Qiao Wanwan looked at the person on the video, "I'll ask Xu Lai tomorrow, but..."

Jiang Dong asked curiously, "But what?"

"If He Songling really owed a debt of love, it's normal that Xu Lai didn't know."

“Indeed, it’s as easy for He Songling to keep it from Xu Lai as it is for a college student to deal with a kindergarten child.” Jiang Dong smiled. “Madam, you’re pregnant and traveling back and forth is tiring. Would you like to bring Xu Lai to Wutong Bay?”

“No need,” Qiao Wanwan said. “If this murderer continues to target Xu Lai, wouldn’t bringing him to Wutong Bay just cause trouble for us? We have elderly people and children at home; their safety is our top priority.”

"What you say is true, Madam. I was inconsiderate."

“But since there’s this speculation, you should arrange for Xu Lai to stay at a hotel under the Dijing Group. It’s safer there. Also, arrange for two bodyguards to protect her.” Qiao Wanwan sighed. “She’s a pitiful person. She’s lost so much. We can’t let her lose her own life too.”

"yes."

......

The next day.

After having breakfast, Qiao Wanwan went to the hotel to find Xu Lai.

"Madam Zhan, why did you arrange for me to come here?" Xu Lai asked somewhat uneasy. "It's too expensive here. I was perfectly fine where I was staying before..."

“This is under the Emperor’s View Group, so it’s safer here,” Qiao Wanwan explained. “He Songling also told you to be careful, so you should listen to him. Don’t worry, it’s your own hotel, they won’t charge you.”

"How can I do that? You've already helped me so much, I can't just stay here for free."

Qiao Wanwan was also bothered by these small things. "If you really feel bad about it, I'll have them charge you the internal price. That way you can afford it and won't feel uneasy."

Xu Lai bowed to her, "Thank you so much..."

"Have a seat." Qiao Wanwan gestured for her to sit on the sofa. "By the way, I came here today to tell you that we've watched and analyzed the video repeatedly. He Songling was indeed pricked by the pen handed to him by that fake deliveryman, and the wound was on his hand. So we can basically conclude that he was poisoned at that moment. We also discovered that the deliveryman was a woman disguised as a man. So I wanted to ask you, has He Songling met any women with whom he has an unusual relationship, the kind who want to kill him?"

"Madam Zhan, do you suspect he has another woman and killed him for love?" Xu Lai frowned. "Impossible, he couldn't possibly be two-timing."

Qiao Wanwan nodded, "That's good, I was just asking."

“Madam Zhan, He Yu and I have been through thick and thin together, and we love each other deeply. He has no reason to betray me…” Xu Lai said firmly, “unless he had been involved with other women before he met me.”

“That’s unlikely,” Qiao Wanwan pondered. “You’ve known each other for so many years, and He Songling has been hiding his identity all this time. If he really had a grudge, why would he wait until now?”

"That's true, I also think it couldn't have been a crime of passion."

"Then I'll instruct my men to continue investigating the revenge killing. You stay here and don't wander off. You must ensure your safety at this time."

"I know, Madam Zhan, don't worry. Although I'm heartbroken, I won't let anything happen to me," Xu Lai said, choking back tears. "I want to live, to see who killed He Yu, and I want that person to be punished by law!"

“I’m glad you think that way.” Qiao Wanwan patted her shoulder. “The hotel has a restaurant with good food. You can have all three meals there. We’ll put the bill on your room bill and give you a discount later.”

"Thank you, Madam Zhan."

"Then I'll head back now. You get some rest."

"Yes, I'll take you there."

......

After leaving the hotel, Qiao Wanwan deliberately asked the driver to take a detour to a shop to buy candied hawthorns.

As soon as I got back to Wutong Bay, I saw Cheng Zaozao taking her suitcase out of the car.

Qiao Wanwan got out of the car and walked up happily, "Zaozao, you're back?"

"Sis, I just got off the plane. Where did you come from?"

"I went to the hotel to find Xu Lai."

"I heard about He Songling from Zhan Yin. I never expected him to leave so unexpectedly. How is Xu Lai? Is she heartbroken?"

"That's for sure."

Cheng Zaozao sighed, "Sister, Xu Lai is so pitiful. If I have the chance, I'd like to visit her. Speaking of our backgrounds, we're pretty much the same, so maybe I can comfort her."

Qiao Wanwan asked curiously, "Didn't you say before that she was only willing to accept He Songling's shameful behavior for money? Why are you comforting her now?"

Cheng Zaozao: "......"

She was a little embarrassed. "Sister, do you still remember what I said last time? I just said it casually during a chat. Now I really feel sorry for Xu Lai. More importantly, you are so kind-hearted, you must feel sorry for her and can't help but want to go and keep her company. But it's inconvenient for you to go out right now, wouldn't it be better if I went in your place?"

“You are the darling of heaven, the high and mighty Madam Zhan, and everyone has to look up to you. I am different. If I am here, she may be able to relax more and listen to what I say more.”

Qiao Wanwan smiled and said, "It's good that you have compassion. If you want to go, just ask Jiang Dong to take you."

"good."

The two of them walked into the house together.

"Zaozao, is everything going smoothly on this trip abroad for work?"

"It went smoothly. This time, I not only attended the awards ceremony, but also shot a magazine cover, so I spent a little longer there."
