She didn't feel any sympathy for Peng Shiyi. A brainless person like her who dared to openly challenge Lu Qianzhou was just asking for trouble.
"Peng Shiyi is in a bad mental state now. In fact, maybe you can take good advantage of this opportunity. While avenging Peng Shiyi, you can also fulfill your own wish," Yuan Qiuping's voice sounded ethereal, like the alluring song of a siren.
These words made Jiang Yue's eyelids twitch.
"Sister Ping, what do you mean by that?"
Although she didn't like Cheng Yanxia, and could even be said to hate her to the core, she was Jiang Yue. She had her own pride and integrity deep in her bones and simply disdained using those underhanded tricks behind people's backs.
"Secretly find Peng Shiyi. If you can get her to get rid of Cheng Yanxia, you won't have to worry anymore." As if seeing her hesitation, Yuan Qiuping comforted her, "If you're afraid of being implicated, I can do this for you."
"Sister Ping, you know I hate these underhanded tricks the most in my life," Jiang Yue frowned and said seriously.
She didn't like this. She had always been high - minded and disdained to associate with those who used dirty tricks. If she did this, what was the difference between her and those people?
Yuan Qiuping was unhurried, "Xiaoyue, you're very smart, but your only shortcoming is that you're too soft - hearted. You're kind to Cheng Yanxia, but when she hurt you and President Lu, she never showed any mercy. I've already said that if you can't bring yourself to do it, I can handle this for you, so this matter will have nothing to do with you."
Jiang Yue struggled fiercely in her heart and simply sat up straight, "You've already let me hear this, and even made me tacitly agree. How can you say it has nothing to do with me?"
She was so conflicted that she just couldn't get over that hurdle in her heart.
Yuan Qiuping looked at her, looking extremely disappointed.
"Xiaoyue, if you still want to regain your dignity and be with President Lu, it's time to put down your arrogance now."
Yuan Qiuping also motioned for the staff to stop what they were doing, sat up, and looked into Jiang Yue's eyes.
Jiang Yue smiled bitterly, "If I put down my arrogance, will he like me?"
"How do you know if you don't try?" There was a glint in Yuan Qiuping's eyes. "He has always been reluctant to get married because he still holds out the last hope for Cheng Yanxia. If she's gone, then no matter who he's with, it will be a compromise. As long as you're willing to be this compromise for the time being, one day he will surely be touched by you."
Yuan Qiuping spoke very convincingly.
She knew Jiang Yue's personality very well and could guess what was on her mind. Jiang Yue thought she was different from others, seemingly always noble and clean, but in essence, she was no different from others. She had a very dark side in her heart, and she just didn't want to dirty her own hands.
Jiang Yue frowned tightly, "But I'm afraid he'll find out, and I'm also afraid that I'll get more and more involved."
Yuan Qiuping reached out and patted her on the shoulder, "Don't be afraid with me here. I guarantee that Lu Qianzhou won't trace this back to you. Don't think about it anymore. Don't worry about anything. Sister will do this for you. You just need to wait for the result."
Jiang Yue was extremely touched that Yuan Qiuping was willing to go so far for her. Her eyes sparkled like they had caught the bright starlight. She wanted to say something touching to Yuan Qiuping, but the words got stuck in her throat.
On second thought, if she could really get rid of Cheng Yanxia without getting involved at all, and others could only trace it back to Peng Shiyi, in fact, the biggest beneficiary would be herself.
This time, she had to take a good gamble for what she had been longing for all her life.
...
I don't know if it was because of Yanxia's words about falling in love and getting married if he kept pestering her, but in the following days, Lu Qianzhou really didn't pester her anymore.
However, the situation was still unpredictable. It seemed that there was some mastermind behind the scenes pushing her forward.
For example, she would receive some inexplicable express deliveries. The sender knew her name, phone number, and even her personal address. All those express deliveries were sent to the Cheng family's old house.
The information in the express deliveries was very fragmented. Sometimes there were photos of Cheng Hua going in and out of some entertainment venues in the past, sometimes photos of Lu Qianzhou's father, and also photos of Wang Keding. There were even photos of the two of them together, as well as photos of a few people who looked very powerful but she didn't recognize.
Yanxia looked at those photos carefully for a long time and found that the time they went in and out of those entertainment venues was not much different. It was very likely that they went in and out on the same day one after another. So what did this mean? It meant that Cheng Hua, Lu Qianzhou's father, and Wang Keding had known each other a long time ago and even had a closer relationship than she had imagined.
The last express delivery she received was a photo of something like a diary. The content inside seemed to be written by a woman. It was probably about a great emotional trauma she had encountered in her life. She wrote a few sentences.
"So it turns out that I've never really belonged to myself. Completely giving my body and soul to him means facing eternal damnation and never being able to be reborn."
For some reason, seeing these words, Yanxia's heart inexplicably trembled.
In addition to the diary photo, there were also two single - photos of Fang Jiangyi and Lan Mengfan. However, the photos had been specially processed, looking a bit yellowed and old - fashioned, with a spooky and empty feeling, which was really scary.
What did it mean...
Who on earth would send such express deliveries, and what was the meaning of putting the photos of Fang Jiangyi and Lan Mengfan in them? Was it a hint that they were in danger, or did they have something to do with the information in the recently received express deliveries, or was it making her choose one of them?
Yanxia secretly had someone check the information of the several men in the photos and the venues where the people in the photos had been.
Since Cheng Hua was in the photos, did it mean that the thing this mysterious person wanted to mention was related to the secret that Lu Qianzhou had been reluctant to tell her before?
What on earth was Cheng Hua hiding from her?
She gradually realized that her every move had always been under someone's surveillance. Someone was manipulating everything behind the scenes, and she, Lu Qianzhou, Fang Jiangyi and others were all in the game, unknowingly being covered by a huge net.
Under the premise of not being sure about anything, she became even more vigilant. She specifically told Fang Jiangyi to pay extra attention to his safety and added more people to protect Lan Mengfan's safety, absolutely not allowing the thing of her being taken away by others to happen again.
Finally, she received a response from Long Tao, asking her to meet in a few days to discuss in detail the matters related to the suppliers and cooperation.
Yanxia's guess was right. Even though Lu Qianzhou was in the middle, because Long Tao was dissatisfied with Lu Qianzhou's attitude of always suppressing him in cooperation, he would definitely find a way to deflate his ego, and Yanxia was a good choice.
Moreover, she had connections and could provide Long Tao with clues from the police. Generally speaking, the benefits outweighed the disadvantages. Why not do it?
On the other hand, Yuan Qiuping's plan had already been in operation.
After several days of continuous secret filming, she felt that the timing was almost right. She then had someone organize these photos into an album and send them out as an express delivery from Shengshi Company, specifically asking for Peng Shiyi to sign for it, and it must be delivered to her personally.
