It was a man wearing glasses, who was hidden between several cars, his camera aiming at something across the street.
âShen Yishu?â
I called out softly.
He made a gesture for me to be quiet, then pointed across the street.
I abandoned my plan to get out of the car and looked out through the window.
And spotted a familiar figure.
The man was tall and thin, dressed in a black trench coat. The high collar of his coat concealed his resolute face.
He wore sunglasses and a black mask.
Even from a distance, this man emanated a strong aura.
Having been married to him for more than a decade, I recognized it immediately, no matter how well it was disguised.
That man was Gu Yuanzhou.
He was talking to a short man with a head full of curly hair.
The curly-haired man seemed to hold him in great respect, nodding slightly as he listened to whatever he was saying.
I guessed that Gu Yuanzhou had just learned the address of Little Curly Hair from Song Shixiong and rushed over immediately.
The two men talked for about ten minutes.
Then, Gu Yuanzhou drove off.
After Gu Yuanzhou left, Shen Yishu got into the car.
âHow long was Gu Yuanzhou here?â
Shen Yishu was fiddling with his camera.
âNot long, he arrived just three minutes before you did.â
âShen Yishu, how did you know that Little Curly Hair lived here?â
âRemember I told you that a company was willing to sponsor me to continue tracking Gu Yuanzhou? They send me any information they gather as soon as they get it, so I came.â
What Shen Yishu said startled me.
Were there others who knew about Damaha and Little Curly Hair ahead of me and Ding Yinuo?
On second thought, it could be an informant from the police.
âYishu, is it because of Ye Mengyan that you⊠still canât let go of Gu Yuanzhou?â
Upon hearing this, Shen Yishuâs face showed a glimpse of desolation.
His lips trembled slightly and his eyes dimmed.
âDo you think Iâm stupid?â
âWhat do you mean?â
âActually, I knew four years ago. Although she didnât disclose it, when she was with me, she always seemed distracted. Sometimes, I would give her flowers, a birthday cake on her birthday. She took pictures and posted them in her circle of friends, but the pictures always left me out, showing only the flowers and the birthday cake. And sometimes, she would post romantic poems, then block me⊠Haha, Iâm not a fool, I could feel it.â
Grief filled Shen Yishuâs words.
âThe saddest part is, I clearly felt that she didnât care much about me. But I wouldnât accept reality, I refused to believe. I kept fooling myself, telling myself I must not be good enough. Thatâs why she didnât pay much attention to me! Once I become good enough, she will care about me.â
I remained silent.
If Shen Yishu is a fool, then I am even more so.
From childhood, my aunt always said I was the smartest person in the family.
She praised me for being smart, emotionally intelligent, good at studying, and having a keen eye in business.
But still, I lost to Gu Yuanzhou.
Whatâs more terrifying is, until now, I still canât figure out if I really lost to Gu Yuanzhou.
Iâm such a clever person, but still canât match up to Gu Yuanzhou.
âLosing to Gu Yuanzhou is not a disgrace!â
Itâs normal to lose when the competitor is too strong.
I said to Shen Yishu.
Shen Yishu gave a bitter smile.
âIâve figured it out now! Tracking him is not about revenge. I just feel this is a hot spot, there must be a huge conspiracy behind it, thatâs my intuition as a journalist.â
âGood, since youâre so determined, I wish you success!â
âXiaoyun, since you clearly know how dangerous Gu Yuanzhou is, why do you still choose to work for him?â
Shen Yishu didnât know that I had been reborn.
Of course, I wouldnât tell him.
âSometimes, risks and opportunities coexist. But now, I have to go talk to Little Curly Hair!â
âOK!â
When I got out of the car, Shen Yishu was still fiddling with his camera, and out of curiosity, I asked him again.
âStanding so far away, whatâs the point of recording the meeting between Gu Yuanzhou and Little Curly Hair?â
Shen Yishu replied,
âIndeed, itâs quite far, and I canât hear what they were saying. But Iâm studying lip-reading, hoping to figure out their conversation.â
âOh, let me know if you manage to figure it out.â
âOkay!â
I closed the car door and walked across the road.
Just then, my cellphone rang.
I took it out of my bag and saw it was Ding Yinuo calling.
I guessed he probably wanted to check on my progress.
But I was already at Little Curly Hairâs doorstep and decided I would reply to him after my conversation with Little Curly Hair.
Or maybe I was still holding a grudge, so I rejected the call without answering.
Perhaps because Gu Yuanzhou had just left, the front door was not locked, so I walked straight in.
Little Curly Hair was packing up. He was surprised when he saw me.
He then asked,
âWho are you? How did you barge into my house?â
Little Curly Hair was avoiding my gaze and seemed very alert, his hand immediately reached for the door.
âI want to talk to you about something, donât panic⊠Who I am is not important, I just want to discuss a deal with you.â
I had some understanding of the backgrounds of Damaha and Little Curly Hair.
In the past, demanding high-interest loans was a risky job. Getting the debt back from defaulters was not easy.
So, employers would often hire some real tough guys. These people were mostly from the lower class and would do anything for money due to poverty.
And Damaha and Little Curly Hair were exactly like thatâŠ
So, talking about money with people like them is the most effective way!
I finshed speaking quickly, then took out an envelope from my bag that was bulging with money.
âThis is my sincerity. If we have a good talk, the rest⊠thereâs still three hundred thousand!â
Little Curly Hair opened the envelope and counted the money inside. He seemed satisfied, then looked out the door and closed it.
âGo on, what do you want?â
âI want the truth! The arson case at Golden Bay, who ordered you guys to do it!â đłrđewđbnđveđ.cđŒđș
Little Curly Hair seemed unprepared for my question, he was very nervous, got up and walked to the window to look outside again.
Then he came back over to me,
âIt wasnât me!â
âDonât lie to me! Wu Jun has confessed!â
At those words, Little Curly Hair became even more unsettled.
âWu Jun is lying!â
âIt seems youâre not sincere at all! Forget it!â
I turned to leave, but Little Curly Hair pulled me back. Apparently, he was interested in that large sum of money.
âIt really wasnât me, but I know who did it!â
Just as I was confronting Little Curly Hair, my cell phone rang again.
I took it out and saw it was Ding Yinuoâs number again. What was so urgent that he kept calling me?
