Hearing Li Jin say this, Li Yanjun smiled with relief: "My daughter is so thoughtful. Your grandfather is definitely looking forward to your visit." The two tidied up and went out to Li Jin's grandfather's house.

All the way there, Li Jin was still thinking about her godfather going to the park to play chess in the freezing cold. Although her godfather enjoyed playing chess, it was indeed a bit unusual for him to be out in this weather. When they arrived at her maternal grandfather's house, her grandfather beamed with joy upon seeing Li Jin. "My dear granddaughter, I've been waiting for you!" Li Jin affectionately took her grandfather's arm, helped him sit down, and began to carefully take his pulse.

After taking his pulse, Li Jin smiled and said, "Grandpa, you're in good health, but you still need to take care to keep warm in winter." Grandpa nodded, took Li Jin's hand, and started chatting. Li Yanjun watched the close interaction between the grandfather and granddaughter, her eyes filled with warmth.

Meanwhile, Qin Guodong and Wan You continued to monitor Director Wu. They discovered that Director Wu not only accepted bribes but also had a clandestine affair with that woman, seemingly involving shady dealings in some important projects. Their investigation over the past few days made them increasingly aware of the gravity of the matter, yet they dared not reveal it easily, fearing they might alert him.

After returning from her maternal grandfather's house, Li Jin couldn't stop thinking about her godfather. She decided to find an opportunity to talk to him and see if she could get any information out of him. That evening, Li Jin stayed for dinner, waiting for Qin Guodong to return.

As soon as Qin Guodong entered, he saw Li Jin and was somewhat surprised: "Jin'er, what brings you here?" Li Jin smiled and said, "Godfather, I just missed you and Godmother. By the way, Godfather, I heard from Godmother that you've been going to the park to play chess a lot lately. It's so cold; you must take care of yourself." Qin Guodong's heart tightened, but his face remained calm: "It's nothing, Jin'er, I'm just having some fun with Lao Wan, stretching my muscles." Li Jin keenly sensed her godfather's unusual behavior, but she didn't want to press him directly, so she could only remind him to take care of himself.

That night, Li Jin tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep. She kept feeling that her godfather was hiding something from her godmother—could he be having an affair? But if he wanted to see someone, they wouldn't be together, would they? Li Jin was startled by her own thoughts. It couldn't be. Never mind, she'd just say she'd visit her godfather's workplace tomorrow!

In the afternoon, just as Li Jin was about to leave, he saw a woman hurriedly walk out of the office building. She was dressed very flamboyantly and looked somewhat flustered. Li Jin's heart skipped a beat; even though he only glanced at her, she seemed strangely familiar! Before Li Jin could even remember who she was…

The woman flagged down a car, and seeing her about to leave, Li Jin, almost without thinking, hailed one too and followed. After circling the city a few times, the car stopped in front of an upscale residential complex. The woman got out and walked straight into the complex. Li Jin paid the fare and followed her in. She watched the woman enter a building, then found a secluded spot downstairs to wait.

After waiting for a long time, the woman hurried out again, carrying a file folder. Li Jin followed her once more. This time, the woman went to a teahouse and entered a private room. Li Jin asked a waiter and learned that there was another man in the room. Her curiosity grew, and she decided to find out what was going on inside. Because the woman had her back to Li Jin the whole time, Li Jin hadn't been able to see her face clearly! She only felt that her back looked so familiar!

Li Jin cautiously circled the teahouse, her eyes scanning the surroundings like radar. Suddenly, she noticed a small window next to the private room, positioned rather high and inconspicuous.

A thought struck her: this might be a good opportunity to observe what was happening inside the private room. So, she found a stool nearby, tiptoed onto it, and then gently peeked through the crack in the window.
