Chapter 104: 103: Brother Wei, long time no see

Xu Linchuan leaned down, took a cigarette from the pack on the table, and held it between his lips: "That bastard is a pure womanizer, tangled up with the one upstairs for ages."

The cardboard box was a ’welcome gift’ Yang Feng sent to the boyfriend of the female tenant, but who would’ve thought that man was ruthless enough to kill the female tenant in a fit of rage.

Yu Zhi: "..."

She raised her eyebrows with some speechlessness, not expecting this matter to turn out so melodramatic.

"Does he know what Yang Bin did?" Shi Wei lowered his head slightly, playing with the girl’s fingertips. His cold voice carried a trace of inscrutable emotion.

Hearing this, Xu Linchuan’s expression turned solemn: "He knows. That basement was provided by Yang Feng."

According to the testimony Yang Bin gave, Yang Feng was supposed to join him that day, but some last-minute business had prevented him.

"How long until you can catch him?" Shi Wei stopped fiddling with his hands. His clearly defined fingers slipped through the girl’s and interlocked with hers.

Xu Linchuan fell silent, lowering his gaze dejectedly, his throat seemingly constricted, unable to utter even half a syllable.

"Do you have his picture? Let me see." Yu Zhi couldn’t bear his defeated demeanor any longer and blurted out.

"It’s on the last page." Xu Linchuan glanced sideways, pointing to the file with the cigarette between his fingers.

"Alright." Yu Zhi picked out a relatively clear photo of Yang Feng from the front and side views available in the file. She held it up: "Can I keep this one?"

"Zhizhi, what are you planning?" Shi Wei wrapped his arms around her waist, his deep black eyes narrowing slightly, the pale jawline faintly taut.

Yu Zhi pressed her lips together: "I have a friend who might be able to find him."

"Really?" Xu Linchuan abruptly sat up straighter, causing the cigarette ash to fall onto the back of his hand.

"Yes."

"What does your friend do? Are they reliable? How long might it take?"

His string of questions left Yu Zhi momentarily unsure how to respond first.

She hesitated for a moment, then said: "She’s—"

"It’s late. Go home and wait for news." Shi Wei interrupted her mid-sentence.

He tossed the file folder into Xu Linchuan’s lap, clearly trying to chase him out.

"Alright, alright, I won’t bother you any longer then." A grin broke across Xu Linchuan’s face, and even his previously dull eyes regained a bit of sparkle.

As the door closed and his footsteps gradually retreated, Shi Wei tilted the young girl’s chin up, locking eyes with her: "Zhizhi, leave this matter to me. You’re not allowed to take risks, understand?"

No matter what methods she planned to use to find that man, he ultimately couldn’t rest easy.

"I won’t take any risks." She only needed to get 099 to scan it.

"That’s still not an option." Shi Wei was resolute about keeping her out of this affair. He gently pinched her smooth cheek: "Zhizhi, be good."

Yu Zhi mulled it over for a moment, eventually compromising: "Alright then." If he couldn’t find him later, she’d just help out in secret.

"Good girl." Shi Wei gently kissed her lips as a reward, then lifted her into his arms: "Time to go to bed."

When he mentioned the phrase ’bed,’ his lips curled into a seductive smile.

At the time, Yu Zhi didn’t understand the meaning behind his smile, but later, when she experienced endless sleepless nights one after another, it was already too late.

Xingye Group.

The man wore a black suit paired with a wine-red shirt, the buttons at his neckline done up tightly, leaving not even a hint exposed—adding an air of restrained allure.

His hands rested casually on the desk, his expression focused as he tapped on the keyboard. With each pause, the computer screen flickered to a new layer.

Shi Wei swiftly entered a series of symbols. Once the progress bar filled, he packaged a particular frame of footage and sent it to Xu Linchuan’s email.

"Knock, knock, knock—"

"Boss, I’m coming in."

The lingering shadow of his last scolding hadn’t faded, so Chen Cai was now cautious enough not to push the door open unannounced.

"What is it?" Shi Wei pressed a few keys to revert his computer screen to its initial state. Leaning back, he adopted a relaxed posture against the chair back.

Chen Cai handed over his phone, playing a recording: "This is a conversation record between the boss’s sister and someone named Brother Hu from the Nightclub."

Through the speaker came the voices of the two plotting how to disgrace Yu Zhi.

Minute by minute ticked by, and when the recording played to its end, Shi Wei’s face had turned frighteningly grim. He sneered: "Overreaching."

He’d thought that woman named Man would have learned her lesson after suffering once, but apparently, he’d been too lenient, giving her room for further arrogance.

"Boss, do you need me to...?" Chen Cai asked, making a throat-slashing motion with a vengeful look.

He thought the gesture was intimidating, but to Shi Wei, it looked like a clumsy bear putting on a circus act—a complete joke.

Shi Wei lazily lifted his eyelids, shooting him a cold glance, his fingers lightly tapping the desk: "Have someone keep tabs on her. Deal with her if it’s necessary."

"Understood." Chen Cai straightened up, sporting an eagerness that bordered on giddiness.

One couldn’t help but wonder what exactly he was so thrilled about.

Seeing that Chen Cai hadn’t moved, Shi Wei raised his brows: "Anything else?"

"There is one thing." Chen Cai hesitated, stammering for a few seconds before scratching his head, looking a bit conflicted.

"Speak."

"Well..."

Shi Wei shot him an icy glare that sent shivers down Chen Cai’s spine.

Hurriedly, he blurted out the rest: "Miss Meng has been waiting outside for a while."

"Who?"

"Miss Meng." Chen Cai repeated, worried Shi Wei didn’t recall. He added: "Meng Han."

Shi Wei searched his memory briefly but still didn’t have any impression of Meng Han.

He waved dismissively, his tone indifferent: "Not meeting."

"But she said Shi Yaoyu sent her here. Apparently, there’s something urgent she needs to discuss with you."

"Urgent?" Shi Wei frowned, his thin lips pressing into a line: "Let her in, but you stand nearby and listen."

He wouldn’t spend even a few minutes alone with any woman other than his little girl—no exceptions.

Chen Cai nodded and swiftly brought Miss Meng into the CEO’s office.

Standing a short distance away, he minimized his presence but eagerly eavesdropped on their conversation.

"Brother Wei, long time no see." Meng Han leaned against the desk with one hand, slightly bending forward. Her lips curved into a sultry smile.

Her chestnut curls cascaded down her back, and her fiery red lips combined with the plunging neckline of her tight black dress made every move tantalizing.
