Chapter 68: The Ruthless Woman Actually Plans To Abandon Turtle
Si Heng looked at Meng Xiaokai and said solemnly, “Have Xiao Xu contact the person in charge of Wutong Apartment and ask if there are any residents who fit the description.”
“Received,” Meng Xiaokai immediately sent the suspect’s characteristics to Xiao Xu.
Jiang Yuan’s face showed contemplation, and she suddenly thought of something. She looked at the red-eared slider again.
It lazily closed its eyes, as if it were asleep.
She reached out and slowly stroked its shell, asking in a gentle voice, “Good turtle, have you ever seen three people appear in the house at the same time?”
The red-eared slider blinked its eyes and said excitedly, “Family, who understands? It’s been so long since anyone has petted the turtle like this!”
Jiang Yuan: “…”
She stopped and repeated what she had just said.
The red-eared slider stretched its neck to look at her, a little shy, “Um… if the turtle answers your question, can you pet it again?”
Petting the turtle’s shell was a small matter for Jiang Yuan. She pursed her lips and smiled, “Of course, so have three people appeared in the house at the same time?”
The red-eared slider answered crisply, “Of course they have!”
Jiang Yuan: “Are these three people Qiu Ailin, Xiao Tao, and Dai Ruofei?”
“Dai Ruofei?” The red-eared slider was stunned for a moment, “Are you talking about that short-haired female two-legged beast who spoke to you today?”
“Yes,” Jiang Yuan nodded quickly, “It’s her. Is she here?”
“Of course she is! This short-haired female also told the male a lot about females!” The red-eared slider wasn’t sleepy that day, so it had a deep impression of this matter.
Jiang Yuan’s eyes brightened slightly, and her clear voice was tinged with a bit of anticipation, “Turtle, can you remember what she said? Was it good words or bad words?”
Meng Xiaokai saw this, his face full of uncontrollable curiosity, “Miss Jiang, what did the turtle say?”
Jiang Yuan: “The turtle told me that Dai Ruofei told Xiao Tao a lot about Qiu Ailin.”
Meng Xiaokai’s eyes lit up instantly, “Then quickly ask.”
The red-eared slider crawled back and forth in front of Jiang Yuan, “The turtle feels it probably wasn’t anything good.”
It fell into memory.
Qiu Ailin was not at home that day. When Xiao Tao rang the doorbell, he woke up Dai Ruofei, who was sleeping at home after her night shift.
She got up to open the door, her face unpleasant, and yelled, “Are you annoying! Qiu Ailin is not here!”
As Dai Ruofei was closing the door, Xiao Tao reached out to hold it open and asked worriedly, “Are you Ailin’s roommate? Do you know what’s wrong with Ailin recently? I’ve been messaging her and she hasn’t replied.”
Hearing this, Dai Ruofei suddenly had a thought. She examined Xiao Tao, “What’s your relationship with Ailin?”
Xiao Tao replied, “I’m pursuing her.”
Dai Ruofei smiled sarcastically, “Pursuing her? You?”
Xiao Tao’s face darkened, “What, I can’t pursue her?”
“You won’t be able to,” Dai Ruofei turned and walked into the living room.
Seeing that the door was not closed, Xiao Tao followed her in, his tone revealing dissatisfaction, “What do you mean? What do you know to say I can’t pursue her?”
“There are plenty of rich people pursuing Qiu Ailin. Do you know why she hasn’t replied to you these past two days?” Dai Ruofei sat on the sofa, crossed her legs, and said with a teasing look, “She’s dating another man, of course she doesn’t have time to reply to you.”
“Impossible!” Xiao Tao didn’t believe it, “Ailin isn’t that kind of casual girl!”
Dai Ruofei rolled her eyes, “Believe it or not.”
Although he didn’t believe it, the matter still planted a seed of doubt in Xiao Tao’s heart.
