My Sexy CEO Wife-Chapter 201 - 199: The Mastermind Appears

```

A silent night passed.

The next day, in the morning.

Lu Pingguan came to Gao Fei with a stack of documents, "Mr. Gao, after some probing, we have finally pinpointed the suspect."

"Oh?" Gao Fei raised an eyebrow, "Who is it?"

"This woman is the most suspicious." Lu Pingguan placed a photo on the coffee table.

Gao Fei looked down and saw a very young girl in the photo with short hair, a delicate appearance, and a slim figure — a rare beauty in the making.

"This woman is called Xu Lingxiu. She just graduated from college and is now an intern doctor. Her family is from Northern Sichuan, and her parents lease several dozen acres of land for tea cultivation. Their business is quite successful, making them a wealthy household in the local area," Lu Pingguan explained.

Gao Fei nodded, "Sounds like there's no issue, right?"

"Don't rush, let me explain slowly." Lu Pingguan continued, "Five years ago, Xu Lingxiu came to the capital for college and later met Lu Hao in a bar..." He paused for a moment then added, "For some reason, Xu Lingxiu actually fell for Lu Hao, and Lu Hao... didn't reject her. Just like that, the two of them got together, but after about a year, they broke up..."

"It was Lu Hao who dumped her, wasn't it?" Gao Fei snorted.

Lu Pingguan's expression became somewhat awkward, "That's right... Lu Hao has been really... really irresponsible... If he had no intention of marrying her, he should have never harmed her... Sigh..." After lamenting for a moment, Lu Pingguan continued, "At the time, Xu Lingxiu refused to break up and even threatened Lu Hao with death.

Lu Hao got annoyed and disappeared, leaving Xu Lingxiu deeply hurt."

"What happened next?"

"Since then, Xu Lingxiu changed, becoming silent and reticent, often sitting alone in her room, staring blankly, and crying... After graduating from college, Xu Lingxiu became an intern doctor at a hospital."

"Lu Hao really did some harm there, a perfectly good girl, ruined just like that."

""After starting to work, Xu Lingxiu got a boyfriend, named Zhu Feng, who also works at the hospital, and is a chief physician, ten years her senior... I did some investigating and found out that this Zhu Feng is actually from Miaojiang."

"Miaojiang?" A glint of sharp light flashed in Gao Fei's eyes.

"As everyone knows, Miaojiang people are most skilled in Gu Art," Lu Pingguan stated solemnly, "I speculate that after being dumped by Lu Hao, Xu Lingxiu harbored resentment and was always looking for a chance to get revenge on Lu Hao but never found the opportunity. After she met Zhu Feng, she learned about the existence of Gu Art...

or perhaps, the reason Xu Lingxiu got close to Zhu Feng was to have him help her take revenge on Lu Hao..."

Gao Fei nodded, "Your analysis makes sense. Women can hold grudges very easily, and they can be quite terrifying once enraged."

"Just yesterday, Xu Lingxiu tried to take a plane abroad but was stopped by someone I had sent."

"Going abroad? Guilty conscience? Trying to escape?"

"We cannot rule out that possibility."

...

Gao Fei stroked his bare chin, "Listening to your account, Xu Lingxiu indeed seems very suspicious. First, she has a motive for the crime, second, her boyfriend is from Miaojiang and it's very likely that he understands Gu Art, and then Xu Lingxiu was trying to flee by plane... Combining all these points, Xu Lingxiu is highly suspect. By the way, where is Xu Lingxiu now?"

"I've detained her," Lu Pingguan stated, "Also, I've sent people to capture her boyfriend. We'll know whether it was their doing once we interrogate them."

"Buzz, buzz, buzz..."

Just then, Lu Pingguan's phone suddenly rang. He pulled it out and answered. After listening for a few moments, his face changed, "What? He escaped? What are you doing... I don't care what method you use, you must bring him back to me!"

"What happened?" After Lu Pingguan hung up, Gao Fei asked.

Lu Pingguan frowned deeply, looking very troubled, "Zhu Feng ran away."

"He escaped?"

```

"I sent a total of ten people, all veterans of the special forces, yet Zhu Feng managed to injure all of them, and the injuries were very severe."

"So, this Zhu Feng is no simple character indeed."

"Hmph!" Lu Pingguan snorted coldly, "With this, Xu Lingxiu's suspicion has become even greater. I'm now almost certain that it was she who used underhanded methods to take revenge on Lu Hao."

Gao Fei pondered for a moment before saying, "Arrange it, I want to meet this Xu Lingxiu."

"Okay, no problem." Lu Pingguan readily agreed.

...

Under Lu Pingguan's arrangement, Gao Fei met Xu Lingxiu without difficulty.

She was indeed a beauty!

Gao Fei secretly praised her in his heart. Not only was she beautiful, but she also had a great presence. Lu Hao, the little rascal, really had taste. But what's detestable is, Lu Hao, that little rascal, had actually dumped Xu Lingxiu. Played her and then cast her aside, truly despicable.

Sitting in a chair, Xu Lingxiu looked at Gao Fei with cold eyes, "Who are you! Why have you captured me! It's a society ruled by law now, you've committed a crime by detaining me without reason. If you don't want to face legal punishment, let me go immediately."

"Do you really want to leave?" Gao Fei replied with a faint smile, "As long as you honestly answer a few of my questions, I'll let you leave."

"What questions?" Xu Lingxiu asked warily.

"The first question," Gao Fei raised a finger, "you know Lu Hao, right?"

Upon hearing the name "Lu Hao," Xu Lingxiu's complexion immediately changed to a very ugly one: "Even in death, I won't forget him."

"From the tone of your voice, it seems you really resent Lu Hao, don't you?" Gao Fei continued to inquire.

"Hmph!" Xu Lingxiu snorted coldly, "Lu Hao is a beast, sweet-talking me, deceiving me. After taking my body, he kicked me to the curb. A man with a wolf's heart and a dog's lungs like him deserves to die! Deserves to die!!!" She bellowed the last few words.

Gao Fei nodded, "Lu Hao is indeed a scoundrel. I wish I could smack him dead with my hand."

"Eh?" Xu Lingxiu was taken aback. She did not expect Gao Fei to speak ill of Lu Hao.

"I'll ask you again, did you hire someone to take revenge on Lu Hao? Did you use Gu Art on him?"

"...I don't know what you're talking about..." Xu Lingxiu's gaze flickered, she dared not meet Gao Fei's eyes.

"If you had the courage to do it, why don't you have the courage to admit it?"

"I didn't do it..."

"Enough, stop pretending. Your boyfriend has already confessed."

"Boyfriend?"

"Zhu Feng, he has already confessed."

"You... You've captured him, too?" Xu Lingxiu said, trembling.

Gao Fei nodded, "Yes, speaking of which, this Zhu Feng is truly formidable. We expended a lot of effort to capture him. At first, he was very tough, but I have my methods to make him talk."

"It's not his fault!" Xu Lingxiu shouted agitatedly, "It was all my idea, he just wanted to help me! Don't make things hard for him! Don't trouble him, please!!!"
