Captain Lu was aloof again today.

Chapter 175 Deliberate
Not long ago, Shen Tong conducted his first offline interview at Tangzhou TV.

As a fervent fan of his books, Shen Fu naturally had to go and support him.

Lu Jingming also happened to have an interview that day, so Wei Qingsong went to the TV station with them. At the entrance of the TV station, they ran into Wen Ye.

That day, she saw Yan Yun by chance, and across the street, there was a man in a suit waving at Yan Yun.

At that moment, she felt that the man's face was very familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere before, but that fleeting glance did not allow her to recall where she had seen him.

After the traffic light changed, the oncoming traffic blocked her view. When she looked again, the two figures had already disappeared into the vast sea of ​​people.

Many things happened afterward that made her completely forget about this little episode.

It wasn't until just now, when she saw Duan Wenlan's profile, that she suddenly realized that the person who greeted Yan Yun that day was none other than Duan Wenlan.

The elevator doors slowly closed, and Duan Wenlan nodded politely to her before looking away.

He didn't see the deep coldness in Wei Qingsong's eyes.

She had no idea how the two of them met, but Lu Jinghuan's mysterious source of information was indeed very strange.

Alice had warned her that someone was investigating her.

If Lu Jinghuan learned her information from Duan Wenlan, does that mean that Duan Wenlan's existence is a potential threat to her?

However, Duan Wenlan acted very naturally in front of her just now.

Of course, this doesn't prove anything; his reaction could be feigned.

Wei Qingsong's mind raced.

She worried that Lu Jingming would be in danger if she left.

But then she remembered that Lu Jinghuan was still there. She hated her, but she wouldn't just stand by and watch Lu Jingming get hurt.

Lu Changbai and Jiang Qiong are also on their way.

Even if Duan Wenlan really had a problem, he wouldn't risk such a huge deal by doing something bad in public.

If she were to return, it would only alert Duan Wenlan and draw his attention.

With this thought in mind, Wei Qingsong cleared his head, glanced back at the closed elevator doors, turned and quickened his pace, leaving the hospital.

Alice is not in Tangzhou now, and Lu Jingming is injured.

But she was not fighting alone.

Wei Qingsong thought of someone.

She took out her phone, typed a message, sent it, and then took a deep breath, the cold light in her eyes slowly fading away.

While Wei Qingsong accompanied Lu Jingming to the hospital, the case at Liyang Hotel also took a new turn.

Hiring thugs was enough to give the Hua family father and son a hard time, and Hua Rongchang was soon arrested and brought to justice.

Chen Jin and Xiao Song are conducting an intensive interrogation of the two of them.

In the monitoring room, Wei Qingsong calmly watched the images on the screen.

Compared to Wei Qingsong's composure, Director Wang looked distressed: "Is Jingming's injury serious? I have a meeting soon and can't leave to visit him."

Wei Qingsong kept her eyes glued to the screen, while gently reassuring Jingming, "Don't worry, the doctor said everything is fine. Right now, bringing those damned people to justice is the best way to give Jingming a proper account."

Hearing this, Director Wang felt even more guilty: "It's all my fault. If I had been firm from the beginning, you two wouldn't have had to investigate in private and put yourselves in danger."

As he spoke, he became angry again: "These people have absolutely no respect for the law!"

"I have already reported the situation to my superiors, and they are taking this case very seriously. You can proceed with the work without any worries!"

Director Wang was so angry that his face turned red and his neck bulged. In all his years as a police officer, he rarely showed such indignation.

“Okay, I understand, don’t worry.” Wei Qingsong nodded calmly.

Director Wang was in a hurry to attend a meeting, so after he left, Wei Qingsong didn't stay in the monitoring room for long and went to another room instead.

There were quite a few staff members brought back from Liyang Hotel. They were settled in different places in batches, and it was a huge undertaking to take their statements one by one.

Inside the room, Susan sat quietly in a chair, showing no sign of panic despite her situation.

Seeing Wei Qingsong come in, she greeted him with a smile: "Hello, officer."

“I’m not a police officer, just an unofficial staff member.” Wei Qingsong raised an eyebrow, his smile gentle, and sat down opposite Susan with a relaxed expression. “I just want to have a brief chat with you. I’ll say whatever comes to mind, so don’t be nervous.”

Susan immediately smiled calmly.

“Great, perfect timing. I’ve been here for so long and no officer has come to question me yet. I actually have a lot of questions I want to ask.”

Wei Qingsong stared at her thoughtfully for two seconds, then chuckled and said, "What you really want to ask about is Xiaoya's situation, right?"

Susan's expression froze for a moment, her casual smile vanished, and her back straightened slightly: "How is she now?"

Wei Qingsong truthfully replied, "Don't worry, everything is fine. She was frightened at the hotel, so we have arranged for professionals to provide her with psychological counseling. We will not question her until she is emotionally stable."

Susan seemed relieved, and after a long silence, she said, "Thanks."

"No need for thanks. I'm not here to interrogate you, I just want to hear what's on your mind, is that alright?"

Wei Qingsong's lighthearted tone subtly relieved Susan's suppressed pressure.

She placed her clasped hands on the table, let out a soft sigh, and leaned back gently in her chair—a completely relaxed posture.

"I knew that this day would come for Liyang Hotel sooner or later, but I didn't expect it to come so soon. When you and another police officer appeared at the hotel today, I already sensed something unusual. I have to say, sometimes a woman's intuition is really accurate."

Wei Qingsong casually picked up a pen and played with it lightly, then asked as if it were nothing out of the ordinary, "At the hotel, you deliberately revealed a flaw and intentionally provided me with information, didn't you?"

Wei Qingsong had only just figured this out.

Zhou Dahu was shot dead, and Lu Jingming was shot. Under such circumstances, Xiao Ya was almost driven to a mental breakdown. Even the group of burly thugs were stunned. Susan, however, remained remarkably calm and was even able to tell her where the first-aid kit was.

How could a woman like that not be able to handle two suspicious guests?
Her behavior before and after was so contradictory.

Therefore, only one possibility remains: Susan's panicked words and the large amount of information about Liyang Hotel that she intentionally or unintentionally revealed were all deliberate.

Susan paused, did not deny it, and chuckled softly.

He laughed for a while before slowly speaking again.

“I’ve been staying at Liyang Hotel for almost two years. Don’t be fooled by how glamorous Liyang Hotel is now. Two years ago, it was just a small hotel. The father and son, Hua Rongchang and Hua Hengchen, were able to get rich so quickly because of us women who were tricked into coming here.”

"To be honest, I've had enough of this kind of life. I play different roles every day. I've been wearing the mask for so long that I've almost forgotten what I'm really like."

I've been writing about this case for a long time, and the website doesn't allow me to go into too much detail about it. I might try to gloss over it in the future, keeping it as subtle as possible, just touching on it briefly. Otherwise, my post might get locked again. I'll never challenge myself with such highly sensitive realistic topics again.

Then, the foreshadowing mentioned here is a little bit from a long time ago, and since I update so slowly, many readers may have already forgotten about it qwq. It's at the end of chapter 129~
