After Breaking Up, I Married the Dying Tycoon in a Flash
Chapter 61: You’re Watching Me

Chapter 61: Chapter 61: You’re Watching Me

The next moment, the noisy hall was filled with Shi An’an’s voice.

"Miss Bian, I have an old item from the Bian Family in my possession, and I’d like to personally hand it to you. However, you must come see me alone. If you don’t come, I will burn it."

As her voice faded, the sound of static stopped.

Bian Yue looked around at everyone and spoke indifferently, "Is this enough to prove my innocence?"

The scene instantly grew quiet, and the reporter who had just spoken passionately now had an even redder face, stepping forward to make a final effort.

Unaware, Bian Yue took a deep breath in relief, preparing to wrap up her statement, when Kang Yu suddenly spoke up.

"In addition to that, we’ve found surveillance footage in the abandoned building, which contains the entire conversation between Miss Bian and An An."

Bian Yue looked at Kang Yu in astonishment, while Kang Yu remained calm, already signaling the staff behind him to release the video.

—It was everything said by Bian Yue after she had gone up to the rooftop, along with An An’s conversation. The parts involving the Li Family were muted, while the rest was crystal clear.

This time, the evidence was indeed irrefutable.

But Bian Yue was no fool.

In the backstage lounge, Bian Yue gripped her water glass tightly, watching the calmly standing Kang Yu, her grip on the glass tightening little by little.

Her eyes carried a hint of coldness as she looked at Kang Yu and smiled, "Assistant Kang, that was truly a stroke of genius, completely quelling the incident for me."

"I made this decision on my own. It’s not Mr. Shen’s intention. If Miss Bian has any grievances, let them be directed at me. I belong to the Shen Family, and I need to ensure there are no hidden dangers left by this incident, and that it does not affect the stock price of Lixing any further."

Kang Yu looked at Bian Yue, speaking very calmly, "Miss Bian, due to your situation, Lixing’s stock price has already been unstable once. There is some murmuring within the board of directors about Mr. Shen, and I can’t let this situation worsen."

Bian Yue understood very well.

She even wanted to praise Kang Yu for being thorough and considerate, truly looking out for Shen Jinci’s interests.

"You could have informed me in advance, and I wouldn’t have stopped you from releasing this video," Bian Yue frowned, putting down her water glass, "But you didn’t, because you didn’t know how to explain the source of the video to me."

"Now, what I want to ask is, how did this video come about? Assistant Kang, you don’t really think that I would believe your story, do you?"

Kang Yu stood still, not saying a word.

Bian Yue’s anger was rising, her words sharp, "Such a clear video, you don’t intend to tell me you don’t know where it came from, do you? Let me be straight then, was Shen Jinci spying on me?"

Kang Yu lowered his head, not looking at Bian Yue.

Bian Yue breathed heavily, unable to hold it in any longer, she knocked the teacup off the table, "I’m talking to you!"

"Yes, I’ve been watching you." From the doorway, the man’s voice was calm, deep, and pleasant to the ear.

Bian Yue suddenly looked up and saw Shen Jinci standing at the door.

He was composed, elegant and cool, acting as if nothing had happened.

Kang Yu looked towards the door in shock, blurting out, "Mr. Shen..."

"Leave," Shen Jinci interrupted Kang Yu.

Kang Yu clenched his teeth and turned to leave.

The door was closed again, and Shen Jinci squatted in front of Bian Yue, picking up the shattered cup and throwing it into the trash can, his movements graceful and steady.

"You were spying on me?"

"Yes."

"Since when?" Bian Yue’s voice trembled slightly.

"Very early on, after you married into the family, I knew everything you did, everyone you met."

Miss Bian nodded repeatedly, a hint of disappointment in her heart as she looked at his calm demeanor, "Why?"

"I don’t trust you." His reason was so simple that it stunned Miss Bian.

She was taken aback and after a long pause, she said in a low voice: "You could have told me; I wouldn’t hide anything from you. Shen Jinci, are you really afraid that I would hurt you?"

The man paused in his actions, looking up at Miss Bian with a calm gaze, his handsome face carrying a detachment, yet his voice was so light and laced with unease as he said, "Miss Bian, I’m just afraid you’ll get hurt."

Miss Bian didn’t know what to say for a moment.

She understood that the hurt Shen Jinci was talking about was genuine; he was sincere.

"You shouldn’t do this, Shen Jinci, you shouldn’t spy on me." Miss Bian stood up and walked over to Shen Jinci, crouching down to look into his calm, pond-like eyes, "Even if we are just partners, you should respect my privacy, right?"

A blush crept onto the corners of Shen Jinci’s eyes, giving his otherworldly face a strangely alluring effect.

He watched Miss Bian silently for a long time, his voice hoarse: "You’re right, I’m sorry."

This matter could be considered major or minor, but being surveilled was bound to anger Miss Bian; however, it seemed that Shen Jinci had no ill intentions.

"You knew I would be angry, so why did you allow Kang Yu to say those things at the press conference, to release that video?"

"There was a reporter in the audience who had been bribed. Just those testimonies alone were not enough to fully quell the storm. Miss Bian, I needed to ensure your safety."

Shen Jinci lifted his hand as if wanting to touch Miss Bian’s face, but quickly, he seemed to realize something and put his hand down, his emotions suppressed.

Miss Bian focused on the key point: "A reporter was bribed? Who bribed them?"

"This matter still needs to be investigated. Kang Yu only received the news at the press conference. Given the circumstances, releasing the video was the best proof for you." Shen Jinci frowned, watching Miss Bian’s face earnestly, "Miss Bian, are you angry?"

Miss Bian was stunned for a moment and then responded earnestly, "I should be angry now."

"Yes," Shen Jinci lowered his eyes, his presence becoming even more subdued as he spoke in a low voice: "You should be angry."

Miss Bian furrowed her brows, wanting to say more, but Shen Jinci has already lifted his gaze towards her.

The man returned to his usual impassive calm, and said: "I will be going abroad for some time, you should feel better not seeing me."

"Shen Jinci..."

"Miss Bian, I won’t have someone surveil you again, I promise."

On the way back, neither of them spoke.

The car window was half-rolled down, Miss Bian sat with her back towards him, staring blankly at the night view outside the window.

And Shen Jinci watched the night breeze lifting Miss Bian’s hair, his gaze deepening, his long fingers slightly raising, as though to catch her hair floating in the air.

It was as if, for an instant, time became disjointed, everything fragmented.

The first time Shen Jinci had met Miss Bian, she was only 16 years old.

At the birthday party for the Bian Family’s little princess, all the high society of Xiangjiang had gathered.

Dressed in a white princess gown, Miss Bian ran down from the twisty staircase of the second floor.

Her steps were light, a bow jumping about at her waist, her features clear and picturesque.

As she ran down, she saw a ragged boy outside the door, paused, and had someone give him some money.

She was kind and noble.

Back then, Shen Jinci’s father was still alive, standing with the Bian Family’s couple, smiling at the scene and remarking, "Miss Bian is truly a kind-hearted young lady."

Of course she was kind-hearted; she was innocent of the ways of the world, oblivious to human suffering, her eyes bright, her whole being radiated with cherished clarity.
