Hearing Yin Tao’s words, Xu Shan finally nodded slowly. Seeing that she was not completely hated, Zhang Rui finally heaved a sigh of relief.

Yin Tao was surprised that Zhang Rui was quite talented in coaxing children. It didn’t take long for Xu Shan to accept Zhang Rui and to be willing to play some small games with her.

Time passed quickly at the Children’s Home. Before Yin Tao and Zhang Rui left, they distributed the gifts they had prepared to the children. Everyone looked very happy, except for Xu Shan, who didn’t show any obvious changes in her emotions.

“Shanshan, can you go and look for Sister Xiaorui to distribute the gifts?” Yin Tao felt a little upset when she saw Xu Shan refusing to step forward. This child always stayed quietly in the corner alone, making her really worried.

“A gift?” Xu Shan opened her eyes wide. She seemed to be thinking about something. Her small hand gently tugged at the corner of Yin Tao’s clothes as she whispered to Yin Tao, “Sister Xiaotao, can you prepare a gift for Xiaoying as well?”

Hearing Xu Shan mention Xiaoying’s name, Yin Tao was slightly shocked. She did not expect Xu Shan to ask this. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Yin Tao paused for a moment before she quickly reacted and said with a smile, “Of course. Shanshan, go choose a gift yourself. You can give it to anyone you want.”

“But Teacher Xiaozhang said that Xiaoying has gone somewhere else. How can I give her the gift?”

Speaking of Xiaoying’s departure, Xu Shan couldn’t hide the sadness in her eyes. It appeared that the teachers in the Children’s Home tried to protect the children by saying that Xiaoying had left the Children’s Home, instead of saying that she had already been killed.

“Come and choose a gift. I’ll help you bring it to Xiaoying, okay?”

Hearing Yin Tao’s words, Xu Shan’s expression finally changed slightly, and she appeared much happier.

Looking at Xu Shan walking towards Zhang Rui, Yin Tao planned to find a time to bring the gift Xu Shan had chosen to the cemetery where Xiaoying was buried.

After leaving the Children’s Home, Zhang Rui drove Yin Tao back to the police dormitory. On the way, she was very emotional and planned to find more time to visit these children in the Children’s Home in the future.

Although Zhang Rui looked carefree, she was actually quite meticulous. These children touched her and made her heart ache.

“Xiaotao, do you think Secretary Xu’s death was really caused by someone?” Seeing Xu Shan’s current state, Zhang Rui really hoped that this tragedy wasn’t caused by someone.

“It’s hard to say. Without any evidence to prove that Xu Rui’s death is related to external factors, we can only conclude that it was an accident.” In fact, Yin Tao had long believed that Xu Rui’s death was definitely caused by someone. But her guesses were only in vain unless she found concrete evidence.

“Sigh, people would do anything for their own benefit. Didn’t my father encounter a situation in the company a few days ago? Many people who wanted to take advantage of the situation appeared. These days, the human heart is the most unreliable thing.” Zhang Rui complained about her experiences in the past few days. If not for Yin Tao’s help, her father’s company would really have been in chaos.

“Xiao Rui, do you think the competition between companies will really make some people pay the price with their lives?” As a forensic doctor, Yin Tao didn’t understand some of the struggles in the business world.

“In my father’s eyes, business is indeed very important, but he’s not crazy enough to resort to taking human lives. I heard from him that many people who ran dubious businesses are indeed very ruthless.”

“Dubious businesses?” Yin Tao noticed Zhang Rui’s words and asked, “What do you mean?”

Zhang Rui thought for a moment and explained to Yin Tao, “It’s just some gray business. It might be some illegal business or some businesses that are not totally legit.”

“Do you know anything about this?”

Hearing Yin Tao’s question, Zhang Rui shook her head nervously and hurriedly explained, “I only heard that our family’s business is not illegal. Please don’t get the wrong idea.”

“I know, but I can’t come into contact with these things. It’s a little difficult to investigate.” Yin Tao thought for a moment and asked Zhang Rui, “Xiaorui, can Uncle help me provide a list of companies that might be suspected of breaking the law?”

Yin Tao felt that the information that the police could find was only on the surface. If she wanted to understand the specific businesses of these companies, she could only investigate internally.

The identity of the police alone was enough to alert the enemy. If she wanted to find more clues, she had to think of another way..
