To be honest, what Du Qi said did not go beyond Chu Ge's expectations. The "outline" of this incident in his mind had already reached this point.
He had entertained similar suspicions back when Xie Wenyuan said Mi Xiaolin's company had foreign investment and could not be trusted. When he argued with people online, it took only a few exchanges to accuse someone of being on a foreign payroll, let alone in a case like this.
If people with insight all thought that "spiritual energy is the new capital," then this was naturally a global affair, not something limited to these people.
From what he knew, Du Lianfeng was nowhere near as innocent as he claimed. During the incident in Nanjiang, for example, Anvil, Haidongqing, and the others seemed to have been his direct subordinates. That meant the person who contacted Ruan Jian and stirred things up was very likely Du Lianfeng himself.
Even if that connection belonged to Mi Xiaolin, Du Lianfeng was hardly any better. At the very least, he was already helping her do evil. Who knew whether he had climbed into her bed, too...
Of course, there was no need to bring that up now. Gu Ruoyan was a mind reader, so she presumably understood it better herself. It would actually be better if Du Lianfeng really had participated in overseas affairs; his various misdeeds would make for more direct testimony. He could tell the police about that. Chu Ge truly did not want to get involved any further.
Getting too deeply entangled really could turn his life upside down.
With esper abilities, these people were far more brazen than ordinary "bad guys." Having lived in modern society for so long, Chu Ge had never imagined anyone could treat killing as casually as eating and drinking.
