"According to the data currently investigated, there are no signs that the line has derailed."

"His private life is terribly clean. He goes to work, home and the gym every day. He occasionally goes to a beauty salon. He pays great attention to image management."

"People around him generally praise him, saying he is gentle, handsome, responsible, and loves his wife, etc."

As the private detective explained in detail, Xie Zhiyu's brows gradually furrowed.

Duan Xing's good man character seems perfect at first glance, but he has an inexplicable sense of disharmony.

The private detective had the same view. Men understand men better. He changed his mind and said, "But I don't believe there are such perfect men in the world. Please give me another week to conduct an in-depth investigation... We found that Duan Xing spent too much at the beauty salon. I have sent my apprentice to infiltrate as an undercover agent. We need time to get feedback..."

Xie Zhiyu: "Okay, be careful."

“If you have any feedback or need any help, please contact me immediately.”

The private detective's spirit burst out: "Thank you, boss."

The boss is generous. He likes to cooperate with such a wealthy and generous boss who respects employees and, most importantly, pays them promptly so that they can work hard.

The private detective tried hard to dig out some explosive materials about Duan Xing. Based on his many years of professional experience, he knew that Duan Xing was extremely cautious and was almost discovered several times during the tracking. However, this also showed that he was not a simple person and there must be a huge secret behind him.

Big secrets = big money.

The private detective suddenly felt that the future was bright. He stayed cautious and cautious.

However, recently this Phoenix man Duan Xing and the daughter of a wealthy family are preparing to adopt an orphan. He really wants to go back to his childhood and be adopted by a wealthy family, stepping into the watershed of life.

But he could only think about it in his mind. The private detective took out his precious camera and took a lot of photos of Duan Xing who went out alone.

After returning from the welfare home, Xie Liuzheng continued to look at the welfare home's candidate list. In addition to practicing the piano and exercising, she would go to the welfare home with Duan Xing.

After this happened many times, Xie Liuzheng quickly noticed that something was wrong with Duan Xing.

She used to trust Duan Xing without reservation, but after planting the seeds of doubt, her sixth sense became very sharp.

Although Duan Xing did not show it obviously, Xie Liuzheng still discovered that he cared about Fu Rui Welfare Home.

What's there?

Xie Liuzheng thought about it. She had come into contact with many children these days, but the only one that Duan Xing had asked about twice was Xiaosheng.

Could that child named Xiaosheng be related to Duan Xing?

Xie Liuzheng took out his cell phone and called Xie Zhiyu.

"aunt."

"Zhiyu, you..." Before Xie Liuzheng could finish her words, something flashed through her mind and she changed the subject.

"I left something in your office. Remember to bring it with you when you go back. I'll go home to get it tonight."

Xie Zhiyu paused as he was about to open the document: "Okay."

Being monitored...?

Xie Liuzheng hung up the phone and looked at her cell phone, which was the couple's model she bought with Duan Xing.

…

Duan Xing took off his headphones and checked the location of his phone.

Xie Liuzheng did not lie.

Just as Xie Liuzheng discovered that something was wrong with Duan Xing, Duan Xing also discovered the changes in Xie Liuzheng.

The two have been together day and night for more than ten years and are very familiar with each other.

Duan Xing is a naturally sensitive and suspicious person. The conspiracy these days is very critical. He has become more cautious than before. Even Qiao Yun was warned by him to behave herself recently and not to meet or contact him unless necessary.

He suspected that Xie Liuzheng had discovered something, so he kept track of her whereabouts more frequently, but fortunately there was nothing unusual.

Duan Xing thought that he had to adjust the adoption schedule.

Shen Baili found that everyone was very busy recently. The two big bosses Xie Chengyue and Xie Zhiyu were almost nowhere to be seen again. Her mother Shen Wan had made great achievements in her studies recently.

Today, I measured her measurements and am going to make a skirt for her.

