Chapter 408: The Person Who Wrote the Whistleblower Letter

Ke Zhongyu put everything into Jiang Lai's bedroom; if possible, he would also put things in the living room, dining room and open study, but A Lai definitely wouldn't allow it.

There are still children at home.

Because of this plastic bag incident, Jiang Lai kept her eyes down while eating, not speaking and not looking at Ke Zhongyu.

The dining room was eerily quiet.

Ke Zhongyu's lips always bore a faint smile, and he would occasionally glance at Jiang Lai's face.

This meal was utterly tasteless; the flavor was all in the person.

After eating, Jiang Lai said to Ke Zhongyu, "See you tomorrow, be safe on the road."

The faint smile on Ke Zhongyu's lips never faded; he didn't say he'd stay over, and as he left he still held the plastic bag in his hand.

Jiang Lai felt for the first time that black was really noticeable, and she couldn't help but glance at it twice more.

Ke Zhongyu also glanced and said, "These are unusable, the size is too small."

"Hurry up, hurry up." Jiang Lai could barely stand him, she reached out and pushed his back to make him leave quickly; Ke Zhongyu walked slowly toward the door, the black plastic bag in his hand swaying.

As they went out, Jiang Lai snatched the black plastic bag away.

Ke Zhongyu wanted to turn back and ask, but the door had already been shut.

He felt no anger at being shut out, only pride; that Jiang Lai dared to show emotion toward him was a great improvement.

Jiang Lai stood on the balcony and saw Ke Zhongyu turn on his car lights, which flashed three times, presumably to tell her see you tomorrow.

"See you tomorrow." Jiang Lai's lips parted slightly as she watched Ke Zhongyu leave.

She went into the bedroom to take a shower first; hot water poured from overhead, she could barely keep her eyes open, so she instinctively reached for the body wash, feeling around until she touched a small box; opening her eyes, she saw it was blue.

Jiang Lai quickly tossed it back.

After finally finishing her shower, when she got ready to brush her teeth she found the toothpaste used up; the new toothpaste was in the cabinet beside the mirror, she opened it and a compact lay there quietly.

Bang.

Jiang Lai closed the cabinet.

Might as well squeeze out the old toothpaste first.

Her face grew hotter the more she washed; Jiang Lai could hardly bear Ke Zhongyu, so after going out, without drying her hair, she sent him a message.

【What have you done!】

Ke Zhongyu looked at that exclamation mark, smiled silently, and could already picture Jiang Lai clutching her phone, gritting her teeth while staying calm.

【Did you see it?】

Jiang Lai: 【Why didn't you put it at your own place!】

Ke Zhongyu: 【Who said I didn't put it?】

Jiang Lai tossed her phone aside and went to blow-dry her hair.

She shouldn't have asked.

Ke Zhongyu's placing those things like that caused Jiang Lai to have a dream at night, and she woke up hot in the morning.

She opened her eyes at only six-thirty.

That was an hour earlier than usual.

She decided not to sleep, got up to brush her teeth and wash her face, and this time she really intended to use the new toothpaste.

Jiang Lai took the toothpaste with a blank expression, then silently pushed the compact inside, blocking it with other unopened toothpaste.

She sent Ke Zhongyu a good-morning message, and he replied quickly.

Jiang Lai asked him: 【Why so early?】

Ke Zhongyu: 【Running】

Jiang Lai knew Ke Zhongyu had a habit of working out twice a week, but always in the evenings.

Jiang Lai: 【Why in the morning?】

Ke Zhongyu: 【To vent anger】

Jiang Lai tossed her phone aside again.

The next second, her phone kept popping up with messages; the latest one said Old Time would come pick her up for work.

Ke Zhongyu had already gotten off the treadmill, just after sending Jiang Lai his message, when he received ten encrypted files from Ke Guanjia, one of which was specially marked.

Ke Zhongyu used his phone to cast the files and examine them; they were the data of everyone who had used the IP address to send the whistleblower email to Ji Lao, the other nine showed no issues, and White Tower's conclusion was also that no connection had been detected yet, only the specially marked file had a connection.

As soon as Ke Zhongyu opened it, there was Gu Yinxue's name, along with pictures of her entering and leaving an internet café that day.

It really was her.

Ke Zhongyu was not surprised at all; he went to the printer in the study, printed out all the materials, clipped them together, and then headed to Number Ten Courtyard on Yanping Road.

The files were placed on the passenger seat.

Jiang Lai could see them as soon as she opened the car door; she naturally picked them up to flip through, each annotation was clear, and the side column also had a detailed analysis.

Jiang Lai read them very carefully.

Ke Zhongyu didn't disturb her, quietly acting as her dedicated driver; he caught a glimpse of her turning to the last page in his peripheral vision before speaking slowly.

"Being able to trace this IP owes a lot to one person, but this is an irregular operation that risks one's career, so I can't tell you."

But hearing him say that, Jiang Lai could surely guess eight or nine out of ten.

Jiang Lai nodded, closed the files and said, "I never expected this matter to involve Gu Yinxue; at that time, my affair with Gu Yinxue hadn't been revealed yet."

Ke Zhongyu: "It shows Gu Yinxue already knew she wasn't a Gu family member before then; I remember when she first met you she wanted to exchange contact information."

Jiang Lai nodded: "Right, at the coffee shop, when I met with the people from the design company."

Ke Zhongyu: "She had been suspected since childhood; seeing your appearance made her suspicion normal, but we don't know whether she did a parentage test with the Gu family herself, or you did one with the Gu family; either way, it contradicts her behavior in front of Gu family members."

Jiang Lai nodded again, thinking of another point: "Ke Zhongyu, among these there is a photo of Lin Shutong and Gu Yinxue meeting alone, the date on it is the day before Ji Lao was reported."

Ke Zhongyu: "Smart."

He shifted his gaze: "Go see Lin Shutong, then some things will become clear—bring the recording pen."

Jiang Lai had a bit of doubt.

Ke Zhongyu: "Lin Shutong's sentence is three years, not life imprisonment; after she gets out, how will you handle her revenge? She needs to know the truth." Only then can one precisely take revenge on the villain.

He didn't say that latter sentence.

He didn't want to appear bad in front of Jiang Lai.

Jiang Lai said he was fine, even though he didn't think so himself.

Jiang Lai understood Ke Zhongyu's good intentions, nodded and said: "After the product test is done, we'll go."

Ke Zhongyu: "Let's go today; the product test isn't urgent, you were already ahead of schedule."

Jiang Lai stared at him: "Ke Zhongyu, what are you planning to do?"

Ke Zhongyu: "I feel uneasy; Lin Shutong will become a future problem."

Jiang Lai noticed Ke Zhongyu was very concerned about her safety; after the car stopped, she undid her seatbelt and went over to hug him.

"Mm, let's go today."

Ke Zhongyu rubbed the back of her head: "I'll accompany you, don't worry."

Jiang Lai shook her head: "I'm not worried."

That evening they went to meet Lin Shutong; Ke Zhongyu slowed his steps, walked behind Jiang Lai, took out his phone and sent a message to Assistant Zhou.

【Let the people there make arrangements, allow Gu Zhiyan to visit tomorrow.】

He wanted, after learning the truth, Lin Shutong and Gu Zhiyan to fight each other like dogs.

Some facts, when spoken from Jiang Lai's mouth or his mouth, lack persuasiveness; they need to be told by the main parties involved to be compelling.
