If the wound was not left by Xiao Hui himself, then the person who made this wound might know the truth about Xiao Hui’s suicide.

s.h.i.+ Man pulled up the chat history of Xiao Hui’s cell phone. On the surface, there was nothing special. Most of them were ordinary conversations with colleagues and she did not see anything unusual.

Yi Zheng glanced at the screen and said calmly, “Can you recover the deleted contact record?”

“Of course.” s.h.i.+ Man swiped the screen confidently and quickly restored the deleted contact and chat records in Xiao Hui’s cell phone software.

Yi Zheng took out a piece of candy from his pocket and stuffed it into s.h.i.+ Man’s mouth. “I’ll send you back after dinner. What do you want to eat?”

s.h.i.+ Man was busy flipping through the messy chat records and replied without looking up, “Anything is fine. It’s up to you.”

Yi Zheng gave an address according to her preferences, and Tang Zhe immediately drove into the night.

Along the way, s.h.i.+ Man lowered her head to investigate the clues, not letting go of every word that seemed valuable, wanting to piece together a complete truth.

It was not until she saw Xiao Hui’s continuous requests for reconciliation in the chat box of the deepest contact that she frowned.

s.h.i.+ Man looked down at the screen, and Yi Zheng kept looking at her.

“You found it?” Seeing her frown, he asked with a smile.

s.h.i.+ Man nodded slightly and stuffed the phone to him. “His chat history with this person can only be restored to those from the past few days. It seems that their chat records have been deleted many times. Their previous records can no longer be restored.”

“This is enough.” Yi Zheng forwarded the chat message to Tang Zhe and asked him to investigate the ident.i.ty of Xiao Hui’s ex-girlfriend after driving.

From the chat records, this girl should have only been with him for two months, but she made Xiao Hui very infatuated with her. He even threatened the girl to get back together by jumping off a building.

“From the looks of it, this person jumped down just to scare his ex-girlfriend!” Tang Zhe parked the car at the entrance of the cafeteria. After quickly browsing through the chat history, he gave a very pertinent evaluation. “An infatuated person can really harm others and himself.”

s.h.i.+ Man chuckled and glanced at Yi Zheng. “But he’s quite cute sometimes.” “What’s cute?” Yi Zheng followed closely behind s.h.i.+ Man and insisted on touching her arm. Ever since the engagement, his clinginess had increased exponentially.

“Nothing.” s.h.i.+ Man deliberately distanced herself from him.

Yi Zheng quickly stuck to her again, as if s.h.i.+ Man was holding a leash that could control him, making him unconsciously match her pace. “How do you plan to investigate Immaculate?”

The sound of “Welcome” in the shop continued until the two of them walked into the private room that had been reserved in advance.

s.h.i.+ Man sat steadily on the chair and finished ordering before saying unhurriedly, “There’s no need to investigate at all. The mole will bite the hook himself.”

“Oh?” Yi Zheng raised his eyebrows slightly and said, “Please elaborate.”

s.h.i.+ Man smiled and explained to him, “Only Sean knows about the last mission. 1 trust Sean, but I can’t rule out the possibility that Sean accidentally leaked the news and caused our plan to fail. Therefore, 1 want to leave them hanging for a while. If the mole can’t get the news, he will naturally be anxious.”

Yi Zheng understood. s.h.i.+ Man wanted to use Sean as bait to fish in the water.

Once s.h.i.+ Man unilaterally cut off the connection with Immaculate, the mole would not be able to obtain any valuable information from Immaculate. If the person behind it still wanted to take action, they would definitely think of another way. At that time, whoever reacted abnormally would be the problematic one.

As soon as the food was served, s.h.i.+ Man’s phone rang.

She took out her phone and realized that the person who called was s.h.i.+ He. She guessed that the other party was worried about her because she had not returned home so late, so she picked up the phone to tell him and her family that she was safe.

“So you’re with Yi Zheng.” s.h.i.+ He was obviously relieved. Then, he asked hesitantly, “Manman, how’s the police investigation on the construction site?”

s.h.i.+ Man frowned in surprise and took a sip of hot soup from Yi Zheng’s hand.

s.h.i.+ He sensed her silence and hurriedly explained to her anxiously, “Manman, there are rumors about you on the Internet now. The victim’s family posted several videos online to gain sympathy and slander you and the company. Dad just asked me to ask you if you need him to interfere.”

“No need,” s.h.i.+ Man replied firmly.

Only when the matter had festered enough would the effect be good enough when she counterattacked.

s.h.i.+ He sighed and said, “Alright, if you need any help, feel free to look for me. Don’t hold on alone.”

“I understand.” After s.h.i.+ Man hung up, she casually looked up and met Yi Zheng’s meaningful gaze..
