Su Mingyang had just hung up the phone less than half a minute ago.

My WeChat kept ringing with notifications, and a long list of group chat records came into view.

The date indicates it's an internal company chat log from a month ago.

"That Bai Su from the PR department is a real bitch, have you heard? She actually stole Xiaolin's boyfriend!"

"What? That's too much! Xiaolin is such a good person. When Bai Su was broke, Xiaolin helped her out for two months. How could she do that?"

"Hmph, this isn't the only disgusting thing she's done. A while ago, she was photographed carrying out her master's tasks on an overpass late at night. I still have the photos!"

The photos were so explicit they were simply unbearable to look at.

I zoomed in on the screen to look at the face, and it was indeed Bai Su, quite nice.

"Oh my, how shameless! Her clothes are always so provocative. In the dead of winter, she wears a short skirt and stockings, showing off her thighs, deliberately flaunting herself in front of men. She's obviously no good."

"And there's more! Someone revealed that she took out an online loan a few months ago because she was short of money, but later couldn't repay it, so the creditors posted her photos online."

When this colleague said this, he kindly also sent out the link.

"Is it really her? I saw her online before and thought she looked like Bai Su. I didn't expect it to actually be her."

"How can someone like that stay at the company? She's a disgrace to the company, she should be fired!"

"Exactly, someone like her will ruin the company's reputation sooner or later."

"I suggest you check your boyfriends' phones; someone else might have already gotten there first."

The next few dozen chat logs were filled with vile and offensive insults directed at Bai Su.

This is completely different from the Bai Su I imagined.

In my imagination, a rich man's daughter should receive a good family education and elite education from a young age.

Her words and actions exude elegance and propriety; her temperament is as pure and refined as an orchid; her clothing is exquisite and elegant yet dignified; and she harbors lofty ideals and ambitions.

Instead of being mired in moral controversy like this, behaving erratically and dissolutely, she is far removed from the image of a wealthy heiress that I have in mind.

But these records completely overturned my illusions.

I really can't understand how that exquisitely beautiful and compassionate little girl from twenty years ago has become like this today.

What I can't understand is that even if Bai Su is the illegitimate daughter of the former richest man, she is still his biological child.

How could someone be so poor that they have to rely on online loans to make a living?

Even a relative like Xiao He, who was once the richest man, helped her. It's impossible for him to just stand by and watch his daughter sell her body, right?

Judging from the time when the three of them came to see my grandfather, the former richest man and his wife didn't seem to dislike Bai Su.

Could something have happened?

Just as I was racking my brains, there was a sudden 'bang bang bang' knocking on the door.

Who is it?

I put down my phone and asked loudly.

"It's me, open the door!" The plump landlady's loud voice rang out from outside the door.

I instinctively replied that I'd be right there.

But when I got to the door, I suddenly realized that instead of opening the door immediately, I looked at my phone.

It was 12:05 a.m.

It's not that I'm scared, it's just that I'm a boy and I need to be careful when I'm out.

"Is there something you need?" I called out to the plump landlady through the door.

There's no peephole in the door, so you can't see outside.

"The downstairs neighbor just came to complain that the toilet faucet here isn't turned off properly, and water is leaking downstairs. Open the door right away, I need to go in and check!"

The plump proprietress shouted at the top of her lungs.

Meanwhile, she kept turning the doorknob, making the metal handle click and rattle.

Is it leaking?

I glanced back at the bathroom and could vaguely hear the sound of running water.

That's strange, I remember turning off the water.

I didn't open the door, but replied, "Excuse me, I'll go close it now."

When I got to the bathroom, I found that the tap was indeed still running, and the water was almost overflowing.

As soon as I turned off the tap, the knocking at the door stopped.

I had just sat on the bed, ready to call Su Mingyang and ask him if he had found any other clues besides these, such as that guy surnamed Chen.

The moment I sat down on the bed, the door was pounded on loudly again, as if she was going to tear it down if I didn't open it.

She's still the plump proprietress.

"Open the door quickly, your toilet is still leaking. Open the door and I'll go in and take a look. If the leak is serious, I'll change your room."

Is this ever going to end?!

I got up to open the door.

However, when I got to the door, I was careful.

Instead of opening the door immediately, he lay on the ground and looked out through the gap under the door.

A pair of red embroidered shoes appeared outside the door.

Not the fat boss lady!

It's Bai Su!

I broke out in a cold sweat instantly, thankfully I didn't open the door.

The knocking stopped a second later.

Then Bai Su's pale face appeared under the crack in the door.

She was lying on the floor, just like me, peeking through the crack in the door!
