However, it seems that the attention has been successfully diverted?

They probably don't know that the documents were taken.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have come to coax me; they would have already turned on me and questioned me.

Tuya was quite satisfied with this, and then added fuel to the fire, saying, "Anyway, you figure out how to handle this!"

Don't contact me until this is resolved!

As soon as she finished speaking, she hung up the phone without hesitation.

Aotai was a little annoyed as he listened to the dial tone coming from his phone.

He's already spoken so sincerely, so why can't he be appeased?

This woman has really changed.

Although I was getting a little impatient, I hadn't achieved my goal yet, so I couldn't just give up like this.

He refused to believe that he couldn't appease Tuya.

After that, he dialed Tuya's number several more times.

But each time, she decisively ignored it.

Tuya couldn't be bothered with that jerk.

She continued to wait for Shi Yi to return.

As a result, Shi Yi did not return until nightfall.

Tuya's heart sank.

Did he know that I was waiting for him at his place?

Are they deliberately avoiding me?

Has he really made up his mind to ignore me?

The next morning, Tuya did not continue waiting for Shiyi.

She composed herself and went straight back to the company.

After all, work matters cannot be put aside because of personal reasons.

However, in the afternoon, Zhou Si sent her a message asking her to come upstairs.

Tuya immediately agreed, "Okay."

He then got up and walked briskly to his office.

Upon entering, she looked puzzled and asked, "What's wrong? Why did you call me here?"

Zhou Si hesitated for a few seconds before slowly saying, "Brother Shi Yi asked me to inform you that after that news was released, based on clues provided by the audience, Keane's matter has come to light."

This morning, Shi Yi's men received news that someone claiming to be the missing person had been identified.

After initial investigation, it appears that this person's characteristics match the description given above very closely.

He's already sent someone to confirm, and they've even given you the address. He wants you to go check it out.

Tuya looked surprised and delighted. "So fast? Then... what about the Time Wingers?"

Zhou Si shook his head. "I don't know. He only sent someone to deliver a message; he didn't show up himself!"

Didn't you have a proper talk with him when you got home that night?

A bitter expression instantly appeared on Tuya's face.

She shook her head helplessly. "That night, he didn't go back at all. I asked my subordinates where he was, but no one knew. As for location tracking, it seems he turned it off. We can't see him."

Zhou Si was speechless for a moment, seemingly furious.

But he still suggested to Tuya, "In that case, let's put this matter aside for now! I'll have someone send you there to confirm whether that person is Keane."

In any case, we can't let Shi Yi's good intentions go to waste.

His tactic of luring the snake out of its hole is indeed effective. If everything goes smoothly, you will be able to avenge your great grudge.

Tuya thought Zhou Si's words made sense.

After I've taken my revenge, I'll have a proper talk with Shi Yi.

She nodded and firmly replied, "Okay."

Soon after, she followed Zhou Si's men and left the company, heading towards their destination.

The location provided by Shi Yi was a rural garbage dump, where an elderly disabled man lived, making a living by scavenging and collecting garbage.

It is said that he ended up in this place a few years ago.

When Tuya arrived with her men, the man was being questioned by her subordinates who had come to confirm his identity beforehand.

Tuya did not appear; she simply sat in the car and observed quietly.

Through the car window, she saw the man's back, and her first reaction was a jolt in her heart.

The person in front of me is not Keane.

In my memory, Keane was tall and strong, not at all like this hunched figure, and he was as thin as a bamboo pole.

Even though she has been tormented and lived a difficult life over the years, and it's possible that she has lost some weight, it shouldn't have changed her body shape to the point of being completely different.

Although the missing person notice was based on predictions about his situation, it shouldn't be like this.

She always felt that she had contacted the wrong person.

Moreover, she could clearly hear the conversation between his subordinates and him outside through the earpiece.

The man's voice was hoarse and strained, sounding like a broken gong, with a hint of gloom and vicissitude. His tone was very honest, making him sound like a docile person.

However, these details only strengthened Tuya's doubts. She became more and more convinced that the person in front of her was not the Keane she was looking for.

At this moment, his subordinates were still asking questions one by one based on the information provided.

The other party's answer was extremely clever, as if it were true.

However, everyone present knew that the information was all fabricated and that this person never existed.

Therefore, it is indeed somewhat suspicious that this person could answer all the questions.

The person had difficulty moving around and had very long hair. He kept his head down, so his face was not visible from a distance.

Tuya instinctively pressed her face against the car window, her gaze fixed intently on the outside, trying to make out the person's true appearance.

Even if those features don't match up, Tuya can still remember some of Keane's appearance.

This car window is a specially made one-way viewing glass, allowing people inside the car to clearly see everything outside, while people outside cannot see what's happening inside.

The subordinate in the front seat noticed Tuya's actions and got out of the car to find out how the inquiry was going.

The subordinate who had just been questioned replied, "I've asked about most of the questions, and the information largely matches."

"What about your appearance?"

"This one……"

The first group of people seemed unsure how to answer, and could only say, "See for yourself, we can't confirm your appearance."

The person who came down later looked suspicious and immediately ordered, "Turn him around so I can take a look."

So the rest of the people acted according to the instructions.

In no time, the man turned to face the direction Tuya was facing.

Even though they were mentally prepared and well-informed, their men were still shocked when they saw the man's face with their own eyes.

The two henchmen who went to help the man almost dropped him when their hands trembled.

It was truly... This person's face was covered with dense, gruesome scars, each one particularly horrifying.

Judging from the marks, they seem to be old wounds from many years ago.

His entire face looked exceptionally grotesque and terrifying because of these scars, sending chills down one's spine.

Just then, the other person slowly raised their eyes and looked over, a strange smile spreading across their face.

Then, he tossed his hair, revealing a set of yellowed teeth, and said with a scruffy beard, "Are you my long-lost nephew?"

I'm sorry, after my injury, I don't remember much about my past, and I don't recognize many people!
