"What did you say?" Qiao Wanwan asked in surprise, "The murderer has appeared?"

"The murderer wanted to frame you, but since you weren't taken away by the police, she will definitely investigate where things went wrong."

Qiao Wanwan nodded. "Yes."

“I monitor the police’s internal network, and I will receive a notification if anyone intrudes.”

"So the computer beeped just now because someone hacked into it? Did you trace the attacker's address?"

“The other party noticed and stopped in time, failing to catch up.” Zhan Jingting’s eyes darkened. “But at least it proves that she’s getting a little restless.”

“Jingting, actually, when I found out the murderer might be a woman, I was quite happy, at least it proved it wasn’t my master.” Qiao Wanwan looked at him. “But what I didn’t tell you is that after I learned how I was drugged, I was absolutely certain that the drug was related to my master!”

Why do you say that?

"Because my master gave me orange juice back then, and even the flowers were the same tulips. It's too much of a coincidence. I even have a premonition that this is a signal from my master. If the murderer is really a woman, then she must be connected to my master!"

“Wanwan, this is no small matter.” Zhan Jingting said with a serious expression, “The Ghost Hand Doctor has been missing for many years. If he really reappears and is related to the murderer who killed Chairman Wen, then this matter is serious.”

"Think about it, a pair of black hands that stir up trouble in the shadows and dare to offend even the Wen and Zhan families, with the help of the Ghost Hand Divine Doctor, must be no ordinary people."

“I really hope it has nothing to do with my master, and if my master knew it was a setup targeting me, he would never have intervened. But this is just too much of a coincidence, and my intuition gives me a very bad feeling.”

"Wanwan, let's not think about it anymore." Zhan Jingting patted her hair. "There's no use in making any guesses now. We can only wait for the murderer to surface. But since it's aimed at you, I will never let it go."

"Since it might be related to my master, I must find out the truth as soon as possible."

"good."

......

The funeral is scheduled for three days later.

Qiao Wanwan had no right to participate, and Zhan Jingting didn't go in person either, so he arranged for Zhan Yin to go instead.

Zhan Yin was displeased, "Wen Xue was so rude to Qiao Wanwan, what's the point of going? It's bad luck."

Zhan Jingting said coldly, "Just go when I tell you to. Stop talking nonsense."

"Alright, alright, I'll go. But let me make this clear first: I won't give the Wen family any face. If anyone dares to talk nonsense in front of me, I'll turn on them on the spot."

Zhan Jingting instructed, "Jiang Dong, you accompany Zhan Yin."

"Yes, Master Zhan."

"Wait a minute." Qiao Wanwan led Eleven downstairs. "Zhan Yin, take Eleven with you. Today is his maternal grandfather's funeral, and he should go."

"Alright."

Qiao Wanwan squatted down. "Eleven, remember what your sister Wanwan told you. Your grandfather loves you very much. Today you are going to see him off, so you must be good and listen to your brother Yin."

"I see."

"Go on, sweetie." Qiao Wanwan called over Zheng Ma, "You come with me and take good care of Shiyi."

"Yes, madam."

Qiao Wanwan watched their departing figures, quite worried, "Won't Zhan Yin cause trouble?"

"With Jiangdong here, nothing will happen."

"That's good."

In the evening, Wen Lijing called.

“Miss Qiao, my father’s funeral is over. Zhan Yin took Eleven back. I heard from Eleven that you sent him. Thank you.”

“It is only right for a junior to bid farewell to a senior, Mr. Wen. I don’t know how to comfort you, I can only say, please accept my condolences.”

"Thank you, I know. My father has been laid to rest. What I need to do now is find the real culprit and let him rest in peace."

"Um."

"By the way, Jingting told me that the murderer hacked into the police's backend system, but he couldn't track down the address."

"Um."

Wen Lijing sighed, "Jing Ting is a computer expert. If even he can't track it down, it means the other party has some background... But thinking about it, it makes sense. Someone who dared to kill my father couldn't be an ordinary person."

"How's your investigation into the Wen family's rivals going?"

“I have not been involved in the operation of Wens Group, so I am not very familiar with this aspect, which is why the investigation is a bit slow.”

"Don't worry, Jingting and I are also investigating, and the truth will come out eventually."

"Um."

The two didn't say much. Qiao Wanwan quickly hung up the phone and went to the kitchen to prepare what Shiyi liked to eat.

Half an hour later, Zhan Yin rushed into the kitchen as soon as he got home. "I'm starving! Is there anything to eat?"

Qiao Wanwan glanced at him. "Didn't you already have lunch?"

"You don't know, it's very physically demanding in a situation like that, and I was starving."

Qiao Wanwan served him a bowl of seafood porridge, "Have something to eat first, dinner will be ready soon."

"Mmm," Zhan Yin said between bites, "Don't you want to know what happened at the funeral?"

"I'm not interested."

"No way, what a show! At the funeral, the Wen family's collateral branches are all plotting to seize power. They can't wait a moment longer."

Qiao Wanwan asked curiously, "Chairman Wen has children, so how could a collateral branch possibly seize power?"

"You don't know this, do you? Wen Lijing has been involved in politics and has never interfered with the Wen Group. The second son, Wen Lixuan, is just like me, a free spirit who doesn't care about this. Not to mention his daughter. So why don't the Wen family's collateral branches hurry up and try to grab a piece of the pie? They say they're helping, but in reality, they're just trying to steal the pie."

Qiao Wanwan became interested, "And then what happened? The Wen family certainly wouldn't agree, right?"

"Of course I didn't agree, but several members of the collateral branches made a fuss about Wen Lixuan's inability to shoulder the responsibility, and the atmosphere became very tense. In the end, it was Wen Ru who stood up and said that she would assist Wen Lixuan, and the matter was settled."

"Wen Ru?"

"Yes, she has a lot of influence in the Wen family. She's also very capable. Once she makes a decision, no one else can say anything."

Qiao Wanwan nodded. "It seems that the internal turmoil in the Wen family has temporarily subsided."

"Um."

Qiao Wanwan composed herself. "Was Eleven a good girl?"

"Of course you'll behave when I'm around."

Qiao Wanwan pouted, "Stop flattering yourself, Eleven has always been very well-behaved."

"I took him out today, so of course I deserve credit."

"Alright, I'll reward you with a big chicken leg later."

"That's more like it."

......

On Monday, Qiao Wanwan went to school with Zhan Yin as usual.

As soon as she entered the school gate, she felt that the students passing by were looking at her with strange eyes.

"Um, Qiao Wanwan, what did you do again? Why are these people looking at you like you've seen a ghost?" Zhan Yin asked curiously.

"It's not the first time, I'm used to it, don't worry about it."

As soon as Qiao Wanwan reached the classroom door, she knew what was going on.

A banner was hung at the classroom door, with the words "Qiao Wanwan, the murderer, is at large!"
