Wen downed the drink in her cup and let out a long sigh, suddenly feeling a pang of regret. Was I too forward just now? I'm feeling a bit embarrassed about it.
Tong Le quickly shook his head and waved his hands. "No need to be embarrassed! The one who should be embarrassed is Zong Jin. He couldn't even muster the courage to speak for himself and had to rely on his aunt to step in for him. He must be feeling so conflicted right now!"
Wen decided to let it go. Whatever regrets she had, words once spoken were like water spilled; there was no turning back. This was also an opportunity for her to try something new.
Tong Le admired Wen's character, especially this aspect of her—her straightforwardness and carefree attitude.
Once the tricky matter was settled, Tong Le got down to business. "I wanted to talk to you about another issue related to Wu Youyou."
Wen responded, "Go ahead."
Tong Le's expression turned serious. "Wu Youyou mentioned that on the day of the incident, Lan Qingqing was also at the nightclub. She suspects that Lan Qingqing might have poisoned her drink, but so far, there’s no evidence from any side to support this claim."
Wen thought for a moment. "How can I help you?"
Tong Le replied, "You've been in the bar industry for so many years and have connections in this circle. Maybe you could help find out if there are any witnesses. It's understandable that the police haven't found any leads; drugging someone is an extremely sensitive matter. Even if someone did see something, they might hesitate to come forward if they have similar pasts themselves. Many people choose not to provide information just to avoid getting involved."
Wen nodded in agreement. "That's true, especially when it comes to drug dealers. There are only a few people who actually handle drugs in this circle. Those dealers are very cunning; they keep detailed records of every sale—who bought what and when—just to protect themselves from being betrayed later on. In fact, it's not hard to trace this kind of thing; the challenge lies in getting those involved to testify."
Tong Le looked anxious. "So can you still help investigate? Wouldn't that put you at risk?"
Wen shrugged. "Consider it helping Zong Jin out. No, he might really end up spending his life with Wu Youyou."
At that moment, Tong Le's phone rang; it was Hou Yi.
Reluctantly, Tong Le answered the call. On the other end, Hou Yi spoke with a hint of uncertainty in his voice. "Where are you? I came by the office looking for you but found no one."
Tong Le asked, "What do you need me for?"
Hou Yi replied, "You said I share some responsibility regarding Wu Youyou's situation, right? I bought her some consolation gifts. Can you let me know when you're free to deliver them?"
Tong Le found it odd that Hou Yi would lower himself like this and even offer gifts.
"You want to apologize? Just go see Wu Youyou yourself," she suggested.
Hou Yi countered, "I can't get through to her on the phone. Besides, I'm just trying to give you an explanation."
Tong Le was puzzled. "What explanation? You should be giving Wu Youyou an explanation."
Hou Yi continued, "Just connect us so I can meet her; maybe after talking with her, I can help her out."
Suddenly, Tong Le had a lightbulb moment; she had completely forgotten about Hou Yi being part of the nightlife scene herself. While she had been thinking about Wen's extensive connections due to her past in this world, Hou Yi was truly a veteran when it came to partying!
If she let Hou Yi assist with the investigation, he would likely be more efficient than Wen could be.
Tong Le said, "Wait for me at your company, I'm heading back now."
Suddenly, Tong Le remembered, "Lan Qingqing isn't by your side, right?"
Hou Yi casually replied, "I know you suspect Lan Qingqing; I do too."
Meanwhile, at the e-commerce company, Lan Qingqing was secretly applying makeup. She hadn't yet gotten the hang of her new job, and the past few days had been quite leisurely for her.
She thought to herself that she must get Mo Kai Liang to take her to a high-end restaurant tonight, the kind that was the most expensive and trendy!
At that moment, her phone buzzed with a message from Hua Yan Medical Aesthetics. The message indicated that her appointment for rhinoplasty had been confirmed, with the director personally overseeing the procedure!
Lan Qingqing was thrilled. She quickly sent a message to Mo Kai Liang: "Darling, can I use your money to get rhinoplasty? I've been waiting for this appointment for so long!"
