Chapter 159 That light never belonged to him
"Want to know the truth?" The man leaned closer to Yu Yuetong and whispered in her ear, "Then come with me, and I'll tell you everything."
Yu Yuetong's heart pounded wildly as she looked at the enigmatic man before her, her mind filled with hesitation and inner turmoil.
"Well? Have you thought it through?" The man's tone became impatient when Yu Yuetong didn't answer for a long time.
Yu Yuetong took a deep breath, a resolute glint in her eyes. She wanted to know the truth, to know Qin Reng's purpose in approaching her, and even more so, to know what had happened to Mo Qingcheng...
“Okay, I’ll go with you.” Yu Yuetong raised her head, looked directly into the man’s eyes, and said firmly.
A triumphant smile curled at the corner of the man's lips. He grabbed Yu Yuetong's wrist, dragged her out of the villa, and disappeared into the night.
All of this was witnessed by Qin Reng, who was hiding in the shadows. He watched Yu Yuetong and the man leave, his eyes filled with anger and pain. His fists clenched tightly, his nails digging deep into his flesh, and blood flowed down between his fingers, but he was completely unaware of it...
Qin Reng felt his blood running backward.
He hid behind the bushes, the sharp branches tearing his shirt and leaving bloody marks on his arms, but he seemed oblivious, staring intently at the couple not far away.
The man was tall and imposing, with deep-set features and a cynical smile playing on his lips. Every gesture he made exuded a dangerous charm. Yu Yuetong, his nominal wife, was being held tightly by the wrist in his hand, her slender figure appearing exceptionally fragile in the night wind.
"Damn it!" Qin Reng cursed under his breath, his heart feeling like it was being squeezed tightly, a suffocating pain spreading throughout his body.
He couldn't believe that Yu Yuetong would actually go with him!
Qin Reng knew that man, or rather, everyone in the capital knew him—Mo Qingcheng, a financial tycoon who suddenly disappeared three years ago. Rumor had it that he was ruthless, cunning, and a dangerous figure who walked between the legal and illegal worlds.
But Qin Reng knew even better what Mo Qingcheng meant to Yue Tong.
He was her senior from university, the white moonlight she had kept hidden in her heart for many years, and the obsession she could not forget even after marrying him.
Qin Reng still remembered how, three years ago, after Yu Yuetong learned of Mo Qingcheng's disappearance, she searched for him at all costs, even risking her life to venture into those murky places just to get a little information.
At that time, Yu Yuetong's eyes shone with a light that Qin Reng had never seen before—dazzling, yet also blinding.
Because that light never belonged to him.
Qin Reng thought that as time went by, Yu Yuetong would gradually let go of the past and try to accept him. After all, they were already husband and wife, weren't they?
However, reality gave him a harsh slap in the face.
Not only did Yu Yuetong not forget Mo Qingcheng, but the moment he appeared, she abandoned him without hesitation and left with him.
Qin Reng felt his self-esteem had been trampled on. He felt like a clown, kept in the dark and manipulated at will.
He vowed that he would definitely win Yu Yuetong back and make that man pay the price!
Qin Reng suddenly stood up, about to rush out, but was stopped by a voice.
"Mr. Qin, what are you doing here?"
Qin Reng turned his head and saw his assistant, Secretary Li, standing behind him with a look of astonishment on her face.
"What are you doing here?" Qin Reng frowned, his tone carrying a hint of displeasure.
"I...I saw your car parked here, so I came to check," Secretary Li explained nervously, her eyes darting behind Qin Reng as if searching for something.
"I'm fine, you can go back first." Qin Reng didn't explain further. His mind was filled with the image of Yu Yuetong and Mo Qingcheng leaving, and he had no mind to care about anything else.
"But..." Secretary Li wanted to say something, but was stopped by a sharp look from Qin Reng.
"I told you, I'm fine!" Qin Reng's tone left no room for doubt.
Seeing this, Secretary Li had no choice but to shut his mouth and turn away.
Qin Reng watched Secretary Li's departing figure, a sinister glint flashing in his eyes. He took out his phone and dialed a number.
"Find me someone, Mo Qingcheng. I need all his information, the more detailed the better!"
A respectful voice came from the other end of the phone, "Yes, Mr. Qin."
Qin Reng hung up the phone, his eyes coldly fixed on the direction Yu Yuetong and Mo Qingcheng had left, a cold smile playing on his lips.
"Yu Yuetong, do you think you can escape my grasp? Let me tell you, you'll never escape in this lifetime!"
……
Meanwhile, Yu Yuetong was taken by Mo Qingcheng to a private club.
The club was luxuriously decorated, exuding an atmosphere of extravagance and debauchery, which strangely matched the dangerous aura emanating from Mo Qingcheng.
"Where do you want to take me?" Yu Yuetong asked warily. She felt that Mo Qingcheng in front of her was a stranger to her, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what was wrong.
"What? Scared?" Mo Qingcheng stopped and turned around, looking at her with a half-smile, his tone tinged with mockery.
"What do I have to be afraid of?" Yu Yuetong said, trying to appear calm, but her tone clearly lacked confidence.
Mo Qingcheng didn't speak, but just stared at her intently. His deep eyes seemed to see through everything, making Yu Yuetong's heart beat faster involuntarily.
"You..." Yu Yuetong felt a little flustered by his gaze. Just as she was about to say something, Mo Qingcheng pulled her into his arms.
"Yue Tong, it's been a long time." Mo Qingcheng whispered in her ear, his warm breath brushing against her earlobe, making her tremble.
Yu Yuetong shoved him away abruptly, her face flushed red. "What are you doing?!"
"What? After three years apart, you're so eager to sever ties with me?" Mo Qingcheng raised an eyebrow, his tone tinged with amusement.
"What nonsense are you spouting?!" Yu Yuetong was furious and embarrassed. She was now Mrs. Qin, and Mo Qingcheng was saying such things to her face. What did he mean by that?
"I'm talking nonsense?" Mo Qingxiang chuckled as if she had heard a funny joke. "Yu Yuetong, do you dare to say that you married Qin Reng not to get revenge on me?"
"Revenge?" Yu Yuetong was stunned. She didn't understand why she wanted to take revenge on Mo Qingcheng.
"What? Don't you remember?" Mo Qingcheng's smile gradually faded, and his eyes turned icy cold. "Three years ago, who was it that heartlessly rejected me for another man?"
Suddenly, some fragments flashed through Yu Yuetong's mind. They were the original owner's memories. In those memories, the original owner deeply loved Qin Reng and even rejected Mo Qingcheng's pursuit for him.
"You...you mean, I used to like Qin Reng?" Yu Yuetong asked incredulously. She felt that the plot was getting more and more melodramatic.