"How about I make your favorite blue dress?" Shen Wan looked at her daughter who had grown into a beautiful young lady, and the image of her wearing the dress she had made appeared in her mind.

Such a lovely girl is her daughter.

Shen Wan felt proud.

"Mom, call me when you make the skirt and I'll help you." Shen Baili was also very excited.

"Okay." Shen Wan agreed.

"Has Aunt Xie not asked you to go shopping recently?" Shen Baili asked, "I haven't seen her for a long time."

Shen Wan wrote down her daughter's measurements in a notebook: "She's been very busy lately and doesn't have time."

"Is it about adopting a child?" Shen Baili was concerned about the progress of this matter: "Have they decided?"

"How can it be that simple? Adopting a child is not that easy. Both parties have to be compatible and suitable for each other."

Shen Wan and Xie Liuzheng were both busy with their own things and didn't see each other often, but they still chatted online.

Shen Baili nodded seriously: "It's time to think about it carefully."

Please think about it carefully, preferably for several years.

She couldn't think of any other solution, so she decided to find time to secretly tell her eldest brother.

"Mom, what kind of person do you think Uncle Xie is?" Shen Baili was very curious.

Shen Wan put the notebook away: "A smart and meticulous person."

Shen Baili leaned close to her mother's ear and whispered, "Do you think he is a good husband worthy of your trust?"

Shen Wan looked at her in surprise: "We already have someone we like at this age?"

She said openly: "If there is someone you like, go after him/her bravely."

"But you must not neglect your studies and you must not let yourself get hurt." She added solemnly: "You are the most precious thing."

It's normal for children of this age to yearn for love.

Shen Wan didn't expect this day to come so early. Their family has grown up so much.

She is both her daughter's mother and her best friend.

Shen Baili didn't expect her mother's imagination to be so broad: "No, I only have learning in my mind."

"I saw that Uncle Xie was very good to Aunt Xie. He seemed like a perfect husband."

Shen Wan looked at her with a smile and said, "No one is perfect."

“You have to feel the truth with your heart.”

Shen Baili seemed to understand, but Shen Wan took her hand and went upstairs: "Don't think too much, let's make a beautiful skirt together."

"OK."

Shen Wan cleared out a utility room in Xie's house and decorated it into a studio to store some of her tools and works.

"This blue cloth is so beautiful." Shen Baili likes bright colors.

"This is called Klein Blue, a brighter blue." Shen Wan took out the cloth and gestured on Shen Baili's body: "My daughter is so beautiful, she will look beautiful in this color."

Shen Baili draped herself in a cloth and turned around: "Does it look good?"

Shen Wan: "It looks good."

“Because I look like my mother, I am beautiful.”

…

In the evening, Xie Liuzheng and Xie Zhiyu returned home one after another. Xie Chengyue was the last one to arrive home, while Xie Tingsi was still filming in another province.

Duan Xing didn't come.

Xie Chengyue looked at his sister with some surprise, and said with rare concern: "Liu Zheng, you don't look well."

"You have time this week to get a full body checkup."

Xie Liuzheng explained: "I just went to the hospital last week for an old illness and the doctor prescribed some medicine."

"Maybe I'm too tired these days. I just need to take a rest."

Xie Chengyue nodded: "Take care of yourself."

Xie Liuzheng: “Okay.”

"Where's Duan Xing?"

Xie Liuzheng: "He's very busy at school. I wanted to talk to my sister-in-law, so I came here."

Shen Wan was surprised. She didn't know Xie Liuzheng was coming today, but she still covered for her: "Well, let's chat."

Xie Chengyue was pleased to see this happen and did not ask any more questions.

He looked at Shen Baili who was concentrating on chewing the bone, and then withdrew his gaze.

After Shen Baili finished eating the bone meat, her eyes fell on Xie Zhiyu and Xie Liuzheng. She found that even when they were eating at home, they maintained elegant dining etiquette, which was pleasing to the eye.

