The air in the room became still as it was. Pei Qingcheng sat calmly on a corner of the sofa.

She was really looking forward to the scene of Ye Xiu ripping apart Shen Lo with his bare hands.

She wanted to see Shen Kui's pale face in front of Ye Wen.

Shen Lo arrived very quickly, closing the door behind him and heading straight for them. "Brother, Qingcheng."

Nightingale did not say anything, but raised her chin to indicate Shen to look at the qipao on the tea table.

Shen Li picked up the qipao and scrutinized it carefully. "The cut is neat and tidy. It seems that someone has tampered with the clothes."

Someone? What do you mean?

Pei Qingcheng narrowed her eyes as she stared at Shen Lo Long's calm and composed expression.

Wasn't that person her?

Pei Qingcheng laughed coldly, wanting to see how she would continue acting.

"How many people got their hands on this set of clothes yesterday?" Ye Wen opened his mouth and spoke calmly, with no intention to interrogate.

"I chose it myself and then personally packed it into a box for Du He. No one else would have touched it." Shen Li muttered to himself.

"Qing Qing, do you remember who else touched this dress yesterday?" Nightingale turned her head and looked at her.

Why did he ask about her?

Shouldn't he be questioning Shen Lo?

"Secretary Huang gave me the clothes, but I don't doubt her." Pei Qingcheng icily replied.

A person always has a motive for doing something, Secretary Huang would never do such a thing.

Wasn't it obvious? Why ask her?

Pei Qingcheng lowered her head and stroked the lace of her silk dress, not saying a word.

She heard Nightingale calling Ding Han, and it seemed like Ding Han was being investigated from the other end of the phone.

What was there to investigate? The suspect was right in front of him, but Ye Wen seemed to want to cover it up.

That's right, Shen Lishan didn't embarrass her just now, and he even helped her.

Now that Pei Qingcheng had thought of it, the reason why she helped her was to show it to Ye Xiu.

This was called stabbing with a knife again to save her. What a brilliant strategy.

Pei Qingcheng leaned back against the sofa as the corners of her lips curled up in a disdainful smile.

It looks like everyone's starting point in this game wasn't fair.

When he finished his call, he hung up and threw the phone to the side.

Pei Qingcheng glared at him, wanting to hear what he had to say.

His tired eyes were unfathomable.

He stared at Pei Qingcheng for a moment as though he was hesitating about something.

Was there anything else that could make Ye Wu Chen conflicted?

Just as Pei Qingcheng was about to ask, Ye Wen opened his mouth, "Yesterday afternoon, was Tang Kexin at the Pei household at two o'clock?"

Pei Qingcheng was startled as she suddenly remembered.

However, she immediately stood up and retorted as if she had been stepped on. "Don't tell me you did it on purpose!"

"Qing Qing, don't be agitated." Ye Wen slowly said.

"Director Ye, I'm not excited." Pei Qingcheng quickly adjusted her state of mind. In front of these two men who were as stable as a mountain, if Pei Qingcheng appeared anxious and restless, she would lose.

One had to be as calm as Shen TIanlong to be able to successfully push the pot to an unrelated person.

Pei Qingcheng laughed coldly and sat back down, "That's right. Yesterday, I came to the company, but I didn't touch any clothes."

"Are you sure?" Shen Lo gazed into Pei Qingcheng's eyes, "Qingcheng, think carefully."

Shen Lo's gaze was actually so magnanimous, as if the matter had nothing to do with her.

Hence, despite the fact that in her mind, Pei Qingcheng recalled the scene where she went back to her office after her meeting, and realised that the clothes box on the tea table had been placed on her desk. However, she immediately blocked it.

"No, but my heart hasn't touched my clothes."

"She arrived at Pei Zi Yun's house at 2: 10 and left at 2: 40. You had a meeting at 2: 20, and in that 20 minute, Tang Kexin should be alone in your office, right?" Nightmare actually understood it so well. He even knew when Tang Ke would come and go.

The suspect was right in front of him, yet he pushed the blame onto Tang Kexin.

It was as though a ball of cotton had blocked her heart, making her unable to breathe.

"Tang Kexin is my friend. I don't doubt her, nor do I doubt my secretary. I feel that there's a problem with the clothes being delivered, but …" Pei Qingcheng changed the subject of her words as her gaze swept across Shen Lo's face, "Anyway, the matter has already passed, I do not intend to pursue it."

"Qingcheng, there's something fishy going on. It's best for us to investigate this thoroughly." Shen Kui said.

That was probably how the bandits shouted to catch the thief!

Pei Qingcheng stared coldly at Shen Lo's beautiful face. She had disguised herself so well, one couldn't tell if she was nervous or panicked.

"There's no need to check, I admit it." Pei Qingcheng stood up from the sofa and used her hands to pull at her clothes, "I hope that this item will not split open in front of so many people."

Saying that, he walked towards the door.

"Inclined." Ye Wen called out to her, "Tang Kexin is not a person worth befriending."

Anger finally started to rise in his heart bit by bit. If he did not desperately push down his chest, then the anger would have burst out from his chest.

Obviously, there was something wrong with the clothes that Shen Li had given to Pei Qingcheng. Ye Wen did not question her at all, not even a few harsh words.

