Around eight o'clock in the evening, Yu Zhiming, Qing Ning, and Zhou Mo hurried back to their home in Junshan Mansion.
Several people met Gu Qingran.
They also met Prince Changxu Ling Yuchuan and a handsome man in his early thirties.
But the man looked like he was in pain.
"Cousin Wei?!"
Qing Ning uttered a surprised cry, then immediately raised her eyebrows and glared, "Are you the one who's ruining my reputation behind my back?"
"You are also a member of the Gu family!"
When Yu Zhiming heard Qing Ning call out this man's name, he knew who he was.
Gu Qingwei, Qing Ning's distant cousin and the youngest vice president of Ning'an Pharmaceutical, is Gu Qingran's biggest competitor in becoming the financial helmsman of the Gu family.
Yu Zhiming quickly hugged Qing Ning, who was furious and ready to hit someone, and looked at Gu Qingran, hoping he would give a definite answer.
"Not him."
It was Ling Yuchuan who spoke first. Seeing Yu Zhiming and Qing Ning looking at him, he said with a bitter face, "She's my sister."
It was actually her?!
Qing Ning suddenly felt less angry.
In Qingning's impression, that woman always looked arrogant and domineering.
She still clearly remembered that seven or eight years ago, she had approached that woman to please her with the intention of indirectly approaching the outstanding Ling Yuchuan who was as high as the ceiling, and she was met with contempt and disgust on her face.
Now things have changed. The Ling family and the Gu family have formed an alliance, and she married Gu Qingwei last month.
Qing Ning also became the most outstanding fiancée of Yu Zhiming, whom even Ling Yuchuan wanted to curry favor with.
"Why?"
Qing Ning blurted out the question, then suddenly thought, "Let a rift appear between Zhiming and the Gu family so that the Ling family can take advantage of it?"
Ling Yuchuan nodded and sighed, "That's why Ning'an is developing rapidly and its market value has skyrocketed. It's on track to surpass Changxu Pharmaceutical and become the number one private pharmaceutical company."
"It made her feel bad."
At this time, Gu Qingwei finally spoke: "Qing Ning, I also have an unshirkable responsibility for what she did."
"I'm competing with your brother for the helmsman position, even though I appear confident and determined to win."
"But in private..."
Gu Qingwei looked at Yu Zhiming and said, "Doctor Yu has demonstrated unparalleled value. The power of one person is enough to promote the rapid development of Ning'an."
"To maintain my relationship with Dr. Yu, I know in my heart that as long as your brother is above par, I can't compete with him."
"I sometimes complain and feel negative in private, and that must have gone to her."
Ling Yuchuan took over and said slowly: "I also have responsibilities. I often envy and hate your Gu family's shitty luck. A medical genius fell from the sky, and your Gu family caught it, and then it soared."
"I, the former so-called Crown Prince of the Ling Family, had no choice but to befriend Dr. Yu and the Gu Family in order to secure opportunities for cooperation."
"I've said similar things to my sister more than once, and she must have taken them to heart."
"besides……"
Ling Yuchuan looked at Qing Ning again and said, "I asked her why she did that after I found out."
"She also told me that instead of resentment, jealousy would be a more appropriate word. She's jealous of you now."
"She said that before you were just a, a..."
Ling Yuchuan was hesitating whether to tell his sister about Qing Ning's evaluation of him, when Qing Ning said, "I admit that I was a bad girl that everyone disliked. I used to be a bit shameful."
Only then did Qing Ning realize that she was still held tightly in Yu Zhiming's arms.
She patted Yu Zhiming's arm and said, "You can let me go now. I've calmed down."
Ling Yuchuan looked at Qing Ning who was sorting her clothes and said with an embarrassed look on his face, "That's pretty much how she evaluated me."
"Now that you've become Dr. Yu's fiancée, you've instantly become the lucky star of many aristocratic families. You've become a role model for them to teach their daughters, and you've been highly praised."
"She's starting to feel unbalanced, so she wants to expose your true colors, break up you and Dr. Yu, let Qing Wei take over, and let our Ling family replace the Gu family as Dr. Yu's best partner."
Qing Ning said coldly, "For any reason, she cannot frame me by fabricating lies."
She then asked, "Did she regret what she did and confess? Or did you find out about it yourselves?"
After two or three seconds of silence, Ling Yuchuan said with a painful expression, "I noticed it. This morning, I spoke to her on the phone and we talked about your short video."
"From her proud and boastful words, I suddenly realized something was wrong. After some probing and questioning, she finally confessed to me that she was the one who did it."
Qing Ning looked around and asked, "Where is she?"
"Not here? Did she turn herself in, or were you guys taking her to the police station?"
"It can't be?"
Qing Ning said in disbelief, "She doesn't want to admit her mistake, nor does she want to accept punishment. She acted impulsively..."
"She went abroad!"
