Captured Hearts: The Substitute Bride’s Gambit

Chapter 393: Chapter 393: The Truth Behind the Car Accident Case

Sheng Tingyuan looked down at her delicate and beautiful face, his heart swelled with infinite pity and love. Today, she must be exhausted. noveldrama

Her inner strength was actually quite formidable. Today, she had been kidnapped by Shi Youjin, yet she seemed not to be panicked at all. The moment she stepped out of the Wen Family Villa, her neck was bleeding, but her expression was composed, so calm that it was heartbreaking.

Ever since he had met her, she had always been like this, as if nothing could knock her down, nor could anything shake her composure.

It wasn’t until he told her that he was the little boy who had given her the dress that she showed a strong emotional reaction.

Fate was truly strange. He could never have imagined that eighteen years later, she would return to his side in such a way, and even less so, that she would become his wife.

Sheng Tingyuan felt somewhat reluctant to go to sleep now. He wished he could keep watching her forever, for fear that she would disappear once he fell asleep.

The early morning.

Ye Chuyi’s alarm clock went off on time.

Sheng Tingyuan, once again, reached for her phone before her outstretched hand did and turned off her alarm.

Ye Chuyi sleepily opened her eyes, "Why do you always react faster than me?"

Sheng Tingyuan chuckled lightly, "Maybe it’s not that I react faster, just that my arms are longer, making it easier to reach your phone?"

Ye Chuyi, still not fully awake, grunted in response, then closed her eyes and snuggled a little longer in his embrace.

Ten minutes later, her alarm clock rang again.

Sheng Tingyuan picked up her phone and saw that she had set two alarms.

He shook his head helplessly; she truly loved her work. Fearing to be late, she had set up a double safeguard.

Ye Chuyi opened her eyes and then sat up.

She touched her neck, which still seemed to hurt quite a bit. That damned Shi Youjin left two cuts on her neck, making it difficult even to turn her head.

As this thought flashed through her mind, she realized that Shi Youjin was now truly dead.

But strangely, she didn’t feel particularly happy, and of course, she wasn’t sad either.

Shi Youjin deserved to die, and his biological daughter hastening his death was his just desserts.

Ye Chuyi shook her head and got out of bed to wash up.

Sheng Tingyuan followed her into the bathroom. He used to separate from her for their morning routines, but now, he couldn’t bear to be apart from her and had moved all his toiletries into the master bedroom’s bathroom.

Ye Chuyi didn’t want to do her morning routine without him anymore either. Washing up together seemed to be quite nice!

After having breakfast, the two of them left the house separately.

Sheng Tingyuan didn’t really want to be apart from her; he wished he could stay by her side all day. But after Ye Chuyi kissed him, she smiled, got into her car, waved goodbye, and drove off.

Sheng Tingyuan watched her car disappear, unable to move for a long while.

The assistant couldn’t help but say, "President Sheng, we should get going. You have a meeting at nine o’clock!"

Sheng Tingyuan came back to his senses and then got into the car.

During the ride, his subordinate called to report the findings from the previous night, "Young Master Ting, I’ve got the results on Wen Nianyou that you asked me to look into."

"Go on."

"She is a habitual offender, stealing and robbing as if it were nothing new. Her specialty is slandering others, ruining their reputations and lives. She’s envious of anyone who has a better life than hers, and then she goes on to destroy it."

"Half a year ago, she hit and killed a young woman with her car. I’ve checked, and this young woman once took piano lessons with the same teacher as her. The young woman’s family was not as wealthy as hers, but her talent was much greater, which made the piano teacher favor that student, even giving her private lessons."

"Wen Nianyou held a grudge in her heart, and at the beginning of this year, she encountered that woman again at a private club. At the time, she was with Qi Yunfan. Qi Yunfan chatted with that woman and exchanged contact details, and they met for meals afterward. But not long after, that woman was hit and killed by her."

"She cleaned up the scene and all the evidence very thoroughly and framed the car accident on your wife. Because Qi Yunfan testified and the evidence was insufficient, Wen Nianyou escaped legal punishment."

After hearing all this, a cold and gloomy light flashed in Sheng Tingyuan’s eyes, "Find a way to get the evidence and let her enjoy life in prison thoroughly!"