He didn't suspect Shen Lo's intentions in the slightest. Instead, he suspected Tang Kexin's intentions.

It wasn't a suspicion, but a certainty that Tang Ke had done it!

Did she look so stupid?

Even her best friend who she grew up with would harm her?

Pei Qingcheng turned around, her eyes gleaming with a cold light. "Chairman Ye likes to control my life, but I'm not a puppet."

After saying this, his fingers turned cold.

She no longer had any loved ones by her side. Was he trying to pull her last friend away?

After that, he was her savior. When she was abandoned by the whole world, she could only go and find him?

He placed his hand on the door handle and forcefully pulled it open.

However, a hand pushed the door she had pulled open, and behind her head was a low, tired voice. "Long distance, you go out first."

"Yes." Shen Lo walked all the way to the door, gently opened it and walked out.

Her facial expression remained open.

Had he put on too much act, and the act had already blended into her life?

Pei Qingcheng leaned her back against the door as she placed one hand against it while the other wrapped around her, "It's actually very easy to know the truth."

Pei Qingcheng struggled with all her might. At this moment, her body was filled with an uncomfortable feeling from his embrace, especially after he had traveled so far without reason.

"The truth is in my heart." Pei Qingcheng struggled a little, but as she had no dinner, she did not have the strength to struggle free, and could only give up.

"The truth needs to be found and analysed." "On December 16th, you called Tang Kexin, hoping that she could help you with your mother's medical expenses, but Tang Kexin was the first to tell you that she was in London."

Pei Qingcheng pondered deeply. December 16th was the first day of her dream at the Manor, and it was only then that she agreed to stay by Ye Wen's side.

She lowered her head to look at her toes. What Nightingale said was right. Tang Kexin wasn't in Mo City, so was there a problem?

"On the 15th of December, Tang Kexin was still in Mo City. On the 16th, he arrived in London and on the 17th, he returned to Mo City in the evening? The flight from Mo City to London would take at least sixteen hours. "

"What are you trying to say?" Pei Qingcheng raised her head and looked into Ye Wen's eyes. She did not understand why Ye Wen would tell her all these dates.

"The customs office doesn't have any information on Tang Kexin's December 16th exits or exits. She hasn't left Mo City for the past three months."

Looking at Ye Wen's dark eyes, Pei Qingcheng felt a little dizzy.

She closed her eyes and thought hard.

So, when she called Tang Kexin, she was not in London, but in the city?

Why did she say that?

In that split-second, Pei Qingcheng seemed to have understood something.

The meaning behind his words was that Tang Kexin's reason for doing this was because Tang Kexin didn't want to help her.

Tang Kexin had said that her grandmother was sick, so how could Pei Qingcheng ask her to borrow money at that time?

Is that right?

No, no.

The Tang Clan was rich, and Tang Kexin had a month's worth of pocket money. Furthermore, she had a position as the general manager of the Tang Clan Group, so even though she didn't have to go to work, she still received a large salary every month.

Besides, they were good friends, good enough to share secrets.

When she ran away from home on the day of her wedding with Nighteyes, it was Tang Kexin who accepted her and put her in one of her private villas for a long time.

Therefore, Ye Xiu's assumption was wrong.

"No." Pei Qingcheng was in a state of confusion, but she still resolutely shook her head, "Don't provoke the relationship between me and Tang Kexin."

"Weren't you together with Tang Kexin just now?" Something's wrong with your clothes. Where did she go? "

It was only then that Pei Qingcheng remembered. She had asked Tang Ke to help her with her coat, but he had never returned.

Perhaps, she just couldn't find the housekeeper. The customers were as numerous as the clouds tonight, and the butler would be so busy that his feet wouldn't even touch the ground.

However, the confidence in Pei Qingcheng's voice had already disappeared. "I'll get Kindness to help me get Butler Hu's coat."

"It's very simple. Just ask Steward Hu."

Ye Wen finally let go of Pei Qingcheng and sat her down in the chair.

Pei Qingcheng's head buzzed, as if she was in a courtyard filled with weeds. The wind blew on her, causing her to be in an even more disarray.

While Ye Wen was instructing the servants to bring Butler Hu up, Pei Qingcheng sat in a chair and waited.

Very soon, Butler Hu arrived. Without knowing what had happened, he looked at the two of them in fear, "Young Master, Young Madam, what's the matter?"

Pei Qingcheng licked her lips and tried her best to speak, "Miss Tang, do you know who it is?"

"Miss Tang, the Tang Group's daughter!" "Of course I know. She came with her brother, Mr. Tang Kefeng." Housekeeper Hu said.

"Yes." Pei Qingcheng nodded her head as her palms started to sweat. She was very nervous, afraid that she would hear something that she could not analyze, she took a deep breath and asked: "Miss Tang Kexin, did you ask me to pass my coat to her tonight?"

Butler Hu immediately shook his head, "No." He answered without thinking.

"Are you sure?" Pei Qingcheng stood up and asked.

"Sure, I also met Miss Tang. She asked me where the washroom is, and I pointed it out to her. She even thanked me."

In other words, Tang Kexin met Housekeeper Hu but didn't mention anything about her coat?

She was so dizzy that she supported herself on the back of the sofa, her nails digging into the glossy skin of the leather.

She still had a sliver of hope in her heart. "Maybe she doesn't know who you are?"
