After the tycoon went bankrupt, he was raised by the villainous female supporting character and beca

——? ? ?

Why are you investigating him? Have you rekindled your old feelings for him?

Shen Yanhui didn't understand.

Qin Song: Bah! No one would rekindle their old flame with him. I checked his schedule because I wanted to get something from him.

Shen Yan thought for a moment and guessed: Was it the WeChat screenshots that Tang Mingli mentioned?

Qin Song: Yes.

To clear Pei Xingzhi of the accusation of harassing men, Tang Mingli's recording alone is far from enough. Qin Song needs much more convincing evidence to truly humiliate Qin Sisi!

Shen Yan replied: I understand. I'll have someone check for you right now.

Qin Song: Thank you!

Shen Yan did not reply to her again.

But after hesitating for a few seconds, she sent another message.

—Shen Yanhui, why are you still willing to help me? We agreed that it was a transaction, but now only you are fulfilling the transaction, while I haven't been able to help you at all.

Shen Yan was silent for a while. Qin Song had already drawn the general outline of the earrings on his tablet when he saw her message pop up.

"Qin Song, our identities are different. I am the only daughter of the Shen Group. What might be an insurmountable obstacle for you is something I can solve with a wave of my hand. The conditions you offered me were too simple; I could easily fulfill them by spending a little money. But you are different. You have to persuade someone who utterly dislikes me to develop some goodwill towards me, which is something that money can't solve."

—I had actually anticipated these two connection failures, so I don't think it's a big deal.

—I personally agreed to this deal, and I won't give up just because of a few failures. You don't need to feel embarrassed either, because what you owe me now will be paid back to me little by little in the future.

—Qin Song, don't be too happy yet. Once Pei Xingzhi really develops feelings for me, you won't be laughing anymore.

Shen Yan replied with four messages in a row. Qin Song read them carefully one by one, but couldn't help but laugh.

—Shen Yanhui, there will never be a day when I can't laugh. Because even if Pei Xingzhi truly develops feelings for you, it won't be the kind of feelings you think he has.

—You still don't understand him. Gaining even a little bit of goodwill to save your life might be your limit.

Shen Yan replied: Don't jump to conclusions too soon. We'll only know the extent of the problem later.

Qin Song: Then let's see what you can do. Anyway, I'll only help you gain some goodwill to save your life.

Shen Yan replied: I know. I have to go now, I got news about Qin Sisi. I'll go take care of that first, and then I'll contact you again.

Qin Song: Thank you.

The chat ended there, and Qin Song put away his phone to continue focusing on his drawing.

Pei Xingzhi woke up after only half an hour of sleep. As soon as he woke up, he called Ye Ci to discuss the matter of hiring people.

Qin Song sat on the sofa, quietly and discreetly doing his work, keeping company without making a sound to disturb him.

Shen Yanhui acted quickly, and two days later, she received Lu Yibai's schedule for the next three days.

She hesitated between several locations before finally choosing one that wasn't too deliberate.

"Xiaoxuan isn't working today. I'll ask her to come with you. Your workplace is so far away, I'm a little worried about her going."

Before leaving, Pei Xingzhi pulled Qin Song into his arms and nuzzled her neck affectionately with his nose.

Qin Song got goosebumps all over from his rubbing and couldn't help but raise his hand to cover his face.

“Xiao Xuan’s day off has already been booked by Zhou Limin, so I can’t let her accompany me.”

"Zhou Limin made a reservation?" Pei Xingzhi lowered his eyes slightly, opened his mouth and bit Qin Song's palm, but released it a few seconds later, kissing the warm teeth marks with tenderness.

"He thinks he can just book a reservation like that? Who does he think he is?"

The glasses on Pei Xingzhi's nose were a bit uncomfortable to touch, so Qin Song simply took them off for him. Pei Xingzhi's vision immediately became blurry, only Qin Song's pale face remained clear.

He liked this unique clarity, and his gaze towards Qin Song instantly became more focused.

Qin Song stroked his long eyelashes and relayed to Pei Xingzhi everything that Pei Lingxuan had told her in the WeChat message that morning.

"A couple of days ago, Xiaoxuan went on a business trip to the next city with Zhou Limin and unexpectedly discovered that Zhou Limin was a bit dishonest."

Pei Xingzhi deliberately blinked and poked Qin Song's finger with his eyelashes: "How ambiguous?"

Qin Song first curled his lips into a wicked smile, then gently opened his mouth and uttered four words.

"Tax evasion".

Pei Xingzhi was a businessman, and he knew what Zhou Limin was all about as soon as he heard the word.

"Oh?" He raised one eyebrow at an angle, his expression immediately becoming amusing.

"So Xiaoxuan wants to find evidence of his illegal and disorderly conduct and send him to jail?"

Qin Song nodded: "If we can send it, we will. If we can't, it'll be satisfying to make him suffer a lot."

“Yes, that’s fine.” Pei Xingzhi readily agreed.

Qin Song glanced at the time and realized he couldn't delay any longer, so he jumped out of Pei Xingzhi's arms, grabbed his bag, and ran outside.

"Hey—" Pei Xingzhi's eyes widened as he watched her figure quickly blur from clear to blurry, and he said in a slightly aggrieved voice, "You haven't kissed me yet..."

Qin Song left the hospital and took a taxi directly to the city center of Yuncheng.

The intelligence report Shen Yan sent said that Lu Yibai had a lunch party at a high-end restaurant in the city center today. So Qin Song planned to create a chance encounter there.

The city center is always bustling. After Qin Song got out of the car, he found a seat near the restaurant and waited for Lu Yibai to appear.

About two hours later, Lu Yibai's personal assistant appeared at the restaurant entrance.

Qin Song stared intently for a few moments, confirming that Lu Yibai's assistant was walking out, followed by several people in suits. Only then did he quickly take out his eye drops from his bag and frantically put several drops into his eyes.

The eye drops weren't stinging. After Qin Song applied them and blinked hard, they immediately slid down his cheeks like tears.

"Mr. Lu is truly capable..."

Surrounded by the crowd, Lu Yibai walked out of the restaurant, listening to the common flattery with a faint smile, only occasionally responding with a few words.

"Mr. Lu, that person looks like Qin Song."

Suddenly, his personal assistant, Xiao Chen, whispered something in his ear.

He was taken aback at first, then suddenly looked up and followed Xiao Chen's gaze to the open-air coffee shop on his right.

In a corner of the coffee shop, a slender woman with a clearly visible pregnant belly sat alone at a table. She wasn't using her phone or doing anything else; she was just staring blankly into space.

Lu Yibai couldn't see her face, but he could tell from her figure that she was Qin Song.

"Why is she here alone?" Lu Yibai frowned, his eyes filled with doubt and wariness.

Xiao Chen shook his head: "I don't know, but I saw her wipe her eyes several times, as if she was crying."
