Chapter 123 Female Supporting Character System 15

"Hmm, who called..."

"You didn't add a note."

A rustling sound rang out, "Hello, who is this?"

Lu Ziheng understood perfectly. He was all too familiar with that male voice; after all, they had been classmates for many years and had bumped into each other in the business world more than once. Coupled with the video he had just seen, it confirmed one thing for him—

"Ning Yan, are you living with Qiu Jingting?"

Ning Yan, who was still half asleep, woke up immediately when she heard Lu Ziheng's voice. "Lu Ziheng? Is there something you need?"

"Ning Yan, I never expected you to be so promiscuous. You two were already hooking up when Qiu Jingting was celebrating his birthday, weren't you?"

No, maybe even earlier, otherwise you wouldn't have given him such an expensive gift!

You kept saying you liked me, but you were seducing another man. I never imagined you were this kind of person!

Ning Yan leaned against the headboard and yawned, covering her mouth. "What are you talking about? Wasn't it you who fell in love with your secretary first and wanted to break off the engagement?"

What could possibly happen between me and Qiu Jingting? We were completely innocent before.

Some people say that if you want to forget someone, you should jump into another relationship. Mr. Qiu is good-looking, so I chose him. But what does that have to do with you?

"You've already been engaged once, so you won't let me find another spring?"

She wouldn't admit to anything Lu Ziheng asked like an idiot. Having a relationship with someone else during the engagement was a moral issue, and because of Lu Ziheng's actions, their family had received a lot of benefits after the engagement was called off. Now they were talking on the phone, what if that bastard recorded it?

Lu Ziheng never expected that she would deny it so vehemently. "Do you think everyone else is blind? We only broke off our engagement half a month ago, but the way you two are so intimate shows that you've been together for quite some time."

"Oh, you mean that guy? He's naturally outgoing and a clingy little devil. I've already decided to give him a try, so naturally I have to try to accept him."

For a relationship to last, couples need to be tolerant of each other, don't you think?

Clingy Qiu Jingting: ...To be honest, that's not wrong. He is indeed quite clingy. But calling him a little devil, isn't that a bit inappropriate for him?

Lu Ziheng: ...

Lu Ziheng was so angry that he couldn't speak. Seeing that he remained silent, Ning Yan said, "Why aren't you saying anything? If you don't want to say anything, then fine, I'll hang up. Don't call so early in the future if there's nothing wrong. It's very unethical to disturb people's rest, you know?"

Lu Ziheng nearly coughed up blood when the phone was hung up on him.

He didn't believe a word Ning Yan said. He admitted that he did press the recording button, but Ning Yan wasn't fooled, so the recording was useless.

With a bang, the phone in her hand smashed against the wall and shattered into pieces. The noise woke Zhou Xiaobai inside. She came out naked to check, and Lu Ziheng, furious, finally found an outlet for his anger when he saw her. Soon, he pushed Zhou Xiaobai onto the carpet...

...

After hanging up the phone, Ning Yan looked at Qiu Jingting: "Why haven't you gone to the company yet?"

Qiu Jingting pulled the person into his arms, "My dad is back. With him in charge of the company, I don't need to do anything. I'll stay with you these next few days."

"Then you must be very free?"

"How can you say I'm free when I'm with you? I'm very busy, okay?"

By the afternoon, Ning Yan knew what the man was busy with.

The Lu family has been reported.

When a company gets into trouble, the investigation usually starts with tax evasion, but Qiu Jingting is different; Lu Ziheng is involved in a murder case.

The story begins three years ago.

Three years ago, a female celebrity commissioned a set of jewelry from Lu's, requesting that the entire set be made of glass-type violet to match her outfits for walking the red carpet abroad.

The order was worth nine figures, and the Lu family accepted it because their jewelry company had a ready-made piece of glass-type violet jade.

However, a problem arose during production. There was enough material, but the wrong blueprint was used during the cutting process, so the order could not be completed.

The female celebrity insisted that the finished product must be exactly the same as the design drawing, with no room for negotiation.

The Lu family could afford the penalty for breach of contract, but the penalty was too high. Nobody wanted to do a business deal that not only failed to make money but also resulted in a huge loss.

So Lu Ziheng began searching for glass-type violet jade. He eventually found out that a jade enthusiast surnamed Luo had cut out a piece of glass-type violet jade at the T Province public auction, so he sent someone to talk to Mr. Luo.

But the deal fell through. Mr. Luo only spent 10,000 yuan to buy the raw material and made a huge profit. He had already decided to pass the material down as a family heirloom. Jade is something that becomes more valuable the longer it is stored, so it is understandable that he did not want to sell it.

But Lu Ziheng couldn't wait, and as a result, he got the materials, but Mr. Luo died a violent death.

When Lu Ziheng contacted Mr. Luo, he did so discreetly, and he was particularly decisive. After failing to reach an agreement twice, he took action directly.

After tying the person up, they found out where the fabric was found, and then killed them to silence them.

Qiu Jingting kept a close eye on Lu Ziheng. He would meticulously analyze any slight movement Lu Ziheng made. The four people involved in the murder were only found by him a month ago, and were sent to the police station this morning.

Lu Ziheng was arrested that afternoon, and he was taken away from Zhou Xiaobai's bed.

Not only that, but by evening even that top-tier actress had been taken away for investigation.

On Wednesday, the stock market opened and mainland stock prices plummeted, showing no signs of easing until Friday. Ning Yan and Qiu Jingting finally made their move, acquiring 3% and 4% of the shares respectively before the third consecutive limit down.

Qin Xiaolu resigned from Lu's Group.

She was originally a career-oriented woman, and her ambition far outweighed her desire for love.

Especially considering that her relationship with Lu Ziheng occurred under those circumstances, it wasn't a pleasant memory for her.

And then there's that crazy woman surnamed Zhou, who always targets her for no reason. She's incredibly annoyed by her. She doesn't know about Lu Ziheng's relationship with Zhou Xiaobai, but the murder case is the last straw that breaks the camel's back, and she decides to leave.

Before leaving, she went to the detention center to say goodbye to Lu Ziheng.

"Xiaolu, I'm so happy you came to see me."

Qin Xiaolu smiled at the man behind the glass window: "I'm leaving now. Thank you for taking care of me before."

"Leave? Where to? Lulu, did you decide to leave because you think I'm definitely not going to get out? Don't worry, I'll definitely get out soon, and things will be resolved quickly, don't go!"

It's just hiring someone to kill. Yes, someone was killed, but who can prove that he gave the order?

As long as his family arranges a scapegoat for him, he can leave this place unscathed.

"That's good. Work hard after you get out, and I wish you success in your career."

Lu Ziheng closed his eyes in anguish, but he still couldn't keep her. Qin Xiaolu left without a trace of regret.
