Chapter 215 - Premeditated Murder II (1/2)

”Video?” Jiang Ruolan frowned as she remembered the high-definition video and beautiful photo that Xiong Ruogang gave her. Her face changed. ”Did you really do that?”

”No, the man and I are in the same field. He wanted to open his own media company and plans to report some business-related news. He has many professional friends by his side, and one of them happens to be able to capture photos and intimate videos of Ling Group's new chief manager, Wei Donghai.”

”He wanted to release the news, but before that, he asked my opinion. I said that I do not know whether this video should be released or not. I asked for his permission to send this video to be seen by you but after that, this video was spread mysteriously by his friends.” Xiong Ruogang wiped the tears from her face as she spoke. At the same time, she was stunned.

Xiong Ruogang turned her head and looked at Jiang Ruolan with her wide eyes. ”Sis Jiang, did you mean that this happened because of the video?”

”This is just my guess.” Jiang Ruolan lightly patted her hand, ”Don't be afraid. No matter what the reason, I will definitely try to help you find the culprit.”

Xiong Ruogang, on the other hand, was filled with grief and fear. Her eyes were empty as she stared blankly at Jiang Ruolan. ”So, I'm the one who harmed him. I caused his death!”

”No! Didn't you say that the one who spread this video was his friend. You only sent this video for me to see. The person who brought this terrible disaster to you is them! This is not your fault. Ruogang, do not blame yourself for this!”

Xiong Ruogang lowered her head and did not speak.

Jiang Ruolan sighed and hugged her, patting her shoulder. ”Listen to me, be careful when you go out after this. As for Wei Donghai, I will check about this. I think this matter has something to do with him.”

Jiang Ruolan remembered the photo she had seen at the time. The side face of Ling Group's new manager had once felt familiar to her. She had always felt that she knew him, but she did not remember where she had ever met him.

After calming down Xiong Ruogang, Jiang Ruolan told her to sit in the rest area and not move. She then got up and walked to the isolation room where Xian Zihao had gone earlier. Outside the isolation room stood two men from the Public Security Bureau.

Jiang Ruolan nodded her head to them. She knew that the medical examiner was inspecting the room and since it was inconvenient for her to go in, she didn't ask to take a look. She just waited outside quietly.

In less than 20 minutes, the door to the isolation room opened. Xian Zihao and the medical examiner walked out. After exchanging a few words, they walked towards Jiang Ruolan.

”Are you still feeling unwell? Since we are already here, I will take you to see a doctor.” Xian Zihao looked at her pale face and hugged her gently.

”No need, I'm fine. Maybe I'm just feeling carsick.” Jiang Ruolan turned down his offer and turned to the forensic doctor who was writing the report. She then asked him, ”What happened? Why did the medical examiner only come to examine the body after you arrived?”

Xian Zihao stared at her. He raised his hand and gently pushed the hair on her cheek behind her ear while whispering, ”Early suspicion that it was a premeditated murder. I believe you already heard everything from Xiong Ruogang. Keep it quiet for now. Leave the matter to me. Don't worry, hmm?”

”Xiong Ruogang said that police couldn't find the footage at the scene. It was said that the transportation department did not want to check it. They said that the camera at the crash site had been damaged for half a month.” Jiang Ruolan whispered.

”I already know.” Xian Zihao said calmly, ”I did not ask you who sent the video to you that day. Now that it has happened, there is no point in talking further. The business world is more complicated than you think. Even if you only report business reports, you have to be careful. Some of the consequences are not something that a small journalist can afford.”

How could Jiang Ruolan not know?

She nodded, but she was still a little worried. ”I'm afraid Ruogang is not safe. Zihao, can you arrange two people to protect her from the shadow. I'm afraid something bad will happen to her.”

”Sure.” Xian Zihao glanced at her, then turned around and signaled the two men from the Public Security Bureau to follow him out. He looked back to Jiang Ruolan and said, ”Accompanying her here for the time being. I will pick you up later.”

Jiang Ruolan nodded and looked at Xian Zihao's leaving figure. Her heart was calm beyond words. Thinking of Xiong Ruogang, she immediately went back to the lounge, only to find out that the girl was gone.

Jiang Ruolan hurried out to look for her, only to see that the victim's body had been pushed out of the isolation room by the doctor, completely covered by a white cloth. Xiong Ruogang was standing in the corridor, staring intently at the body without blinking.

She looked like she had lost her soul.
