Chapter 959: Chapter 959: So It Was All Her Doing (9)
Is this considered throwing the burden to Gu Nuan along the way?
Zhuang Haoxiong’s eyes slowly swept over the rear of the car as Gu Nuan and the others left, then followed Grandma Zhuang back into the castle.
Sitting in the car, finally able to leave this eerie place, Zhong Qiaohui and the others felt as if they had just woken from a nightmare.
Qiu Wenduo sat in the car with Gu Nuan, looking like he had changed into clean clothes and returned to his usual state. The decision by Melissa to suddenly hand him over to Gu Nuan was somewhat unexpected for him.
Why couldn’t Melissa handle him? Can Gu Nuan handle him?
Just then, Zhong Qiaohui, puzzling over this question, turned around and asked Gu Nuan, "What use is he? The intelligence he holds isn’t the stuff Melissa and the others want? Does it have anything to do with us?"
"First, you must know why they captured him," Gu Nuan said.
"Yes, why?" Zhong Qiaohui’s eyes scrutinizing Qiu Wenduo’s face with deep suspicion.
Qiu Wenduo displayed a flawless calm expression.
He watched them guess, certain they couldn’t figure it out. Don’t think that Gu Nuan knows everything just because she discovered Melissa’s identity; actually, Gu Nuan had already said, there were obvious clues.
Gu Nuan said, "I’ve told you, these people don’t really like killing. Otherwise, you’d see that, although they’ve imprisoned him in the basement, they haven’t subjected him to torture. So, he must have done something that crossed the line, something they didn’t want him to do, which greatly infuriated them."
"What?" Zhong Qiaohui was perplexed, "You said he failed in his investments and that made them angry?"
"No." Gu Nuan shook her head, "He killed someone."
One sentence shocked not only Zhong Qiaohui but also visibly fractured Qiu Wenduo’s calm expression.
Gu Nuan’s gaze slanted towards his face.
Sweat began to bead on Qiu Wenduo’s forehead.
Gu Nuan spoke word by word, "Lin Jiale, it was you who killed—"
"No, it wasn’t me!" Qiu Wenduo yelled at the sky, desperately tugging at his tie in clarification.
"If it wasn’t you, let me guess, who was it?" Gu Nuan squinted, "Someone who harbored a grudge against Lin Jiale, took the opportunity to retaliate, wanted to kill him, actually wished to kill another person, but knew that killing Lin Jiale would be the greatest blow to that person."
Upon hearing this, even Zhong Qiaohui seemed to catch a hint of the clue. Zhong Qiaohui covered her open mouth with her hand in shock and said, "No way, that blind woman!"
Yes, undoubtedly that person had long considered Gu Nuan a thorn in her side, but talking about it, when she was in such a situation, apart from Gu Nuan, the other person, also a fellow student, did not promptly lend a hand but was busy protecting herself, how could it not arouse resentment.
Therefore, it’s someone that no one expected. The person who ran over Lin Jiale was a woman. Moreover, it’s a woman everyone knew.
If Lin Yishan really knew afterward, who knows how she would feel.
Qiu Wenduo wiped the sweat off his forehead with the back of his hand and said, "I don’t know what you’re talking about."
"You might as well say that you were sitting in the passenger seat at the time, and she couldn’t see, so she had to rely on you for directions."
"You weren’t even at the scene when it happened, what could you possibly know!" Qiu Wenduo’s unprecedented outburst indicated that his calm demeanor was gone, clearly showing that everything Gu Nuan said hit the mark, pinpointing his weakness, revealing the truth.
Gu Nuan’s face was composed.
Her expression at this moment was like the prelude to a storm.
Qiu Wenduo was frightened and desperately backed away, retreating to the point that he considered jumping out of the car himself, but the car door was locked and wouldn’t open, panting, "No, it’s not, it’s not. I’ll tell the truth, I might as well tell the truth, you’ve seen it yourself, I’ve been caught and imprisoned here for a month, tell me, how could I know, how could I know where she goes now? And what are you looking for her for? Isn’t she at odds with Lin Yishan? This has nothing to do with you, does it?"
Gu Nuan slowly leaned back against the seat, saying nothing.
Zhong Qiaohui saw what was in her heart.
Now this seems very likely to really be the work of that blind Su. It’s just unknown what lifeline this blind Su grabbed, allowing her to do as she pleases, even able to capture Xiao Yebai.
Thinking back, Blind Su’s brother worked at Mingxin Hospital, and Blind Su, being a great beauty, undoubtedly, men must have secretly admired, harboring feelings for Blind Su, therefore willing to help fulfill her wishes.
All of this inevitably pointed to, certainly, another face-to-face meeting between classmates.
"She will come, because my husband curses her as a toad. She doesn’t want to be a toad, she wants to be a white swan, she certainly wants to turn me into a pauper, then turn herself into a rich person. And here, the gambling game that’s about to start is undoubtedly the best opportunity."
