"Let’s start with Chen Rui!" Lu Qingqing chuckled, sliced a small piece of steak and put it in her mouth. Her lips moved slightly, looking very enticing: "I’ve had so dealings with Chen Rui before. I always felt she wasn’t as good as she appears on the surface."
Every ti she recalled Chen Rui’s cold, frosty eyes, Lu Qingqing felt the surrounding atmosphere drop a few degrees.
Gu Ningyue nodded: "Of course she isn’t. I’ve suffered quite a bit because of her. If it weren’t for a close call, she would have taken the position of Ling Tianyou’s fiancée."
"Oh?" Upon hearing this, Lu Qingqing’s interest piqued even further: "What did she do? Can you tell ?"
Gu Ningyue smiled faintly, now indifferent about it: "Just so tricks. A seemingly casual word could bring soone to ruins. I must say, Chen Rui is the most scheming and ruthless woman I’ve t so far. And did you know? Many years ago, the incident where Ling Tianyou was hit by a car while saving her was orchestrated by her from the start."
"What?" Lu Qingqing couldn’t believe it: "She did that? But didn’t she like Ling Tianyou? Why would she do such a thing?"
Lu Qingqing couldn’t comprehend Chen Rui’s actions. If Ling Tianyou hadn’t reacted in ti, he might have ended up not in the intensive care unit but in the morgue.
Gu Ningyue shook her head: "I don’t know, maybe she’s gone mad! Xuanxuan only confird this after overhearing her phone call; otherwise, probably no one would have believed it!"
Not to ntion Lu Qingqing, even Gu Ningyue was stunned when she first heard the news.
It’s hard to believe soone would try to end another’s life just because they don’t reciprocate feelings.
During missions, unless there’s a deep-seated grudge, people usually don’t aim to end soone’s life.
"That’s truly vicious." Lu Qingqing shuddered: "No matter how beautiful such a woman is, I doubt anyone would dare to be with her."
Gu Ningyue looked at Lu Qingqing: "Not necessarily; there are always those who are greedy for wealth and lust!" Besides, Chen Rui possesses both wealth and beauty!
"What do you want to know about Chen Rui? I can see if I know anything." After a mont of silence, Lu Qingqing raised her head to look at Gu Ningyue.
Her earnest gaze made Gu Ningyue laugh: "No need to be so serious, I just want to understand her a bit. Know your enemy and know yourself, and you can win a hundred battles without jeopardy! Besides, I’m about to get engaged to Tianyou!"
"So, tell , what do you want to know?" Lu Qingqing wasn’t curious about how Gu Ningyue knew she had investigated Chen Rui, given that with Ling Tianyou around, nothing could be concealed from him.
It’s just that once she got involved, others had no chance to.
"I want to know what Chen Rui has done behind the scenes," Gu Ningyue got straight to the point without beating around the bush: "I don’t believe that aside from work, her private life is spotless."
Lu Qingqing looked at Gu Ningyue: "You must have investigated her before I did. Why don’t you tell what you’ve found out, and if there’s anything different, I’ll add to it."
Gu Ningyue nodded: "Alright. I did investigate Chen Rui. She was in contact with a woman, but for so reason, this woman disappeared. Not even Ling Tianyou could find her trace!"
This woman was the one who gave those things to Ling Tianze last ti, inciting him to commit suicide.
"A woman?" Lu Qingqing pondered for a mont and took out her phone from her bag, showing it to Gu Ningyue: "Is it this woman?"
Gu Ningyue looked at the slightly blurry face on the screen, confirming it was the sa as the woman’s photo she was looking for, "Do you know where this woman is now?"
Lu Qingqing put away her phone with a smile: "Even if I told you, it’s no use; she’s already dead..."
Gu Ningyue was stunned: "What, she’s dead? But didn’t she..."
Before she could finish, Lu Qingqing interrupted: "She really is dead, just the day after I found her!"
Gu Ningyue looked at Lu Qingqing and asked: "How did she die?"
How could it be? In just less than half a month, how could she be dead?
"I initially found the woman sowhat strange, how an unemployed drifter ca into contact with Chen Rui," Lu Qingqing said to Gu Ningyue: "I always felt there was sothing fishy between the two, so I had soone check. Unexpectedly, later this woman went to a hospital or so place to work as a caregiver, I can’t rember. During this period, Chen Rui seed to have visited her. I thought they were good friends, so I had soone check this woman’s past again and discovered... her past had long been erased unknowingly, and shortly after, she left A City and never appeared again."
"Where did she go?" Gu Ningyue asked.
"They found her in H City; she died in a car accident." Lu Qingqing stirred her coffee and took a sip: "But I have a recording of her husband’s phone call at the hospital. I think it sounds like a conversation with Chen Rui. Tsk, this man is heartless!"
Gu Ningyue’s heart skipped a beat and she said to Lu Qingqing: "What does the recording say, can I listen to it if it’s convenient?"
Lu Qingqing smiled faintly and set down her coffee cup: "It’s nothing useful, just so monetary transactions. If you want, I can send you a copy when I get back. But if you ever use it, don’t get involved!"
Gu Ningyue nodded and agreed naturally: "Don’t worry! Absolutely not."
Lu Qingqing was just about to cut into her dish when she suddenly rembered sothing and looked at Gu Ningyue: "That woman’s workplace wouldn’t happen to be where Ling Tianze had his accident, would it?"
Gu Ningyue revealed a slight smile: "Take a guess?"
Lu Qingqing took a deep breath: "This matter, wouldn’t it also be Chen Rui’s doing?"
Though she said this, Lu Qingqing was already ninety percent inclined to believe Chen Rui was behind it.
But, what’s the point? Even if Ling Tianyou is getting engaged now, what does it have to do with Ling Tianze?
It’s not worth it! This Chen Rui is too ruthless!
Gu Ningyue ate her food and spoke slowly to Lu Qingqing: "It’s unclear at the mont, but that woman is dead, so even if it was her doing, there’s nothing that can be done about it..."
