That expression was obviously trying to say, 'How dare you utter such words in front of Muran and us. Muran, dump him!'

Li Ruan did not think much of it. She focused on Qi Youxuan's elegant features and blushed from his compliment.

Surprisingly, Wei Muran did not show much of a reaction and remained calm. She noticed Qi Youxuan's facial expression and noticed that things were not as Xing Jiadong thought it to be.

Qi Youxuan could not be bothered to entertain a person that was handicapped in both EQ and IQ like Xing Jiadong. He instead faced Li Ruan and said, “With Miss Li's looks, how would Wei Guangzheng overlook your presence? Furthermore, Miss Li, you work right under him.”

“You… What are you hinting at!” Li Ruan was utterly embarra.s.sed and fl.u.s.tered.

“You said so yourself. Those that we consider pretty had an eighty percent chance of being in or have been in dubious relations with Wei Guangzheng,” Qi Youxuan explained slowly. “I think you fit that standard. What do you think?”

At that moment, even Xing Jiadong understood Qi Youxuan's meaning.

Those of simple minds were always thoughtless. Xing Jiadong nodded enthusiastically, “Mhm, I think so too.”

“You… Stop your bullsh*tting!” Li Ruan's face turned scarlet as she gave an unsettled response.

Jiang Yuecheng spoke up, “Miss Li, it's a crime to give false statements. We will investigate this, and if we find that you're hiding something—”

Jiang Yuecheng dragged his words and Li Ruan's face had already turned pale before he could finish the sentence. “The… The colleague I mentioned that resigned is real. We got along quite well but… Wei Guangzheng had indeed approached me.”

Li Ruan gritted her teeth and spoke in a low voice, “It was because of my colleague's example that I didn't dare to resign. I could only give in to his demands only to find out that was the beginning of my nightmare.”

Li Ruan's expression was filled with anger, “He's a beast! No, he's worse than a beast! My biggest regret in this life is to have entered Weihao.”

“The scenarios you were describing earlier was what he did to you,” Qi Youxuan said with full confidence.

Li Ruan kept silent for a long time before finally nodding her head reluctantly.

“It was a nightmare!” Li Ruan screamed with anguished, “His death is justice. This is his karma. He deserves to die horribly. This way no one else can be destroyed by him.”

Wei Muran consoled her and then asked her for information about the employees in the company that had a thing with Wei Guangzheng. At the same time, Wei Muran a.s.sured her that the victim's privacy will be protected. Only then did Li Ruan relaxed and left.

Yang Shaozhan pulled out photographs and personal information of those female employees and Qi Youxuan took a look.

“I remember in the Mêdog county trip photo with the five people, there were two females in there. One of them should fit Wei Guangzheng's beauty standards.” Qi Youxuan had learned from the earlier mistake. He dared not directly mention that one of them looked good.

Even if he did not mean anything else and Wei Muran was not showing any hint of anger, it was better to err on the side of caution.

“This one?” Zhang Ming pointed at a woman wearing pink sportswear in the photo while putting on an expression of 'I'm not sure, I don't think so.' That managed to trigger Qi Youxuan, and he almost was unable to hold back from slapping him right there and then.

“Go investigate her situation,” Qi Youxuan said through gritted teeth, and proceeded to explain, “I feel that she looks similar to Li Ruan and those female employees. They're all innocent looking but vying for a chance to climb up the ranks, unsatisfied with their current situation. Even though Li Ruan claimed that she was coerced into it, she forgot that her colleague would rather resign and work in a different state rather than submitting to Wei Guangzheng. Why couldn't she do the same? That's because she felt that moving out for work had less potential compared to B City, causing her to be unwilling to give up the perks of being in B City. In truth, no matter how great Wei Guangzheng can be, he's only a rich kid. His powers are limited. If she really wanted to retaliate, it wasn't impossible. It's just a matter of how she feels about it.”

“Gong Yanfei.” Qi Youxuan pointed at the woman in pink sportswear in the photo. “The sportswear she's wearing can be considered branded, but she's still young. According to the information Yang Shaozhan found, she had barely graduated high school when she joined the Mêdog county cycling trip last year. She had already gotten University C's admission letter and joined that cycling trip as a celebration. Only the eye-catching sportswear she had on her was branded. Meanwhile, her helmet, wrist guards, and sungla.s.ses were all cheap stuff bought online. She's from an average family but loves luxury brands. She loves to read fas.h.i.+on magazines and watch how the celebrities dress themselves, and would then make online purchases of similar styles to mimic them. However, due to her unwillingness to purchase ripoff copies, even though the helmet and other accessories were cheap, they weren't cheap copies of name brands.”

“She loves these things, yet was unsatisfied with her current situation, hoping for more and better stuff. She also had an innocent look. These are all traits that fit the other female victims that Wei Guangzheng laid his hands on.”

