349: The trump card is played
Gu Bing didn't know Lin Xuan's current mood.
If she knew, she would only smile it off.
That was merely the appetizer he had found; the main course, however, could be considered ready.
Looking at the USB drive in her hand, which contained all the content captured by the video recorder, Gu Bing put on her hoodie and mask.
The body transformed from the Substitute Doll had already been buried and disposed of by people sent by Xia Yuanfu; to outsiders, the person Gu Bing was already dead.
Dead in a horrifying, yet ordinary way.
And the tragic story that happened to her had reached the most suitable time to be revealed.
...
"Swish swish swish..."
Under the dark sky, rain poured down madly.
Inside the villa, through the window with rolling raindrops, were a man and a woman with different expressions.
"What is this?"
Xia Qingxue saw Lin Xuan holding a torn piece of cloth, looking lost in thought.
"It's a rescue message sent by Gu Bing."
"Rescue message?" Xia Qingxue's heart pounded.
She hadn't expected that in that situation, Gu Bing would still have the ability to send a rescue signal to Lin Xuan!
"Didn't she escape? What does she want to ask you for help with? It wouldn't be some kind of trap, would it?"
Xia Qingxue wanted to mislead Lin Xuan's thoughts.
Gu Bing had already been captured by her Father's men; no matter what, this matter could not be known by Lin Xuan.
Otherwise, her perfect image in Lin Xuan's heart would surely collapse.
But Lin Xuan's next sentence caused Xia Qingxue's expression to stiffen.
"Xia Qingxue, all this time, we have wronged Gu Bing. She didn't know there was poison in that bottle of water back then; the one who poisoned it has always been Blood Rose alone."
"We locked Gu Bing, this innocent woman, in the basement and tortured her for several days!"
Hearing this, Xia Qingxue's brows furrowed slightly.
Of course, she had known this point for a long time.
After all, in her eyes, Gu Bing deeply loved Lin Xuan and would absolutely not poison Lin Xuan.
It was just that this truth, she had always hidden and not told.
Lin Xuan abusing Gu Bing was something she was happy to see.
Seeing Lin Xuan understand this matter now, while her mood was bad, she was also a little relieved.
Discovering this matter was still better than discovering that Gu Bing was the woman who accompanied him at the bottom of the cliff.
"Then you, went to save her?" Taking the torn piece of skirt hem and looking at the words 'Help me' and the address on it, Xia Qingxue asked, following Lin Xuan's line of thought.
As expected, Lin Xuan shook his head under Xia Qingxue's relieved gaze: "After saving you, I went to this place."
"There was just an empty house, nothing else was found."
"I must have been too late."
"It's because I saved you that I wasted your time." Xia Qingxue let out a sigh of relief, then said with 'self-blame'.
Lin Xuan smiled comfortingly: "At that time, you were kidnapped by Blood Rose, how could I not go to save you?"
"Even now, between you and Gu Bing, I would still choose you."
"Hehe, I'll go cook for you." Hearing the satisfactory reply, Xia Qingxue happily ran towards the kitchen.
It was just that Lin Xuan's mouth twitched.
That carbonized bitter beef from the last meal seemed to still be tormenting his taste buds at this moment.
He really missed the food from those days at the bottom of the cliff.
Lin Xuan looked out the window with a lingering taste.
But suddenly, he saw a figure flash.
Someone!
Lin Xuan's strength had greatly increased compared to before, coupled with the sharpness he had honed on the foreign battlefield all this time.
He instantly discovered that someone was peeking at him outside the villa!
The other party seemed to have also noticed Lin Xuan's gaze and immediately fled into the distance.
"Run? Can you escape?" Terrifying speed instantly applied to his legs, and in just a few breaths, Lin Xuan directly grabbed the back of the neck of this peeping person with one hand and pressed him to the ground!
"Bang~"
Rain splashed up, and the two people in the rain curtain were soaked by the heavy rain.
"Don't, don't do it, Mr. Lin!"
Pressed tightly to the ground, the man shouted urgently.
