Mr. Su's Love Investigation Report
Chapter 230

Chapter 230: Chapter 230

Tu Hengsha and Hao Ren’s conversation couldn’t continue because Mrs. Liu began to cry. Liu Hong’s brother returned and, seeing them, immediately tried to chase them away. When they were slow to leave, he picked up a stick and started swinging it at them.

Hao Ren protected her, retreating repeatedly from the blows until they were forced out of the Liu family home, and then the door slammed shut.

Hao Ren was furious, just a step away from kicking the door in.

In contrast to Hao Ren’s agitation, Tu Hengsha appeared much calmer. "Hao Ren, just let it go."

"What did you say?" Hao Ren thought he misheard.

"I believe that in the next few days, things will take a turn without us having to put in any effort." She squinted, as if seeing someone’s eyes in the wind, which seemed to say, "Leave this to me! There are some places you can’t go!"

"You’re so sure?" Hao Ren asked with a laugh.

Tu Hengsha turned and smiled, "Of course! The editor-in-chief said they would get to the bottom of this! I trust the editor!"

In reality, the turnaround came even faster than Tu Hengsha predicted.

In the afternoon, while they were on their way back in the car, Hao Ren stumbled across new information.

First, some new media provided substantial evidence proving that the two reporters from the Morning Light Daily did not lie. Then, chat records between Liu Hong’s in-laws and another unknown person (whose nickname was mosaicked) were exposed, showing that the family agreed to lie, and in return, the other party promised to pay them. The evidence also included reports from neighbors confirming that Liu Hong and her daughter were indeed victims of domestic violence.

At a glance, Hao Ren and Tu Hengsha saw that these chat records and disclosures were fake.

Hao Ren sneered sarcastically, "If someone were discussing such matters, why would they chat about it on social media and leave written evidence? Unless the person is an idiot! In this age where everyone can be a journalist, and everyone can report news, the real victims are the public, who are continuously misled, used as pawns without realizing it, all the while thinking they are crusaders of justice."

He turned off his phone, "Both are lies, yet there’s a crowd arguing fiercely over the two lies as if it were the end of the world. It’s really laughable!"

Tu Hengsha seemed calmer; while he turned off the news, she was still reading. The news comments, in fact, were beginning to shift, and a wave of people in the comments demanded that those who initially insulted Chenjiang apologize to the two Chenjiang reporters.

She couldn’t help but laugh.

"What are you laughing at?" Hao Ren asked her, "Did you see something again?"

She shook her head, "Why do I feel like the ones demanding apologies are the same crowd that cursed us in the beginning?"

"They are! If it wasn’t for work requirements, I wouldn’t bother with this chaotic nonsense!" Hao Ren, though reluctant, picked up his phone again, "Well, anyway, our issue seems to have been cleared up now! But why do I still feel so uneasy? This whole ordeal started inexplicably and ended just as inexplicably!"

Hao Ren couldn’t get over the incident and was determined to investigate the matter further on his own, so when he returned to Yanbei, he and Tu Hengsha went their separate ways, and Tu Hengsha continued to browse the news.

By evening, the same self-media that spread rumors about her and Hao Ren reappeared, admitting to fabricating and publishing false news, apologizing to all involved, and stating they would delete their account as a sign of sincerity.

It indeed fulfilled Hao Ren’s earlier words: the drama started inexplicably and ended just as inexplicably. Still, there was a mysterious connection between the start and the end. Hao Ren was unwilling to let it go—as someone involved, he had the right to investigate thoroughly, and she wouldn’t stop him. But here, she should probably let it rest.

After parting with Hao Ren, she immediately called Su Ronggui. When she got through, she pinched her voice and said, "Hello, hello! May I ask if this is the incredibly handsome Mr. Su? There’s a package that requires your signature."

The person on the other end burst out laughing, "You joker! Are you back?"

"No, no, no. I’m not a joker; I’m a courier." She continued in her feigned voice, "May I confirm that your address is the Chenjiang Daily office?"

"Yes! What did you send me this time?" he played along with her theatrics.

"How would I know? You’ll find out once you open it! Mr. Su, please come downstairs in ten minutes to receive it!" She hung up the phone and rushed quickly to the office.

It took about twenty minutes before she arrived at the office, panting. The incredibly handsome man was already standing at the entrance waiting.

As she was about to pretend by pulling the hood over her head, he smoothly knocked it off, "Why are you running and gasping like that? Can’t you take it easy?"

She slapped his hand away, "Ugh! You’re not playing along! I’m a courier right now!"

He surrendered, "Alright, my courier friend, what silly thing did my ditzy girlfriend send me this time?"

"..." with a serious expression, "Here’s your chance, say it again!"

He thought for a moment, "What did my somewhat ditzy girlfriend send me?"

"You have to say: what did the prettiest girl on Hongliu Road send you!" she fumed and punched him in correction.

He chuckled, "Okay, okay, what did my girlfriend, the most beautiful girl in the world, send me?"

"Finally getting it!" she said, satisfied, tapping him on the head while standing on tiptoes, then crossed her arms over her chest in the shape of a heart, "The world’s prettiest girl is sending you her heart, will you accept?"

In that moment, the winter sunset shone on his face, making it glow. Yet, despite this, he still had to tease her, "Silly girl, can’t you be a bit more composed?" he said as he encircled her heart in his two hands and quickly kissed her.

Humph, saying no yet his actions spoke otherwise... Tu Hengsha thought with disdain.

"Want to have dinner at my place tonight?" he took her hand and asked, "You should pay Sister Qian her salary, my little housekeeper!"

She suddenly remembered that she hadn’t been fulfilling her duties as a housekeeper, quickly nodded, and agreed, "I want to go to the supermarket to buy some snacks first."

"I’ve told you to cut down on snacks! Eat properly! You never change!" He always "lectured" her like that, yet he always let her drag him off to the supermarket in the end.

"Today... did you find something out?" he hesitated, but still asked.

"Didn’t find anything!" she replied with a relaxed expression, "But, did you see? The situation has reversed, the truth came out, and the person who spread rumors even apologized and deleted their account!"

He smiled, "Yes, evil can never defeat true goodness and beauty, and rumors will never eclipse the truth."

"Exactly!" she pointed towards the candy section and dragged him along, "Quick, look! My favorite candy! It was out of stock for ages, and it’s finally here!"

"..." there was no one more carefree than her. While the public only focused on condemnation, no one questioned the motive behind the rumors or who orchestrated it all from behind the scenes. Did she, being at the center of the storm, never think about asking? Well, perhaps it was better that way.

The result of their supermarket trip was that he ended up carrying two full bags of groceries out.

Tu Hengsha entrusted the only bag in her hand to him, "Wait for me; I’m going to the restroom."
