Chapter 279
It turned out that three months ago, he had the chance to know that Rong Shu was the real Maple Leaf.
Three months ago, he had just divorced Rong Shu. If he had known at that time that Rong Shu was the real Maple Leaf, Gu Manyin would not have had the chance to lay hands on Rong Shu, and perhaps he would have recovered Rong Shu long ago.
But, there was no if!
It was true that there was a reason for Jing Lin to have missed out on recognising Rongshu.
But he had to admit that it was also his own fault. If he had strengthened his conviction and snatched the letter back when Jing Lin snatched it away, things would not have come to this stage.
I can only say that it was all a trick of God!
Over there, Fu Jinglin, who had been hung up on by Fu Jingting, was so anxious that he was walking around with his mobile phone, “Oh no, this is terrible, big brother must hate me to death!”
He also regretted why he hadn’t let his elder brother read the letter at that time.
If he had read it, there would have been nothing left for Gu Manyin to do, and he and Sister Rongshu would have remarried long ago.
And yet, he had messed it all up!
“No, we have to find a way to make up for it.” Fu Jinglin’s eyes rolled and then called Rong Shu, “Sister Rong Shu, help!”
Rong Shu was working on the documents and didn’t even look at her phone, so she answered the call straight away, not expecting it to be Fu Jinglin calling and asking her to save her life as soon as she arrived.
“What’s wrong? In the bureau again?” Rongshu clipped the phone to her shoulder and asked indifferently.
Fu Jinglin pooh-poohed, “Who’s in jail? Can’t you wish me well, Sister Rongshu?”
“It’s not that I don’t want to wish you well, it’s that you look like you’re destined for the bureau.” Rongshu said as she signed.
Fu Jinglin’s face turned red with anger, “Sister Rongshu, you’re too much!”
“Come on, I’m joking with you, what’s the matter, I’m still busy.” Rongshu closed the signed document and put it aside before taking another copy to continue processing.
Fu Jinglin scratched his hair and said sullenly, “It’s like this, I might be held in grudge by my big brother!”
Immediately afterwards, he told them about the letter.
After listening to this, the pen in her hand stopped, and only then did she realise that something like this had happened after this boy had taken that letter.
Seeing that Rong Shu did not say anything, Fu Jinglin became anxious, “Sister Rong Shu, my big brother hates me to death this time, you must save me!”
“Sorry, this is your family’s family matter, I won’t interfere.” Rong Shu finished and continued to read the document.
Fu Jinglin didn’t expect her to refuse, blinking in dismay, “Why, this can concern you too, if it wasn’t for me ……”
“Okay, don’t keep talking!” The fact is that you are the only one who can say that it’s because of you that your brother and I didn’t recognize each other, right?”
Fu Jinglin nodded repeatedly, “Yes, if I had let big brother read the letter at that time, perhaps you and my big brother would have remarried long ago.”
“You’re wrong!” Rong Shu expressionlessly turned the document over a page, “Even if you had shown the letter to Fu Jingting at that time, he and I would not have remarried.”
“Why?” Fu Jinglin’s mouth opened wide in surprise.
Rong Shu’s red lips lightly opened and her voice was cool and light as she replied, “There is no reason, but if I were to say why, it would be that I don’t love him, so why would I want to remarry a man I don’t love?”
With that, she hung up the phone.
At that moment, there was a knock on the office door.
Without raising her head, Rongshu spat out, “Come in!”
Tong Xi put down her hand and walked in, stopping in front of her desk, “Mr. Rong, the police just called, saying that they want you to go to the police station, and that they have caught the person who put the horrible images on your floor-to-ceiling windows!”
Hearing this, Rong Shu lifted her head at once, “Caught?”
“Yes!” Secretary Tong nodded her head.
Rong Shu smiled.
There was no response from the police station for so long, she thought that the police station had failed to catch the person and closed the case privately.
“I know, I’ll be right over!” Rongshu put down her pen, picked up her bag and headed for the office door.