[Thank you for your beautiful family members.]

[Watching my elder brother and Aunt Xie eat, I can eat a few more bowls.]

Xie Zhiyu and Xie Liuzheng's chopsticks were chopped at the same time.

Xie Liuzheng looked at Shen Baili, who was eating with great relish.

Just like the situation in the mall, she was the only one who heard Shen Baili's thoughts.

Xie Liuzheng realized that he didn't understand her at all. Did he watch them eat a few more bowls of rice?

This child is kind of cute.

[Should I remind Aunt Xie alone, or should I tell my eldest brother about this?]

[If I tell Aunt Xie, I have no evidence. If I tell my eldest brother, I also have no evidence... I'd better remind my eldest brother and say that I saw Duan Xing being intimate with another woman...]

[Big Brother will definitely be able to investigate this thoroughly and punish the scumbag!]

Shen Baili muttered to herself and soon came up with a feasible solution.

Xie Liuzheng listened to her troubles and was not angry that she did not believe in herself, but believed in her nephew.

They really seldom spoke, and Xie Liuzheng could understand Shen Baili's thoughts.

Maybe, they could become close later?

What Xie Liuzheng didn't notice was that Xie Zhiyu started observing Shen Baili's reaction from the moment he heard her thoughts.

***

After dinner, Xie Liuzheng, Shen Wan, and Xie Chengyue went out for a walk, leaving the two at home.

When Shen Baili was about to go upstairs, Xie Zhiyu called her: "Sui Sui, are you free now?"

"I have something to talk to you about."

Shen Baili felt uneasy and her mind was racing as to why Xie Zhiyu came to see her.

"Sui Sui, you sit opposite."

"Oh oh." Shen Baili looked straight ahead: "Brother, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Xie Zhiyu noticed her nervousness and said, "Relax."

He took out a stack of documents from the drawer: "Take a look first."

Shen Baili opened the file and was stunned when he saw the asset records inside. He didn't understand why Xie Zhiyu showed him these.

"When the Xie family's children reach a certain age, they will have their own assets... Suisui, you are also a girl from the Xie family."

Shen Baili understood the meaning of this sentence and looked at Xie Zhiyu in shock: "Brother, this...do Uncle Xie and my mother know about this?"

Xie Zhiyu gave her a positive answer: "They know."

"In addition to the monthly living expenses, the assets under your name include two villas, a school district house near Haicheng No. 1 Middle School, a large flat in the city center, and ten shops. The operation of the shops will be handed over to professionals before you come of age, and the profits will be deposited into your account. After you come of age, a certain proportion of the profits will be deposited into your account..."

Not only that, Shen Baili also got a lot of jewelry and some antique calligraphy and paintings. After hearing the latter, she was completely numb.

Xie Zhiyu tried his best to explain this to Shen Baili in simple terms, and by the end, he felt a little thirsty.

If the company's employees saw such a patient and good-tempered boss, their eyes would drop to the ground, and they would definitely suspect that their cold and stern CEO Xie had been replaced by someone else.

"Sui Sui, is there anything else you don't understand?" Xie Zhiyu asked.

The light in the study was very bright, without any soft lighting, but Shen Baili felt that her elder brother was very gentle at this moment.

Shen Baili pursed her lips: "Are these too many?"

The huge fortune she had fallen into made her feel very insecure.

Xie Zhiyu has deep eyes, and when he looks into people's eyes, he seems to be able to see through their hearts.

He understood Shen Baili's inner thoughts: "Don't feel burdened."

"Sui Sui, you deserve this."

"At her age, my aunt had more wealth than you can imagine."

He deliberately used Xie Liuzheng as an example to ease her inner burden.

In fact, if he wasn't worried about scaring Shen Baili, these assets could have increased several times over.

If it weren't for Shen Baili's reminder, the Xie Group would have suffered huge losses.

