Shadow and Light: The Bride Who Clicks Her Way to Love-Chapter 467 - 480: Adventure

Su Xingyu looked at her mockingly: "Afraid? Zhuang Heng, you aren’t even worthy of making me say the word ’afraid’."

She turned her head, her small, delicate face looked at Lu Shifeng: "I won’t go underwater with that woman. She has harmed me before, and I don’t want to die an unclear death again."

With these words, many of the staff around were shocked, and someone blurted out: "What, Zhuang Heng harmed Su Xingyu before?! How is this possible?!"

Even Zhuang Heng’s face turned dark, and she said sharply: "Su Xingyu, don’t slander me! The incident at the fire scene back then had nothing to do with me!"

"Yeah, your family took the fall for you," Su Xingyu’s voice was light, her tone switching from sarcastic to disdainful, "Zhuang Heng, you even dragged your family down to save yourself. I really feel sorry for your family. With so many people here today, I’ll make things clear, the truth cannot be hidden forever, your crimes will inevitably be exposed one day."

The surrounding staff were even more agitated, they were not aware of the past event, and did not understand how Zhuang Heng was involved in that big fire.

Some people had already said: "How, wasn’t that big fire a natural disaster? How did it get linked to Zhuang Heng?"

"Was it really Zhuang Heng who set the fire? Unbelievable!"

"How can a woman’s heart be so malicious?"

"Could there be some misunderstanding?"

Everyone was talking all at once.

Su Xingyu was determined today, she looked around the crowd: "I, Su Xingyu, swear on my life here today, it was indeed Zhuang Heng who set the fire back then. She walked into my bedroom with a lighter, burned my face, and then set the fire before leaving. If I’m lying, may I go into the water tonight..."

"That’s enough." It was Lu Shifeng’s voice.

He cut off Su Xingyu’s sentence halfway, looking at Zhuang Heng: "You go underwater, as per the original plan."

Then he pulled Su Xingyu to his side: "You stay on the shore obediently, don’t go anywhere."

Su Xingyu was taken aback.

She wanted to ask him, why not let her finish her vow? Did he still not believe her?

Over there, Zhuang Heng was already pitifully saying to Lu Shifeng, "Shifeng, I really wasn’t the one who started the fire! It’s Su Xingyu who’s falsely accusing me!"

Lu Shifeng gave her a cold glance: "You have one minute to prepare, go underwater to complete the photography task first."

He was always strict when it comes to work, never allowing subordinates to mess around during work hours, and Zhuang Heng knew about this habit of his, so she grudgingly fell silent. Although, she didn’t want Su Xingyu to stay on the shore with Lu Shifeng, although, she really wanted to drag Su Xingyu underwater to find an opportunity to kill her, but at this time she dared not say more.

She lowered her head and organized her diving equipment and photography gear, looking very aggrieved.

Accompanying her underwater was a professional diving coach, who would take care of and protect her during the upcoming underwater photography session.

Zhuang Heng looked reluctantly at the shore, how she wished that the person going underwater with her could be Lu Shifeng? But Lu Shifeng was only paying attention to Su Xingyu who was staying at the lakeside, showing no intention of going into the water.

Zhuang Heng had no choice but to dive with the coach.

Su Xingyu watched their figures disappear into the water, the moonlight was shimmering on the lake, the visibility wasn’t good, and soon the two disappeared from view.

Su Xingyu was a bit worried, standing on the shore waiting for the photography results and unable to help in any way felt really bad. She looked up and said to Lu Shifeng: "Why not let me go down? Whether Zhuang Heng can take a good photo is really uncertain! Such a big matter, you shouldn’t make a decision based on your own likes and dislikes!"

Lu Shifeng looked down at her, under the moonlight, his expression was very stern: "What vow were you just making recklessly?"

She was stunned for a moment, then remembered the vow about Zhuang Heng setting the fire. Her expression turned stubborn, and she said to him: "Whether you believe it or not, it was Zhuang Heng who set the fire! Vowing or not doesn’t change the fact!"

Lu Shifeng said: "No matter if it’s true or not, you are not allowed to swear on your life."

"What are you afraid of?" she sneered, "Worried I might die? It’s been so many years, and you haven’t punished the real culprit, letting her go free and causing me trouble every now and then. If you really worry about my safety, don’t you think your current way of handling things is too naïve, Mr. Lu?"

She was angry, her small body rising and falling, just like an angry little rabbit.

He wanted to reach out and touch her head but restrained himself.

"So what do you want?" he asked her.

"What do I want?" she said.

"Regarding Zhuang Heng’s arson, I told you a long time ago, there’s insufficient evidence." Lu Shifeng told her, "And I also said, Xingyu, you don’t need to use any tricks in front of me to get what you want. No matter what your intention is behind saying Zhuang Heng committed arson, you can directly express what you want, and I will help you achieve it."

"You!" Su Xingyu was almost exploding with anger, she finally understood what he meant—

He simply refuses to believe that Zhuang Heng set the fire, thinking she deliberately slandered Zhuang Heng to achieve some purpose.

Moreover, he portrayed himself as magnanimous, suggesting that even if she lied, he wouldn’t blame her, and would be willing to grant her wishes!

This... male-chauvinist lunatic!

Su Xingyu now deeply felt that it’s truly difficult to change one’s nature, after so many years, Lu Shifeng’s stubborn personality had not changed one bit!

She almost wanted to kick him into the water, out of her sight to calm herself.

She barely held back, didn’t act on it, turned her face coldly away from him, and focused on adjusting the photography equipment she brought.

Lu Shifeng stood by quietly watching her adjust, after a while, he said: "Preparing these is useless, it’s not your turn to go underwater today."

The camera she brought was the same high-end model as the one the photographer who had the accident used, it was quite complicated to operate, some of the key positions were designed contrary to tradition, and all the parameters and positions had to be carefully handled. She was adjusting everything meticulously, today’s moonlight wasn’t good, even worse than the day the photographer had the accident, to capture the same effect required more precise operation.

After finally finishing the adjustments, she had the time to mock Lu Shifeng: "Just wait, if I say Zhuang Heng can’t achieve the best result, then she won’t."

Lu Shifeng didn’t ask where her confidence came from, in fact, although he didn’t understand photography, the fact that Hanyu Research Center chose her to assist the research instead of Zhuang Heng four years ago made him understand that his little wife’s photography skills were indeed better than Zhuang Heng’s. But that wasn’t the point, the point was he wouldn’t let her take risks.
