Chapter 250 - 241 Happy Birthday
No one knew where Chen Qi had gone. Some people said that a well-known online account was hers, specializing in reporting celebrity gossip. After Chen Qi disappeared, this account also went silent.
Later, Lin Dong came looking for Su Ronggui, waiting under the Chinese scholartree in front of the newspaper office.
Tu Hengsha had only met Lin Dong once, and that was the time he fought with Su Ronggui. The only impression left was of Lin Dong as a drunkard. Seeing him again, his appearance had not improved much from that night; his hair had not been cut in a long time, resembling a pile of dry grass, with a face full of stubble. At a glance, it was a head overgrown with weeds, so obscured that his features were unclear. He was very thin, with a hunched back, wearing clothes that hadn’t been changed for who knows how long, the cuffs marked by greasy stains. Getting closer, there was also an unpleasant smell emanating from him.
Gone was the arrogance of that day; he merely asked Su Ronggui where Chen Qi had gone.
Su Ronggui said, "I don’t know."
"Will she face criminal charges?" Lin Dong asked again.
"I really don’t know. If you’re keen on consulting someone, you could find a lawyer to ask. You should know more than we do," Su Ronggui spoke truthfully. No one knew what Chen Qi had actually done. The sparse information known was passed on by Su Rongxing, and whether his words were true or exaggerated, no one knew. Instead, it was Lin Dong who possibly knew the most.
Lin Dong nodded, stayed silent, and didn’t leave. He lowered his head in front of Su Ronggui. In terms of height, he wasn’t much different from Su Ronggui, but one stood tall and straight, while the other was hunched. The difference in demeanor was as stark as cloud and mud.
Tu Hengsha didn’t sympathize with him and pulled on Su Ronggui to leave. Only then did Lin Dong suddenly say, "It wasn’t a big deal, really, so why did she disappear? Taking photos of celebrities’ private lives is one thing, but it’s a willing trade. As for those rich men’s wives, they just wanted her to snap photos of their husbands’ infidelity..."
So, did Lin Dong still think Chen Qi’s disappearance was because of this?
Besides, wasn’t it Lin Dong who originally threatened Chen Qi with this?
