Rong Zhaonan's gaze had been somewhat somber and downcast, but the moment he heard Chen Chen's words, his aura changed abruptly, and his eyes sharpened like a drawn sword.
He calmly asked, "How can you be sure it was He Soda? Did you listen in on a recording?"
Chen Chen shook his head while turning the steering wheel: "No, that's a special encrypted line that can't be eavesdropped on. She made the call at midnight, but it was because of this special, uneavesdroppable line that we were able to find out it was He Su who made the call."
Rong Zhaonan tapped lightly on the window frame with his fingertips, his gaze towards the outside growing increasingly cold: "Hmm."
Chen Chen couldn't help but ask, "Captain, how did you come up with the idea of wiretapping Dongdong's hospital room phone?"
The captain not only had Ye Dong's phone tapped, but also Ye Yuan's, and even had people follow the siblings.
Rong Zhaonan said quietly, "Intuition."
Chen Chen was completely baffled: "Huh?!"
Intuition?! What an illogical answer!
Rong Zhaonan said calmly, "If a person's style suddenly becomes very similar to another person's, it will inevitably reveal flaws and arouse suspicion."
After taking Ye Dong to the hospital, he reviewed the recent events.
It was discovered that Ye Dong's series of actions bore a striking resemblance, to a woman he deeply loathed, in six or seven parts.
Even if Ye Yuan taught Ye Dong to learn from Sister Qiu how to get close to him, he was a grown man and couldn't teach Ye Dong the subtle methods of using gender and age advantages to spread rumors, sow discord, deliberately create conflicts, and try to destroy other people's relationships for his own purposes.
Ye Dong's living environment was only so big.
He couldn't think of anyone else besides his "gentle and compassionate" stepmother who would have the motive to instigate her to do such a thing.
Moreover, he also went to talk to Rong Chaobei.
Rong Chaobei was, after all, a young girl. She didn't resemble her mother much, and she had a simple and kind heart.
He didn't pressure her too much, but she couldn't bear the inner torment and started crying as she talked about some trivial things. She thought she hadn't said much.
But for someone like him, her words had already provided many clues.
This is enough to confirm some of his guesses.
He didn't want to make things difficult for the conflicted and tormented little girl who wanted to maintain her mother-daughter relationship and also hoped that he, her older brother, would be well.
Therefore, he has to find evidence and find solutions for many things on his own.
Chen Chen was completely stunned after hearing what his captain had to say.
He Su is fucking awesome—he kills without shedding blood.
If you were to ask what she did, we still wouldn't be able to find any dirt on her. The worst that could happen if word got out would be—
She was just a biased mother-in-law who didn't like Ning Yuan and preferred Ye Dong, whom she had watched grow up in the same courtyard.
Now, as Chen Chen thinks back to how his former captain grew up, a sudden chill runs down his spine, and he can only recall one sentence—
A dull knife kills.
Moreover, it's the kind of killing method that leaves absolutely no room for error!
Everyone in the compound thought she was a good stepmother.
She always protected her stepson, who was always causing trouble and getting into trouble, even though she almost ruined him by protecting him.
Even the decision to have the team leader take the blame for her son and be sent to the countryside was not hers.
It was all Uncle Rong's decision!
At most, she's just a mother who worries about her son. Isn't it only natural for a stepmother to be a little biased?
Who can say He Su is wrong?
"How...how could there be such a terrifying woman? She's more terrifying than a spy." A chill ran down Chen Chen's spine.
He would rather wield a broadsword on the battlefield, fighting the enemy face-to-face for a hundred rounds than encounter an opponent like He Su.
That's terrifying!! If this were his stepmother, he might even thank her for giving him a quick death.
Rong Zhaonan chuckled lightly: "So, never underestimate your opponent just because they are a woman."
This was also a lesson that He Su taught him.
Later, he was able to change his way of thinking when he was with Ning Yuan, which finally made the curly-haired rabbit agree to follow him. This can be attributed to He Su to some extent.
"But we can't just let her get away with this, can we? She schemed against you like that!" Chen Chen gritted his teeth, indignant.
If it's an enemy on the battlefield, you can just take them out with a sniper shot. Even if it's someone like the Xiang family, you should fight them openly and honestly.
But He Su, on the surface, appears to have "not committed a crime"!
If they were to harm He Su, they would be the ones committing a crime! This is truly infuriating!
Rong Zhaonan narrowed his dark, long eyes: "First, tell the old man about her connection with Xiang San. The old man is investigating her. Then, also tell the old man about her contacting Ye Dong late at night when she had nothing to do."
There's no reason why I'm the only one busy running around.
The old man promised his mother-in-law that he would investigate He Su, and he was the kind of person who trusted those he employed and didn't employ those he didn't trust.
Once he discovers that He Su has connections with the Xiang family, he will never trust her again.
Chen Chen nodded and said coldly, "Don't worry, Captain!"
Rong Zhaonan stroked the Type 54 pistol in his hand, then suddenly remembered something: "Do you remember when Tang Jun inexplicably targeted Ning Yuan?"
Tang Jun is a pervert who enjoys torturing delicate and innocent young girls. He has a history of torturing and playing with innocent women.
But it was strange in itself to suddenly target Ning Yuan, someone who had absolutely no connection to him, not to mention that everything that followed was clearly a setup aimed at him.
Discovering that Tang Jun was actually a major spy turned out to be a "big bonus".
Chen Chen nodded, then suddenly remembered something: "Didn't the captain suspect that this matter was related to the Xiang family or He Su, but there was no evidence?"
“Because of Tang Jun’s family background, I initially suspected the Xiang family, especially after the Xiang brothers suddenly appeared in Shanghai and did those things.” Rong Zhaonan looked at the gun in his hand, his gaze inscrutable.
Chen Chen's heart skipped a beat: "Does the captain suspect...?"
Rong Zhaonan looked out the window: "He Su is also from Shanghai, which was one of the reasons I suspected her. But she hasn't been back to Shanghai for decades and doesn't hold any real position. In fact, she is far less suspicious than the more powerful Xiang family."
After Ning Yuan's incident, he asked Aheng to dig up dirt on Rong Xiangdong and kick him out of the company, which was more out of his dislike for He Su.
“Look at how much He Su has been running around since I returned to the capital. Who knows if she had any involvement in Tang Jun’s affair back then? Let’s tell the old man about it too,” Rong Zhaonan said.
