During the meal, Shi Man did not say a word to Yi Zheng and refused to let him add food to her with the serving chopsticks.

Yi Zheng’s expression was terrible, but he could only hold it in.

After the meal, he returned to his room alone in silence.

Su Tang saw all of this and couldn’t help but ask worriedly, “Manman, what’s wrong with you? Did you have a conflict?”

She saw that Yi Zheng liked to stick to Shi Man today, but Manman looked indifferent.

After eating and drinking her fill, Shi Man got up and returned to her room to open the package. She answered her question, “Nothing happened. Don’t worry too much. I’ll go to school with you for the exam tomorrow.”

“Okay!” Su Tang agreed happily. However, she thought of something and hurriedly asked worriedly, “Do you really not need me and Bai Xue to tutor you?”

Shi Man raised her eyebrows and smiled at her. “Could it be that the two of you haven’t been studying hard recently and need to to cram?”

“No! I just saw that you didn’t come to class. Would your exam results not be good?!” Su Tang pouted aggrievedly.

Shi Man flicked her forehead in amusement. “Don’t worry, since when did 1 need anyone to worry about my results?”

With that, she bade farewell to Shen Xian and returned upstairs to rest.

For some reason, Butler Qi did not turn on the lights today. The second floor was dark, but this did not delay Shi Man from looking behind the corner.

There was someone there.

Her sharp hearing told her so.

However, Shi Man had no intention of dodging. She pretended not to see anything and continued walking forward. Just as she was about to turn the corner, she saw a pair of hands reach out from the darkness.

Shi Man curled her lips slightly and instantly lowered her expression. She stared at the man in front of her. “Who asked you to be here?”

“This is also my house,” Yi Zheng said matter-of-factly.

Shi Man snorted. “I can make you an outsider at any time.”

“Must you hurt me like this to vent your anger?” Yi Zheng sighed tiredly.

Shi Man pushed him away expressionlessly. “Who said I’m doing this to vent my anger? Why should I be angry?”

Yi Zheng compromised in a low voice helplessly. “Manman, there’s already progress. I don’t want to do anything when I came to look for you this time. I just want to talk to you for a while. Even if it’s just to let me see you, okay?” freewe(b)novel

Shi Man crossed her arms and leaned against the wall, showing him openly. “Tell me, what did you find out?”

“Chen Jiao’s original name is Chen Lan,” Yi Zheng answered quickly.

Shi Man listened quietly at the side. In the end, this person stopped talking after saying this. She couldn’t help but urge, “What else?”

Yi Zheng narrowed his eyes and smiled. “No, her family doesn’t lack money, and there’s nothing that needs a huge expenditure recently.”

“Then didn’t you uncover a bunch of useless information?” Shi Man wanted to roll her eyes and leave.

Yi Zheng hurriedly pulled her back. “Listen to me. I know myself that it’s definitely impossible for me to have sex with her, so she must have been lying. Based on this, 1 have reasonable suspicions that it’s definitely not a coincidence that she changed her name after arriving in the capital. I’ve already asked Tang Zhe to investigate the rest.”

“Isn’t Tang Zhe her cousin? Would he help you and not his cousin?” Shi Man pouted and raised her doubts reasonably.

Yi Zheng shook his head and said, “He won’t. He can be by my side for so long because 1 know that he’s a person who distinguishes between official and private matters. Otherwise, 1 wouldn’t have placed him in an important position in the beginning.”

That was the truth.

Yi Zheng and Tang Zhe had experienced too much together. Tang Zhe knew many of Yi Zheng’s secrets, and Yi Zheng also held all his assets.

Neither of them would easily betray the other. Furthermore none of them wanted to do so.

This relationship of mutual trust is very rare in the business world.

Rather than saying that the two of them were superiors and subordinates, it was more like a pair of good brothers.

Of course, Shi Man trusted Tang Zhe, but she still wanted to remind Yi Zheng, “According to your hypothesis, Chen Jiao approached you on purpose. Then you have to be careful. Chen Jiao is very close to Tang Zhe now. You have to be careful not to be instigated by her.”

Yi Zheng smiled and rubbed her head. “Are you worried about me?”

Shi Man threw away his hand angrily. She should not be nice to this man!

“You’ve finished your nonsense. I’m leaving.”

“Wait.”

Yi Zheng grabbed her arm again. “Recently, the people from the Netherworld Pavilion have been investigating you. They were the ones who sent the item today, right? You have to be careful. They must have ill intentions.”

“Aren’t you investigating me too?” Shi Man turned her head and stabbed him with this sentence. Then, she took her wrist away and entered the room without looking back.

Sure enough, there was an exquisite black box on the bedside table in the bedroom. The pattern printed on it was identical to the symbol of the Netherworld Pavilion.

Shi Man narrowed her eyes and carefully confirmed that the box was not installed with any technological equipment. Only then did she open the lid with relief. There was an exquisite bracelet lying inside.

She picked up the bracelet and was about to put it aside when she suddenly saw a note at the bottom of the box from the corner of her eye. As she frowned and looked at it, her expression turned very ugly..
