Chapter 361: Retrieval
After leaving the police station, Su Man and Fang Zhiming walked side by side towards the parking lot.
"If I were to be the bait, what do you think I should do?" Su Man suddenly asked.
Fang Zhiming didn't expect Su Man to ask this suddenly. He hesitated for a long time and couldn't explain the reason.
Su Man said: "If you can't explain it, then let me tell you.
"Xiao Beisheng's trust in me isn't enough to allow me to go with him to the scene for the transaction. So, there's only one way I could act as bait: to appear during the arrest, distract Xiao Beisheng, and disrupt his mind.
"But that would put me in danger. Besides, this method isn't very helpful. You're just trying to kick a fallen dog."
Fang Zhiming was speechless. "Su Man, I just casually mentioned this idea at the time and didn't think too much about it."
Su Man wrinkled her nose and said noncommittally: "Fang Zhiming, your hatred for Xiao Beisheng seems to be beyond my imagination."
Fang Zhiming was stunned.
Su Man smiled and said, "Don't worry, we have the same goal, and that's the most important thing."
"I don't want any misunderstanding between us, and I'm not worried about your safety..." Fang Zhiming tried to defend himself.
Su Man said to him, "Okay, no need to explain, I understand. Director Fang, see you later."
She flicked the car keys, opened the door and got in.
The car door closed, isolating Fang Zhiming outside.
No explanation needed.
Because processed explanations are all hypocritical, just like shit with carved patterns. No matter how beautiful the patterns are, it is essentially just a piece of shit.
She grew up with her aunt and was around all kinds of men. She knew too well what it was like when someone lied to her and didn't really care about her.
Whether Fang Zhiming approached her for taking advantage of her or because of their childhood friendship, Su Man didn't really care whether it was true or false.
She also has her own goals to achieve.
That's enough.
But from now on, when she interacts with Fang Zhiming, she cannot be let down her guard.
Fang Zhiming also drove here by himself. After seeing Su Man drive away, he returned to his car and his easygoing face turned gloomy.
If Su Man has doubts, let her have them.
Anyway, his acting days are almost over.
As long as Xiao Beisheng is brought down this time, Su Man will be of no use to him.
"Mom, Dad, and my little sister, I wanted to play dirty with Xiao Beisheng in the past, but my power wasn't enough to compete with him. I thought it would take a long time to bring him down, but I didn't expect him to dig a hole for himself now. Wouldn't it be more painful for him to become a sinner in this world rather than being punished silently? If he's found guilty, he'll be nailed to the pillar of shame, an international criminal, even worse than I was back then. When that happens, his family and friends will despise him, and his reputation will rot as hell..."
Fang Zhiming's sinister eyes showed a hint of excitement, and he could already feel the pleasure of revenge in advance.

After the exam, Qiao Shixin packed her luggage and moved into Manyuan without waiting for the final exam results.
Her purpose was simple, which was to repair the broken relationship between her brother and sister-in-law.
In front of Su Man, Qiao Shixin did not say that it was to revive the relationship between her brother and sister-in-law, but instead brought out Song Lin as a scapegoat.
"Song Lin and I have a falling out, and now we sleep in separate rooms. I think we need to physically separate for a while so we can both calm down," she hugged Su Man's arm. "Sister-in-law, you won't mind me coming to live with you, will you? I'll be a third wheel for you."
Su Man rubbed her hair and said, "Don't mind. There is always a guest room prepared for you. Move your luggage upstairs and come down for lunch later."
"Okay!"
Qiao Shixin happily carried her luggage and walked into the house, shouting, "Brother—I'm here!"
As soon as Qiao Shixin arrived, the atmosphere in this house became much more lively.
At noon, Chen Ma prepared the meal. Su Man went to the study to call Qiao Shiyan. As soon as she entered the study, she was slightly startled by the scene in front of her.
Qiao Shiyan was writing a complaint on the computer at his workbench, with piles of legal codes at his side, while Doudou was sitting on his workbench, playing with his documents.
In fact, Qiao Shiyan brought a lot of toys for Doudou. The office desk, which was originally serious and sacred, was now piled with colorful childish toys.
But Doudou didn't appreciate it. Instead of playing with these toys, he played with Qiao Shiyan's documents.
This little guy has finally been able to coordinate his limbs recently. He is using his chubby little hands to grab a piece of A4 paper and putting it into his mouth.
Qiao Shiyan did not stop him. When he raised his head, the paper was already stained with Doudou's saliva and had been pulled into threads.
"No," Qiao Shiyan reached out to take back the paper, held Doudou in his arms, and while taking care of Doudou, he operated the computer with one hand, looking really hard.
Su Man felt a little guilty. She walked over and held Doudou in her arms. "Actually, you can let Aunt Chen take care of it, or give Doudou to me. This will disturb your work too much."
"Doudou is used to having me around. When I'm at home, I'll spend more time with him. It's okay."
Qiao Shiyan is calm and composed.
The divorce did not affect my love for Doudou at all.
Su Man thought that these days, she always saw Qiao Shiyan taking care of Doudou.
Either I get up in the middle of the night to feed the baby, or I coax Doudou to sleep.
Every day after work, without even having time to put down his briefcase, he would sit on the foam mat in the living room and play with Doudou's toys for half an hour.
He is a very good and competent father.
If only he could remain Doudou's father...
As soon as this thought came to her mind, Su Man dismissed it.
She couldn't be so selfish and prevent the other person from finding true happiness.
Su Man pursed her lips and said softly, "Rest for a while, then you can eat. Shi Xin is here too, she said she wants to stay for a few days. So... you don't have to rush to move out for now. When you have talked it over with Shi Xin, it won't be too late to move out."
Qiao Shiyan's eyes curved into a smile behind his gold-rimmed glasses: "Okay."
Su Man carried Dou Dou away, and Qiao Shiyan looked at the toys on the table and fell silent.
Qiao Shixin was the rescuer he brought in. Only with Qiao Shixin's arrival could their relationship be revived. He didn't have to move out for the time being, and he could have more time to spend with Su Man and change her mind about divorce.
He recently handled a case involving a wife seeking a divorce. The couple had argued bitterly over a number of fundamental issues, and impulsively filed for divorce at the Civil Affairs Bureau. However, during a one-month cooling-off period, the husband enthusiastically made amends with his wife, and the children, who had a healthy relationship with their father and could not leave him, eventually reconciled and annulled the divorce.
This lawsuit gave Qiao Shiyan confidence.
No matter what, he still has to fight for it.
