A training base in City A

Rong Shi received a call informing him that Sun Yaobin, the man behind Zhang Xincheng, had been found, but was already dead.

The cause of death was cardiac arrest, but one thing puzzled the forensic doctor.

Sun Yaobin did not have heart disease before his death.

Rong Shi suddenly remembered something and called Gu Chu.

"Chu Chu, is Su Wan here?" Rong Shi asked.

Gu Chu glanced at Su Wan beside her: "You're right next to me, do you need to see her?"

"Okay, give her the phone."

Gu Chu handed the phone to Su Wan, who answered the call and put it on speakerphone.

"Brother-in-law, what's the matter?"

Rong Shi asked, "What are the characteristics of a person who dies after being exorcised by a spirit?"

Wu Yanran, who was standing next to Rong Shi, was suddenly startled when she heard Rong Shi's voice, and a glimmer of light appeared in her confused eyes.

Su Wan knew that Rong Shi must have asked this question because something had happened. She explained, "People who are being exorcised will experience cardiac arrest and dilated pupils, as if they have been scared to death. What's wrong, brother-in-law? What trouble have you encountered?"

Rong Shi said calmly, "It's alright, I can handle it. I have other things to do, let's talk next time!"

Rong Shi hurriedly hung up the phone, then called the special case team and asked them to take Zhang Xincheng to see Sun Yaobin's body and then interrogate Zhang Xincheng again.

Soon, a call came back. Zhang Xincheng was trembling with fear after seeing Sun Yaobin's body, and he didn't say a word.

Because of Sun Yaobin's death, all leads went cold.

City C

After Rong Shi hung up the phone, Wu Yanran suddenly spoke up.

"Girl, Chu Chu, I've made up my mind. I don't want this child. Come with me to get an abortion tomorrow."

"Sorry, I have something to do tomorrow."

"Chu Chu, something must have happened to your brother-in-law. Why don't you go back to City A? Yanran and the nanny are here."

Gu Chu glanced in the direction of the villa next door, caught a glimpse of a figure on the roof, and nodded: "Okay, I'll go back this afternoon."

"Honey, I'll go to the hospital with you tomorrow."

"good."

Around 6 PM, Gu Chu returned to City A, but received a phone call from an unknown number.

The call was from Qu Yang, who told her that he needed her to come and cooperate with the case involving Scarface and Skinny Monkey.

Gu Chu went straight to the airport after getting off the high-speed train.

Upon arriving in D City, G Province, Qu Yang personally went to the airport to pick up Gu Chu.

When Gu Chu arrived at the police station, she met an unexpected person.

Hsiao Ya-ting!

"Gu Chu!"

What are you doing here?

Gu Chu and Xiao Yating both stared at each other in shock.

Qu Yang said, "Xiao Jiang, take Ms. Xiao in for questioning!"

After Xiao Yating was taken away, Qu Yang said to Gu Chu, "Sister-in-law, please sit down."

"Here's the thing, those two wanted criminals last time accepted 100,000 yuan to try to kidnap you. Do you have some grudge against them?" Qu Yang asked.

Gu Chu thought for a moment, then realized something: "Did Xiao Yating give them the money?"

"Yes, but according to the two men's statements and descriptions, Ms. Xiao was not the person they were dealing with. Because the place where they made the transaction was a blind spot for the surveillance cameras, they didn't capture the woman's appearance. However, Scarface confessed that the woman claimed you were her husband's mistress. Of course, this may not be true; she might be lying."

"An Xin!"

In another room, the police were also questioning Xiao Yating. When the police revealed that she had spent 100,000 yuan to hire someone to kidnap her, she was shocked and blurted out a name.

"An Xin!"

········

The two came out of the room one after the other, looked at each other, and seemed to understand something.

"Gu Chu..."

"you········"

The two spoke in unison, but stopped when they realized the other wanted to say something.

"You go first," Gu Chu said.

Xiao Yating asked, "Do you know An Xin?"

Gu Chu nodded: "Mm."

Xiao Yating asked again, "Did you offend her?"

Gu Chu replied, "I guess so!"

Gu Chu understood the whole thing when she thought of An Xin.

An Xin is a very possessive person. She liked Wu Yan and pursued him for a long time, but Wu Yan never agreed to be with her, so her mentality became somewhat twisted.

After being unable to win Wu Yan's heart, she fantasizes that other women are seducing him, so any woman who gets close to Wu Yan is regarded as an imaginary enemy.

Xiao Yating didn't understand Gu Chu's words: "What do you mean?"

Gu Chu truthfully replied, "She sees me as an imaginary enemy."

Xiao Yating then realized what was going on: "You! You know Wu Yan?"

Gu Chu: "Yes, we know each other."

Xiao Yating suddenly realized something and looked at her in shock: "Wu Yan likes you?"

Gu Chu rolled her eyes at her and said coldly, "My turn."

"You were deceived by An Xin?"

"No! She's my best friend, she wouldn't lie to me, she must have been scammed by someone," Xiao Yating said, sounding very unsure.

She also suspected that she had been deceived by An Xin, but An Xin was her best friend, and she could not admit that she had been deceived in front of her love rival. However, she could not refute her testimony in front of the police, so she gave this ambiguous answer.

Gu Chu sneered, looking at her as if she were an idiot: "Heh! Did Rong Shi teach you to pester her like that?"

Xiao Yating retorted, "What do you mean by persistent pestering? That's a strategy!"

Gu Chu said disdainfully, "She's immoral, and you're brainless."

Xiao Yating belatedly realized what was happening: "You insulted me?"

Gu Chu looked at her dismissively: "You have brains, but not many."

Enraged by Gu Chu's repeated humiliations, Xiao Yating confronted Gu Chu, demanding, "What's your relationship with Wu Yan? Are you cheating on me?!"
