After I pushed the maid away, she realized what was happening and tried to stop me, but I had already entered the villa.

At this moment, Madam Chang was sitting on the sofa, slowly sipping her tea. When she saw me arrive, she slightly raised her eyes and gestured for me to sit down.

I didn't have that much patience, so I stood directly next to her without any politeness and asked, "Tell me, what is your purpose in deliberately leading me here!"

“Miss Jiang is a smart woman, she should know what I’m after. This USB drive is a hot potato in your hands. You gave my husband a fake USB drive, and now that he knows, he certainly won’t let it go.”

"I saw that you were young and inevitably hot-blooded, so I specially said a lot of nice things to my husband, so he was willing to let you go for the time being, on the condition that you hand over the USB drive."

After going through so much trouble, if it's still just to clean up Fu Xinyi's mess, I wonder how much benefit Fu Xinyi gave me. Is the relationship between the two really that inseparable?

"Madam Chang is truly a virtuous wife. I am quite envious of her. However, you don't look well, and your clothes are much looser. I imagine you've been having a difficult time lately."

I've already guessed what she's been going through lately. The huge blunder at the banquet, plus the sudden disappearance of Liu Mei—any smart person would know who's behind all of this.

That child posed no threat to Chang Xin at all. On the contrary, Chang Xin and Madam Chang had been childless for so many years, and he felt empty inside.

Now, not only is the child gone, but the adults are gone too. If the murderer in this case is not Chang Xin, then the only person who could have done this is Mrs. Chang.

"To be honest, I feel sorry for you, Mrs. Chang. You've worked so hard for your husband, but he not only doesn't appreciate it, he's also having an affair with another woman."

"You two haven't had a child for so many years. I originally thought it was because your husband had a health problem, but now it seems that's probably not the case."

I said these things on purpose to sow discord between the two of us. Once a rift develops, it's impossible to trust each other like before.

Willow eyebrows represent the rift between the two people. Since this rift already exists, let me magnify it.

“Madam Chang, have you ever thought about this? You are still a useful person now, which is why you have achieved your current status. But what will happen to you if you become useless one day?”

After hearing my words, Madam Chang's attitude became noticeably serious, but she quickly recovered and her smile vanished. She then spoke with displeasure.

“We are discussing the USB drive. Your attempts to sow discord are useless. Do you think I would believe your words? My husband and I are a united couple and will not be swayed by your few words.”

I didn't say anything more, but took out my phone and pulled up a few photos. The photos showed Chang Xin and several young women talking very close to each other, or with ambiguous smiles on their faces.

I originally planned to use these photos to deal with Chang Xin through public opinion, but I didn't expect that the first thing I did today would be to sow discord between the couple.

“I know you’re going to say that these photos don’t mean anything, and I don’t mean anything by it. I just wanted to remind Mrs. Chang that people should think more about themselves.”

I glanced down at the time. On my way here, I had already called Ge Zeyu and explained my situation, asking him to send someone to look for us as soon as possible. If we could find us, it would mean that we were not in any danger.

We had agreed that we would contact each other in half an hour, but he still hasn't sent me a message, which makes me feel increasingly uneasy.

Could it be that my mother is really in Madam Chang's hands?

Just as I was hesitating whether to continue stalling for time, my phone suddenly rang. Ge Zeyu sent me an "ok" message, and I instantly understood what it meant.

At this moment, my tone changed, no longer as gentle as before. Then I slowly stood up and said, "Thank you for the tea today, Madam Chang. However, I have already found the person I was looking for. Instead of worrying about other people's affairs, I should worry about myself becoming a useless person and being kicked out one day."

"You should know in your heart how much a man cares about carrying on the family line."

After I finished speaking, I turned and left, not caring what he was thinking. As for the evidence, I would absolutely not give it to him.

After I got in the car, I asked Ge Zeyu where he had found my mother. Ge Zeyu told me on the phone that my mother had been harassed by some people when she went to the cemetery. These people were deliberately causing trouble and delaying our time.

Then someone stole my mother's phone, which must have been at Mrs. Chang's behest. They took advantage of this time difference to catch me off guard, which made me very worried.

If I had panicked and agreed to her conditions, I would have lost my only piece of evidence now.

Speaking of this matter, what concerns me even more is whether Ge Zeyu actually sent anyone to investigate the inspection team.

"What did the inspection team say? Is there any way to get close to their leader?"

Ge Zeyu hesitated for several seconds on the other end of the phone before slowly saying, "I have investigated the matter of the inspection team thoroughly, and I plan to start preparing to cater to their preferences in the near future."

I immediately asked him about this matter, whether he had any plans. Ge Zeyu told me that there was another thing he needed my help with, “I remember that your family used to have a maid who made desserts, and she was very good at it. The leader of this inspection team has a problem, which is that he likes to eat sweets. We can start with this step and see if we can succeed.”

There were no other good options left, so we had to try anything, even if it seemed hopeless. Fortunately, the method worked, and our evidence was soon on the inspection team's desk.

Because of this piece of evidence, the head of the inspection team specially sent someone to inquire about the truth of our situation. The person was a middle-aged man who looked very kind. After arriving, he first introduced himself. His surname was Lan and his name was Lan Jian.

"I came here today specifically to visit you. I don't have any other intentions. I just want to know if this evidence was submitted by Miss Jiang, and I also want to learn about the cause and effect of this matter from Miss Jiang."
