Chapter 68 The Heartless Woman Actually Plans to Abandon Turtle

Si Heng looked at Meng Xiaokai and said in a deep voice, "Have Xiao Xu contact the person in charge of Wutong Apartment and ask if there are any residents who match the characteristics."

“Received.” Meng Xiaokai immediately sent the suspect’s characteristics to Xiao Xu.

Jiang Yuan looked thoughtful, then suddenly thought of something and looked at the Brazilian tortoise again.

It lazily closed its eyes, looking as if it were asleep.

She reached out and slowly stroked the turtle's shell, asking gently, "Good turtle, have you ever seen three people in a house at the same time?"

The Brazilian tortoise blinked and exclaimed excitedly, "Family members, who understands this? It's been so long since anyone has touched a tortoise like this!"

Jiang Yuan: "..."

She stopped what she was doing and repeated what she had just said.

The Brazilian tortoise stretched its neck to look at her, somewhat shyly: "Um... if the tortoise answers your question, could you touch it again?"

Touching the tortoise shell was a piece of cake for Jiang Yuan. She smiled and said, "Of course you can. So, have three people ever been in the house at the same time?"

The Brazilian tortoise replied crisply, "Of course!"

Jiang Yuan: "Are these three people Qiu Ailin, Xiao Tao, and Dai Ruofei?"

“Dai Ruofei?” The Brazilian tortoise paused for a moment. “You mean that short-haired female biped who spoke to you today?”

"Yes." Jiang Yuan nodded quickly. "It's her. Is she here?"

"Of course! This short-haired female even talked to the male about many things related to females!" The Brazilian tortoise wasn't sleepy that day, so it remembered this incident vividly.

Jiang Yuan's eyes brightened slightly, and her clear voice was tinged with anticipation: "Turtle, can you remember what she said? Were it nice things or bad things?"

Seeing this, Meng Xiaokai's face was filled with barely suppressed curiosity: "Miss Jiang, what did the turtle say?"

Jiang Yuan: "Gui Gui told me that Dai Ruofei talked to Xiao Tao a lot about Qiu Ailin."

Meng Xiaokai's eyes lit up instantly. "Then ask him quickly."

The Brazilian tortoise crawled back and forth in front of Jiang Yuan: "Turtle thinks it's probably not something nice to say."

It was lost in memories.

Qiu Ailin wasn't home that day, and when Xiao Tao rang the doorbell, he woke up Dai Ruofei, who was catching up on sleep at home after working the night shift.

She got up and went to open the door, yelling angrily, "How annoying! Qiu Ailin isn't here!"

As Dai Ruofei closed the door, Xiao Tao reached out and held it shut, asking worriedly, "Are you Eileen's roommate? Do you know what's wrong with Eileen lately? I've been texting her but she hasn't replied."

Upon hearing this, Dai Ruofei suddenly had a thought. She looked Xiao Tao up and down and asked, "What's your relationship with Eileen?"

Xiao Tao replied, "I'm pursuing her."

Dai Ruofei laughed sarcastically: "Chase her? You?"

Xiao Tao's face darkened: "What, can't I pursue her?"

“You can’t catch her.” Dai Ruofei turned and walked into the living room.

Seeing that the door was open, Xiao Tao followed her in, his tone revealing his dissatisfaction: "What do you mean? What do you know to say I can't win her over?"

“There are plenty of rich men chasing after Qiu Ailin. Do you know why she hasn’t replied to you these past two days?” Dai Ruofei sat on the sofa, legs crossed, with a mocking expression. “She’s on a date with another man. Of course she doesn’t have time to reply to you.”

"Impossible!" Xiao Tao exclaimed in disbelief. "Eileen isn't that kind of girl!"

Dai Ruofei rolled her eyes. "Fine, don't believe me then."

Although he didn't believe it, this incident still planted a seed of doubt in Xiao Tao's heart.

After saying this, the Brazilian tortoise stopped in front of Jiang Yuan and said, "Family, the tortoise is very thirsty."

Jiang Yuan had a sudden inspiration, so she took a slice of apple and fed it, praising it with a smile: "Turtle, you're amazing! You're the smartest turtle I've ever seen."

The Brazilian tortoise was delighted by the praise and provided a lot of useful information.

Meanwhile, a delivery person brought several designer clothes that Qiu Ruolin had been dry-cleaned to Wutong Apartment. Dai Ruofei accepted the items and immediately tried them on in her room.

She was wearing a black Chanel dress, hands on her hips, admiring herself in the mirror, her eyes full of pride.

She was going on a blind date and wanted to borrow designer clothes and bags from Qiu Ailin to make a good impression, but she was not only rejected but also ridiculed.

At that time, Dai Ruofei was furious, and her dislike for Qiu Ailin turned into resentment.

Now that Qiu Ailin is dead, she doesn't need to borrow anymore; she can simply take it for herself.

Good riddance!

Xiao Xu approached Si Heng's workstation with a document and whispered, "Boss, we haven't found any residents at Wutong Apartment who match the suspect's characteristics. This is the resident information."

"Okay." Si Heng took the documents and said calmly, "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."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuan blinked and smiled, "No need, I'll just take a taxi back."

She glanced at the Brazilian turtle lying in the water. "Turtle, I'm going home."

The Brazilian tortoise slowly looked up at her, seemingly puzzled: "What? You're not planning to take the tortoise home?"

"Huh?" Jiang Yuan looked at it in surprise. "Do you want to come home with me?"

The Brazilian tortoise sighed again: "Family members, who understands? This heartless woman actually plans to abandon the tortoise..."

Jiang Yuan: "..."

Why is it being described as such a serious matter as abandonment?
The Brazilian turtle got angry and started swimming around in circles in the water, quite fast, unlike how lazy it had been before.

"What's wrong with the turtle?" Xiao Xu asked, curious as he watched it swim so fast.

Jiang Yuan: "It said I was going to abandon it, so it was probably angry."

Xiao Xu looked at her, blinked, and suggested, "Why don't you take it back?"

Jiang Yuan met her gaze and blinked, "Is it okay?"

Xiao Xu: "Shall I go ask the captain?"

Jiang Yuan nodded, "Okay, then I'll leave it to you."

"It's nothing," Xiao Xu said as he walked out of the conference room.

Jiang Yuan reached out and tapped on the glass of the turtle tank, saying calmly, "Alright, little turtle, don't be angry yet. Maybe I'll take you home in a little while."

The Brazilian tortoise stopped, stretched its neck, and looked at her: "That's more like it."

Xiao Xu returned quickly, smiling, and said, "Miss Jiang, the captain said we can take it back."

Jiang Yuan raised her eyebrows slightly, a smile playing on her lips: "Okay, thank you. You can just call me Jiang Yuan from now on."

The Brazilian tortoise looked at her expectantly: "Can I go home with you now, Tortoise?"

"Yes, yes!" Jiang Yuan picked up the turtle tank.

Xiao Xu quickly extended her hand: "Let me do it."

Jiang Yuan smiled and shook her head: "It's okay, it won't sink."

After leaving the conference room, she said goodbye to Si Heng and the others before departing.

It was past 3 p.m. when Jiang Yuan returned to Fuzeyuan. He saw Cao Laoting sitting at the stone table again, eating melon seeds, her eyes darting around.

The thought of her deliberately putting rat poison to harm the family's pets made Jiang Yuan furious.

Seeing that she was holding a glass jar, Cao Laoting deliberately stuck out her foot to trip her.

Jiang Yuan was mentally prepared and stepped on it directly.
