  The eldest young master of Tiffany & Co. had boarded the plane. In another ten hours or so, he would arrive in Jianchuan.

  So, Gu Ziling took the chance to call Hu Ran’s stepmother when no one was in Sheng Mansion. “The other party will arrive here tonight. How’s your preparation?”


  Hu Ran’s stepmother, not knowing that her friend had been targeted by the police, said to her, “I will call him in a while to make arrangements. You can take Hu Ran out tonight, so don’t worry.”


  “Then I shall wait for your call for confirmation,” said Gu Ziling.

  After the phone call, Gu Ziling looked around again. Only after ensuring that none of the Shengs saw her did she go back into the living room from the yard.

  However, her sneaky action was clearly witnessed by Hu Ran in her room through the window.

  Her new room happened to be facing the yard.

  Although Hu Ran did not know what Gu Ziling was up to yet, she reminded Sheng Bowen. “Just now, I saw Second Sister-in-law talking on the phone sneakily in the yard. You must be extra careful when you fetch the eldest young master of the Tiffany family. I’m worried that this woman is planning something evil.”


  “Don’t worry, Xiao Ran. In fact, the eldest young master of the Tiffany family is already in Jianchuan. He got on the plane last night,” Sheng Bowen told her.

  “Why didn’t you tell me earlier? You made me worry for nothing.”


  “If you don’t even know about it, the other two would not notice,” explained Sheng Bowen. “Xiao Ran, you won’t blame me, right?”


  “Why should I? You did a great job.”


  She previously thought that Sheng Bowen was a helplessly honest man who did not know how to hide any secrets. So it was surprisingly refreshing that her thought turned out to be false. Apparently, he knew how to work around things when he had to.

  Fair enough.

  So now, no matter what Sheng Kai and his wife were trying to do, it would be fruitless.

  At that moment, Hu Ran’s stepmother was calling her best friend. “Xiao Cui, are you free to help me with something?”


  “Oh my lady, I’m currently running for my life! How is it possible for me to help you? The police are hunting for me everywhere. Don’t call me.” Then, he hung up the phone.

  Mrs. Hu frowned, looking at the phone. Suddenly, it struck her. Was it about Shen Qing’s death?

  If the police got to Xiao Cui, the secret of her hiring an assassin might surface. Thinking about this, Mrs. Hu’s heart started pounding hard and loudly. No way, she had got to help Xiao Cui escape.

  But it was the police who were looking for him. They would not be as gentle as Hu Ran and Sheng Bowen. To them, it was not complicated looking for a cunning paparazzo.

  Since he was the prime suspect of a murder case, the police acted very quickly. Even though that paparazzo knew how to disguise himself, simply hiding in his parents’ house got him arrested easily.

  “Mr. Cui, why are you hiding? Please come with us.”


  “No, Mr. Policeman. I didn’t do anything wrong. Why are you looking for me?”


  “Why are you running away then? If you have anything to say, say it when we get to the police station.”


  So, within a few hours, the paparazzo was already in custody. He was now being interrogated by the police. As for the other suspect, she was Shen Qing’s best friend, who was also a designer. She had received a call from Sheng Qing and had gone to Shen Qing’s villa for a little chat. But after a while, her husband called her, telling her that their son had a fever and so she had rushed back home.

  The police still collected her fingerprints and DNA sample although suspicion around her was obviously not as strong as the paparazzo.

  She was the first one to enter the villa and left after twenty minutes. After that, a man whose identity is shrouded in mystery came. And the last one was the paparazzo. If Shen Qing died before then, why didn’t the two who came after her call the police?

  There were still doubts about who the murderer was. So, they could not make any conclusion yet.

  The designer was very cooperative with the police and was able to leave the police station in just a short time. And now, it was the paparazzo’s turn.

  Once he entered the interrogation room, he started getting nervous. “Mr. Policeman, I know a lot of gossip in the entertainment industry. Why don’t I tell you about that?”


  “Stop spouting nonsense. Just tell me why you went to Shen Qing’s villa between one to three o’clock early yesterday morning.”


  “Sir, working in our field, we must adhere to our code of ethics. We cannot disclose the privacy of our clients casually.”


  “You don’t seem to understand the seriousness of this matter. Shen Qing died between one and three in the morning yesterday. During that time, you were the last person she met. So, we can also say that she died after you left. Are you honestly not going to explain yourself? We are talking about human life here. Are you sure you can take responsibility for that?”


  The paparazzo panicked when he heard that. “Sir, I……”


  “I know that people in your field always live in hiding in order to dig out stories about the private life of the celebrities and blackmail them afterward. You know that your money comes from your immoral deeds. If you don’t want to tell us, we can still find out about it sooner or later. You weigh the consequences yourself.”


  The paparazzo was nearly scared to death after hearing this. “Sir, I’m just a petty paparazzo. I…… I will tell you everything.

  “The story goes like this. Shen Qing and Huang Fu were always competing, and I got information from Huang Fu that Shen Qing had a secret affair with a married man. So, I hid near her house to see if I could find anything useful to write for the story. Last night, when I was hiding outside Shen Qing’s villa, at about one thirty in the morning, I saw Shen Qing’s best friend come and go. Later on, when it was about two o’clock, a man wearing a black cap came to the villa. I took a lot of pictures of that man. But after twenty minutes or so, the man left as well. When I saw that the door of the villa was open, I entered to try to make a deal with Shen Qing with the pictures. When I got in, I saw Shen Qing drinking on the sofa. She totally ignored me, so I told her that I had taken many pictures of that man. But she challenged me to release the picture to the media. And so I thought, if she was not even afraid of threats, it was useless for me to remain there. So, I left. This is the whole story, Sir.”


  Outside the interrogation room, there were a few people watching the whole process.

  But none of them believed what the paparazzo said.

  “This man is just like a stinky rat in the entertainment industry. Everyone hates him. You can’t imagine the dirty things he has done before. Not only that, because of his occupation, he is very cunning. We need to use some tricks to get useful words out of his mouth.”


  After hearing what Tang Yan said, Mu Qiqi gave a similar opinion.

  “He must have thought that he could deal with the police easily since he’s able to survive in the dirty entertainment industry with his knowledge. I only believe in one thing he said, that he was hiding outside Shen Qing’s villa. Since he said that he took pictures, he should be able to show us the pictures or videos of that man with a cap. Without doubt, he is very suspicious.”