Even if the bidding project does not harm the fundamentals, this project is related to countless interests and the subsequent strategic development of Xie's Chicken Soup.

Not to mention, Shen Baili's reminder helped him eliminate a potential danger.

Xie Zhiyu was full of gratitude to Shen Baili. Even though the other party didn't know about this, he couldn't pretend not to know.

Shen Baili deserves all of this, she deserves it.

Xie Zhiyu was very good at persuading people. By the time Shen Baili came out of the study, she had been promoted from a small rich woman to a very rich woman, and she even walked with a light breeze.

She returned to her room and took out her chemistry exercise book.

She needs to do the test to calm herself down.

…

Not long after Shen Baili left the study, Xie Liuzheng entered the study again.

Xie Zhiyu heard the knock on the door, put down the work in his hands, and relaxed his shoulders and fingers.

"Aunt, you are here."

Xie Liuzheng leaned on the sofa: "Are you too tired?"

"You should find some time to rest."

Since breaking off the engagement with Sang Ya, Xie Zhiyu has been very busy, dealing with the relationship with the Sang family, controlling technological projects, starting new projects, etc. All major decisions fall on his shoulders and he has no time to rest.

Rather than being tired, Xie Zhiyu enjoys this kind of life. The Xie Group will develop and grow in his hands, and he feels a sense of accomplishment more than anything else.

“I am healthy and my work makes me feel fulfilled.”

"So... don't worry about me, aunt."

This is what Xie Zhiyu gained from the interaction between Shen Baili and her daughter.

Relatives also need communication.

Familiarity is the first time, and facing his nephew's warmth, Xie Liuzheng didn't find it strange: "Just know it in your heart."

Xie Zhiyu knew what she was most concerned about: "The private detective found something, but it will take time to confirm. It can't prove that she cheated or anything else..."

Xie Liuzheng: "I'm fine, you continue investigating."

"I will hold on."

Xie Liuzheng thought of the welfare home and raised his doubts: "Look up the Furui Welfare Home and a child named Xiaosheng there. I think there is something wrong with them."

She took out two sealed transparent bags from her pocket, which contained hair. "Here are the hair follicles of Xiaosheng and Duanxing. Can we test their DNA?"

Xie Zhiyu looked at Xie Liuzheng suddenly, his voice clearly suppressing his anger: "He has an illegitimate child???"

Xie Liuzheng shook his head: "I'm not sure, I'm just guessing."

"Anyway, take it for a DNA test first."

Xie Zhiyu: "I'll arrange it right away."

"I suspect he also installed a listening device on my phone... He can know my whereabouts." Xie Liuzheng shared the information he had with Xie Zhiyu.

Xie Zhiyu clenched his fists and said, "Leave your phone here. I'll ask a professional to check it."

"If he asks, just say you forgot it at home."

"Okay." Xie Liuzheng nodded.

Xie Zhiyu clenched his fist and unclenched it: "Aunt, until the matter is investigated clearly, you should stay at home."

If everything is verified, Xie Liuzheng's situation is very dangerous.

Xie Liuzheng shook his head slightly: "No, this will only scare him."

"Whether he is innocent or not, I want to verify it myself."

"We've been together for so many years, he can't kill me, right?" Xie Liuzheng livened up the atmosphere: "Besides... didn't you arrange bodyguards around me?"

"Don't worry."

The two chatted about some more details, and Xie Liuzheng was about to leave the study. She was staying at Xie's house today, and it had been a long time since she had stayed in her previous room. She wanted to ask Shen Wan to sleep with her, as her bed was very big.

Xie Zhiyu looked at Xie Liuzheng's back, and recent events flashed through his mind.

Everything points to one answer.

His fingers paused tapping the table.

"Auntie, can you hear the strange noise?"

Xie Liuzheng suddenly turned around and looked at her, her beautiful eyes filled with shock.

Xie Zhiyu looked into her eyes and said word by word: "Or, can you also hear her inner voice?"
