Shi Zirui was startled, but on the surface he remained cunning and his expression was unpredictable.

Not only was her expression calm, but her mind was also working quickly and steadily. She shouldn't answer the question directly here, nor should she be sarcastic like before. Instead, she should... She showed an expression of sudden enlightenment, leaned against the soft backrest of the sofa, exhaled slowly, and said:

"I see. No wonder the innocent are affected."

"Oh? So you still know why I invited you here." Qiu Zhichen said coldly.

Shi Zirui smiled and said, "When I first started working for the Wang family, I was ordered to stay with Sister Zhong. At that time, the eldest daughter had just been born, and I was her nanny. But so many years have passed, and she has grown up.

Do you know what it means to have been by your side for such a long time?"

Qiu Zhichen asked, "Tell me about it?"

"Miss Wang is the 'Son of Heaven', which means that I have a great enough possibility to influence the future of the Wang family."

Shi Zirui said self-deprecatingly, "If I weren't so old, no matter where she married, I might still be a maidservant."

"You're joking." Qiu Zhichen said sincerely, "You're the dream lover of so many men in Wanghai."

"Alright." Shi Zirui waved her hand and said, "Brother Li probably wants you to test my reaction, but this is a very complicated matter, and he won't expect you to achieve anything. I'll explain it to him in person when the time comes."

Qiu Zhichen took the opportunity of the conversation to stare at the woman in front of him, looking at her wantonly. As a man, he certainly knew how to appreciate beauty, but he didn't dare to have those thoughts, let alone take action. He put pressure on her on the surface, but in fact he had no idea why he had to talk to this powerful woman this time.

His superiors only told him to act tough and asked him to ask a few questions. To be honest, Qiu Zhichen had no idea what the deep meaning of these questions was.

Brother Li asked him to observe Shi Zirui's reaction when she heard these questions and report any abnormalities.

But now it seems that Shi Zirui is very calm and composed, and every word she says is very well-organized.

Qiu Zhichen felt relieved and didn't intend to cause any more trouble. He knew very well that he and this woman were not on the same level, so he just finished what he had planned and completed the task with an explanation.

"Then you should get some rest." Qiu Zhichen stood up and said, "After tonight's questioning and investigation, maybe you will really be a 'servant of the dragon'. When that happens, don't remember my recklessness today."

"Hmph." Shi Zirui snorted coldly, her expression softening as she said, "Can I contact the outside world now?"

"Please be patient for a while. This is Brother Li's request, and I dare not disobey."

Shi Zirui watched him leave with a smile. The surveillance camera was still watching her continuously. However, even if they watched her intently, they could not see any change in Shi Zirui's expression.

Of course, no one could notice that Shi Zirui's smooth back, hidden behind her clothes, was already soaked with sweat.

The inquiry and investigation are definitely not aimed at herself alone. This storm will first sweep all the people and things that are openly involved with Wang Jinling, and then shift to the dark. If the eldest lady's flaws are discovered along the way, all their plans will fail and they will lose everything.

In order to prevent this from happening, the eldest lady and her discussed how to deal with it when it happened.

Simply put, destroy evidence, kill key figures, and cut off the channels for information leakage.

Wang Jinling has now lost contact with the outside world, so the trigger of this plan can only be held in Shi Zirui's hands.

Pull the trigger and the crisis will be resolved. Even if they cannot completely overcome the difficulties, the betrayal they did behind the scenes against Wang Kai will definitely not be exposed.

But in return, their foundation will suffer a severe blow and they will lose many chips.

The decision had to be made in this brief window, but what could Shi Zirui do? Though seemingly seated in a comfortable and luxurious room, she was actually trapped in a dark cell, cut off from the outside world and without further intelligence. All her decisions were based on previously outdated information and speculation.

This is undoubtedly like walking blindfolded on a mountain rope bridge.

Looking at the constantly flashing screen on the TV in front of him, Shi Zirui was distracted for a long time, and only came back to his senses after a while.

She and the eldest daughter actually made a contingency plan, but this plan was too uncontrollable and had too many unexpected consequences because it involved the boy.

It's funny to say that when Shi Zirui mentioned boys, she felt an inexplicable sense of security in her heart.

Maybe it's because he is a good person.

Shi Zirui no longer hesitated and calmly turned her wrist, seemingly checking the time, but actually quietly pressing the button on the side.

......

......

In the ward, Chen Tinghan hung up the phone and said to Zhou Jinwei on the bed, "I got a list with a bunch of names and a bunch of evidence. The Qin family will take action based on this list."

Zhou Jinwei was silent for a while before saying, "Boss Chen, you are really scary."

Zhou Jinwei knew very well why this list ended up in Chen Tinghan's hands.

He made a deal with Li Qiushuang, and let most of the Li Ze faction perform a play to separate the master and servant. Wang Jinling was too difficult to deal with. If he started with her directly, he was afraid that it would take countless rounds and what would be the price to pay.

So Chen Tinghan decided to cut Shi Zirui out separately and place her in a black box, forcing her to make a choice through constant misleading information.

No matter how smart a person is, if he is in a place where he cannot receive any information from the outside world, it will be difficult for him to distinguish between truth and falsehood.

She seemed to have a choice, but one of the two options was bad, and the other was even worse, so the remaining one was the option Chen Tinghan wanted her to choose.

Chen Tinghan held his forehead and said slowly, "See, this is the benefit of others trusting you. You can be a good person your whole life, but it's best to make people believe that you are an absolutely good person. However, these are all assets that can be sold. The more others trust you, the more powerful these assets will be.

As long as you are determined to betray and sell out, you will be richly rewarded."

Zhou Jinwei suddenly smiled with relief and said, "So what deal did you make with the Li family?"

"To be precise, it's with Li Qiushuang." Chen Tinghan said, "She is an emotional creature. Compared to a man like Li Ze who is full of calculations, she cares more about the lives of her relatives.

So I did the same thing you did, she agreed to play along with me, and I agreed to get her brother out of it."

Zhou Jinwei looked at his calm expression, but suddenly saw through his innermost thoughts: "You are not feeling well. Like me, you are being condemned by morality and conscience."

"I'm trying to convince myself," Chen Tinghan said. "I told myself that although Li Feiche is Li Ze's eldest son and grew up eating the people's blood and sweat, he has no direct involvement in the family business and has lived abroad since he was a child, so he is not that evil.

But I failed.”

Zhou Jinwei laughed heartily: "It's uncomfortable, isn't it?"
