Endless Fall

“He doesn’t have time right now. We can talk about it in person tomorrow.”

Lin Jiao did not know how she could come up with such a lame lie as he didn’t have time.

She said calmly, “Miss Su, Gu Quan and I are now strangers. Instead of spending time on me, why don’t you think about how to grab his heart.”

“What do you mean by that?”

“Don’t you understand? Then go and ask Gu Quan, who doesn’t have time. He should be very happy to explain it to you.”

Su Tian tightened her grip on the phone, and even her delicate face gradually became distorted with anger.

“Lin Jiao, you don’t have to be sarcastic.” She took a deep breath and quickly composed herself. “I know you still love him, but love isn’t something that can be done alone. It’s useless to force it.”

“Miss Su.” Lin Jiao became even more impatient. “There are many men in this world. Not everyone treats Gu Quan like a treasure like you.”

“Lin Jiao, are you kidding yourself?” Su Tian thought that Lin Jiao was pretending to be calm.

She asked, “If you don’t love him, why did you do something to make him feel guilty?”

Lin Jiao was confused.

She looked up at the time on the screen and had no intention of talking nonsense with her. “I suggest you go and see a psychiatrist first. If you delay any longer, there might be no cure.”

“Lin Jiao, you…”

“You’re welcome.”

With that, Lin Jiao hung up. Su Tian called again, but no one answered.

She was so angry that she threw her phone on the ground and stood in front of the window for a long time before suppressing the anger in her heart.

“Boss, there’s news.” After reading the files of information, Qu Shao hastened to report to Pei Zhi.

Pei Zhi rubbed his eyebrows.

He looked up at the clock on the wall and said in a low voice, “Do you know what time it is?”

“One in the morning,” Qu Shao answered honestly.

He could feel Pei Zhi’s displeasure and hurriedly said, “I don’t want to disturb you, but the news is mind-blowing.”

“Send it to me.”

“Right away. Let me give you a voice call first.”

Pei Zhi sat up on his bed.

He placed a soft pillow to the back of his head. After answering the voice call, he went through the email Qu Shao sent in a comfortable position.

It had to be said that the content of the emails was indeed very mind-blowing. From the day Su Tian left the country to the day before she returned, everything big and small was recorded in the form of photos, audio, and chat records.

“Boss, how far have you gone?” Qu Shao waited quietly.

“Page eighteen.”

“You’ll get to the mind-blowing part soon, then.”

Pei Zhi read the entire email expressionlessly.

He lit a cigarette and went back to when she first left the country. “Did Gu Quan send someone to investigate her?”

“Not at the moment.” Qu Shao took two sips of water and said sarcastically, “If he finds out, he’ll probably break down.”

Pei Zhi let out a snort.

He closed the email and tapped his cigarette against the ashtray on the bedside table. “No leaks without my permission.”

“Copy that.” Qu Shao gulped down the water. “I’ll inform them immediately. I promise not a single word will leak out.”

“Good.” Pei Zhi hung up.

Just as he was about to turn off the screen, he saw a red dot pop up on his Moments.

He clicked on it and found a video posted by Chu Yuzhou. Underneath the video, a night owl who was still up commented something.
