Tian Ling felt anxious. "So what happened next? What did the police say? Now that we have solid evidence, they should be making arrests!"
Tong Le took a deep breath. "The police should have already located Ke Wenjie’s residence. I submitted all the evidence I had, including the footage from the private investigator. The only problem is that in the footage, there's only Ke Wei Qiang's silhouette. I'm really worried that Ke Wenjie might evade suspicion."
At that moment, Lan Qingqing and Mo Kai Liang entered the restaurant.
Lan Qingqing was dressed in a pure white long dress, while Mo Kai Liang looked sharp in a well-fitted suit. They walked in side by side.
Lan Qingqing had parked the rented Rolls Royce right at the entrance of the restaurant, perfectly positioned for everyone to see. It was a striking luxury car worth several tens of thousands, and anyone who saw it couldn't help but comment.
She carried the Hermes bag that Hou Yi had given her, slung over her shoulder. In comparison, Tian Ling's canvas bag hanging on the back of her chair seemed rather shabby.
Tian Ling leaned closer to Tong Le and whispered, "It's just a cheap bag! Look at her acting all high and mighty; it’s not even better than mine. With that kind of money, I could start my own website!"
Tong Le chuckled. "When I have money in the future, I'll invest in your website!"
Mo Kai Liang, ever the gentleman, pulled out a chair for Lan Qingqing to sit first.
Immediately, Lan Qingqing spoke with a hint of pride, "This restaurant is one we come to often! We're regulars here!"
She turned to Mo Kai Liang with a smile and said, "Right, dear?"
Mo Kai Liang nodded slightly, choosing to remain quiet and appear deep in thought.
Lan Qingqing then addressed Tian Ling, "I mean, that old bag of yours has been around for years! Can't you get a new one? It's all pilled up!"
Tian Ling forced a smile and replied, "I don’t have money! Unlike you, who found such a wealthy partner."
With a touch of arrogance in her tone, Lan Qingqing added meaningfully, "Of course! People aim high while water flows low. I have to plan well for my future partner; Tong Le surely understands this too!"
She winked at Tong Le, hinting at her affair with Zong Zeyu. "Don't you think so, Tong Le?"
Tong Le awkwardly smiled. If it weren't for her pride, she would have liked to splash her lemonade right onto Lan Qingqing's face to wake her up!
Just then, the waiter came over with dessert before the meal.
Lan Qingqing looked around at the empty restaurant and said to the waiter, "It’s so quiet today! Why is it just us here? It’s usually not like this."
The waiter maintained a professional smile and explained, "Zong Zeyu cleared the place out early today. He heard Miss Tong was dining here and had us clear out two hours in advance to provide a better experience for our esteemed guests."
Everyone at the table was taken aback; Tong Le was especially stunned.
Lan Qingqing stammered, "Cleared out? Zong Zeyu?"
She turned to Tong Le and asked incredulously, "Did you ask Zong Zeyu to clear the place?"
Lan Qingqing felt a sense of trepidation. How much would it cost to clear the place?
The waiter smiled and reassured her that the clearing fee was far less than the price of a bottle of wine that Zong Zeyu had reserved for Miss Tong.
The waiter turned to signal to the other staff waiting nearby, and soon brought over a bottle of high-end red wine, which started at fifty thousand.
Lan Qingqing experienced an unprecedented sense of defeat. She had wanted to show off in front of Tong Le, regardless of whether her current situation was real or fabricated. After all, she was a legitimate second-generation rich kid, while Tong Le was just an unfaithful woman!
But now, her dreams lay shattered—not only that, but her self-esteem was in tatters.
The waiter spoke again, explaining that Zong Zeyu had instructed him to put this charge on his tab. The meal that Miss Lan had originally ordered had also been upgraded to the highest tier.
Lan Qingqing felt even more embarrassed. She had chosen the cheapest package at the restaurant to showcase her status, only for Zong Zeyu's single remark to crush all her efforts today.
Tian Ling couldn't help but stifle a laugh several times. She forced herself to hold back her amusement and deliberately said, "Zong Zeyu's capabilities are just different, huh? But you know, there are plenty of capable men out there; not many are willing to spend money like this."
Tian Ling provocatively turned to Lan Qingqing and said, "Don't you agree, Lan Qingqing?"
Tong Le turned her head to look at Tian Ling, who immediately averted her gaze and dared not meet Tong Le's eyes.
Just from Tian Ling's evasive glance, Tong Le understood that Tian Ling must have secretly tipped off Zong Zeyu! Otherwise, how could he have arranged all this in advance? Now it seemed that she was truly the center of attention today—what a glorious moment for her!
Tong Le couldn't help but chuckle inwardly. Though what they were doing wasn't exactly honorable, she felt immensely satisfied watching Lan Qingqing's humiliation.
