My Ceo Husband is Sworn Enemy

Chapter 85: 85 Seeking the Truth in Danger_1

“Your companion?”

I immediately hung up the call.

“Yes, my partner is right across in the car park. Don’t worry, as long as you don’t do anything reckless, he won’t rush over.”

After all, I’m a woman, I had to leave myself an escape route in case Little Juanmao had some wicked thoughts and tried to hurt me.

After hearing what I said, Little Juanmao ran towards the window, moved the curtain, and peeked outside.

He seemed to have noticed Shen Yishu parking in the car park, and then he returned to the couch.

Little Juanmao reminded me again,

“Turn off your cell phone! I don’t want you recording.”

“Alright, I’ll turn it off!”

Little Juanmao is more cautious than I expected.

He watched me turn off my cell phone.

“If you didn’t do it, what are you afraid of?”

“You don’t understand how powerful our boss is! If he finds out, he’ll kill us.”

“Is your boss Gu Yuanzhou?”

I was rather impatient, so I asked directly.

At these words, Little Juanmao became cautious, and he asked on the spot,

“How do you know about Gu Yuanzhou?”

It’s normal for him to question me since Song Xiaoyun is a stranger to him.

I calmly said,

“That’s none of your business. I’m paying you for information!”

I have to say, money sure comes in handy.

Little Juanmao sat on the couch, covering his head with his hands, and soon he began to spill the beans.

“The arson case, it was done by my friend!”

“Damaha?”

I asked directly.

He didn’t deny it but gave a nod,

“Yes, it’s him! He was supposed to be a good buddy of mine, I shouldn’t betray him. But now his cover is blown, we can’t stay in this country for long.”

Hearing this, I breathed quickly, after a long time of investigating, I finally found the answer.

“Why did he do such things?”

I grabbed Little Juanmao’s arm.

Little Juanmao shook his head,

“I don’t know! Damaha and I were good buddies, we used to work together at Huaxin! But after we resigned, I started delivering food for a living. I was very busy, and he would only occasionally come to drink with me…”

“So how did you know he set the fire?”

After I asked, Little Juanmao became silent again.

I immediately called Wenya to borrow fifty thousand yuan, and transferred it on the spot to Little Juanmao.

“Keep talking!”

Upon seeing the money, Little Juanmao perked up instantly. He even got a bottle of water for me.

“Miss, take a seat!”

I heeded his advice and sat down, clutching the water bottle tightly. But I didn’t open it to drink.

After all, this guy is not decent, and I wouldn’t drink water offered by a stranger.

Little Juanmao seemed unstable.

His cell phone suddenly rang, he picked up the call, and argued with the person on the other line for quite a while.

After he finished arguing, he threw the phone aside.

“Damn it, I quit!”

It seemed to Little Juanmao that the three hundred thousand yuan was waving at him.

Indeed, this money would be enough to allow him to lounge around comfortably for several years.

He took off his delivery jacket and threw it aside. Then he sat down, lit up a cigarette, and began to elaborate in a calmer voice.

“Last month, Damaha came to see me for a drink, and he got drunk and cried for a long time. He said… he had done a terrible thing. He said he was short of money and so he decided to steal some valuable items from a rich family. He carefully planned everything, pretended to be a repairman, and broke into the house when the child was having a birthday party. After entering the house, during the theft, a child noticed him… He was afraid that the child would call the police, so he immediately covered the child’s mouth and nose. To his surprise, he used too much force and killed the child. In order to cover up his wrongdoings, he decided to release a great deal of gas from the stove, and then set it on fire…”

Little Juanmao’s narrative was disjointed.

I was left astonished and shaken by his words.

Because for me, each detail is an agonizing pain, like a dull knife stabbing in my heart.

Every time I hear about the details of the arson case in Golden Bay,

This pain reawakens in my heart.

It’s as if I’ve been through hell once again.

This painful feeling made it impossible for me to think clearly for a while.

To avoid losing my composure in front of Little Juanmao, I decided to leave ahead of time.

Just as I was about to leave, Little Juanmao asked,

“I’ve told you everything, when will you give me the rest of the money?”

I glanced at him impassively,

“Remember what you said! Tell all this to the judge in court, and you’ll get the rest of your money.”

Feeling as though he’d been tricked, Little Juanmao immediately stepped in front of me.

“No way, I won’t appear in court. If I testify, I’ll be betraying my friend. Damaha would kill me if he knew.”

I was furious,

“What sort of friend is he? A fugitive who has the blood of three people on his hands, do you still dare to consider him as your sworn brother? Aren’t you afraid that one day his knife will be pointed at your head?”

Little Juanmao was taken aback. During the moment when his mind wandered, I managed to break free.

Realizing the risks of making a deal with such a person, I hastily ran towards the opposite side of the road.

He seemed to chase after me, but at this time Shen Yishu, noticing my danger, immediately rushed over from his car.

He sprinted over to me in a few strides,

“Are you alright?”

I looked back at Little Juanmao.

Little Juanmao stared at me with a dark look in his eyes for a long time, before he stepped back.

“I’m fine. Let’s get in the car.”

Once in the car, I immediately started the engine and sped away from the scene with Shen Yishu.

The car was over the speed limit all the way…

It wasn’t until we reached a deserted place in the suburbs that I hit the brakes hard, then jumped out of the car and ran.

I stood on a nearby embankment, desperately taking deep breaths. I felt my heart pounding violently and I felt suffocated… it was an unbearable feeling…

“Xiaoyun, what happened?”

Shen Yishu was worried about me and followed me.

“Uh, can we not talk about it?”

“Okay.”

I sat on the ground without uttering a word.

It was like this from daytime until nightfall, and Shen Yishu, true to his word, did nothing but quietly sit by my side.

As though he was the perfect guardian.

“Shen Yishu, you don’t have to stay with me.”

He gave me a shy smile, “I’m worried that some bad people might harass you. It’s alright, I have nothing to do this afternoon anyway.”

I nodded and organized my thoughts carefully.

I found some holes in Little Juanmao’s story.

Did Damaha go to the villa in Golden Bay to steal?

But clearly nothing valuable was lost at the scene…

Besides, Damaha used to be under Gu Yuanzhou’s commands. Even if he’s stupid, he wouldn’t steal from his boss’s house, right?

Although I have my doubts, it seems that this is the closest possible explanation to the truth so far.

Because the scene of the accident matches with Little Juanmao’s account.

I turned my head to look at Shen Yishu,

“Could you call the police for me? We’ve found the real culprit!”

“Really? Who is it?”

I told Shen Yishu everything that Little Juanmao had revealed to me.

After listening, Shen Yishu agreed with my viewpoint, so he immediately dialed the police.

However, after making this call, he immediately turned to look at me, “There’s trouble!”
