Xie Leying casually swiped her hand across her phone.
The next second, a video of Gu Shaojin and Ming Jiayi being intimate in a car appeared on her phone screen.
She saved all the videos online of Gu Shaojin and Ming Jiayi together, wanting to understand their relationship thoroughly.
She knew about Gu Shaojin and Ming Jiayi's relationship before she returned to China, but to be honest, she didn't believe it.
Her father and Gu Shaojin's father were good friends.
Although they are said to be good friends, her father was actually an old subordinate of Gu Shaojin's father. Because he had been by Gu Shaojin's father's side for decades, they gradually became friends.
The year Gu Shaojin's father handed over the Gu family business to Gu Shaojin and went abroad, Xie Leying had just been admitted to a foreign university, so Xie Leying's whole family moved abroad with Gu's father.
Over the past few years, Xie Leying has been exceptionally hardworking. She not only graduated from her undergraduate program early but also completed her postgraduate studies and successfully secured a job at a top private hospital abroad.
Her return to China this time, besides being driven by the country's promising medical development, is primarily due to...
She had liked Gu Shaojin for a long time.
She is now well past the legal marriage age.
So she wanted to come back and win over Gu Shaojin, and then rightfully become Mrs. Gu.
She had been waiting for this day for a very long time.
Her phone rang.
It was her mother who called back.
"Mom, how are you?"
Xie Leying had a pretty good idea of why Gu's father wanted her to stay in a hotel, but she wouldn't jump to conclusions until she was sure.
"My dear, I heard from your Uncle Gu that... Shao Jin brought his girlfriend to stay at the Gu Family Manor, is that right?" Xie Leying's mother asked tentatively.
Xie Leying raised an eyebrow.
That's exactly right.
She replied reluctantly, "Yes."
Xie Leying's father took the phone and spoke earnestly to Xie Leying.
“Daughter, there’s nothing I can do. He’s taken his girlfriend home, so it’s not appropriate for you to stay at the Gu family’s house. Just bear with it for now and stay in a hotel. Anyway, your mother and I will be back in a few months.”
Xie Leying stared sharply at the television screen in front of her.
Why do you always have to feel wronged first?
She was really tired of hearing those two words.
Gu Shaojin's father, Gu Ze, had already agreed to it from the beginning.
Now they've changed their minds at the last minute.
So this is clearly the fault of the Gu family.
Couldn't this father have argued with them on a reasonable level?
Xie Leying replied somewhat perfunctorily, yet feigning obedience, "I understand."
...
Villa No. 3, Gu Family Manor
The nanny carefully poured some red wine into the empty glasses in front of Gu Shaojin and Ming Fengche, and then stepped back.
Gu Shaojin picked up the wine glass and gently swirled it.
Ming Fengche looked at Gu Shaojin with a somewhat solemn expression, completely different from when he was in Ming Jiayi's room earlier.
"Xiao Gu, was Jiayi's fall at the venue an accident? And what happened on the rooftop? Chi Yun's explanation on the phone was vague; she just told me to come quickly. I'm so worried."
Gu Shaojin glanced up at Ming Fengche. His eyes were somewhat vacant, but they were filled with danger and indifference.
"I've already sent people to investigate the stage situation, don't worry."
Ming Fengche picked up the glass of red wine on the table and drank it all in one gulp. He looked down and rubbed his forehead in frustration.
“She had two accidents in one night and almost lost her life. As her older brother, there was nothing I could do for her.”
Gu Shaojin's hand was still swirling the wine glass, his eyes casting a dangerous glint.
"If I'm not mistaken, it was the same group that did it both times. I won't let them get away with it."
Upon hearing this, Ming Fengche raised his head. "Do you know who did it?"
Gu Shaojin took a sip of red wine and remained silent.
...
Du Yan sent a few people to stay outside the small dark room to guard Feng Yunyun and Bai Li, while he, under Gu Shaojin's orders, returned to the event site and brought about a dozen people in disguise to wait outside the venue.
Although the name GF is known to many people, there are all sorts of strange rumors circulating within the community.
But not many people actually know what the situation is.
Therefore, Gu Shaojin specifically instructed Du Yan to keep his identity a secret during this mission and not to cause too much of a stir.
Therefore, they are currently just waiting outside the event venue for the event to end, and have not yet gone inside to conduct an investigation.
Around four or five in the morning, everyone present, including the staff, left the venue, and the lights inside were turned off.
At that moment, Du Yan immediately led the dozens of people to sneak into the venue through the back door.
Each of them had a headband flashlight, and Du Yan stood at the front, holding a walkie-talkie, and gave instructions.
"Five people went to the monitoring room to watch the surveillance, five people stayed outside to keep watch, and the rest of you came with me to the stage to conduct a survey."
"Yes!" the dozens of people replied in a low but firm voice.
Du Yan walked ahead and quickly arrived at the stage.
He stood in front of the small, broken wooden plank, and then kicked it away.
The people next to him squatted down and began to examine it carefully.
The surface of the hole was sharp and extremely uneven, like a piece of wood that had been broken, quite different from the smooth, polished wooden floor around it.
The entire stage is hollow underneath, but it has pillars supporting the platform, and the platform is thick enough that it is not easy to collapse.
Looking down more closely, you can see a small section of a broken pillar at the very bottom of that hole, which should be the supporting pillar.
"Hey, Deputy Boss, look at that little pillar." A bodyguard named He Jian said, pointing a flashlight at the little pillar with his head down.
Du Yan looked down in the direction of the light, but he didn't understand what was so special about the small pillar. He asked with some confusion,
"What's wrong?"
He Jian raised his head and looked at Du Yan seriously as he explained, "Deputy Boss Du, these should prove that this was man-made rather than an accident."
You see that small section of the pillar should have been the original supporting pillar here, but it's broken off, and the cross-section is still very smooth.
Look at this hole again. The wood is extremely uneven. If those protruding sharp points were to pierce a person's neck, it could cause massive bleeding from the carotid artery and lead to death.
I suspect that someone smashed open this small section of the countertop with a heavy object, and then used a chainsaw to cut off the pillar below.
Then they took a small piece of wood and glued it carefully to the spot, so that no one else would notice anything amiss.
