Chapter 187 Brother, why? It's you.
“Brother, Dad has been gone for so long, and the cause of his death has still not been investigated. Do you really have to talk about these unimportant things here?”
Bai Yu frowned, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes, and looked at Fu Shiyue. He knew that Fu Shiyue had already told Bai Wei that Bai Chuhua's death was suspicious.
This fire will one day burn him, and he must find a way to divert this threatening flame.
But calm quickly returned. "I know the cause of my father's death is important; I've been investigating, but I haven't found anything..."
Fu Shiyue, standing to the side, chuckled, "Heh..."
Bai Wei looked at him, puzzled. "What's wrong with you? What are you laughing at?"
Fu Shiyue sneered and said, "I laugh at some people who know the truth but pretend to be investigating."
Bai Yu's face turned deathly pale instantly, his eyes flashing with panic for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure: "Fu Shiyue, what do you mean by this? Don't make false accusations here." Fu Shiyue crossed his arms and stared sharply at Bai Yu: "Whether I'm making false accusations or not, you know in your heart. Bai Chuhua's death is probably inseparable from you."
Upon hearing his words, Bai Wei's eyes widened, and she looked at Bai Yu in disbelief: "Brother, is what he said true? Do you have anything to do with Dad's death? You..." Bai Yu tried to remain calm and looked at Fu Shiyue: "Fu Shiyue, don't talk nonsense if you can't produce evidence. Be careful, or I will sue you for defamation."
"Whether I'm lying or not, you know best in your heart." Fu Shiyue's eyes met his.
She stepped forward, standing between the two of them like a solid wall.
Bai Wei's gaze was piercing, staring directly at Bai Yu with an undisguised questioning look.
Her eyes were filled with a longing for the truth, as well as trust and expectation in her brother.
"Brother, I hope you're not lying to me. I only believe in evidence..." Her words were simple and direct, without the slightest hesitation. Although Bai Wei's voice wasn't loud, it sounded particularly powerful in the quiet atmosphere, making it impossible to ignore.
Her face was brimming with sincerity, a pure and unadulterated honesty. Bai Wei knew in her heart that this was perhaps just a battle between two men in the business world, nothing more than a verbal exchange.
However, what is most important to her is to see solid evidence to prove the truth.
Just as the atmosphere was becoming increasingly tense, a mysterious phone call came in on Bai Yu's phone. Bai Yu glanced at the caller ID, his expression turning even more grim. He hurriedly said, "I'll go answer this call."
He then hurriedly left the scene, leaving Bai Wei and Fu Shiyue behind. Bai Wei watched Bai Yu's departing figure, her heart filled with doubt and unease.
"Why does my brother look so pale? Is something wrong?"
Bai Yu didn't come back after that; he just stood there with them, and the two men bickered for a while.
"Shi Yue, tell me, where is the evidence that my father's death is related to my brother?"
“I didn’t.” He said directly without hesitation, “But I didn’t lie to you either. When your father disappeared, Bai Yuren also disappeared. He only appeared later when Bai Chuhua was found. He is a suspect.”
Bai Wei frowned, her heart filled with conflict. She found it hard to believe that her brother would harm their father, yet she also felt that Fu Shiyue's words weren't entirely without merit. "But just because someone disappears and then reappears doesn't prove anything," Bai Wei said weakly.
"I know the evidence is insufficient right now, but I will continue to investigate. Aran, you have to believe me, I will definitely find out the truth." Bai Wei nodded gently, her eyes filled with confusion.
Just then, Bai Wei's phone rang. It was Bai Yu calling. "Weiwei, I have some business to attend to out of town and may not be back for a while. I won't give up on investigating Dad's matter. Take care of yourself." Bai Yu's voice sounded hurried.
Bai Wei was about to say something when the call ended.
“There must be something wrong with him leaving in such a hurry,” Fu Shiyue said, frowning.
Bai Wei bit her lip. "No matter what, I must find out the cause of my father's death. Whatever the truth is, I will face it." After saying that, she and Fu Shiyue exchanged a glance, their eyes flashing with determination. They decided to uncover the mystery together.
Meanwhile, in another luxurious villa, Bai Yu was on the phone with Lin Mo. "Lin Mo, Fu Shiyue is starting to suspect me. How's your situation going?"
Lin Mo sneered, "Don't worry, I've arranged everything on my end. I've tampered with Bai Chuhua's old documents, so the evidence will point to someone who's already dead, leaving no way to prove anything."
Bai Yu breathed a sigh of relief, but was still a little worried. "That guy Fu Shiyue is really troublesome. What if he keeps digging deeper?" Lin Mo was full of confidence. "He won't be able to dig anything out. I've cleaned up all the clues. You can just stay out here and wait for this storm to pass."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Mo's lips curled into a sinister smile. He knew that as long as Bai Chuhua's death remained unsolved, Bai Wei and Fu Shiyue wouldn't be able to cause any trouble, and he could reap the benefits from this power struggle within the wealthy families.
"If Fu Shiyue were so easily defeated, then the game wouldn't be fun at all..."
Lin Mo's expression shifted slightly, and a hint of smugness crept onto his lips.
Bai Wei and Fu Shiyue began an in-depth investigation. They carefully studied all the details before and after Bai Chuhua's disappearance, leaving no possible clue unchecked.
During the investigation, they discovered a document from Bai Chuhua's lifetime, in which the flow of a huge sum of money was highly suspicious, and the person who handled it was Bai Yu.
At the same time, through his connections, Fu Shiyue learned that Bai Yu had been in frequent contact with Lin Mo during the period when Bai Chuhua was missing.
This made them even more convinced that there must be a secret between Bai Yu and Lin Mo.
They decided to start with Lin Mo to see if they could find a breakthrough. Just as they were preparing to visit Lin Mo, they unexpectedly received an anonymous email containing a recording of Bai Yu and Lin Mo plotting to murder Bai Chuhua.
Upon hearing the recording, Bai Wei's hands trembled, her eyes filled with pain and anger.
Tears welled up in Bai Wei's eyes; she simply couldn't believe it.
"Brother, it's actually you..."
She and her father had been separated for many years, and their reunion had lasted less than a year. They hadn't actually spent much time together.
Just left.
"You liar..."
