Chapter 545 - Things Aren’t That Simple

He seemed to recall something, and the corner of his lips curled up in self-mockery.

"The picture of you and Lu Yichen was posted onto the school forum and pasted onto the bulletin boards by me. At that time… I was blinded by jealousy."

At that time, his only thought was to destroy the relationship between Yin Shaojie and her so that they wouldn't hang out together anymore.

However, he was unaware of how intimate their relationship was, and he hadn't known that it was something that couldn't be town apart by his weak schemes.

"Yu Zhe…" Mu Xiaoxiao's gaze on him was complicated.

She remembered something Han Xue'er had said. Yu Zhe… liked her?

However, could liking someone cause them to hurt the person?

How was he different from Han Xue'er?

Suddenly, Mu Xiaoxiao felt as though she had never understood Yu Zhe.

She had thought he treated her as a friend.

At least, she had thought of him as a friend.

Nearby, Yin Shaojie furrowed his brows. He went straight to the point and asked, "Have you been stalking Xiaoxiao? If not, how did you get so many pictures of her?"

In that house, the policemen had found photos of him and him and Xiaoxiao together.

He had also noticed that many of the photos were taken in their condominium.

Logically speaking, Yu Zhe couldn't have known where his condominium was, right?

Yu Zhe was silent for a moment before lifting his head. He looked at them, his gaze complicated, as he said, "Actually, those photos were given to me by someone. You may not believe me though…"

Anyone would think that he was saying this to push the blame off himself.

Mu Xiaoxiao nodded. "I believe you. Tell me then, who gave the pictures to you?"

Yu Zhe looked at her, stunned. He stammered, "You… really believe me?"

He had betrayed her before.

He might even tell her that he was in a difficult position to soften her heart.

Had she not thought about this before?

Mu Xiaoxiao looked into his eyes and said earnestly, "Because I believe your words."

Because I believe that you aren't this evil.

Yu Zhe's heart was shocked. His gaze was fixed on her, and his pupils wavered with a well of feelings.

Yin Shaojie was very displeased by their display and said, spoiling the moment, "She believes you, but I still don't. Get on with it; who gave the photos to you?"

Yu Zhe paused before he shook his head. "I don't know… he only gave them to me, but he has never revealed his face before."

Yin Shaojie placed both his hands on his hips and interrogated, "What about afterwards then? Why did you help Han Xue'er? Did you approach her to kidnap Xiaoxiao?"

"No, it was that person who gave me the photograph. He contacted Han Xue'er and me. This plan was arranged by that person, so to put it bluntly, Han Xue'er and I were only pawns in the plan."

Then, Yu Zhe explained his actions.

Actually, he didn't want to do this, but the person somehow knew about his family's situation. He had needed a lot of money, and if not, his father wouldn't be able to fill the hole in their funds. They would then be cast out by their family, and their family of three would be chased out of the Yu family.

Yin Shaojie pinched his eyebrows. "So how much did the person promise you? How much money?"

Yu Zhe paused before he answered, "50 million…"

Yin Shaojie chuckled coldly, "50 million is a lot of money. That person asked you to do just that one thing for so much money?"
