Wenya had barely taken her seat when a man in a suit walked in through the door. It was Su Peisheng.
âHi, everyone! The breakfast just got served. Seems like I came at the perfect time!â
Su Peisheng naturally took a seat beside Wenya, as if they were already a couple.
Upon seeing him, Wenya reacted as if she had seen the plague, and immediately moved to sit beside me.
Su Peisheng, with a smile on his face, teased Wenya. He seemed quite pleased.
âPeople who are about to become husband and wife should not be so rigid with each other, should they?â
But Wenya was not as pleased. She rolled her eyes at Su Peisheng,
âShameless. Nobody invited you here and you have the nerve to freeload.â
âAhem, who said no one invited me! Mr. Ding himself invited me, via text message!â
Wenya immediately turned her head to Ding Yinuo and questioned,
âWhy did you invite Su Peisheng?â
âI didnât invite him, I just told him to come and pay the bill!â fđżđewebnođđđč.đ°đšm
Ding Yinuo said this with a calm expression.
Wenya shrugged, decided not to speak further,
âFine. I will eat more then since Mr. Su is paying the bill.â
âEat as much as you like. I can surely afford your meals!â
âWho wants you to feed them?â
Whenever these two meet, they never cease to argue, exchanging blows in a verbal sparring match.
When there were more people around, Ding Yinuo stopped talking and silently finished his soy milk.
Watching Su Peisheng laugh and joke with Wenya, he didnât make a sound.
After breakfast, I asked Wenya,
âYou said earlier that you knew Gu Yuanzhouâs goal, what is it?â
âCannot you see it?â
Su Peisheng went to pay the bill, and Wenya moved a little closer to me, whispering in my ear.
âIs there a chance⊠that he is testing you?â
âTesting me? For what?â
âThat is, does he suspect that you are Song Yun?â
âThatâs impossible! Why would he think that? If he really suspected me, he wouldnât have taken me to Maple Mansion!â
Wenya also squinted her eyes in agreement,
âOn second thought, youâre right. If he suspected you were Song Yun, he should be hiding his misdeeds, not letting you discover them, right? Exactly, if he were a thief who had stolen something, he definitely wouldnât dare face the owner.â
At this time, Ding Yinuo suddenly came over.
He gave me a deep look, âHave you noticed any problems?â
âWenya was overthinking just now. I donât think Gu Yuanzhou would make such an assumption.â
After I finished speaking, there was only a cold laugh from Ding Yinuo.
I was irritated by his attitude and opened my hands to him,
âOkay. Since you disagree, why donât you tell me, whatâs your conjecture?â
Smoking his cigarette, Ding Yinuo gave me a deep look, âI agree with Wenya.â
âHeh, so you mean, even though he knows I am Song Yun, he would still dare to openly reveal his relationship with Ye Mengyan? Isnât he afraid Iâd find out? Do you know that, in front of me, he voluntarily exposed a lot of things! He fired company veterans, made many private investments behind my back, isnât he afraid that I would find out?â
When I angrily listed these evidences, Ding Yinuo only calmly responded,
âAyun, youâre already dead. Who would be afraid of a dead person?â
The words of Ding Yinuo sent chills down my spine.
Yes! Song Yun is dead.
She turned into a charred corpse in the fire at Golden Bay.
Everyone in the city knows about it.
What threat could a person who is widely acknowledged as dead pose?
Moreover, I have no evidence that he was involved in the plot.
The more I thought about it, the colder my heart felt.
But everything that Ding Yinuo said next sent me into a state of extreme anxiety.
âDo you think I canât handle him?â
âIf I must sayâŠyou might as well see what Gu Yuanzhou thinks! His boldness in testing you surely means he has a plan.â
âSo, what do you think he will do next if he concludes that I am the reincarnation of Song Yun?â
This question seemed to be an old topic.
I was investigating Gu Yuanzhou while he was also probing me.
Ding Yinuo and Wenyaâs warnings made me vigilant, and I realized there were many problems upon careful thought.
For instance, he deliberately played chess with me.
And there were many details during our trip to Rainbow Town.
When we went to eat the firewood chicken, he deliberately allowed me to walk in front. He must be secretly observing me from behind.
He deliberately asked me about my zodiac sign.
Also during the meal, he tested whether I eat cilantro,
And he deliberately passed by that orchard.
Upon careful thought, many small inconsistencies came to light.
These minor things were actually odd. This was certainly not how a leader would behave toward an ordinary staff member.
It was obvious that he suspected me and then began observing my performance.
No wonder Ding Yinuo had been insistent on calling to meet me. He must have seen the discrepancies long ago.
At this point, Ding Yinuo pondered for a while,
âGiven his character, if he knows that you are Song Yun, he will first find out how much you know. And if you would hinder him, if you will, he might kill you again.â
I was silent.
Wenya wasnât quite happy on hearing this,
âAyun, donât be afraid. Weâre your friends. Weâve got your back. If he dares to touch you, Iâll call the police.â
âOkay, I get it!â
After breakfast, Wenya went back to work at the university, and Su Peisheng rushed to meet the next client. Before leaving, he enthusiastically invited Wenya to check his âimpotenceâ issue, indicating he was open for her inspection at any time and place.
Wenya stared at him, claiming she would rather stay single for a lifetime than let him have the advantage.
I also packed my things and walked out of the restaurant, with Ding Yinuo, carrying his suit, walking beside me.
Before parting, I asked Ding Yinuo,
âIf what youâre saying is true, what should I do?â
Ding Yinuo had his hands in his pockets, a cold look in his eyes.
âYouâve already been fooled once, donât let it happen again.â
âGet to the point!â
âStrike first!â
âWhat?â
âDidnât I give you that medicine? Now is the time to use it on him!â
âBut this is just a guess between us. What if he isnât thinking that way? Wouldnât that be killing him by mistake?â
âI think! Just the fact that he hides another woman from you justifies you slipping that bottle of medicine into his drink?â
âI âŠâ
âAyun, donât be soft-hearted anymore! If you continue to be softhearted, youâll be the one to suffer. Donât hold back!â
He repeated the last three words several times, seemingly hypnotizing me.
In the end, I nodded my agreement, âFine!â
