what we can.”
