Chapter 779: Recording

Editor: Henyee Translations

Recently, they had found a lot of information related to the incident from years ago, but it was scattered and chaotic, making it hard to piece together.

However, when Black Panther mentioned the surname “Su,” both of them immediately thought of someone.

“Let me take you to bathe and rest. I’ll handle the rest.” Lu Si placed the phone on the bedside table and lifted Mei Shu, heading to the bathroom.

If it were a few days ago, Mei Shu would have surely argued, but this time, she obediently followed Lu Si without a word.

Mei Shu didn’t know what Lu Si planned to do next, but in the following days, Lu Si became busier than before, often returning home late at night.

Since Lu Si had taken over the matter, Mei Shu couldn’t find any information about the “accident” and had to focus on the company’s affairs.

The police investigation had hit a dead end, with no progress. Online discussions persisted but had lost momentum compared to a few days ago.

At this time, someone took the initiative to come to Mei Shu.

When Auntie mentioned that Liu Yue was looking for her, Mei Shu subconsciously recalled what Tang Mei had said.

If Liu Yue had truly just kindly saved Tang Mei, he wouldn’t have said those words before leaving.

So, was he here for payment now?

Mei Shu suppressed her doubts and instructed Auntie to let him in.

Carrying a fruit basket, Liu Yue entered with a smile and greeted Mei Shu. “President Mei, feeling better?” Liu Yue’s smile seemed genuine. Mei Shu hadn’t paid much attention to him before because he was so low-key. It was only his proposal this time that revealed his true intentions.

If someone wasn’t well-versed in business matters, they might be persuaded by him, as he claimed to be acting in the company’s best interest.

“Much better,” Mei Shu said, and Auntie served Liu Yue a cup of tea. Sitting across from each other, Mei Shu smiled, “Thank you for your concern, Director Liu. Is there something important you’d like to discuss?”

Liu Yue said, “President Mei truly has keen insight. My proposal at the meeting was indeed rash. I’ve come to you because I know you’re investigating something from years ago. I happen to have some information that might help you and Master Si, so I’m here to make a deal with you.”

Mei Shu scrutinized him, not fully believing his words.

Seeing her doubt, Liu Yue took out his phone and tapped on it. Suddenly, a recording played.

“Are you sure this medicine can make that beast go berserk?”

The voice in the recording sounded familiar. Mei Shu recalled who it was.

It was Su Ling from her younger days.

Mei Shu looked up at Liu Yue in surprise.

Liu Yue smiled, “Ms. Mei, please continue listening.”

Mei Shu suppressed her astonishment and sat steadily across from them. In the recording, there was the voice of Su Ling and another man. Mei Shu wasn’t familiar with the man’s voice, but Su Ling’s voice became clearer as she listened.

The recording was lengthy, detailing the entire process of Su Ling and the man’s conspiracy.

At the end of the recording, Su Ling said, “It’s those two in the photo. When I hear about their deaths tomorrow, your final payment will be transferred to you.”

Mei Shu listened with trepidation. Su Ling was Lu Si’s aunt, his mother’s sister, but she seemed to have no emotional attachment to her sister, treating her like some kind of enemy.

Whenever Lu Si’s mother was mentioned, Su Ling’s tone turned malicious.

After listening to the recording, Mei Shu looked at Liu Yue. “What do you want?”

Liu Yue said, “My request is simple. I hope Ms. Mei can do me a favor and send my wife and child abroad.”

With that one sentence, Mei Shu understood something.

Liu Yue only mentioned his wife and child, not himself.

Why?

Because he didn’t want to leave the country?

That couldn’t be it. It was more likely that he knew he couldn’t leave.

“Did you have any involvement in the matter of Lu Si’s parents?” Mei Shu scrutinized Liu Yue, her gaze piercing, as if trying to see through him.

Liu Yue smiled, “I didn’t.”

Mei Shu furrowed her brow slightly. Did that mean he wasn’t involved in that particular matter, but there might be other things?

Mei Shu didn’t immediately agree. After all, she didn’t know the authenticity of the recording.

“Director Liu, allow me to think about it overnight. I’ll give you an answer tomorrow, alright?” Mei Shu spoke in a consultative tone.

Liu Yue glanced at her, his eyes showing a hint of understanding, as if he already knew what Mei Shu was thinking.

“Of course, Ms. Mei. Just give me a call when you’ve made your decision,” Liu Yue said with a smile.
