Chapter 338 The Color Video is in Hand

Upon hearing Gu Chong's words, Su Xi immediately looked down at her chest.

Upon discovering that his clothes were neatly arranged and the top button was fastened meticulously, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

But then she realized that it was Feng Jue who had straightened her collar, and her body stiffened up little by little.

I wish I could dig a hole and crawl into it right now.

She was still feeling incredibly embarrassed when she suddenly felt an overwhelming chill pour down on her.

Su Xi immediately felt a chill run down her spine and got goosebumps. She unconsciously leaned closer to the man's warm chest.

Noticing the woman in his arms move, Feng Jue looked down and saw that she was still asleep, curled up in a small ball, probably because she was cold.

Feng Jue skillfully held the suit jacket close, then hugged it like a precious treasure.

Gu Chong stared wide-eyed.

How to describe the feeling? It's like Black Whirlwind is making a delicate pinky gesture. Wolverine is painting his nails. The tough guy turns into a sweetheart.

The feeling of a tough guy with a tender heart.

Feng Jue raised his eyes, his gentle gaze instantly turning sharp.

Gu Chong touched his nose and continued to explain, "I only realized it after President Feng punched me against the wall. It must be the interaction between the pear-shaped incense in my contract and the foxtail lilies in the corridor that caused the dizziness."

My contracts are always prepared by my assistant, Xiao Li. She has a habit of embellishing contracts with her own special touches.

I only valued Ms. Su as a business partner, thinking that women would generally like this fragrance. I never expected her to walk into the stairwell filled with foxglove lilies.

"Even if you don't believe it, you can always check the surveillance footage."

Feng Jue sneered, "I'll naturally check the surveillance footage. Someone come here!"

Liu Cheng quickly knocked on the door and came in.

Feng Jue raised his chin at Gu Chong and said only one word, "Search. Check his phone."

Liu Cheng quickly realized he wanted to check Gu Chong's phone for any secretly taken indecent photos.

Since it was that kind of photo, he naturally didn't dare to look at it. If it was too revealing, the big boss would definitely gouge out his eyes.

So Liu Cheng made up his mind that once the phone was unlocked, he would let the big boss check it personally.

"Mr. Gu, please."

Liu Cheng gave a forced smile, his attitude far from friendly. He had truly misjudged Gu Chong; he hadn't expected Gu Chong to be such a hypocrite.

Gu Chong hesitated for a moment, clearly very unwilling, but he had no choice but to hand the phone to Liu Cheng.

Holding the phone, Gu Chong didn't turn it on, but continued the body search to see if there was any other evidence on him.

While Liu Cheng was speaking slowly and deliberately, Su Xi's heart was filled with turbulent waves.

Although she couldn't open her eyes at the time and quickly fell into a coma, she clearly heard the clicking sound of the camera.

Therefore, she was almost certain that Gu Chong had her photos on his phone.

If Liu Cheng or Feng Jue saw those kinds of photos, would she even want to live?

Is Feng Jue determined to expose her ugliest scars and make her look bad?

Liu Cheng found nothing else on Gu Chong, so he had Gu Chong unlock his phone and then presented it to Feng Jue.

Feng Jue's expression was cold as he reached out to take it.

But a delicate, boneless little hand grabbed the phone before he could.

Feng Jue then realized that Su Xi had woken up, and a look of joy flashed in his eyes.

Before he could speak, Su Xi coldly lifted her suit jacket, stood up from the man's embrace, and took a few steps back.

It's very obvious that they're maintaining distance.

Seeing that Su Xi had woken up, Gu Chong frowned, not daring to look in the woman's direction.

Feng Jue, however, stared straight at Su Xi, a playful glint in his handsome eyes.

Su Xi said calmly, "President Feng, although I was a little dazed in the stairwell, I am sure that President Gu was really trying to save me, not to lay a hand on me. You have misunderstood."

Gu Chong was taken aback.

Feng Jue raised an eyebrow, his expression instantly turning cold.

