Oops, I had a ONS With My Secret Ex-husband

Chapter 183: Chapter 183: Power

Clearly, Ji Yuanzhou’s attitude this time was somewhat aggravating.

Still, Ji Yuanzhou truly didn’t know how to face Feng Qinqin.

The words he said before still echoed in his ears—how could they meet again?

"I’ve finished eating, you both can keep eating,"

He glanced at Ji Yu and Gu Qixiao, their demeanor making him even more irritated.

Already annoyed inside, he now felt an even stronger urge to cut ties directly.

After he left, Gu Qixiao was also a bit puzzled, not understanding the other person’s motives.

Ji Yu figured Ji Yuanzhou was likely still upset over what had happened with Gu Qixiao earlier.

After finishing the meal, she didn’t forget to remind Gu Qixiao, "Don’t always worry about me."

Currently, she had no significant issues. Now that old Master Lin had passed away, even if someone wanted to stir up trouble, they wouldn’t have the ability.

"Alright." Gu Qixiao still had urgent matters to handle, so he rushed off to the company.

Although Ji Yu didn’t know what he was busy with, the next few days without any updates felt a bit odd.

Of course, Gu Qixiao hadn’t forgotten to send Assistant Li over to greet Ji Yu. "Miss Ji, our President Gu has some matters to attend to and needs to travel abroad for business. If you need anything during this time, just let me know."

Ji Yu could understand this, "No need, I don’t have anything urgent."

She was currently in a safe situation; what would she need this for?

But Assistant Li was insistent.

"Miss Ji, please don’t be modest. This is arranged by our President Gu, and he won’t let you encounter any safety issues."

Ji Yu sighed, "I really don’t need you all constantly shadowing me."

Not even a moment of free activity was allowed—besides, what purpose did such surveillance serve?

Could it be that she, in the place she knew the best, would encounter trouble?

Assistant Li also seemed helpless. "Miss Ji, as you know, the previous incident truly frightened our President. According to his orders, since something happened in such a short span before, this time we need to remain extra vigilant."

This phrasing made it sound like Ji Yu could run into trouble at any moment.

Hadn’t the previous matter already been explained thoroughly?

"You’re overthinking. I’m back home now, and old Master Lin has already passed away. What, do you think he could rise from the dead and come drag me away?"

Such notions were utterly absurd.

Yet speaking of this, Ji Yu did suddenly think of something—a few days ago Lin Wenyan had apparently tried to contact her.

"Since you insist on following me, then I’ll take you to some ’dangerous’ place."

Under Assistant Li’s puzzled gaze, Ji Yu directly took them to the police station.

"I want to see Lin Chujian."

She hadn’t yet clarified who had tipped off Lin Chujian, enabling them to locate her position at that time and sneak in undetected. Without someone’s help, she simply wouldn’t believe it.

In truth, Lin Chujian didn’t want to see Ji Yu either. "What are you here for? To revel in my misfortune?"

"I’m certainly not here to revel in your misfortune. I just want to ask you—who leaked the information?"

She knew Lin Chujian wouldn’t willingly stay in the police station indefinitely.

"Don’t you want to go back and keep fighting for the inheritance? You’ve put in so much effort all this time, and now it’s all gone. Don’t you feel regret?"

Of course, she regretted it.

She hated it with all her heart but remained utterly powerless. Lin Wenyan’s influence had quietly swallowed up all her allies.

"You and Lin Wenyan have a partnership, don’t you? Do you really believe you’d help me? Do you think I’m that naive?" She sneered coldly, thinking Ji Yu’s actions at the moment were making a mockery of her.

"You’ve misunderstood me. I certainly don’t see you as naive. I simply think your current behavior is unfathomable. Do you honestly believe I’m your adversary?"

Who was the actual adversary—couldn’t one discern that?

Perhaps Ji Yu’s words were indeed hard to catch the meaning of, even Assistant Li couldn’t understand why Ji Yu would say such things.

"Think hard about it yourself. You’re in a situation now where you’ve lost everything. Between continuing the fight with Lin Wenyan and enduring your current state, which is more painful? I’ll wait for your answer."

She kept her smile, but Lin Chujian felt as though Ji Yu knew everything—as if she considered every consequence no matter the decision.

"Ji Yu... do you know everything?"

"What could I possibly know? I only want to find out who’s trying to harm me. That simple question—you should be able to answer, right? If you tell me, you’ll get to leave this place. Isn’t that a good deal?"

"You’d really let me out?" She looked at Ji Yu skeptically, suspecting her of deliberately coaxing her into revealing the truth.

"If you believe it, it’s true. If you don’t, it’s false. Besides, you have nowhere else to turn, right?" Ji Yu held absolute control over the situation.

Lin Chujian had no opportunity to choose another path.

Someone in her circumstances was destined to walk the path Ji Yu had laid out.

The room fell silent for a moment.

Lin Chujian couldn’t think of anything to say—perhaps she truly regretted her actions, leaving her feeling resentful now.

"I can tell you, but honestly, even I’ve never met this person. I only know the messages they sent were all accurate and all connected to you."

She harbored resentment toward Ji Yu and couldn’t control herself when she saw the information, leading her actions down this path.

Looking back now, the other party seemed deliberately intent on provoking her. noveldrama

"Didn’t you find it odd at the time?"

Judging by this description, it was obviously intentional.

Moreover, this person was likely someone familiar with the situation, though Ji Yu couldn’t pinpoint that person for now.

"I don’t know who they are, so can you let me out now?" She was desperate to leave this dreadful place—it was torture.

Ji Yu was consistent with her word. "Since I said you’d be released, I won’t go back on my promise. After leaving, you’d better not come after me again. Also, today is old Master Lin’s funeral."

That was her final hint.

After resolving the matter, she left the police station with Assistant Li.

Assistant Li continued to wear a perplexed expression.

"Why did you decide to help Lin Chujian? If I recall correctly, you seem to have a closer relationship with Lin Wenyan."

Wasn’t this aiding the enemy?

"Who do you think orchestrated this whole affair?" Ji Yu didn’t answer the question, instead countering with one of her own.

Assistant Li hesitated to respond, but judging by Ji Yu’s demeanor, she seemed to already know who it was.
