Chapter 170 is all about using me.
Chapter 170 is all about using me.
Bai Wei stood silently outside the study door like a statue, everything around her seemed to stand still at that moment, even time itself seemed to freeze. She listened intently to every word coming from inside, afraid of missing a single one.
"It seems you're in cahoots with Lu Fei. What's your relationship with Ye Xingran then?"
When Bai Wei heard Fu Shiyue's question, it felt as if an invisible hand was squeezing her heart tightly, and a sharp pain struck her.
Her fingers involuntarily clenched the hem of her clothes.
The atmosphere in the room was unusually heavy, as if time itself had frozen. The person being questioned remained silent for a long while before slowly speaking. His voice was low and calm, yet it exploded in Bai Wei's ears like a thunderclap: "Bai Wei got lost back then and was taken in and raised by Lu Fei. She was renamed Ye Xingran. They were originally one person. I never trusted Lu Fei. If I had the ability back then, without his obstruction and schemes, I would have taken Weiwei away. He should have died long ago. Now that he's died at your hands, it's a fitting end."
These words struck Bai Wei's heart like a heavy hammer. She felt a wave of dizziness and her body swayed precariously.
She never imagined that she would be raised by a man named Lu Fei, and that he would even change her name.
It all felt like a nightmare, something she couldn't accept.
Bai Wei's head began to throb, and the image of Lu Fei kept flashing through her mind—the man who used to beat and scold her, yet was also gentle with her at other times. For a moment...
She saw two figures, both illusory and real, trying to calm herself down. She was getting closer to her past... She didn't know how to face this sudden truth, or how to accept her past.
"Lu Fei trained Weiwei to be a gunman, sending her out on various missions. If she failed, her only fate was either being beaten to death or imprisoned in a dark, sunless water dungeon. Days passed like this, year after year. She suffered terribly there. When she grew up, I considered bringing her back, but I hardened my heart and ordered him to send someone to approach the Fu family. That person had to be Bai Wei."
Bai Wei's legs went weak, and she almost collapsed to the ground. It turned out that her suffering over the years had been orchestrated by someone behind the scenes.
What he had always thought was a cruel twist of fate turned out to be nothing more than a meticulously planned scheme.
She felt a mix of emotions.
Bai Yu sat down calmly in the study.
"When you were with my sister before, did you fall in love with her? She also developed feelings for you during your interactions. But that's exactly what Lu Fei wanted to eliminate her from. A gunman must not have any entanglements with her target or mission. Once she does, the poison in her body will cause her great pain, and Bai Wei will be no exception."
Bai Wei's body trembled even more violently, and tears streamed uncontrollably down her face...
Listening to her brother's every word, she felt as if her life was a ridiculous farce, and she herself was the most laughable character in it all. She couldn't help but smile bitterly; she was actually desperately trying to control everything—how utterly foolish.
"Why, brother?" she asked, her voice trembling with tears.
Knowing how wicked that person is, why didn't you take me home? Why?
You're my brother! Am I just a pawn you're using?
I am your sister, not your enemy...
Bai Yu spoke quietly, appearing very calm. His face was expressionless, as if none of this concerned him.
"You bastard! Why did you do this?"
Fu Shiyue finally couldn't hold back any longer. He rushed forward and grabbed Bai Yu's collar. "You knew perfectly well that your sister was in Lu Fei's hands. He's ruthless and vicious. How could you just stand by and watch her live by his side for so many years? How could you be so at ease? How could you face your sister?"
Fu Shiyue's eyes turned incredibly sinister in an instant, and he gripped Bai Yu's collar tightly, as if he wanted to tear him apart.
Looking at Fu Shiyue's exasperated expression, he actually managed a slight smile.
The smile held a hint of mockery, yet also seemed to conceal some indescribable emotion.
He slowly began to speak, "I did this to get revenge on Bai Chuhua for opposing my relationship with Weiwei. I want him to know what it feels like to lose your beloved daughter, and to spend his life in self-blame and regret." His voice was calm, but it revealed an undeniable resentment.
Although his voice was calm, it was like the sea before a storm, seemingly calm on the surface, but with undercurrents surging beneath. That undeniable resentment was lurking beneath the calm.
Time flies, the years are like a shuttle.
All these years have passed, and he has kept his hatred for Bai Chuhua buried deep in his heart.
One day, he met Lu Fei by chance on a website, and the two hit it off immediately, co-founding the "Yunmeng" organization. Bai Yu is the founder of this organization.
At first, Lu Fei found Bai Wei on the road without knowing anything about her.
Later, when he told himself about Ye Xingran's existence...
An investigation revealed that their ages and the time they went missing matched up.
Isn't this fate's arrangement? After all the twists and turns...
Fate ultimately brought Bai Wei back to his side.
All of this seems to be predestined.
“We are not related by blood, and at first, I didn’t have any special feelings for her. However, as time went by, Weiwei changed me without me even realizing it.”
His gaze softened as if he were recalling the moments he had spent with Bai Wei.
“I used to be an extremely insecure person. But ever since Weiwei came into my life, she has been like a ray of light illuminating the dark corners of my heart. She always silently accompanies me, giving me encouragement and support.”
Bai Wei listened quietly to his story, her pupils slowly widening, her face filled with disbelief.
