After Tang Anran changed her clothes and removed the makeup on her face, she was sitting on the makeup chair while the stylist was removing the hair accessories from her head.

She sat obediently, unaware of the tugging in her hair, and her mind was all glued to the phone screen.

Jing Xiaotao watched the whole process from the sidelines, while Tang Anran held the phone in both hands, and entered two sentences carefully in the wechat chat interface with Xi Zhu, but after thinking about it with eyebrows, she deleted them all again.

"Alas." Several times, Tang Anran seemed discouraged, his shoulders sank, and he sighed softly while clutching his phone.

Jing Xiaotao saw that she wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask, so she finally couldn't help reminding, "Sister Ran, if you want to ask Teacher Su if you're not feeling well, just ask, it's nothing, don't get so entangled."

Tang Anran's eyelashes trembled, as if thinking about it, before hesitating in a low voice:

"But, I'm worried...what if I disturb her rashly..."

"How could you bother her?" Jing Xiaotao asked helplessly, seeing Tang Anran's looking forward and backward, she almost laughed out of helplessness.

Tang Anran grimaced, and muttered puzzledly: "What are you laughing at?"

"Cough." Jing Xiaotao stopped her expression in time, cleared her throat, and moved closer to Tang Anran.

Just listen to her lowering her voice and analyzing the situation one by one:

"Sister, you and Mr. Su are now considered partners. If one party is feeling unwell, the other party should inquire. This is reasonable."

"Besides, as a junior, you should also greet me. Teacher Su is not feeling well, so it's against the rules for you not to say anything."

"Besides, you are just sending a message to her assistant, not directly contacting Teacher Su, let alone worrying about disturbing her."

With Jing Xiaotao's fair face and serious features, what she said at this time seemed somewhat convincing.

After hearing this, Tang Anran raised her eyes sharply, as if she was suddenly awakened.

Suddenly realized.

That's right, now she is no longer an insignificant passer-by.

If Teacher Su is really unwell, whether she is a junior or a partner, she should take care of her emotionally and rationally. This is even what she should do.

So what is she struggling with here?

Tang Anran slapped himself on the forehead in a sudden realization, the authorities were really confused by the bystanders, what was he trying to do here?

After reacting, she didn't hesitate anymore, and immediately clicked out the dialog box again, and typed the two lines of words that she had been pondering over and over again in a natural tone.

Read it twice more and click send.

On the 32nd floor of Xingzhou Building, the office of the assistant to the chairman.

In the big office with a great view, Xi Zhu was making stomach-warming tea for Su Qingji in the tea booth. The mobile phone she put aside vibrated with a new message. After pouring a cup of tea, she picked up the mobile phone and opened WeChat to check.

Teacher Tang: [Xi Zhuli, just now I saw you and Teacher Su walking away in a hurry, I seem to...see Teacher Su covering her stomach with her hands, looking uncomfortable, is she feeling sick?It doesn't matter, are you okay? 】

Xi Zhu held the mobile phone in his left hand and a spoon in his right hand to stir the tea in the cup to let it cool down as soon as possible.

After reading the message, she didn't reply immediately, but put her phone in her pocket, and walked out of the cubicle with a water glass.

Su Qingji lay halfway on the large sofa, but she was still covered with a thin blanket under the sun, and the cold sweat on her forehead did not fade.

The painkillers are gradually taking effect, the cold hands and feet are warming up little by little, and the stomach pain is also gradually relieving, but her brows and eyes are still not relaxed.

Lu Song's report on the situation four years ago made her slender and sharp eyebrows furrow even more.

"You mean, Xue Manqi gave Tang Anran two houses, a sports car, and various luxury items?"

Su Qingji held a copy of Lu Song's investigation report in his hand, looked at it verbatim, and repeated what Lu Song said just now.

"Yes." Lu Song sat upright on the sofa opposite her.

"But Tang Anran didn't want any of them?"

"That's right, Ms. Tang rejected all of them." Lu Song followed up with an explanation with a serious expression, "Especially those two buildings were just developed by Xue's real estate at that time. At that time, Xue Manqi took Ms. Tang to the set The real estate sales center pointed to the two buildings on the sand table and offered to give it to Ms. Tang, but Ms. Tang refused to accept it. Xue Manqi couldn't bear it, and she was furious—"

"Wait," Su Qingji interrupted him, asking, "Why did Tang Anran go to the sales center with her?"

