Chapter 104 Let Her Show Off First
Lu Xiao used his connections and quietly began to investigate Su Xinyao's background.
Especially her experience after she replaced Su Tang and got the quota to go abroad, and after returning to the city.
His original intention was to find some stain on her work or life, so as to ruin her reputation and make her completely helpless.
However, the results of the investigation were unexpected.
"Lu Xiao, that Su Xinyao you asked me to investigate is quite interesting."
Lu Xiao still found Lao Geng to help him find out the news. There was a hint of amusement in Lao Geng's voice on the phone.
"Her job may seem glamorous on the surface, but it's quite sloppy. She got in through connections. Her abilities are average, and her popularity... haha. I heard she's quite good at handling things, and she's offended quite a few people. But that's not the point."
Lu Xiao's eyes narrowed: "Speak to the point."
"The point is, her trip abroad to gild her reputation was incredibly exaggerated."
Lao Geng lowered his voice a bit. "It was actually a short-term training course. She was back in a few months. Also, someone familiar with the matter revealed that during the time she was away... she wasn't very well behaved."
Lu Xiao tapped his fingers lightly on the table: "Be more specific."
"She's hooking up with a wealthy overseas Chinese guy over there. I heard they're having a passionate affair and...she's pregnant!"
There was a hint of contempt in Lao Geng's voice.
"It turns out that the young man is just a playboy. He dumped her after having fun and didn't want to take any responsibility. She came back dejected, and the child must have been secretly disposed of."
A cold light flashed in Lu Xiao's eyes.
"evidence?"
"It's been a while, so direct evidence is hard to find. However, the person who led the team back then, and the female comrade who went out with her at the same time and then had a falling out, should know something about the situation. We can probably find a way to pry her out."
Lao Geng paused, his tone becoming even more mysterious.
"Also, when checking her file, I found an even more interesting suspicious point. The recommendation she used to replace her brother and sister-in-law might have had issues. On the paperwork, someone's signature didn't match the handwriting.
It's suspected that she used the name of another person who was more qualified at the time, but whose family background was somewhat questionable. If this is confirmed, it's not just a matter of conduct, it's a fraud, and she'll be in big trouble! "
The corners of Lu Xiao's mouth slowly curled up into a cold and sharp arc.
It was really like searching for a needle in a haystack. He originally just wanted to teach her a profound lesson, but he didn't expect to accidentally dig up such a dirty old account.
Su Xinyao, ah, Su Xinyao, you are really good at hiding it.
It turns out that every step you took to climb up with Tangtang was stained with filth and lies.
"Old Geng, please help me continue investigating."
Lu Xiao's voice was firm and cold.
"Dig up every detail of the suspicious circumstances surrounding the quota substitution, including the time, location, and possible insiders regarding her handling of the child while she was abroad! Quickly, accurately, and with irrefutable evidence!"
After hanging up the phone, Lu Xiao stood in front of the window, looking at the dark night outside, his eyes as deep as a cold pond.
Su Xinyao's secret was even more unbearable than he had imagined.
With these dirty cards in hand, he had ten thousand ways to make her pay the most painful price for her past evil deeds and today's provocation.
He would never give her any chance to hurt Tangtang and her family again.
…
During the following period, Su Tang visited Su's father and mother several times.
That day, when Su Tang woke up, the seat next to her was empty. Lu Xiao had gotten up without her knowing.
She got out of bed, put on her clothes, and just as she walked into the living room, she heard low conversation coming from the study.
When I opened the door, Lu Xiao was giving instructions in a deep voice on the phone.
Seeing Su Tang come in, he raised his hand to signal to wait and spoke faster.
After hanging up the phone, Lu Xiao turned around and took her into his arms: "Are you awake?"
"How's the investigation going?"
Su Tang looked up at him, with a hint of nervousness in his eyes.
Lu Xiao stroked the top of her head with his fingertips and told her about Lao Geng's findings.
Hearing that Su Xinyao had used a short-term training course to pretend she was studying abroad, Su Tang couldn't help but frown: "Isn't she afraid of being exposed?"
"With limited information, who would go out of their way to check someone's background?"
"But things are different now. Doesn't she always like to show off her overseas experience in front of others? This is a good opportunity for her to show off."
Su Tang was silent for a moment, then said softly, "The person who was replaced that year..."
"It's a girl named Song Wan. Old Geng found out she's currently working as a temporary worker in a neighborhood factory. It's said she was deeply traumatized by this incident and has become quite withdrawn."
As he was speaking, the sound of bicycle bells came from outside the yard.
Lu Xiao walked to the window and looked back, saying, "Dad is back from morning exercise. I'll go prepare breakfast."
At the dinner table, Dad Su looked at his daughter, seeming to be hesitant to speak.
He sighed, realizing what his daughter wanted to say, as his wife had told him everything.
He put down his chopsticks and took out a manila envelope from the drawer.
"This is the medicine bottle I found under Su Xinyao's pillow. I've kept it."
The label on the glass bottle had long been torn off, but a faint medicinal smell still remained at the neck of the bottle.
Lu Xiao took it and examined it carefully: "There's a pharmacy number on the bottom of this bottle. Maybe we can find the prescription records from that year."
What Su's father gave is solid evidence.
Su Tang looked at the small glass bottle and asked, "Dad, you've never been willing to throw it away?"
When Su Tang raised his eyes, he saw that the white hair on his father's temples was particularly dazzling in the morning light.
Father Su pushed up his glasses, his gaze behind the lenses as deep as a pool. "I always wonder what if... Now it seems like it's time to let it see the light of day."
Lu Xiao carefully put the medicine bottle into the evidence bag and listened to Su Tang say something.
"By the way, yesterday a colleague at the hospital said that Su Xinyao has been running to the dean's office a lot lately, and seems to be vying for the position of director of internal medicine."
Hearing this, Lu Xiao paused while scooping the porridge. He looked up at Su Tang, a cold glint in his eyes: "Director of Internal Medicine? She's quite ambitious."
Father Su put down his chopsticks, frowning. "With her limited abilities, she dares to covet the position of director? I'm afraid she has some evil intentions again."
He had been in college for so many years and had seen many people who climbed up the ladder by using unconventional means. He knew Su Xinyao's methods very well.
Su Tang stirred the porridge in the bowl, his tone calm but with a hint of sarcasm.
"I heard she's been quite active in the hospital lately, giving gifts to leaders and bragging to colleagues about her overseas experience, claiming she learned advanced diagnostic and treatment techniques. Many people who don't know the truth have been genuinely intimidated by her."
Lu Xiao sneered, "Advanced technology? What real stuff can you learn in a short-term training course of a few months? I'm afraid it's just some fancy stuff."
He put down the bowl and wiped the corner of his mouth with a napkin. "She wants to compete for this position. It's just right. We don't have to look for another opportunity. Let her fall at this critical moment and fall even harder."
Su Tang looked at Lu Xiao with a questioning look in his eyes: "What do you mean..."
