She Asks for a Divorce Again
Chapter 244: After Leaving

Chapter 244: Chapter 244: After Leaving

Pei Yansi had guessed correctly.

When Heyu’s elevator stopped, she waited at the spot for a good ten minutes, then took the elevator back down to the lobby of the hotel.

She hailed a car from the roadside and hurried to the airport.

She couldn’t stay here any longer; every additional day increased the risk of being caught by Pei Yansi. After all, that man was unpredictable, who knew if he would change his mind in a few minutes, or a few hours.

Shen Heyu booked a flight.

When she arrived at the airport, there was still an hour until departure. She first went through the regular security check, pulling her hat low over her face for fear of being recognized.

Finally, she went to the VIP lounge, originally waiting for the plane to take off, but not long after she sat down, she heard a familiar voice calling her.

"Heyu?"

It was Lu Yi’s voice.

Shen Heyu was stunned for a moment, looked up in the direction of the voice, and indeed saw Lu Yi and his assistant appearing before her. She asked in some surprise, "Doctor Lu?"

"I thought you had already..."

She had thought he had already left. After all, even her lie had deceived Pei Yansi, but unexpectedly, they met here again.

"I was worried about you and wanted to go back with you. I heard you say it would take a couple more days, and I was planning to wait with you when I went out to extend my room, but I saw you leaving."

Lu Yi had already sat down beside her, smiled at her gently, and asked, "Are you going to blame me?"

"Why would I?" Shen Heyu sincerely shook her head.

This road wasn’t hers to dictate; why would she blame him for choosing his own path?

However, his actions did somewhat resemble stalking in the shadows.

But Shen Heyu didn’t mention it.

Some things are troublesome to bring up in certain relationships. She preferred to act as if she hadn’t noticed.

"You and President Pei," Lu Yi ventured, "did he let you go?"

Could this mean there might be a chance for him?

Shen Heyu nodded.

"He had promised me a seven-day agreement; I thought he wouldn’t keep his word."

She was curious about such a change in Pei Yansi’s behavior, uncharacteristic of his former self, but regardless, this outcome was exactly what she wanted.

"Congratulations on gaining your freedom," Lu Yi said with a genuine smile.

Shen Heyu smiled too.

Yes, she would be free from now on, but why did the thought leave her feeling empty inside? Was it because of her daughter?

Shen Heyu couldn’t figure it out.

She didn’t want to think about it anymore.

At that moment, Lu Yi asked, "What are your plans after you return to the country? Will you continue to work in Shen Jiangli’s company?"

After all, with her new life beginning, things might be different from before.

Shen Heyu responded, "I haven’t decided yet."

But in any case, she wouldn’t stay in this city. She worried that one day Pei Yansi might change his mind and come to take her back.

Yet, she couldn’t truly let go of her daughter.

Thus, she would need to see Pei Yansi one more time. To settle matters about Yuexue, she still wanted to see her daughter, not just leave her with him.

"If there’s anything you need help with," Lu Yi said, "contact me anytime."

He always said that.

Just like the last time, Shen Heyu didn’t know how to refuse, nor would she refuse this old friend. She only thought that she would soon be leaving.

Perhaps there would be no more storms.

Even if there were, she wouldn’t involve them anymore.

At the same time, Pei Yansi was still in the room, having just soothed his daughter to sleep.

He returned to the study, ready to work, when he saw Zhao Jin push the door open.

He merely glanced up at him indifferently before saying, "Have the flights back to the country been booked?"

Zhao Jin nodded, "Additionally, we’ve found out about Shen Jiangli taking action. The matter of harming Shen Fanshuang."

"How are things?" Pei Yansi asked.

"It seems that it indeed happened without Shen Jiangli’s knowledge."

Zhao Jin said, "But afterward, he must have known."

"You mean, it was unintentional?"

The difference between intentional and unintentional killing is significant. However, if Shen Jiangli knew the person’s identity after the fact, that she is Shen Heyu’s younger sister, and he still chose to remain silent, then the development of the situation would also change.

Zhao Jin nodded.

"So, he was covering for his subordinate’s blunders, wasn’t he?"

"I suppose that’s the case, otherwise there’s no reason for him to hide it from Miss Shen."

The two of them were supposed to share everything, so how could he deceive her?

Pei Yansi nodded and then asked, "Is there solid evidence?"

"Yes, we have made contact with his former subordinate just released from prison. President Pei, we can bring them to you anytime you wish."

Pei Yansi pondered for a moment before saying, "Let’s continue dealing with this after returning to the country. Arrange the travel for going back. Make sure I’m on the same flight as Miss Shen."

As for how to get Shen Heyu’s flight number, that would be Zhao Jin’s own matter.

However, as soon as he said this, Zhao Jin’s complexion changed.

"What is it?" he asked with a frown.

"Miss Shen has already left," Zhao Jin lowered his head, his voice very small as if he feared offending him.

Pei Yansi paused, puzzled, "Didn’t she just come back to open a new room?"

"She went up, and a few minutes later came down again. It must have been just... a ruse to deceive you," Zhao Jin’s voice grew fainter,

and eventually, it was inaudible.

He could already feel that the pressure around Pei Yansi was dropping lower and lower.

After a long silence, Pei Yansi let out a cold laugh, "What a clever Heyu."

To think she had played him thoroughly, and he, unwilling to yield, asked, "Is she with Lu Yi?"

Zhao Jin nodded.

The gesture was minimal, still with that careful demeanor. Based on his understanding of the president, he knew that an eruption was imminent.

Indeed.

Suddenly, a loud smack sounded.

Pei Yansi slammed the pen in his hand onto the desk, "What flight? Is there still time?"

"It’s too late... but the next flight is only half an hour after theirs."

"Arrange it immediately."

Pei Yansi sneered.

He had intended to let her go, but that didn’t mean she could deceive him at will, trick him and then run off with another man.

This was blatantly disregarding his bottom line.

Zhao Jin acted swiftly.

Before long, Pei Yansi, along with his daughter, set off, rushing to the airport for the flight back to the country.

He was definitely too late to catch up with Shen Heyu now.

On the plane, all he could think of was how he would punish Shen Heyu properly when he saw her later.

To let her know that even if he had let her go, she was still his.
