"Why is Mr. Wang pretending to be sick? Is that possible?"
Pei Guoan reacted immediately after hearing what Li Miaomiao said.
"Yeah, I thought at the time that Mr. Wang was just trying to deal with you, but when I think about it carefully, there's no need at all. He just won't say anything. Pretending to be sick won't solve anything. Mr. Wang is not stupid, he would know this."
"So there must be a reason why Mr. Wang did this."
"Yeah, there's no reason. Why would I pretend to be sick? If it's not to deal with you, then it's to deal with others. But if you think about it carefully..."
Pei Guoan slammed on the brakes
"Let's go find Zhou Shao."
Originally, Pei Guoan planned to take Li Miaomiao back home. He saw how busy Li Miaomiao had been these days. He finally had a day off and wanted to let Li Miaomiao rest and relax at home, but given the current situation, it was obvious that he had no choice but to get busy for now.
Arrived at Zhou Shao's place
Zhou Shao saw that the couple had arrived.
"What's wrong? Do you discover anything from time to time?"
Zhou Shao knew what Pei Guoan and Li Miaomiao were going to do, and the people who followed them out of the city were still led away by Zhou Shao's men.
“There are indeed some discoveries.”
"Oh, what secret is hidden in the place at that address?"
Zhou Shao was also very curious. He went there at least three times, but he didn't find anything. Li Miaomiao made a discovery after going there once.
"It's not that place, but Mr. Wang's place. I took advantage of my free time today to go see Mr. Wang, but I found out that there was nothing wrong with his health and he was just pretending to be sick."
"Pretending to be sick?"
Zhou Shao was a little surprised. He had met Mr. Wang so many times, but he didn't realize that Mr. Wang was pretending to be sick. Of course, this was not what he cared about.
"There's no need for Mr. Wang to do this, unless..."
Zhou Shao reacted quickly and immediately knew why Li Miaomiao and the others came.
"Mr. Wang would do this for no reason. Tell me what you discovered."
"When I realized that Mr. Wang was feigning illness, I paid a little more attention. As a result, I actually discovered some problems. If Mr. Wang wasn't feigning illness to deal with you, then he was doing it to deal with other people. And who has Mr. Wang been interacting with these days?"
"Apart from us, there are only Mr. Wang's family. To ensure Mr. Wang's safety, anyone else who wants to see him must go through an inspection."
Zhou Shao said this with a thoughtful look on his face. "Speaking of the people he interacted with the most, the one Mr. Wang interacted with the most was his daughter-in-law, Cheng Man. Logically, Cheng Man's child was sent back to her parents' home shortly after being brought home. Although Mr. Wang was ill, he wasn't incapacitated; he just needed to recuperate. There was no need for Cheng Man to take leave at home. I thought at the time that maybe Cheng Man was scared after encountering such a thing, and she was also filial. Now it seems that may not be the case."
Li Miaomiao said a few words to her, and Zhou Shao analyzed so many things
"That's right. I had some doubts in my heart, so I deliberately tested Cheng Man. Cheng Man is a very considerate person. But when I went to get the old man some water, Cheng Man didn't stop me. Instead, she pretended to be stunned and waited until I got the water before explaining. It seemed reasonable, but it felt like she was trying to cover up something. Most importantly, Cheng Man never left my side during my conversation with Old Man Wang. It seemed like she wanted to accompany me, but in fact, there was no need."
"It's more like surveillance than companionship. She's afraid of what Mr. Wang might say when he's alone with you."
"I think the same as you. Cheng Man's actions seem normal and impeccable, but they are abnormal in every way. And there's also the child. At this moment, a normal mother would want to keep the child by her side. Even if it's to take care of Mr. Wang, there's absolutely no need to send the child back to her parents' home. So I suggest you send more people to keep an eye on Cheng Man's parents' home."
"I had already arranged for someone to follow the child. Now that you've reminded me, I'll be more careful."
If something happens to Cheng Man, Cheng Man's family may not be free of problems.
"If Cheng Man really has a problem, then..."
This is not a small problem. The direction of their investigation may be deviated, and the nature of the whole incident is different.
"You guys go back first. I'll give you a copy of all the information later so you can see if there's anything I haven't noticed or missed. If there's something wrong with Cheng Man, I'll have to redeploy the arrangements. I've thought of many possibilities before, but I never thought there might be something wrong with Cheng Man."
Such an unexpected and shocking discovery seems to connect some things that were previously incomprehensible.
Everything that happens must have a reason. There may be many connections between them, but we cannot discover them because of different perspectives.
Li Miaomiao nodded when she heard this, knowing that Zhou Shao would definitely be busy.
In fact, it is not Zhou Shao's fault for negligence. If she did not have the system and knew that Mr. Wang was actually pretending to be sick, she would not have discovered the clues.
Given Cheng Man's identity and the fact that she is the child's mother, no one would think of doubting her.
After returning from Zhou Shao, Li Miaomiao was not idle either. She was looking through some of the information she had just taken.
Although Mr. Wang couldn't say anything because Cheng Man was there, he hinted to her, what secret is hidden in that address?
"Don't be in a hurry, eat something first. You've been busy all day and you haven't eaten anything yet. No matter what, your health is the most important thing."
Li Miaomiao was so focused on looking for information that she didn't even notice when Pei Guoan went to the kitchen to cook a bowl of noodles and brought it over.
Li Miaomiao touched her stomach and smelled a fragrance: "Don't tell me, I really feel a little hungry."
Li Miaomiao looked at Pei Guoan and said, "You haven't eaten yet, right?"
"Don't worry, I can still get my share."
Pei Guoan said this and brought another bowl of noodles from the kitchen and ate with Li Miaomiao.
Seeing that Li Miaomiao liked to eat vegetables, he also put his own into Li Miaomiao's bowl.
"Eat more. You look so thin now. My son will blame me for not taking good care of you."
Li Miaomiao found this somewhat amusing: "You two, father and son, are probably enemies. But this time, you were supposed to send me here and then go back, but now you've been delayed for so long..."
"Don't worry, my son is doing well at home. He even stumped his teacher in class yesterday."
Li Miaomiao thought about that scene and smiled even more. "My son is so smart. He's so young, and I don't know how he knows so much. I don't know who he takes after."
"Of course it's me. I'm such an excellent father, how can my son be any worse?"
Li Miaomiao rolled her eyes and was about to say something when she heard a knock on the door.
