Clinging to Devoted Fiancé, Heiress Slays the World!-Chapter 715: Just like evaporating from the world, there is no news at all

The man let out a miserable scream, pleading in terror, "I-I’ll talk... I’ll tell you everything I know! Please, spare me..."

"Cut the crap. Speak up!"

Swallowing nervously, the man lying on the ground began to talk:

"Alright, alright..." The man trembled as he spoke, "The person I interacted with was heavily disguised, but I can confirm she’s a woman... Her accent sounded local to Rongcheng..."

A woman with a Rongcheng accent?

Cold, piercing light shot out from Gu Moqian’s eyes.

Who could this person be, daring to plot against Ji Wei’s life?

"Anything else?" Gu Moqian asked in a low, heavy voice.

The man swallowed again. "I also printed a copy of the transaction records. It’s in the metal box under the coffee table."

Gu Moqian immediately gestured to one of the bodyguards. The bodyguard quickly walked over, retrieved the metal box, and found the transaction records.

"Chen Ke, follow the information on these records and continue the investigation. You must track down that woman!" Gu Moqian instructed.

"Understood, Mr. Gu," Chen Ke responded.

"As for this one—" Gu Moqian cast a cold, sinister glance at the man groveling at his feet and spoke emotionlessly, "No need to leave him alive."

"No! Please, no! I’ve told you everything I know! Please don’t kill me! I’m begging you..." the man screamed in terror, trying to grab Gu Moqian’s pant leg.

But before he could touch him, the bodyguard twisted his arm with a single move.

The man fainted in excruciating pain.

Gu Moqian did not linger. He turned and walked out without looking back.

...

Back at the hospital, Gu Moqian had just stepped inside when he saw Xia Duoduo sitting by Ji Wei’s bedside, chatting with her.

He didn’t go in but went straight over to the sofa to start handling company affairs.

His calm and composed demeanor made it seem as though he’d only gone out for a quick smoke earlier.

Hearing movement, Xia Duoduo turned her head, glanced toward the outer room, and then leaned in closer to whisper, "Little Wei, have you and Mr. Gu reconciled? He’s not still seeing that vixen, is he?"

This mention reminded Ji Wei that she hadn’t seen Zhao Wanqing recently. She must have left Rongcheng.

A faint sense of regret stirred in her heart.

Zhao Wanqing was her cousin and might know something about her mother’s origins. At the airport back then, Ji Wei had been too angry to ask about her mother’s family background.

"Duoduo, it turns out we were mistaken... Miss Zhao is actually my cousin."

"Huh?"

Xia Duoduo’s mouth fell open in complete shock.

What kind of situation was this? How could the woman around Gu Moqian turn out to be Ji Wei’s cousin? 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

This connection was too surreal!

"Little Wei, are you sure? Couldn’t she have tricked you? That woman is ridiculously clever—she could definitely lie without batting an eye!"

It was no surprise Xia Duoduo was suspicious, given her poor impression of Zhao Wanqing.

But Ji Wei slowly shook her head. "It can’t be wrong. I saw the jade bracelet on her wrist—it’s identical to the one my mother had."

"Can you really decide her identity based on just a jade bracelet?" Xia Duoduo still refused to believe it.

The bracelet alone wasn’t enough, but from the moment Ji Wei first met Zhao Wanqing in the office, she’d felt a strange sense of closeness. That feeling couldn’t lie.

Plus, upon closer observation, Zhao Wanqing did resemble her mother slightly. That was why Ji Wei no longer had doubts.

Ji Wei smiled faintly and changed the subject: "By the way, didn’t you just say you’re joining a new film crew? What’s the drama about this time?"

"It’s a historical drama." Xia Duoduo seemed unenthusiastic. "The agent signed the contract without my approval. I don’t like the character at all—it’s a major villain. If the Great Demon King were here, he would never have done something like this without consulting me first."

Thinking of Ye Cheng, a hint of sorrow appeared in Xia Duoduo’s eyes.

Almost two months had passed. Ye Cheng seemed to have vanished into thin air, leaving no trace.
