In the study of the Yi family’s villa, Tang Zhe held his breath and stood at the side. He reported the results of the interrogation to Yi Zheng. “Master, that person hasn’t relented. It seems that he doesn’t intend to say anything. What should we do next?”

Yi Zheng tapped his fingers on the table and narrowed his eyes as he stared at the interrogation video in front of him.

In the video, the man tied to the rack had been beaten until his skin and flesh were lacerated, but he still gritted his teeth and refused to reveal any information about his companions.

His cold eyes suddenly moved away from the screen and landed on Tang Zhe. “What did you find out?”

Tang Zhe hurriedly perked up and replied, “This group of people shouldn’t be a mercenary group formed in G City. Otherwise, our people wouldn’t have been unable to even hear this bit of news after roaming the black market for so long. Therefore, I guess that the mastermind either doesn’t have any underground forces or is too good at hiding himself. After all, killing the Shi family is not a small matter. It’s normal for him not to choose to use his own forces.”

“But he chose a bunch of trash.” Yi Zheng hit the nail on the head. He raised his eyelids lazily and looked at Tang Zhe with a bored gaze. “How’s the investigation on the Shi family?”

At the mention of this, Tang Zhe couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat. The Shi family was the richest family, and there were countless families who wanted to attack them. Almost everyone wanted to replace them, but because of various factors, no one dared to make a move.

However, Tang Zhe did not dare to answer directly. He could only change to a slightly tactful tone and say, “The Shi family has always been magnanimous and benevolent to outsiders. They have never had any deep grudges against anyone. In this case, jealousy would be the reason for anyone who wants them dead.”

“If you can’t uncover anything, it’s due to your incompetence.” Yi Zheng’s eyes flickered in the dark. He acutely sensed an aura that was both familiar and unfamiliar enter his territory. He immediately put away his mocking smile and lay dormant in the darkness, waiting for his prey to fall into his trap.

“Miss Shi, my master is very busy now and doesn’t have time to see you. You should go back quickly.”

The Yi family’s butler, Uncle Liu, had a bitter expression on his face. His arms were frozen in midair. He wanted to stop her, but he didn’t dare to reach out. He stood there awkwardly and smiled bitterly. “Miss Shi, don’t make things difficult for me. The last time I let you in privately, Master almost fired me when he returned.”

“But you didn’t get fired?” Shi Man stared at him with a faint smile. Suddenly, she stopped in her tracks benevolently and gestured in the direction of the study. She said calmly, “Then call him out and say that I’m looking for him.”

“Miss Shi, it’s not that I don’t want to help you, but Master has long instructed that he definitely won’t see you if you come. You should go home quickly so that your family won’t worry.”

Uncle Liu tried his best to persuade her. In the past, every time Shi Man came to look for Yi Zheng on a whim, he would spend a lot of effort to persuade her to leave obediently.

He thought that after so long, Shi Man had long given up on Yi Zheng. He did not expect this Buddha to barge in without saying a word today. He could not even stop her aggressively since Yi Zheng would discover that and he would inevitably be told off by Tang Zhe again.

Shi Man sat on the sofa casually and crossed her legs to pour herself a glass of water. She looked at him calmly. “Just tell him. Whether he comes to see me or not is his business.”

“Miss Shi, you…” Uncle Liu wanted to say that she was stubborn, but just as he was about to say it, he remembered Shi Man’s unruliness and willfulness. If he went overboard, she would definitely be even more unwilling to let go later and make things worse.

Uncle Liu could not understand her thoughts. She clearly had the most extraordinary family background and her looks and figure were one in a thousand. However, she specially chose this difficult bone to swallow and did many things that did not match her status to embarrass the family.

Shi Man finished the cup of tea, but Uncle Liu was not done advising her.

She suddenly felt frustrated. She put down the teacup and stood up to barge into the study. Uncle Liu hurriedly stopped her in panic. Before he could say anything, the study door was suddenly opened from the inside. Tang Zhe smiled and nodded at her. “Miss Shi, please come in. My master wants to see you.”

Uncle Liu retracted his hand and stared in disbelief as Shi Man walked into the study. It was not until the door was closed with a bang that he came back to his senses and looked at Tang Zhe, who was getting closer and closer.

“In the future, if Miss Shi comes, you don’t have to stop her anymore. Just let her in.” Tang Zhe whispered Yi Zheng’s words before stretching lazily and walking out of the villa to enjoy a rest.

In the study, Yi Zheng stood up and walked out from behind the desk. He led her to the sofa on the other side and personally poured her a cup of hot tea. Then, he looked up and stared at her. “Why are you looking for me?”

“I came to see if you’re doing a cover-up.” Shi Man pointed out her intentions bluntly and smiled. “If the Yi family can’t do it, I can interrogate them personally.”
