Especially the last one, where Nangong Xi’s face was pressed tightly against Gu Qiangwei, both of them were smiling like blooming flowers, and Nangong Xi’s hand inconspicuously made a "victory" sign. It seemed casual, but it was actually as if he was declaring something to Qin Sijue.
Looking at those photos, Qin Sijue felt all kinds of annoyance and was about to delete them all.
But just as his finger was about to press the confirm button, he suddenly paused.
Upon closer inspection, he noticed that Gu Qiangwei and Nangong Xi had a striking resemblance when they smiled, both their expressions and demeanors.
Moreover, Qin Sijue had long discovered a characteristic of Gu Qiangwei: when she laughed, her right eyebrow would rise ever so slightly. This detail was something he had noticed only when he had seen her laugh up close.
At that moment, he saw that Nangong Xi in the photo also had this trait, which made him frown.
Qin Sijue’s finger let go of the confirm button, and he fell into deep thought.
Meanwhile, Nangong Xi, who had just sent the photos to Qin Sijue, smiled smugly and was about to hand back the phone to his mother.
He handed the phone over but received no response from his mother.
Looking up, he saw her deep in thought, as if she hadn’t heard him.
Hearing him this time, Tang Yuyan, lost in her thoughts, came back to her senses, turned around, and looked at her son.
"Your phone." He held out the phone toward her.
Seeing the phone, Tang Yuyan lapsed into another daze.
"Mommy, what’s wrong with you?"
Nangong Xi could tell she seemed somewhat absent-minded.
Tang Yuyan became alert again, glanced at the phone, and then took it from him.
By this time, the black Bentley had already arrived at Nangong Villa.
The little rascal couldn’t wait to burst into the living room, while Tang Yuyan, who got out of the car after him, went under a rose bush in the courtyard holding the phone, and dialed a private investigator.
"Another clue is, help me check out someone named Gu Zhendong. I want to know who his first wife was, where she went, whether she’s alive or dead."
After hanging up the phone, Tang Yuyan turned around to leave.
As soon as she looked up, however, she saw Nangong Feifei, who she hadn’t noticed standing across from the rose bush, and her face revealed a slight shock.
"What are you doing here?"
Nangong Feifei glanced at her and said, "What, feeling guilty like a thief? Afraid I’ll discover some dirty secret of yours?"
In fact, she had just walked over and only heard Tang Yuyan’s last sentence: "whether alive or dead."
Tang Yuyan glanced at her, aware that her desire to kill Gu Qiangwei had infiltrated her heart, seemed to have less tolerance than before, and thus, she turned and went back inside.
Staring at her retreating figure, Nangong Feifei had a malicious look in her eyes, yet she didn’t think too much of it and pulled out her phone to call Fu Yingying.
She had told her that morning that Gu Qiangwei was going to Beihai Park to walk her dog alone and wondered if she had succeeded yet.
The call connected, but the display showed that the phone was switched off...
Nangong Feifei’s brows knitted slightly, sensing something amiss.
Although she rarely contacted Fu Yingying, the woman never turned off her phone.
She tried calling again, but it was still switched off.
Damn it, Fu Yingying, what on earth are you doing? Has she failed again?
With this thought, Nangong Feifei couldn’t help but become worried. If she spilled everything to Gu Qiangwei and Qin Sijue found out, he would surely, like last time, come charging to her house and kill her with his own hands!
