Compared to Yu Hancheng, Gu Wan trusted the results of her own investigation more, so she contacted Ding Lin.
She didn't contact him very often, but every time she did, it meant that this matter was extremely important. Ding Lin was very serious when he received the call, and he almost exploded with rage after learning that Gu Wan had almost been killed.
"Don't worry, I'll definitely investigate this matter for you. If it really is that woman, I'll definitely …" Ding Lin gritted his teeth.
However, before he had a chance to finish his sentence, Gu Wan cut him off. "If it really is her, then don't alert her. Just tell me, and I'll take care of this myself."
"Young Mistress, she's already like this!" Ding Lin refused to back down.
"It's my own business, so don't worry about it." Gu Wan refused to budge, and her tone was a little cold.
When Ding Lin heard this, he had no other choice but to agree.

Meanwhile, in an alley not far away from the hotel, Bai Yao stepped onto the ground with disgust and looked around as she made her way out.
A black surveillance camera slowly turned away and missed the scene of her coming out of the alley.
"F * ck, she's not dead! Who the f * ck is that bastard? How dare he kill that woman! " She made her way out in her high heels, and a black van was parked not far away. She glanced at it and narrowed her eyes as she made her way over.
The car door slid open, and Bai Yao harrumphed coldly upon seeing who was inside. She sat down on the seat.
"When are you going to pay me?" a deep voice sounded from the driver's seat.
Bai Yao narrowed her eyes, and her lips darkened. "You haven't even killed her yet, and you're asking me for money?"
"That man suddenly appeared. Otherwise, she would already be dead." The deep voice sounded again.
"Then you'll get your money after she's dead," Bai Yao said in a cold voice.
The voice fell silent, and the driver seemed to have accepted this explanation.
"Don't go into the surveillance area. I don't want to be caught," Bai Yao said in a cold voice as the driver was about to turn onto the third ring road.
"Which area isn't under surveillance? If I wanted to film you, I would have filmed you long ago. Why are you only telling me now?" The driver sneered coldly, but he still obediently turned the car around and headed in another direction.
Bai Yao smiled and didn't offer an explanation. Instead, she turned to look out the window with a myriad of emotions in her eyes.
"Gong Mohan isn't someone you can mess with. How could you be so blind as to offend his wife this time?" The driver was silent for a few minutes before speaking again.
Bai Yao turned around and glared at him with a cold expression. "I'm blind? Why should I open my eyes? I just can't stand that woman. I just want her dead. In the end, it won't be traced back to you. What are you worried about? "
The driver clicked his tongue and did not say anything else.
"Tomorrow night is the same as before. Regardless of whether you've killed that woman or not, you're going to wait for me at the same place. I'll arrange for someone to escort you out of here and lay low for a while," Bai Yao said in a cold voice.
The driver smiled but didn't comment.
The car was parked in a small alley not far away from Bai Yao's house. There were no surveillance cameras around here, and Bai Yao pulled out a wad of cash from her bag before tossing it onto the passenger seat. "Take this to spend for the next few days." She got out of the car and made her way toward the entrance of the alley.
The car started up slowly and disappeared into the night again.
Bai Yao turned around to take a glance, and a light flashed through her eyes.

Yu Hancheng gritted his teeth and untied the gauze. Cold sweat trickled down his forehead. Then, he picked up the bottle of medicine beside him and poured it on his arm without looking at it. The pain made him suck in a breath of cold air.
"F * ck, f * ck, f * ck f * ck f * ck f * ck! It hurts! "Yu Hancheng gritted his teeth and cursed in a low voice. In his heart, he had cursed the entire Bai family a few hundred times.
He had thought about many ways in which Bai Yao would attack Gu Wan, and he had guessed that it would be a car accident. However, he didn't think that Bai Yao would attack Gu Wan so quickly.
He had initially planned to warn Gu Wan, but after thinking about it, he wasn't sure that Bai Yao would be crazy enough to attack Gu Wan even after knowing who she was. As such, he didn't make up his mind to warn Bai Yao in the end.
After all, if he told Bai Yao about it and it didn't happen, wouldn't that make him look like he had ulterior motives?
He was never going to do anything that would make him lose money.
Furthermore, he didn't think that he would actually be injured.
As such, he was still a little regretful that he hadn't warned Gu Wan to be careful in advance.
Thankfully, this was a blessing in disguise as Gong Mohan's attitude toward him had improved significantly.
"Hmm, I've earned Gong Mohan's favor. That's something I didn't expect." Yu Hancheng wrapped the gauze around his arm again and looked out the window at the bright sky. He pulled out his phone and called his assistant.