"Speak, who are you? What are you doing?!" Lin Xuan's eyes were cold; this kind of peeping fellow was something he could not tolerate.
This was still peeping at him, what would be the consequences if he was peeping at Xia Qingxue?
Thinking of this, the strength in Lin Xuan's hand couldn't help but increase quite a bit.
"Mr. Lin, it's Miss Xia and Miss Xu, they hired us to peek at Mr. Lin."
"They said they wanted to monitor Mr. Lin's every move and report to them at any time."
The paparazzi spoke very quickly, as if someone had taught him well in advance, directly revealing the whole matter.
Hearing this, Lin Xuan suddenly stiffened.
"Xia Qingxue sent you to monitor me?" An unbelievable tone emerged in the man's words.
"I, I have evidence!" The paparazzi, using the slight release of force from Lin Xuan, took out his telephone from his body: "There are message exchanges, if you don't believe me, take a look."
"Our 'Black Core Detective Agency' really just takes money to do things, Mr. Lin."
Seeing the messages on the telephone, Lin Xuan suddenly felt his heart being hammered hard.
Why?
Why did Xia Qingxue send people to monitor him?
Didn't she trust him?
He had clearly been completely open with Xia Qingxue, even telling her all his experiences from those years as a mercenary.
Even so, Xia Qingxue still didn't trust him and even sent people to monitor him!
Why?
He suddenly felt that the woman Xia Qingxue was not the way she appeared in his eyes.
"Mr. Lin, if there's nothing else... I'll leave now?"
The paparazzi, clutching his camera, climbed up from the ground and cautiously asked Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan remained silent.
Seeing the paparazzi about to leave, he suddenly said: "When were you hired to monitor me?"
"This..." The paparazzi scratched his head: "Regarding the client's secrets, we..."
"Speak!" Lin Xuan roared, causing the paparazzi to instantly reply: "Report, a month ago!"
"A month ago, that is to say, you have been monitoring me for a month."
"For such a long time, Xia Qingxue still doesn't trust me, and still hasn't withdrawn you..."
Speaking of this, Lin Xuan felt a burst of disappointment in his heart.
Looking at the cowering paparazzi in front of him, he stretched out his hand: "All the information about me that you have photographed within this month, hand it over."
"This..."
"My patience is limited, don't force me to send you to the intensive care unit."
"There is really too much information, it needs to be organized. Tomorrow, how about I give it to you tomorrow?" The paparazzi asked tentatively.
This reason was relatively reasonable.
Thinking about it, it made sense, having filmed for so long, it was impossible to take out all that information at once.
This all required manpower and time to organize.
"If you don't give me the stuff tomorrow, the consequences are yours!"
"That detective agency behind you will also bear my wrath!"
As soon as these words came out, it meant that Lin Xuan agreed to give the paparazzi one night's time.
...
After sneaking away from the villa with his back bent, the paparazzi still had lingering fears.
However, after turning his head and seeing the figure in the distant pavilion, his face immediately lit up with a smile.
"Boss, how was it? My acting wasn't bad, right?"
The person enjoying the rain in the pavilion was naturally Ye Tian.
As early as the first day he arrived in this World, he had bought that extraordinarily effective Black Core Detective Agency.
Through this agency, he sent messages to Xu Mengmeng and Xia Qingxue, allowing them to obtain the USB drive containing Gu Bing's photo album.
This led to Lin Xuan missing the luxury car that Xia Qingxue was about to give him.
The relationship between the two, which should have rapidly heated up, instantly cooled down.
Later, the role of this detective agency basically had no performance.
But now.
The most vicious trump card could now be played out reasonably through this detective agency.
"You weren't acting, everything you said was the truth."
"Right, right." The paparazzi nodded in deep agreement.
Apart from revealing himself a bit too quickly and being a bit unprofessional, he didn't lie to Lin Xuan in a single word.
"Then Boss, Lin Xuan wants the filmed information tomorrow, do we really have to help him organize it?"
Ye Tian: "Tonight, a woman in disguise will provide a USB drive to you. That is the information Lin Xuan needs."
