At this moment, Zhao Shuai did not know what the Gu and Ye families were doing here, so he did not follow the Ye family member but continued to wait.
After smoking two cigarettes and waiting for about ten minutes, the tightly closed door to the archives room finally opened, and Xiao Dai and the archives staff walked out almost side by side.
"Thanks, sis."
"No need to be polite. Please give my regards to your second grandmother when you get back."
"good!"
Xiao Dai agreed to such a small request without even considering it, since Second Grandma would come to see the old man every day anyway.
...
After Xiao Dai left, Zhao Shuai didn't linger. He threw away his cigarette butt, walked over, and stood directly in front of the staff in the archives.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
Before the gasp could even finish, the person was shoved inside without any chance to resist. With a bang, the door slammed shut. Zhao Shuai ripped off his mask, a deliberate smile on his face.
"Sister Wu, don't be nervous, it's me."
That's right, Zhao Shuai did know the woman who managed the hospital's archives. She was Gu Jia's second maternal grandmother's cousin, and she was quite well-known in the circle.
"It's you? Zhao family boy? Well, you scared your sister Wu to death. Tell me, what brings you to the hospital at this hour? Aren't you staying at your military camp?"
cough...
After coughing a few times, she slowly spoke: "When it's time to come back, I'll naturally come back. How can I stay in the army forever? Sister Wu, you seem to have become even more beautiful since I last saw you."
Women, you can't go wrong with praising them more.
Instructor Zhao understood the reasoning perfectly well and showed no embarrassment whatsoever.
The woman couldn't stop laughing, asking, "Are you injured or sick?"
"No, nothing at all, I'm perfectly fine, in great health." She said, spinning around.
Why come to the hospital if you're not sick?
Zhao Shuai continued with his roguish grin: "Of course something's up. I just saw the Gu family's little guard come to your place, Sister Wu, and take something away. What's going on?"
"Tch, so you've come to find out what's going on from your older sister? But I'm not that kind of person who lacks professional ethics. Don't ask, I won't tell you."
Anyone connected to this circle isn't stupid; they know what can and cannot be said, and they won't risk offending people unnecessarily.
Although Zhao Shuai wanted to know what was going on, he understood the situation and naturally wouldn't force Wu's sister to say anything.
"Sis, do you really think of your brother as such a clueless person? Fine, I won't ask then. But I do have something to ask Sister Wu. So, how about it, will you help me?"
The woman sat in an office chair, wearing black-rimmed glasses, which did not conceal her natural beauty but instead made her appear more ascetic.
They're all familiar with each other; who doesn't know each other's background?
Therefore, there is nothing shameful about it. At most, it's just joking around. People in this circle usually go quite far with their jokes.
If you can't afford to play the game, then don't even think about integrating into the circle.
Of course, there is an exception: if you have absolute power, to put it bluntly, if you have a strong background and powerful connections, then no one will dare to make fun of you.
"Speak." The woman raised a finger to adjust her glasses and naturally crossed her legs.
Zhao Shuai didn't intend to look at the woman any longer. He shifted his gaze before speaking: "I want to retrieve all the information about the day twenty-two years ago, when the first wife of the Ye family patriarch died in childbirth."
