“Fang Yu.” Shi Man frowned and thought for a while before denying, “It can’t be him. He doesn’t have the ability.”
“Yes.” Yi Zheng said with a dark expression, “The clues 1 found were indeed cut off when they reached Fang Yu. 1 suspect that there’s someone behind him helping, or rather, helping Fang Han.”
Shi Man understood and said with dark eyes, “Do you think Fang Yu might not know7 about this?”
“Yes, because rather than saying that this is helping behind the scenes, it’s more like framing him. Fang Yu is a businessman and won’t do a losing business, so it’s very likely just Fang Han.” Yi Zheng burned the documents he had investigated and said expressionlessly, “And the spy sent to you is the same.”
Two clues had been severed from the Fang family at the same time. Whether it was a coincidence or really the Fang family’s doing, it was still impossible to conclude. However, one thing was certain. This matter was probably not over yet.
Shi Man’s voice was muffled and sleepy. “Got it. Let’s talk about this in the future.”
Yi Zheng curled his lips slightly, his voice filled with helpless indulgence. “Only you can sleep at this time.”
“Then what? Am 1 supposed to stay up all night to compete with the person on my back?” She pursed her lips speechlessly, kicked off her shoes, and lay under the blanket. Her cell phone was by her pillow, and the call had yet to be hung up.
Yi Zheng listened quietly to the commotion on her side and knew what she had just done. He smiled and said, “Are you going to sleep? Do you need me to tell you a story or sing a lullaby?”
“No, thank you,” Shi Man refused stiffly.
Yi Zheng refused to let go. “I said that you can’t reject me being good to you. Have you forgotten again?”
Shi Man turned over in frustration, her voice instantly distant on the receiver. “Speak.”
Yi Zheng chuckled helplessly and calmly told the stories he had heard when he was young. It was not until he heard long breathing from the other end that he pursed his lips. After confirming that she was really asleep, he said goodnight softly, but he could not bear to hang up.
As a result, when Shi Man woke up the next morning, her cell phone was actually out of battery.
She was instantly furious. She wanted to settle scores with Yi Zheng, but she couldn’t use her cell phone. After rolling her eyes at the sky, she reluctantly restrained her anger and went to school with Su Tang after dinner.
Shi Zhong had already returned from a business trip last night. He didn’t need Shi Man in the company, so she could only return to her boring school life.
In the blink of an eye, it was the end of the semester, and the weather had completely turned cold.
Shi Man wrapped her down jacket tightly and threw the hand warmer to the weak Su Tang. “Take it. I’m not cold.”
“No need. You should wear it.” Su Tang still wanted to refuse, but when she looked up, she saw Shi Man staring at the other side. She immediately looked over curiously and saw Shi Mu and Bai Yao talking intimately.
Su Tang carefully stole a glance at Shi Man’s expression and asked nervously, “Is Fourth Brother dating her? During this period of time, there are always students who see the two of them talking face to face in private.”
Shi Man sneered. After putting the hand warmer on Su Tang, she walked over.
Su Tang hurriedly followed. Her shoes made a soft crunching sound when she stepped on the snow.
“Brother.” Shi Man walked to a spot not far from the two of them and stopped in her tracks. She stared at them with a faint smile.
Shi Mu felt guilty under her gaze and hurriedly ran over. He skillfully tied her scarf around her neck. “Why did you forget to keep warm again? It’s cold. How can you only wear so little?”
Shi Mu remembered that his sister used to be very afraid of the cold, but for some reason this year, she was only wearing warm pants in the snow. Her figure looked thin and weak, as if a gust of wind could blow her down.
Shi Man smiled and let him tie her scarf. She did not hide the intimacy between the siblings. “Brother, you didn’t come to pick me up at the class gate today, so I forgot.” “Little fool, don’t you know how cold it is if 1 don’t remind you?” Shi Mu patted his sister’s head dotingly and promised in a good mood, “In the future, 1’11 pick you up every day. Just don’t find me annoying.”
“Of course not.” Shi Man smiled and held his arm. She turned her head as if she had just noticed Bai Yao and greeted her politely. “Are you going to our house for dinner?”
Bai Yao’s eyes lit up. Just as she was about to agree, Shi Man said quickly, “By the way, you said last time that you were embarrassed to come to our house as a guest. I’m really sorry for making things difficult for you. Then pretend I didn’t say anything!”
Bai Yao’s expression suddenly changed. She looked at Shi Mu helplessly, as if she had been wronged.
Shi Mu looked at the innocent Shi Man and nodded dotingly. “Then we’ll leave first. Goodbye.”
Bai Yao suddenly raised her head. She wanted to call out to him, but she couldn’t. She could only stomp her feet hatefully and wrap her clothes tightly around her body. She was so cold that her entire body was trembling. She hurriedly got into the private car parked at the school gate..
