Hope Coffee House - chapter 22

“How is Zhang Mengzhu doing?” Wu Liang asked. 

“She’s not leading a good life. She never had a serious job, always wanted to find a rich man to marry, but the rich only wanted to play with her. No one wanted to talk to her about marriage, so she is still single. “

“Do you still have her contact information?”

Hao Xin nodded, “Of course. After A Xu’s accident, only I knew that this matter could be related to her, so I kept in touch with her.”

After taking Zhang Mengzhu’s contact information from Hao Xin, Wu Liang planned to leave, but was stopped by him.

“Brother, I told you so much important information, but you didn’t tell me anything. This is different from what we agreed to before,” Hao Xin said coldly.

“It’s not that I don’t want to tell you, but that I don’t have the evidence now. Even if I say the name of the killer, you won’t believe it. I can assure you that after I have all the evidence, I will tell you the name of the killer, and the way she forced Han Xu to death. “Wu Liangcheng sincerely.

“Tell me the name of the murderer now, it’s my choice to believe it or not.” Hao Xin looked at Wu Liang and insisted.

“Gao Qi.”

“Impossible!”

“I already said that you won’t believe it.”

Hao Xin pursed his lips, stared at Wu Liang for a moment, and whispered, “Remember your promise.”

Hao Xin turned away and left.

‘It is Gao Qi, you’ll know soon.’

Wu Liang exchanged two trust cards in the system mall, took out his mobile phone, and dialed Zhang Mengzhu’s phone.

“Hello?” A lazy and charming female voice came from the phone.

Wu Liang used a card: “Hello, I was introduced by an acquaintance.”

“5000 a day, you decide the time and place.”

Not having expected Zhang Mengzhu to answer like this, Wu Liang hesitated and said quickly: “Okay, the time set is; tomorrow at 11:30, and I will text you the place in a while.”

“Get the money with you, see you tomorrow.” The woman laughed softly from the other side of the phone, and then hung up.

Wu Liang stood there, with a puzzled face as he couldn’t understand what the relationship between Zhang Mengzhu and getting money would be.

Wu Liang chose a good restaurant, with an average expense of around 800 yuan, and sent the name and location to Zhang Mengzhu.

Although it hurt a bit, he still had to spend the money. After all, people who paid 5,000 yuan a day would not choose a poor restaurant.

It’s not that he didn’t want to directly ask Zhang Mengzhu on the phone, but Wu Liang was worried that after she answered the first question, she would get alarmed and hang up. In that case, it would be difficult to see her again.

Therefore, in a face-to-face situation with Zhang Mengzhu, he would continue to use the truth card and ask everything he wanted to know.

In this way, even if Zhang Mengzhu was vigilant and didn’t want to answer, she would be like Gao Qi at the engagement banquet, and have to answer questions without a choice.

Having arranged everything, Wu Liang looked for a hidden corner, returned to the Cafe of Hope, took an early break and waited for tomorrow to verify his guess.

After waking up, he went out for a quick meal, bought an envelope, packed 5,000 yuan in it, and went directly to the restaurant.

Zhang Mengzhu was too late. Regarding looks, Zhang Mengzhu was better than Gao Qi, but her temperament was slightly frivolous, lacking the lethal attraction of Gao Qi.

What Wu Liang hated most is people who don’t have the concept of time. He barely suppressed his unhappiness and said hello to her.

After seeing Wu Liang, Zhang Mengzhu laughed and said, “I didn’t think you would be handsome! Seeing that you look so good, I can give you a discount.”

“Oh? How much discount?” Wu Haoqi cried.

“How about 20% off?” Zhang Mengzhu laughed.

“Okay!” Wu Liang happily took out an envelope from the bag, counted ten banknotes, and handed the envelope to Zhang Mengzhu: “Now, this is 4,000 yuan.”

