Chapter 663: Chapter 663: I Hope You’ll Help Me This Time
Tang Li pushed open the dormitory door and nearly collided with Yu Sui.
Yu Sui did not expect Tang Li to return for the night. By her side was her boyfriend, with whom she had been in a relationship for several years, and also her childhood friend. At the moment, she was about to walk him downstairs.
Suddenly caught by Tang Li in this scene, Yu Sui’s ears turned red.
“Weren’t you staying at home?”
“There’s a special circumstance today,” Tang Li responded, her gaze shifting toward the young man, who appeared to be around their age. While not exceptionally handsome, his family background seemed to endow him with a decent demeanor and good manners.
Noticing Tang Li’s scrutinizing glance, the young man took the initiative to greet her.
Then Yu Sui said, “I’m going to see him out first.”
After saying this, she pushed her boyfriend towards the door.
Wu Xuehan was also in the dormitory. When she turned her head and saw that Tang Li had returned, after Yu Sui and her boyfriend left, she took off her headphones, came over to gossip with Tang Li: “It seems like they’re planning to get engaged over the summer break.”
This statement was confirmed after Yu Sui came back.
“I’ll send you guys a message when the time comes.” After speaking, Yu Sui blushed and went into the bathroom.
Half an hour later, Tang Li sent an inquiry message to Ji Ming.
Ji Ming replied that he had returned to Tan Palace.
Assured that nothing was wrong, she finally went to bed to rest.
The next morning, as soon as Tang Li woke up, she discovered an offline file on her cellphone. After receiving it, she leaned against the headboard to browse the file – it was a call record of a cellphone number.
A private detective wouldn’t send her anything useless.
Tang Li guessed that the number probably belonged to Ethan’s frequently used SIM card.
Indeed, on the first page was Lai Shengxia’s number.
According to the call record, they made at least one call a day.
The contact between Lai Shengxia and Ethan started recently, two days before Tang Li’s encounter with Ethan. As Tang Li continued to sift through the call records of the past three months, she no longer found Lai Shengxia’s number.
As for Ouyang Qian’s number, it never appeared in Ethan’s call records.
Which is to say, Ethan was a person Lai Shengxia had found.
Tang Li sent Lai Shengxia’s photo to [Takeshita warbler] on QQ, and since the other party was offline, she left a message: “I want to know the specifics of the relationship between Lai Shengxia and Ethan/Winter.”
As for the payment, Tang Li asked [Takeshita warbler] to send her the card number.
The other party worked so efficiently; naturally, she wanted to transfer the reward to them.
At noon, Tang Li did not receive a reply from the private detective but instead had an unexpected visitor.
Since it was the weekend, Wu Xuehan and the others were studying in the dormitory. When the knocking sound came, Tang Li, being the closest, got up to open the door.
When she saw that the visitor was Jiang Yiniing, Tang Li stood at the door and did not let her in.
Once a roommate, now Jiang Yiniing was the most meticulously dressed and fashionable among the four dorm mates. She was not wearing the same chiffon dress as yesterday, but a loose T-shirt paired with short suit shorts, her soft long hair draped over her shoulders, and around her neck a valuable Bvlgari spiral necklace.
Jiang Yiniing was there specifically to see Tang Li.
Seeing that it was Tang Li who opened the door, a slight smile formed at her lips: “I was worried Ah Li you might not be in, and I would have made a wasted trip.”
“Is there something you need me for?” Tang Li didn’t beat around the bush.
Jiang Yiniing lifted her hand to adjust a lock of hair beside her ear: “Here’s the thing, I recently got in touch with Mr. Winter, he wants to meet with me and has invited you to come along as well.”
While saying this, she looked at Tang Li sincerely, “I know you’re not interested in this role, just consider it as accompanying me to the audition. After all, we’re schoolmates; I hope you can help me out this once.”
