Chapter 72 Force Him Step by Step
Ling Tianyi glanced at Xia Youfeng and his cold face made people tremble. Although Xia Xiaoluo has not been loved by her father since she was a child, after all, Xia Youfeng was her biological father. Occasionally when Xia Jingru and Zhu Yufen bullied her, Xia Youfeng would help her. Even if Xia Youfeng’s words were ignored by Xia Jingru and Zhu Yufen, Xia Xiaoluo still remembered them.
“I’m all right now, I will leave the hospital soon.” Xia Xiaoluo’s words broke the embarrassing atmosphere.
“Oh, that’s good, then I am relieved.” Xia Youfeng stood at the door and did not dare to come in. After all, Ling Tianyi did not agree to let him in, so he dared not to act rashly.
“Um! It’s so late, you should go home and have a rest!” Xia Xiaoluo looked at Ling Tianyi’s gloomy face and knew that Ling Tianyi was still angry with the Xia family because of her incidence. She simply wanted to drive Xia Youfeng away first. If Ling Tianyi’s mood was unstable, she didn’t know what her father would suffer!
Xia Youfeng did not dare to leave, and he looked at Ling Tianyi secretly. Although Ling Tianyi was looking through the phone carelessly, he could still see Xia Youfeng.
Ling Tianyi was dissatisfied. He threw the phone on Xia Xiaoluo’s bed and walked to Xia Youfeng, in order to stop him from entering the ward.
“Boss Xia, I really want to know how you will deal with this matter.” Ling Tianyi asked directly. It was true that Xia Jingru intended to murder Xia Xiaoluo. Originally, he wanted to wait for a while and listen to Xia Xiaoluo’s idea. But now Xia Youfeng came to the hospital, and he didn’t want to let him go so easily.
Xia Youfeng was a little nervous. In fact, he prepared a lot of excuses before he came. But under the powerful atmosphere of Ling Tianyi, his brain was blank and he didn’t know how to answer it.
“Xia Youfeng!” Ling Tianyi shouted loudly. Xia Youfeng was frightened and shivering.
Xia Xiaoluo was afraid that Ling Tianyi would beat Xia Youfeng like he has beaten Fang Ruichen, so she quickly got out of bed and stood between them. “Dad, you may go home first! There is nothing to do here.”
Ling Tianyi pulled Xia Xiaoluo back and put her behind him. He stared at Xia Youfeng and continued to ask, “Say something! Do you want to shield your elder daughter?”
“No… No. Manager Ling, you misunderstood me.” Xia Youfeng was so frightened that he turned pale with cold sweat. Even it was cool in the hospital, there were still beads of sweat on his forehead.
“Misunderstanding? What did I misunderstand? Your wife took your elder daughter to Macau. Isn’t that your arrangement?” Although Ling Tianyi didn’t speak loudly at this time, his anger in the tone and his cold face still made people tremble.
“No, they…they… go… on their trip to Macau as they had planned to. They really did not…not run away!” Xia Youfeng began to stutter and his whole body was trembling.
“Oh! It was a planned trip. It’s so strange! It is not a holiday. Your daughter is absent from school and travels with your wife. You really teach your daughter well! Since it was planned, did they plan when to come back? Ling Tianyi asked in a sarcastic tone. Xia Youfeng’s dishonesty made Ling Tianyi even angrier.
“Well… um… soon, they will be back soon! Studying is very important! When Jingru comes back, I must take her to apologize to Xiaoluo!” Xia Youfeng wiped the sweat on his forehead with his cuffs again.
“Soon? One year or two years? Compared with studying or settling down abroad, it is not a long time.” Ling Tianyi stared at Xia Youfeng with a cold face and angry eyes.
“No, they will come back soon, in half a month at most.” Xia Youfeng scolded the two stupid women in his heart. As long as Xiaoluo was out of danger and they begged Xiaoluo, Ling Tianyi would not care too much. However, when they ran away, Ling Tianyi would surely investigate the matter thoroughly and would not let Xia Jingru go. He must bring his wife and daughter back together as soon as possible in order to cover up his lies.
“In other words, even if you bring your vicious elder daughter back, how can you let her apologize to Xiaoluo? It is not enough to say ‘I’m sorry’.” Ling Tianyi continued to ask. Xia Jingru almost killed his little wife, he hoped to tear her apart and he would never forgive her easily.
“Manager Ling, they are sisters after all. It’s common for sisters to fight with each other, although it is more serious this time. But after all, they are biological sisters, they will soon be able to reconcile as usual. Of course, this time Jingru did something wrong. When she comes back, I will teach her a lesson and let her never dare to do it again.” Xia Youfeng said. He knew that Ling Tianyi would not agree, so he directly said to Xia Xiaoluo behind Ling Tianyi, “Xiaoluo, what do you think?”
