If you can't find Hei Su, there is only one way left.
It doesn’t matter if they can’t find Hei Su’s trace or breath, as long as Ni Sangwan can find it.
If she tried to find out about Ni Sangwan's true intentions, Ni Sangwan would definitely be wary. But it was different with Zhu Lingxi. On the surface, she and Zhu Lingxi had only collaborated on one or two programs and did not seem to be familiar with each other.
Moreover, Zhu Lingxi can conceal her own luck and can hide it from her, so she can naturally hide it from Ni Sangwan.
It would be most appropriate to let her get close to Ni Sangwan and test the waters.
After hanging up the phone with Zhu Lingxi, Su Yang took the elevator to the underground parking lot and drove to the restaurant where he had agreed to meet with Lin Qingle.
At half past seven, the lights came on and a light blue curtain covered the bustling night scene with a hazy drizzle.
It was the Friday evening rush hour after work. Although there were not many pedestrians on the road, there were a lot of vehicles. One had to wait at least two turns to pass a traffic light.
When Su Yang arrived at the restaurant, it was nearly eight o'clock. The twenty-minute drive took almost forty minutes.
Looking at Lin Qingle's long face, Su Yang walked over calmly, said "thank you" to the waiter who pulled out the chair for her, and took two sips from the water glass.
"Sorry for the wait."
"Please come back slowly. Wait until this restaurant closes before coming back." Lin Qingle crossed her arms, looking unhappy and impatient. Looking at the dishes on the table that were almost cold, she waved her hand and signaled the waiter, "Take it away and serve another identical dish."
"There's a little traffic jam on the road." Su Yang said calmly: "No need to change, it's fine like this."
"You think it's good, but I don't like it." Lin Qingle curled her lips and said, "Forget it, I'm too lazy to waste it, and there's no need to serve a new portion. Take these away and heat them up, especially the grouper. It doesn't eat hot food, it's very fishy."
Su Yang did not stop her and drank two more sips of water before she asked, "How are you... lately?"
"Which aspect?" Su Yang raised his eyelids slightly and asked in a calm voice.
“All aspects.”
"Good."
Her indifferent "very good" made her not know how to respond.
"Your father..." Lin Qingle looked at her and spoke tentatively.
When the news came out, she was actually quite shocked. She wanted to express her condolences several times via WeChat or over the phone, but she didn't know what to say for fear of rubbing salt into her emotional wounds.
She has also read the rumors in major reports during this period, but she doesn't know which one is true and which one is false.
In fact, she is not a person who cares about other people's thoughts or is so considerate, and she has never considered herself to be a kind person, but perhaps the last incident brought about a big change in her heart.
Especially Su Yang's words "those with a kind heart", she began to sympathize with the disadvantaged groups, developed compassion, and gradually began to look at or think about problems from other people's perspectives.
"I don't have a father." Su Yang interrupted her calmly and put down the water cup: "Those rumors on the Internet may not be false."
Su Yang chuckled: "Some rumors are groundless, but some rumors may not be true."
Lin Qingle was not a fool, so she naturally understood the meaning of her words. It seemed that Su Huai's death was an abnormal death, and it must be not simple.
But she didn't ask any more questions. Su Yang would tell her what she should know, and what she shouldn't know would definitely not be of any benefit to her. After all, getting involved in such things would not necessarily be a good thing.
After the dishes were served again, Su Yang got down to business: "How's the investigation going for me? Did you gain anything?"
Lin Qingle took two bites of food in a row and nodded enthusiastically: "Yes, and it's a very big harvest."
"Tell me." Su Yang raised his eyebrows and waited for her next words while eating.
"Didn't Qi Tianhao have his limbs amputated after he lost his temper while racing last time? I heard that he had nightmares since that day. In just half a month, he was hit by a golf ball while taking a walk in the backyard. He stayed in the hospital for a week and was only discharged a few days ago."
"It seems that Madam Qi wanted to help him get rid of his bad luck, so she went to a temple to pray for him. As a result, she drew three lots, all of which were bad. Madam Qi was scared, so she quickly invited a fortune teller to come to her house to tell his fortune. The fortune teller determined that there was something unclean in Qi Tianhao's body, and he has been preparing to exorcise the evil spirit for Qi Tianhao these days."
"I did as you said. The day before yesterday, when he went to the hospital for a follow-up checkup, I took a look. He was indeed covered in black... In your words, it was evil spirit. Moreover, it was particularly deep, as if he was wrapped in it. His face was also very fierce."
"The unlucky look he has now seems a bit similar to how I was before."
Su Yang smiled contemptuously. As she expected, the dark aura on Qi Tianhao was not so easy to eliminate.
"You're different from him."
"Different? What's different?" Lin Qingle looked at her blankly: "Didn't you say that my luck was also black at that time? Moreover, I was very unlucky during that period, the kind of unlucky that would make my teeth stuck even if I drank cold water."
"You were unlucky at that time because the necklace was bad luck. If you wore it for a long time, the necklace would absorb your own luck and transfer its bad luck to you. Over time, you became what you are now."
Su Yang spoke at a steady pace and took a bite of the newly-delivered grouper, which had a delicate and tender texture, and was very sweet.
There is a reason why it is expensive.
"The difference between Qi Tianhao and you is that you are unlucky because of the necklace, but he is unlucky not because of any external factors. It is just because his nature is too evil. He has done too many bad things and has accumulated a lot of bad energy. There is no shortage of karma in this world."
"He deserved what he ended up like this. If he hadn't gotten rid of this bad luck, how old would he be this year?"
"It seems to be 23 or 24." Lin Qingle racked his brains to think about it, took out his mobile phone and looked at his information sheet: "Ah, October, it's 24."
"Did you also research his profile?"
"Of course. When you asked me to target him that day, I asked someone to investigate. Don't worry, no one will find out about our cooperation. What will happen if you say that his bad luck doesn't change?"
Seeing Lin Qingle's mysterious look, Su Yang smiled faintly: "He will die. Considering the depth of his bad luck when I last saw him, plus his extremely bad appearance, he will die next year at the latest."
