Outside the door, a cat jumped over a flowerpot.
The long branches and leaves of the tree drooped onto the window, swaying in the wind. The shadow on the ground did resemble a human figure.
"It's a cat."
Wang Siwei cast a timid glance at his mother, whose expression was grim.
Xu Rong gripped his hand tightly, suspiciously scanning their surroundings before turning back into the room.
Around the corner, Su Ding let out a quiet sigh of relief.
Fortunately, she had reacted quickly.
From the conversation between mother and son, she gathered that the child had been present at the wedding, had contact with Wang Yan, and that the subsequent car accident and accidental death occurred later.
She needed to find a way to question the child.
Su Ding tiptoed her way to the study on the second floor, Wang Yan's usual haunt.
The villa's servants had all retired, and the corridor was empty.
She pushed the door open, stepped inside, and quietly closed it.
Using the residual light, she surveyed the study. It was slightly disheveled, showing no signs of being cleaned, presumably the scene immediately after Wang Yan's departure.
Su Ding put on gloves and first placed the laptop on the desk into her backpack. Then, she began sifting through the files.
Most of the documents were company materials, nothing of particular interest.
She then opened a drawer and found a file bag inside. The bag was bulging, and its seal was heavily worn, suggesting it was frequently opened.
Her intuition told her this contained a secret.
She gently opened the file bag and pulled out its contents: many photographs, and a...
paternity test!
The top showed a paternity test between Wang Yan and Wang Siwei, but another one was attached below.
Wang Yan, Su Xiaorui.
Aside from their names and identifying information, everything else was identical!
Su Ding's heart began to pound, her hand, clutching the paternity test, trembling. Did this mean the paternity test between Su Xiaorui and Wang Yan was falsified!
She had been deceived by them!
"Wuwuwu..."
The faint sobs of a boy echoed from the corridor outside. Su Ding crouched low, her movements silent, not daring to make a sound.
Wang Siwei, crying, passed by the corridor on his way back to his room, completely unaware of anyone in the study.
After he had gone, Su Ding hastily stuffed the file bag into her backpack. She vaguely glimpsed photographs of herself and Xiaorui inside, believing there must be a secret within.
The bright moonlight fell on her profile, painting a beautiful scene.
Her gaze was resolute, her expression taut. She lingered in the study for a while longer before quietly departing.
As she left, she decided to check on the little boy.
From the brief glimpse she had earlier, Su Ding felt a sense of familiarity and needed to confirm it.
"Little Rui sister, I'm sorry... I'm sorry..."
The door to the children's room was ajar, allowing Su Ding a clear view inside.
Was this little boy Xiaorui's classmate?
Wang Siwei...
Yes! He was her daughter's classmate!
She recalled her daughter mentioning him once, saying his father occasionally brought her snacks. At the time, she hadn't paid much attention, merely assuming he was an enthusiastic parent who liked children.
Could it have been Wang Yan?
Had they planned from the very beginning to approach Xiaorui?
Su Ding suppressed her shock and watched Wang Siwei sitting on the carpet, holding a box of folded paper and sobbing, "I shouldn't have listened to Dad and gone to the ceremony, then you wouldn't have died, I'm sorry..."
Su Ding's heart constricted violently. Died?
Blood rushed through her, causing her body to tremble uncontrollably!
Impossible!
She bit her lip fiercely, the rich taste of blood filling her mouth, oblivious.
After a long while, Su Ding quietly left.
Walking alone on the road outside the Wang family villa, the starlight enveloped her. It was quiet, so quiet.
She walked to the end of the street, and at the turn, a car was waiting for her.
"Sister Su."
Huang Mao pushed open the car door, allowing Su Ding to get in, and then quickly drove away.
At that moment, someone emerged from the darkness.
"Mr. Jin, the wife has arrived at Wang Yan's residence."
