Thanks to him and his brother?
Ye Xinglan looked at Gu Junzhu with apparent confusion in his eyes.
Gu Junzhu grinned at him playfully. “Thanks to your fools who couldn’t figure out who switched Beibei’s life-saving chocolate, I had to send someone to investigate myself.”
“The people Beibei suspected were none other than Shi Qianling and Leng Peini. During my investigation, I discovered that the second Miss Shi is malicious and two-faced. Considering she could freely access Beibei’s room and her handbag, we also listed her as a suspect.”
Gu Junzhu looked at the projection on the wall. “That surveillance footage was taken by my people while monitoring Shi Qianying. At first, they thought it was just a quarrel between Shi Qianying and her girl friend and didn’t take it to heart. Later, my men found out that the chocolate was switched by Leng Peini and had nothing to do with Shi Qianying, so they stopped monitoring her.”
“Know thy self, know thy enemy. A thousand battles, a thousand victories. As Shi Qianying harassed Yu Nuo, I had people look into her background again. Incidentally, my people heard news about the Young Lady of the Chi family disappearing for half a month, and after she was found, she suffered mental instability. They also saw a photograph of Chi Qing.”
“They realized Chi Qing was the girl forcefully dragged into the villa by Shi Qianying. They reviewed the footage they shot and compared the timings. They found that the day Chi Qing disappeared coincided with the day she was with Shi Qianying.”
Gu Junzhu looked at the projection on the wall, his face showing a look of regret. “It’s a pity nobody can predict the future. If they knew what Chi Qing would turn into after she entered the villa that day, they would have lent a hand.”
Chi Qing was two years younger than Ye Xiaobei.
Nineteen, an age as beautiful as a flower.
They say she was a very simple and lovely girl, but now she has turned into this.
Chi Qing was well-behaved, understanding, and close-knit with Chi Yu and Chi Zhan.
After finding Chi Qing, the Chi family never gave up searching for the culprit who hurt her. Unfortunately, they never found any clues.
Now that they know Chi Qing’s transformation is related to the Shi family, it’s only natural for the two sides to become bitter enemies upon meeting.
Ye Xinglan was also looking at the projection on the wall, his fingers twirling uneasily at his side.
Of course, he knew Chi Qing.
She was a very gentle and lovely girl. When he was on good terms with Chi Yu, he would occasionally visit the Chi house. The girl would always make coffee and serve them fruits with her own hands.
When he found out Chi Qing had been recovered, but had lost her mind, he felt deep regret.
However, he never would have thought that Chi Qing’s disappearance had anything to do with Shi Qianying.
He pursed his lips and looked at Gu Junzhu. “Fifth Brother, I don’t understand. The Shi and the Chi family don’t have a good relationship. How would Chi Qing and Xiao Ying have any contact in private?”
“It’s because of the man in the video,” Gu Junzhu looked at the projection on the wall and said calmly. “That man is Shi Qianying’s man. Chi Qing went to that villa to find him.”
Ye Xinglan stared at the projection on the wall, looking a bit dazed.
Gu Junzhu’s words allowed him to sketch out a rough outline of the whole incident in his mind.
If Shi Qianying was to be thought of as malicious, then the incident would have unfolded like this.
The Shi family and the Chi family were at odds.
Perhaps Shi Qianying and Chi Qing had a conflict over something, and Shi Qianying grew to resent Chi Qing.
Shi Qianying sent a very charming man under her to seduce Chi Qing.