Just as she left the office, she saw Li Chuan who was walking towards her.
“Sister, are you going out?” Li Chuan stopped opposite Rongshu and asked, looking at the bag on Rongshu’s shoulder.
Rong Shu nodded slightly, “Yes, a trip to the police station.”
“To the police station?” Li Chuan narrowed his eyes imperceptibly, “Sis, is something wrong?”
“It’s not a big deal, I caught a suspicious person who dropped a skeleton image on my floor-to-ceiling window in the middle of the night!” Rong Shu said back concisely.
Li Chuan’s face sank, “Dropping skeletons on your floor-to-ceiling windows in the middle of the night?”
“Yes!”
“Sis, why didn’t you tell me about this?” Li Chuan pulled on Rong Shu’s hand, his eyes full of disapproval, “What if that person is some kind of vicious person?”
Looking at his nervous and concerned eyes, Rong Shu’s heart warmed up as she smiled and patted the back of his hand, “Don’t worry, I’m fine, and I’ve already caught him.”
“I know you’re fine, but just because you’re fine this time doesn’t mean you’ll be fine next time!” Li Chuan was still unsure.
Rongshu smiled, “Okay, okay, I know, next time I’ll be the first to tell you if there’s anything, okay?”
Only then did Li Chuan nod his head in satisfaction and gave a hmph.
Rongshu cried and laughed, “Alright, I’m going to the police station first, if you need something from me, wait for me to come back and talk.”
“I’m fine, I just came over to see you, since you’re going, then I’ll accompany you.”
After saying that, afraid of her refusal, Li Chuan directly took her hand and walked towards the lift.
In the car.
Rong Shu, who was sitting on the pa*senger side, suddenly remembered something and twisted her head to look at Li Chuan who was driving, “Right Xiao Chuan, didn’t I tell you last time that Xingnuo needed your hair, you said to think about it, how is it going?”
The first time I heard this, Li Chuan’s eyes flickered, but he quickly regained his composure and smiled gently and said, “I think it’s better to forget it, I am my parents’ biological, how can I be someone else’s son, as for her saying that I look like her master, I guess it’s just fate, after all, there are not many people who look alike in the world.”
“That’s true.” Rongshu propped up her head, “I’ve seen pictures of your parents, you do look quite similar to them, maybe it really is Starling who is mistaken, how about this, I’ll talk to Starling later and tell her to stop playing with your hair.”
“Mhm.” Li Chuan smiled and nodded his head.
When Rong Shu turned her head towards the car window and looked out at the scenery, the smile on his face instantly disappeared and was replaced by a face full of distortion and hatred.
That old thing of Ye Guoliang’s, who had abandoned him and his mother back then and was now dying, had come back for him after knowing that his other sons were unreliable.
Did Ye Guoliang really think that he would be able to rest easy when he went back?
Heh, naive!
He wanted Ye Guoliang to die even more than his other brothers!
Ten minutes later, the police station arrived.
Li Chuan parked the car, and Rong Shu had just opened the door to get down, when suddenly another car came, honking its horn towards her, signalling her to get out of the way.
Rongshu frowned and took a few steps forward, the car followed suit and finally stopped in the empty space where she had just stood.
Soon, the door of the car opened and a man familiar to Rongshu came down, Gu Yaotian!
Gu Yaotian had looked at Rong Shu from the car, so there was no surprise.
As they looked at each other, Gu Yaotian’s old face was grim as he asked, “What are you doing here at the police station?”
“This is my personal matter, it seems to have nothing to do with Mr. Gu, right?” Rongshu smiled lightly as she returned.
Li Chuan was even more direct, and after sweeping a glance at Gu Yaotian, he said to Rong Shu, “Sister, there’s no need to waste time with irrelevant people, let’s go in first.”
Rong Shu nodded her head slightly.
But just as she was about to turn around, Gu Yaotian suddenly narrowed his eyes and called out to her, “Stop!”
