Su Ziqing looked up at him and said, "Su Xiaoman had a miscarriage."

Gong Chengjue was not surprised at all when he heard the news, and simply gave a faint "hmm".

Given the circumstances that day, it's already quite remarkable that Su Xiaoman didn't miscarry on the spot. Several days have passed already.

Su Ziqing certainly didn't sympathize with Su Xiaoman at all, but she was still somewhat surprised to hear the news, because the information stated that due to Su Xiaoman's special circumstances, she had lost the child and, in doing so, had also... lost the right to be a mother.

In other words, the pain she originally intended for Su Ziqing to endure is now being reflected back at her.

Gong Chengjue took her phone. "This is her retribution. You don't need to pay attention to it."

She certainly didn't intend to pay attention, but she was just thinking about the original wife and wondered how she would handle these matters.

Gong Chengjue seemed to understand her thoughts and said calmly, "That person is not an ordinary person either. Even though his parents have long since retired, their family still has considerable influence."

"Hmm." That makes sense.

Feeling ignored, Sheng Yuanshuo felt he couldn't understand a word they were saying. "What kind of sign language are you two using? What original wife?"

Gong Chengjue glanced at him. "It's nothing."

Sheng Yuanshuo: "..." There was nothing wrong with it. He clearly heard the word "miscarriage".

Also, don't forget that he's from Beijing too, okay?

Although he only spends half of his time in the capital.

"Your sister, right?" Sheng Yuanshuo looked at Su Ziqing. Seeing that Su Ziqing did not deny it, he scoffed, "I don't know what she's thinking. She's so young, yet she insists on throwing herself at those high-ranking officials."

Su Ziqing remained silent.

What were they thinking? Of course, it was to find a powerful backer to deal with her.

Su Xiaoman also wants to be young, but those who are young are usually from the third generation of their family and don't have much say.

If you want a voice, especially a voice with authority, what else can you find besides an old man?

Gong Chengjue glanced at Su Ziqing, and seeing that she remained silent, he assumed she disliked Sheng Yuanshuo's gossip. He glared at her and said, "Why are you being so nosy?"

Sheng Yuanshuo, however, seemed not to understand his gaze and said, "It's not that I'm gossiping, but I heard quite a lot of things recently, the kind of things I was forced to hear."

"What did you hear?" Su Ziqing was in City A, and Gong Chengjue was very busy. He didn't usually show up for social engagements, so she really didn't know about Su Xiaoman's gossip.

She usually doesn't have the time or interest to pay attention to this, but now that Sheng Yuanshuo brought it up, she became a little curious.

Sheng Yuanshuo glanced at Gong Chengjue.

Gong Chengjue was speechless. "Why are you looking at me like that? Didn't you hear some gossip? Then just say it."

That face that screams "I want to say it all," but who's pretending to be so serious for?

"Actually, it's nothing special, nothing new. It's just the fourth or fifth mistress of a high-ranking official in the capital, um, it's Su Xiaoman." Sheng Yuanshuo paused for a moment before continuing.

"I heard she was pregnant, and she immediately pressured him to resign. That high-ranking official is almost seventy years old... He wanted a child at such an old age, and I heard he listens to Su Xiaoman a lot."

Su Ziqing, being a girl, didn't understand at all this idea that being pregnant with a son meant you were pregnant with the whole world. She remained silent, just looking at Sheng Yuanshuo, but this gesture showed that she was listening.

"You know, most people go out to have fun, hoping that while they're having affairs, they can keep their wives at home, right? But that woman made it known to everyone in the capital. I suspect that a woman was spreading the rumors." He directly changed Su Xiaoman to "that woman".

"But the bottom line has been revealed just like that, and the high-ranking official is really planning to get a divorce." Sheng Yuanshuo clicked his tongue twice. "And then the original wife wouldn't stand for it."

Su Ziqing took a sip of tea, feeling it was time to show her support, "Why did you quit?"

“That high-ranking official got his position through his father-in-law’s connections. Although he’s already secured his position, but…” Sheng Yuanshuo looked at Gong Chengjue intently, as if seeking common knowledge, “When women get ruthless, men really have nothing to do with them.”

"Huh? What happened?" Su Ziqing asked Gong Chengjue.

It seems he knows, but he just doesn't say anything.

"It's nothing, I was just reported by the original wife," Gong Chengjue said casually.

Sheng Yuanshuo nodded, "If your spouse reports you, then it's a sure thing. And if your wife's family adds fuel to the fire, you can imagine what will happen."

"Anyway, I'm definitely going to spend the rest of my life in jail." Sheng Yuanshuo shrugged. "That's all."

Su Ziqing felt that things were a bit coincidental. She had done so little, and thinking back to what had happened before, she gave Gong Chengjue a deep look.

Isn't he very busy? How does he have time to deal with these things?

Gong Chengjue calmly accepted her questioning gaze without making any statement.

"Oh, right, something just popped into my head." Sheng Yuanshuo suddenly remembered something, then looked at Gong Chengjue, "The police have closed the case of that Gong family member who died a few days ago, right?"

Gong Chengjue hummed in agreement. "An accident, self-inflicted."

“Wasn’t I swimming with a friend there that day? Now that I think about it, I saw a woman chatting with him that day.” Sheng Yuanshuo looked at Gong Chengjue. “But it was only a short encounter, and there were things covering the area, and it was nighttime, so I didn’t pay much attention. But I saw that woman at the airport in City A today.”

Sheng Yuanshuo invited Gong Chengjue out for this reason. It wasn't that he suspected anything, but he just felt that the world seemed a bit small.

I met him in the capital city, at the scene of the accident, and I also happened to have a brief encounter with the deceased.

Then, by chance, we met again at the airport in City A...

Sheng Yuanshuo took out his phone. "Here, this is it."

Gong Chengjue didn't really listen to what Sheng Yuanshuo said. In any case, whatever the reason, the investigation team would investigate.

But when Sheng Yuanshuo handed him the phone and he saw the photos on it...

Su Ziqing also peeked out, then her expression changed instantly, turning serious as she looked at Sheng Yuanshuo, "Are you sure it's this woman?"

Sheng Yuanshuo could tell from their expressions that things were not simple, and nodded seriously, "I'm very sure."

“This person…” Su Ziqing looked at Gong Chengjue, “the one who fought with Mr. Sakai in N City, the one who attacked me.”

"I know." Gong Chengjue knew it the moment he saw this woman.

What he didn't tell Su Ziqing was that a few days ago, when her house was attacked, Luo Jinhan was held up by this woman and couldn't get there in time.

For an ordinary person, it could be considered a coincidence, but this woman is no ordinary person.

He immediately took out his phone and called Luo Jinhan, "Watch the surveillance footage from that night again. See if it has been tampered with."

Luo Jinhan received this call out of the blue. Before he could ask why, he heard Gong Chengjue say, "Gong Changmu saw the woman who attacked you in the underground parking garage."
