Mr. CEO Wants to Renew Our Contract-Chapter 902: With You Always (47)

"Nothing happens for no reason, Director Ma, what brings you here?"

Ma Shijie, looking somewhat displeased, replied, "Look at what you just said. I really just came to see you, nothing else. Over the years, Mr. Long has helped our police department handle many things we couldn’t manage. You used to help too. We are sincerely grateful. Visiting you is well-deserved."

"Don’t just stand there, sit down," Gu Lili instructed a servant to bring tea. "Director Ma, you look much more worn out than a few years ago."

"Don’t even mention it. There’s too much work, too much pressure. I feel like I’ve aged ten years," Ma Shijie said, rubbing his bald head. "Only this head remains as shiny as ever; the other parts are deteriorating. I see Miss Gu, you haven’t changed at all since a few years ago."

"How could there be no change? Taking good care of myself," Gu Lili chuckled lightly. "You haven’t been promoted yet?"

"Promote to where?" Ma Shijie said pessimistically. "I think I’ve hit the ceiling; there’s nowhere to move up. Staying like this is also good, doing something real for the people is better than anything. Up higher, I can’t handle all the scheming. I almost didn’t make it today; a female celebrity died at home an hour ago. Once it’s determined to be a suicide, there won’t be much to handle. If it were a homicide, there would be a lot to do."

Upon hearing this, Gu Lili asked curiously, "Who was it?"

"Sun Qianqian."

"Who?!" Gu Lili was genuinely surprised. "Sun Qianqian? How could it be her?"

"Yes, her. Her management company specifically told us not to say much, just to call it a suicide."

"Why did she commit suicide?"

"Based on what we know, there are three reasons: First, she was exposed by the media for, you know, with a sixty-year-old director surnamed Li in the car. After this was exposed, she lost a lot of weight. That’s just how things are in the entertainment circle. What happens privately is fine, but once exposed, there’s no face left, feels shameful. The second reason is what followed that revelation; her company shelved her, cutting off her financial resources entirely. And the last reason is conflicts with her family, all tangled in benefits. After drinking, she couldn’t see a way out, so she hanged herself in the bathroom."

Gu Lili felt a wave of pity, "She was so young."

"Yes, just over thirty, very young." Ma Shijie added, "By the way, she wrote a handwritten will before she died. Her company took it, and it supposedly mentioned something about Liang He. Isn’t Mr. Long friends with Liang He?"

"What did it say?"

"I didn’t look closely."

Gu Lili thought it must be on the news already, so she picked up the remote and turned on the TV. As soon as the screen came on, the broadcast was about Sun Qianqian’s suicide.

"According to Sun Qianqian’s handwritten will, it was confirmed that Liang He once quietly admired her, yet she disdained him. In her will, she stated that it was the most genuine affection she had ever received, but she did not cherish or seize it, letting happiness slip away quietly. She never regretted anything, except for this matter that had always weighed on her mind..."

While they were watching this news, Long Tianjiao was also following it. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

After all, everyone was discussing Sun Qianqian’s death; it was hard for her not to know.

She messaged Liang He, asking if he would respond to the matter.

Liang He replied he would say something about it on Weibo.

So, she refreshed Weibo, waiting for him to post.
