Rose of Heaven

169-170

    When Zhou Fei called Lin Jingmo to thank her the next day, Lin Jingmo was still thinking about what happened last night.
    Zhou Yanzheng said that he would not go to the boxing gym again, and he also said this to Lin Jingmo again.
    Faced with his questioning, Lin Jingmo didn't know how to respond, but unconsciously rubbed his injured finger with her backhand, from the first joint to the third joint, she distracted herself to think about where he was injured at that time.
    But her silence was already a response to Zhou Yanzheng.
    No matter what the process was, the result was that she didn't want to be with him.
    Zhou Yanzheng's heart was indescribably agitated, and some bad thoughts popped up. He had ten thousand ways to get Lin Jingmo back to him, why not? But his fingers were gently soothed, and the wounds that had long been healed were slightly painful. Zhou Yanzheng closed his eyes. He didn't want to force her after all, so he let Lin Jingmo go and told her that she didn't need to come tomorrow because he wouldn't come.
    He knew she would keep her word. If he was a little more selfish, he could see her every day. But there were all kinds of people here. After a few days, Zhou Yanzheng knew how chaotic it was. It was not a place she should come to.
    Lin Jingmo hesitated to speak, but in the end she said nothing. When she left, Zhou Yanzheng looked at her back. For Lin Jingmo, this night she lifted a corner of Zhou Yanzheng's perfect mask and saw a Zhou Yanzheng beyond her impression. But from Zhou Yanzheng's point of view, it was the same feeling.
    There seemed to be many things about her that were kept secret.
    ...
    Lin Jingmo rented the house where Liu Tianmei lived before her death, and deliberately used her ID card. She wanted to fish, but she didn't expect that the first person she caught was Cheng Yaosi.
    A few days ago, two colored diamonds were auctioned by the same mysterious Chinese buyer at the Sotheby's auction in Geneva. The two diamonds totaled 380 million. The circle of wealthy ladies and celebrities who like to pay attention to the news of top jewelry on the Internet was lively for a while, and they speculated which beauty would eventually appear on the fingers of these two diamonds.
    After several days of extremely safe transportation, the two colored diamonds now lay in front of Cheng Yaosi. He picked up the blue one, and the girl's face when she asked him for the jewelry at that time came to his mind.
    Whether Lin Jingmo was Tianyu's girlfriend or she had some flaws in her nature, it was not enough to make him toss and turn and worry about it. The only thing was that he didn't want to see her as a substitute for Gu Ci'en, but he couldn't resist the throbbing and pleasure she brought him. He tried to temporarily forget the entanglement that tortured him and obey his inner wishes and choices, but that day when he learned that Lin Jingmo's birthday and Gu Ci'en's death anniversary were on the same day, Cheng Yaosi was hit hard by the hammer of fate.
    Gu Ci'en died miserably. The death report said that the car accident happened before nine o'clock in the evening, but Gu Ci'en died at four in the morning. In the middle of the winter night, he couldn't imagine what it felt like for her to bleed to death, gradually lose temperature in the dark, and then be dragged into hell.
    And on the same day, it was Lin Jingmo's new birthday.
    Although the years were different, the impact on Cheng Yaosi was the same.
    When she was alive, he had never liked her openly for a single day. After she died so pitifully, he had to transfer this love to another person, whose birthday was exactly the anniversary of her death.
    He almost heard Gu Ci'en's sneer at him.
    Of course, he would never hear it.
    He had never even dreamed of her before, no matter how much he missed her.
    But after meeting Lin Jingmo, he often dreamed of her. Except for that erotic dream, he would occasionally return to high school in his dreams. He saw himself returning the diary to her, but he was still too shy to confess his feelings. He just gave her a green rose every day and filled her desk with green roses until it could not be filled.
    At first, he didn't think so, but now, Cheng Yaosi couldn't help but wonder, is she dissatisfied?
    Cheng Yaosi couldn't stop this association.
    So, he fled in a panic and asked his assistant to send a check to Lin Jingmo.
    As for the diamond, he also had to give it to her. He had promised and he would not break his promise.
    The phone rang, and Cheng Yaosi picked it up absent-mindedly. On the other end, Xie Lin's tone was serious.
    "Yao Si, do you remember that I told you before that Chen Xingchen had a prostitution industry chain that was suspected of forcing a girl named Liu Tianmei to death?"
    "Yeah."
    Cheng Yaosi responded.
