Forced to Marry a Female Billionaire CEO-Chapter 624: Li Shichuan’s Last Words

Xu Ke led Tang Yingchang, winding this way and that, following the route in his memory until they arrived at a small terrace.

Yang Qing simply followed behind him.

Watching Xu Ke's familiar movements, she tried to make small talk. "I never expected you to remember this place so clearly after all these years. That's quite impressive."

Xu Ke ignored her.

Tang Yingchang also remained silent.

Yang Qing immediately looked down, not daring to speak anymore.

Only after they stopped did Xu Ke turn his head, look at Yang Qing, and say indifferently, "Speak. What message have you brought me?"

"Xu Ke, the message was specifically entrusted to me by Li Shichuan before he died."

Yang Qing took a deep breath. "He said the information inside is enough to make the Ye Family fall apart."

Hearing this, Xu Ke laughed. "What information could be so important? Besides, if it's so vital, why didn't you give it to the Ye Family instead of me?"

Even now, Xu Ke still harbored skepticism toward Yang Qing.

With her history of transgressions, convincing him to fully trust her was a tall order.

"I don't know what the information is; I haven't seen it myself…" Yang Qing looked at Xu Ke. "As for why I didn't give it to the Ye Family, it's because I want you to let me off and give me a sum of money so that I can live a peaceful life."

Life had been miserable for her lately. She could only truly live in peace if Xu Ke stopped pursuing her.

Moreover, she had actually considered going to the Ye Family. Handing the information to them might mean a handsome reward, and they might even help her deal with Xu Ke as well.

But then Yang Qing thought better of it and decided against it.

The information Li Shichuan had only given up in his dying moments had to be a top secret for the Ye Family. If she handed it over, they might suspect she also knew the secret. What if they killed her then?

Since Sun Luo, Siao Jia, and Ye Chen had all died, Yang Qing had grown afraid. She, a commoner, dared not—and could not—enter the world of the Ye Family, the Wang Family, and Xu Ke ever again.

"You're quite greedy, Yang Qing."

Xu Ke suddenly laughed, a cold gleam flashing in his eyes. "Where do you get the audacity to bargain with me?"

"It was Li Shichuan who said it. His exact words were that as long as I brought this to you, you would agree to any of my conditions."

Seeing Xu Ke's demeanor, Yang Qing added with some trepidation, "If he hadn't told me that, I wouldn't have risked coming to find you."

At these words, Xu Ke and Tang Yingchang exchanged a glance, a hint of doubt finally appearing on their faces.

What was the message that made Li Shichuan so sure?

With that thought, Xu Ke said without hesitation, "Well, let me see it. If it's valuable, I'll let you go."

"No, you have to promise me first," Yang Qing refused.

Xu Ke sneered, "Do you want to leave Tianhai alive?"

At this remark, Yang Qing's face turned deathly pale. "You, you..."

She could feel that the killing intent in Xu Ke's words was no bluff.

Then, Tang Yingchang added, "Miss Yang, please understand. If Mister Xu wanted to deal with you, you'd already be dead. The fact that he hasn't and is willing to listen to your message is merciful enough. I hope you know what's good for you."

After he finished speaking, Tang Yingchang reached out, gripped the stone tablet on the terrace, and squeezed it lightly before letting go.

Powder scattered down.

Yang Qing's legs suddenly gave out.

...

Xu Ke had Tang Yingchang keep an eye on Yang Qing while he went into an empty classroom and took out the envelope Li Shichuan had given her.

The envelope was sealed with a strip of tape.

Xu Ke tore it open and took out the handwritten letter inside. As he unfolded it, his eyes narrowed slightly.

The letter read as follows:

"Xu Ke, by the time you receive my letter, if nothing unexpected has happened, our Li Family should no longer exist.

"Actually, I had long anticipated the outcome for Lang'er and myself.

"Ever since the day you successfully deceived the six Great Perfection masters, Li Lang revealed to me that he had volunteered to be your undercover agent. At that moment, I knew that my road as Li Shichuan had come to an end.

"Therefore, the moment you arrived in Sui City, I began to write this letter. It wasn't to flee for my life or to seek a glimmer of hope, but to ask that you take revenge against the Ye Family on my behalf.

"I didn't dare to call you directly or seek you out. I feared I wouldn't even make it out of the villa's gate before being killed by the Ye Family.

"I could only rack my brain, and eventually, I thought of my eldest son's brother, Wong Teng.

"I remember that his girlfriend, Yang Qing, was a classmate of yours. Although she had conflicts with you, she has at least left Tianhai now, so theoretically, she shouldn't be on the Ye Family's radar.

"I hope this letter can be delivered smoothly into Yang Qing's hands, and then into yours.

"And I hope that after reading this letter, you will agree to Yang Qing's terms as payment for this."

...

Reading this, Xu Ke thought to himself, So that's how it is.

Li Shichuan wasn't a complete fool. He knew the Ye Family would suspect them of being moles, especially since Li Lang had indeed betrayed them. The Li Family was certainly doomed. Therefore, before dying, he decided to entrust everything he wanted to tell me to Yang Qing. He was just hoping that she could successfully deliver it to me. And now, she had.

Xu Ke turned the page to see just how shocking the rest of Li Shichuan's message was...

...

"Xu Ke, to be honest, having you, the man who killed my son, avenge me is truly ironic, but I have no other choice.

"Only you can help me!

"And only you have the capability to do so!

"To put it bluntly, I am filled with hatred for you. There were several times I wanted to kill you, especially when I found out you had poisoned my younger son, forcing him to betray the Ye Family and pushing our Li Family to become traitors step by step. My hatred for you knew no bounds.

"Xu Ke, I know you have been plotting against us.

"But at this moment, I suddenly don't hate you anymore.

"You have never taken the initiative to target our Li Family. In the very beginning, it was only my eldest son who wronged you, which is why we became enemies.

"To be honest, we are the ones who wronged you.

"I hope you believe the sincerity of these words. A dying man speaks from the heart.

"However, not hating you doesn't mean I don't hate the Ye Family.

"I, Li Shichuan, have been loyal my entire life. From a young age, I did countless dirty deeds for Ye Yunfeng, but in the end, he treated me like a dog. Fine.

"But my two sons… how could he just turn a blind eye to what happened to them?

"By what right?! By what right?!

"Therefore, I must seek revenge.

"Xu Ke, if you have the ability, secretly get on good terms with Third Young Master Ye and tell him a very important piece of information.

"This information will definitely convince Ye Feng to help you against Ye Yunfeng."

...

At this point, another page came to an end.

Xu Ke frowned and flipped to the next page. His eyes suddenly widened, and he couldn't help but curse, "What the fuck?"

He saw that the next page clearly stated:

Ye Feng is Ye Yunfeng's biological son
