“Do you still want this pendant?” Qiao w.a.n.gchuan held out the gourd pendant in his hand to Su Yutan when he came out of the flounder restaurant, and asked her with a smile.
“Thank you very much. It helped me a lot.” Su Yutan smiled sincerely. “But now that my problem has been solved, it should be returned to you.”
The problem was, Qiao w.a.n.gchuan could remotely activate the microphone in this pendant.
Carrying it was equivalent to having an eavesdropper with you. After getting out of danger of being abducted, this was actually a bit scary.
She pressed her belly. “I will keep the locator just in case.”
Although Qiao w.a.n.gchuan kept track of her at all times, he also respected her privacy. But she was a little insecure after being frightened by this incident, preferring to sacrifice some privacy for a bit of psychological comfort.
Qiao w.a.n.gchuan was in a good mood. He kept the pendant in the pocket of his uniform and asked her again, “What"s inscribed on your ring?”
Su Yutan glanced at him, “Did you not see it just now?”
“I saw only a few words: Don"t be indifferent.” Qiao w.a.n.gchuan admitted frankly.
Su Yutan thought about it, took off the ring, and handed it to him. “Look at it for yourself.”
Qiao w.a.n.gchuan politely took the ring and said softly, “No…”
He was silent for a while, and returned the ring to Su Yutan, asking casually, “Why are these words engraved?”
Su Yutan wore the ring back without answering.
Qiao w.a.n.gchuan looked at her with a little apology. “If you don"t want to say it, don"t tell me. I"m just curious, I didn"t mean to spy on your privacy.”
Su Yutan smiled, and replied with a self-deprecating tone, “It"s not that I don"t want to tell you, but I don"t know where to start. I"m like you, I don"t like to talk about my personal affairs…”
“Then… If there is a chance in the future, please tell me.” Qiao w.a.n.gchuan added with regret, “Maybe you haven"t fully trusted me yet.”
Speaking of trust, Su Yutan remembered the conversation they had at her house.
There was a sudden urge in her heart. “Let"s do this! I think your method is good. When we meet next time, you can ask me questions and I"ll answer. Seeing that you can help and protect me, I can answer a few questions. “
The smile on Qiao w.a.n.gchuan"s face bloomed. “When are we going to meet again? It"s better to do it now than to choose another day. Why not go for a cup of coffee and have dinner together after?”
Su Yutan shook her head, “No, I still have something to do.”
There was one thing left to do, she must talk to Avril as soon as possible.
After returning home, Su Yutan called Avril and asked her to come at her place in the evening for a meal.
Avril was extremely surprised. “Are you already discharged from the hospital? Great! You don"t know how abominable Lu Xiaozhi was! For so long, he refused to let us visit you. Sister Shui even cried in his office, and he did not compromise…”
She was working overtime in the office. After receiving the call, she packed up and left, while complaining to Su Yutan about the evil behavior of Lu Xiaozhi.
When she got out, her tone had changed. “A few days later, I suddenly realized that something was not right. So I persuaded Sister Shui to stop bothering you and Brother Lu. Tell me honestly, are you guys hiding something from us?”
Su Yutan laughed, “There was something I did hide from you two. Come to my house alone first, I will tell you then.”
“Alone?” Avril was a little puzzled. “Won"t you also tell Sister Shui? She"s been worried these past months.”
“About Sister Shui, I will contact her later. I have something important to tell you.”
“All right!” Avril agreed.
After hanging up the phone, Su Yutan took a bath and changed into clean and refreshing clothes.
When she came out of her room, Avril also arrived.
Avril looked at her from head to toes, and held her tightly in her arms. “You"re fine!”
Su Yutan smiled slightly, but she felt like a little heavy koala was hugging her.
She took Avril to the living room on the second floor, where the atmosphere was a little warmer.
Milo brought tea, sugar and milk to their side.
Avril took a sip of black tea, and asked. “Tell me! What do you have to hide from us?”
Su Yutan sighed, “Brother Lu was compelled to do that, because he signed a confidentiality agreement with the police.”
“Signed a confidentiality agreement with the police?” Avril was startled, her expression slumped. “What were you involved in?”
Su Yutan told her about Yue Yueming coming to her door and told her that she was being targeted by traffickers. She also added that she was abducted and rescued. She skipped the details of the one instructing them: Cui Linlin.
“My G.o.d, you have faced such a thing. I didn"t even know it at all!” Avril was extremely shocked. “Are you okay now? Did it affect your condition?”
“Relax! I"m fine, otherwise Brother Lu won"t allow me to be discharged.”
“I just completed a case. I"ve been dizzy over the past two days and haven"t followed the news these days.” Avril was very annoyed.
Su Yutan couldn"t help laughing. “The police are still blocking the news and the news reports are unclear. Even if you watch the news, you will know about it and contact me.”
“Have you found the person behind it?” Avril asked eagerly.
Su Yutan nodded, “I found the perpetrator.”
She took a deep breath and said to Avril, “That"s exactly what I"m going to tell you. It"s not a simple stalking by a pervert, it was… Cui Linlin."
“Cui Linlin?” Avril looked at her, and the blood on her face faded.
Although she didn"t have the heart to tell her, Su Yutan told her the words of the fat man.
Then she said, “Avril, the incident you experienced two years ago may not be bad luck, nor a revenge from some acquaintance of your client, but Cui Linlin directed it all.”
Cui Linlin had been missing for three years when Avril had an accident two years ago.
Everyone thought that Cui Linlin had taken Arnold away, and Cui Linlin was not listed as his guardian. She was still the suspect after all.
