Zhu Zhu stayed in Xie Jiashu's villa for a while, and the swelling on her face and body subsided a lot. She could even walk around with Shen Yihuan's support.
That day, Xie Jiashu came to the villa to look for Zhu Zhu. He took out a photo from his bag and handed it to Zhu Zhu.
"Are the two men in the photo the ones who attacked you that night?" Xie Jiashu asked Zhu Zhu.
Zhu Zhu carefully examined the photo. Although it was dark that night and Zhu Zhu was terrified, the image of the large man's disgusting appearance remained deeply imprinted in her mind.
"That's them." Zhu Zhu stared at the photo intently. "Even if they turned into ashes, I would still recognize them."
"Okay. It's them." Xie Jiashu put the photo aside and showed Zhu Zhu another portrait. "Do you know this man?"
Zhu Zhu picked up the portrait and examined it carefully. It showed a young man with a short crew cut and a pair of distinctive, narrow eyes. If Zhu Zhu had ever seen this man, she would never forget him.
"I don't know him." Zhu Zhu looked at him for a long time, then finally shook her head. She had never seen this man before.
"Two days ago, someone secretly dropped off the two men who attacked you at my doorstep. I've been interrogating them these past few days. After they confessed, I drew this portrait. They said it was this man who hired them to attack you, and they don't know anything else."
"But..." Zhu Zhu looked at the portrait carefully again, "I really don't know him."
Xie Jiashu thought for a moment and said, "Then I guess this man is just following orders. He's not the real mastermind. It seems we'll have to spend some time to find the person who has a grudge against you."
Shen Yihuan, who was standing by, couldn't help but say after hearing what Xie Jiashu said, "Zhu Zhu, think about it carefully. Have you offended anyone during this period?"
Zhu Zhu had actually been thinking about this for the past few days. A lot had happened since she married Nan Xun, and there were indeed quite a few people who held a grudge against her. But what she suspected most was that she already had someone in mind who could have done such a terrible thing.
"Do you know Xue Li'er?" Zhu Zhu turned to ask Xie Jiashu. He and Nanxun were childhood friends, so he probably knew everything about Nanxun.
Xie Jiashu looked back at Zhu Zhu. He knew about Nan Xun and Xue Li'er's affairs. He had also met Xue Li'er when they were best friends. She was a very thorough and meticulous person. But in Xie Jiashu's eyes, a woman who could take everyone's feelings into consideration was actually very terrifying.
"Do you think it was Xue Li'er who did it?" Xie Jiashu asked Zhu Zhu.
Shen Yihuan was also surprised. Ever since Xue Li'er started working at Nanyu Media, everyone had praised her highly. No one had a bad word to say about her. She couldn't believe Xue Li'er was the mastermind behind this.
"Zhu Zhu... maybe you're mistaken?" Shen Yihan said to Zhu Zhu, "Xue Li'er doesn't seem like that kind of person."
Zhu Zhu laughed at herself. Even her good friend Shen Yihan didn't believe Xue Lier would do such a thing, so no one else would believe it either.
"You might not believe what I'm saying." Zhu Zhu decided to give it a try, "But Xue Li'er is really different from what you imagine. I've seen her in private, and she's really... scary! I don't know if she's always been like this, or if she's gone through something else over the years. Anyway, she's very scary now. I'm really afraid she'll do something bad to Nan Xun."
Xie Jiashu looked at Zhu Zhu and fell into deep thought. The bad feeling he had towards Xue Lier from earlier came flooding back to him.
