Deep Fog Kiss

Su Ruolan had just finished speaking and was about to leave when she was stopped by someone who suddenly appeared at the door.

Shen Nianchu blocked her path, hands on her hips, "You're Lili's aunt, right?"

Su Ruolan looked at the smartly dressed young woman in front of her and asked, "Who are you?"

"I'm Lili's friend." Shen Nianchu glanced at Jiang Li, then her sharp eyes turned to Su Ruolan. "I was just passing by and overheard your conversation."

Shen Nianchu glanced at Su Ruolan from head to toe. She was dressed respectably and well-maintained, but she looked like an ugly, vulgar woman from the marketplace.

She had originally thought that when she heard that it was Jiang Li's aunt coming, she would come over to meet her and say hello.

I never expected to hear such offensive and offensive words.

Considering what Jiang Li had told her about her background, she could roughly guess what kind of good deeds this wicked aunt had done.

"What kind of aunt are you?" Shen Nianchu scoffed disdainfully. "I've really seen something amazing today; this is the first time I've ever met such a vicious aunt!"

"You!" Su Ruolan was surprised to be lectured by a stranger, especially since he was Jiang Li's friend. She was about to retort when she was interrupted again.

"What do you mean, 'you'?!" Shen Nianchu glared at her coldly. "Do you think Jiang Li is easy to bully? You shameless old woman, all you're good for is bullying the younger generation! If you're so capable, why don't you ask Jiang Li to solve your family's mess?!"

"You knew perfectly well that her father's car accident was intentional, you knew about the eyewitnesses, yet you concealed it for so many years. You have no conscience!"

Shen Nianchu slammed her hand on the table next to her with a loud "Bang!", startling Su Ruolan, who quickly took a step back, afraid that the slap would hit her.

"Let me tell you, only Jiang Li is kind-hearted!" Shen Nianchu pointed at her, gritting her teeth. "If I were in that situation, I'd skin you alive!"

Su Ruolan trembled in fright; neither of the two people in the room were easy to mess with.

She glanced at Jiang Li and said, "Jiang Li, you handle this yourself!"

After saying that, she hurriedly walked past Shen Nianchu.

Shen Nianchu glared fiercely at Su Ruolan's back until the other woman left the studio. Only then did she retract her fierce expression and quickly walk up to Jiang Li.

"Lili, this old hag is threatening you with your father's matter, don't fall for it!"

Shen Nianchu gleaned some clues from their conversation. "Her goal is to get the Tang family to fund it, right? How much?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Li looked up at Shen Nianchu in surprise.

"I'll pay whatever it takes." Shen Nianchu grabbed Jiang Li's cold hand. "I'll figure out how much it costs. You just severed ties with that rotten cucumber Tang Lin, you absolutely can't jump into that fire pit again."

Shen Nianchu's hands were warm, and she held Jiang Li's hands firmly to warm them up.

She grasped Shen Nianchu's hand in return and smiled gently, "Saving the Xiang family's company requires too much money. Moreover, the Xiang family and the Tang family have a cooperation agreement, so the Tang family needs to make concessions."

"You're not really going to go find Tang Lin, are you?" Shen Nianchu asked anxiously. "You've already broken off your engagement with him, Tang Lin won't be so kind as to help! Going to him like this is like throwing yourself into the lion's den!"

People like Tang Lin are never short of money; they spend their days indulging in pleasure and have countless romantic entanglements, ranging from celebrities to office workers.

If Jiang Li were to go to him, she wouldn't even need to think about what he wanted.

Moreover, a girl like Jiang Li is young and beautiful; she would be considered a top-tier beauty even in a crowd.

If she really submits to Tang Lin, and then Tang Lin takes advantage of her and then kicks her to the curb, her life will be truly over!

Shen Nianchu grew increasingly anxious, gripping Jiang Li's hand tightly. "Jiang Li! What if that old hag is just lying to you!"

Jiang Li clenched her fists. Su Ruolan's words didn't seem like a lie. She wasn't there that day and couldn't have made up such detailed information.

Someone must have said something to her!

"It's been fourteen years, and every time I think of the perpetrator's hypocritical and innocent defense and his attempt to shirk responsibility, I hate him to the core."

Now that person is out of prison, surrounded by his children and grandchildren, his family is reunited, and his life is complete.

The better they did, the more she felt sorry for her father.

She wants to overturn the verdict! She wants that person to pay the price!

Jiang Li raised her eyes, suppressing the tears and hatred in them. "I must find this eyewitness!"

......

Tianze Capital office building.

Top floor, CEO's office.

Yin Ming pushed open the door and came in; the man behind the desk was signing documents.

He stepped forward quickly with a serious expression. "Boss, it's Leng Feng on the phone."

Gu Zhishen paused slightly as he signed, then looked up with a sharp gaze.

The phone was answered, and the person on the other end said, "Boss, Mei Qiao is dead."

Gu Zhishen's brow twitched slightly, a chill emanated from his body, and his hand gripping the phone tightened suddenly.

"How did he die?"

"He committed suicide by jumping into the river," Leng Feng said. "He died in the middle of the night yesterday. His body floated from the upper reaches of the Jing River all the way to the lower reaches. It wasn't until noon that it was retrieved and sent to the funeral home for cremation."

suicide.

Why would Mei Qiao commit suicide for no reason?

Unless, of course, someone threatens to silence them.

Gu Zhishen's eyes narrowed slightly. Was he afraid that Mei Qiao would reveal more unknown things?

Something that could be used to threaten her life...

Gu Zhishen hung up the phone and instructed Yin Ming, "Prepare the helicopter to send Aunt Mei off on her final journey."

......

Mei Qiao's hometown was too far from Jingzhou, making it inconvenient for her to return home for the funeral.

Her son, Feng Kai, held a simple funeral for her at a funeral home in the suburbs of Beijing. Apart from the staff present, only a few of Feng Kai's friends came to pay their respects.

Several black luxury cars drove into the funeral home in a grand procession. The door of the lead car opened, and a man dressed in black stepped out, his posture upright. Years of being in a high position and wielding power had given him a powerful and imposing aura.

Feng Kai knelt in the mourning hall and recognized him at a glance.

"Hey, you surnamed Gu! What are you doing here?!"

His eyes were red from crying, filled with hatred. "It's all your fault! You drove my mother to her death! If it weren't for you, my mother wouldn't have come to Jingzhou, she wouldn't have died!"

He roared and was about to pounce on Gu Zhishen when he was blocked by a figure that suddenly appeared.

Leng Feng stood in front of Feng Kai, expressionless, his height and physique intimidating. Feng Kai looked intimidated, daring to be angry but not daring to speak.

Gu Zhishen didn't take him seriously at all and bowed deeply to Mei Qiao's memorial tablet.

When he was a child, Mei Qiao treated him fairly well and took good care of his mother.

All things considered, she wasn't wrong.

In a place like the Gu family, where people prey on each other, it's only natural that she wouldn't dare to speak out about her mother's death.

Gu Zhishen should have attended her funeral to pay his respects.

That night, after Mei Qiao told him everything, she prostrated herself on the ground and begged him for one thing—

"Young Master, Feng Kai is my only son. I spoiled him too much, which led him to develop this gambling addiction. Out of consideration for our past relationship, I beg you, please ensure my son's safety from now on."

Gu Zhishen lit a cigarette and glanced coldly at Feng Kai beside him.

"You should thank your mother for saving a few of your fingers."

"If you dare to talk so arrogantly again, I'll sew your mouth shut."