The next evening.
Gu Wan was sitting in the living room of her mansion when she suddenly received a call from Ding Lin.
She hurriedly stood up and made her way over to the window to answer the call.
Ding Lin's voice was filled with rage, and Gu Wan's suspicions were instantly confirmed. At the same time, a chill ran down her spine, and she pursed her lips.
"It really is her! F * ck, that b * stard! "Ding Lin cursed with rage, and his voice had even raised a few octaves.
Gu Wan was a little exasperated. "Calm down, tell me what happened first."
Ding Lin calmed himself down before telling Gu Wan the gist of what had happened. However, he didn't tell her the reason as he hadn't been able to find out. Gu Wan didn't ask any questions, and she only offered a few words of consolation before hanging up.
Things were quite similar to what she had expected, and Yu Hancheng hadn't lied to her.
However, Gu Wan was a little hesitant as to how to deal with this situation. She had always been a person who wouldn't attack others if they didn't attack her first. This incident had undoubtedly crossed her bottom line, but she didn't want to make a big deal out of it.
After thinking for a while, Gu Wan asked Ding Lin to send Bai Yao's phone number to her.
At the same time, Gong Mohan also received the news, and he asked in a cold voice, "Have you called the police yet? Send someone to follow him and call me if anything happens. I want him alive. "
He was currently tracking down the driver. According to Bai Yao, he was currently heading toward the suburbs and was waiting for someone to send him somewhere else to lie low.
Gong Mohan naturally wasn't going to let him leave City B, so he sent someone to follow him.
Bai Yao's expression panicked for an instant upon learning that the driver was being followed, but she immediately calmed down and issued a command before hanging up.
Two hours flew by in the blink of an eye.
Bai Yao looked at the unfamiliar number on her phone, and her eyes narrowed as she hesitantly picked up the call.
She had initially thought that the driver had changed his number at the last minute, but never would she have thought that the caller would be the other main character in this incident.
She was still alive and well on the other end of the line …
"Bai Yao."
Bai Yao faltered for a long while upon hearing this voice.
"… Gu Wan?"
"It's me." Gu Wan's voice was very calm. She leaned casually against the sofa and narrowed her eyes as she looked up at the chandelier overhead with her phone raised to her ear.
"… Why do you have my number? What do you want?" Bai Yao's voice instantly became sharp.
"I don't want to do anything. I just wanted to ask if you have time tomorrow," Gu Wan replied.
Bai Yao fell silent for a long while before asking, "What do you want?"
"Let's meet up and settle our differences. I want to see what I've done to piss you off so much that you want me dead," Gu Wan said in a cold voice.
Bai Yao faltered slightly upon hearing this, and a cold smile appeared on her face. "I don't know what you're talking about. What do you mean I want you dead? What do I stand to gain from your death? Your life is worthless in my eyes. "
"…" Gu Wan pursed her lips as a hint of exasperation flashed through her eyes. "That's right. I also want to know what I stand to gain from my death. I'm worthless in your eyes, so why would you hire someone to kill me?"
Bai Yao was astonished. She didn't think that Gu Wan would be able to figure out that she was the mastermind behind all of this. She was a little caught off guard.
"If you have time tomorrow, let's meet at the Left Bank Cafe next to the Second Ring Road. I'll be waiting for you." Gu Wan didn't give Bai Yao any time to digest this information.
Bai Yao didn't reply and hung up the phone.
She looked at the mirror before her, and her breathing accelerated before gradually calming down. She looked into the mirror with an indifferent expression, and her eyes slowly narrowed into slits.
Gong Mohan's expression darkened a little when he arrived at the scene of the incident.
The suspect had been run over by a car, and there was no way he could have survived. He was well aware that the driver at the scene of the incident was trying to kill him.
"Have you caught the car?" He turned to a nearby police officer.
The police officer faltered slightly as he didn't recognize who he was, and a peculiar expression appeared on his face. "Who are you? This is our business, and we can't disclose the progress of the case to unrelated people. "
Gong Mohan drew a sharp intake of breath and looked at the police officer in silence.
This was a young police officer, and his hair stood on end at the sight of Gong Mohan's intense gaze. However, he was soon pushed aside by another police officer.
This was their vice-captain.
He looked at Gong Mohan with a smile. "Mr. Gong, we'll arrest the suspect as soon as possible, and we'll investigate what you've told us as soon as possible. However, please don't make things difficult for us. This is a rule from the higher-ups, and we can't disclose the progress of the case."
Gong Mohan stared at him for a while longer before nodding his head. Without saying anything else, he left with his men.
In the car, the driver looked at Gong Mohan with a hesitant expression. "What do we do now, sir? Should we inform Madam about this?"
"No." Gong Mohan didn't beat around the bush. He thought for a moment before continuing, "Prepare some gifts tomorrow. I'm going to visit Yu Hancheng, and ask my assistant to send me Yu Hancheng's address."
"Alright."
Gong Mohan looked out the window at the rapidly retreating scenery with a solemn expression.
The scene from last night, from when he stepped out of the elevator to when he sent Yu Hancheng to the hospital, quickly flashed through his mind. He carefully observed each scene over and over again. Suddenly, there was a strange feeling in his heart, as if something was wrong.
After a long while, he slowly narrowed his eyes and pursed his lips.
