Chapter 948: Chapter 948: The Most Poisonous Is a Woman’s Heart
Zhang Shuying originally wanted to see Lu Gaoyi make a fool of himself and let him beco a laughingstock.
Unexpectedly, Lu Gaoyi’s nonsense made Zhang Shuying completely fall into a passive position.
Actually, this was all part of Zhang Shuying’s plan.
This was sothing Lu Gaoyi would never understand even if he died.
"I didn’t an to kill Wu Xiuchun. I regretted it right after I sent the poisoned water. I was also scared, but it was too late." Zhang Shuying believed Lu Gaoyi had seen her give the poisoned water to Wu Xiuchun, and she no longer tried to lie. Trembling with fear, she admitted, "I really didn’t want to kill anyone. I was just jealous of Wu Xiuchun’s two-faced nature. I originally just wanted to teach her a lesson, but I accidentally added too much chemical toxin to the water. I truly didn’t intend to kill."
"The old saying ’the heart of a poisonous woman’ is absolutely true." Lu Gaoyi thought to himself, then showed a pleased expression and said, "Don’t worry. Wu Xiuchun offended a lot of people. Her death is a good riddance, and you’ve done sothing bold that others dared not do. You’re courageous, and the police won’t trace it back to you."
"Really? The police truly can’t trace it back to
being the culprit?" Zhang Shuying asked with a glimr of hope.
"Of course, it’s true. I have connections in both legal and illegal circles. Handling such minor matters is a breeze." Lu Gaoyi boasted, trying to reassure Zhang Shuying with all his glibness.
Zhang Shuying, filled with joyful expectations, asked, "You can really help ? You’re not lying to ?"
"If I’m lying to you, may I be damned to Hell for eternity." Lu Gaoyi swore.
"Director Lu, I trust you. You must help , I’m counting on you." Zhang Shuying, showing her fear and vulnerability, switched from calling Lu Gaoyi by na to addressing him respectfully as Director Lu, which showed her change in attitude.
"I’m not clean, and you’re not clean. Helping you is helping myself. We’re in this together now, don’t you think?" Lu Gaoyi, suppressing his inner triumph, gently coaxed her to gain Zhang Shuying’s trust.
"Yes, yes, we’re on the sa boat now." Zhang Shuying, having lost her own judgnt, completely followed Lu Gaoyi’s lead.
Lu Gaoyi asked with concern, "Little Zhang, I don’t understand, how did you get a hold of the dirt Wu Xiuchun had?"
"Brother Lu, to tell you the truth, I was the one who anonymously threatened Wu Xiuchun to make her uncomfortable. I pretended to be her close friend, always yielding, constantly caring, just hoping to see her groveling at my feet soday. And now I finally see it. I was naturally very clear about Wu Xiuchun’s shady dealings, and taking so photos secretly was easy. The laughable part is that, even after being threatened, Wu Xiuchun still trusted
and took the leverage she had on you to her mother. I guess Wu Xiuchun’s mother scolded her harshly. In the past, when Wu Xiuchun’s mother learned of Wu Xiuchun’s vile actions, she considered suicide. With limited mobility and long-term depression, when Wu Xiuchun visited her mother for the last ti, she must have said things that upset her mother. And so, Wu Xiuchun confided in
completely, handing over the leverage that she had to ."
Zhang Shuying had placed all her hopes on Lu Gaoyi, even changing her way of addressing him.
"You didn’t also kill Wu Xiuchun’s mother, did you?" Lu Gaoyi asked tentatively.
"I don’t have that kind of capability. I suspect Wu’s mother couldn’t handle the stress after finding out about her daughter and committed suicide. For soone with depression, it’s easy to put all the bla for her daughter’s actions on herself, and perhaps suicide was a form of relief. The last ti Wu’s mother attempted suicide and was saved, Wu Xiuchun pointed at her own mother’s nose, telling her to live a lingering life. In this way, Wu Xiuchun could disguise herself as a filial daughter, which was also a thod to gain fan sympathy and increase her profits." Zhang Shuying spoke with hatred.
"I see, now that everything is clear, shall we et and talk?" Lu Gaoyi carefully revealed his primary intention.
"et? I think we should just forget about it. What if you decide to kill
to silence ? Let’s just keep so distance and maintain contact," Zhang Shuying insisted, fearing the worst.
"I think you’ve been watching too many TV dramas. In reality, how could there be such things as murder and silencing?" Lu Gaoyi said with amusent.
After much persuasion, Lu Gaoyi managed to get Zhang Shuying to agree to a private eting.
"To avoid suspicion, I’ll wait for you at Wu Xiuchun’s secret hideout," Zhang Shuying finally compromised and agreed to et.
"Wait for , I’ll be right there." Lu Gaoyi instructed happily. Yet, deep down, he brewed sinister thoughts, muttering to himself, "This Zhang Shuying is too treacherous. If I don’t get rid of her, she’ll be trouble sooner or later. Once I retrieve my leverage, I’ll get rid of you to eliminate future troubles. Being threatened by that woman Wu Xiuchun was suffocating enough; I won’t let another conniving witch threaten
again."
......
In the surveillance room, Shen Tingting, with her background as Head of the Intelligence Departnt, was diligently monitoring the calls between Lu Gaoyi and Zhang Shuying.
After Ye Fan ended his tenure as an instructor, Zhang Lu, Shen Tingting, Yang Shu, Zhang Kui, Qian Weiguo, and Gao Qiang ford a team. When Ye Fan and ngyao were in danger in Zhuhai City, it was Zhang Lu and the others who arrived in ti to drive back the enemy.
Currently, Shen Tingting was overseeing the entire situation, while Yang Shu, Zhang Kui, and others carried out their missions outside.
Ye Fan and Zhang Lu had naturally gone to have a al.
Shen Tingting sorted out the entire sequence of events, and the phone call between Zhang Shuying and Lu Gaoyi clarified all the doubts—leaving no room for questions.
"Wu Xiuchun had leverage over Lu Gaoyi. On the surface, Zhang Shuying and Wu Xiuchun seed like good friends, but in reality, they had their own agendas. Zhang Shuying forced Wu Xiuchun into a corner, and Wu Xiuchun foolishly still trusted Zhang Shuying. Zhang Shuying even wanted to make Lu Gaoyi suffer embarrassnt, but ended up being coerced by Lu Gaoyi into confessing the truth about Wu Xiuchun’s death, placing her hope for survival onto Lu Gaoyi."
Shen Tingting understood the dynamics involved, and the death of Wu Xiuchun seed ready to be solved.
As for Wu’s mother, now it indeed appeared to be a suicide—a paralyzed woman with depression who took her own life.
"We can call off the surveillance on Shen Zhengqing and Yu Zhihui now." Shen Tingting instructed Yang Shu and the other operatives carrying out tasks outside.
She initially planned to notify Ye Fan and Zhang Lu, but reconsidered and abandoned the idea, calmly saying, "I’ll take a few people to follow Lu Gaoyi, find the secret hideout where he and Zhang Shuying are eting, and personally apprehend them. There’s no need to notify those two."
