However, Shi Man was willing to give someone like Meng Hui a chance as long as she could play her role. After all, Meng Hui was not a threat to her at all and was just a simple talker who did not cause any substantial harm.
She smiled calmly and nodded casually. “Yes, as long as you have the ability to do what you need to do, I won’t be stingy with your reward.”
Meng Hui looked happy. She knew that this meant that she had agreed. She hurriedly bowed and thanked her before leaving the office happily.
Shi Man watched her leave and suddenly remembered Ning Wei, who was undercover in the secretariat. Her expression darkened slightly as she called Sean.
At that moment, Sean had just summarized the latest findings and was about to report them to Shi Man when he received a call from his boss. He was shocked and picked up decisively. “Boss, what can I do for you?”
Shi Man slowly turned her chair and rested her long legs on the table. “How’s the investigation going?”
Scan immediately sat up straight and said, “I’ve already found out. Third Young Master Shi has been… with Bai Yao recently.”
Her grip on the phone tightened abruptly, and her expression turned ferocious. “What do they do every day?”
Scan paused and hesitated. “They seem to go to the West District to visit a girl every day.”
Shi Man frowned and said in a trembling voice, “Address.”
Scan knew that this matter was important and hurriedly told Shi Man the girl’s home address. “Boss, our people are still watching over there. They definitely can’t escape.”
Shi Man got up and put on her coat. “Yes, send me the girl’s information. I’ll go over now.”
Half an hour later, Meng Hui opened the car door and said carefully, “CEO Shi, do you need me to accompany you up?”
“No need.” Shi Man looked at the time on her watch. “Let me know immediately if my brother arrives.”
“Yes.” Meng Hui understood what she meant. She instructed the chauffeur to drive to a more remote place and stared fixedly at the apartment building. Once she saw Shi Mu, she would immediately report.
Shi Man put her hands in her pockets and slowly walked up the stairs. The information she had seen in the car kept flashing through her mind.
She thought that Bai Yao would try her best to get close to her brother because she had ulterior motives for him. However, she did not expect Bai Yao to have other intentions.
Not only did she blind her with this move, but she also pulled Shi Mu into a quagmire.
Walking to the door of the apartment recorded in the information, Shi Man raised her hand and knocked on the door. Soon, a weak female voice sounded from inside. “Who is it? Who are you looking for?”
“Bai Xue,” Shi Man called her name calmly.
Behind the door, Bai Xue was slightly stunned. She opened the door hesitantly and suddenly saw a face that looked like Shi Mu’s. She immediately understood the other party’s identity.
However, it was clearly too late to close the door now. Shi Man’s hand was firmly stuck in the door frame. Shi Man was so strong that the other party could not move the door at all.
After struggling for a moment, she could only give up and make way. “Come in and talk.”
Only then did Shi Man loosen her grip and ask politely, “Do I need to change my shoes?”
Bai Xue stared at her in disbelief, as if she did not expect her to have such a gentle and polite attitude. After immersing herself in her silent black eyes for a while, Bai Xue realized that she was still waiting for her answer. She hurriedly nodded and said, “I’ll get you slippers.”
“Thank you.” Shi Man waited outside the door politely. She waited for the other party to take out the only pair of women’s slippers from the shoe cabinet before walking in calmly.
Although the Garden District could not compare to the Shi family’s manor, it was considered very good for ordinary residential buildings.
Every apartment had three rooms. Bai Xue’s room was exquisitely decorated and had all the furniture and decorations.
Her gaze swept across every corner of the living room. Shi Man saw the celadon cup on the coffee table and suddenly smiled calmly. “I was wondering why the butler complained about losing a celadon tea set a few days ago. So it’s with you.”
Bai Xue blushed and rubbed her fingers very cautiously. “I’m sorry. I was clumsy a few days ago and broke a tea set, so he…”
“You don’t have to apologize.” Shi Man slowly moved her gaze to her flat stomach and said coldly, “It’s only right for my brother to treat you well. Sit down and talk.”
Bai Xue nodded. After Shi Man sat down, she picked up her courage to sit properly on a chair a little further away.
Shi Man couldn’t help but laugh. She couldn’t help but tease, “Why are you sitting so far away? Can I eat you?”
Bai Xue lowered her head shyly and moved her body slightly to the sofa beside her. She quietly looked up at Shi Man.
She was the daughter of the Bai family and had admired those professional women who had their own careers since she was young. Shi Man’s black suit suited her taste, and she was so nervous that she did not know where to look.
After being stunned for a while, she realized that Shi Man had not even drunk a sip of water after entering. She quickly got up to pour her tea, but someone suddenly grabbed her arm.
Shi Man stared at her expressionlessly and felt the strong pulse under her fingertips. She frowned..
