The man's voice was flat, as if it could not arouse any emotion in the other party, even though it concerned a person's life and death: "Afterwards, the staff on the cruise ship also carried out a search and rescue operation, but unfortunately, they did not find Li Zhiqi from dark to dawn."
Upon hearing this, Li Ruo frowned sharply.
Something's not right...
Logically speaking, even if someone really did fall into the sea and die, it's impossible that their body hasn't been found by now.
As she pondered, Zhang Jiadong's voice continued: "Not only that, but to prevent it from affecting the company's business, the company's senior management directly blocked the matter, which is why no news has come out so far."
Li Ruo narrowed her eyes, but did not ask him why he knew so much.
She sighed, "Would it be convenient for us to meet?"
Upon hearing this, the other party remained silent for a moment before saying, "Okay!"
"Okay, let's meet tonight at the Night Bar."
"good."
Before Li Ruo could hang up, she heard Fu Zhiqing's voice coming from the other end of the phone.
Who is it?
"It's the dean."
"Him? You..."
Li Ruo hadn't listened to more than a few words when Zhang Jiadong hung up.
At this moment, Li Ruo couldn't help but frown. No wonder Zhang Jiadong would do things for Fu Zhiqing. It seemed that the connection between the two was deeper than she had imagined.
Thinking this, Li Ruo narrowed her eyes before driving towards the Nightshade Tavern.
As Li Ruo walked along, the night breeze blew, and she couldn't help but think of the message Zhang Jiadong had just sent her.
At this moment, she finally understood.
It's likely that Li Zhiqi's current predicament is inextricably linked to Fu Zhiqing.
But why is that?
After all, Fu Zhiqing and Li Zhiqi had collaborated many times before, and their bed photos had even been leaked. Could it be that the relationship between the two was not as good as he imagined?
Thinking of this, Li Ruo couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.
That makes sense. Fu Zhiqing is an arrogant woman who set her sights on Wen Huaiyan as soon as she returned to the country. How could she possibly be interested in Li Zhiqi?
I suppose they must have used some kind of method...
It's no wonder she's been living such a peaceful life lately; Fu Zhiqing has probably been busy dealing with Li Zhiqi's affairs.
With this in mind, Li Ruo quickly arrived outside the tavern.
Looking at the cool light sign, she took a deep breath and went inside.
Fortunately, it didn't take long before Zhang Jiadong arrived as promised.
He was dressed the same as before, in black clothes and a black hat, with the brim pulled low, making it impossible to see his face.
Fortunately, most of the people in the tavern were dressed in strange clothes, so he didn't stand out too much as he walked around.
At this moment, Li Ruo had been waiting in the private room for a long time.
Upon seeing him, I instinctively breathed a sigh of relief.
She was genuinely afraid that the man might break the contract at the last minute.
"You've arrived, please have a seat."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Jiadong's face darkened, and he simply nodded silently.
Li Ruo didn't seem to mind his coldness. She got up and poured him a glass of wine: "When I called you, were you with Fu Zhiqing?"
Zhang Jiadong moved his wine glass to his face and then looked up: "Yes, she asked me to keep an eye on Li Zhiqi's situation and make sure the news of his disappearance isn't reported too quickly."
Upon receiving this answer, Li Ruo was immediately surprised: "So all of this was planned by Fu Zhiqing? What exactly is the relationship between the two of them?"
Zhang Jiadong shook his head: "I don't know much, but from her occasional remarks, it seems that the relationship between the two is not very good. Moreover, they probably only cooperated for mutual benefit before, and there is a deep rift between them. In addition, Li Zhiqi knows a lot about Fu Zhiqing. This woman was affected by this engagement banquet and had murderous intentions."
Li Ruo nodded knowingly: "Then how did Fu Zhiqing push Li Zhiqi into the sea this time?"
"She bribed one of the waiters on board to lure him out when the cruise party started, and then pushed him overboard in a blind spot of the surveillance cameras on the deck."
Upon hearing this, a glint of malice flashed in Li Ruo's eyes: "Do you have any evidence?"
"No."
Zhang Jiadong shook his head: "Fu Zhiqing has more than just me under her command, and we basically all carry out missions alone, so we don't know each other at all."
Li Ruo pursed her lips, and after a long while, she raised her head and stared at the gloomy man in front of her: "No matter what, I still want you to go and see if you can find any evidence."
I will not attack unless attacked!
She originally didn't intend to make a move against Fu Zhiqing, but the other party had her eye on her.
Then she wouldn't hold back anymore!
If she has this evidence, it might become a weapon for her to bring down Fu Zhiqing in the future.
Hearing Li Ruo's instructions, Zhang Jiadong nodded: "I will do my best."
Seeing his obedient manner, Li Ruo pursed her lips: "By the way, from what I overheard of your conversation with her, she also knows about the director of the orphanage?"
Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, Zhang Jiadong's eyes immediately darkened.
Fu Zhiqing had previously promised to send money to Li Ruo once this matter was resolved.
But to his surprise, the woman changed her mind afterward.
