Chapter 890: The Tong Siblings’ Conspiracy
Editor: Henyee Translations
His reputation in the capital’s elite circles was far from stellar. Known as a notorious playboy, he was often referred to as a scumbag in private.
Younger Sister Gu, on the other hand, was a pure and innocent figure. If she were to become entangled in a scandal with him, and his reputation suffered, Young Master Xiao and Miss Gu would undoubtedly hold him accountable.
Moreover, Sister Gu’s boyfriend was someone to be reckoned with.
Chu Ying raised her eyebrows and scrutinized Gu Yang with interest. “Is she Young Master Xiao’s mysterious girlfriend?”
Xiao Yize had announced his relationship on WeChat Moments some time ago, which had quickly become a topic of curiosity in the capital’s wealthy circles.
While many speculated that Xiao Yize’s secretive girlfriend was Ye Qingzi, Chu Ying wasn’t convinced. She believed Xiao Yize had better taste.
The girl before her, with her fair and delicate beauty, resembled a little fairy and was far more impressive than Ye Qingzi.
Lin Ran shook his head. “No. She’s the real sister of Young Master Xiao’s girlfriend.”
Miss Gu’s real sister.
Chu Ying’s curiosity about Xiao Yize’s mysterious girlfriend only intensified. If the younger sister was this beautiful, she reasoned that the elder sister must be equally impressive.
Meanwhile, Lin Ran, Chu Ying, and the others escorted the Tong family’s driver to the police station for interrogation. Surveillance footage and car records clearly documented the driver’s attempt to murder Gu Yang, leaving no room for doubt.
Gu Yang had already given the driver a psychological suggestion, ensuring he would confess during the police interrogation. This saved Lin Ran and his team considerable time.
After learning about the incident, Feng Jue rushed to the bridge to pick up Gu Yang.
Although he knew that with Gu Yang’s hypnotic abilities, ordinary people couldn’t harm her, he was still anxious for her safety.
As soon as he arrived, he hurried out of the car and asked, “Sister, are you alright?”
Gu Yang shook her head. “I’m fine.”
The cold outside was biting, so Feng Jue opened the passenger seat door to shield her from the snowstorm.
“Where are we heading now?” he asked.
“To the Tong family,” Gu Yang replied.
Feng Jue frowned. “We’re still going to the Tong Family?”
The driver who had attempted to murder Gu Yang was indeed sent by the Tong family.
While waiting by the bridge for the police to arrive, Gu Yang had used her hypnosis skills to interrogate the driver. It was revealed that Tong Jiayin was behind the plot. However, Tong Sinian had also played a role in orchestrating the attack.
Tong Jiayin’s initial plan was not to kill Gu Yang but to have her kidnapped and abandoned in a remote mountain village to make her disappear from the capital.
However, Tong Sinian’s instructions to the driver were much more sinister: he was to stage a crash on the bridge and cause Gu Yang to fall into the river, ensuring she drowned in the icy waters.
Gu Yang was puzzled by the sudden aggression from the Tong siblings. Although there had been some conflicts, they hadn’t escalated to the point of wishing her death.
Moreover, Tong Rao, who was in need of Gu Yang’s hypnotic skills, seemed unaware of this scheme. If Tong Rao had known, she would certainly have taken action against her own children.
Gu Yang sensed that there was more to this situation than met the eye. Deep in thought, she instructed, “Have Madam Tong Rao take care of her daughter. Also, increase the compensation claim and include a demand for damages for emotional distress.”
“We need to speak with Family Head Tong,” Feng Jue said with a frosty edge in his voice.
If the Tong family attempted to cover up Tong Jiayin’s crime against his sister, he wouldn’t hesitate to ally with Gu Jin and others to remove the Tong family from their standing among the Eight Great Clans in the capital.
At the Tong Family estate, Tong Jiayin paced restlessly within the manor, anxiously awaiting news from the driver. Her unease was palpable.
She had arranged for the driver through her brother, who advised that eliminating Gu Yang completely would be the best way to avoid future complications.
Despite this, Tong Jiayin was conflicted; she couldn’t bring herself to accept Gu Yang’s death. Thus, she had instructed the driver to kidnap Gu Yang and take her to a remote mountain village, where she could be left in isolation. As long as Gu Yang vanished from the capital, it would be acceptable to her.
