The vicious female supporting role becomes the female lead

Chapter 115: Investigating the Mastermind (2)

Chu Qiao carefully followed the footsteps of the mysterious man in front of her and walked through the dark and eerie corridor.

Her bright eyes are as alert as a hawk, not missing any slight movement; her small and delicate ears are like sensitive radars, always paying attention to even the slightest sound around her.

She knew very well that she might be stepping into an extremely dangerous place, a den of dragons and tigers.

However, her deep-seated belief in the pursuit of justice was as solid as a rock, unshakable. No matter what difficulties, obstacles, or unknown crises lay ahead, they could not deter her from her determination to seek justice for Bo Zhengting.

After a long journey, the two finally stopped in front of a wooden door that looked extremely heavy.

The man first raised his hand and knocked on the door gently a few times. Then he reached out and pushed the door open, and slightly turned sideways to make a gesture to Chu Qiao to come in.

Chu Qiao took a deep breath, as if to gather all the courage in her body, and then stepped forward without hesitation and stepped into the dimly lit room.

The dim light from the few oil lamps in the room made the entire space seem even more depressing and dull.

On the extremely spacious desk, a blurry figure sat quietly, with his back to Chu Qiao who had just entered the room.

Chu Qiao stared fearlessly at the figure from behind, and spoke in a firm and powerful voice, "I came here today solely to find out the truth about Bo Zhengting's attack. I want to know who was behind this elaborate plot and execution of this evil act against him!"

Hearing Chu Qiao's righteous words, the person who had his back to her slowly turned around.

When his face fully revealed itself to Chu Qiao, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, revealing a playful smile. He responded slowly, "Miss Chu, I have to say you are quite courageous. However, there are some things a woman of your status shouldn't know."

Chu Qiao responded coldly: "I don't need to know everything, I just need to know who murdered my fiancé."

The man stood up and walked in front of Chu Qiao. There was a hint of threat in his eyes. "Miss Chu, this world is much more complicated than you think. Sometimes, knowing too much is not a good thing."

Chu Qiao looked him straight in the face without fear. "I don't care how complicated the world is. I only care about protecting the people I love. If you don't tell me what I want to know, I will find the answer myself."

The man was silent for a while, then suddenly laughed: "Miss Chu, you are such an interesting woman. However, I can tell you that I know nothing about Bo Zhengting's affairs."

Chu Qiao stared into his eyes, trying to find any sign of lies or deception. "If what you say is true, then I will leave. But if I find out you're lying to me, I swear, I will come back for you."

The man spread his hands and said, "I don't care. However, Miss Chu, I suggest you go back and take good care of your fiancé. Let's leave these matters to professionals."

Chu Qiao pretended not to hear anything and turned away without looking back. The graceful figure soon disappeared at the door of the room.

However, at this moment, her seemingly calm heart was like a raging storm, and it could no longer return to its former tranquility and peace.

The surging and vast sea of ​​emotions seemed to swallow her whole.

In her mind, every word and sentence that person just said was like a deafening thunder, constantly exploding in her ears, and then spreading wildly in the depths of her thoughts at an astonishing speed.

Those words were like nimble and cunning snakes, weaving and swimming freely in her mind, sometimes entwining with each other, sometimes dispersing, leaving her overwhelmed.

She tried her best to grasp the true meaning behind these words and tried to make sense of this tangled mess of information.

Although she was not yet 100% sure of the truthfulness of this person's words, Chu Qiao knew very well that if she continued to hesitate and wander here, she would undoubtedly waste a lot of extremely precious and non-renewable time resources.

So, she immediately decided to take action. She quickly focused her mind, summoning all her strength, and unleashed her unique mind-reading skills. However, to her surprise, this time, the mind-reading technique didn't work at all! No matter how hard she tried to sense the other person's inner thoughts and emotions, she couldn't get any effective feedback.

At this moment, she suddenly remembered what the system book spirit had said to her: "For those with exceptionally strong willpower, ordinary mind-reading techniques are completely useless to them." Could this mysterious person before her be such a person? Thinking of this, Chu Qiao couldn't help but frown, pondering secretly in her heart...

She hurried back to her car, which was parked nearby, opened the door, and quickly got into the driver's seat. Then, she swiftly pulled her phone from her bag and pressed the call button without hesitation. When she heard a familiar voice on the other end of the phone, Chu Qiao said straight to the point, "Xiao Liu, there's something I need your help investigating."

Xiao Liu on the other end of the phone responded almost instantly: "Ms. Chu, go ahead!"

Chu Qiao took a deep breath, trying to calm her slightly anxious mood. Then, she methodically told Xiao Liu every detail of the person she had just met. "I now suspect this person is very likely connected to the attack on Zheng Ting, but this is just my speculation at the moment. So, I'd like to ask you to help me conduct a thorough investigation into his background as soon as possible, paying special attention to any clues that indicate any suspicious behavior or past experience."

After hearing this, Xiao Liu replied firmly, "Okay, Miss Chu, I'll take care of everything. Don't worry, I'll get started right away!"

After receiving Xiao Liu's affirmative answer, Chu Qiao breathed a sigh of relief and then decisively ended this short but important call.

She gently put down her phone and expertly started the car engine. As the low roar of the engine began to rise, Chu Qiao stared resolutely at the road ahead, vowing to herself: no matter what difficulties and obstacles she faced, she would not flinch and would persevere in her pursuit until she uncovered the true murderer hiding behind the scenes.

Because she knew very well that she could never let Bo Zhengting suffer harm for no reason; at the same time, she had to use practical actions to prove to Bo Zhengting that she was not only his close lover whom he could trust, but also a reliable partner who could be his solid backing and fight side by side with him.
