Chapter 401: Drugged
“There’s only this short video for now,” said Sun Ye. “The rest of the information is still being recovered.”
Ji Shiting nodded and moved his mouse to the woman holding Ling Yutong. “Is there a problem with this person?”
“I think she’s innocent,” Sun Ye said. “She was the one who arranged the birthday party that night, and she was the one who booked Ms. Ling’s room. She even helped Ms. Ling to her room to rest. If she wants to hurt Ms. Ling, she should avoid arousing suspicion.”
“Did Xie Siqi attend the birthday party that night?” Ji Shiting raised an eyebrow.
She had used someone else to achieve her goal, and she was hiding in the dark… This suited Xie Siqi’s style.
“Yes.” Sun Ye nodded. “But she only showed up to give Ms. Ling a present and left.”
Ji Shiting curled his lips.
On the screen, Ling Yutong had been sent to her room. Before long, her friend left the room, and the video stopped.
It seemed that the man had entered after that.
Ji Shiting turned off the video and took out the USB. He thought for a bit and asked, “Where was Shuhang that night?”
“Young Master Yu wasn’t in Yang City those days. I found his flight records,” Sun Ye replied.
Ji Shiting nodded.
If that man had been Shuhang, he would’ve suspected that Little Zheng was his child. However, Shuhang didn’t think that the child had anything to do with him.
“Go back first,” Ji Shiting said. “Let me know if you have any news.”
“Yes.”
Ji Shiting lit up a cigarette after Sun Ye left.
If he couldn’t find Little Zheng’s biological father, he would never be able to cut ties with that child. He didn’t care about his reputation, but Shengge would definitely be criticized.
The man put out his cigarette and left the study.
At the same time, Ye Shengge walked out of the room and the couple met at the stairs.
Ji Shiting grabbed her waist and said, “Have you finished reading the script?”
“Mm.” Her eyes were shining. “The story is amazing. I can’t wait anymore! I’m suddenly relieved that Ling Yutong quit the show. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to bear to quit.”
She then met the man’s half-smile.
“Of course, you’re more important.” She corrected herself. “If I can get rid of Ling Yutong completely, I’ll be willing to lose this chance.”
Ji Shiting snorted and pinched her face.
They went to a restaurant for dinner.
Ye Shengge felt her phone vibrating in her pocket.
She took out her phone and Ji Shiting immediately looked over.
“It’s Director Chen,” she said and turned on the radio.
“Shengge.” Chen Anzhi sounded confused. “Ada told me that she wouldn’t cooperate with me for now. I asked her for the reason, but she refused to tell me. She made me ask you.”
Ye Shengge scoffed inwardly.
Ling Yutong might sound nice, but she was putting her in front of Chen Anzhi. Don’t push the blame to me if you have the guts.
“It’s like this, Director Chen.” Ye Shengge smiled. “Ada and I have some personal grudges, but I didn’t expect her to be so determined. It looks like she and I are destined to only have one person to stay on this project. I know Ada works with you, so I can resign if you deem it necessary.”
