“Shi Gao, it’s been confirmed that Shi Nian was in a car accident! He got hit by a large truck on the road, and his car was very badly damaged. He’s currently in the hospital and is still in critical condition!” Shi Gao’s subordinate, Ah Tao, reported.

Shi Gao’s brow furrowed. “Who did it?”

“It was an accident. The truck driver was caught on the spot; the police have already concluded the car crash occurred because the driver was driving while fatigued,” Ah Tao answered smoothly.

Shi Gao frowned. “An accident… at a time like this? Coincidence?”

Ah Tao didn’t say anything. “Any news on Shi Ke?” Shi Gao asked.

Ah Tao shook his head. “Nothing new. We got news from there saying that Shi

Ke was training with his men at the drill ground this morning.”

Shi Gao’s eyes widened. “What?! How’s that possible? Didn’t they say he got injured? Didn’t they say his injury was serious and that he had to return for surgery?”

Ah Tao shook his head in confusion. “I don’t know. Shi Ke has always been cunning. Perhaps the news of his injury is fake. With his status, they wouldn’t have kept him from treatment if he was seriously injured.”

Shi Gao frowned again and coldly stated, “It’s not easy sniffing around military matters. Tell our people there to be careful not to expose themselves. We’ll investigate this from our side. Let’s go visit Shi Nian at the hospital. I have the feeling that something’s strange about his car accident!”

Ah Tao hesitated before saying, “Witnesses saw Yun Nan faint after seeing Shi

Nian… She couldn’t have mistaken him for someone else, right?”

After a long silence, Shi Gao said, “We’ll wait a bit longer. Keep a close eye on the Shi family.”

“Yes, ma’am!” Ah Tao replied and left, but he soon returned. “Shi Gao, Mrs. Xi is here.”

Shi Gao scowled. “Go tell Gu Man to steer clear and keep out of sight!” “Understood,” Ah Tao responded and left once more.

Lin Yu looked around Shi Gao’s office, which was decorated in a romantic ambiance, and felt slightly bitter.

Shi Gao walked in with a smile. “Look who’s here! Where did you find the time to come over? Don’t you need to care for your mother-in-law by her bedside?”

Lin Yu turned around and stared at Shi Gao. For some reason, she felt that there was something different about Shi Gao, but she couldn’t tell what was different about her. ‘Perhaps I’m too sensitive,’ she thought.

“I came to see you and get some fresh air while I’m at it,” Lin Yu replied, gentle as ever.

Shi Gao chuckled and poured Lin Yu a cup of tea. “If there’s anything I can help with, just say the word.”

“Actually, there is something I need your help with,” Lin Yu uttered straightforwardly.

Shi Gao didn’t expect that, and her hands that were pouring tea paused briefly. She smiled and said, “Go ahead, what is it?”

Lin Yu locked her eyes with Shi Gao’s as she stated, “I heard that Xi Cheng has been having business socials at your hotel recently. I want to know who he’s been with. ”

Shi Gao put down the teapot and returned Lin Yu’s gaze with a smile. “Stop beating around the bush. You want to check if Xi Cheng and Gu Man are together, right?”

Lin Yu didn’t say anything. Shi Gao chuckled, “Don’t worry. I’ve asked the Gu family; they think she’s an embarrassment and have already sent her abroad. Aren’t you a little too sensitive? What? Is Xi Cheng not treating you well lately, or are you too tired? Why are you so paranoid?”

Lin Yu sighed softly, “I don’t mind if he has some fun outside. He’s a man, after all. But I caught the scent of Gu Man’s perfume on his clothes.”

Shi Gao was slightly surprised. “You can’t say that it’s Gu Man just because of a perfume. It’s not like that perfume is only sold exclusively to her!”

Lin Yu looked at Shi Gao. “Gu Man always likes to add her own homemade spices to her perfume. It’s unique.”

Shi Gao’s smile froze before she quickly chortled, “Alright, fine. I’ll help you find out which women have been around Xi Cheng recently, okay? Don’t worry!

It’s definitely not Gu Man!”

Lin Yu seemed to be reassured by that. She took a sip of her tea and remarked, “Your business here appears to be going well. I really envy you for already starting up your own business.”

Shi Gao pursed her lips and smiled. “I’m the one who envies you. I wouldn’t have had to start a business if I could be like you and successfully become the young madam of a rich family.”

Lin Yu lightly sighed, “Shi Gao, you’re my best friend. I really need your help.

Currently, in the Xi family, I’m in a precarious situation. 1—”

Shi Gao patted Lin Yu’s shoulder, cutting her off. “Don’t be like that. Look at you; what’s with all the doom and gloom? Why did you become so mawkish after you got married? It seems that Xi Cheng has gone too far, huh? Don’t worry, leave it to me. I’ll definitely find out who Xi Cheng has been close to lately. Oh, right, I heard that Shi Nian got into a car accident and was hospitalized. Is it true?”

Lin Yu sipped her tea, lowered her gaze, and nodded. “Yes, it is. I saw Xiang Yang at the hospital and heard that Yun Nan fainted when she saw Shi Nian’s injured form.”

Shi Gao raised an eyebrow. “Xiang Yang? She’s back?”

Lin Yu looked at Shi Gao calmly and said, “I heard that the Shi family originally planned to hold Shi Nian and Yun Nan’s wedding soon together with Ye Kun and Fang Xi’s..”
