Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Xie Ru was sitting at her desk in boredom when her phone suddenly lit up. It was the detective agency contacting her. Could it be that they had discovered something about Xie Zhen?

“Miss Xie, you don’t have to say anymore. This old man really covers his tracks well, but we still found some clues.”

“Oh? Tell me, what did you find?”

The man laughed sinisterly and continued, “This old man actually kept a mistress behind his wife’s back. This mistress has been with this man since she was 18 years old. Now, the child is already seven years old.”

Xie Ru was surprised. “Is there a photo of the old man, mistress, and child together?”

“Heh, don’t worry. We do have them. We’ll send them to your phone later. But, Miss Xie, look, what we’re doing here is not charity-“

“Don’t worry. You won’t be missing a single cent.”

“Ah, okay. Miss Xie, you’re really straightforward. I hope we’ll be able to continue working on more cases in the future.”

Xie Ru scolded softly, “Aren’t we talking about people now?”

“Everyone’s gotta find a way to survive. We have no other choice.”

Xie Ru did not want to argue with this person anymore. After hanging up, a photo was sent over. In the photo, Xie Zhen was hugging a girl’s waist intimately with a marshmallow held in the other as a little boy reached for it on the ground.

The little boy looked exactly like Xie Zhen. No one would believe that there was no relationship between the two of them.

Xie Ru thought about it but didn’t send the photo out. Instead, she coded the photo of the girl and little boy.

She quietly placed it in a private folder and waited for it to see the light of day again. It would definitely be a bloodbath when it did.

“Manager Zhang, are you very busy every day?”

Manager Zhang was a little puzzled as he said, “Miss Xie, I am indeed a little busy today.”

“It must be very difficult for you to raise a family by yourself.”

Xie Ru saw a flash of hatred in Manager Zhang’s eyes and sneered. It seemed that this was a deep grudge.

“It’s alright.”

“It’s not easy to raise a family even if you are so busy every day. However, Manager Zhang, you can also give some suggestions. This kind of salary system has to be changed according to the specific situation of the company.”

“There’s no use in mentioning it.”

Xie Ru waved at Manager Zhang with a mysterious look. “Manager Zhang, you can’t tell others about this. But actually, my grandfather sent me here to investigate the unreasonable situation of the company. I have to tell him the truth.”

Manager Zhang’s eyes widened. “Is that so? Then why didn’t you directly talk to President Xie about the situation? Wouldn’t the investigation be faster this way?”

“Sigh, it’s an undercover investigation aimed at you people. How could Grandfather let Second Uncle know about it? Moreover, Second Uncle’s family has been in frequent trouble this year. Grandfather has long suspected Second Uncle.”

A hint of something amiss flashed in Manager Zhang’s eyes. Seeing this, Xie Ru added fuel to the fire and said, “Manager Zhang, actually, there is something you’re not understanding. Grandfather already knows about Second Uncle’s other woman.”

Xie Ru sneered in her heart. “Everyone knows this. There are countless affairs involving young lovers in wealthy families. Grandfather doesn’t care about it, but the Xie family’s business can not be ruined.”

“That’s why there is Miss Xie’s secret investigation.”

Xie Ru nodded. Looking at Manager Zhang’s struggling appearance, she started to spout nonsense in a serious manner, “Since Manager Zhang isn’t willing, then forget it. But Grandfather did say that if there is someone from the inside willing to help, then this person will be the hero of the Xie family in the future. A promotion and a raise won’t be a problem.”

After saying that, Xie Ru took her white cane and was about to leave. In the end, Manager Zhang couldn’t sit still and hurriedly stopped her. “Miss Xie, the Xie family has saved my life before. I can’t just stand by and watch the Xie family be destroyed. Tell me, how can I help you?”

“I just hope that Manager Zhang will pay attention to the private flow of all the accounts in the company. Grandfather had long known that there was a problem but just turned a blind eye. There’s no other way…”

Xie Ru sighed, as if Xie Corporation would collapse the next day.

“Don’t worry, leave it to me. I guarantee that it will be handled properly for you..”
