Lu Sheng initially thought that Gu Siyu’s WeChat profile picture would be a selfie showing her face or figure, but it actually wasn’t.
It was just a cute cartoon sun pattern.
The accompanying bio was simple too, "Face towards the sunlight," followed by a cute emoticon, making her seem like an ordinary college student.
There really was a contrast there.
It’s like when Gu Siyu came to see her tonight, dressed sexily and revealingly, one might think at first glance that she was a promiscuous, scheming woman.
But Gu Siyu would blush profusely from a single word or action, an embarrassment and shyness that couldn’t be faked.
This made Lu Sheng feel that Gu Siyu didn’t seem like the kind of person who would actively seduce someone else’s boyfriend and wreck other people’s relationships, yet she undeniably did just that.
So it seemed a bit strange.
After returning to her room, Lu Sheng stared at Gu Siyu’s WeChat for a moment—there were only two reasons Gu Siyu wanted to add her on WeChat.
Either it was for easier contact in the future, or she wanted her to discover something.
If it was about discovering something, that probably pointed towards... the Moments?
Indeed, after clicking into Gu Siyu’s Moments, the setting showed only the past month was visible.
The earliest update, however, was from half a month ago—a photo of a beautiful moonlit scene, captioned only with—[Turns out a heart flutter is really just a momentary thing.]
Half a month ago was exactly when Gu Siyu had just arrived in Jiang City.
Night, moonlight, heart flutter? Quite a suggestive Moment.
The second Moment after that was a photo of Beautiful Night perfume by Ases displayed on a counter.
The caption read [Came to pick a gift, and to my surprise, I found the Beautiful Night by Ases which I could never find before, this scent is simply intoxicating~]
Seeing this, Lu Sheng understood what Gu Siyu meant by letting her add WeChat.
She probably feared that Lu Sheng didn’t catch the scent earlier, so she straightforwardly presented the answer to guide her.
It wasn’t that she was afraid of Lu Sheng discovering, but rather that she was afraid Lu Sheng wouldn’t be able to discover.
The subsequent Moments were the same; both the pictures and the captions were vague and ambiguous.
If Lu Sheng looked with suspicion, she might directly conclude that Li Muchen was guilty of adultery.
These Moments... a half-month carefully crafted lie—was it truly from Gu Siyu’s own volition, or was she instructed by someone else?
Lu Sheng tilted her head, supporting her chin with her hand, her slender fingers tapping on her cheek, seemingly deep in thought.
Just then, Chen An sent a message: [Miss, the perfumer contacted me just now, she confirmed the brand and model of the perfume!]
Lu Sheng replied: [Ases’ Beautiful Night?]
Chen An, stunned by the response, replied: [!! Miss, are you a goddess?? How did you know?]
[I guessed.]
Miss, why didn’t you guess earlier [T▽T, we could have saved $100,000.]
Chen An joked, then quickly became serious.
He continued: [Miss, because President Li has been so busy recently that he often sleeps directly at the company, the shirt he was wearing that day was one I had just taken from the home wardrobe to the company’s resting room a few days ago.]
[I heard that this perfume tends to leave a long-lasting scent on fabric, so if the perfume was deliberately placed on the shirt, it’s unclear whether it was the work of the servants at home or someone from the office.]
[It shouldn’t be someone from home,] Lu Sheng thought for a moment and replied: [After the St. John’s wort in the pillow incident last time, didn’t you check all the servants at home and kept only those we can trust?]
[If not from home, then it must be someone at the office, check who has access to Li Muchen’s resting room. Since it’s the president’s office and the resting room is meant to be private, there should be very few who can enter.]
Chen An said: [Right, Miss! You reminded me! There’s a safe in President Li’s resting room where important documents are kept, so I previously installed a hidden camera there, known only to me and President Li.]
[Although the camera is aimed at the safe, not sure if it could catch the person who touched the wardrobe, but at least we have a clue now. I’ll hurry and check it out to find out who wants to frame President Li!]
[Alright.]
After chatting with Chen An, Lu Sheng thought for a moment and then sent a message to Huo Yu: [Have you gone to sleep?]
She remembered that although Huo Yu was a genius hacker skilled in various electronic devices, he seldom looked at his phone.
However, for some reason, whenever Lu Sheng messaged Huo Yu, he almost always responded instantly.
