When his wicked ex-girlfriend beckoned him, CEO Li lost control!

Lin Zhixia's lips moved, her throat tightened, and she couldn't say anything.

Li Chengyuan was giving her a chance to admit it; if she didn't say it this time, she might never have another chance.

But now that Li Chengyuan is so angry, if I were to tell him everything...

No!

Lin Zhixia didn't have that kind of courage.

She ultimately suppressed her inner impulse and said something that didn't match her true feelings.

"there is none left."

"Okay, Lin Zhixia, you said it yourself. If I find out that you're hiding anything from me in the future, you won't be able to bear the consequences."

The cold, incandescent light shone down from above, casting a suffocatingly imposing silhouette on his face. When those dark, deep eyes fell upon her, Lin Zhixia felt as if an invisible hand was gripping her throat, suffocating her.

Lin Zhixia remained silent for a long time before finally managing to squeeze out three words.

"I see."

Li Chengyuan, leaning on his cane, picked up his coat from the bedside table, turned and left.

Lin Zhixia hurriedly asked, "Where are you going?"

"I...I'm going outside for some fresh air."

The door to the ward was closed, but the sound of it closing was unusually loud in the quiet room.

She collapsed onto the edge of the bed as if all her strength had been drained, clutching her wildly beating heart, a bad feeling creeping into her heart.

The secret is about to be exposed.

Lin Zhixia considered that her staying here might make Li Chengyuan uncomfortable, after all, no one wants to see someone who is lying to them hanging around.

However, she needed to find someone to take care of Li Chengyuan right now, and after thinking it over, she could only ask Xu Yanzhou for help.

She made a phone call to Xu Yanzhou.

"Xu Yanzhou, I have something I'd like to ask you for help with."

"I was just about to call you. Have you seen the news online? Do you know who leaked it?"

Lin Zhixia sat on the hospital bed, looked up and sighed. She felt a sour feeling in her heart, a very uncomfortable and swollen feeling.

"I don't know, probably an old enemy."

In business, everyone has enemies.

"I don't think so. If they were really your parents' enemies, it would have been exposed when your parents were still alive. Now that the hype has died down for so long, they are probably targeting you."

Xu Yanzhou analyzed it for her very seriously.

Lin Zhixia frowned: "My enemies? What enemies could I possibly have? Besides, not many people probably know my background."

The original owner used to rely on being the daughter of a real estate group. Although she liked to shop, she never attended any business activities and disliked showing her face in public.

That's why, even though I've been in Beijing for so long, no one has ever recognized her.

Xu Yanzhou's voice suddenly became somewhat low: "What if... this person had already investigated your background from the beginning and was targeting you?"

Lin Zhixia's expression gradually darkened, and her hand gripping the phone tightened involuntarily, her knuckles turning white.

"If that's the case, then Li Chengyuan's identity should also be revealed very soon..."

Xu Yanzhou sighed: "I've told you about this before."

"I know, we can talk about that later. The key thing right now is that Li Chengyuan already knows my identity, but he really needs someone to take care of him. We just had a fight. Could you come and take care of him for a couple of days?"

"Sure, no problem. A-Yuan is my friend after all, and I naturally hope that you and he are doing well. Send me your address."

Xu Yanzhou agreed readily, and Lin Zhixia breathed a huge sigh of relief upon hearing this.

"Thank you so much."

"No problem, just send me the address and I'll be right there."

A dozen minutes later, Xu Yanzhou arrived at the ward, and Lin Zhixia got up.

"He'll probably be back soon; after all, he needs time to process this himself."

Lin Zhixia could understand.

"Okay, go back and get some rest. Why didn't you tell me that A-Yuan was in trouble?"

Xu Yanzhou placed some fruit and health supplements he had bought on his bedside table.

"I was busy at the time, so I didn't tell you and went back first."

Lin Zhixia took her things from the past few days and left without even sending a message to Li Chengyuan.

When Li Chengyuan returned to the ward, Lin Zhixia was nowhere to be seen.

Xu Yanzhou stepped forward and spoke gently to Li Chengyuan.

"Ah Yuan, Lin Zhixia said she's been too tired these past few days and wants to go back and rest, so she asked me to take care of you."

Upon hearing this, Li Chengyuan frowned, and his expression darkened.

"That's what she told you?"

Xu Yanzhou patted Li Chengyuan's shoulder earnestly, then helped him sit down.

"I saw the report. She didn't mean to hide this from you. You should try to understand her perspective. Now that this has been exposed, it will have a significant impact on her."

"We should think of a way to help her resolve this issue first."

"I'm not angry about anything else, I just feel that we've been together for so long, and she doesn't even give me the most basic trust. We've gotten through the most difficult times together."

"Besides, what right do I have to look down on his background? I'm just an ordinary person too."

Xu Yanzhou chuckled, "You're not ordinary, A-Yuan. You don't know this, do you? Actually, you look a lot like the second young master of the Li Group, and you even share the same name. Think about it, if you use this connection to clear Lin Zhixia's name, wouldn't it be even more influential?"

Upon hearing this, Li Chengyuan inexplicably recalled the last time he went with Yang Guang to discuss cooperation, there was a General Manager Sun who mistook him for the second young master of the Li family.

But at the time he thought he had mistaken someone for someone else, since there are very few people in the world who look alike.

He only thought for two seconds before immediately denying it: "They might only be slightly similar, how could there be two people who look exactly alike?"

"I'll show you the photos, and you'll understand."

Xu Yanzhou showed Li Chengyuan the photos on his phone. Li Chengyuan only glanced at them, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes.

"They really look alike."

"Therefore, I think we can make use of the identity of the second young master of the Li family. With his influence, as long as he is willing to come out and clarify and vouch for Lin Zhixia, I believe this storm will pass quickly."

Li Chengyuan was indeed somewhat tempted. He was just arguing with Lin Zhixia, but that didn't mean he didn't care about her.

He had just read the post as well. If this continued unchecked, it would spread throughout Beijing, and she would be utterly disgraced.

Those online trolls are no pushovers; he's seen plenty of cases where blind boxes have been opened, causing unrest and panic in homes.

In the end, they could only resort to suicide.

After hesitating for a moment, he finally agreed for Lin Zhixia's sake.

"I agree, but there's one thing: what if they find out?"

"Don't worry at all. We'll think of our wording and plan ahead to nip this in the bud before it escalates. There won't be any problems."

Xu Yanzhou patted his chest and assured Li Chengyuan.

"Okay, let's discuss the specific details."

……

Lin Zhixia had just gotten home by bus and hadn't even had a sip of water when her phone rang. It was a message from Wang Jingshan.

"Xiao Lin, our old man wants to see you. Come to the Li family's old residence at four o'clock this afternoon."

Lin Zhixia stared at the text message, her pupils suddenly contracting. The old master of the Li family wanted to see her?
