Chapter 475 - The Hidden Truth
Chapter 475 The Hidden Truth
Gu Anguo and Yi Yunrui are left alone in the Commander’s office.
Gu Anguo drinks tea while Yi Yunrui sits silently on the seat.
“Rui, Tang was right. You really always look cool with a poker face. It is not surprising that she has been trying to make you put on some emotions on your face.”
“It is my personality. It is quite hard to make any changes to that.”
“Ha. Ha!” Gu Anguo laughs, “It is not a matter of whether you can change or not, but of whom you will change for. Well. Hasn’t Tang found out your weak point now?”
Yi Yunrui’s eyes slightly gleam. He mildly lowers his head, “Yes. She does.”
Not expecting that Yi Yunrui will agree so frankly, Gu Anguo lifts his eyebrows, “You are a frank person. Good. I like to deal with people like you.”
“Commander, you are flattering me.”
Gu Anguo stands up. He goes closer to Yi Yunrui and sits down on the seat Xia Ning sat before. He looks at Yi Yunrui meaningfully.
“Minister Gu, do you come to C City to discuss anything special with me?”
Gu Anguo lifts his eyebrows.
It is correct. He comes to C City to discuss something special with Yi Yunrui.
This young man is astonishingly capable!
Gu Anguo is superior in position, but in some aspects, he has to listen to Yi Yunrui.
Yi Yunrui is a key protected person of the management. Even Minister Gu himself is not included in the “key” list.
“Rui, I heard that Luan brought some trouble to your wife. Do you have any comments on the case?”
Yi Yunrui thinks for a while. His eyes gleam sharply and he understands at once, “Some days ago, my wife and I went to see your son in the hospital. We talked with him. Those happened are past. I don’t have any comments.”
Hearing Yi Yunrui’s words, Gu Anguo gives a sigh of relief.
“Good. That is good. You are a broad-minded man, a man for real achievements! I admire you!”
“Commander, I feel flattered.”
“Ahem!” Yi Yunrui’s words sound a little distant, which makes Gu Anguo quite embarrassed.
“Rui, it is said that some new information is found out about Tang’s case. I come to C City this time to cooperate with you so that we can find out the real perpetrator soon.”
Yi Yunrui turns serious, “If we want to close the case soon, we have to run the system. Or, it may take a much longer time.”
For the issue of finding out the monitoring video only, they have to go through the procedures with a lot of departments. Besides, whether there is a video about that on the night is to be known. After they get the video, they have to do a lot of analysis. However, time doesn’t wait.
Gu Anguo thinks for a while. He asks, “If we run the system, how long the time do you need?”
“Three days.”
“Three days?” That is fast. It is unexpectedly fast.
“Three days at most.”
Gu Anguo feels surprised. Three days at most? Does he mean that it may be one day, or two days?
“What kind of operation authorization do you need?”
Yi Yunrui slightly lifts his lips, “Minister Gu may be too busy to remember. Once the system is used while I am the operator, there won’t be a thing called the authorization limit.”
Hearing this, Gu Anguo twitches his lips.
Yi Yunrui is not exaggerating. He is one of the founders of the system!
“Ahem!” Gu Anguo makes a cough to hide the embarrassment. He says, “Just now, you said that it will take you three days to find out the perpetrator. I will apply for eighty hours for you to use the system. Is that OK?”
Yi Yunrui’s eyes gleam meaningfully. He responds, “You give me eight more hours. Minister Gu, you are really generous.”
“Ah. Ha…” Gu Anguo smiles with tactics flashing in his eyes. He says, “My son Luan told me something last evening. He planned to go to the police office. Ah…I am old. I have only a son and a daughter. Ruoruo is going to marry Yunyi. Our families are going to be relatives by marriage. However, my son is still not married. After all those happened, his career has almost been ruined. I will go to visit Director Tong in a few days. If Director Tong asks you about something, Rui…”
“Commander, what Mr. Gu did is past. Ning and I won’t keep so much in our mind. You don’t need to worry.”
Hearing this, Gu Anguo smiles more sincerely, “Oh…That is good. Well. That is really good. Rui, we may keep our focus on Tang’s case.”
Gu Anguo stands up, “Where is Xie? Didn’t he just go to the washing room? He seems to have been away for a century! Rui, please wait for a while. I go to find him.”
Then, Gu Anguo opens the door and walks out of the office.
Yi Yunrui slightly screws his eyes. He takes up the cup and drinks some tea.
Unsurprisingly, Minister Gu comes to C City to negotiate with him besides the openly business. The extra eight hours given to use the system will be enough for him to figure out some things.
Xia Ning follows Tang Qieying. They walk along the Yingbin Road. The flowers on both sides are in full bloom. The wind blows the fragrance of them and provides fresh and comfortable air.
