Chapter 1045 - 1043: Changing Faces

Yang Yunhai drove Gu Lingling to the detention center, and after completing the procedures, they finally saw Liu Miao.

After a few days without seeing her, Liu Miao seemed much more haggard than before. However, upon seeing Gu Lingling, her eyes brightened and she hurriedly took two steps forward, only to be halted by Yang Yunhai’s icy gaze.

This man is truly terrifying.

Yet, he is only gentle with one person, and that person is Gu Lingling.

In the past, Liu Miao was quite dissatisfied; otherwise, these things wouldn’t have happened later.

But the more she experienced, the more she understood that neither she nor Gu Lingling were the same as a few years ago.

Over these years, Gu Lingling has grown so much, while she has been stuck in jealousy and hatred, missing one opportunity after another.

In the past few days, Liu Miao has thought a lot while in prison.

From the first time she played with Gu Lingling as a child, to being bribed by Gu Juan to spy on Gu Lingling, and later to the transformer factory incident, although Gu Juan was involved, ultimately it was her own rotten roots.

If it weren’t for jealousy, if it weren’t for coveting the little benefits Gu Juan offered, if it weren’t for her increasingly twisted psyche, how could she have done those things?

"Speak, what do you want from me?" Seeing her hesitating, Gu Lingling said.

"Can I talk to you alone?" Liu Miao glanced at Yang Yunhai and said.

"I don’t have anything that he can’t know." As Gu Lingling spoke, she was about to stand up. "If you don’t want to talk, then forget it."

"No, I’ll talk, I’ll say it all." Liu Miao wanted to grab her hand, but was stopped by Yang Yunhai’s gaze, awkwardly withdrawing her hand and sitting opposite the table.

Her hands clenched and relaxed on her thighs.

"I know where Gu Juan is." She began to speak with her head down.

"Gu Juan later became pregnant again, the child is Zheng Peng’s, but Zheng Peng won’t acknowledge it," Liu Miao continued.

Zheng Peng refuses to recognize the child as his, thinks the child should be Zhou Ting’s, and is overwhelmed with the matters of the Zheng Family.

Gu Juan has no way out, so she goes to a small clinic intending to abort, but later she somehow meets a man, and after being saved by this man, she follows him,

Eventually living a glamorous life for a while, but soon disappearing.

"That man is not simple," Liu Miao said, "He keeps inquiring about the transformer factory, and some munitions factories in Qin City. As long as it’s a big establishment, he asks about it."

Don’t ask Liu Miao how she knows this, since the day Gu Juan set her up, she has been having someone follow Gu Juan.

Naturally, that man also became her target.

"Later, the two of them ran away together," Liu Miao said.

These things seem to have no impact on Gu Lingling.

"But after I got out of prison, I saw that man once more," Liu Miao said, "He’s back, and Gu Juan should have returned as well."

However, she hasn’t seen Gu Juan, and that man, she wants to find him again, but can’t.

"Is that all you’re going to say?" Gu Lingling asked.

Is this what she calls a secret?

Seems to be nothing of value.

"No, not just that." Liu Miao glanced at Yang Yunhai again at this point, "Gu Lingling, do you believe people can change their faces?"

What does she mean?

Gu Lingling clenched her hand tightly.

"I think Gu Juan must have changed faces, that’s why I couldn’t find her."
