Chapter 1317: Chapter 1314: She Must Fight for Justice for Herself

"No, brother, I need to talk to you, come to your office. I really have something to discuss," Bai Wei said urgently, steeling herself for what she was about to do, ready to give it her all. She believed something shady was going on, especially on their wedding night, and she was determined to seek justice for herself and her brother.

Zi Yunsui watched her tense and panicked expression, her face darkening.

"Come to the office with me," Zi Yunsui said as she turned and walked to the office. Bai Wei followed, and once inside, the door closed automatically.

"Speak up, what’s the matter?" Zi Yunsui asked, standing beside her, looking directly into her eyes.

Bai Wei pulled an item from her jacket pocket and handed it to him.

"Brother, look at this, what is it?" Bai Wei said, biting her lip. Her amber eyes were clouded with heaviness.

Zi Yunsui looked at the item in her hand, feeling slightly puzzled. The packaging looked somewhat familiar. It seemed like he had seen it somewhere, but he couldn’t quite recall...

"You’re a girl, what are you doing with cigarettes? Trying to learn bad habits instead of good ones?" Zi Yunsui scolded her, grabbing the box and examining its peculiar packaging.

Bai Wei’s eyes turned red with urgency.

"It’s not mine, it’s sister-in-law’s," Bai Wei said quickly, fearing she’d be scolded to death by her brother if she didn’t explain.

"Hua Xiaomo’s?" Zi Yunsui asked in return, remembering. Oh, it seemed familiar. He remembered that the night she returned from a business trip, he saw her smoking alone on the terrace and accidentally burning her finger, while the same type of cigarette box was on the coffee table nearby.

Back then, her dazed state made him anxious. His first thought was that her addiction had worsened quickly in just a few days...

Could there be something about these cigarettes? How could they cause such a trance in just a few days... What kind of cigarettes are these?!

Just as Zi Yunsui was without a clue, Bai Wei’s words prompted him further.

"I found this cigarette box on the floor the morning of the second day of the wedding, in the presidential suite where sister-in-law was staying," Bai Wei recounted simply. She couldn’t shake the feeling that something was amiss. During dinner that night, observing Qi Longbing’s gaze, it seemed he hadn’t gotten over Hua Xiaomo, his face full of infatuation... How could she not be suspicious?

"What are you saying? Your sister-in-law didn’t come home that night?" Zi Yunsui snapped. Hadn’t he told her before leaving, don’t stay in a hotel alone... Hua Xiaomo, why didn’t you listen to me?

"Yes, didn’t you know? Not only did sister-in-law stay there that night, but the next morning, strangely, she fainted in the bathroom, and it was the hotel manager who came to inform Qi Longbing and me. We went over, and she was taken to the hospital, and I picked up the cigarette box from the floor in her room..." Bai Wei rambled on, her words seemingly mundane yet laced with a sense of mystery.

Zi Yunsui listened, his handsome face suddenly darkened. A sense of foreboding welled up inside.

"I’ve been back for a long time, why are you just telling me this now?" Zi Yunsui chastised. He continued, "And she fainted, why didn’t anyone call me? Whose idiotic idea was it to keep me in the dark?"

Not even finished explaining, Bai Wei was met with a scolding, leaving her feeling quite aggrieved.

"It wasn’t me, it was sister-in-law. She didn’t want me to tell you, I had no choice," Bai Wei replied. Then she pondered, deciding to share a crucial detail with Zi Yunsui. Her amber eyes darkening, Bai Wei steeled herself and spilled out all her inner thoughts, "Moreover, on the wedding night, Qi Longbing... Qi Longbing didn’t even return to the wedding room to sleep."

This revelation was like a thunderbolt. Zi Yunsui’s face turned cold.

"What do you mean?! Tell me clearly!!!" Zi Yunsui demanded, struggling to contain his anger.

Bai Wei bravely lifted her head, meeting his bright eyes directly.

"Brother, can’t you see? They definitely have an affair. I just can’t stand the shame she brings to our Bai Family," Bai Wei finally exclaimed, bottling up these words for so long, enduring the bitterness. Qi Longbing showed no affection towards her, treating her with cold disinterest, and constantly reprimanding her with family rules.

"Stop spouting nonsense—" Zi Yunsui yelled, flushed with anger.

Bai Wei didn’t dare speak further, aware that while Zi Yunsui appeared every bit the gentleman, kind and affable, his temper was something to be feared.

Zi Yunsui immediately thought of something, his face growing cold as he asked, "Besides this, did you find any other evidence?" While asking, he ripped open the sealed packaging of the cigarette box, taking out a cigarette. Glancing at it, he held it between his fingers and sniffed lightly. Hmm... This aroma was much richer than actual tobacco and carried a unique, fresh fragrance... Similar to some substance...

For many years, Zi Yunsui had assisted the police with undercover operations, cracking down on major drug kingpins, capturing Fang Tiansha, the local drug lord of City A, so he was sensitive to substances like drugs. Through these experiences, he befriended a loyal group of friends, including Dong Jing, Ding Ye, Ze Bei, police officers he’d met during those times, and now they were like brothers, sharing an unbreakable bond.

"I haven’t found anything else, but I sense there’s something wrong. On the second day after the wedding, when Qi Longbing and I returned home, his gaze was troubling, clearly still infatuated with sister-in-law..." Bai Wei said slowly, contemplating how to find concrete evidence, or simply catch them in the act, leaving them no room to deny. The thought made Bai Wei grit her teeth in anger.

Zi Yunsui listened, his eyebrows arching slightly. Still infatuated...

"Why are you only noticing now, where were you before? Why insist on marrying him?!" Zi Yunsui couldn’t help but scold her again. To be honest, he never saw any redeeming quality in that boy, and only agreed to the marriage because this girl relentlessly insisted.

"Brother..." Bai Wei called weakly, her amber eyes slightly flushed with redness, evidence of her grievance, stubbornly saying, "How could I possibly end up in such a mess, you need to help me think of a solution."

As Bai Wei was speaking, Zi Yunsui had already had the cigarette between his lips, and with one hand raised, waved twice to stop her from continuing, casually walking to the Osaka Platform, taking out a lighter, with a "bang~" the flame ignited the cigarette.
