Yi Zheng’s heart couldn’t help but ripple when she said “my fiance”. The smile on his lips deepened, and the haze in his eyes was swept away.

Yi Zheng couldn’t help but think that if Shi Man’s dream was really because her grandmother was in heaven. She would definitely be very happy to see Shi Man take the initiative to come and see her.

Shi Man sent him back to the hospital and personally accompanied him to change his dressing before getting up to leave.

In the afternoon, she went to the company and handed over her work to Meng Hui. Then, she sat alone in the office.

Shi Man, who had always been lost in her work, found it difficult to focus this time. Her mind was filled with the past Yi Zheng had just mentioned.

Even though many doubts had been answered by Yi Zheng, Shi Man still felt that there were some things that could not be explained.

For example, if there was really such a mastermind, he had been hiding in G City and waiting for an opportunity to make a move without achieving his goal back then. However, there was no need for him to hide for so many years.

But if he had really left G City, finding that person would be like finding a needle in a haystack.

Just as she was thinking hard, Shi Man suddenly glanced at the city reconstruction plan proposal on the table. Her pupils suddenly dilated, and she could not help but stroke the words in a hurry. A certain joint in her mind that she could not figure out suddenly opened up.

How could she say that that person had not made a move for so many years?

At that time, Hellgate, Nighthawk, and Blood Oath were entrenched. Nighthawk was alone and Hellgate was slightly stronger. Both sides sought help from the Blood Oath at the same time. However, before the Blood Oath could take action, the armory behind Hellgate suddenly exploded. Jun Mo’s whereabouts were still unknown.

Overnight, the three factions became two. However, the men from Nighthawk lost their boss and were greatly affected. Blood Oath suddenly became a hot potato.

As Blood Oath’s status rose again, the group made countless enemies.

Then there was this car accident. The effect was visible to the naked eye.

Yi Zheng was still unable to be discharged from the hospital. The company’s matters were almost handed over to Yi Che.

These two times, they were clearly targeting Yi Zheng. The person controlling everything behind the scenes had never appeared like back then and could not be investigated.

Shi Man had reason to suspect that this person might be the mastermind who had secretly provided bombs to Lin Wei and his wife back then!

After figuring it out, Shi Man couldn’t wait to share her thoughts with Yi Zheng. Unexpectedly, as soon as she opened the office door, she almost knocked someone down.

Meng Hui was about to enter the office to deliver documents to her, but she was frightened by the ecstatic and fierce expression on her face. She immediately leaned against the wall and did not dare to move.

Shi Man glanced at her lightly and put away her expression. She said calmly, “What is it?”

“Oh! There’s a document here that needs your signature now!” Meng Hui hurriedly handed the contract over. She was so nervous that she couldn’t help but swallow her saliva. She didn’t even know where to put her hands and feet.

Shi Man hurriedly finished reading and felt that there was no problem. She signed her name and returned it to Meng Hui. “Is there anything else?”

“Yes, yes!” Meng Hui carefully probed. “Third Young Master called just now and asked if you are in the company. If you are, he asked you to call him back.”

Shi Man reached into her pocket doubtfully. Only then did she remember that she had forgotten to bring her cell phone when she came out. She had no choice but to borrow it from Meng Hui.

Meng Hui hurriedly handed over her phone and smiled tactfully. “Go ahead. 1’11 send the contract first.”

“Yes,” Shi Man replied calmly and quickly called her brother.

Shi He was waiting anxiously. As soon as he received a call from Meng Hui’s cell phone, he couldn’t wait to ask, “How is it? Is Manman done? Does she have time to call me back?”

Shi Man curled her lips in amusement and teased, “Of course. Brother, what’s the matter?”

Shi He finally heaved a sigh of relief when he heard her voice. Then, he asked seriously, “Why did you run to the company? Are you well already?”

“Yes.” Shi Man leaned lazily against the wall and tilted her head to size up the secretariat that Meng Hui had taken care of. She smiled in satisfaction and said, “Brother, you didn’t look for me just to question me, right?”

“There’s something.” Shi He cleared his throat awkwardly and asked carefully, “Sister, there’s going to be a ball in the entertainment industry later. They ask everyone to have a dance partner. If you’ve recovered, can you accompany me?” “So that’s what happened.” Shi Man agreed readily and asked for the time and address carefully. She agreed to meet Shi He at the stylist specially used by the Shi family and hung up.

Actually, when Shi Man heard this invitation, she wanted to ask her brother why he didn’t invite Lin Yue to be his dance partner. However, after thinking about it, she didn’t expose him to prevent making things difficult for her brother.

It was not until she saw Lin Yue at the entrance of the ball that everything was explained.

“Who’s ATiss Lin’s dance partner? Why haven’t I seen him before?” Shi Man nudged Shi He curiously with her elbow. Seeing his tense jawline, Shi Man immediately understood that what Yi Zheng said was probably the truth..