“Me?” Xia Xiaoluo was stunned. Ling Tianyi was afraid that Xia Xiaoluo would agree with Xia Youfeng and forgive Xia Jingru. So, he said hurriedly, “Xiaoluo has entrusted me the full power to deal with this matter. Xiaoluo, right?”
“Ah?” Xia Xiaoluo was stunned again and then nodded, “Yes.”
Ling Tianyi patted Xia Xiaoluo’s head with satisfaction. His little girl was still clever and did not make him embarrassed.
“Xia Youfeng, I warn you. Even Xiaoluo is soft-hearted, she will not forgive you. Xia Jingru’s matter and your problems are not solved yet and I won’t let you go easily. I have always wondered why the Control Room in your community caught fire just when I asked you to watch the surveillance videos. Is it a coincidence?” Ling Tianyi’s words almost scared Xia Youfeng to death.
Xia Jingru’s affairs had bothered Xia Youfeng much, but he could also say that his daughter was too young and she was ignorant to judge the seriousness of the matter. However, if Ling Tianyi knew that he burned the Control Room deliberately, he would not let him go because he concealed it and delayed the rescue time deliberately. It was not a small crime!
“Manager Ling, it was really an accident!” Xia Youfeng blurted out and instinctively exculpated himself.
“That it was an accident or not can’t be decided by you and me. No one knew whether it was an accident or not without a thorough investigation. I have ordered my staff to investigate it. Everything must be proved with enough evidence. I tell you that I have the evidence that Xia Jingru framed Xiaoluo, and the fire in the Control Room was under investigation. I think if someone set the fire maliciously, even if he was careful enough, there would always be traces left behind. You care about yourself then!” In fact, Ling Tianyi was sure that it was Xia Youfeng who set the fire, but he still wanted to find the evidence and put it in front of Xia Youfeng to see how he could explain it.
“Manager Ling, I really don’t know how it happened!” Xia Youfeng still had excuses. He destroyed all the evidence. He believed that even if Ling Tianyi’s staff were alert and resourceful, they would not be able to find anything.
“I am very uncomfortable to see you, go away now! But remember, if Xia Jingru does not return to A City in fifteen days, I will not bear anymore.” Ling Tianyi said coldly.
“Yes, yes! They must be back soon! Manager Ling, then I won’t bother you and I go back home first.”
“Xiaoluo, take care of yourself. I will come to see you some other day!”
Xia Youfeng left the hospital. He must find his stupid wife and daughter and let them back as soon as possible. Otherwise, they are really in big trouble.
Xia Xiaoluo was uncomfortable, she was silent all the time.
“What’s wrong? Darling!” Ling Tianyi took Xia Xiaoluo in his arms sitting on the luxurious sofa in the ward.
“Do you feel uncomfortable when you see Xia Youfeng?” Ling Tianyi asked with concern. If he knew that Xia Youfeng would make the little girl feel unhappy, he would drive him away earlier without saying anything.
“Darling!” Xia Xiaoluo leaned on Ling Tianyi’s arms and Ling Tianyi touched her hair. “It’s okay. I will protect you and no one will bully you anymore.”
“Darling, what do you mean by those words? Did my father burn the Control Room? Does he want to shield Xia Jingru?” When Xia Xiaoluo asked this question, her heart was broken.
“There is no conclusive evidence yet, but according to my analysis, no one had this motivation except him.” Ling Tianyi said gently.
“Did he burn the Control Room before you found me, or after you found me? This is very important to me. You tell me.” Xia Xiaoluo asked. This question was very important to her.
“Before I found you. Yao Sheng and I found that you had gone to Haitang Garden and never come out. In order to save time, I called him on the way to Haitang Garden and asked him to watch the surveillance videos. But when I arrived at Haitang Garden ten minutes later, he told me that the Control Room was on fire.” Ling Tianyi was very angry at this. Because this meant that Xia Youfeng knew Xia Xiaoluo had been pushed into the well, but he still pretended not to know this, wasting a lot of time.
“I see. That is to say, at that time, he probably already knew that Xia Jingru had pushed me into the well. Not only didn’t he save me, but he even wanted me to die. Because if I died, Xia Jingru could be safe. And then no one will know who killed me.” When Xia Xiaoluo said this, she was very sad.
“But unexpectedly, I found you, and you had a recording pen which could prove everything.” Ling Tianyi said. When he thought about this, he was also afraid. If he couldn’t find the little girl, maybe he would never see her again in his life.
Xia Xiaoluo burst into tears suddenly. Although she knew that her father loved her elder sister more and only gave a little care to her occasionally. When she realized that in order to protect her elder sister, his father even chose to sacrifice her and let her stay in the dark and cold well, she felt sad and painful.
Ling Tianyi knew what Xia Xiaoluo was thinking, and he held Xia Xiaoluo tightly in his arms. He didn’t say anything and didn’t ask her how to revenge. At this moment, he just wanted to give her love and warmth. He wanted to let her know that in this world, he would care about her sincerely.