The one who said this was Gu Qingwei, who said, "I received a call from Yuchuan and immediately returned home to persuade her to surrender."
"I told her that Dr. Yu's connections were beyond her imagination, especially his relationship with the government. This matter was bound to be concealed, and turning herself in now would result in leniency."
"She was afraid of being ruined and going to jail..."
"I……"
Gu Qingwei didn't dare meet Qing Ning's sharp gaze. "I gave her a whole morning to think about it."
Qing Ning became angry again and said, "Ahhh, Gu Qingwei, you deliberately let her escape."
Yu Zhiming hugged Qing Ning again and said coldly, "Or maybe, you were the one who instigated her to do this, or even the mastermind behind it."
"Ling Yuchuan was able to sense something was wrong with just one phone call. You're husband and wife, sleeping in the same bed, and you didn't notice anything at all?"
These words startled Gu Qingran and Ling Yuchuan at the same time, and they fell into deep thought.
Especially Gu Qingran, he knew that Yu Zhiming was not good at interpersonal communication, but he could not doubt his intelligence.
Especially with Yu Zhiming's intelligence and purity, he can look at problems through phenomena and get to the essence.
Facing the scrutinizing gazes of Ling Yuchuan, Gu Qingran, and Qing Ning, Gu Qingwei stood up straight and said, "I admit that I couldn't bear it this morning and deliberately indulged myself."
"But in this case, perhaps my words and actions caused some misleading, but I absolutely did not intentionally incite subjective participation."
He defended himself, "Furthermore, I know that Dr. Yu has the power of the state behind him, and any wrongdoing would eventually be exposed. How could I have taken the initiative to participate in this?"
Gu Qingran analyzed, "Perhaps you think this isn't slander, but simply exposing the true Qing Ning."
"Qing Ning was indeed a bad girl in her early years. There were many unpleasant rumors about her, including some about her relationships with men and women."
He said in a deep voice, "To be honest, even as Qing Ning's biological brother, I don't believe she can keep herself clean in that regard. After all, in today's society, that aspect is becoming more and more casual."
When Qing Ning heard this, she glared at Gu Qingran angrily and waved her little fist at him.
Gu Qingran pretended not to notice and continued his analysis: "You induced your wife to look for disgraceful evidence against Qing Ning, but when she couldn't find any, she forged one without authorization."
"I wanted to use this opportunity to make Zhiming realize Qingning's terrible past. After all, few men can tolerate a wife with such a past."
"I just didn't expect that my Qing Ning is such a bad girl with a bottom line, and Zhi Ming also trusts her."
Gu Qingwei took a few deep breaths and lamented, "Gu Qingran, I regard you as my biggest rival, and I know that you also regard me as your biggest rival. However, there is really no need for you to take advantage of the opportunity to kick me when I'm down and prevent me from recovering."
"I am somewhat responsible for what happened, especially since I allowed my wife to leave today."
"I will withdraw from the race to run the economy."
Gu Qingwei looked at Yu Zhiming again and said, "Doctor Yu, whether you believe it or not, I really did not bewitch my wife."
"No matter what, I am also a member of the Gu family. I hope that the Gu family and Ning An will get better and better and will not cut off their own arms."
Qing Ning snorted, "No matter how well the Gu family and Ning'an develop, if you can't compete for the helm, it won't have much to do with you."
Gu Qingwei spread his hands and said, "If you believe that I am the real mastermind behind this, I have nothing to say."
"But when we go to the elders, they'll ask for evidence."
Yu Zhiming spoke again, "As for the so-called evidence, I can provide one. It's well known that I can detect subtle changes in the body and mind. Let's put it this way, even the most sophisticated lie detector in the world isn't as perceptive as me."
"I can tell if someone is lying just by testing them."
Yu Zhiming looked at Gu Qingwei and made an inviting gesture. "Whether you are involved in this matter, come with me to the soundproof bedroom upstairs and take a test to find out."
Gu Qingwei was silent for a moment, then he met the gazes of several people and suddenly laughed.
"I know the results of the polygraph, so they can't be used as evidence in court. But I believe, Dr. Yu, you're truly more powerful than a polygraph, able to tell whether a person is lying or telling the truth."
"but……"
Gu Qingwei said sternly, "Doctor Yu, given your close relationship with Gu Qingran and Gu Qingning, I don't trust your impartiality and objectivity."
"Therefore, I refuse to take your lie detector test."
He faced everyone's scrutinizing gazes and said, "If you don't believe me, I can't help you. The clear will be clear, and the turbid will be turbid."
After saying this, Gu Qingwei raised his leg and walked towards the door.
"Zhiming, let me go..."
Qing Ning waved his fists and kicked his legs, saying, "I'm so angry! I'm going to beat up this hypocritical bastard first to vent my anger..."
Before she could finish her words, she felt her body relax. She quickly took two steps and kicked Gu Qingwei...