"This..." Lu Song was stunned for a moment, hesitating for a while.

Su Qingji suddenly realized the key question, she straightened her back, and asked Lu Song with deep eyes:

"What was the relationship between her and Xue Manqi at that time?"

She always thought it was Xue Manqi who forced her to fail, so she blocked Tang Anran angrily, but now looking at the situation, it seems that she is not?

Lu Song felt that the momentum in front of him was not good, he swallowed nervously at his Adam's apple, thought about his words, and replied bravely:

"What was the specific situation between Ms. Tang and Xue Manqi at the time...Because the time was relatively short, and Xue Manqi's handling was relatively clean, the detailed inside story...I haven't found out yet, but judging from the information I have so far, They should have—"

"Should you be in a relationship?" Su Qingji said with a sullen face, his expression became strange when he said that.

"No, no, no," Lu Song quickly waved his hands, "There is also a recording, you will know after listening."

Only then did Su Qingji see the USB flash drive on the coffee table between the two of them.

Lu Song inserted the USB flash drive into the notebook, decrypted it and opened it, and a recording was played.

The male voice is Lu Song, and the female voice sounds like a middle-aged woman.

Male: "You were the cleaning foreman of the Tianxing Hotel at that time, weren't you?"

Female: "Yes, after this incident, I was afraid of being troubled by others, so I quit my job."

Man: "Can you recount the situation back then?"

The middle-aged woman was silent for a while.

Man: "Don't worry, the Xue family has gone bankrupt. You've seen the news on TV. The tree fell and the monkeys scattered. If you tell me about it, no one will come to trouble you. Now tell me what happened back then. Clearly, the 200 million cash is yours."

There was the sound of opening a safe in the background.

After a brief silence, the middle-aged woman spoke.

Female: "I remember that the time when I resigned was September 9th four years ago, so that incident... should be September 15th of that year. On that day, Mr. Xue brought Tang Anran, the very popular The female star of the hotel opened a presidential suite in the Tianxing Hotel."

Xi Zhu stood silently beside Su Qingji with a water cup, and when she heard these words, she stopped stirring the tea with a spoon. ? ?What kind of plot is this?

She turned her head to look at Su Qingji, and as expected, she saw Su Qingji's face was gloomy, her eyes became colder, and she let out a deep breath through her nose.

The recording continues to play.

Woman: "After they moved in that night, for six days in a row, Mr. Xue was the only one who left the room. She ordered us not to go in and clean the room, and no one knocked on the door of the room."

"Later, six days later, that is, on September 9th, Mr. Xue went out as usual that morning. The other presidential suite on the same floor just checked out. I took six or seven cleaners to clean the suite, and the work was over. Everyone left after that, and I stayed at the end to check the cleaning situation again, and when I was pushing the linen cart to leave, the door of Mr. Xue's apartment suddenly opened."

The tone of the middle-aged woman was not steady, but it created a tense atmosphere.

In the recording, Lu Song asked.

Man: "And then, what did you see?"

The middle-aged woman let out a long breath before continuing.

Female: "I saw Tang Anran."

What happened next sounded shocking.

Female: "She looked very scary at that time, with unkempt hair and face, pale face, black and red eyes, holding on to the door frame, trembling and unable to stand still, wearing only a white nightdress , still, still covered in blood..."

The water glass in Xi Zhu's hand almost fell to the ground.

Su Qingji's eyes also widened in disbelief.

Male: "It's covered in blood?! What kind of blood is it, piece by piece?"

Female: "No, it's not, it's the kind of strips, and her nightgown is also broken into strips."

Man: "Did you get cut by a knife?"

Female: "It's not like, it looks like it was whipped. The nightdress is basically torn, and it can't cover her body at all. I remember it very clearly. Her skin is too white, and the bloodstains are particularly obvious. On the chest and lower abdomen , one after another was full of blood, scabbed and bright red, it was shocking to see, and it really shocked me at the time."

Su Qingji pursed his lips, his eyebrows twitched, and his eyes seemed to have substance, and he stabbed at the laptop, as if he wanted to stare at it out of a hole.

Man: "Did she ask you for help?"

Female: "No, she didn't ask me for help directly. When she opened the door and saw someone, she seemed to be startled. When I saw her, I was so frightened that I wanted to call the security immediately. She saw me pick up the walkie-talkie and hurriedly called He waved his hands, and with a plop, he knelt down for me, this poor child burst into tears instantly, begging me not to call someone, knocking his head on the ground all the time, unable to speak clearly. "

Man: "So you didn't tell anyone."

