Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Song Yi never wanted to fall victim to the schemes of the Brown Group. When Meng Yu handed him the materials, he felt a sense of relief. Regardless of the cause or the truth, as long as it had nothing to do with the Song family, he was content.
Moreover, upon hearing that Meng Xia had also been drugged, Song Yi had prepared Meng Xia’s blood test report early on. It was meant to prove that the Song family was also a victim, not the perpetrator.
Initially, it was just a clarification statement from the Song Corporation. Pictures and videos of Meng Xia and Jason were circulating everywhere. The Song Corporation directly presented reports from authoritative hospitals, proving that Meng Xia had also been drugged, making both her and Jason victims.
At first, netizens were skeptical, but soon there were so-called insiders leaking information that Zhao Li was the mastermind. With the participation of a miss from a prominent family in the capital and various pieces of evidence, this gossip news about wealthy families skyrocketed to the top of the hot topic.
“I know Zhao Li, the famous young lady in the capital, the main force pursuing Gu Chen!”
“I heard that on Gu Chen’s birthday last year, Zhao Li rented hundreds of drones just to celebrate for him.”
“There are screenshots from the surveillance at the banquet venue. Meng Xia and she were together in the restroom. Meng Xia seemed to have been drugged when she came out.”
“I heard that the Zhao family is in a bad situation now, many collaborations have been terminated, rumored to be the work of the Gu family.”
“Could it be that Zhao Li wanted to drug Gu Chen, but made a mistake? The two people who were drugged are so wronged?”
“Could the adopted daughter of the Song family be taking the blame for Song Fan? Zhao Li likes Gu Chen, Gu Chen likes Song Fan, so she must be going after Song Fan!”
The speculations from netizens kept pouring in, besieging the already precarious Zhao family with rumors. Some old partners who were still observing also canceled their collaborations.
But at this moment, Zhao Li paid no attention to all this. She didn’t even have time to answer the calls from her family because the man she had been thinking about was right in front of her. However, several bodyguards next to the man were pointing guns at her.
Zhao Li wasn’t afraid; instead, she felt somewhat relieved upon seeing Gu Chen. It seemed that since the moment she planned to kidnap Song Fan, she had been living in fear, with a premonition that she might fail in the end. But at that time, she was already blinded by rage and just wanted Song Fan dead, regardless of anything else.
“Where is she?” Gu Chen’s voice was cold, and Su Yang knew he was on the verge of anger.
However, Zhao Li just sweetly smiled. “Gu Chen, this is the third time you’ve spoken to me on your initiative. I remember each time. Do you remember?”
She smiled like an infatuated young girl, carrying some longing for her crush. “I used to hope that you would come to me on your initiative, but you never did. This is the first time, although it would have been more perfect in a different situation. It’s still a bit of a pity!”
“Where is she?” Gu Chen couldn’t be bothered with small talk. He had already taken the gun from the person beside him, pointing it directly at Zhao Li’s chest.
Zhao Li took out her phone. Gu Chen didn’t rush forward, but she quickly sent the recording to Xu Wen. She didn’t know why she did this, but she felt she might not see the sun tomorrow.
“You should have found out, right? Young Master Gu, what can’t you find out? But you surprisingly can’t find Song Fan. Haha, it’s fate. Even God can’t stand it and wants her dead.” Then she raised her phone and dialed Chen Jun’s number, and the response came, “The number you’ve dialed is powered off…”
“He turned it off, not answering.” Zhao Li helplessly hung up the phone, casually throwing it into a nearby fish tank. “It’s useless. Meng Xia said she wants Song Fan dead. The people she hired won’t answer my calls. I can’t do anything.”
Indeed, Gu Chen hadn’t expected that Zhao Li couldn’t find Song Fan and still wanted to shift the blame onto Meng Xia. It meant that Chen Jun was a ticking time bomb. But he didn’t give up hope. At this moment, it wasn’t about who was more stubborn; finding Song Fan was the top priority.
Using a voice as restrained as possible, he said, “Fine, even if you cooperate with Meng Xia, you must know where she might be. As long as you’re willing to reveal Song Fan’s whereabouts, I won’t hold the past against you, and the cooperation with the Zhao family…”
“Gu Chen, don’t lie to me.” Zhao Li laughed bitterly. “Even if I say it, you probably won’t believe it. I understand you better than you understand yourself. You can’t let go of the Zhao family. Meng Xia hired those two people for money and life. Whether Song Fan lives or dies depends on her fate.”
She suddenly realized she had said the wrong thing because Gu Chen slyly frowned. She was familiar with this little movement of his; it meant he had figured something out.