"Whether there's a misunderstanding or not, just check if there are any photos on your phone."

Upon hearing this, Su Xi's face flushed red with anger. "President Feng, what do you mean by this? You are clearly insulting my character."

Feng Jue had just saved her, and she was very grateful to him.

But now, in front of so many people, it's been revealed that she might have been photographed in compromising situations. Where does that leave her face?

Couldn't it be done discreetly and privately?

This man is like a god from the heavens, is his emotional intelligence really that low? He clearly doesn't care. He's clearly doing it on purpose.

Since Feng Jue wouldn't give her any face, she had no choice but to solve the problem herself.

Su Xi stared directly at Feng Jue, her eyes filled with coldness and resentment.

Feng Jue looked straight at her and saw the forbearance and grievance in the woman's eyes, and even the faint glimmer of tears in her eyes. He could only look away, which could be considered as him taking the initiative to compromise.

"I didn't think this through."

Feng Jue said this to Su Xi, but didn't look at her.

Then she looked at Gu Chong and said, "I'll take this phone. I'll return 10 to you later, how about that?"

Su Xi bit her lower lip tightly, and her fingers curled up involuntarily.

Feng Jue wanted to resolve the matter privately, but the thought of him seeing those photos in private made her feel ashamed.

She wanted to handle this herself.

"President Feng, are you saying you don't believe me? I'm the person involved. Do you think I don't know whether he was trying to lay a hand on me or trying to save me?"

Furthermore, it's common knowledge that the combination of foxtail lilies and the fragrance of pear blossoms in the tent can cause dizziness and hallucinations. I just saw... saw a familiar person, which is why I walked into the stairwell. This was an uncontrollable factor, so it was all just a coincidence.

Furthermore, the pear-shaped incense in the contract was prepared by Assistant Li, and it appears in every contract. Therefore, it's quite clear that this matter has absolutely nothing to do with President Gu.

"Does President Feng think I'm stupid because he insists there's a connection?"

Feng Jue fiddled with his phone, his handsome face showing almost no expression.

He simply asked in return, "Did you see anyone familiar?"

"This is my private matter, and I don't think I need to tell you."

Feng Jue gave a self-deprecating laugh.

Su Xi pursed her lips, took a few steps forward, and held out her hand. "President Feng, give me your phone. I can handle this myself."

Seeing the stubbornness and determination on the woman's face, Feng Jue remained silent for a few seconds before handing over the phone.

The moment she took the phone, a huge weight was lifted from Su Xi's heart. She whispered, "Thank you."

Feng Jue didn't respond at all, as if he hadn't heard her. He simply stood up.

The man was tall and had long legs, so Su Xi went from looking at him straight on to looking up at him, and then watched him leave.

As Feng Jue passed Gu Chong, he paused and said, "Fire that assistant who uses incense, and never hire him again."

He then left without looking back.

Liu Cheng knew that the couple was having another argument.

He didn't know who was right and who was wrong, but if something happened to Su Xi, it would be the servants who would suffer.

So as soon as he stepped out of the room, he immediately walked toward Nie Liuyun.

Nie Liuyun instinctively dodged with a serpentine movement, but seeing Liu Cheng's serious expression, as if he had something important to say, he stopped.

Liu Cheng lowered his voice, "Please keep an eye on Miss Su inside. If anything happens to her, be careful that we don't smash your Ruyi Pavilion from the first floor to the top floor, and we'll pull out every single earthworm in the foundation."

“…You!” Nie Liuyun’s face turned ashen with anger. Just as he was about to retort, Liu Cheng had already left quickly.

This is absolutely outrageous!

Those with loud breaths aren't afraid of their tongues getting twisted by the wind.

If someone else were to ask him to do something like that, he would definitely not listen. If they asked him to take care of someone, he would deliberately refuse and even try to kick them while they were down.

But the target is Miss Su. She's the woman Feng Jingnian instructed us to take good care of. That creates a conflict.

