Li Lan turned around and saw Su Yang holding a small ear stud in his hand. She walked over with a smile, then complained, “Why didn’t you tell me if you found it? You scared me. This ear stud costs thousands. Did you find the earplug? Couldn’t find it?”
As she spoke, she reached for the ear stud, but Su Yang quickly clenched his fist, holding the ear stud in his hand. He looked steadily at Li Lan.
Having followed Gu Chen for so many years, Su Yang had encountered numerous people, but he couldn’t detect any abnormality on Li Lan’s face. It seemed like she was genuinely happy to have the ear stud back.
“Oh, stop teasing me. Give it to me quickly. I’ll find an earplug when I go back. I can’t afford to lose it again.” Li Lan sighed in relief. Su Yang came back alone to find her, without informing others about it. It seemed like just suspicion. As long as the ear stud wasn’t in his hand, there was no evidence.
But Su Yang, with an expressionless face, said, “I found this ear stud in the basement of Gu’s residence.’
Li Lan reacted quickly, asking directly, “Gu’s residence has a basement? The villa is so big, I didn’t notice. Could it be that it fell on the ground, and the ear stud rolled into the basement?”
Her words had no loopholes, and her reactions were all normal. However, it didn’t prove her innocence.
Su Yang wanted to continue questioning, but Li Lan suddenly widened her eyes and said unhappily, “It must be that bodyguard. He saw I didn’t want to leave and gave me a push. I wasn’t stable at the time, and I might have bumped into him. Maybe it got hooked onto his clothes at that moment. Fortunately, you found it. Otherwise, I would have been heartbroken.
Her explanation seemed flawless, and the incident she mentioned did happen. She knew there were surveillance cameras around Gu’s residence, so checking the footage wouldn’t be a problem.
This explanation she came up with was almost seamless, and there was no one to prove she had been to the basement of Gu’s residence, except for the injury on her wrist.
But she had already lowered the sleeves of her clothes to cover the bruise, and her shirt sleeves perfectly concealed any flaws.
Upon hearing her words, Su Yang visibly relaxed. Since she dared to say this, there shouldn’t be any problem checking. Besides, he knew that the bodyguard who escorted Li Lan out had collapsed in the basement where A Li was held. Maybe he brought the ear stud to the basement.
“Okay, give it to me quickly. Such a small thing, if you lose it again, I will be very sad.” Pouting, Li Lan extended her hand, coquettishly saying.
Su Yang then handed the ear stud to her. “I lost it? This time, it was you who lost it. But even if it’s lost, I’ll buy you another one if you like.”
Li Lan happily took the ear stud and examined it closely. As she put away the ear stud, she also took off the other one. “I’ll put both of these ear studs away. Wearing just one doesn’t look good. I’ll go find a doctor to check your wound.”
She walked to the blind spot of the surveillance camera at the corner, where there was a trash bin for medical waste. Li Lan directly threw both ear studs into it.
When she inspected the ear stud earlier, she noticed a bit of blood on it. Su Yang was in a hurry at the time, so he didn’t examine it closely. If Su Yang could find her ear stud, Song Fan might have seen it during the fight. She couldn’t possibly keep such evidence.
After discarding the ear studs, she felt relieved. Surely, no one would search here. Then she went to find a doctor.
Su Yang was indeed exhausted. He was already weakened from the gunshot wound and excessive blood loss. After the doctor checked his wound and confirmed everything was fine, he briefly informed Song Fan that he had returned to the hospital. He didn’t mention finding the ear stud in the basement. Song Fan assumed he couldn’t hold on any longer, just advising him to rest well. Su Yang then fell into a deep sleep.
Upon taking advantage of the distraction, Li Lan took out a prepared sedative and injected it into the medicine bottle. She didn’t want Su Yang’s life but needed him to sleep so she could report in the room. Besides, it was currently the safest place.
After another five minutes, she confirmed that Su Yang had completely fallen asleep. She then took out her phone and dialed a number. “Sir, I’m very sorry.
Things went wrong, and our people can no longer be used.”
There was some noise on the other end of the phone, and a woman’s voice could be heard. “Charlie, look. The night view here is beautiful! It’s like the entire city is at my feet!”
“It is indeed beautiful.” The man’s voice was gentle, and then he said to the woman, “Xiao Xia, I have some business. I’ll answer a call first..
