In the end, Qiu Zhichen did not dare to search Shi Zirui's body. In contrast, he did not return the backpack to her. He politely asked her to leave and finally placed her under house arrest in a mansion, probably Li Ze's private residence. The guest room was clean and spacious, and the decoration was simple. Bedding, toothbrushes and other daily necessities were all available, and there was also a TV. It seemed that she was treated very well.
Even her cell phone was kept on her, but there were cameras installed in every corner of the room, openly displayed in front of her without any concealment.
This made Shi Zirui sneer. She didn't believe that Wang Kai had a special liking for this camera and didn't have any special hobbies. This thing was passed down from generation to generation and ended up in Li Ze's hands.
With the camera present, Shi Zirui was too lazy to take out her phone and humiliate herself. She looked around the room openly. The room had good lighting, not too many electronic devices, and no shielding devices installed.
So theoretically, she can still contact the outside world, but her every move is under surveillance by others.
Shi Zirui understood that this was actually a sting operation. Her previous calls to the outside world must have been monitored. However, she was not panicked. After all, when she made those calls, she was just arranging work in the capacity of the Wang family's secretary.
The acting was done very well and loyalty was expressed appropriately. No matter what, there would be no room for criticism. How they interpret it is their business.
Just now, when they were about to search her, Shi Zirui had been bluffing, and it had been quite effective. It seemed that they hadn't found any substantial evidence against her, so they really meant to invite her in now.
So what are they waiting for?
The answer is definitely at today's "family dinner". I'm afraid this is a Hongmen Banquet targeting Wang Jinling.
They may have already begun to suspect Wang Jinling and wanted to find evidence of her betrayal, and the breakthrough point they chose was Shi Zirui.
Shi Zirui guessed that something must have gone wrong with Lu Chao, but it was pointless to think about where they had the flaws. The biggest problem now was that a heavy choice was placed on her.
She stroked her watch, which she was wearing backwards, and a complex light flashed in her eyes.
Just then, Qiu Zhichen came in and launched the first round of confrontation.
He sat on the sofa opposite and asked his men to bring a dinner, as if to prove that there was no poison in it. He poured himself a glass of wine and drank it in one gulp. He also tasted the piece of meat that was cut first.
Shi Zirui said with a half-smile, "How about licking the plate too? The tableware could be poisoned, and I'm worried."
Qiu Zhichen still had a smile on his face.
Don't strike a smiling face. Shi Zirui's previous behavior had indeed frightened him. Even if he was confronting her, Qiu Zhichen couldn't leave any room for criticism. He said, "According to Brother Li, I need to ask you a few simple questions."
"Did he say I have to answer?" Shi Zirui asked nonchalantly, lifting her hair.
"Of course not, just chatting." He handed over a piece of paper with several times written on it and asked, "Where have you been all this time?"
Shi Zirui didn't even look at the paper, and Qiu Zhichen didn't expect to get an answer. He just stared at Shi Zirui's expression, trying to find some fluctuations, but unfortunately there was nothing.
"Don't misunderstand me, this isn't a question." Qiu Zhichen continued, "As you know, there have been some issues recently. They're not directed at you. Our work is all based on safety considerations."
"You guys are really interesting." Shi Zirui leaned back in her chair, looking very lazy. She couldn't help laughing. "Who did you learn these clichés from? The police? Don't you know that even the police are much smarter than you?"
"Frankly speaking, I don't think a dog like you, working for Li Ze, has the right to ask me questions."
Qiu Zhichen finally felt a little embarrassed, his eyes twitching twice, and he said with a forced smile: "I said, I came here with Brother Li's intention."
"Then please ask him to come in person."
Qiu Zhichen took a deep breath, then gave up on himself, no longer paying attention to what she said. To complete the task, he said as if reading a script: "Why did you make several calls to different people today?"
Shi Zirui looked down at her watch and retorted, "You're asking even though you already know the answer."
"Brother Li has already instructed that no one is disturbing this family dinner. This may, or must, represent Mr. Wang's intention. Why do you still insist on deploying personnel near the Wang family mansion?" Qiu Zhichen stared at her and asked slowly:
"Do you think that the Wang family mansion in Wanghai is a place that anyone can invade and has no dignity at all?"
This question was very hurtful and could not be glossed over by silence. However, he could not have imagined that this question was actually a trap she had set.
Shi Zirui raised her head and asked with a half-smile, "How long have you been working for Brother Li?"
"...It's been a while."
"You came here five or six years ago, you were young," Shi Zirui said mercilessly. "Before you came, there was a clerk in the family named Liu. He was later punished according to family rules. Do you want to know why?"
Without giving him the chance to answer, Shi Zirui continued, "Because at that time, Boss Wang also said that he didn't want to be disturbed, Secretary Liu really had no preparation. As a result, something went wrong that day. Someone wanted to take advantage of the opportunity before the storm subsided and launch a final charge against the Wang family."
"Boss Wang was lucky that time. Someone tried their best to protect him. Otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous."
Shi Zirui said, "This Liu was the previous chief secretary of the Wang family before me. He was in charge of all the daily affairs of the family, big and small, and worked tirelessly for over twenty years. But because of this one mistake, he lost his head."
Qiu Zhichen wanted to say something, but she put it back: "Now you ask me why I sent people to guard the Wang family mansion? Are you an idiot?"
Qiu Zhichen's face was as black as ink, but he didn't dare to get angry. He fought back with all his strength, "Then you must know better than anyone that this is not the era of violence. Anyone who uses this to make a fuss will easily be interpreted as having ulterior motives!"
"Don't make me look down on you even more." Shi Zirui sneered. "Dignity isn't a cheap thing that just appears when you stand there and the wind blows. It's a garment that makes people fear and apprehend you. It must be flawless and flawless, woven with the sweat of all of us."
"Don't you understand the principle that the master insults the servant and the minister dies?"
At this point, Qiu Zhichen was completely speechless. He stood up and left, leaving very resolutely and angrily. After a while, the sound of things being smashed was heard outside, which made Shi Zirui breathe a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, the person who came today was a fool, and fortunately, my identity still has some influence.
Before she could relax for long, Qiu Zhichen unexpectedly came back with a surprise attack. He held out his phone and asked one last question like an imperial decree: "Why did you call Miss Wang? What is your relationship with her?"
