The brutality of Ying Rong Xiao far exceeded the imaginations of Tong Le and Dao Wen. Tong Le had considered that Lan Qingqing might suffer from side effects after undergoing so many cosmetic procedures at once, but he never expected that Ying Rong Xiao would treat her as a test subject, even going so far as to blind her.
The office fell silent for a while. Tong Le turned to Lan Qingqing and said, "You mentioned you recorded videos of Ge Miao and Ke Jie. Send them to me."
Lan Qingqing complied, and both Tong Le and Dao Wen reviewed the videos together. Tong Le felt disgusted; after all these years, Ke Jie’s infidelity was still unchanged.
As they sorted through the events leading up to this moment, based on Lan Qingqing's account, it indeed provided a motive for Ying Rong Xiao to kill.
Dao Wen said to Lan Qingqing, "If you can gather more evidence, we can help you. As Tong Le mentioned earlier, you can't confront Ying Rong Xiao and Ke Jie head-on. You need to temper your stubbornness. Your current emotions and temperament are not conducive to taking revenge on anyone."
Tong Le reminded her, "Use the tactics you employed against Ke Jie—softness can overcome hardness. You used to be quite adept at that; you had both Ke Jie and me fooled. Why are you losing your composure now?"
Lan Qingqing lowered her head in embarrassment, unsure when she had become this way. She used to be more composed.
Her emotions became increasingly fragile as tears welled in her eyes. "I really don’t want to die. I don’t want to end up like Ge Miao. She just slept with Ke Jie and was killed by Ying Rong Xiao. I don’t want to die; I truly don’t want to die."
Tong Le and Dao Wen silently watched as Lan Qingqing lost her grip on reality. They both agreed that she seemed mentally unstable.
Tong Le spoke up, "Tell us everything you know. We will contact the police, and all investigations will be conducted discreetly. If you can get close to Ke Jie or Ying Rong Xiao, gain their trust. If you can’t do that, just go home and take care of yourself."
Lan Qingqing looked up, pleading, "Can you help me find a good doctor or hospital? I want to treat my eyes; I want to live a few more years."
Dao Wen interjected, "Do you really need Tong Le's help for that? What about your boyfriend—the one named Mo? Isn’t he rich now? Can’t you ask him or Ying Qian for treatment?"
Lan Qingqing felt embarrassed again. "He does have some money, but he lacks connections. Good medical resources can't be obtained just with cash."
Dao Wen scoffed, "You’re quite clever."
After thinking it over, Tong Le agreed, "Alright, I’ll help you find one, but you must promise to cooperate with the doctor and with us."
Lan Qingqing nodded vigorously, her expression sincere.
After Lan Qingqing left, Dao Wen approached Tong Le with confusion. "Why are you helping her find a doctor? Treating her? She deserves what happened for losing an eye; we should just watch the drama unfold."
Tong Le opened her phone and began composing a message to Zong Zeyu while explaining, "I will find a good medical team for Lan Qingqing because I believe that a skilled doctor might diagnose her condition as being caused by injections or cosmetic procedures that led to various health issues. If the doctor can provide relevant diagnostic proof, it would serve as direct evidence against Ying Rong Xiao and Ke Jie. Besides, keeping her around might serve other purposes; although my grievances with her are mostly settled, there are still unresolved matters between her and Wu Youyou. She needs to make amends for the harm she caused Wu Youyou."
Dao Wen remarked, "Someone like Lan Qingqing won’t repent unless she's in dire straits."
Tong Le replied, "Then we’ll pressure her into admitting her mistakes. I don’t care if she’s genuinely remorseful; she needs to give Wu Youyou an explanation and provide one for the police as well."
Tong Le recalled that Ke Jie’s logistics company was being supported by Ying Rong Xiao. "I think we should investigate this logistics company; perhaps we can uncover something useful."
Dao Wen considered this and nodded in agreement; it was indeed a potential breakthrough.
Tong Le took out her phone and scrolled through WeChat until she found Wu Youyou’s contact. She made a voice call just as Wu Youyou was in the studio discussing the renovation layout with the designer.
Wu Youyou answered the phone, excitement evident in her voice. "Tong Le Jie, what’s up?"
Tong Le replied, "I remember you mentioned you have a batch of paintings that need to be transported, right?"
Wu Youyou responded, "Yes, I've been in touch with a shipping company these past few days. It's over two thousand kilometers, so I need to find a reliable company that also offers good value for money."
Tong Le said, "Could you do me a favor? I’d like to designate a shipping company to transport those paintings you bought."
Wu Youyou asked, "Is it your friend's company?"
Tong Le clarified, "No, it's Ke Jie's company. I want to investigate some matters."
After discussing for over ten minutes on the phone, Tong Le hung up. Just then, his secretary entered the room and handed him an invitation. "Tong Manager, this is the invitation to the Charity Foundation event tonight at seven."
Tong Le turned to Dao Wen and asked, "Do you want to join? I'll represent Zong Zeyu, and you can represent Zong Jin."
