There’s no need for that. They haven’t made any move at all. Without any evidence, what could the police even do if we called them over?
Gu Nuan and Su Yixia suddenly stopped talking, and the atmosphere changed. Xiao Yebai adjusted the flashy sunglasses on his nose bridge.
Zang Xiaolian was also puzzled, "What’s wrong?"
"Seems like they suspect we are the bad guys."
Zang Xiaolian: Uh!
Well, the two of them, eavesdropping unethically on others’ conversations, did qualify as bad people.
"Bro, let’s head back for now. Minister Li should have gotten the investigative materials sent over from there," Zang Xiaolian suggested.
Li Sitong was responsible for sending people to investigate Gu Nuan’s background. According to the investigation they launched imdiately after Gu Nuan left yesterday, she was not only a mber of the Gu family but also a finance graduate student at University C. So, to understand Gu Nuan better, they had to go to her university to investigate.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yebai took his phone out of his pocket and dialed Li Sitong’s number.
Knowing that they were being watched, and probably with ill intent, Gu Nuan and Su Yixia were not in the mood to chat. They quickly finished their als, paid for the food, and headed ho.
The Gu family’s house was just diagonally across. The two girls ran across the street and got to the entrance of Gu Nuan’s ho, where they entered and locked the anti-theft door behind them, without opening it again.
Clearly, they were seen as the bad guys.
Zang Xiaolian was extrely frustrated. This was the first ti in his life he had been seen as a villain.
Xiao Yebai’s face looked even worse than his.
"Does this face of mine look like a bad guy’s?"
"Bro, didn’t you know? Nowadays, in TV shows and movies, the villains are all portrayed with a face as handso as yours. The more rotten they are, the more handso they seem to look."
Zang Xiaolian let out this remark purely out of the frustration of being implicated; inadvertently, he let his true thoughts slip. As expected, right after he finished, he received a harsh kick under the table from soone.
"A handso face ans a villain. You can even co up with such twisted logic. Are you her person, or mine? I’m starting to doubt whether you’re a spy she planted in my midst," Xiao Yebai glared fiercely at him.
Rubbing his almost broken leg, Zang Xiaolian smiled bitterly, "But what do you want to do, bro? Why are you tracking her? Have you forgotten she’s a woman? If it were , I’d be scared."
"I’ve said, she let a big fish slip right from my mouth."
Zang Xiaolian knew that he cared so much because this was the first ti he had faced such a failure.
Who would have thought that a plain-looking woman could catch them off-guard, completely destroying the plan they had been scheming for months?
The difference between three hundred thousand and ten million is not a small amount.
"Bro, actually, we can turn this ga around," Zang Xiaolian suddenly had an idea, a very natural thought.
Xiao Yebai snorted coldly, knowing what he was thinking, "Do you believe she will accept our bribe and stand on our side?"
Isn’t it all about money? They could pay her more than what Qiu Sangou was offered; anyway, it’d definitely be more cost-effective than giving Qiu Sangou ten million. Nobody would refuse money, right?
"I would have thought so too, but now it seems unlikely."
"Why, bro?"
"Because she was dumped by a man."
Zang Xiaolian couldn’t see how the two were related and looked at him, puzzled.
Xiao Yebai blew on the condensation on top of his milk tea cup, "That ans, even though she acts ruthlessly, her sense of justice is overwhelming."
Standing by the window at ho, Gu Nuan took the opportunity to peer out while Su Yixia went to the restroom. She opened the curtains and glanced across at the milk tea shop. In no ti, she spotted that dandy dressed in a white shirt and white pants because he truly stood out, not in an ordinary way.
Such a man, who seed like a spotlight wherever he stood, who on earth was he?
