Ye Zhiwei was taken aback, somewhat surprised. Qin Manshu noticed Ye Zhiwei's gaze and did not deny it. She waved her hand and readily admitted, "Are you looking at this?"
Ye Zhiwei laughed and said, "What a coincidence, it's the same style as my cousin's."
"How could it be a coincidence?" Qin Manshu laughed. "Little cousin, many coincidences are caused by human factors. This is because I thought your cousin's watch was very beautiful, so I bought the same style. I had been thinking about buying a watch before, but I hadn't found a suitable style. I didn't expect that after your cousin left it behind, I found this style to be quite nice. It just so happens that this type also has a women's model, so I bought it."
This brand's watches are mostly custom-made mechanical watches with complex parts and exquisite craftsmanship. Even the buttons are made of platinum, and the entire watch is made of platinum. Its beveled edges, circular textures, and engraved patterns are all made by top craftsmen using traditional methods. Because this brand has always made watches, the number of watches produced each year is limited, so many people buy them for collection. My cousin is just a fool with too much money to spend, so he bought them specifically to wear.
Qin Manshu actually spent a lot of money to buy one.
These models are basically one-of-a-kind. To get this watch family to design a watch similar to Ji Shuli's, they must have pulled some strings. This is a simple and unpretentious way of pursuing wealth.
Miss Qin is indeed a person of strong character.
She thought that the stupid things her cousin did were probably quite adorable in Miss Qin's eyes.
Ye Zhiwei took a deep breath and asked, "This watch isn't cheap."
Qin Manshu smiled, "It is quite expensive, so it's an investment. These kinds of watches have a lot of potential for appreciation."
Seeing someone wearing an investment watch, Ye Zhiwei felt that although she was quite good at spending money, she was still slightly inferior to her foolishly rich cousin and Miss Qin who relied on throwing money at ambiguous relationships.
This was a way of signaling her affections. Qin Manshu was really willing to do it. She wore the same watch as Ji Shuli and generously admitted that she appreciated Ji Shuli's taste. She spoke with affection in her eyes and her tone was extremely gentle when she looked at Ji Shuli.
However, this kind of romance vanishes completely when it encounters a straight man like Ji Shuli who has absolutely no interest in Qin Manshu.
Ji Shuli took Qin Manshu's words as an affirmation of his taste. Whether he was pretending to be stupid or genuinely failed to understand Qin Manshu's implied meaning, he said with a hint of pride, "Little cousin, take a good look at your cousin's taste."
Ye Zhiwei couldn't figure out Ji Shuli's true thoughts, but she felt that she was using Ji Shuli as a tool to ask Qin Manshu for help, and Ji Shuli was using her as a shield to block Tao Hua. The two siblings benefited from each other and reached a cooperation agreement.
Whether Ji Shuli was genuinely stupid or pretending, Ye Zhiwei naturally wouldn't expose her, so she reluctantly agreed with Ji Shuli's words. Qin Manshu's gaze, however, seemed quite meaningful.
Every time Ye Zhiwei was present, Ji Shuli was different from the person Ye Zhiwei remembered. She seemed to realize that it was very important to maintain a good relationship with Ye Zhiwei, so she became more and more affectionate towards Ye Zhiwei, changed the subject, and said gently, "I don't know what kind of surveillance footage you are looking for, so I pulled up all the recently archived footage. You can see if there is anything you want."
Ye Zhiwei, preoccupied with the recording, didn't pay much attention to the matter after Qin Manshu's reminder. Qin Manshu seemed to have thought of something, and as Ye Zhiwei hurriedly followed the researchers leading the way to the security center, she took the initiative to walk to Ji Shuli's side and asked softly, "Little cousin, what is it that makes you so eager to watch these surveillance videos?"
"It seems to be related to a traffic accident case." Ji Shuli knew that Ye Zhiwei was sensitive about Ye Qingcheng's past. She seemed to subconsciously feel that this matter was related to her uncle, so she was very concerned about this matter. However, Ji Shuli did not know the specific details of this case. He did not even know that the driver who caused the accident was the driver who worked for the Qin family.
When Ye Zhiwei and Qin Manshu arrived at the security center, she accurately found the video file she needed and clicked to watch it. However, strangely, the security center only kept the videos from the most recent two months, and Anna's father's traffic accident happened several months ago.
Ye Zhiwei paused for a moment and asked Qin Manshu, "This only covers two months, shouldn't we be able to find at least six months of surveillance footage?"
Qin Manshu smiled and said, "We usually only check the surveillance footage when something strange happens at the research center. If nothing else happens at the research center, the footage is automatically saved and automatically deleted."
Ye Zhiwei's expression changed slightly.
Qin Manshu asked, "What exactly is it? You have to tell me so I can truly help you. If it's something very urgent, I can also find someone to see if some videos that were automatically deleted due to memory issues can be recovered."
Ye Zhiwei remained silent for a moment. Although she had not completely let her guard down and mentioned the matter to Qin Manshu before because the Qin family was the employer of the driver who caused the accident, she now needed Qin Manshu's help. It seemed that there was no harm in telling Qin Manshu about it. The driver was an employee of the Qin family, and Qin Manshu would definitely know about the relevant situation even if she did not say it.
After hesitating for a few seconds, Ye Zhiwei told Qin Manshu and asked him about their employees.
Qin Manshu seemed somewhat surprised after hearing Ye Zhiwei's explanation. She was silent for a moment before saying, "I didn't expect you to come because of this. Actually, I didn't know much about this matter. It was only when Driver Bei's family came to my door and told me about the situation that I found out about our driver's accident. I was also very surprised that this happened. Driver Bei has always been very responsible. His job was to pick me up and drop me off, and sometimes I would ask him to help me get some documents. I always thought he was very trustworthy and kind to me. Sometimes when he saw that I was in a bad mood, he would comfort me like an elder. So I find it hard to imagine that such a thing would happen."
This was unexpected by Ye Zhiwei.
Logically speaking, the driver's first reaction after the traffic accident was to hit someone again instead of immediately calling the police for help, which doesn't seem like a kind person. However, in Qin Manshu's words, this driver became a responsible and kind elder. Is this because the driver was too good at pretending in front of Qin Manshu, or is there a discrepancy between what Qin Manshu said and the truth?
Qin Manshu sighed and continued, "I'm very sorry that this happened to Driver Bei. His family isn't well-off. He has a son with very poor health who frequently goes to the hospital, and each trip costs a lot of money. The child's mother is from the countryside and doesn't have much education. She can only do some handicrafts and earns a few hundred yuan a month. The whole family's income depends on Driver Bei, so I usually give him a relatively high salary. This time, after Driver Bei's accident, his wife cried and told me that he might be suspected of intentional homicide and would never get out of jail. She begged me if I could help her pull some strings. Since he did something wrong, he definitely has to pay the price, but his family is actually a pitiful bunch..."
