Bai Qingzhi was genuinely surprised when she saw Liu Chenghan. His face was swollen like a pig's head, and his eyes were covered in black and blue marks.
He even walks with a limp.
It's obvious he was hit.
Thinking of what Xiao Yuan had said about finding someone to take care of him, Bai Qingzhi actually felt a little sorry for Liu Chenghan.
Seeing that the two of them remained silent, Liu Chenghan hesitated for a long time before finally speaking:
"I've finally seen you."
Bai Qingzhi's eyes flickered, but she did not answer.
Liu Chenghan didn't seem to care and continued talking to himself:
"I'm sorry, I didn't keep my promise. I hope you can live a good life from now on and continue to be an innocent little princess." She finished with a forced smile.
Bai Qingzhi frowned.
“Mr. Liu, there’s no need for apologies. Let’s talk about what you said on the phone.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Chenghan burst into laughter.
He slowly stood up, looked at Bai Qingzhi, and said earnestly:
“His target was never Xiao Yuan, but your Bai family.”
After saying that, he ignored Bai Qingzhi's further questions and limped back to the prison.
The two had no choice but to come out, and as soon as they stepped out of the prison gate, the alarm sounded.
Liu Chenghan committed suicide.
Bai Qingzhi remained silent for a while, and Wenrou also didn't speak.
Xiao Yuan had been paying attention to what was happening inside, and upon hearing the news, he didn't react much. He simply pulled Bai Qingzhi into his arms.
As soon as Liu Chenghan finished speaking, Bai Qingzhi had a guess in her mind, but she did not tell him everything when Xiao Yuan asked her in the car.
Because they had something on their minds, Xiao Yuan and Bai Qingzhi got off the car in the city center, while the driver took Wenrou back to her studio.
Looking at the taillights, Bai Qingzhi took Xiao Yuan's arm and whispered as he looked over:
"I think the big boss came here because of my sister."
"You believe what he says?" Xiao Yuan asked, frowning.
It is very likely that Liu Chenghan was not telling the truth.
However, Bai Qingzhi gave a resolute answer:
“He was absolutely telling the truth about that, but then he added the Bai family, and what makes me most suspicious is his expression before he said all that.”
Although Liu Chenghan was watching her the whole time, Bai Qingzhi subconsciously felt that these words were not meant for her.
At the time, besides her, there was only Wenrou present.
The two exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of understanding in each other's eyes.
“I checked Wenrou’s background, and there’s nothing wrong with it. But what I find strange is that there are rumors in her village that the real Wenrou is dead, but it’s just a rumor.” Xiao Yuan said as he walked down the street with Bai Qingzhi in his hand.
"I suspect she has a close relationship with Liu Chenghan." Bai Qingzhi had this guess, but to be sure, she needed to ask someone knowledgeable.
When Mo Yunze arrived, Bai Qingzhi and the other person were already sitting in the milk tea shop, each having drunk half a cup of milk tea.
Looking around but not finding Bai Qinghuan, Mo Yunze couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
"Brother Yunze, is this the woman you saw with Liu Chenghan that day?" Bai Qingzhi took out a photo, showing a gentle figure from behind.
"How did you know I saw it?" Mo Yunze asked in surprise.
Bai Qingzhi felt somewhat helpless. He suddenly returned that day and acted so strangely. Moreover, Mo Yuze showed a sympathetic look when he saw her later. Anyone with a bit of intelligence could have guessed what was going on.
After a brief explanation, Mo Yunze suddenly realized what was going on and awkwardly scratched his head.
He had always been afraid that this matter would hurt Bai Qingzhi, so he had never said anything. He never expected that someone had already guessed it.
After carefully examining the photo, Mo Yunze finally nodded in confirmation.
Bai Qingzhi smiled. If that's the case, then everything makes sense.
What initially aroused her suspicion was the perfume that Wenrou had always used.
Although it was different from the one that stuck to Liu Chenghan that day, it belonged to the same type of herbal plant scent, and even though Wenrou changed it a few times later, it was all the same.
Mo Yunze didn't press Bai Qingzhi about who the woman was. He simply inquired about Bai Qinghuan's interests and hobbies from Bai Qingzhi in a flattering manner before leaving confidently.
"Do we need to take action?" Xiao Yuan asked.
Bai Qingzhi shook her head, then answered with a calculating look in her eyes:
"I was just worried about not being able to find any news about the big boss. Now that we have a breakthrough, let's make good use of it."
After speaking, Bai Qingzhi paused for a moment, her tone hesitant and conflicted for a long time before continuing:
"Your aunt introduced Wenrou to you back then, do you want her?"
Xiao Yuan paused after hearing this, then a cold glint appeared in his eyes.
"I'll investigate thoroughly. You should take good care of yourself."
Bai Qingzhi returned to the studio that evening, clapped her hands at the three of them, and announced that she would treat them to dinner that night.
At the same time, Bai Qingze also arrived.
Bai Qingzhi naturally didn't hide Liu Chenghan's words from her family, and Bai Qinghuan immediately said that she had a way to find out the big boss's true identity.
Bai's father also used his connections to plan some underhanded tactics within the company to lure the enemy out.
Since that person wants to deal with Bai Qinghuan, he must first eliminate the Bai family as an obstacle.
They've already put the hook up; now it's up to the big boss to decide whether to take the bait.
Bai Qingze made full use of his image as a gentle idol, constantly trying to win her favor at the dinner table.
Even though Wenrou was smiling on the surface, her body was subconsciously resisting.
Bai Qingzhi smiled faintly and remained silent. You used this excuse back then, and now it's perfect to use it to disgust you.
During the meeting, Bai Qingzhi also announced that the studio would be hiring a new design intern who would start work tomorrow.
The gathering didn't end until after nine o'clock. Now, Qiao Shanshan and Jiang Yan are living together, and Bai Qingze has also taken his younger sister home.
Wenrou gritted her teeth and returned to her rented room. She closed the door, angrily threw her things aside, and rushed into the bathroom.
I took a shower over and over again.
Once she felt that there were no other men around, Wenrou took out her phone, dialed a number, and unleashed a torrent of anger on the other end.
"Didn't you find out that Bai Qingze is not interested in women?!"
After saying something to the other person, Wenrou cursed a few more times and then smashed her phone.
At the same time, a knock sounded on the door. Wenrou dressed herself and opened the door, where two women who looked like servants were standing.
"Miss, here is your red wine."
She accepted it with gentle indifference, then slammed the door shut.
The two people outside showed no displeasure. After giving a warning through their earpieces to stay alert, they disappeared into the darkness.
Meanwhile, Bai Qingzhi and her brother had already entered the Bai family home, and Bai Qingze washed his hands with disgust.
"I feel like throwing up just looking at that woman's affected and pretentious expression, Qingzhi, can I regret it now?" Bai Qingze slumped onto the sofa in a disheveled state, wailing.
"It was clearly your own request, but I'm warning you, Second Brother, be careful not to go too far and end up killing you with gentleness one day," Bai Qingzhi said deliberately to scare him.
Bai Qingze rolled his eyes dismissively, then proudly patted his chest.
"I have the lucky charm Xiaoxiao gave me! It's essential for survival!"
