Chi Baiyi revealed a meaningful smile.

Qin Yuanyao's heart was pounding like a deer's, fearing that he would say something shocking.

Chi Baiyi composed himself and stopped teasing her, saying, "Just make it the same as when the cheese was here."

Qin Yuanyao secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Judging from Chi Baiyi's expression just now, she thought...

She reasonably suspected that Chi Baiyi had been deliberately teasing her just now!

"Okay." Qin Yuanyao agreed quite readily.

Chi Baiyi's request wasn't excessive, especially considering that she actually had some feelings for Chi Baiyi...

"When do you have time? Would you like to come with me to Grandpa's for a meal with cheese?" Chi Baiyi asked again.

"sure."

If, as Chi Naozi said, Grandpa Chi's days are numbered, she wouldn't mind visiting him more often before this kind old man passes away.

Moreover, ten years later, he would be considered her family.

Chi Baiyi's phone rang at that moment; it was Mu Hai calling.

Chi Baiyi answered the phone and said "Hello," and Mu Hai said, "President Chi, I found something about the website you gave me."

Chi Baiyi remained silent, her expression unchanged, while Mu Hai proceeded to recount the details.

"The website was very well hidden, with multiple layers of encryption and servers located in several countries. However, the tech expert I found still managed to crack some things. It was the website for a chat room, and the usernames in the chat room were all numbers, making it impossible to find out who the users were or how many users there were. We only managed to crack some of the content in the chat room as well."

"Judging from the cracked content, it was a very shocking chat room with very low moral standards. I have sent the cracked chat content to your WeChat, you can take a look."

"Okay, let me see."

As Chi Baiyi spoke, he took his phone from his ear, opened WeChat, and clicked on the screenshot that Mu Hai had sent him.

He glanced at it briefly, his eyes showing disgust.

The chat content was indeed very disturbing, containing extremely disrespectful remarks towards women and even content that violated ethics and morality.

Chi Baiyi put the phone back to her ear and asked, "What else did you find out?"

"We found several IPs that had logged into this website. None of the IPs we found belonged to Cui Yi or Lin Heng, so we couldn't pinpoint who they were. However, one of those IPs was located at Rongsen Villa."

Chi Baiyi was slightly taken aback.

Rongsen Villa is the villa area where Mr. Chi lived.

"Can you find out how many times those IPs logged into the website and when they logged in?" Chi Baiyi asked.

“We can’t find it.” Mu Hai said, “The person who created this chat room is very shrewd. I feel that he has taken a lot of interference and encryption measures to prevent people from finding the website.”

"Ms. Qin said she logged into this website in the morning, but couldn't log in again in the evening. That's because the website was deleted, and the deletion occurred right after Ms. Qin logged into it in the morning."

Chi Baiyi frowned slightly: "I understand."

After hanging up with Mu Hai, he relayed everything Mu Hai had told him to Qin Yuanyao, including the chat screenshots.

After Qin Yuanyao finished reading, her expression was just as disgusted as his had been before.

"Cui Yi should be a member of this chat room, so Lin Heng should also be a member of this chat room," Qin Yuanyao speculated.

Chi Baiyi nodded, agreeing with her statement.

"The 'boss' that Cui Yi mentioned, the one who sent money to both Cui Yi and Lin Heng, is most likely a member of this chat room," Qin Yuanyao added.

Chi Baiyi nodded again.

"But why would that person send money to Cui Yi and Lin Heng? He certainly doesn't have so much money he can't spend it all and is just giving it away for charity. He must have a purpose. But what could his purpose be?" Qin Yuanyao wondered.

"Winning people's hearts?" Chi Baiyi guessed.

"After winning people's hearts, what does he want to do with these scumbags?" Qin Yuanyao asked.

“Let those people do things for him,” Chi Baiyi said.

"Users in the chat room are distinguished by their ID numbers. I don't know if they can chat privately with each other. If they can, it will be difficult to find out who sent the money. If they can't chat privately, it's simpler. The person who sent money to Cui Yi and Lin Heng is very likely the person who created this website, because the founder must be able to see the information of every user."

Chi Baiyi's eyes showed appreciation: "Yes, that's exactly it."

"Mu Hai said there was a login IP at Rongsen Villa. Who do you think entered that chat room?" Qin Yuanyao asked.

"I wonder if the chat room is related to Cui Yi's arson ten years later. If it is, the person whose IP address is at Rongsen Villa is very likely an acquaintance," Chi Baiyi pondered.

"Acquaintances?" Qin Yuanyao murmured, "This range seems to have narrowed down a lot, but if we want to list suspects, the scope is still quite large."

Chi Baiyi nodded in agreement: "Yes. Just because the IP address is at Rongsen Villa doesn't mean that person necessarily lives there. Sometimes it means that person logged into that website when they visited Rongsen Villa."

"Yes," Qin Yuanyao said, "that's exactly what I meant."

“I already have some candidates in mind. I’ll have Mu Hai investigate first to see if he can find anything.” Chi Baiyi’s eyes gleamed.

...

A few days later.

One day, Qin Yuanyao had less work and finished early, so she waited for Chi Baiyi to get off work and then went with him to see Grandpa Chi.

Chi Nai was fishing with Grandpa Chi in the small pond in the yard, the two of them having a great time.

When Xu Zhiming came over and said that Qin Yuanyao and Chi Baiyi had arrived, Chi Naoqi excitedly threw down the fishing net and ran out.

"Mom—" Chi Nao ran straight to Qin Yuanyao, stretched out her arms, and asked for a hug and a kiss.

Qin Yuanyao picked up Chi Nao and kissed her face repeatedly.

When he heard Chi Nao call Qin Yuanyao "Mom," Grandpa Chi was clearly stunned.

Seeing Chi Nailu and Qin Yuanyao interacting like a real mother and daughter, Old Master Chi's expression turned solemn.

He beckoned Chi Baiyi to the other side.

"Are you with Qin Yuanyao?" Old Master Chi asked.

"Not yet, I'm working towards that goal," Chi Baiyi said without any attempt to hide it.

"Why are all the cheeses starting to call her 'Mom'?"

"I don't know," Chi Baiyi lied. "Cheese has always liked Yaoyao, and as you've seen, Yaoyao genuinely likes Cheese too. They get along well, so whatever she calls Yaoyao is fine as long as she's happy."

"But what will outsiders think if they hear this?" Old Master Chi said.

"Outsiders might think that Yao Yao and I are together. That was my goal to begin with, so it's not a bad thing if they think that beforehand," Chi Baiyi said casually.

Grandpa Chi sighed.