    "The apartment where Liu Tianmei lived before her death was rented out. Guess who it was?" Although he asked Cheng Yaosi, he couldn't wait to reveal the answer before he answered: "It's the girl you asked me to investigate, Lin Jingmo. I have a guess now, which may be a bit bold, but the logic is very reasonable. I don't know if you have seen the information I sent you..."
    Cheng Yaosi asked Xie Lin to help him investigate Lin Jingmo before, in order to find out whether she had encountered bad things during her growth, so that she would take the path she is now. But after the investigation information was given, he read the first paragraph of her birthday information and didn't want to read it anymore.
    At this time, listening to the important discovery from Xie Lin's mouth, Cheng Yaosi took out the stack of information in the drawer and opened it again.
    "There was nothing special about this girl before she came to Donggang. After she was admitted to Donggang University, you can see how she made friends. First, she met Tianyu, and later she met Ye Zhongxu through Ye Nannan. She went to Yu Wan's body shape class and became friends with Yu Wan. Later, she had a head-on conflict with Chen Xingyan when she was interviewing for an advertisement shot by Ye Zhe, which led to a ban on Chen Xingyan's reputation. They are nothing special when viewed individually, but these people have common characteristics. They have direct or indirect relationships with the siblings Chen Xingchen and Chen Xingyan. I didn't notice it at first because I didn't know the role of Ye Zhongxu. Yesterday, I asked someone to check it out. Chen Xingyan went to a military art performance. Ye Zhongxu was the highest-ranking officer in that performance. Later, Qianjiang Technology provided drones to the Eastern Military Region. There should be some story in between."
    "Lin Jingmo's bank statements show that she transferred money to Liu Tianmei's mother. Liu Tianmei and Lin Jingmo have no obvious intersection, but she once served as a public welfare promotion ambassador for Lin Jingmo's province and city, and lived in the local area for a week. So we assume that Liu Tianmei has helped Lin Jingmo in some way, or there is something unknown, and Lin Jingmo knows that Liu Tianmei's death is related to Chen Xingchen, so she was admitted to Donggang.
    "The first step she took was to get to know Tianyu, because Tianyu and Chen Xingchen had investment business dealings and may want to use this to get to know Chen Xingchen. The second step was to get to know Ye Zhongxu through Ye Nannan, and find a way to keep Ye Zhongxu away from Chen Xingchen and his sister. This step is to solve the social support for Chen  Xingchen. Then, she got in touch with Yu Wan, formed an alliance with Yu Wan, and then replaced Chen Xingyan's position as the muse in Ye Zhe's eyes, causing Chen Xingyan's public support to plummet. In addition, her neighbor Zhou Yanzheng is not a simple university teacher, his father is Zhou Hao, who died a few days ago. Zhou Yanzheng is very likely to inherit his father's position and become the underground emperor of Donggang. Zhou Yanzheng once chased to Neon to save her. At this step, he even prepared a gun..."
    The name Zhou Hao is very common, but if they mention it, they all know who these two words refer to.
    Cheng Yaosi flipped through the investigation materials page by page, and what Lin Jingmo said gradually overlapped with Xie Lin's endless speculation.
    She said under the ruins-"No one, referring to. Those who think that they have more power in their hands, they can control the fate of others, and only they should live well, and others deserve to be ants and be stepped on. "
    The voice was calm, but it was clearly full of hatred.
    So, all that she did, her deliberate planning and calculations, all the disapproval and prejudice in his eyes, were all done to help others get revenge?
    "I am not myself either."
    She once revealed a trace of difficulty in front of him, and quickly found other words to cover up her cautiousness.
    The bitterness that occasionally flashed in her smile, and the tears when she touched the murals in the Kongshan Temple.
    Cheng Yaosi seemed to have something stuck in his throat, his fingers trembled slightly, and the information between his fingers also shook.
    "And she rented Liu Tianmei's house. I went to see it. There were residues of luminol reagent in the room. This reagent is specially used to detect traces of cleaned blood. I don't know whether to say she is smart or brave. I didn't even think of going to test it... The only unreasonable thing about this speculation is that she and Liu Tianmei have too few open interactions, which is not enough to support her to spend so much effort to help her get revenge, but if there are some things we don't know, add them up, and this speculation is reasonable."
    "By the way, why do you want to investigate this girl? You already knew that she has some questions..."
    "I like her."
    Cheng Yaosi interrupted Xie Lin.
    "Because I like her."
