Chapter 80: 80: He Directly Touched It_1
The camera across from my house belongs to the traffic control department, they are currently analyzing the data retrieved from it.
Uh, okay, that seems quite impressive.
I had thought about doing this before, but lacked the time and the skills.
Besides, the massive amount of data collected over a year would take time to sift through.
Ding Yinuo noticed they were a bit slow in their analysis, so he told me:
“You go eat first. I’ll let them find. Once they’re done, you can come and check.”
I pondered for a moment:
“How about this, you guys help me find it, and I’ll go to work!”
“No!”
I don’t know what’s gotten into Ding Yinuo today; he absolutely doesn’t want me to go to work.
“Ding Yinuo, what are you up to?”
I was a bit peeved.
He grabbed my arm, dragged me into the room and shut the door.
He stood in front of me, fixating hard on me with his black eyes. Suddenly, his gaze fell upon my neck and he reached out to touch it.
I instinctively took a step back.
“Ding Yinuo, what are you doing?”
“Why do you have a wound?”
“I, uh… I was scratched by a branch!”
“You know what I do for a living, right?”
“A doctor?”
“Then why don’t you tell the truth?”
“I am telling the truth. I was scratched by a branch!”
Truth be told, when I’m around Gu Yuanzhou, I’m a bit cautious, since Gu Yuanzhou is ruthless, he might actually kill me.
But Ding Yinuo? I’m not afraid of him.
It’s been more and more like we are just two good friends at this point.
So I lost the awe and trepidation I used to feel for him.
“Stop bluffing. Do you think I’d believe that you got this from a branch scratch? Fine, if you won’t tell me, I’ll just call Gu Yuanzhou and ask!”
This man, true to his word, immediately pulled out his phone and dialed Gu Yuanzhou’s number.
Seeing this, I hurriedly stopped him.
If he makes that call, all my secrets will be exposed.
“Alright, I’ll tell, just don’t call!”
Only then did he end the call that was already connecting…
“Well, I’ll tell… Last night, I wanted to get Wu Jun to tell the truth, so I got her drunk. Then I had a bit to drink myself, was slightly tipsy and talked back to him a couple of times.”
“Then what?”
Ding Yinuo looked deeply worried.
Without me realizing, my arm was already hurting from his tight grip.
“Then he did what you’re doing now, squeezed me tight and nearly choked me to death! Afterwards, Ye Mengyan came out and stopped him.”
He seemed to come to his senses and released his hold on me.
“Did I hurt you?”
“Of course, it hurt like hell! You, seriously, don’t even know how to treat a lady properly. It really hurts!”
I exaggerated on purpose, then he grabbed my arm again, rolled up my sleeve, and patiently started massaging it.
In the room, the two of us stayed silent, the only sound was our intermingling breaths.
While massaging, I got a weird feeling about the atmosphere.
So I pushed him away, “It’s not hurting anymore!”
“You should move out of Maple Mansion!”
“No!”
“Living with him is too dangerous. You are at risk of being exposed at any time. Given Gu Yuanzhou’s personality, if he killed you once, he’d definitely do it again.”
“I don’t care, if I were to die at his hands again, I would only blame myself for being unlucky.”
“Nonsense, is it because you’re not smart enough? What’s this about bad luck? If you hadn’t insisted on marrying him back then, would we be in this mess?”
Ding Yinuo’s words hit me like a bucket of cold water.
They jolted me awake.
Yes, if I hadn’t married him back then.
How good would that have been?
At least my two kids wouldn’t be entangled in this mess.
I smirked bitterly,
“Yes, I’m the foolish one, I’m the deserter! Go ahead, laugh at me all you want!”
Upon hearing this, Ding Yinuo fell silent.
“No one’s laughing at you! What’s the point of other people’s laughter, the key point is you’re the one suffering! Doesn’t it hurt?”
“Ding Yinuo, are you sympathizing with me? This isn’t typical behavior for an archenemy!”
“So, can’t you learn from your past mistakes to avoid making the same ones in the future?”
“Ding Yinuo, let’s discuss this matter later!”
I do understand that Ding Yinuo meant well.
But there is no turning back from this.
I can’t afford to lose the chance of getting in touch with Gu Yuanzhou, despite the high risks of living together.
Because it’s the easiest way to learn more about him.
Moreover, because we’re living so close, it’s easier to strike.
As soon as I find out he’s the real culprit behind everything, I could end him in an instant.
At that moment, there was a knock on the door. Ding Yinuo opened it to find Su Peisheng standing outside,
“Cough, did I interrupt your indulgence?”
“Cut the crap, get to the point!”
Ding Yinuo cut him off.
Su Peisheng gave me a meaningful look and chuckled,
“Isn’t Ding junior moving a bit too fast?”
“Will you die if you talk less?”
Ding Yinuo snapped.
This man, he always makes obscene jokes whenever we’re together. I could only play dumb.
Is Ding Yinuo’s speed too fast? How would I know? I haven’t experienced it before!
“Cough, get back to business. We’ve found the person you mentioned during the Spring Festival …”
“Really?!”
I rushed to the computer right away.
The images I saw were all selected by the software.
However, the ones captured by the camera across the road, which were usually used for catching traffic violations, were unclear.
But it did prove Wu Jun was right.
During the Spring Festival, indeed, two men came to the villa at Golden Bay…
They were waiting outside the gate initially, Gu Yuanzhou let them in once he came back.
“Can you recognize them?”
Ding Yinuo enlarged the images for me to see.
I looked closely again and again, but the picture was very blurry, making it almost impossible to make out their faces.
Ding Yinuo pointed at one of the short men and said, “Look, he has curly hair, think carefully, have you seen this guy in your life?”
A memory then surfaced in my mind.
“It’s him, I remember now!”
“Who is it?”
Ding Yinuo immediately followed up with a question.
I kept silent.
“He’s one of Gu Yuanzhou’s people, I know him! I never thought it would be them!”
“Who is he?”
Right now, Ding Yinuo is probably itching to catch these two men and interrogate them.
“In the past when Gu Yuanzhou worked for my uncle, he had two very capable subordinates. One was named Damaha, and the other was called Little Juanmao. It’s those two.”
Ding Yinuo’s eyes narrowed immediately, “Let’s go, get those bastards and make them confess!”
Just then, my phone suddenly started to ring. I pulled it out from the bag. The flashing number displayed on the screen was from Gu Yuanzhou.
To pick up or not to pick up?
