Wu Youyou hesitantly took out her phone and searched for the video that the Renovation Worker had secretly recorded. After watching several clips, Lan Qingqing repeatedly replayed them, her tension gradually easing into relief and gratitude.
Lan Qingqing was ecstatic; she finally had evidence! The recording captured the moment, but at the time, she hadn’t known the names of the doctor and nurses who performed her surgery, nor their actual workplaces. They had left immediately after the operation, as if they were just passing through. When she reported it to the police, Du Guangwei adamantly denied any wrongdoing, claiming there was no surveillance in the facility. Under the influence of anesthesia, she couldn’t clearly remember their faces, and without any proof, the police were unable to assist her. But now, she had solid evidence! This was undeniable proof! She could finally bring Du Guangwei to justice! She had waited for this day!
Standing at the entrance of the facility, Lan Qingqing laughed heartily.
Wu Youyou stared in disbelief. Although she had provided the evidence and helped Lan Qingqing, assisting in taking down a criminal like Du Guangwei felt monumental.
Wu Youyou called the police for help. Within a short time, they identified the real identities of the doctor and nurses from the video; they were doctors from a major hospital who were clearly moonlighting for extra cash. The police could have easily apprehended Du Guangwei, but when they arrived at his location, they discovered he had already fled and hadn’t been seen at the facility for two days.
After everything that had happened, Wu Youyou stood outside by the roadside and called Tong Le.
When the call connected, she recounted the events of that day.
Tong Le’s tone was slightly uncertain; Du Guangwei’s escape implied that Hua Rongxiao had planned this all along. “Du Guangwei is Hua Rongxiao’s man. I can’t shake the feeling that Hua Rongxiao is also planning to run.”
Wu Youyou quickly suggested, “We need to find a way to detain her! Or we can have Lan Qingqing confront her! If both of them cause a scene at the police station, let’s see how Hua Rongxiao can escape!”
Tong Le pondered for a moment before responding, “Let me think it over. Tomorrow is Wan Zhang’s funeral. Hua Rongxiao intends to make it a grand affair to prove her loyalty to Wan Zhang and regain her lost reputation online. Zong Group is on the guest list as well; both Zong Zeyu and I will be attending. I’ll find a way to keep her detained—even if I can’t watch her every move, I’ll ensure she stays within the country.”
Wu Youyou understood what Tong Le meant: “So you’re saying Hua Rongxiao has already made plans to flee abroad? Does that mean Du Guangwei has already been sent out of the country by Hua Rongxiao?”
Tong Le asked, “The police haven’t tracked down Du Guangwei’s whereabouts yet. Have you heard any other leads?”
Wu Youyou replied, “No, he just seems to have vanished into thin air.”
Tong Le said thoughtfully, “Given Hua Rongxiao’s ruthless nature, it’s hard to say whether Du Guangwei has actually left the country; he might have already been dealt with.”
Wu Youyou gasped in shock. “I’m going to have nightmares again tonight.”
Tong Le cautioned her, “Stay out of this matter and head back to your studio.”
Wu Youyou quickly replied, “Got it! I won’t get involved anymore.”
Meanwhile, Hua Rongxiao was overwhelmed with preparations for tomorrow's funeral. Every detail required her personal attention, adding to her stress. Just then, she learned that that wretched Lan Qingqing had gone to cause trouble at Du Guangwei’s facility!
As she answered a call from one of her subordinates reporting on the situation, Hua Rongxiao suppressed her anger. She thought bitterly that she should have let Lan Qingqing die on the operating table instead of sparing her life! Her mercy had allowed this woman to come back and bite her!
Her subordinate reassured her, “Hua Jie, fortunately you planned ahead and got Du Guangwei out of there quickly; he fled two days ago without leaving any trace for the police.”
Hua Rongxiao furrowed her brow. Who had tipped him off? She hadn't given him a heads-up to run.
Her subordinate looked confused. "Where did Hua Jie and Du Guangwei go?"
At that moment, Hua Rongxiao's phone buzzed with another incoming call. She glanced at the number and felt a chill run down her spine. "I have to hang up!" she quickly said.
After ending the call with her subordinate, Hua Rongxiao took a deep breath and answered the new call.
The line was eerily quiet. "Boss, I—"
Hua Rongxiao knew she was in deep trouble. She had made one mistake after another, and now she was being backstabbed by those around her. The logistics company had suddenly submitted evidence against Jin Zi Meng, and the Cosmetic Surgery Institution was on the verge of collapse due to Lan Qingqing's relentless attacks.
It seemed her secrets hidden in the shadows were about to be exposed, and she herself was in grave danger.
On the other end of the line was her boss, the one person she relied on for her success. She feared no one but this individual; with just one word from them, her life could be over.
Hua Rongxiao's heart raced as she acknowledged her mistakes. "I'm sorry, Boss. It's my fault for not handling things properly."
Finally, the voice on the other end spoke, low and menacing. "Du Guangwei has already been dealt with. A couple of days ago, he sensed something was off on your end and started planning to escape. I had someone take care of him on his way to the airport."
Hua Rongxiao swallowed hard, feeling both relieved and anxious. "Thank you, Boss. I was careless this time."
The voice turned harsh. "You’ve messed things up to this extent; do you want to end up like Du Guangwei? If you continue to let your personal matters disrupt the bigger picture, you might as well end it yourself! Don’t make me do it for you!"
Hua Rongxiao quickly apologized again. "I’m sorry, Boss! I’ll handle everything! I have a plan—once this situation is resolved, I’ll leave the country immediately! Tomorrow is Wan Zhang's funeral; on the surface, it’s just a funeral, but I’m actually meeting with my contact there to finalize a big deal. Once the funeral is over, I’ll leave without a hitch! I won’t ruin your plans!"
The voice warned her sternly, "I’m giving you a deadline: by the day after tomorrow. If you can’t manage to leave before nightfall then, you’d better take care of yourself—don’t make me worry about it."
Hua Rongxiao replied earnestly, "Understood! I won’t let you down again!"
