"How did you all meet? Did you all form this circle of friends through Wu Mei?" Ye Ran calmly looked at Wu Zi.
Wu Zi didn't notice their earlier lapse in composure; she simply tilted her head back and glanced at them sideways. "Of course! That's Wu Mei's ability!"
She can make so many friends with just a wave of her hand; that's something most people can't do.
They never looked down on anyone, and everyone was very friendly to me when I went in.
They taught me this and that; I learned a lot from them!
"Really? Then... was that coat you gave me before also suggested by them?" Yan Xiu'er looked at her quietly and asked softly.
Upon hearing this, Wu Zi visibly panicked. She avoided Yan Xiu'er's gaze and stammered, "What...what coat..."
"You don't remember? I remember it very clearly! After all, it's been over forty years, and this is the first time you've given me a gift!"
"I still have it safely in my closet. Now that we've broken up, I'll give the coat back to you!" Yan Xiu'er said solemnly.
Upon hearing this, Wu Zi quickly waved her hand, "No need! Please don't give it back to me! I don't want that dress anymore."
Yan Xiu'er immediately looked at her dangerously, "Why? You don't seem like such a generous person. Is there something strange about that coat?"
"No! What's so strange about that dress? It's a piece of clothing that came back from overseas. Wu Mei specially gave it to me!" Wu Mei said hastily.
"I see... Alright, then I'll gladly accept your offer! Okay, I've finished asking my questions. I'll extend your time by one week."
"I want to see every penny of the money delivered to me in a week, or don't blame me for coming to your house." Having received the answer she wanted, Yan Xiu'er left without looking back.
Ye Ran followed, and before leaving, she glanced at Wu Zi one more time, and then suddenly felt that the conflicted and ashamed expression on Wu Zi's face was a little strange.
She silently noted it down in her mind, but she didn't know the reason for it, so she left with Yan Xiu'er first...
The two didn't linger on the road and went straight to the Lu family home in their car.
After returning home, they quickly told everyone about their discovery.
Upon hearing the name Wu Mei, everyone frowned.
Lu Yi gently stroked the teacup in his hand. "Wu Mei? We ran into her in the black market before, but we didn't realize she had much influence there!"
"In any case, this woman is very suspicious now, and she is very likely the one who got the bugging device."
"We can't abandon this lead; we must continue investigating along this woman's trail!" Lu Ting made the decision immediately.
Just as they were discussing how to approach the woman, Yan Wu rushed in excitedly.
As soon as he entered and saw everyone there, he excitedly exclaimed, "I've found something!"
"What did you find?" Everyone looked over expectantly.
Yan Wu grinned, revealing a set of bright white teeth. "We've found someone who knows that old lady from the black market!"
