Seeing that Chu Lingjue was so determined, Butler Cheng had no choice but to say,
"Since you are so determined to ignore Miss Sheng's feelings, I will just follow your instructions and investigate."
After finishing speaking, there was no more words.
Until now, Gu Xiwan was still looking at Chu Lingjue's face.
However, Chu Lingjue's face was always like a perfect ice surface, and all the joy, anger, sorrow, and joy never appeared in his expression. Gu Xiwan had no way of guessing how he was feeling now.
She said tentatively,
"I don't think you want to hurt Sheng Xinyi. What Uncle Cheng said makes sense. If you hurt Sheng Xinyi, it will also make you feel more guilty for her. There is no need for you to do this for me."
Chu Lingjue pinched Gu Xiwan's face habitually and said without leaving a trace,
"I will investigate anyone who has suspicions. Even if you don't suspect her, I will investigate her. So, you don't have to think that I'm investigating her because of your suspicions about her, and you don't have to feel sorry for me. "
"..." Gu Xiwan's lips opened, but she was too moved to say a word.
Chu Lingjue values love and justice. His guilt towards Sheng Xinyi is a scar in his heart that will never heal. Even if he doesn't want to be disconnected from Sheng Xinyi, it is already very rare that he can avoid meeting Sheng Xinyi. How could he even think about harming her on his own initiative? What are Sheng Xinyi’s thoughts?
Gu Xiwan knew full well that Chu Lingjue went to investigate Sheng Xinyi after he learned that she suspected Sheng Xinyi and wanted to give her an explanation.
Chu Lingjue didn't want Gu Xiwan to think that he had paid too much for her, so he said these words to comfort her.
Gu Xiwan certainly hopes that the truth will come out soon.
However, at this moment, looking at Chu Lingjue's eyes that were as gentle as ice and snow, Gu Xiwan suddenly couldn't bear it.
It would be okay if the employer was not Sheng Xinyi.
What if it’s really Sheng Xinyi?
With Chu Lingjue's principled style of dealing with things, he will definitely not show mercy to Sheng Xinyi!
But Chu Lingjue's debt of gratitude to Sheng Xinyi was far from repaid. Gu Xiwan didn't know how much Chu Lingjue would suffer if he killed someone for her who he should have repaid with all his heart. Psychological shadow...
…
Sure enough, just as Sheng Xinyi expected, Chu Lingjue did not come back to see her again.
Not long after Gu Xiwan got in the car, Chu Lingjue left with Gu Xiwan.
Not long after, Shen Zijun also left.
Sheng Xinyi stood alone in the empty yard, looking at the place where Chu Lingjue's car had been. Thinking of the beautiful scene she had with Chu Lingjue, she suddenly felt an unprecedented loneliness.
The phone in her pocket vibrated for an unknown amount of time before Sheng Xinyi noticed it.
When she found out that the call was from Ji Shaoting, she hung up immediately.
After hanging up Ji Shaoting's call, Sheng Xinyi discovered that Ji Shaoting had called her three times in the past few minutes.
Immediately afterwards, Ji Shaoting's fourth call came.
Sheng Xinyi reluctantly picked up the phone and said coldly,
"The fact that I haven't answered your call means I don't want to hear your voice. Don't you even have this bit of self-awareness? Are you annoyed?!"
"I'm not annoyed, but I feel that you are very upset now. Why are you so upset? Let me guess -
Is it because your plan to let the killer 'deal with' your love rival failed, or is it because your sweetheart is so cold and callous to you that even if he goes to your house, he refuses to get out of the car and say a word to you? "
Hearing Ji Shaoting's meaningful words, Sheng Xinyi immediately felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave. She looked around in fear and said in a trembling voice,
"I... I have removed the listening chip you installed in my phone a long time ago. Why do you still know so much about me?"
Ji Shaoting over there sneered evilly,
"Isn't this simple? On a dark and windy night last week, I arranged for people to sneak into your villa and placed several miniature cameras in places you couldn't imagine. As long as you are in this villa, your every move will be No movement can escape my surveillance."
There was a buzz in Sheng Xinyi's head,
"Ji Shaoting, you are so despicable!"
"Despicable? Yes, I have never denied that I am despicable, but what you did to Gu Xiwan is not glorious, is it? Chu Lingjue is investigating this matter at all costs, you are so smart , guess what, if I go to talk to Chu Lingjue and use the evidence I have as a bargaining chip, how much benefits will he be willing to give me? "
Sheng Xinyi felt like someone was strangling her neck.
It took at least two seconds before she made a sound again.
"Ji Shaoting, don't forget, we are on the same boat, you can't do this."
"Whether I can do this or not is not up to you. It depends on your performance. I will give you ten minutes to come and see me. Otherwise, you will definitely regret it."
After Ji Shaoting said this, he hung up the phone.
Sheng Xinyi said hurriedly,
"I went to see you, but... where are you now?!"
"Our old home."
After saying this, I hung up.
At this moment, Sheng Xinyi was completely panic-stricken. She didn't even bother to lock the door of the main building of the villa. She hurried to the carport to find a car and drove towards the entrance of the courtyard as fast as possible.
Noble man's mansion, single-family villa No. 6——
The former wedding room of Sheng Xinyi and Ji Shaoting was also the place where Sheng Xinyi lived for the past year.
Recognizing Sheng Xinyi's car, the security guard watching the gate opened the gate in advance.
Sheng Xinyi drove the car directly to the door of the main building.
The door to the living room on the first floor was not closed tightly. She pushed it open and walked in. However, she stopped when she saw Ji Shaoting standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window wearing only a pair of gray briefs.
He turned his back to Ji Shaoting and said,
"Put your clothes on!"
"It's not necessary. Anyway, I have to take off the only piece of clothing I have left in a while." Ji Shaoting squinted his long, narrow eyes and looked up and down Sheng Xinyi's bulging body.