Woman: "Yes, she looks so pitiful, I was also panicked at the time. Because I saw that she was not fully clothed, I took out the clothes that the tenants of the previous apartment had not worn out from the linen cart. , After giving it to her, she left in a panic. She seemed to run out later. I have been terrified since then, afraid of causing trouble, but there has been no movement in the hotel, but I still feel uneasy. After three days, I resigned and left."

The recording came to an abrupt end here.

Suddenly there was only silence in the room.

The sun is shining, but the air is like a cold current.

Lu Song coughed, broke the silence, and said to Su Qingji: "This is the few information I have investigated so far. Not long after the Tianxing Hotel incident, Miss Tang was blocked by Xue Manqi from the entire Internet .”

Su Qingji closed her eyes, and Xi Zhu saw her left hand clenched into a fist, the joints turned white.

She took a deep breath very forbearance, and then let go of her fist.

"Give it to me, keep checking."

Xi Zhu felt that she almost squeezed this sentence through her teeth.

"If you can't find it, tell me, if it's not possible, I'll send someone from the Su family to help you."

Lu Song was taken aback, Su Qingji was rarely willing to pull the Su family out, for this matter, she did not hesitate to use the power of the Su family, which shows how much she attaches importance to this matter.

He raised his expression and said solemnly: "Don't worry, Mr. Su, Xingzhou still has the ability to investigate this matter clearly. Give me some time, and I will definitely be able to restore the whole story of what happened back then."

Su Qingji hummed, didn't say any more, and waved his hand wearily. Seeing this, Lu Song tactfully took leave.

The sound of the door closing echoed softly.

Su Qingji leaned on the back of the sofa, covered his eyes with his palms, and rubbed his temples with his thumb and middle finger.

What happened, what happened to Tang Anran four years ago?

The clues are fragmented, Lu Song's current investigation results did not mention Qu Heyun, but from her understanding, Qu Heyun also had a deep connection with Xue Manqi during that period, and in the end she even snatched Xue Manqi and arranged for Tang An Ran's role—that is, the Xianxia drama that made Qu He Yunhong appear four years ago.

The woman said that at the Tianxing Hotel, Tang Anran was covered in blood.

Su Qingji suddenly recalled the night when he first met Tang Anran. Tang Anran was wearing hot pants and short sleeves that day, tossing and turning deliriously on the bed, his flesh still showing.

Does she have scars?

Su Qingji thought about it, at least the waist and limbs were not there, and she didn't see other places...she didn't see it either.

The woman seemed to be talking about her chest and lower abdomen.

"Tsk," thinking of this, Su Qingji took his hands from his eyes, frowned and cursed in a low voice:

"Xue Er, you are a pervert who has been a pervert since childhood. If you have the ability, you should escape abroad and never come back. Otherwise, if you fall into my hands, I will definitely take your skin off."

Xi Zhu looked at her in surprise.

Although I heard gossip from the old employees in Xingzhou, Su Qingji was once a stingy young lady.But in the past four years since Su Qingji returned to China, she has always come into contact with a relatively cold and calm Teacher Su. When did she ever hear her say such blatant and ruthless words?

It was the first time today.

And it was for Teacher Tang again.

Xi Zhu's mind flashed through the unreasonable things that his Gao Lengying had done since he met Mr. Tang.

Unreasonable but very reasonable, who gave her boss a lot of capricious capital...

Thinking about it this way, I suddenly felt that everything made sense...

Su.Gao Lengying queen.Overbearing president.Teacher, shouldn't you protect your wife like this?

Although Su Qingji did not admit that she had a special affection for Tang Anran, but as shrewd as Xi Zhu, she felt that she had already seen through everything.

Teacher Su is the kind of person who thinks he is upright. While saying that he doesn't like it, he secretly cares about it.

When did you see that you cared so much about others?

Xi Zhu complained boldly in his heart, but he still did not forget his duty and handed over the warm stomach tea that was already at the right temperature.

Su Qingji calmed down, raised his eyelids, and took a sip.

Xi Zhu saw that her temper was slowly calming down, so he found the right moment and said:

"Sister, Teacher Tang just sent a WeChat message, concerned about your stomach pain."