Though Tang Qieying looks fine, Xia Ning feels guilty, thinking that no woman can stand such a humiliation.
She thinks for a while. After some mental struggles, Xia Ning decides to ask frankly, “Ms. Tang, aren’t you mad at me?”
Tang Qieying feels surprised. She turns around and looks at Xia Ning in confusion, “Mad? Why should I be mad at you?”
“Well…” Xia Ning murmurs, “I mean the photos and video…Ms….”
“Oh. That case.” As if she suddenly remembers it, Tang Qieying stops. She holds out her hand to pat Xia Ning on her shoulder, “When the photos and video were spread, to be honest, I was scared. However, I felt released very soon as if I finally got rid of a burden of thousands of kilos in weight.”
Xia Ning feels confused to hear her words, wondering why Tang Qieying said she felt released after it happened!
Tang Qieying hesitates for a while and gives a sigh. She looks serious on her face. Seemingly, she remembers a lot of things.
In an instant, Xia Ning sees the history of a woman in her fifties on Tang Qieying’s face. She realizes at once that behind the case, there are a lot of things involved.
“Ning, there are things that I can’t tell you directly. But I can briefly tell you some.” Tang Qieying points at the flowers beside them, “At that time, I was young like a flower. Everything was great. A lot of people chased behind me. Among all of them, I fell in love with a man. He came from a strong family and was in a superior position with great power. To me then, he was so advantageous and far from me.”
“However, such a big shot condescended to give me all his love. It was the happiest time of my life when I stayed with him.” Tang Qieying smiles. Her eyes soften with affections. It is imaginable how sweet she was at that time.
“However, good time didn’t last. Such an excellent man was destined to be chased by a lot of noble women. I was young and inferior to others in the aspects of tricks. Then, I was set up and those photos and videos were taken. After that happened, I was so scared that I told no one else. I didn’t dare to tell him, either. I didn’t want him to know that I was humiliated in such a way.” Tang Qieying closes her eyes to take a deep breath. All the nightmares were because of that issue.
If that hadn’t happened, he and she wouldn’t have taken a circuitous route and wasted the time of tens of years.
“Ms. Tang, I don’t think he minded…”
“He didn’t mind, but I did. He had a great expectation. How could he be stained because of me? I would be in his way of success.” Yes. She would become the biggest obstacle to his future career. She loved him. How could she bear to see him humiliated by all other people because of her?”
“I never dared to tell anyone about this event. In the past tens of years, I pretended to be indifferent to him. In order to stop him loving me, I used all kinds of methods…” Tang Qieying clenches her fists and tries to control her emotions. After quite a while, she calms down and puts on a smile, “I was not there and he succeeded. I felt really happy for him. However, he is silly. I am so mean to him while he still loves me as he always did. He is a fool, a true fool.”
Xia Ning understands what a sad thing it can be for two lovers to hurt each other. She can feel it in her own heart. If not being pushed to the corner, who will hurt the one she loves most? Even when she did, she did anything for his good.
He understands Tang Qieying’s feeling. A lot of things happened to her in the past recent years. The idea of leaving Yi Yunrui popped up in her head from time to time. If Yi Yunrui hadn’t insisted and been persistent, Xia Ning and he might have been parted forever.
“Now, it is revealed and he knows it. He understands my bitterness, too. Tang Qieying turns around to hold Xia Ning’s hand, “In this aspect, I really need to thank you. I have borne the burden for tens of years. Now, I can get rid of it. I feel free now.”
Xia Ning frowns. She looks at Tang Qieying’s relaxed smile. She still feels a little worried, “Ms. Tang, what’s your plan?”
She gets rid of the burden and it ends? What will happen between them? Will they stay together? Besides, Tang Qieying hasn’t responded to the case. If the man will be involved, how will Tang Qieying deal with the case?
There are still some complicated issues to deal with.
“My plan…” Tang Qieying cocks her head and says, “He has helped me figure it out. I also have thought about it carefully. We will deal with it as we should do.”
Oh. Seemingly, they have worked out the solution. Xia Ning feel relieved.
“Ms. Tang, will you stay with that man?”
Tang Qieying blinks her eyes. She responds naughtily, “Who knows. We are both old people now. We may let nature take its course.”
Let nature take its course? It has been half of their life.
“Ning, your husband is not a normal man. You have to keep an eye on him. Though you have married him and you are going to have a baby, there are still many competitions. A lot of women won’t give up. Therefore, you have to be careful yourself. Don’t allow any accidents to happen to you. Don’t become the second me. Ah. I am not threatening you. You don’t take it wrong.”
Xia Ning smiles, “I know. You are just being considerate to me.”
Tang Qieying is right. Xia Ning really needs to pay attention to this issue. She and Yi Yunrui are a team now. One of them succeeds, so does the other, while one of them fails, the other, too.