Chapter 280
Rongshu stopped in her tracks, “Is there anything else from Mr. Gu?”
Li Chuan also looked back at Gu Yaotian.
Gu Yaotian took a few steps towards the two of them and stared at Rong Shu with gloomy eyes, “Was it you who did the incident of Mangyin being bullied?”
At first, he did think that Mangyin’s bullying was just an accident.
But later, when he calmed down and analyzed carefully, he found that there was more behind the incident than that.
If Mangyin had only been bullied by accident, then the person who bullied Mangyin would never have thrown Mangyin into the downtown area for fear of being caught.
But the person who bullied Mangyin dropped her off in the downtown area and let her be exposed to the public eye on purpose, in order to ruin her, so there is a hand at work in this matter.
And the most likely one is Rong Shu.
She was the only one who had a deep-seated hatred for Mangyin!
Hearing Gu Yaotian’s questioning, Rong Shu was furious, “What, you can’t find the real culprit, so you’re throwing the pot on my head?”
Li Chuan, who was beside her, didn’t say anything and lowered his eyelids.
Gu Yaotian snorted coldly, “I’m not asking you to take the blame, my intuition tells me that this matter must be related to you!”
Rong Shu’s eyes flickered slightly.
He was right, this matter did have something to do with her.
Although it was Lin Tianchen who had struck, Lin Tianchen had done it for her, so it was right to say that it was related to her!
But so what, she wouldn’t just deny it.
Thinking, Rong Shu hooked her lips, “Convicting me just by intuition, no wonder Sangsheng Group is getting worse and worse now, I heard that Mr. Fu has cancelled all the cooperation between Fu’s and Sangsheng, so congratulations to Mr. Gu.”
“You ……” Gu Yaohui blew his beard and glared at him for a while before he sneered and said, “What a sharp-tongued little girl!”
This girl is clearly sarcastic that he is now managing Samsun by intuition and has no real skills!
She even mocked him for offending Fu Jingting by posting the video, and thinking that Fu Jingting would not cancel the cooperation, and then being slapped in the face by Fu Jingting.
This little girl, she’s really not easy to deal with!
Gu Yaotian looked at Rong Shu sorrowfully.
Rong Shu was not afraid at all, instead she smiled and looked at him, “Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Gu, I think there is nothing wrong with being eloquent, at least when I meet someone I hate, I can talk to him like a grandson, what do you think, Mr. Gu?”
The corners of Gu Yaotian’s mouth twitched, where he couldn’t hear that she was connoting him.
But he couldn’t get angry, otherwise he would be admitting that he was a grandson!
Thinking about this, Gu Yaotian took several deep breaths before he could barely suppress the anger in his heart and forced out a false smile, “You said it!”
“Pfft!” Li Chuan directly laughed out without giving face.
Gu Yaotian glared at him fiercely, as if he wanted to glare two holes out of him.
Sensing this, Li Chuan slowly withdrew the laughter from his face and gazed at him.
Looking into Li Chuan’s dark, cold eyes, Gu Yaotian felt as if he was staring at a jackal, causing his heart to tremble and his scalp to tingle.
What was going on?
How could this little model have such a terrifying look in her eyes?
Especially when that look was so familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere, where?
Gu Yaotian wrinkled his brow, unable to recall.
Rongshu looked at the time, “Alright Xiaochuan, let’s go!”
A smile resurfaced on Li Chuan’s face and he gave a gentle hmph.
The two of them walked forward.
Gu Yaotian also finally came back to his senses, his gaze darkened as he looked at their backs and shouted, “Rong Shu, you better pray to God that you don’t let me find out that Mangyin’s affair is really related to you, or else I will never let you off even if my family loses everything!”
Mangyin was his intended marriage to the Fu family, but now that this had happened, even if he forced Mangyin and Jing Ting to cook their rice, it was no longer possible.
So how could he not be angry when his years of hard work were now ruined?
