Chapter 183 Confusing the Audience

What's worse, long before Yun Ran reappeared in front of him, he had already had a conflict with Li Ting.

Qin Ruo's investigation report is very detailed, arranged in chronological order, and is well-reasoned and complete with evidence.

Even if Gu He was unwilling to believe it, he had to face this reality.

——Yun Ran had been lying to him from the very beginning. Whether it was hiding her identity and interacting with him, or her current ambiguous relationship with him, it was all intentional on her part.

And among all this, there was the shadow of another person from beginning to end, his mortal enemy Li Ting.

Qin Ruo sipped her coffee slowly, making sure Gu He had finished reading everything before she sighed, "Brother He, what was Li Ting's purpose in deliberately erasing his tracks and helping Yun Ran get close to you?"

"Things have gotten to the point where the Gu and Qin families are almost at odds, and our relationship is falling apart. But in the end, what did you gain?"

"Exploiting with deception, or perhaps, a trap set long ago, waiting for you to jump into it?"

"Stop talking!" Gu He's forehead veins bulged, "That's not the case. There must be some misunderstanding!"

"What kind of misunderstanding could there be?" Qin Ruo rudely broke his fantasy. "If you are not sure whether these things are true or not, you can always check them yourself."

"Given the Gu family's power in Xiangcheng, I don't have the ability to distort the truth. Send someone to investigate from the beginning, and everything will be clear."

"However," Qin Ruo said, "after you confirm it, what are you going to do? Endure the humiliation, continue to pretend to be ignorant, and cooperate with Yun Ran to hand over the Gu Group to someone else?"

Gu He gritted his teeth: "She won't do that!"

"Whether it will happen or not, you know it." Qin Ruo smiled. "In fact, I have been very skeptical from the beginning. How could Qin Qing, a person who was completely dead, come back to life, and in someone else's body and identity?"

"I've never believed in anything supernatural. Compared to something as fantastical as resurrection from the dead, gathering information through unknown channels and fabricating coincidences to form supporting evidence is more logical and makes more sense."

"Especially now with Li Ting's help, things become even simpler."

Gu He didn't want to believe it, but his expression had already wavered: "She knows a lot of things that are not made public. It can't be fake."

Qin Ruo nodded: "I won't comment on this, it's just too coincidental."

"Yun Ran and Li Ting have known each other for a long time. She then used Qin Qing as a bridge to get close to you and make you obey her orders. During this time, she has been associating with Li Ting and even living together. And Li Ting is eager to swallow up the Gu Group."

"Are all these things just coincidences?"

Gu He was silent, unable to refute.

Qin Ruo put down the last of her hammers and said, "Brother He, think about it carefully. Has Yun Ran ever admitted in person that she is Qin Qing?"

"In my impression, this so-called truth is just her leading us to speculate in this direction, but she never seems to confirm it, nor does she deny it. She is vague and confusing."

Gu He's hands gradually clenched, and his face turned from red with excitement to pale.

Yes, Yun Ran had never admitted to her face that she was Qin Qing.

This series of plots was just a means to separate him from the Qin family, while making him trust Yun Ran completely and feel guilty about it.
