Her appearance was plain all right, but the smile on her face was extremely genuine and kind. It did not look like it belonged to a scheming person at all. "Xu Wenjing, I don't think we’re familiar enough for a casual hello," Ying Xiaoxiao sneered. There was nothing but disdain in her eyes. A trace of embarrassment flashed across Xu Wenjing's face as she smiled. "We are indeed not familiar enough with each other." The moment she saw Mofei and Xu Wenjing walking together, Song Anyi's emotions had already become turbulent, but she did not want her friends to worry, so she forced herself to remain calm. She picked up her glass of water and took a sip, not looking at Xu Wenjing at all. As her best friend, Tang Ruochu saw her true thoughts. She was hurting deep inside but pretending to be indifferent. The corner of Tang Ruochu’s mouth twitched helplessly. She pretended to be casual and asked, "Ms. Xu, has Mofei gone back? Where did he go?" "Yes, he’s gone back." Xu Wenjing smi
"Chuchu..." When she heard her name, Tang Ruochu turned her head and saw Ying Xiaoxiao leaning close to her ear, and she whispered, "I think she's lying. She must have another motive." Tang Ruochu raised one of her eyebrows and looked at Xiaoxiao who was sure of her speculation. Pursing her lips, she swept her gaze over Anyi, and a thought appeared in her mind. Following that, she trained her eyes on Xu Wenjing's ordinary face as the corner of her mouth rose. "Ms. Xu, is that all you wanted to say?" Xu Wenjing was taken aback. "That's it." Tang Ruochu continued to smile politely. "We have some personal matters to talk about. Would you mind moving away for a moment?" She was hinting her to leave. Xu Wenjing smiled. "Of course. You three can slowly chat, then. We'll talk again when we have the opportunity." After she said that, she bowed slightly before she turned around. As soon as she turned around, the smile on her face instantly disappeared, and gloom took its place
The next moment, a whole load of search results popped up with news of Ning Qiaoqiao's disappearance at the top. She clicked on the news article and read it carefully. From the story, she only knew that Ning Qiaoqiao had disappeared on her way back to Beining, and nothing had turned up in police investigation yet. "Sis Ruochu, you think this person would disappear for no reason?" Xiao Xu, who was standing behind her, asked. Tang Ruochu shook her head slightly before she leaned back in her chair and bit her fingers, seemingly deep in thought. She seemed to have an answer for Ning Qiaoqiao’s disappearance. "Sis Ruochu..." Xiao Xu called out to her after he saw that she was still silent after a long while. Tang Ruochu snapped out of her daze and looked at him with a smile. "What's wrong?" Xiao Xu looked around then leaned over to her ear and whispered, "Sis Ruochu, do you think someone kidnapped Ning Qiaoqiao?" Tang Ruochu blinked. "Why would you say that?" Xiao Xu thought
"It’s not like you can get rid of this relationship either." That was what Ji Yinfeng said before he hung up. Tang Ruochu did not want to argue so she hung up as well. In fact, the moment she heard about Ning Qiaoqiao's disappearance, the first thought that flashed through her mind was that it definitely had something to do with Gu Ruoruo. Now, she was completely certain that Ning Qiaoqiao's disappearance was Gu Ruoruo's doing. That meant, Gu Ruoruo had kidnapped Ning Qiaoqiao and blamed it on her to get Ji Yinfeng and the Ji Family to target her. Sure enough, it was a way to kill two birds with one stone. However, Gu Ruoruo’s calculations and schemes were still off. Tang Ruochu was not a fool, so how could she not see that something was not right? Originally, Ning Qiaoqiao's disappearance had nothing to do with her, but now that Gu Ruoruo was behind it, she would probably be caught up to her neck. Tang Ruochu groaned helplessly, wondering if she should go to the temple t
Xu Meng raised his eyebrows and got up. "Right, we'll head back first then." Xu Meng quickly left with the other officers, and the entire room instantly turned quiet, as though they had never been there before. Tang Ruochu recalled the message Elder Lu had gotten Xu Meng to convey to Shijin, and her brows slowly creased. Pondering for a moment, she asked, "Shijin, would Qiaoqiao's disappearance have anything to do with your father?" Hearing that, Shijin turned and looked at her, his eyes deep. "He has nothing to do with it." Nothing to do with it? Tang Ruochu furrowed her brows even more. If he had nothing to do with it, why did the investigating officer happen to be someone who knew his father? "He's just taking the opportunity to give me a warning." Lu Shijin said plainly. A warning? Tang Ruochu immediately understood. "Is it possible that he’s planning to act against me?" Lu Shijin nodded. "Yes, no matter who caused Ning Qiaoqiao's disappearance, he’ll try to tie eve
Toward the end of the workday, Tang Ruochu received a text message from an unknown number.It just contained an address, nothing else. Tang Ruochu thought someone had sent it to her by mistake, so she was not bothered and simply deleted it. Barely a minute later, though, another text message came. This time around, the sender announced her identity. “Tang Ruochu, this is Gu Ruoruo. I want to talk to you. I've sent you the address." Gu Ruoruo? Tang Ruochu frowned slightly and instinctively felt that if Gu Ruoruo suddenly wanted to talk to her, she had to be up to no good. Hence, she directly replied with three words. "I'm not free." After Tang Ruochu sent that out, Gu Ruoruo did not send her any more text messages. It was not until after work when she was driving home did she receive another message from Gu Ruoruo. While she paid attention to the road ahead, she tapped and opened the text message.“The team over in the United States has developed a type of medicine fo
He thought that it would be best to stop her before things became unsalvageable.He pondered for a bit and said, "Ms. Ruoruo, I know that you hate Ning Qiaoqiao and wish to kill her, but once you break the law, you’ll never escape it. Think of your father. He only has you as a daughter." Hearing that, Gu Ruoruo narrowed her eyes with deadly intent. "Li Wu, my dad ordered you to follow me and give me unconditional help with everything, not to lecture me. I don't need your opinions on what I'm going to do." "Ms. Ruoruo..."Li Wu wanted to continue but was interrupted by the sudden ringing of the phone.He just saw Gu Ruoruo pick up the phone as her lips curled into a sinister smile. "It looks like another big fish has served herself up on a silver platter."…Tang Ruochu followed the address, which Gu Ruoruo had given to her and went to the villa area in the suburbs.She stood before the villa and looked around, finding the place rather eerie. If there had not been lights in th
Sh*t. Tang Ruochu's heart sank. It seemed like she had really been fooled this time. "Since you're already here, how can I let you leave?" Gu Ruoruo broke into a sinister smile before she clapped her hands. There were rapid footsteps all around, and Tang Ruochu glanced back, only to see a few men in black blocking her exit. It appeared that she would not be leaving after all. Tang Ruochu took a deep breath as she tried to calm her ruffled emotions. Then, she looked at Gu Ruoruo with a smile. "Gu Ruoruo, you think no one knows that I'm here?" "It doesn’t matter if they do or don't." Gu Ruoruo sneered and ordered the men in black loudly, "Take her in." She then walked into the villa herself, leaving Tang Ruochu with the men in black. Tang Ruoruo looked at the approaching men and did not resist, allowing them to grab her. Before she went over, she had told Shijin the address. Knowing Shijin's personality, he was probably rushing over now, so she was not too worried abo