Qi Youxuan barely finished explaining when Zhao Yiyang returned.

He rushed in excitedly with an expression that screamed, 'ask me, ask me quick!'

“…” Jiang Yuecheng sipped his tea and said calmly, “Just say it.”

Zhao Yiyang rolled up his sleeves, took a sip of tea and said, “Mêdog county trip is definitely fishy.”

Xing Jiadong unreservedly rolled his eyes at him and said, “That's for sure. We know that already. Do we need your explanation?”

Zhao Yiyang paid him no heed, then looked at the five persons' group photo on the table, picked it up, and pointed at Gong Yanfei. “That five-person trip to Mêdog county, only four returned. Gong Yanfei died along the way. On the Szechuan-Tibet highway, they had an accident when they reached a bridge. At that time, Gong Yanfei was cycling right behind a truck and fell off the bridge with it before reaching Lhasa. At that time it was also reported in the news. Quite a number of cyclists met a similar fate.”

“I somehow feel that Gong Yanfei's death is not as simple as that,” Zhang Ming stated.

“Exactly.” That response was from Zhao Yiyang instead of Qi Youxuan. “Do you know who is Gong Yanfei's father?”

“For heaven's sake, just get to the point,” Xing Jiadong urged.

“You won't believe this. Her father was the dorm keeper, Li Niancheng,” Zhao Yiyang said, full of himself. “Gong Yanfei's mother and Li Niancheng had divorced. Her mother gained custody of Gong Yanfei and remarried. Gong Yanfei took up the last name of her stepfather. However, Gong Yanfei got along well with Li Niancheng all the while. Gong Yanfei's mother divorced Li Niancheng because of his lack of achievements. Although Gong Yanfei yearned for name brands, she didn't find her father repulsive. Even though she was ruled to be under the mother's custody, she still interacted frequently with Li Niancheng, seeing him at least once a week without fail.”

Jiang Yuecheng responded quickly, “Let's go find Yao Shangfeng immediately!”

“Yao Shangfeng moved to Lijiang after he returned from the Mêdog county trip and opened up a small bar over there,” Zhao Yiyang explained.

“Make a phone call to University A and ask if Li Niancheng is there,” Jiang Yuecheng urged.

Just as Jiang Yuecheng was giving out orders, Zhang Ming had already made the phone call. After a short conversation, he quickly ended the call and hurried, “After we finished questioning Li Niancheng that day, he hadn't shown up at the university from the next day onward.”

“Captain Jiang, there are flight records of Yao Shangfeng arriving at B City at eleven at night yesterday,” Yang Shaozhan replied immediately.

“Go find out if Li Niancheng purchased any plane or train tickets to Lijiang,” Jiang Yuecheng directed them in a hurry.

Very quickly, Xing Jiadong voiced out, “It's verified that he had indeed purchased plane tickets to Lijiang, and he also purchased another ticket to return from Lijiang today.”

“If it's Li Niancheng, then this incident would make sense. During Feng Haoli's death, the students claimed that the boys from the same dorm didn't leave the dorm. Furthermore, the dorm gates were closed and the windows on both sides of the walkway had reinforced gla.s.s. It was impossible for someone outside to break in. If the students within the building aren't suspects, then there's only Li Niancheng remaining. As the dorm keeper, he fits the bill. That was why when we asked if he heard anything in the middle of the night his answer was no. Even if there were any sounds, it was made by him,” Zhang Ming elaborated.

“Zhang Ming, you bring along Jiadong and head to Li Niancheng's house. I'll take Yiyang and Muran along to Yao Shangfeng's house,” Jiang Yuecheng said. “If we're lucky, perhaps we can get him right at his own place.”

Zhang Ming and Xing Jiadong left. Due to his relations.h.i.+p with Wei Muran, Qi Youxuan eagerly requested to follow along.

The trio reached Yao Shangfeng's house. Yao Shangfeng was not surprised when he saw them showing their police doc.u.ments.

Yao Shangfeng invited them into the house, and then calmly said, “I thought that as long as I came back, you'll definitely look for me.”

“You know that the reason we came looking for you is regarding Feng Haoli and Wei Guangzheng's death right?” Jiang Yuecheng replied.

Yao Shangfeng was visibly stunned for a moment, and then pointed weakly at the sofa, “Have a seat.”

“What happened during the Mêdog county trip?” Wei Muran asked.

Yao Shangfeng's expression showed that he was struggling, gritting his teeth indecisively.

“You better tell us the truth. There are already two murders and the next one will be you,” Jiang Yuecheng stated. “The suspect booked a ticket to Lijiang yesterday, yet he immediately purchased a returning ticket today. I think you know why, right? You just came back yesterday. He traveled there and realized that you're back, so he followed you straight back. It's obvious that you're the next target. No matter how you hide, he's out to get you. Are you planning to hide your entire life?”