Nie Liuyun would naturally continue to keep an eye on Su Xi's safety until she returned to the villa safely. He would get his revenge sooner or later for the humiliation he suffered at Liu Cheng's hands.

Only Gu Chong and Su Xi remained in the room.

Meeting the woman's clear gaze, Gu Chong felt his face flush red. He opened and closed his thin lips several times, but couldn't utter a single word.

Su Xi handed over the phone, her voice cold but unyielding.

"Delete the photos in front of me."

Gu Chong looked at Su Xi and saw the unspoken meaning in her eyes.

If he doesn't delete the photos, she will call the police, and they will break off all ties.

Gu Chong took the phone, but was somewhat hesitant.

If he saw those photos, wouldn't he be betraying Su Xi again?

He unlocked the phone and handed it back, saying, "You can delete it."

Su Xi's heart froze completely. She had still held onto hope, thinking that Gu Chong had only filmed some videos of her with her collarbone exposed and her clothes disheveled.

But now, seeing that the man dared not look her in the eye, his cheeks and earlobes turning red, the photos he took must have been more than just a picture of him disheveled.

Su Xi's cheeks flushed red instantly, and her chest heaved violently with anger.

She snatched the phone and opened the photo album.

The first thing you see is a few white photos.

Su Xi's brain nearly shut down from shame and indignation after just one glance. Her cheeks burned bright red, so red that her skin almost cracked. She wanted nothing more than to grab Gu Chong by the collar and slap him a few times.

But she held back. With trembling hands, she deleted all the photos.

Then find the recycle bin and delete the photos completely.

After deleting the photos, she only felt a little relieved. Whenever she thought of those photos, she felt so ashamed and angry that she trembled all over and could barely hold her phone.

Gu Chong saw this and felt even more guilty. He reached out to take the phone.

Su Xi curled her lips into a mocking smile and threw her phone away.

With a loud "bang," the air seemed to shatter itself.

Gu Chong finally mustered up his courage and looked into the woman's eyes. "Miss Su, I'm sorry, I drank too much today. I promise I won't do it again."

Su Xi's expression was cold. "Gu Chong, consider this as me repaying the favor of you going to jail for me. If I encounter something like this again, I won't be lenient."

After saying that, she left directly. As they passed each other, Gu Chong clearly sensed that the woman hated him to the core; even the air blowing on him felt cold and merciless.

Gu Chong stood there silently for a long time before bending down to pick up his phone.

After leaving Ruyi Pavilion, he sped all the way to a quiet, empty parking lot before taking out his phone.

He seemed somewhat lost in thought.

Only four words came to his mind: He was sorry.

These four words were naturally spoken to Su Xi.

He had already set those photos to be sent automatically. That is to say, the moment he took the photos, they were already in that person's hands.

So even if Su Xi completely deleted the photos from his phone, or even smashed his phone, it would be to no avail.

Su Xi had no idea that the photos had already been sent out; she thought the matter was completely over.

She was indeed careless in this matter, and trusted people too easily, which is why she fell into his trap.

But what's done is done, and it can't be changed.

Overthinking only adds to your troubles.

So Su Xi put that matter out of her mind and focused all her energy on something else.

She has more important things to do.

As soon as she stepped outside, she saw the owner of Ruyi Pavilion. She was about to look for him.

"Hello, Mr. Nie."

Nie Liuyun was surprised that Su Xi would come over and talk to him, and he also had something to ask Su Xi.

Otherwise, he always had a very strange feeling. Even though the green hat was on Feng Jingnian's head, he always felt as if it was on his own head, and he felt extremely uncomfortable.

"Hello, Ms. Su. I apologize for the poor hospitality today, which made your experience unpleasant. Besides our signature Kopi Luwak, we also offer Elephant Dung Coffee. Would you like to try some?"

“…Okay. Let’s talk in private.” Su Xi looked a little embarrassed and somewhat presumptuous as she spoke, “Mr. Nie, could you please check your company’s surveillance footage? I’m looking for someone.”