When Rongshu heard Gu Yaotian’s threatening words, she paused in her steps for a moment, then without looking back, she coldly replied, “Really, then I’ll wait.”
Li Chuan did not say anything, but he turned back, his eyes even colder than before, staring at Gu Yaotian, as if he wanted to keep Gu Yaotian firmly in his heart, and only when he was about to go up the steps did he turn his head back.
Outside the interrogation room, Rong Shu stood in front of the door and saw the suspect inside through the gla*s in the door, an ordinary looking man with a thin build.
The man was sitting on a chair, wrapped in a grey trench coat, his neck and shoulders hunched together in a scared and uneasy manner.
That’s right, he’d been arrested and brought into the police station, so it was strange that he wasn’t afraid!
“Is he the one who put that image on my floor-to-ceiling window?” Rongshu asked the male police officer next to her after looking at him for a while and withdrawing her gaze.
On the contrary, Li Chuan continued to stare at the man, not knowing what he was thinking.
Rongshu didn’t care either, and just looked at the male police officer, waiting for his answer.
The male police officer nodded, “Yes, we checked the surveillance of several road sections and finally locked him in, his name is Shi Dafan, a dog boy!”
“Dog boy?” Rong Shu raised her eyebrows.
No wonder when she found this person that night, this person immediately hid the tools of the crime in his clothes and ran away with his head buried.
She had felt familiar with this action at the time, wasn’t it the same way a doggy would run away when he was caught stalking an artist.
“Did he explain why he put the horrific images on my sister’s window?” At this point, Li Chuan wasn’t looking at Shi Dafan anymore and turned to the male police officer to ask him.
Rongshu slapped her forehead, “Yes, I almost forgot to ask.”
“Yes, after he was brought in, he gave an honest account when we asked him, he said he was paid 100,000 by a lady called Meng Ke to do so, in order to scare you, Miss Rong.”
“Meng Ke?” Rong Shu and Li Chuan exclaimed in shock at the same time.
Obviously neither of them had expected that it was actually Meng Ke who had done it.
On their way here, they were still speculating whether Gu Manyin had asked this man to do it.
It turned out to be beyond their expectation, it was Meng Ke!
“Then did this Shi Dafan say why Meng Ke wanted to scare me?” Rongshu asked again with pursed red lips.
The male police officer shook his head, “That to no, that Shi Dafan didn’t ask either, so if you want to know, you can only ask Ms. Meng Ke yourself.”
“I see.” Rong Shu rubbed her temples, “This matter, although not considered a criminal case, has constituted the crime of intimidation, so I am now calling the police for the crime of intimidation and requesting you to bring Meng Ke here, is that okay?” Rongshu looked at the male police officer.
The male police officer smiled, “Of course not, I’ll inform them to summon someone here, you can take a break next to them now.”
Rongshu hmphed, “Okay, thanks a lot.”
The male policeman walked away.
Rongshu and Li Chuan went and sat down in front of the row of chairs next to them and waited for Meng Ke to come over.
As for the man in the interrogation room, Rongshu wasn’t interested in going in to meet him, all the questions that should be asked had already been asked on the police station’s side.
The man was paid to do his job, and he didn’t know much, so it would be a waste of time to ask him anything else.
At the hospital, Meng Ke was ready to go back after seeing Gu Manyin, and had just stepped out of the lift when she received a call from the police station.
“Excuse me, is this Miss Meng Ke?”
“I am, who is this?” Meng Ke asked with a face full of confusion, her heart inexplicably starting to feel uneasy.
“This is the police station on my side.”
“The police station?” Meng Ke’s voice drew up all of a sudden, attracting curious looks from the patients and medical staff nearby, among them a*sistant Zhang who was carrying a bag of medicine.
“That …… you looking for me for something?” Meng Ke swallowed and asked with a slightly trembling voice.
Ever since she was detained for half a month last time, she was now scared when she heard the police station or words related to it.
Especially, she had recently done something that she didn’t know if it was considered a crime.
