She bit her lower lip, and her eyes fixed on the phone screen turned cold and fierce. "You got the surveillance footage?"
Rong Lan propped her chin and nodded. "Yeah, and I've already asked a professional to check their identities. We should get their detailed information soon. Then I'll go with you to teach them a lesson!"
Bai Rongran looked at Rong Lan. With Chu Hengyuan sitting opposite, she couldn't even cry. She had to hold back the tears welling up in her eyes, and her voice trembled slightly as she replied, "Okay!"
Rong Lan pretended not to notice Bai Rongran's vulnerability and casually brushed the back of her hand. "Little sister Rongran can think about how you want them to suffer first."
As she said the second half of the sentence, the little fox revealed a bit of her true nature, and her tone carried a hint of bloodthirsty cruelty.
"Die? I don't want them to die." Bai Rongran sneered. "Death is a kind of relief in some cases. I want them to live in agony."
"That's easy!" Rong Lan squinted her eyes, and for a moment, her pupils turned a terrifying crimson. "Cutting off their hands and feet, or digging out their stomachs and kidneys. These aren't difficult."
Chu Hengyuan, who had been looking down at his phone, heard their whispering getting more and more outrageous. He couldn't help but look up and glance at his little girl. Then he saw her fox ears standing straight up.
He coughed lightly, pushed his phone in front of Rong Lan, and tapped the table with his finger. "Lanlan, take a look at the chat records in the group I opened for you. It's quite interesting."
"Eh?" Rong Lan's aura suddenly changed. She swiped the phone screen, and the whole fox was filled with curious anticipation. "Is there something fun?"
Two minutes later, Rong Lan returned the phone to Chu Hengyuan. She propped her chin and looked at her dear sister Rongran. "You posted those photos I sent you?"
In the chat records that Chu Hengyuan showed her, the people in the group were chatting vigorously. Messages were scrolling up several times a second. Summarized, their chat content was actually just four words - Chu Chuan checking into a hotel.
She even saw someone post the photos she sent to Bai Rongran, and they had in - depth analysis of the identities of the two people in the photos.
Bai Rongran readily admitted. "Yes. It seems the news has spread quickly."
Rong Lan twitched the corner of her mouth. She thought Bai Rongran would at least wait until they returned to the country before taking action. She never expected... "I'm impressed!"
Chu Hengyuan was enjoying the gossip. "These photos were all collected by Lanlan? Interesting."
So far, he had seen a total of three photos. One was the back view of Chu Chuan and a middle - aged woman walking side by side into the hotel entrance. Another was the back view of them walking into the hotel room one after the other. And - from the angle of the hotel window, the two were hugging on the sofa. That was definitely not a normal hug between an elder and a junior.
Just the three photos he saw were enough to get Chu Chuan suspended. After all, having a person of bad character in the high - level of the Chu Group would affect the entire group.
"Right, right! These are first - hand materials I got! Isn't it interesting!" Rong Lan smiled with her eyes bent. The photos were already spreading in the circle. She could already imagine that Chu Chuan's situation wouldn't be good now. "Rongran, you didn't drag me into this when spreading this news, did you?"
Bai Rongran nodded. "Of course not." She could ruin Rong Lan's reputation within just one month with her own means. With these photos, it wasn't difficult for her to spread the photos and keep herself out of it. After all, Chu Chuan was just an outsider, not comparable to Rong Lan, the young lady who had grown up in the circle.
Although she thought that given enough time, Chu Chuan could find out that the news spread from her, it was highly unlikely that he could trace it back to Rong Lan.
"The elders in the circle must have had their fill of the gossip. Mom sent me a message asking if I have time to go back to the Chu family tomorrow. She said Dad was so angry about those photos that he couldn't eat well at dinner and had to take several blood - pressure pills." Chu Hengyuan gloated, and his smile was hard to hide.
It was a pity that he really couldn't go back. Otherwise, he would like to go back and see the chaos in the Chu family.
Bai Rongran gave Chu Hengyuan a strange look. Not to mention anything else, as a member of the Chu family, was it really okay for Chu Hengyuan to be smiling so happily? Chu Chuan was working in the Chu Group now. If his reputation was damaged, it would affect the entire group.
Rong Lan was curious. "Is the identity of the woman who was messing around with Chu Chuan very special?" She didn't look too carefully at the details in the group chat. She only noticed the general information and forgot to study in detail their discussion about the woman's identity.
"Not really special." Chu Hengyuan adjusted the gold - rimmed glasses on his nose. "She has a family background similar to the Chu family. I've met that - aunt several times. Every time she takes a young and good - looking boy to the banquet. People in the circle all know that she likes to mess around with young boys. If it weren't for Chu Chuan's title of the illegitimate son of the head of the Chu family, this wouldn't even be considered gossip."
Just as he finished speaking, the hotel waiter pushed a cart to their table. The three of them tacitly paused their conversation.
There were six or seven plates on the cart. In the end, all these plates were placed on their table.
Bai Rongran silently moved the salad she ordered in front of her. She couldn't bear to look at the other dishes they ordered. It was so late at night, and they ordered big lobsters and hairy crabs. Weren't they afraid of getting fat after eating?
After the waiter served the dishes and left, Chu Hengyuan picked up the chopsticks and put a piece of chicken into his little girl's bowl. He couldn't help but sigh. "No wonder the aunt's company and the Chu Group have maintained a good cooperative relationship in the past year."
Come to think of it, Chu Chuan really made quite a sacrifice for the Chu Group.
Bai Rongran: "..." Suddenly she felt nauseous.
She picked up the water cup and took a sip of warm water. She patted her chest to suppress the nausea surging up. "Why was he so bold? Walking side by side into the hotel with someone. Wasn't he afraid of being photographed?"
Chu Hengyuan raised his eyebrows. "Why not? No one would be bored enough to follow Chu Chuan, or a person who always likes to check into hotels with young boys. They were just relying on the fact that no one was paying attention."
Rong · bored · Lan blinked her innocent eyes. "But now there is someone."
Looking at Rong Lan's cute appearance with her cheeks puffed up while eating, Chu Hengyuan smiled. "Yes, Chu Chuan probably never expected that."
Bai Rongran fell silent.
After eating quietly for a while, Chu Hengyuan suddenly said, "Lanlan, look at your phone. I sent you a file. It was sent to me by Seth."
