Revenge Sevenfold-Chapter 191 He Lied To Her

Hui Yin was bored out of her mind for the past five days.

There was still no news about her brother, and Wen Zedong had not woken up. She watered her plants every day in the sunroom, and ate breakfast with Lu Shen after she woke up. At lunch, he would give her a phone call. He told her that he gave her a cellphone so that he could update her if anything important happened. But every time he called, it was only ever about trivial things.

"What are you eating for lunch?"

"I heard the female employees talking about a good drama showing in TV. You should watch it."

"Cook me dinner later."

"How was your day?"

And every time Hui Yin tried to end the conversation by staying silent, he would use an accusing tone with her and ask, "Aren't you going to ask me about my day?"

Hui Yin felt really annoyed.

It's only lunchtime, ah! You're going back to the mansion later on, so what was the point in asking? And she wasn't interested in listening to the boring things that he did at the company!

But lately, Lu Shen had stopped pestering her. She could hear him pacing back and forth in his study, talking to the phone. His voice was low, so she could not hear what he was saying. But each time he came out and accompanied her in eating dinner, there was a trace of triumph in his eyes.

"Why aren't you eating?"

The gentle voice made Hui Yin pause in the middle of picking her food with her chopsticks. Lu Shen was looking at her with soft eyes, and when she blinked, that tender expression didn't disappear. Did he eat something bad?

But Hui Yin felt that it was a good opportunity and seized it. "Are there any news about my brother?"

The smile in his lips stiffened a little, but Hui Yin didn't notice. Lu Shen continued smiling and said, "No, I still have no news about your brother."

"Oh." Hui Yin lowered her head and continued eating her food.

After their dinner, Lu Shen invited her to walk with him around the mansion. But Hui Yin refused. Lately, they had been spending more and more time together. She was not unaware of his struggle to let her go. Hui Yin firmly didn't want to lead him on, because she wanted their tangled relationship to end. While they had cleared all of the misunderstandings, it was still a fact that their relationship was complicated.

Hui Yin stayed in her room and slept early. It was getting close to July, the hottest month in Beijing. There was AC in her room, but the heat was still unbearable. Hui Yin woke up an hour after midnight, her throat dry and thirsty.

She was about to open the door when she heard the sound of brisk footsteps outside. Hui Yin paused, her hand resting on the doorknob.

Who could be awake at this hour?

Hui Yin waited for the footsteps to become inaudible before she slowly slipped off her shoes. Walking on bare feet, she went out of her room.

The guest room that she was staying in was located on the second floor. Hui Yin saw Lu Shen's figure reach the bottom of the staircase. Butler Wu was holding the doors of the main entrance wide open for him. After Lu Shen quietly walked out, Butler Wu closed the doors. Before it could fully shut, however, Hui Yin heard the low purr of a car engine.

Her heart dropped.

Hui Yin went back to her room with a pale face. She sat on the bed, thinking of Lu Shen's bizarre behavior for the past few days. The look of triumph, the constant phone calls...she had long since suspected it.

He lied to her.

He already knew where her brother was.

Yue Lao told her that she was the only one who could find the culprit because she knew him well. And it was proven true, because the culprit was her brother, Hui Jinhai. Although Yue Lao said that Lu Shen could never find him, that was only on the basis that Hui Yin hadn't spilled the beans.

But she already told Lu Shen about the Wen family!

She had given him a hint. All he would have to do was to unravel the rest of the story. She was too naive to think that Lu Shen would not suspect her brother!

Without bothering to change out of her clothes, Hui Yin put on her slippers and rushed out of the room. There was a separate exit used by the maids to get out of the mansion, and Hui Yin knew the password to the garage.

She didn't waste another second. Hui Yin jumped into one of Lu Shen's expensive cars and flipped back the sun visor above the steering wheel. As expected, there was a spare key.

Hui Yin took it and revved the engine. She came out of the garage just as the black Maybach's tail lights winked out of the driveway gate.

Butler Wu was alarmed when he saw another car driving out of the garage. The windows weren't tinted. Butler Wu immediately saw Hui Yin's side profile when he rushed over. His heart took a nosedive to the pit of his stomach.

Ahhhh! What is this Huian doing?!

"Stop!" he shouted in panic. One of his hands pounded against the driver-side window while his other hand tried pull open the door handle. But Hui Yin had already locked every door of the car and rolled up the windows.

Ignoring Butler Wu's shouts, Hui Yin released the clutch and pressed down on the accelerator. The car shot forward and made the two guards who were guarding the gate jump upwards in shock.

Hui Yin managed to narrowly slip by the closing entrance as she quickly followed the black Maybach.
