Shen Qing whispered in her ear, and her gentle voice felt like a breeze blowing on her face.

Gu Jinyu raised her hand and gently swept away the jade finger on Shen Qing's arm, "You guys talk slowly." Shen Qing's arm hanging in the air felt awkward.

She adjusted her skirt smoothly, and her slender legs appeared vaguely from the slit.

Seeing Gu Jinyu go away, Lin Shutong became a little anxious. She had to find a way to escape as soon as possible.

"Um..." Lin Shutong pretended to be unwell and asked knowingly: "Do you know where the bathroom is?"

Shen Qing pointed to the second floor and said, "At the end of the second floor."

"Oh, really?" Lin Shutong clearly remembered that there was a bathroom on the first floor, so why did Shen Qing choose something far away? But... she was worried that she wouldn't have the chance to get close to Gu Jinyu's bedroom on the second floor, so this would be convenient.

Lin Shutong came back to his senses, pretended not to know anything, and said gratefully: "Thank you very much!"

She pretended to have unbearable abdominal pain and hurried towards the stairs. Shen Qing, who had been sweet and sweet just now, suddenly changed her face, and her eyes were filled with coldness.

Lin Shutong, this place is a bit far from the bathroom on the second floor. Just think of this pain as the interest of missing my Gu Jinyu!

The dinner party ushered in the first round of entertainment, and the distinguished guests danced to the music of the waltz on the dance floor. Lin Shutong took advantage of the gap and came to the second floor from the side stairs. She remembered that Gu Jinyu's bedroom was also on the second floor, but she didn't know exactly where it was. Which one can only be viewed one by one.

Because the high heels on her feet were prone to making noise, she simply took them off and carried them on her hands.

When I groped my way to the third room in the corridor, there was suddenly the sound of conversation coming from the room.

Oops! Someone!

Lin Shutong was so frightened that she quickly took her hand off the doorknob and pressed against the door. She vaguely heard Gu Jinyu's voice, but there was another person.

"Why haven't you finished what I asked you to do?" A cold voice asked him.

"Dad, things are not as simple as you think."

"Presumptuous! When did you learn to talk back to me!"

There was silence, as if no words were spoken again. Lin Shutong frowned and pressed her ears closer.

"That batch of jades cost the company hundreds of millions! Fortunately, Shen Qing has been helping you." The man's tone was slightly angry, and he was coughing due to being too excited.

So, the key to the jade case still lies with Gu Jinyu? As for Shen Qing, what role does she play?

"Listen, let that useless car disappear from this world, do you understand what I mean? And the woman you brought back, don't think I don't know..."

"Shu Tong, what are you doing here?" Shen Qing appeared behind her at some point. She was startled and her heart was pounding, but she still pretended to be calm.

"I saw that you haven't come downstairs for a long time. I thought you were lost and wanted to come up to find you." Shen Qing looked at her with a worried face.

Just as Lin Shutong was about to change her words and explain, the door behind her suddenly opened. She staggered and almost lost her balance.

A dark shadow shrouded above her, and the man's height of over 1.8 meters made him feel oppressive.

He stared at Lin Shutong expressionlessly, looking up and down, his expression unclear in his dark eyes.

"Are you eavesdropping again?"

She shook her head like a rattle and waved her hands hurriedly: "Well, misunderstanding!"

"I just happened to pass by the toilet, Miss Shen, right?" Lin Shutong was unreasonable and confident.

Shen Qing smiled lightly and said nothing, which was regarded as acquiescence.

Gu Jinyu lazily leaned against the door, lowered his head and saw her bare feet, and raised an eyebrow: "Go to the bathroom barefoot?"

"The high heels were uncomfortable, so I took them off." Lin Shutong could only tell lies.

Gu Jinyu directly asked the servant to bring a pair of slippers and threw them in front of her. She also pretended to wear slippers and walked toward the bathroom without any ceremony.

Shen Qing gritted her teeth and narrowed her eyes. Lin Shutong, you won't be so lucky next time.

When Lin Shutong came out of the bathroom, she could clearly feel that there were more servants coming and going in the corridors on each floor.

It seems that today's plan can only be suspended.

During the meal, Lin Shutong lied that she was feeling unwell and refused Mrs. Gu's repeated persuasion to stay. She took off her gorgeous dress and changed back to her original plain T-shirt.

Outside the door, Jiang Yuan has been waiting for a long time.

Even though it has just arrived at the beginning of summer, the wind at night is still a bit cooler.

Lin Shutong was completely covered in a large suit. Because the lovely person in front of him was too thin, Jiang Yuan stood closer to her, bent slightly and patiently buttoned the buttons one by one.

"Thank you." Lin Shutong was not used to the distance at this moment, and unconsciously took a small step back.

"Get in the car," Jiang Yuan straightened up, lowered his eyes, and said with a bitter smile, "I'll take you home."

Jiang Yuan deliberately drove slowly so that he could spend more time with her. Her eyes drifted to the window, wondering what she was thinking.

"Tell me," Lin Shutong recalled the conversation between the two in the study: "Does he know that the jade items were mixed with fakes?"

"I can't say for sure." Jiang Yuan was also unsure: "I have carefully checked the information you sent me last time, and there is nothing wrong with it."

In other words, the relevant jade appraisal certificate that Gu Jinyu has in hand is indeed authentic, so why does it contain product A?

There must be some important information missing. If Gu Jinyu knew about it, why didn't he try his best to stop himself from investigating? If he didn't know, then who could be so capable of hiding everything under his nose, and do it so flawlessly.

But she was sure that Gu Jinyu deliberately hid something from her. And the conversation between the two in the study just now, why did he destroy the truck? Or was it that he followed it deliberately and wanted to strike first.

"There's something fishy here." She had to rush to the scrapyard again before the truck was destroyed.

Before dawn the next day, the two set off for their destination. After the last explosion, the scrap car factory was covered in ruins, and a faint chemical mixture was floating in the air.

With great difficulty, Lin Shutong finally found the location where the trucks were originally stacked, but the trucks had long since disappeared, not even a scrap of bones was visible.

"It seems that we are still a step too late." Jiang Yuan looked around, and the sky gradually became brighter. He saw a familiar car not far away, and repeatedly confirmed that it was the car that Lin Shutong had driven before he was injured.

The car body was broken in the middle, and the front of the car was twisted and stuck to the ground, surrounded by fragments of the car.

Lin Shutong was squatting on the ground. Because the car turned over, she could only look up in this weird posture. There was a very small and thin wooden stick, about 2 centimeters long, inserted in the gap between the rearview mirror of the car.

She reached out and pulled it off, holding it in her hand to examine it carefully.

Not even a single weed could be found around, not to mention trees. Where could the wood come from? Jiang Yuan carefully took the stick, put it in front of his nose and smelled it, vaguely smelling the smell of paraffin.

paraffin……

"It's a match!" Jiang Yuan looked at Lin Shutong solemnly: "The wood of the match body is different from ordinary wood. In order to better contact the friction layer of the match box, a small amount of paraffin is coated on it to facilitate burning."

Matches, paraffin, gasoline...

That's right! This makes sense why a gasoline explosion suddenly occurred in a deserted scrap car factory. It could only be that someone lit the gasoline with a match and wanted to bury her!