She never imagined that her brother would have such special feelings for her...
Those long-faded memories surged into her mind like a tidal wave. She tried hard to recall things from her childhood, but found that many details were hard to find.
However, her brother's words gave her a new perspective on some things from the past.
After a moment of silence, he spoke again:
“I am an orphan and have always been a loner. I was adopted by Mr. and Mrs. Bai Chuhua. They were very kind to me. Later, my mother gave birth to my younger sister, and they were still very kind to me and treated me as their own.”
"Because of my personality, no one wanted to play with me, except for Weiwei. She didn't look down on me; she always stayed by my side."
Bai Yu recalled that time:
"Brother, Weiwei will always be with you, until you grow up, okay?"
Xiao Baiyu nodded.
The sun was shining brightly that day, bathing them both in its light. They looked at each other and smiled...
Back in reality, Bai Yu looked at Fu Shiyue, who was grabbing his collar.
"And what kind of good person are you? You love Weiwei, yet you use her to deal with Lu Fei!"
Bai Yu sneered, "On the eve of your wedding with her, you revealed your upcoming marriage to Lu Fei. He knows that Bai Wei has already betrayed Yunmeng for your sake, so you deliberately lured him out, right? You wanted to use him to appear at the wedding to completely eliminate him, so that he wouldn't hinder your interests later and would oppose you at every turn."
"And he tampered with the screen at your wedding, showing her past. During that time, she had already left Yunmeng and was with you. Seeing all that had happened before, she naturally couldn't accept that her past was so disgusting. Unable to bear such stimulation, she ran away."
“You know perfectly well how much she suffered with Lu Fei. By using the wedding to lure Lu Fei out and try to deal with him, you're dragging her into this conflict as well. You and I are both using her.”
"If you hadn't informed Lu Fei, why would he have done this? I know she jumped into the sea later and lost her memory. You were the one who started all of this, the one who said he loved her, Fu, 'Shi, Yue,'"
Hearing these words from outside the door, Bai Wei felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar. She had always thought that Fu Shiyue truly loved her, but she never imagined that she was nothing more than a pawn in his heart.
Upon hearing this, all her lost memories came flooding back...
His past identity was not honorable; he was merely a tool of an underground organization, tasked with eliminating those who posed a threat, retrieving valuables, and then going back to confess...
Tears welled up in her eyes again, her legs gave way, and she collapsed to the ground.
The two people inside were startled by the noise. Fu Shiyue reacted and rushed out the door. Seeing Bai Wei slumped on the ground, his heart clenched instantly.
"Aran..." He had just opened his mouth when Bai Wei raised her hand to stop him.
"Brother, Fu Shiyue, I've always been just a pawn in your game..."
Bai Wei's voice was hoarse, her eyes staring blankly ahead. "So, in your eyes, I've always just been a tool." With that, she struggled to her feet.
"So, you never truly wanted to marry me. It was all a carefully orchestrated scam! This so-called marriage was just a pretext for you to use me to eliminate those who stood in your way! Hahaha, how utterly ridiculous!"
Her voice echoed in the air, filled with endless sorrow and despair.
Her face turned deathly pale, as if all the strength had been drained from her body. She clutched her chest tightly, where a heart-wrenching pain was shooting through her, as if countless hands were kneading her heart.
“I once tried every means to get close to you, just to gain your trust. And what did you do? You used me as a pawn, using me to eliminate the people you wanted to get rid of! Fine, very well! Now, our grudges are settled, Fu Shiyue…” Her words choked in her throat, tears welled up in her eyes, but she held them back.
After saying that, she seemed to lose her support and swayed as she walked towards the door.
Every step seemed so difficult, as if the whole world was against her.
However, just as she was halfway there, she suddenly felt a strange sensation in her body.
A warm liquid was slowly flowing, spreading from her abdomen throughout her body. Her brows furrowed tightly, her face grew even paler, and a fine layer of sweat appeared on her forehead.
The discomfort was almost unbearable for her; her legs gave way and she collapsed to the ground.
She coughed up blood.....
Upon seeing this, Fu Shiyue's heart leaped into his throat. He disregarded everything else and rushed forward to embrace Bai Wei. "Aran, Aran!!" his voice trembled. Bai Yu also quickly approached, his brows furrowed.
"How is that possible? The poison in her body was already cleared before, why...?"
“Lu Fei is malicious. Do you think he would give you the full antidote? He definitely only gave you half of it, not the whole thing,” Bai Yu said.
Fu Shiyue carried Bai Wei and ran outside, shouting for someone to prepare a car as he ran.
Throughout the journey, Fu Shiyue held Bai Wei tightly, his eyes filled with self-blame and worry.
Upon arriving at the hospital, the doctors immediately began emergency treatment for Bai Wei. Fu Shiyue and Bai Yu waited anxiously outside the operating room, both silent and filled with agonizing emotions.
Fu Shiyue kept blaming himself, blaming himself for taking advantage of Bai Wei and putting her in danger again.
After a long while, the operating room door finally opened, and the doctor came out. "The situation is not optimistic; a comprehensive examination is needed..."
After hearing this, Fu Shiyue and Bai Yu secretly resolved to find the antidote and save Bai Wei.
