Captured Hearts: The Substitute Bride’s Gambit

Chapter 30: Chapter 30 The Ye Family Can Help You Chapter 30: Chapter 30 The Ye Family Can Help You When she was a child, every time Lin Yueqin wanted to hit her, it was her father who stopped it. Every time Lin Yueqin punished her by not allowing her to eat, it was her father who secretly gave her an egg.

Her father never hit her, and he even gave her one yuan for spending money every week.

For her, that was a substantial fortune and one of the few bright spots in her otherwise dark childhood.

Chuyi immediately apologized, “Dad, I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have doubted you.”

“It’s okay, Xiaoyi, it’s Dad who should apologize to you, I’ve dragged you down. Having me, a murderer for a father, you must have had a hard time out there.”

Tears fell from Chuyi’s eyes. The only person in this world who truly and sincerely loved her, was probably only her father.

She actually hadn’t cried for a very, very long time. Since her father went to prison, she gradually understood that tears were useless.

She said with a choked voice, “Dad, it’s me who’s useless. I’ve been investigating the case from back then, but too much time has passed, and I can’t find any useful evidence. I can’t prove your innocence, I can’t get you out.”

“Don’t cry, Xiaoyi. You have this intention, and that already makes Dad very happy. Stop looking into the case from back then. I’ve been in prison for so many years already, a few more won’t make much of a difference. Your life is just starting, you should be living your own life, don’t waste time on me,”
The more he said this, the more upset Chuyi felt inside.

She had worked so hard for many years, became a doctor capable of performing complex surgeries, and owned a large pharmaceutical company. She could save the lives of many people but was the only one unable to free her father.

“My life is already going well, Dad, don’t worry. I will find a way to prove your innocence, I won’t give up! I have a surprise for you when you get out,”
Chuyi wiped her tears and handed Shi Youjin ten thousand yuan through the prison guard, a sum that would make his life in prison a bit better.

When she walked out of the prison gate, the sky had already turned completely dark.

Besides her not-so-new Volkswagen, there was also a luxurious Rolls-Royce parked at the entrance.

Seeing her come out, the door of the Rolls-Royce opened and a person stepped out.

Chuyi was somewhat surprised, “Madam Ye? What are you doing here?”

“I am here specifically to wait for you.”

Madam Ye’s voice was soft, “I’ve already had someone check on you. You are the daughter of the murderer Shi Youjin, and over the years, you’ve been searching for evidence to exonerate Shi Youjin. You are very filial and persistent.”

Chuyi didn’t expect that the first to investigate her was not the Sheng Family, but the Ye Family.

Her expression turned cold when her father was involved, “What do you want?”

“I want to help you.”

Madam Ye didn’t mind her cold demeanor, her voice still affable, “Of course, the price is, you have to help me too.”

Chuyi turned and started to walk away, “I don’t need your help, nor will I help you.”

Madam Ye spoke leisurely, “The man Shi Youjin killed was named Du Yu, and this Du Yu worked as a family doctor for the Ye Family for a while.”

Chuyi stopped in her tracks, “What did you say?”

“It’s true.”

“But I haven’t seen anything about Du Yu working for the Ye Family in the police records!”

“Of course, you haven’t seen it, the Ye Family didn’t want to get involved in a murder lawsuit, so they erased Du Yu’s work history with the Ye Family.”

Madam Ye spoke unhurriedly, “That case happened too long ago, you can’t find out much on your own, but the Ye Family can help you.”