After the red-eared slider finished saying this, it stopped in front of Jiang Yuan, “Family, the turtle is so thirsty from talking.”
Jiang Yuan had an idea, picked up a slice of apple, and fed it, smiling and praising, “Turtle, you’re amazing, you’re the smartest turtle I’ve ever seen.”
The red-eared slider was very happy to be praised and provided a lot of useful information.
Meanwhile, the delivery person delivered Qiu Ruolin’s dry-cleaned designer clothes to Wutong Apartment.
Dai Ruofei received the items and directly started trying them on in her room.
She was wearing a black Chanel dress, her waist cinched, and she stood in front of the mirror admiring herself, her eyes full of pride.
Previously, she was going on a blind date and wanted to borrow designer clothes and bags from Qiu Ailin to save face. Not only was she severely rejected, but she was also met with sarcastic mockery.
At that time, Dai Ruofei was furious, and her dislike for Qiu Ailin turned into resentment.
Now that Qiu Ailin was dead, she didn’t need to borrow and could directly take possession of them.
It was truly a good death!

Xiao Xu walked to Si Heng’s workstation with a document and said in a low voice, “Boss, we didn’t find any residents fitting the suspect’s description at Wutong Apartment. This is the resident information.”
“Okay,” Si Heng took the document and said lightly, “You take Jiang Yuan home first.”
“Okay,” Xiao Xu turned and walked towards the conference room, “Miss Jiang, the boss asked me to take you back.”
Hearing this, Jiang Yuan blinked her eyes and smiled, “No need, I can take a taxi back.”
She glanced at the red-eared slider in the water, “Turtle, I’m going home.”
The red-eared slider slowly looked up at her, seeming a little confused, “What, you’re not planning to take the turtle home?”
“Ah?” Jiang Yuan looked at it in surprise, “You want to come home with me?”
The red-eared slider began to sigh again, “Family, who understands? This heartless woman actually plans to abandon the turtle…”
Jiang Yuan: “…”
Why call it abandonment, it’s so serious?
The red-eared slider was angry and swam around in circles in the water, moving quite fast, unlike its lazy state just now.
“What’s wrong with the turtle?” Xiao Xu asked, a little curious, seeing it swim so fast.
Jiang Yuan: “It said I’m abandoning it, it might be angry.”
Xiao Xu looked at her, blinked her eyes, and suggested, “Then why don’t you take it back?”
Jiang Yuan met her gaze and blinked again, “Can I?”
Xiao Xu: “Shall I ask the captain?”
Jiang Yuan nodded, “Okay, then I’ll trouble you.”
“It’s nothing,” Xiao Xu said as she walked out of the conference room.
Jiang Yuan reached out and tapped the glass of the turtle tank, saying lightly, “Okay, little turtle, don’t be angry for now, maybe I’ll take you home in a while.”
The red-eared slider finally stopped, stretched its neck, and looked at her, “That’s more like it.”
Xiao Xu returned quickly, smiling, “Miss Jiang, the captain said you can take it back.”
Jiang Yuan raised her eyebrows slightly, and a smile tugged at the corner of her lips, “Okay, thank you. Just call me Jiang Yuan from now on.”
The red-eared slider looked at her expectantly, “Can the turtle go home with you?”
“Yes, yes!” Jiang Yuan picked up the turtle tank.
Xiao Xu quickly reached out, “Let me.”
Jiang Yuan shook her head and smiled, “It’s okay, it’s not heavy.”
Walking out of the conference room, she said hello to Si Heng and the others and left.
It was past three in the afternoon when she returned to Fuze Garden. Jiang Yuan saw Cao Laoting sitting at the stone table again, cracking sunflower seeds and glancing around.
The thought of her intentionally putting out rat poison to harm the family’s furball made Jiang Yuan angry.
Perhaps seeing the glass tank she was holding, Cao Laoting intentionally stuck out her foot to trip her.
Jiang Yuan was mentally prepared and stepped directly on it.
