Unbridled, Depraved

Shen Qianhe had more or less heard something about Xie Jincheng's mother from Ye Xiangan.

Her name is Zhong Ke. She started her internship at Yihai right after graduating from university, working as an assistant to a designer.

She was the campus beauty of Beijing University, cheerful, generous, lively and lovely. After working for a few days, she had a large number of suitors, and Mr. Xie was one of them.

Despite the age difference of nearly 30 years, they still entered the marriage hall under the fierce offensive of Mr. Xie.

In the second year after their marriage, Zhong Ke gave birth to Mr. Xie's sixth child. Unfortunately, the child was born with congenital deficiencies and died before 100 days old. Zhong Ke was heartbroken and could not let it go for a long time.

In order to make his beloved wife smile again, Mr. Xie spent a huge amount of money and used various means to win bids for several important design projects for her. He also expanded the Xie family's original ten houses to eighteen.

The designs of all the new houses were created by Zhong Ke.

As time went by, Zhong Ke gradually found his own life value in his work and slowly walked out of the painful shadow of losing his daughter.

Three years later, she became pregnant again.

Since he was born, Xie Jincheng has become the focus of everyone's attention. He is the apple of everyone's eye and carries the countless earnest expectations of Grandpa Xie.

However, this happy and fulfilling time was short-lived.

On Xie Jincheng's 5th birthday, Zhong Ke's best friend Wei Yan suddenly came to visit.

She held the hand of a 2-year-old boy and told everyone that the child's father was Mr. Xie.

That child was Wei Guan.

This news was like a bolt from the blue, causing Zhong Ke, who was originally immersed in happiness, to fall into the abyss in an instant.

She could not accept the double betrayal by her best friend and her husband. She was tortured internally, depressed all day long, and suffered from severe bipolar disorder.

She struggled in pain every day, and finally, on a quiet and ordinary night, she chose to commit suicide by taking medicine.

It is worth mentioning that not long after Zhong Ke’s death, Wei Yan and her son were secretly escorted abroad by Mr. Xie and disappeared for ten years.

Shen Qianhe is not stupid. Combining his own experience, he can easily guess how much Xie Jincheng hates Wei Yan and her son.

Who knows if Zhong Ke’s death has something to do with Wei Yan.

After experiencing everything in the previous life, Shen Qianhe hated people like Wei Yan to the core.

What she didn't expect was that Wei Yan was not only Zhong Ke's best friend, but also her mother Xu Shuqin's college classmate.

During the conversation, Wei Yan deliberately revealed a key piece of information to Shen Qianhe under the pretext of reminiscing about the past:

Xu Shuqin and Zhong Ke once liked the same man when they were in school.

......

Shen Qianhe raised her head and stared at the man in front of her, her red lips parted slightly: "I wonder how Mr. Wei wants to help me?"

The man's eyes flickered slightly. He did not answer the question directly, but asked in return: "Ms. Shen, do you know why Xie Jincheng didn't let me investigate that matter?"

Shen Qianhe: "Just say what you want to say."

The man raised his lips, smiling as lightly as the breeze: "Because the disappearance of your mother Xu Shuqin is related to Xie Jincheng's mother. She got into Zhong Ke's car that day, and then... she never came back."

Wei Guan deliberately emphasized his tone when he said the last sentence. His eyes always stayed on Shen Qianhe's face, capturing all the micro-expressions on her face.

"How can I believe you? Where's the evidence?"

Wei Guan handed Shen Qianhe a USB drive and said slowly:

"Miss Shen, you can take a good look at the video files inside."

Shen Qianhe took the USB drive and held it tightly in his hand.

"If Miss Shen chooses to believe me after reading this, then I will wait for you at room 305 of the Earl's Mansion at pm tomorrow."

Shen Qianhe didn't say anything, her long eyelashes looked like butterfly wings stained with frost.

After Wei Guan left, she sat alone on the bed, her mind full of confused thoughts.

In her previous life, she learned from Lin Rou that Xu Shuqin was trafficked into the mountains, so she always thought that Lin Rou was behind it. Therefore, the direction of her investigation in this life was mainly focused on Lin Rou.

She even specifically reminded Wei Guan at the beginning to focus on investigating Lin Rou.

But somehow, during the investigation, they actually found the clue that was Xie Jincheng's mother!

Zhong Ke has been dead for almost ten years. If you count carefully, she committed suicide half a year after Xu Shuqin disappeared...

Another thing is, how come the private detective she hired happened to be Mr. Xie’s illegitimate son?

Thinking of this, Shen Qianhe couldn't help but take a breath.

Three women who seem to have nothing to do with each other but are connected in every way, all had intersections ten years ago.

Xu Shuqin is missing.

Zhong Ke committed suicide.

Now only Wei Yan is still alive.

What exactly happened ten years ago?

......

Shen Qianhe lay on the soft mattress, looking at the USB flash drive in his hand with somewhat empty eyes.

Just now, she found a computer in Xie Jincheng's study and checked the contents of the USB flash drive.

There is only one video file.

This video is exactly the scene captured by the damaged surveillance camera on the route where Xu Shuqin went for her morning jog.

In the video, Zhong Ke got out of the car, talked to Xu Shuqin for a few words, and then the two got in the car and drove away together.

Shen Qianhe suddenly understood why Shen Wenyuan was unwilling to investigate Xu Shuqin's disappearance.

Why are all the surveillance cameras on that road in good working order, except for the one where Xu Shuqin disappeared?

It turned out to be because of Zhong Ke.

After all, she is the wife of the head of the Xie family, the largest family in the capital.

If it was the Xie family that put pressure on Shen Wenyuan, then everything that happened afterwards would be explainable.

But Xu Shuqin didn't seem to have any deep hatred with Zhong Ke. Besides, this matter must be related to Lin Rou, otherwise she wouldn't be clear about the situation after Xu Shuqin disappeared.

It can't be that Zhong Ke and Lin Rou planned this together?

Shen Qianhe felt like his brain was about to explode.

Just as she was trying to sort out the intricate connections here, her cell phone rang.

On the other end of the phone, Song Ruier's voice was choked with sobs, and tears seemed to have blurred her pronunciation.

"Sister Qianhe...please come to Yihe Medical Center as soon as possible! Qianyu is sick."
