Wan Jinxian said, "Behind Freewind Wharf is a stretch of warehouses. Most of them have fallen into disrepair over the years and have been abandoned. I heard Ma Wu plans to build a restaurant there, but construction has been delayed again and again. My spies have seen Ling Miaoying there more than once. At first, I thought he had gone there to deal with Li Qi, but now it seems he often visits that warehouse area. That forces me to suspect that Ling Miaoying may be colluding with Li Qi."
The whole time he was speaking, he had been watching Tu Yinghong's reaction. If Tu Yinghong jumped to defend Ling Miaoying, that would prove she had genuine feelings for him. However, Tu Yinghong remained very calm, and that confirmed He Jiaqing's guess. Tu Yinghong had repeatedly attacked Freewind Wharf to obtain the Crimson Lotus.
Tu Yinghong lit a cigarette, looked at Wan Jinxian, and said, "What use is there in telling me this? I don't believe Miaoying is colluding with Li Qi. I'd very much like to find him and ask him face-to-face, but I can't even leave this building."
"It's true that you can't leave. Because I can't let you out. I only came to tell you about this."
With that, Wan Jinxian left.
Tu Yinghong sat in her room and fell into deep thought.
Is Ling Miaoying really still alive? Why would he collude with Li Qi? Could it be for my iron rulers? Did he lie to me? Did he join hands with Li Qi to deceive me?
Ling Miaoying had shown interest in Tu Yinghong's iron rulers more than once. The pair of iron rulers was the whole reason why they were able to move the film building. However, Tu Yinghong had never let him touch the iron rulers. They were treasures she had obtained at an extremely high price.
When she met Li Qi at the cinema, the iron rulers went missing. Later, when she went to Freewind Wharf with Ling Miaoying to search for Li Qi, both men disappeared.
Li Qi took my iron rulers, and Ling Miaoying knows how to use them. They may have agreed on a collaboration and want to use my iron rulers to do something.
