Gu Ningyue never thought Chen Rui would act so quickly. Now that this woman is dead, the only evidence left is that recording and the woman’s husband.
Gu Ningyue looked at Lu Qingqing and asked, "Is that woman’s husband still in City H?"
Lu Qingqing shook her head, "I’ve looked into that man, he’s not from City H. Seems like he’s from a remote little mountain village! He took the money, and probably disappeared completely."
Gu Ningyue sighed and said to Lu Qingqing, "Then forget it! Even if we go looking for him, Chen Rui might find out and silence him."
Lu Qingqing took a sip of coffee, feeling unlucky for the first ti about soone’s circumstances.
"Let’s talk about Mr. Chen!"
Gu Ningyue nodded at Lu Qingqing, "Okay, does Mr. Chen have any good friends? Around the sa age?"
He was the one who lifted the curse on before.
But the old man I t in the hospital knew so things too.
But since City A is so big, Mr. Chen and that old man might know each other.
At first, Gu Ningyue didn’t think about it, but after everything that happened, she had a sudden realization that there might be so connection between them.
Lu Qingqing looked at Gu Ningyue and said, "Mr. Chen has a lot of friends, all around the sa age, not sure who you’re talking about?"
Gu Ningyue thought for a mont, then described the old man she t in the hospital: "Does that ring any bells?"
Lu Qingqing thought for a while, "No, how could Mr. Chen have any connection with soone like that? Ningyue, are you joking with ?"
Gu Ningyue shook her head with a bitter smile, "Maybe! Just take it as a joke!"
Lu Qingqing didn’t really understand what Gu Ningyue wanted to know, which left a doubt in her mind.
After chatting for about an hour, both felt it was about ti, and stood up to leave the restaurant.
As they were leaving, Lu Qingqing looked at Gu Ningyue and said, "Tomorrow is Qianqian’s last treatnt, thank you for everything you’ve done for her during this ti. I’m not taking her back tonight. I’ll take her for the dication tomorrow and then arrange another place for her to stay. With her around, you can’t really be at ease with your work! Spend so good ti with Ling Tianyou! He really needs soone by his side now!"
"Thank you," Gu Ningyue nodded, "No need to be so polite. It’s what’s right. I just hope Qianqian can live a normal life, and Miss Lu doesn’t forget what you promised ."
Lu Qingqing looked at Gu Ningyue and said, "I never break my promises. I will follow through."
After parting ways, Gu Ningyue drove towards the villa.
Probably due to the dication, Lu Qingqing ca alone today, but where did she settle Ji Qianqian?
Could it be back to the Lu Mansion? Probably not! The Lu Family’s attitude wouldn’t be good.
Probably to a hotel! After all, tomorrow is the last day.
On the way, Gu Ningyue picked up so items and returned to the villa.
As expected, the lights inside were still on. Ling Tianyou was sitting on the sofa, maintaining the position he was in when she left, seemingly not moving for ages.
A tinge of pain flashed in Gu Ningyue’s eyes, she handed the coat to Aunt Zhang and went to Ling Tianyou’s side, "Look what I bought for you?"
Ling Tianyou turned his head blankly, his eyes were bloodshot even after just two hours, "You’re back?"
Gu Ningyue was stunned for a mont, then nodded, "You haven’t eaten yet, have a bit and then rest for a while!"
Saying that, Gu Ningyue placed the items she brought on the table, "Wanna try?"
Ling Tianyou looked at the items Gu Ningyue bought, as if trying not to make her worry, he picked up the chopsticks and tasted a bit, "Did you find out anything?"
Hearing that, Gu Ningyue fell silent for a mont. Although this result was probably within Ling Tianyou’s expectations, saying it at this mont, would it just add fuel to the fire?
If Ling Tianyou acted impulsively, leaving evidence for the other side, things would be difficult.
No one in City A isn’t afraid of Ling Tianyou, but there are plenty who want to bring him down, and if they seize this chance to act, he’ll end up with a blemish.
Not just Ling Tianyou, but the entire Ling Family enterprise will hit the trending lists.
After thinking for a while, Gu Ningyue looked at Ling Tianyou, "There’s not much useful information, Lu Qingqing doesn’t know much either. Tomorrow, you should handle Tianze’s funeral, and I’ll look into the clues and such."
Ling Tianyou glanced at her, seemingly understanding what she was thinking, "Go ahead, I can handle it, and stay calm, I won’t act rashly!"
After so many years in the business world, Ling Tianyou had long learned to control his emotions, how to quickly calm down.
And now, he couldn’t say much, but at least he could ensure he wouldn’t be impulsive.
"Alright..." Gu Ningyue hesitated a bit, then said to Ling Tianyou, "The woman in the hospital was Chen Rui’s person, now she’s dead, her husband took the money Chen Rui gave him and disappeared, finding him would be like searching for a needle in a haystack."
Ling Tianyou looked at Gu Ningyue, "So it was her!"
Gu Ningyue nodded, "Lu Qingqing has a recording, she’ll send it to later, maybe there’ll be sothing useful, let’s wait and see!"
Ling Tianyou seed surprised, "Whose recording?"
Gu Ningyue said, "The conversation between that woman’s husband and Chen Rui."
Ling Tianyou acknowledged and slowly continued to eat, "Probably nothing significant, or else Lu Qingqing wouldn’t just give it to you."
Gu Ningyue nodded, "I think so too, but it’s better than nothing."
"Ding-dong—"
Just as they were talking, Gu Ningyue’s phone received a notification.
Thinking it was a ssage from Lu Qingqing, Gu Ningyue opened it only to find it was from her ntor Xia Yingbai: "Be extra cautious lately, soone is targeting you."
Gu Ningyue replied to the ssage, waited for a while without receiving a response, and then put the phone aside.
Actually, she didn’t need her ntor to tell her, she knew things wouldn’t go smoothly until her engagent.
Looking at Ling Tianyou, she didn’t know why, but reached out to touch his head, shocking herself once she realized what she had done.
What did she just do? She actually patted Mr. Qi’s head?
"Um, I didn’t an to. I just..."
Ling Tianyou stared at her, "You just what?"
Gu Ningyue struggled for a long ti, her face turning red, "I just think the way you eat is very cute..."
Ling Tianyou’s expression of surprise turned to bemusent, then helplessness, "Thank you for the complint, Mr. Ling..."
