Regardless of whether the murderer’s target was Xu Shan or not, he should receive the punishment he deserved for his evil deeds. Such a person would pose a huge threat to society.

Yin Tao thought that she had to find time to see Xu Shan again. Although she might not be able to get any clues from her, the girl’s situation was a little dangerous. Yin Tao was worried about her and didn’t want anything to happen to her.

Yin Tao was so engrossed in her thoughts that she didn’t notice Anna secretly taking a photo of her not far away.

Anna sent the photo to Zhou Hui and walked out of the office alone.

“Sister Zhou, Jiang Tao is here. She’s in the office now.” Anna’s voice was very soft. As she spoke, she looked around warily.

“Alright, 1 understand.” Zhou Hui’s voice was very calm. “Go do your work and stop spouting nonsense.”

“I’m not someone who talks nonsense. How can I work at the Wan Corporation if I can’t do this?”

Anna smiled and said to Zhou Hui in an exceptionally polite tone, “But Sister Zhou, I want to ask, does Miss Ji want to see Jiang Tao?”

When Zhou Hui heard Anna’s words, she could not help but sneer. “What’s there for Miss Ji to see? She’s just a minor character.”

Anna nodded unconsciously, clearly agreeing with Zhou Hui’s words. “That’s right. She’s just a young girl who doesn’t know her place. Miss Ji is already flattering her by being willing to take another look at her. 1 wonder what has come over President Liu for him to be interested in such a person in the first place.”

“Is this how you disparage your own boss?”

Anna gripped her mobile phone tightly and hurriedly apologized. “Sister Zhou, that’s not what I meant. 1 meant to say that President Liu doesn’t have any shortcomings in his character. It must have been a moment of folly. I just feel indignant for Miss Ji. How can Jiang Tao compare to a daughter of the Ji family?”

“Alright, cut that out.” Zhou Hui hung up the phone and took a sip of the coffee in front of her. She secretly glanced at Ji Wei, who was sitting opposite her. She was looking troubled.

“It seems that Jiang Tao isn’t popular.” Ji Wei’s facial features were beautiful and her voice was shrill. Her skin had been meticulously maintained at a high price. She looked like an exquisite porcelain doll hung with decorations hanging all over her.

However, her mannerisms were very arrogant. Although she was old classmates with Zhou Hui, in Ji Wei’s eyes, someone like Zhou Hui was ultimately inferior to her.

“That’s right. Her character is so bad. How can she have any friends?” Zhou Hui looked at the woman in front of her who was wearing exquisite makeup and jewelry. Her tone was very polite.

“But Zhou Hui, how remiss of you this time. If 1 hadn’t heard some gossip when I went to the company this morning, when were you planning to tell me?”

Ji Wei was visibly upset. She had dressed up early today and was planning to give Liu Li a surprise for his birthday. She didn’t expect to hear some gossip from the employees when she arrived at the company.

These gossiping employees were Anna from the secretarial department and some employees from other departments.

Anna was originally talking to everyone about Jiang Tao, but she didn’t expect to run into Liu Li’s fiancee, Ji Wei, at the entrance of the company.

Anna had seen Ji Wei at the Wan Corporation. Anna had a deep impression of her as it was rare to see a woman like her who always decked out in expensive jewelry.

Seeing that she had come to the Wan Corporation, Anna deliberately raised her voice as she discussed Jiang Tao. In order to attract Ji Wei’s attention, she even deliberately talked about everyone’s suspicion about Jiang Tao and Liu Li’s relationship.

As expected, Ji Wei’s attention was attracted by Anna and she learned about this new intern from her.

“You’ve already said that it’s gossip. 1 don’t dare to accuse President Liu without evidence.”

“It’ll be too late if we wait for evidence!” Ji Wei suddenly raised her voice, causing many customers in the cafe to look in their direction.

Zhou Hui hurriedly comforted Ji Wei and said to her, “Actually, President Liu has always been quite well behaved. He doesn’t have any close females around him. Jiang Tao appeared out of the blue. There was no sign of her before.”

Zhou Hui also felt very wronged. She had always been very familiar with Liu Li’s matters. She would even roughly know Liu Li’s schedule after work.

Therefore, Jiang Tao’s sudden appearance also took Zhou Hui by surprise. Liu Li was well known for staying away from women. Why did he suddenly have a young lady whom he took special care of?

“Hmph, 1 wonder how long this adulterous couple has been together! If Liu Li really dares to cheat on me, I’ll find someone to cripple him!”