Resentment from Zhang Mengzhu: +100

Wu Liang pushed the 1000 yuan in front of Zhang Mengzhu again and grinned, “Haha, just kidding, but it is the first time I have heard of  a blind date in the day, and that it is necessary to pay 5,000 yuan. If it had not been an elder, I’d definitely not have come. “

Resentment from Zhang Mengzhu: +999

“What ?! Are you here to go on a blind date with me?” Zhang Mengzhu’s face turned blue, and she couldn’t help but curse.

“That was just a joke, hahaha, am I humorous?” Wu Liang laughed.

Resentment from Zhang Mengzhu: +999

It was a pleasant surprise to earn 2,098 hope coins from Zhang Mengzhu. Wu Liang’s heart was finally comfortable, he picked up the menu and asked Zhang Mengzhu to order.

“This kind of joke is best to not be cracked!” Zhang Mengzhu gave Wu Liang a stern glance, looked at the menu, and planned to order a few expensive dishes.

While Zhang Mengzhu was ordering, the two chatted with each other.

Seeing that Zhang Mengzhu had put off her guard, Wu Liang used a truth card and asked directly: “Who drugged Han Xu six years ago?”

“I decided to do it myself.”

“Then why did you do that to Han Xu?” Wu Liang used a truth card again.

“Someone used 500,000 to bribe me to sleep with Han Xu for one night. I needed photos and videos to prove it. Han Xu didn’t like me. I could only give him a drug.”

“Who gave you 500,000?” Wu Liang used the third truth card.

“I don’t know. The money was directly credited to my account in two installments.”

The conversation between the two was extremely fast. Zhang Mengzhu was ordering the dishes and only got distracted to answer. Only then did she realize what she had said. She questioned, “Why do you ask?”

“Gao Qi is so good to you. Han Xu is her beloved boyfriend. You are going to hurt your friend for money?” Wu Liang asked directly with the fourth truth card.

“Good friend? Only women know women best! Being a friend with me is just a way for her to show everyone that she is pure and kind. She has a little money at home, and she will dress prettily. In general, she just pretends to be a white lotus flower, but everyone thinks she is pure and kind like a blank piece of paper! “Zhang Mengzhu sneered.

This time there was no need for Wu Liang to use the truth card again, Zhang Mengzhu already revealed everything with resentment.

“Why do you think someone gave you 500,000 and made you sleep with Han Xu?”

“The woman told me that she just couldn’t get used to Gao Qi’s white lotus dominating Han Xu. Han Xu was so perfect, she wasn’t worth him!”

“But since you hated Gao Qi, why not just spend money to find someone to sleep with Gao Qi?” Wu Liang asked puzzled.

“It’s against the law to find someone to sleep with Gao Qi, and the one who paid the money will also become an instigator. Both of them would have to bear criminal responsibility.”

“What’s more, with Han Xu’s character, even if Gao Qi is in trouble, he will definitely hate the prisoner and feel bad for Gao Qi. He will not break up with Gao Qi.”

“That makes no sense. Why sleep with Han Xu then?” Wu Liang still didn’t understand Zhang Mengzhu’s logic.

“The reason why Han Xu is fascinated by Gao Qi’s white lotus act is because he hasn’t gotten any personnel. If he had a taste of me, Gao Qi’s white lotus act might not be all that good to him anymore! “

“What’s more, I pleasured him, and he got my services, and I didn’t break the law. Even if he still likes white lotuses like Gao Qi, those video photos can be disgusting to Gao Qi, which is good.”

Speaking of this, Zhang Mengzhu suddenly looked uncomfortable, and murmured, “I just didn’t expect that this thing hadn’t been disgusting to Gao Qi, but to Han Xu, who committed suicide.”

“Then did you reveal Han Xu’s videos and photos?” Wu Liang used the fifth truth card.

“Of course not! I put the phone with the video and photos directly in a classroom in the teaching building, just according to that person’s request, and then left. Ten minutes later, 300,000 was credited into my account. I never backed up those videos and photos! “Zhang Mengzhu defended herself.
