"Thank you! I definitely need to thank you properly! My sister has been incredibly busy lately, and Zijing and I only kept an eye on things for a month before this happened. If I don't figure this out, I'll be too ashamed to face anyone!"

Xiang Xinran jokingly said to her, "Work hard! I'll be waiting for you to rise to prominence. I'll be waiting for your whole family to benefit from your success."

Xiang Xinran hacked into the computer of the online troll leader and found several payment records. He tapped the screen with his finger and said, "Look, this is the account. The recent payment records are all from this person."

"Is it possible to find his personal information?"

Xiang Xinran rolled her eyes: "You really think I'm omnipotent? Investigating the head of the online trolls is possible because the accounts are linked, and he hasn't changed his computer yet. Using the same ID is fine. But privately checking personal information is illegal!"

"You think hacking into someone else's computer isn't illegal?"

Xiang Xinran was speechless and glared at her irritably: "Then call the police and have me arrested."

"Hehe, don't be angry. It's good that we found this far. I'll think of other ways to find out the rest."

After leaving Xiang Xinran's place, Shen He called Shi Shi. Upon hearing the call, Shi Shi suddenly remembered that Fu Yingzhou had asked Zhang Feng to help investigate Fu Zhixu's matter. There was still no news!

There was no sound on the phone. Shen He called out twice, "Cousin! Are you listening?"

"Okay, I heard you. I'll find someone to help you look it up."

Who is it?

"Zhang Feng."

"Huh? He quit being a policeman? How come he's taking on gangster jobs too?"

"Don't talk nonsense. I asked him to act as a go-between and let someone else investigate."

"Oh, okay, then have him contact me? You're so busy, I'll follow up on this!"

"Alright, I'll say hello to him. He can contact you for details."

"Euroshell!"

Zhang Feng's contact information was given to him by Fu Yingzhou. Since the two became friends, they had not contacted each other once. Shishi tentatively sent him a message asking if he was there.

---exist.

One word: Pretty cool.

—Is it convenient to answer the phone?

---Hold on.

Wow, there's an extra word.

Two minutes later, Zhang Feng called.

Shishi was waiting for his call, so she answered immediately.

"What is it, sister-in-law?"

Listening to Zhang Feng's phone call, all Shi Shi could hear were the sounds of trains passing by on the tracks. Shi Shi realized that Zhang Feng was probably busy.

"Sorry to bother you, but I have something I'd like to ask for your help with. I was wondering if it would be convenient for you?"

If it were just friends she made on a social level, Shi Shi could have used more tactful language to flatter them and make them help her. But since they were Fu Yingzhou's friends, she didn't want to appear too mercenary.

"Let me tell you what it is about first."

Shi Shi briefly told the other party what had happened in the past two days.

Without hesitation, Zhang Feng replied, "You're asking me about this? Haha, sister-in-law, you're going down the wrong path! I can indeed investigate, but you can have Shen He directly ask Lu Chiye for help. That's what he does! By the way, he also has two consulting offices under him."

Shishi suddenly remembered the consultation room that Fu Yingzhou had mentioned to her before, which was actually a private detective agency!

"Let me ask Xiaohe. If it's inconvenient over there, could you help me make a connection and contact a counseling center? By the way, is there any progress on Fu Zhixu's matter?"

Raising an eyebrow, Zhang Feng mumbled, "It'll be soon!"

Hearing Shi Shi's words, Zhang Feng knew that Lu Chiye hadn't won the girl's heart yet. He cursed him inwardly as a useless piece of trash. Then he thought, Fu Yingzhou hadn't told Shi Shi about Fu Zhixu. Hmph, twice the useless piece of trash!

Shi Shi also happened to want to ask Shen He about his relationship with Lu Chiye and how things were going.

Upon receiving her cousin's reply, Shen He didn't hesitate at all: "Him and I... are just friends who are physically and mentally compatible, but not compatible in terms of our outlook on life. All I know is that he runs a security company, no wonder he's so well-informed. Every time I sneak out to hunt, he catches me."

Shishi sighed inwardly. What does it mean to have a discordant outlook on life? Isn't that just playing around and not taking responsibility?

Just as she was about to say a few words of advice to Shen He, she heard an interruption from the other end of the phone that she didn't want to hear.

“Since Lu Chiye can investigate, then leave this matter to me.”

After hanging up with Shen He, the phone screen lit up and the ringtone sounded.

It is Fu Yingzhou.

Shishi answered the phone, and Fu Yingzhou's deep voice came through: "Are you done with work? Let's have dinner together?"

Shishi glanced at the time and realized it was lunchtime, so she agreed.

The two met at a French restaurant. During the meal, Shishi told him about what had happened at the influencer company, and mentioned that Zhang Feng had suggested asking Lu Chiye for help. Fu Yingzhou smiled slightly: "Lu Chiye is indeed good at these things."

Just then, Shishi received a message from Shen He on her phone, saying that he had contacted Lu Chiye, who was happy to help, and even joked that he and Lu Chiye got along quite well. Shishi looked at the message, feeling somewhat helpless, and thought to herself, "I'm not old at all, so why can't I understand young people's feelings?" She shouldn't interfere too much.

Looking at her expression, Fu Yingzhou smiled and patted her head: "Don't worry too much, they can handle it themselves."

Shishi nodded. Thinking about Fu Zhixu, she asked directly, "You asked Zhang Feng to investigate Fu Zhixu before. Is there any news now?"

Fu Yingzhou was slightly taken aback, then said, "There's a result."

Seeing that Shi Shi was listening attentively, Fu Yingzhou slowly began to explain the whole story to her.

Talking to my girlfriend about her ex is really not a good feeling!

"Fu Zhixu's father was angered to death by his mother."

Shi Shi smelled the scent of an earth-shattering juicy gossip. Her eyes were fixed on Fu Yingzhou, devoid of any other thoughts, only filled with the curiosity of someone about to witness such a bombshell.

Fu Yingzhou: ...This is really unexpected.

"His mother was having an affair, and his father caught her. While chasing after the adulterer, she stepped on a manhole cover, fell in, and hit her head on a steel pipe at the bottom of the well. She died on the spot."

Upon hearing this, Shishi couldn't help but sigh, "So his mother was having such a wild time outside. I never would have guessed."

Fu Yingzhou: "You're really not familiar with him at all."

Shi Shi stretched out her fingers and started to break them off one by one. After she finished, she said to Fu Yingzhou, "Thirteen or fourteen times, I guess. From the time we got married until we got divorced, I've only met his parents a dozen or so times. I've even forgotten what Fu Zhixu's younger brother looks like."

Fu Yingzhou continued, "When Fu Zhixu went to handle his father's funeral arrangements, he found a will that stated that the eldest son would receive 70% and the youngest son would receive 30% after his death."

"His dad already knew he was being cheated on?"

Fu Yingzhou nodded: "Probably." He took a sip of water and continued: "His mother turned hostile as soon as she heard the contents of the will."

Shi Shi found this easy to understand. Since she had a lover, her relationship with her husband must be very strained. Naturally, she'd want to rake in more money for herself. Especially since she had indirectly caused the death of her two children's father. If she didn't want money, did she expect her two children to support her properly?
