Su Yaoyao went downstairs and went straight to the guardhouse.
When the security guard saw Su Yaoyao arrive, he quickly greeted her.
"Miss Su, you've arrived?"
"Come, come, look, this is the woman I saw last night."
He pointed to a black figure on the computer screen, his brows furrowing slightly.
"It's just a bit of a pity that we couldn't get a picture of the woman's face."
Su Yaoyao turned her gaze to the computer screen, and when she saw the black figure, her eyes narrowed.
For some reason, the figure from behind gave her a very familiar feeling, as if she had seen it somewhere before.
Could it be someone she knows?
When Su Yaoyao returned, Bai Ruanruan seemed to have been coaxed into submission. Although she didn't know what Nan Jiangmu and Bai Ruanruan had talked about, Su Yaoyao breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Bai Ruanruan had calmed down.
As for that woman, she believed that if Bai Ruanruan wanted to investigate, probably no one could investigate faster than her. With that in mind, Su Yaoyao took her leave.
"Since you have nothing else to do, I'll head back now."
Bai Ruanruan originally wanted to invite Su Yaoyao to dinner, but Su Yaoyao politely declined.
"No, Huo Xiting is here to pick me up, I'll head back now."
Upon hearing this, Bai Ruanruan climbed to the window and looked out. Sure enough, she saw Huo Xiting's car parked downstairs.
Bai Ruanruan gave a slightly disappointed "Oh," and said, "Alright then, Sister Su, you can go back first."
Su Yaoyao smiled and said, "Then I'll be going now."
As she spoke, she closed the door and left.
Nan Jiangmu watched Su Yaoyao's departing figure, his eyes darkening, but in the end he said nothing.
...
Su Yaoyao and Huo Xiting returned to the villa together.
Huo Xiting went directly to the study upstairs.
Su Yaoyao frowned slightly as she watched Huo Xiting's retreating figure as he went upstairs. She had a vague feeling that Huo Xiting didn't seem to be in a good mood.
She went upstairs, washed up, changed into her pajamas, sat cross-legged on the bed, and turned on her computer.
She was immediately drawn to a trending topic as soon as she logged onto Weibo.
#Popular actress Su Qingqing meets down-on-her-luck CEO at a hotel and spends the night together!#
#This is what the pretty boy looks like in popular actress Su Qingqing's real face!#
Su Yaoyao stared blankly at the news dominating the trending topics, feeling as if something had tugged at her heartstrings.
However, compared to the trending topics, the comments below were even more varied and diverse.
"I wonder how much Yu Chiyan charges per night now."
"Upstairs, I bet it's not cheap. Do you want to give it a try?"
"I think I can do it, but I don't know how much it will differ from the market price."
"As if they'd willingly sell to you?"
"It doesn't matter who you sell to, what's wrong with selling it to me?"
"Upstairs, calm down. I heard he's not cheap."
"With his face and his physique, it's only fair that he charges a higher price!"
Su Yaoyao felt a lump in her throat looking at these insulting comments about Yu Chiyan, but the person involved didn't seem to want to clarify anything. This made Su Yaoyao wonder if Yu Chiyan really went to a hotel with Su Qingqing.
Thinking of this, Su Yaoyao's breathing suddenly became heavier.
If they really went to the hotel, did they sleep or not?
Su Yaoyao's mind was a complete mess, and finally she slammed the laptop shut.
Forget it, as long as she doesn't look at it, she won't overthink it. She should still trust Yu Chiyan...
...
In the study.
Huo Xiting sat behind his desk, a cigar between his fingers. The bluish-white smoke blurred his silhouette, but the faint chill emanating from him was impossible to ignore.
"How's it going over there?"
Wenqing nodded; "They should have already started fighting by now."
Upon hearing this, Huo Xiting closed his eyes. If things went smoothly, the next step was to prevent the news from reaching Yu Qing's ears.
After all, tomorrow is his engagement banquet with Su Yaoyao.
Huo Xiting closed his eyes, his mind racing with thoughts.
...
In the dead of night, a heavy rain, accompanied by thunder and lightning, swept towards the southern part of the city.
Thunder rumbled, and the torrential rain continued unabated, with large raindrops falling on the potholed, muddy, and remote path.
A group of well-trained men dressed in black clothes and boots braved the rain and moved through the night.
The group passed through a stone archway in a secluded alley, and the view suddenly opened up before them.
A courtyard house of moderate size came into view, with four doors, all of which were locked.
The man in the lead shone a flashlight, his gaze sweeping across the courtyard gate. His dark eyes, wet with rain, were faintly bloodshot.
"Brother Luo, is the thing here?"
The leader was Luo Tong, and his underlings asked him uncertainly.
Luo Tong narrowed his eyes slightly and tossed a bunch of keys to his underling.
"Go open the door and you'll see."
The younger brother took the key and jogged forward to open the door; "Okay, Brother Luo."
The door was opened, and several people rushed in, breaking through a hidden door. Inside, there were about two large truckloads of goods covered with a white sheet.
Luo Tong's expression changed, and he stepped forward personally, pulling back the white cloth to inspect it.
Seeing that the goods were normal, they were indeed the same batch that had been switched with the imperial court. It seemed that He Anrong had not lied to them after all.
Luo Tong smiled and turned to give instructions to his men.
"Everyone, hurry up and destroy this batch of goods so that the master can truly rest easy."
