"Sister, I've come to see you," Zhang Yuzhe said, gazing at Tao Ruolan with a deep and unusual affection in his eyes.

Looking at Tao Ruolan's somewhat haggard face, Zhang Yuzhe could tell that she seemed rather tired, and he knew that she had been under a lot of pressure these past few days. This made Zhang Yuzhe feel a sense of pity.

After closing the door, Zhang Yuzhe couldn't help but embrace Tao Ruolan's somewhat plump and soft body tightly, resting his chin on her forehead, and said with affection, "Sister, you've lost weight."

"Yuzhe, I'm very happy that you came to see me, really..." Tao Ruolan looked at Zhang Yuzhe, seeming genuinely pleased, her eyes filled with gratitude, appearing on the verge of tears.

"Sister, I know you're under a lot of pressure, but I believe in you. You're not that kind of person. Yuzhe will face this difficulty with you and won't let anyone hurt you," Zhang Yuzhe said solemnly, holding Tao Ruolan's shoulders and looking into her eyes.

Zhang Yuzhe knew that Tao Ruolan hadn't told him the truth because she didn't want to involve him, but Zhang Yuzhe wasn't afraid of being implicated.

"Mm!" Tao Ruolan's heart was filled with emotion upon hearing Zhang Yuzhe's words. She leaned her full body tightly into Zhang Yuzhe's arms, and Zhang Yuzhe held Tao Ruolan tightly in his embrace.

Perhaps it was because Tao Ruolan had been deprived for so long, but after a period of intimacy in bed, they were both panting slightly. Zhang Yuzhe looked at Tao Ruolan's flushed cheeks, his eyes filled with deep affection.

"Sister, have you figured out who's causing you trouble?" Zhang Yuzhe held Tao Ruolan's head close to his.

"Yes, I know, but there's no evidence at all, and that's not the most important thing. The most important thing now is how to clean up the mess. Everyone is watching me, and my every move is being monitored," Tao Ruolan said helplessly.

Zhang Yuzhe frowned and said, "Then is there no way to solve this?"

"Right now, the only way is to find the manager who contracted the Jiangdong Bridge project. Otherwise, I'll have to take the blame," Tao Ruolan said, a helpless expression on her face.

Zhang Yuzhe nodded, understanding Tao Ruolan's meaning. Only by finding the contractor and filing a criminal case against him could Tao Ruolan clear her name.

"Sister, how long can you hold on?" Zhang Yuzhe's eyes narrowed as he looked at Tao Ruolan and asked.

Tao Ruolan nodded and said to Zhang Yuzhe, "It depends on how long the Provincial Discipline Inspection Commission takes to investigate. But even if they don't find anything else on me, they can still charge me with dereliction of duty, it just depends on the severity."

Zhang Yuzhe understood Tao Ruolan's meaning. Only by finding the contractor could Tao Ruolan turn the situation around. Now, it seemed, they could only try to buy as much time as possible.

"Tao Ruolan, where do you think this person is now?" Zhang Yuzhe frowned and asked. The biggest problem now was that the sea of people was vast, and China was so big, finding someone wasn't going to be easy.
