As soon as he finished speaking, Ling Mo's sharp eyes locked onto Ouyang Bin's face.
I had hoped to glean some clues about the mutation from his words and actions, but his expression was so impeccable that, judging from his appearance alone, there wasn't a single flaw to be found.
After a long while, Ling Mo, somewhat dejected, said, having gained nothing:
"This is indeed a rather tricky matter..."
"Third Sister-in-law, Ouyang Bin is an unfathomable man. With his return this time, he will surely launch a fierce revenge. In my opinion, it is best not to make any rash moves in the short term, but to observe the situation quietly," Huo Yunting said worriedly.
"Um."
Ling Mo nodded, agreeing quite readily.
However, as soon as she finished speaking, she followed Li Yuanyi into the women's restroom in a nonchalant manner.
She pondered that, in order to distinguish the real Ouyang Bin from the fake one, besides starting with him, she could also start with his bed partner.
After all, compared to the cunning Ouyang Bin, the straightforward and honest Li Yuanyi was obviously much easier to deal with.
Ling Mo glanced indifferently at Li Yuanyi, who was applying lipstick in front of the mirror, then suddenly raised his dark eyes and smiled casually at Li Yuanyi:
"I have long admired Ms. Li's reputation, and meeting her today confirms that it is indeed well-deserved."
"Oh? Where did Miss Zhan hear about me?" Li Yuanyi raised an eyebrow, slowly putting the setting powder in her hand into the bag slung over her arm, and then curiously looked at Ling Mo, who had a delicate face and noble temperament in front of the sink.
"That's not important."
"Then... what brings Miss Zhan here to see me?" Li Yuanyi was straightforward and couldn't stand beating around the bush, so she asked directly.
"Actually, it's nothing serious. I just wanted to ask you in person if you've seen the video of Mr. Ouyang committing suicide by shooting himself in the police station?" Ling Mo's sharp eyes fell on Li Yuanyi's delicate face, which was beautiful whether she wore light or heavy makeup, as if he wanted to take in every subtle expression of hers, making the already narrow and cramped area in front of the sink feel extremely oppressive.
Li Yuanyi felt a little uncomfortable under Ling Mo's gaze. She subconsciously turned her head away, pursed her thin, red lips until she had completely smoothed out the lipstick, and then answered casually:
"I've seen it. It's just a fake video created using computer technology, nothing to brag about."
"Don't you think that Ouyang Bin in the video looks more like him in real life? And the person who attended your engagement party today has a much stronger presence than the previous one. Ms. Li, don't you suspect that your husband has been secretly replaced?"
"How is that possible? Could it be that I don't even recognize the person I share my bed with?"
Li Yuanyi shouted excitedly, clearly not believing what Ling Mo said.
But when she calmed down and carefully recalled the details of her interactions with Ouyang Bin over the past few days, she quickly discovered the problem.
Previously, Ouyang Bin always liked to put his arm around her shoulder and would also take the initiative to kiss her.
But ever since that video went viral, Ouyang Bin seems to have become a completely different person, extremely cold and distant.
Not only was he unwilling to have any intimate physical contact with her, but even more unusually, he hadn't gone back to his room to sleep for several days, always saying he was busy with work, and disappearing as soon as night fell...
Thinking this, Li Yuanyi's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and an ominous premonition arose.
The next instant, she nervously grabbed Ling Mo's arm, her voice trembling noticeably:
"Miss Zhan, do you know something inside?"
"I only know that the video was not faked. As for the other details, I think Ms. Li knows more about them."
Ling Mo stared unblinkingly into Li Yuanyi's terrified eyes. In order to further extract information from her, he cleverly took advantage of her momentary lapse in attention and swiftly revealed the crystal ball pendant hidden in his palm, directly hypnotizing her.
Seeing that Li Yuanyi's eyes were fixed and slightly unfocused, Ling Mo knew the time was ripe. He quickly led her to a stall in the women's restroom and whispered:
"Ms. Li, please tell us how your subjective impression of Ouyang Bin has changed over the past few days."
Li Yuanyi's eyes dimmed, and he only nodded mechanically.
His tone was flat, as if there wasn't the slightest fluctuation in his emotions:
"A few days ago, after watching the video of my husband shooting himself, I was terrified and completely disoriented because the video was so realistic. Fortunately, he was standing in front of me safe and sound again in just over half a day."
After his safe return, his attitude towards me became noticeably colder. He always avoided me and even refused to share a room with me. However, I wonder if it's because he only cherished me after losing me again. I feel that my infatuation with him has returned to the level I had when we first met.
"When we first met..."
Ling Mo keenly grasped the key words and then asked:
"You mean, the feeling you get from Ouyang Bin now is similar to the feeling you had when you first met him?"
"Yes. When we first met, my husband was a penniless young man, but he always exuded a cold and aloof mystery. It was this inexplicable mystery that attracted me and made me dream about him."
"Aside from that, have there been any other changes in Ouyang Bin?"
Li Yuanyi seemed like an empty shell, devoid of soul and emotion, only answering questions woodenly:
"there is none left."
"I see."
