Chapter 705: Speculation
‘Could it be Cheng Che? No, Cheng Che was with me the entire time so it couldn’t be Cheng Che. Cheng Che’s worried expression was real. Then, could it be Mu Chen and the others? No, with Cheng Che’s pure personality, he would have wanted to personally save his girlfriend. He wouldn’t have been able to remain calm and have a meal with the Yin family. Who else could it be? Yin Jia?’
Guan Tang took a deep breath as she analyzed the situation. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novelenglish.net . ꜰire
Yin Jia had taken a strong interest in the long stretch of wall during her first visit. She had always been suspicious of Guan Tang and did not buy into Guan Tang’s kind act.
Guan Tang recalled that Yin Jia had seemed uneasy during the meal earlier. At that time, she had thought Yin Jia was worried about something going wrong during the meal and was keeping an eye on Ye Cheng. However, she was certain now that Yin Jia’s unease must have something to do with Jiahui.

Finally, Guan Tang concluded that Yin Jia was behind Jiahui’s rescue. However, she could not figure out how Yin Jia had pulled it off. Similar to her, Yin Jia had just moved to the city not long ago. Where did Yin Jia find the connections to pull something like this off? She wondered if Ye Cheng had helped Yin Jia. With the Ye family’s status and Ye Cheng’s job, it would indeed be easy for them to rescue Jiahui. However, why did they do it so quietly? With Yin Jia’s temper, Yin Jia would definitely stir up a huge commotion, making her lose all her credibility in front of the Yin family. Yin Jia would not let her go until her reputation was in tatters.
With these thoughts, Guan Tang began to doubt herself again.
‘So it’s not Yin Jia? Then, who else could it be? Yin Yi? No, she’s a fool. Who else? Who else?!’
Guan Tang curled up on the couch with her hands on her head.
‘Who was it?’
Guan Tang’s mind continued to spin like a merry-go-round. When it finally slowed down, a figure appeared in her mind: Zhuang Ning.
She had almost forgotten about Zhuang Ning among all the visitors she had received at her house. She recalled Zhuang Ning had gone to the bathroom and had even spilled water on the floor. It was possible that she discovered a leakage from the secret room. Humans were curious by nature. Zhuang Ning’s curiosity must have been aroused when she saw the leakage. Logically, Zhuang Ning should have asked about it, but she did not. Was it because Zhuang Ning only had Ye Cheng on her mind at that time or was Zhuang Ning hiding something?
Guan Tang recalled how Zhuang Ning did not take the bait and did not show up at the restaurant to ruin Ye Cheng and Yin Jia’s relationship. At that time, Zhuang Ning had told her she could not come because she had something to deal with. She had thought Zhuang Ning was a coward at that time.
Guan Tang quickly dismissed her suspicion. ‘So was it Zhuang Ning? No, impossible! Why would she do something like that? It’s impossible for her to know Jiahui. Why would she save someone she has never met before?’
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmGuan Tang quickly brought her phone out and dialed Jiahui’s number.
Xiao Peng, Zhuang Ning’s manager, answered the call.
“Hello, Miss Guan. Sister Zhuang Ning is in the midst of filming so she can’t answer your call. I’ll get her to call you back when she’s done.”
‘Zhuang Ning’s filming?’
Guan Tang’s heart skipped a beat as she asked, “Has she been filming all this time?”
Xiao Peng sighed and complained, “The second female lead in this movie had a sponsor. However, for some reason, she fell out with the sponsor and was removed from the movie. As a result, many scenes had to be reshot. Sister Zhuang Ning has been filming the entire day. I think she’ll be able to rest soon. I’ll get her to call you back when she’s done filming.”
After listening to these words, Guan Tang’s doubts were dispelled. Zhuang Ning had no connections to Jiahui, after all.
