Chapter 704: Bai Shanshan Dies

After Xiao Wang and Xiao Zhang took Xiao Tong out, Old Master Gong immediately asked Gong Tianhao in a serious tone, “Have you caught the person behind Bai Shanshan?”
Gong Tianhao replied, “Yinxiong sent someone to monitor her. However, the person who monitored her reported that Bai Shanshan went to stay in a hotel and didn’t contact anyone. It’s just that there’s something wrong with her expression.”
“What’s wrong?” Old Master Gong asked in puzzlement.
“Her face is pale, and her entire body is trembling. She seems to be overly frightened and has fallen into a state of panic and uneasiness,” Gong Tianhao said.
Xiao Lingyu furrowed her brows slightly and asked in puzzlement, “Could it be because Bai Shanshan saw grandfather and Tianhao?”
“No,” Gong Tianhao immediately denied, “If this person is really Bai Shanshan, she wouldn’t be so frightened even if she saw grandfather and me. She had met grandfather and me when her aunt brought her over to the Gong Family in the past. She might be scared of us, but not to this extent.”
“This is strange.” Xiao Lingyu guessed, “Could she be frightened by the person behind her?”
Gong Tianhao’s eyes lit up, and he immediately said, “Yes, that’s very possible! Bai Shanshan was taken away right before the Gong and Jiang families. The person clearly has a certain amount of power and is very knowledgeable in psychology. They know our families very well. They manage to let us think that the other family has taken Bai Shanshan.”
Xiao Lingyu nodded and said, “You’re right.”
Gong Tianhao continued, “They took Bai Shanshan and turned her into Weng Jingjing so that she’d reappear before us.
“This person is really capable. They managed to turn Bai Shanshan into Weng Jingjing and even sneak her to me in Country M.
“If Situ Xing didn’t say that this woman had undergone plastic surgery, even I almost believed that she was Weng Jingjing. That’s because her tone and actions are somewhat similar to the real Weng Jingjing.”
Xiao Lingyu lowered her eyes and said with some doubt, “Bai Shanshan was trained. So the person behind her must be very familiar with Weng Jingjing.” At this point, Xiao Lingyu suddenly raised her head and guessed, “Tianhao, do you think the culprit could be Weng Jingjing?
“Even if it’s not, they have to be something very close to her.”
Gong Tianhao nodded and said, “Yes, Yu ‘Er, your guess is very reasonable. It seems that the direction of our investigation should be adjusted. We should start with Weng Jingjing.”
“We can’t let go of this lead on Bai Shanshan either!” Old Master Gong said very seriously, “To be able to kidnap Bai Shanshan right under our noses and turn her into Weng Jingjing shows how powerful this person is. They are able to locate you when you were in Country M too. They are very powerful. In China, not many are as powerful as that! We can start with them too!”
Old Master Gong believed the culprit was a ticking time bomb targeting the Gong family, or perhaps his grandson and his wife. He wouldn’t rest easy until the bomb was defused.
Gong Tianhao nodded and said, “Yes, grandfather, please don’t worry. I know what to do!”
Even if his grandfather didn’t remind him, he would still investigate these leads. He had to investigate the person behind Bai Shanshan and the group who tried to kidnap Xiao Lingyu in the capital, or else his wife and son’s safety wouldn’t be guaranteed.
After a while, Gong Tianhao and Xiao Lingyu walked out of the house. Xiao Lingyu tidied his tie and said, “Be careful!”
Gong Tianhao took her over and kissed her forehead. “Okay, wait at home. I’ll be back soon.”
Xiao Letong, who was standing outside, covered his eyes with both hands. However, he left big gaps between his fingers. He looked at his parents and said shyly, “Ah, I am not looking!”
Gong Tianhao and Xiao Lingyu, “…” How could he be so fake?
Gong Tianhao glanced at him and said unhappily, “You’re just a little brat. What do you know anyway?” Then, he said to Xiao Lingyu, “I’ll bring Bai Shanshan to the capital!”
“Okay!” Xiao Lingyu nodded. Suddenly, she thought of something and immediately pulled Gong Tianhao back to the house.
Old Master Gong, who had yet to leave, immediately asked in puzzlement, “Yu ‘Er, what’s wrong?”
Xiao Lingyu said, “I remember now. I have a way to find the girl who bumped into me at the airport. As long as I find that girl, I might be able to find the person behind this. So…”
Gong Tianhao frowned and immediately denied, “No, it’s too dangerous for you to go to the capital now.”
Xiao Lingyu insisted, “Xiao Ling left a trace of Qi on that girl. I’ll be able to track her down easily.
“Actually, when I went to the capital before, I also had the goal of finding that girl. However, the kidnapping forced me back to Taoyuan Village.” Back then, she was helpless. But now, it was different. She would be safe in the capital with Gong Tianhao beside her.
Old Master Gong frowned and thought for a moment before saying, “But, what if that girl isn’t in the capital anymore?”
Gong Tianhao thought for a moment before saying, “How about this? Yu ‘Er, I’ll investigate these two leads first and see if there are any other clues. When we really can’t find anything else, I’ll bring you to the capital.”
Old master Gong immediately agreed, “Yes, let’s do that. Yu ‘Er, it’s best if you don’t go to the capital for now. Let’s take a look at the situation first before making any decisions.”
Xiao Lingyu thought for a moment and nodded, “Yes, alright then.”
At this moment, Gong Tianhao’s phone rang.
Gong Tianhao picked up the phone, and his expression immediately changed. He said, “Yes, I understand. You need to preserve the scene!”
After Gong Tianhao hung up the phone, Xiao Lingyu asked, “Tianhao, what’s wrong?”
Gong Tianhao said seriously, “Bai Shanshan was assassinated in the hotel!”
“What?”
Old Master Gong and Xiao Lingyu were shocked.
Old Master Gong immediately scolded angrily, “Brat, what were you doing? How could you let this happen?” Then, he hit Gong Tianhao twice on his back with his crutch. “We finally found a clue, but it’s gone just like that,” Old Master Gong said angrily.
Xiao Lingyu said, “I’ll go with you to take a look!”
“No!”
“Okay!”
