Chapter 251: Former Lovers

Dad, you, you're asking about this?

I'm just asking you, have you ever been together or not?

Geng Tianhua seemed to have seen through it; this Geng Jing Shu must have been hiding many things of her own.

She lowered her head and remained silent, but in fact, all of this had already told him an answer.

In other words, were you two once a couple?

Yes, back then we had been together, but I had just entered college then, I didn't know anything, and I didn't even know Xiao Yunzhe.

How long were you together?

Roughly, about half a year or so, and then I broke up with him.

After that? Later on, did he ever pursue you again?

No, he never pursued me, and even up to our college graduation, he never brought up that relationship.

Oh no, if my guess is right, the person who was with you that night, I think, must be Zhao Yixuan.

Dad, this, this can't be possible? Is it really him?

Looking at it now, the likelihood is probably higher for him, but there's still a problem.

Dad, what else is there?

Geng Jing Shu just felt that this matter was already quite terrifying for her; could there be something even more terrifying than these things?

This person definitely has a purpose.

What purpose?

Exactly, think about it: if he really dropped that diamond in a panic, would he need to keep carrying it on himself all the time?

Or maybe it was just the earring that fell, and he deliberately picked it up?

I'm just worried it'll be like this; let me add: if he really picked it up on purpose, why wouldn't he put it at home, not return it to you, but keep it on himself?

This.

Even if I could understand him having it, why would he leave it where he could find it? Don't you feel all of this is like a step‑by‑step arrangement?

After Geng Tianhua finished saying that, it really seemed to make Geng Jing Shu feel as if she had walked into a trap.

Could it be that this step‑by‑step everything really is arranged?

Dad, could it be that he's the one pulling the strings behind all of this?

I don't know what he wants, but this person must be figured out, and you absolutely must not, because of him, end up offending the Xiao family; otherwise things will probably get troublesome.

But the key issue is, he has already started suspecting him, and I also couldn't stop him from investigating this matter.

Hurry up, contact Zhao Yixuan, then see what he really means; remember, this matter must never be admitted, no matter what.

Okay, I got it.

Geng Jing Shu only now realizes the seriousness of it, and she never imagined she would have let things come to this point.

He fumbled for his phone and then dialed the number directly.

But the phone, no one answered at all.

Call again.

Still no one answered.

No good, go downstairs to his company to find him—you know where he works, right?

Dad, going now seems a bit too rushed.

I tell you, if this matter is ever truly confirmed, then likely the Xiao family's power will press down on us, and we simply won't be able to fight back—do you understand?

Okay, I know, I'm heading out right now.

What are you doing? Your daughter's health isn't convenient right now; why go looking for something at this time?

Sun Xuehua also seemed unable to watch any longer.

Just now, the father and daughter's conversation here, he indeed heard every word clearly.

What time is it now? Do you think there's still a need to worry about these things? If he doesn't go, then I'll have to step in myself.

You, you can't step in; I'm telling you, if you do, the nature of this matter will change.

So I'm giving him this chance now; if he can grasp all of this, maybe the situation can still be suppressed.

Okay, Jing Shu, remember this; when you get there, you must properly talk to him and see what he really means.

Geng Jing Shu just nodded nervously, then put on her clothes and swaggered away from here.

Xiao Yunzhe sat in the company car and went straight to the construction site.

He found that these construction sites were now under strict martial law, and relevant personnel had taken over the site.

And around, there were some ordinary people gathered here, pointing and discussing, likely talking about what had just happened.

When the car stopped beside this crowd, he simply stopped the vehicle as the driver.

General Manager Xiao, given the situation, it might not be appropriate for us to go over, right?

No problem, we've already come, and whatever we need to face, we must face.

Speaking, he directly opened the car door and then stepped down from the vehicle.

Quick, look, it's General Manager Xiao.

Exactly, I didn't expect he'd really come.

I didn't expect that among the crowd, besides the onlookers, there were even some reporters always present.

These reporters themselves knew that this project was the most important one for their Minghui Group this year.

And now, with such a big incident, they must have already rushed here upon hearing the news.

But after seeing Xiao Ming appear, these people promptly pulled out the cameras they had hidden on themselves and then pressed the shutter here.

Get up, get up, what are you doing?

The few bodyguards beside him then hurriedly gathered forward, blocking their view, hoping not to be filmed by him.

But even if they go to stop it again, there is freedom of speech, and taking photos is something they cannot control.

Xiao Ming paid no attention to these; he just lowered his head and hurriedly went straight into the engineering office of the construction site.

After pushing open the door, he saw several people in uniform sitting inside.

"General Manager Xiao."

The project manager, upon seeing him come, was actually not at all surprised.

He knew that the company had encountered such a big matter, and Xiao Ming would certainly not ignore it.

"What on earth is going on, and how did these things suddenly happen?"
