This newspaper was quite different from the others.

The masthead at the top indicated that it was from Wendith’ largest newspaper company to date. Just by looking at the layout, one could tell how large this company is.

Even the thickness of each issue of the newspaper was more than three times that of others.

Mei Shu looked at the publication date in the upper right corner of the newspaper and realized that it was a long time after the cliff accident.

Jiang Hai also noticed this and hesitated, “What does it mean that they’re giving us a newspaper from such a late date?”

Mei Shu didn’t answer. As she looked at the newspaper, she inexplicably felt her heart rate increase, her brow furrowing and unable to relax.

She flipped open the first page of the newspaper, and a lot of dust fell down instantly. fr𝐞𝐞𝚠e𝗯𝗻ovel.c𝐨m

The headline that occupied a large space was a report on killing a beast.

Mei Shu couldn’t help but stand up, and together with Jiang Hai, she stared intently at the news.

Because the beast lying on the ground in the photo, covered in blood, was exactly the same as what was in the photo Mei Shu had received.

Jiang Hai quickly took out the photo for comparison, then his expression quickly turned serious. “Miss Mei Shu, now all the evidence points to the fact that someone was behind the cliff accident back then. Shouldn’t we report it to the police directly?”

Mei Shu shook her head. “No, it won’t work. It’s been so many years since the incident. The police may not take this case seriously, and I’ve always suspected that someone within the Lu family has long known the truth about what happened back then. If we hastily report it, we might force them to act prematurely.”

Jiang Hai said, “But with the evidence we have now, we’re qualified to report it to the police and demand a re-investigation of the case from back then. Let the police handle it. It’s much safer than you personally getting involved.”

“I’m not afraid of danger, Jiang Hai. You don’t understand,” Mei Shu said somewhat disheartenedly, sinking back into her chair, exhaustion evident in her eyes.

She picked up the newspaper and said in a heavy tone, “This is the most authoritative representation of the media in Wendith. Even they took down all the newspapers after publishing this statement. You should know that the person behind this has influence no less than ours.”

Jiang Hai squinted and said, “Actually, I’ve always had a question. Who has been directing Zhou Lin to follow us all this time? What is their purpose?”

“If they didn’t want us to continue investigating, why not use other means to disrupt our actions? Look at what Zhou Lin has been doing recently. Although he’s persistent, he hasn’t taken any substantial actions to stop us from investigating. On the contrary, his attitude is more like…”

“Permissive,” Mei Shu continued his sentence. “The person behind Zhou Lin didn’t let him do anything to us. I suspect he’ll only act when we’re truly close to the truth. This means that what we’re investigating now may not be of interest to him, or…”

Mei Shu picked up the photo. “He doesn’t know that someone secretly left behind this piece of evidence. They probably think we’re just randomly investigating without a purpose.”

“Yes,” Jiang Hai agreed wholeheartedly. “Now we’re truly in the dark. Although the other side hasn’t revealed their identity, we’ve already guessed their intentions.”

Mei Shu shook her head. “No, the other side has already revealed their identity.”

Jiang Hai couldn’t believe his ears. “Miss Mei Shu, are you serious? When did this happen?”

Mei Shu chuckled and said, “Isn’t it obvious? Who does a person like Zhou Lin fear the most?”

Jiang Hai froze for a moment, then suddenly realized, his backbreaking out in a cold sweat. “I sec who you’re referring to, but just based on this, I’m afraid it won’t make him tell the truth.”

Mei Shu shrugged, looking indifferent. “I don’t need him to tell the truth. I just want to give Ah Si the truth. Let’s go eat first. In the afternoon, you’ll come with me to meet Zhou Lin’s old lover, Sister Li, and see if she can be a breakthrough.”

“Okay.” Jiang Hai obediently went outside and informed the waitress to bring in the delicately prepared meals.

At first, Jiang Hai refused to eat at the same table with Mei Shu, feeling it was improper, but after spending some time together, they were no longer as formal as they were at the beginning.

Jiang Hai naturally sat down and even took the initiative to set the tableware for Mei Shu.

After finishing lunch together, they shook off the group of followers and met up on another small road before heading to Sister Li’s house.

Mei Shu found that this woman hadn’t been in contact with Zhou Lin for many years, but Zhou Lin still sent her money every month without fail.

Rather than saying it was Zhou Lin’s lingering affection for his old lover, it was more like hush money.

Mei Shu was betting that what the other party was concealing for Zhou Lin was related to the cliff incident back then.

Of course, if it wasn’t related, it wouldn’t matter. It would just be another piece of leverage against Zhou Lin, harmless but beneficial.

Ruan Li lived in a villa area near the sea in Wendith. This area was very expensive, and Ruan Li couldn’t possibly afford the house prices here on her own..
