Chapter 604: Betraying his own son

Xi Yaohua was covered in bandages, wrapped up like a mummy. Wherever there was a wound, it was covered. But from Xi Yaohua’s head to his toes, everything was covered tightly.

Even his face was covered, including the eyes. Only his two nostrils were exposed, and a tiny slit was opened around his mouth so he could breathe. It could be seen that even his face was severely burned beyond recognition.

How could his eyes be covered too? Were his eyes burned too?

While Cai Jingyi was on the way, she did not expect Xi Yaohua’s burns to be so severe! Looking at his state, it was unknown whether his surviving was a good thing or not. Xi Yaohua was fighting for his life and was in agony.

Even if he escaped death, he would live in agony. The pain of the skin being burned and of the rehabilitation.

It was possible that he would not need rehabilitation. His whole body had been destroyed.

Just by looking at Xi Yaohua, they could feel his pain. Once Xi Yaohua woke up, they did not know whether he could bear this agony. Would he think that it was better to die? Cai Jingyi almost cried tears of blood.

The ICU ward could not be entered at will, so Cai Jingyi guarded the entrance.

Luckily, she still had some common sense and did not fight with Xi Bingyu in the hospital. However, in her heart, she resented Xi Bingyu.

Although it was Xi Yaohua who first mentioned killing Qin Muran, he was her son and she understood him too well. Xi Yaohua always talked big. He said that he could, but if he was asked to take action, Xi Yaohua would not have the courage. There must be people supporting and pushing him, forcing him to do it, and only then would he do it.

And Xi Bingyu was the person who was supporting and pushing him. Since Xi Yaohua was young, it was Xi Bingyu who had pushed him to do these cruel things, forcing him to do them. If Xi Bingyu had not talked about burning Qin Muran, which had not allowed Xi Yaohua to go back on his word... although Xi Yaohua was cruel with his words, in reality, he would never do such a dangerous thing. Xi Yaohua loved himself.

Xi Bingyu went to the office and only Cai Jingyi was there.

Cai Jingyi was disappointed by the heartlessness of Xi Bingyu. Xi Yaohua was already in this state, but he was still in the mood to go to the office and take care of his work.

Could the company not survive without him a few days? If so, whenever he went on a business trip, why did the company not go into any trouble?

Cai Jingyi was utterly disappointed. Xi Yaohua was in trouble! Xi Bingyu’s own son! But in his eyes, there were only benefits.

That night, Xi Bingyu came to the hospital from the office. Just as he reached there, he received a call.

"What? How did I get found out?" Xi Bingyu’s expression changed drastically. His face froze.

After pausing for a while, Xi Bingyu said, "If they investigate you, keep your mouth shut about this!"

"So you tell them..." Xi Bingyu gave Cai Jingyi a glance and walked a few steps to the corner impatiently before saying softly, "Tell them that Yaohua overrode me and asked you to rent that house. You don’t know what’s the use of that house as well.

"As you don’t know anything, Yaohua has not told you about what he wanted to do. You just rented the house, so this is not related to you at all. Even if something really happened, I will definitely give you benefits," said Xi Bingyu softly.

He had to make his assistant feel at ease first, then he promised him benefits.

The assistant also knew that he only went to rent a house. He actually had no responsibility. And he indeed had just gone to rent a house. As for what the house was rented for, he did not know. After all, Xi Bingyu could never tell the assistant such a huge thing like using fire to kill someone.

The assistant called mainly because he did not know what he should say. He did not know if he should say that he was ordered by Xi Bingyu. If he gave Xi Bingyu away, he did not know what would be the consequence for him. Now, he heard Xi Bingyu giving clear instructions to talk about Xi Yaohua straight away. So the assistant was finally relieved. Since it was ordered by Xi Bingyu, it had nothing to do with him.

Xi Yaohua had gotten into trouble. The sample house that was rented went up in flames and exploded, and Qin Muran died in the fire and subsequent explosion.

From that, the assistant knew that the intention behind renting this sample house was probably to kill Qin Muran. During that time, the assistant froze.

He only wished that the police would not investigate him. He did not expect that he would not be able to avoid it. So, the assistant came to inquire of Xi Bingyu.

Xi Bingyu’s words were as good as a confession. It made the assistant confirm his own guess. Since it was Xi Bingyu who made him rent this house, this meant that Xi Bingyu knew what Xi Yaohua would do from the start. Xi Bingyu was considered an accomplice.

He did not expect that Xi Bingyu would betray his own son to protect himself. Xi Yaohua killed someone and he deserved it. However, the action of Xi Bingyu betraying his own son to save himself still shocked the assistant. The assistant was horrified as he listened. He did not expect Xi Bingyu to be so cruel.

The assistant could not help but feel afraid. Xi Bingyu just betrayed his son straight away. He did not even blink. He was just a puny assistant; Xi Bingyu might betray him because of something.

While the assistant was still in the call, he was already thinking about resigning. It was so terrifying. The assistant did not dare to work for him anymore.

Xi Bingyu still did not know what his assistant was thinking, and he said to the assistant, "No need to mention me. I don’t know anything, and you don’t know anything too. You knew nothing about Yaohua’s plans."

"C... CEO," said the assistant, full of uncertainty. "Is this appropriate?"

Xi Bingyu knew that the assistant was not sure whether they could just betray Xi Yaohua like that. After all, Xi Yaohua was Xi Bingyu’s son. He could not just sell him out at will. The assistant was afraid that Xi Bingyu was just testing him.

Xi Bingyu said, "This is what I said. You don’t have to worry. You also know that Yaohua has been injured beyond recognition. We don’t even know if he can wake up. You can just push all the responsibility to Yaohua. If Yaohua doesn’t wake up, the police can’t do anything to him either."

"Even if he wakes up, he will be severely injured and won’t be able to even move in bed. He won’t even be able to recover fully. It’s uncertain whether he will be able to get off the bed. He’s already paralyzed. Will he still go to jail?" Xi Bingyu had thought it through.

It was also good that Xi Yaohua was in this state. He could just push everything to Xi Yaohua. Anyway, in Xi Yaohua’s current state, he would not be able to serve his sentence.

Or else, it would be really troublesome if Xi Yaohua backed out completely after he succeeded, and the police started to investigate them.

Hearing what Xi Bingyu said, the assistant knew that Xi Bingyu meant what he said.

"Fine, I know what to say now," said the assistant, then he hung up.

After Xi Bingyu hung up, his expression was plain. After returning to Cai Jingyi, he did not mention this to her.

Cai Jingyi looked at Xi Bingyu, full of doubts. "What is it? I heard it. What did you get found out for?"

"Nothing, it’s work," said Xi Bingyu unclearly.

"It’s not about Qin Muran’s case?" Cai Jingyi looked at Xi Bingyu, full of suspicion.

If this was before, Cai Jingyi would not have doubted Xi Bingyu’s words. However, she witnessed the heartlessness of Xi Bingyu today. So, she really doubted Xi Bingyu’s words, not believing him.

"Of course not," said Xi Bingyu immediately, frowning. "What are you suspecting?"

Cai Jingyi pursed her lips. Of course, she suspected that Xi Bingyu betrayed Xi Yaohua for his own sake. Cai Jingyi showed her thoughts on her face. Surprisingly, Xi Bingyu did not try to come up with excuses.

Given what the assistant said, combined with the bloodstain on the remains of his pants, Xi Yaohua was a huge suspect. As long as Xi Yaohua was not awake, he could not be questioned.
