Chapter 844: Chapter 844

"What can I help you with?"

Tang Wenrou frowned at Tang Ya, a look of total bewilderment on her face.

Tang Ya said, "Wen Rou, Beauty Company has a beauty product that is said to be very effective, yet it’s not sold to the public—only available for internal high-level staff. Are you aware of this?"

Tang Wenrou nodded, "I’ve been using that exact beauty product you’re talking about... Is there a problem, cousin?"

Tang Ya exclaimed, "You mean... you’ve been using that beauty product meant for internal staff at Beauty Company?"

Seeing Tang Wenrou nod again, Tang Ya felt both envy and delight.

Her envy stemmed from the fact that she had tried everything to get her hands on that product from Beauty Company, yet Tang Wenrou had already been using it.

Her delight was because if Tang Wenrou had been using this product for a while, it meant she must have some way or connections to obtain it, and through her, perhaps she could achieve her wish.

Meanwhile, Tang Ya scrutinized Tang Wenrou, noticing her skin was fairer and more delicate than ever, almost porcelain-like—perhaps that was thanks to her using that particular product from Beauty Company.

"Here’s the thing... I too would like to buy the beauty product for internal staff use at Beauty Company, but when I spoke to President Xia about this just now, she said she couldn’t make that decision and told me to ask Bai Fang, the Divine Doctor. After asking him, the Divine Doctor then told me to find you... Wen Rou, since you have a way to get that beauty product, could you help me out? Whatever you paid, I’ll give you double!"

Tang Wenrou shook her head, "I didn’t buy it; it was a gift from an employee at Beauty Company."

After obtaining a secret formula from Bai Fang, Xia Chenyu had developed a series of beauty products and launched them in the market. However, the highest grade product that wasn’t diluted wasn’t sold publicly but was provided for free to internal employees who made outstanding contributions and also to Bai Fang’s close relatives and beloved friends.

Xia Chenyu and Bai Fang had known each other for a long time and trusted each other deeply. She even knew about a few of his beloved friends and thus was aware of Tang Wenrou’s existence. She would regularly assign employees to deliver the company’s best beauty products to Tang Wenrou for her personal use.

Many women longed for Beauty Company’s finest beauty products but couldn’t get them, yet Tang Wenrou never worried about this. She received so many products that she couldn’t use them all herself and had even shared some with her mother, never thinking to give any to her cousin, Tang Ya.

"Wen Rou, you must be very close with Bai Fang, the Divine Doctor, right? Otherwise, why would he gift you such precious items..."

A fire of gossip blazed in Tang Ya’s heart.

"Wen Rou and Bai Fang have known each other for a long time; they’re now boyfriend and girlfriend. You tell me if that’s a close relationship,"

Before Tang Wenrou could respond, Liu Hongzhuang chimed in from the side.

Overjoyed, Tang Ya hugged Tang Wenrou tightly and said excitedly, "No wonder Bai Fang sent me to you, so you guys have that kind of relationship! Wen Rou, can you sell me some of your beauty products from now on? Consider it a favor to your cousin!"

Tang Wenrou said, "If you want them, I’ll just give you some in the future. Beauty Company gives me more than I can use... But cousin, you must never mention this to anyone; I’m afraid it might bring unnecessary trouble to Beauty Company and Bai Fang!"

Tang Ya nodded seriously, "Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone!"

Just then, Tang Wenrou’s cellphone suddenly rang.

Tang Wenrou took out her cellphone, glanced at the incoming caller ID, and knew it was a call from Wang Jingzhong, the Director of the Yanjing Police Station and her immediate superior, so she walked to a less crowded area to answer the call.

Through Fang Bai, Tang Wenrou knew that Fang Bai and the Yanjing Wang Family had some past grudges. Due to her resentment by association, she naturally didn’t have a good impression of Wang Jingzhong.

However, business was business, and personal was personal. Tang Wenrou was a person who clearly distinguished between public and private affairs, and would not let personal emotions affect her work.

"Director Wang, what are your instructions?"

Before coming to the Su Family, Tang Wenrou had already taken leave from Wang Jingzhong, knowing that if there wasn’t anything urgent, Wang Jingzhong wouldn’t call her at this time.

"Officer Tang, Anxi City experienced several major homicide cases yesterday. The victims died very mysteriously, and the Anxi Police Station’s investigations were fruitless. Knowing that you are an expert in solving cases, they have requested that you come and assist with the investigation! You are currently in Zhongzhou, right? I order you to head to Anxi immediately and report to the Anxi City Police Station!"

Director Wang Jingzhong of the Yanjing Police Station stated solemnly from the other end of the phone.

"Yes! I will leave now, striving to arrive in Anxi by dawn tomorrow!"

Tang Wenrou was a workaholic, and upon hearing about the major homicide cases, she was immediately filled with fighting spirit.

"Cousin, I have an urgent matter to attend to. I’ve kept in mind what you said... Don’t worry, where there’s me, there’s you!"

After pausing, she then said to Liu Hongzhuang and Tang Ya, "Mom, when you see Dad later, tell him I had to leave early for some work! Cousin, please also inform Old Master Su and Eldest Young Master Su!"

She spoke and immediately set off, taking long strides forward. After walking some distance, she couldn’t help but glance deeply back toward Fang Bai, a trace of longing sweeping through her gaze.

Yet, when she saw Xia Chenyu beside Fang Bai, the longing in Tang Wenrou’s eyes instantly turned into a full surge of resentment. She took a deep breath to calm her emotions before continuing on toward the exit of the estate.

"My Boss Fang, Officer Tang is leaving, aren’t you going to chase after her and send her off, maybe say a few words? Although Officer Tang seems strong on the surface, she is quite fragile emotionally. If you don’t go to see her off, she will be very sad!"

Although Xia Chenyu had been talking to Fang Bai all along, she was alert to her surroundings, and only when she saw Tang Wenrou making a move to leave did she chuckle and speak to Fang Bai.

Fang Bai said, "Chenyu is preparing to go to Anxi City to investigate a major homicide case. I’m worried she won’t be able to handle it alone, so I’m planning to accompany her on the trip!"

"Yes, you go! As for Old Master Su and Yifei, I’ll explain it to them," Xia Chenyu replied.

Xia Chenyu was not a jealous person and knew that if she kept holding on to Fang Bai all the time, it would be unfair to Tang Wenrou, so she said to Fang Bai.

Fang Bai grasped Xia Chenyu’s delicate hands and patted the back of her hands gently, saying, "Chenyu, thank you!"

Xia Chenyu waved her hand, "Go! Go! If you don’t hurry, Officer Tang will have gone far!"

Fang Bai hurried after her, finally catching up to Tang Wenrou as she was about to get into a car and leave the Su Family Estate.

Tang Wenrou hadn’t expected Fang Bai to appear before her, and she was both surprised and delighted.