"Sure, no problem. In that case, let's go to my office."

Su Xi was about to say yes, but then she paused in her tracks.

She was completely unprepared for Gu Chong and ended up suffering such a huge loss. Nie Liuyun, on the other hand, was practically a complete stranger to her.

However, she quickly dismissed the idea.

She's not a hundred-dollar bill, loved by everyone. Gu Chong's situation was just a coincidence; she was simply unlucky.

Su Xi's expression was fleeting, but Nie Liuyun didn't miss it.

So when he entered the office, he deliberately left the door open.

After his assistant brought him two cups of fine elephant dung coffee, he didn't leave but sat down at the computer desk and continued working.

It gave Su Xi a great sense of security.

On the way here, Su Xi already knew that Nie Liuyun was Feng Jingnian's college classmate and a good friend of many years.

She completely let down her guard and directly said she wanted to watch the video of the woman in the red dress.

Nie Liuyun didn't call his assistant over, but did it himself. His slender fingers flew across the screen, and in just a few minutes, he pulled up all the footage of the woman in the red dress appearing on various surveillance cameras.

Su Xi saw that the woman in the red dress had arrived by taxi. She walked to Ruyi Pavilion and stayed in a private room by the window for a long time.

When she came out, she went straight to the fire escape stairs, which Su Xi saw.

It happened quite by chance.

Su Xi wouldn't have seen it if it had been a second earlier or later.

It's obvious that someone tipped them off.

Moreover, there are only videos of women entering, not videos of women leaving.

Nie Liuyun patted his chest and assured everyone, "I have already ordered people to investigate all the guests in the private room, and there is no such woman there."

Therefore, this woman is definitely not in Ruyi Pavilion.

As for how she got out, either she was stuffed into a hidden place like a suitcase, or she changed clothes and left.

Su Xi's eyes flickered. She agreed with Nie Liuyun's assessment, believing it was more likely that the woman in the red dress was changing clothes in the stairwell.

After all, there are blind spots in the fire escape stairwells.

So it's quite clear that someone deliberately found someone who looked and resembled her mother, dressed up as her mother, and lured her into the stairwell.

This person is most likely Gu Chong.

Therefore, Feng Jue's statement that Gu Chong should have some connection with his mother is probably true. Otherwise, he wouldn't know what his mother looked like and would dress up a woman who didn't resemble his mother so much.

Su Xi pressed the pause button.

The paused video shows the woman in the red dress's face.

Upon closer inspection, the woman's eyebrows and eyes do not resemble her mother's. However, with makeup, contouring, and double eyelid tape, she appears to resemble her mother by about 70-80%.

Therefore, Gu Chong must know more or less about her mother.

After what happened today, she originally didn't want to have any further contact with Gu Chong.

However, in order to find her mother, she decided to follow Feng Jue's advice and make contact with him discreetly, gathering information little by little.

This woman is the key. Although we don't know how she left, we can trace back to where she got here.

Seeing that Su Xi hadn't made a move for a long time, and that the complex emotions in her eyes had gradually returned to clarity and calm, Nie Liuyun couldn't help but speak.

"Ms. Su, have you finished reviewing the surveillance footage?"

Su Xi then snapped out of her daze and nodded apologetically, "Yes. I can just copy these videos and leave. Sorry for bothering you."

Su Xi originally thought that Nie Liuyun meant to see the guest out, but unexpectedly he suddenly perked up and looked hesitant and conflicted, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.

But in the end, she spoke up, "Ms. Su, I have a question, but I'm not sure if I should ask it."

Su Xi had already troubled him for so long, and now that it was just a small problem, she naturally had no reason to refuse.

She smiled. "Go ahead and ask."

Nie Liuyun then asked directly, "What is your relationship with Feng Jue?"

Upon hearing this, Su Xi's smile froze instantly.

Her stiff, awkward smile caused her cheeks to flush involuntarily. Her smile looked worse than a grimace.
