The man said, “Got it. I’ll handle this matter.”

Tan Jing didn’t understand. “You are looking for Mo Shu to help Zhang Ting, but Zhang Ting doesn’t have much ability. Is there any point in helping him?”

“Zhang Ting is useless, but he has the teachers of an entire university research institute backing him. Since he’s a university teacher, it’s very convenient for him to plagiarize students’ ideas, so he can still provide us with some value. Moreover, Mo Shu is very talented. The main reason we want to find him is so that he can be of use to us.”

The man continued, “You should know that Yun Duan Software Company has already become a thorn in Shi Xiao’s side, so nothing can happen to Zhang Ting. Once something happens to him, Shi Xiao will definitely do his best to attack Dun Yuan Technology Company and make it disappear completely.”

Tan Jing didn’t say anything else, since he knew that Shi Xiao was a vengeful person who would seek revenge for the smallest grievance and had the ability to do so. If Dun Yuan Technology Company went against blue blood families, it would be like throwing an egg at a rock.

At this moment, someone knocked on the office door. Tan Jing knew that the person in front of him didn’t want others to know his identity, so he closed the door and walked out.

The person who came was the manager of the mall. He reported, “Boss, the person you asked to be followed went to a homewear shop and looked at some homewear. The things she bought were all household necessities. Moreover, there were many types of items. They’ve bought all kinds of daily necessities. She must have just moved and wanted to buy necessities.”

Tan Jing was suspicious and repeated, “Move?” With that, the manager left.

After Tan Jing returned to the office, he repeated the manager’s words to the man in the room. In the end, he added his own judgment. “Yuan Shu probably moved out of the Shi family’s home. Could it be that after the Finance Bureau took Yuan Shu away, the comments online were too overwhelming and Shi Xiao decided to give up on Yuan Shu?”

The man said, “It’s hard to say. It’s rare for Shi Xiao to be so concerned about a woman. For him to do so much for Yuan Shu, he must have fallen in love with Yuan Shu, so it’s impossible for him to give up on Yuan Shu over such a small matter, especially since these things didn’t hurt Yuan Shu at all. Moreover, the Shi family has family rules, so he won’t divorce her so easily.”

Tan Jing said, “Then, are we still going to target Yuan Shu?”

“Let’s wait and see. I want to see what the two of them are up to.” The man suddenly thought of something and asked, “Tan Zhao and Shi Bin are classmates, right?”

Tan Jing replied, “Tan Zhao and Shi Bin have been in the same school since elementary school. The two of them have been fighting since they were young and form cliques that are at odds with each other. They don’t get along well.”

After the man placed the blanket down and placed his left hand on his knee, he tapped his knee rhythmically with his fingertips as he said, “1 received news that Shi Bin has resigned from Shenglan Venture Investment Company.”

Tan Jing didn’t think much of it. “Isn’t it normal for him to resign? This kid even dyed his hair silver previously. He has always been a problematic slacker.”

“That was before. This kid has already restrained himself a lot under Yuan Shu’s discipline. He has been working at the Shenglan Venture Investment Company for nearly three months. It’s obvious that he’s very interested in this job. What do you think can make him resign?”

Tan Jing wasn’t a fool, so he understood immediately. “You mean that Shi Xiao asked Shi Bin to leave his job and work in the Shi Corporation?”

“That’s right. Shi Bin is simple-minded, so he might be a breakthrough point.”

Tan Jing understood very quickly. “You want Tan Zhao to be the breakthrough point?”

Tan Zhao was Tan Jing’s half-brother. Although Tan Jing was strict with Tan Zhao, they were still brothers. If Tan Zhao provoked Shi Bin, it might affect him and put his life in danger.

Tan Jing wanted to reject the man, but the man said, “Don’t worry, I won’t let anything happen to your brother. Shi Bin just caused Yuan Shu to enter the Finance and Tax Bureau, so he probably feels guilty. Tan Zhao doesn’t need to do anything. He just needs to bring him around to have fun. The best way to defeat someone is to wear down his willpower.”

“What? You want me to take the initiative to ask Shi Bin out? I’m not going!” Tan Zhao threw down his chopsticks and turned around to return to his room..
