C249 The Cause of the Setup

As long as the person who came back was Gu Zhengchu, Tao Ning couldn't help but want to hear something.

At this time, accompanied by a very soft sound, her door was pushed open and very light footsteps slowly approached.

It was Gu Zhengchu who came in. Tao Ning did not move and her eyes were tightly shut. Only her ears were still automatically helping her capture the sound.

Gu Zhengchu's footsteps stopped in front of her bed and did not move for a long time. He should be looking at her and Tao Ning did not dare to open her eyes. She found that there was a warm breath on her side of the face. It was getting clearer and clearer. It was not her imagination. After that, it was the soft lips landing on her forehead.

If she opened her eyes now, she would definitely be able to see Gu Zhengchu's face right in front of her. And it was precisely because she was worried about this that she kept her eyes tightly shut. She secretly gritted her teeth until Gu Zhengchu's footsteps faded away. The sound of the door being closed could be heard.

Tao Ning then opened her eyes and looked at the cabinet, chair, and tightly closed curtains in front of her, gasping for breath. Why did she feel that the moment just now was as difficult as a very long time had passed?

She could not figure out her own thoughts and also could not figure out Gu Zhengchu's thoughts.

After walking out of the room, Gu Zhengchu walked towards the study upstairs. He opened the door of the study and walked straight to the computer.

The screen of the computer showed the page he left on, but there must be something wrong with it. Otherwise, Tao Ning would not have acted so excited, and would not have brought any information with her.

But what was it? This was Huating's financial report. What kind of useful information could be found for her? Or was she ordered by someone to do this?

Gu Zhengchu landed on the chair and looked at the computer screen. His expression was uncertain. He dialed a number and went out. "Anjie, find someone proficient in computers for me."

Tao Ning pretended to sleep while waiting for the results of Shi Dingliang's investigation. Gu Zhengchu did not come in to disturb her again, but it seemed that Anjie had brought someone to find him. From the sound of the movement she heard, she could tell that the person had come, so she went straight to the study to look for Gu Zhengchu. As for why he had come, she had no idea.

Shi Dingliang was also very fast. Before the sky turned dark, he had already sent Tao Ning a few text messages to try his best to tell her the identities of the few people he had investigated.

The identities of these few people were more eye-catching than the others, especially the police chief. Tao Ning felt that her eyes were suddenly pierced by these few words. It hurt so much that she narrowed her eyes, but she still had to look down.

It was not wrong. These few people's identities were all people who had a relationship with the matter of her father being framed, both in the open and in the dark. Gu Zhengchu actually transferred the money to these people. What did that mean? There was no need to explain anymore.

He was the black hand!

Tao Ning's heart violently twitched. It was as if something had suddenly left her body. Her body could not bear the empty feeling of loss and was in pain.

Before she could delete the text message in her hand, the phone was tightly held in her palm until sweat oozed out. The call that suddenly came in gave Tao Ning a big fright.

After the call was connected, a warm voice quickly came from the other side, "Yue Er, what are you doing?"

After Tao Ning recovered from Wei Tingjun's voice, she used emotionless words to reply to him, "Nothing much. Is there anything you need from me?"

She did not ask too much and went straight to the point. This was her way of speaking. Moreover, it was very difficult for her to have any feelings for this nominal big brother of hers. It was very difficult for her to have any intimate words with him.

"Nothing much. I just miss you a little, Yue Er." Wei Tingjun paused for a moment before continuing to ask, "Yue Er, about your father..."

"Thank you for your concern." Wei Tingjun did not finish his sentence. She did not wait for him to finish and expressed the gratitude in her heart.

"The person who can do such a thing, Yue Er, have you ever thought about who it is?" Wei Tingjun asked with concern.

"I don't know. Who would someone like my father offend?" Tao Ning shook her head. She could not think of who her father would offend, just like how she could not understand why her father would offend Gu Zhengchu.

"Maybe he accidentally became someone else's chess piece and was used." Wei Tingjun said another possibility for her.

"What are you trying to say?" His words were vague, but it was clear that he was implying something.

"Yue Er, I said that I would respect your choice. I would never interfere with your life. However, Yue Er... Big Brother hopes that you can be more careful when looking at others. You must not be deceived by others." Wei Tingjun's voice was gentle, and he spoke slowly, as if he was trying to persuade her.

"Do you know something?" Was he hinting at her to see Gu Zhengchu's character clearly? Did he also have evidence to identify Gu Zhengchu?

If Gu Zhengchu really bribed others to frame her father, then the evidence in her hands could not prove anything. Gu Zhengchu could just say that he gave her a gift and pushed the matter aside.

After all, the matter of her father being framed had nothing to do with him. In terms of the overall situation, could it be considered as bringing negative news to Huating? What reason did he have to do this? So she really needed more direct evidence.

"Actually, Uncle doesn't really approve of your relationship with Gu Zhengchu. Do you know about this?" Wei Tingjun hesitated for a while before asking Tao Ning.

"Is that so? How did you know?" Her father opposed her relationship with Gu Zhengchu? If she didn't know about this, how did he know?

"Because Xue Bingya's mother, uncle's ex-wife, once looked for uncle. I hope uncle can persuade you to quit and help Gu Zhengchu and Xue Bingya." Wei Tingjun sighed. "Maybe Uncle still felt that you guys were not suitable, so he listened to Jiang Chiyue."

Was there such a thing? She really did not know, but how did Wei Tingjun know?

Perhaps he had sensed the doubt in Tao Ning's heart and did not wait for her to ask. Wei Tingjun's voice sounded, "Yue Er, actually I came into contact with uncle because uncle owes me a gambling debt. I was chased by a gambler and happened to meet him. After resolving that matter, I knew uncle was the one who brought Yue Er up. I had some dealings with uncle in private, so I accidentally found out about this matter."

"My father owes a gambling debt? He was chased by someone? " How was this possible? Her father is an honest person. He doesn't know how to gamble and he doesn't know how to gamble. How could such a thing happen?

In Tao Ning's ears, this was undoubtedly a fantasy. But what Wei Tingjun said after that made her unable to refute.

"Maybe it was because uncle drank some wine that day. Later on, he also said that when he went in, his mind was not clear."
