A light rain was falling outside the building. Luo Beishi, who was idly admiring handsome men in his office, suddenly had his eyes closed when the system captured something rather interesting.
Is this synthetic?
"Yes, we've selected Hu Lian's key actions for the next few days, host."
" Tongtong fantastic."
In the video, Hu Lian leaves her home and takes the subway to a certain apartment. It turns out she no longer lives with Hu La.
Hu Lian, who lives in a villa, has a direct view of Wu You'an's house. Holding binoculars, Hu Lian is observing Wu You'an's every move with a cold expression.
Wu You'an has a rather refined appearance. He is currently running on a treadmill indoors, with a white towel around his neck, and he is drenched in sweat.
Luo Beishi: "What's so interesting about it?"
System: "No? Host, didn't you realize Hu Lian is a peeping tom?"
Luo Beishi: "Yeah, I understand. He's a sasaeng fan, and a sasaeng fan of an old acquaintance at that."
System: "Host, Hu Lian likes this celebrity so much, and they're childhood friends, why don't they just meet?"
Luo Beishi: "You've forgotten how many years Hu Lian has been pretending. How could he forget his persona? Being obedient, sensible, timid, and not clingy is what he's supposed to portray."
Luo Beishi raised an eyebrow slightly. "So, Hu Lian is all bark and no bite. Interesting..."
Hu Lian looked like she'd been watching for quite a while. And Wu You'an, knowing he's a celebrity, why didn't he close the curtains...?
"Wait, Tongtong, I suspect Wu You'an knows that Hu Lian lives across the street from him. Besides, only Hu Lian's family can see him from this position. The only reason we can see Hu Lian is because of the security camera on Wu You'an's balcony, right?"
Luo Beishi: "Is this camera very well hidden?"
"Host, yes."
"Damn, this is incredible! A double agent disguised as a villain, like something out of a Mission: Impossible movie. Even TV dramas wouldn't dare to portray it like this."
"Was Wu You'an's affection for Luo Bai an act? Perhaps it was to intensify Hu Lian's hatred for Huo Qiuya?"
System: "How did you arrive at that conclusion?"
Luo Beishi: "I remember Huo Qiuya harassed Wu You'an for a long time. Wu You'an eventually agreed to meet Huo Qiuya because of 5 million yuan. But 5 million yuan was nothing to Wu You'an, who was a top star at the time. Huo Qiuya was just throwing money at him. She never said she was a Huo Family, so there was no question of her using her power to bully him, right?"
This meeting was clearly premeditated. No, I think we should also check Wu You'an's family information!
System: "Okay, host."
Although Huo Qiuya was sometimes impolite and unlikable, she had never done anything heinous and did not deserve to die.
Even though the case was closed, Luo Beishi, who had nothing better to do, decided to help her find the "real culprit."
He simply didn't believe that Huo Qiuya had accidentally put on fluorescent powder, accidentally gone up to the attic, or that the hammer's placement was too coincidental. All these coincidences combined to form her deadly noose, ultimately dragging her into the abyss.
He remembered the video call she made with Hu Lian at home. Her pitying gaze seemed genuine. Whether or not they were born out of wedlock wasn't their fault. She empathized with Hu Lian Hu Lian decided to help him out, but ended up losing her life because of her kindness. See? It's true what they say, don't meddle in other people's business, and good deeds don't always get rewarded.
Luo Beishi once again firmly believed that one should not do good deeds lightly!
"Wife, what are you thinking about?" After finishing his work, Huo Cixiao leaned down and gently kissed his cheek, leaving a red mark. He looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction.
Luo Beishi: "I was thinking about your sister."
If his wife hadn't mentioned it, he would have forgotten that he had a sister who had recently passed away. He sat down to his wife's right and helped her wipe her face, which she had just kissed, with a tissue.
He casually asked, "Any clues?"
Luo Beishi nodded. "There are no clues, but I suspect that Wu You'an is not a simple person."
Huo Cixiao curled his lips. "Wife, you're actually paying attention to other men!"
Luo Beishi smiled and patted his head, "No, I just feel that your sister shouldn't have died like this. You shouldn't hate her, right? She treated you so badly when you were little, and you never hit her."
Huo Cixiao's deep eyes revealed nothing. He simply said slowly, "I've long since let go of what happened when we were little. That day, I was just trying to spite Huo Cheng. Huo Qiuya became much better behaved after starting elementary school and began to distinguish right from wrong. Although I haven't seen her much since, the way she looks at me has changed a lot. In short, her eyes are full of regret, like she wants to apologize but doesn't dare to say it. Later, when she went to middle school, she went through her rebellious phase and became less likable, but she would still occasionally come to me for help and hide from trouble."
Sometimes I get a little unhappy. She's the daughter of a mistress, so why did I take her in?
"What if I take her in, but my mother in heaven hates me for it?"
Luo Beishi suddenly understood why Huo Cixiao's eyes had dimmed from time to time during those days. It seemed that he wasn't completely indifferent to his half-sister; he was just being stubborn.
"Don't worry, the truth will come out eventually." Luo Beishi kissed Huo Cixiao's lips to cheer him up.
Huo Cixiao: "Sweet."
Luo Beishi: "One more..."
"Knock knock knock"
"Chairman, something's gone wrong with a project. Do you have time? President Lei and President Ling aren't here, so I'd have to trouble you to take a look..."
Huo Cixiao's eyes were filled with displeasure at being interrupted, "Come in and talk."
Luo Beishi reassured him, "Let's see how it goes."
Ling Kai's deputy assistant Special Assistant Yu, came up with some documents and sat down opposite them, briefly explaining what had happened an hour earlier in the western part of the city.
Huo Cixiao's expression visibly turned cold. "Did you call the police?"
Special Assistant Yu: "Reported. No missing persons have been found yet. The collapse area is very large, the losses..."
Huo Cixiao: "Have the PR team start monitoring the network in real time, and notify the project leaders to have a meeting in ten minutes."
Luo Beishi sensed Huo Cixiao's agitation, and only after Special Assistant Yu left did he ask, "What's wrong?"
Huo Cixiao: "I don't want to go out, I want my wife to stay by my side..."
Looking out the window, Luo Beishi saw that the rain was indeed quite heavy. Last night, he had only mentioned wanting to hear the sound of rain... Huo Cixiao had someone go to the meteorological department overnight to apply for funding. They made grand promises and decided to support all of the meteorological department's research work in the future, which led to today's rain.
"It's okay. If you need to go to the scene later, I'll go with you. I've never been a pampered person."
Huo Cixiao: "That won't work either."
Luo Beishi's eyes held a smile, "Are you sure??"
