“How is that possible?” Hai Tang replied with a pout, but in the next second, bean-sized tears came out of her eyes and exposed her lie.
After seeing Gu Yun appear in front of her, Hai Tang wanted to cry even more.
The moment he saw Hai Tang cry, Gu Yun felt a tightness in his chest and subconsciously hugged her.
This time, Hai Tang was not in a hurry to resist. Instead, she happily lay on Gu Yun’s chest and cried.” It wasn’t easy for me to have a friend. I suddenly lost him. Sob, sob, sob.”
Gu Yun’s brows were tightly knitted together, his attention completely focused on Hai Tang. He gently patted her back with one hand and coaxed her gently, while his other hand subconsciously reached into his trouser pocket to find a tissue or handkerchief to wipe her tears.
At this moment, the secretary, Li Jiang, who had come along, handed Gu Yun a pack of tissues.
Gu Yun gave him a look, and Li Jiang hurriedly retreated ten meters away, afraid that he would anger Gu Yun.
“You’re very good. You’ll have many, many friends in the future. She’s not one of them.” Gu Yun comforted Hai Tang as he wiped her tears with difficulty.
Hai Tang cried happily for a long time before she calmed down. When she regained her senses, she immediately felt a little ashamed of her behavior of crying on Gu Yun’s chest and wetting his clothes.
Thus, Hai Tang awkwardly left Gu Yun’s embrace. She lowered her head and said awkwardly,” I’m sorry, Gu Yun. I’ve made a fool of myself.”
“It’s alright.” Gu Yun shook his head nonchalantly. He didn’t even care about the clothes that had been dirtied by Hai Tang. Instead, he held her hand and said,” Let’s go. We’ll go home and check on the situation. We can’t blame her wrongly, but we can’t let her off.”
If Li Jiang was a little closer and could hear Gu Yun’s extremely soft tone, he would probably be so shocked that his eyeballs would fall out.
However, because Li Jiang was standing far away, Gu Yun completely forgot about the existence of the secretary when he drove away.
By the time Li Jiang realized that something was wrong, Gu Yun’s car had already gone far away. Li Jiang stood alone by the roadside and complained tearlessly,” You forgot about me again. I have to ask President Gu to reimburse more of the taxi fare later.’
Gu Yun drove the car to the security booth at the entrance of the community and called the butler from the villa.
After understanding the whole story, the butler scolded the security guard in the security booth, “How do you work?” Why did you let unrelated people in?”
The security guard saw Gu Yun and Hai Tang listening to him personally and was so scared that his face turned pale. He hurriedly defended himself.” We’re innocent. We can swear to God that we never let anyone who doesn’t have anything to do with us in.”
“What about last night?” the butler said sternly.
“Last night?” When the security guard heard this, he said with a bitter face,” Xiao Zhang was on duty last night. I just checked the visitor records. Only Madam’s best friend went in.
” Yes, we’re investigating her. Who told you that she’s Madam’s best friend?” The butler said in a deep voice.
“It was that woman called Yu Lu who said it herself…” The security guard was halfway through his sentence when he saw Hai Tang’s expressionless face. He immediately realized that he had made a mistake and hurriedly apologized.’ Madam, I was wrong. I shouldn’t have let her in without asking for your opinion. I deserve to die, I deserve to die!”
Hai Tang did not blame the security guard. Instead, she asked,” Other than last night, when did she come in?” Do you have any records?”
“Yes, yes, yes! As long as it’s someone who comes in and out, we’ve recorded it.
There’s absolutely no mistake.”
” Yes!” The security guard agreed. He then started to flip through the records and quickly pointed at a line of words.” Here!” Not long ago, that person called
Yu Lu came. Seeing that Madam was not at home, she went out again.” “Which day?” Hai Tang took the record from the housekeeper and looked at the date.
Sure enough, it was the same day she found a pink handbag in the yard.
Hai Tang and Gu Yun looked at each other. They had the same deduction in their hearts. Gu Yun said in a low voice,” Check the surveillance footage from that day.”
The security guard hurriedly found the surveillance camera from that day. Sure enough, in the surveillance camera, Yu Lu seemed to be hiding something in her arms. She walked in with her back facing the surveillance camera.
However, near the villa, Yu Lu seemed to know where the surveillance camera was. She deliberately avoided the location of the surveillance camera. In the last scene, she walked towards the wall. Only her feet were left in the surveillance camera.
Hai Tang looked at Yu Lu’s sneaky figure in the surveillance camera, and her
heart gradually sank…
