Chapter 22: Xu Fei came to deliver the good news. (1)
Gu Shaos men found out the details of what happened that night at Imperial Court Hotel.
As it turned out, while the Fourth Gu was having their wedding there that day, over on another floor of the hotel, the presidents and upper management of a few well-known companies in City B also had a gathering there that day.
During the gathering, Lin Yize had with him Song Kexin, who was his lover and secretary. Someone suggested for Song Kexin to dance for them but she refused. That angered Lin Yize and, for that, he had offered up Song Kexin as a toy for the others.
Lin Yize left with another woman that was offered up to him and Song Kexin was forced to drink a glass of wine by the others.
It was chaotic but Song Kexin was able to escape at the crucial moment.
Once the alcohol had kicked in, Song Kexin ran around in a frenzy. She wasnt able to get out of the hotel but ended up in Gu Shaos rest area inadvertently.
Gu Shao was unconscious in the rest area at the time but the plot against him by the Gu family was not yet over.
Supposedly, Fourth Gus newly wedded wife was supposed to walk into his rest area inadvertently. Lo and behold, Song Kexin truly ended up there inadvertently.
As Lin Yize had exercised the power of the Lin family to clean up all evidences before we found out and that our main focus wasnt this in the past, we have overlooked this part. This was our mistake, said the man on the phone with a lowered voice.
This document was much more detailed than the one on Lin Yize and Song Kexin. It started from Lin Xis birth, from her family life to her school life, including every one of her examination scores. The amount of effort that was put into this document was obvious.
Gu Shao quickly flipped to the very end of it. Village Zhang?
Its where Song Kexins mother grew up. A few days ago, the Lins chauffeur took Zhang Cui and Miss Lin Xi to Village Zhang. Zhang Cui left Lin Xi with a relative and returned to City B.
Itd seem that the Lin family planned to have Miss Lin Xi stay in the village temporarily. What we dont know was how Lin Xi was able to leave Village Zhang and found you.
Is there anything else? asked Gu Shao.
This is all we have so far, replied the man. He thought about some and added, Village Zhang is quite a bit of distance from City B. It must not have been easy for Miss Lin Xi to reach you.
His attitude toward this matter surprised Gu Shao. As far as he knew, Wang Wu was not one to express his personal thoughts at work.
-- Wang Wu had gone through all of Lin Xis information during the investigation. Most everyone was drawn to a strong and outstanding girl like her. And, from the information, Lin Xi did not have a very happy childhood at the Lin family.
Okay. I get it, said Gu Shao before he ended the conversation and returned to the venue.
