Chapter 1032: Worried (3)

They met at the field they used to meet. The scorching afternoon was only slightly bearable with the occasional breeze.

A black car went past the highway and turned into the route leading to the field.

A bodyguard and a driver were with Xi Xiaye in the car. The bodyguard was Shen Yue's trusted personnel who had now became Xi Xiaye's assistant.

"CEO Xi, we're here," the driver announced as he slowed down the car.

Xi Xiaye kept the documents into a thick folder as she raised her head and looked at the field. She quickly noticed the lone figure out there while the driver went over to open the door for her. "Just wait for me here."

She grabbed the folder and walked towards the field.

Inspector Zhang turned when he heard the sound of footsteps coming near. He then saw Xi Xiaye walking towards him.

"Long time no see, Inspector Zhang!" Xi Xiaye smiled.

Inspector Zhang quickly noticed Xi Xiaye's injuries, so he inquired, "Long time no see indeed. You look great, but what happened to your arms and forehead?"

Xi Xiaye looked at her arms and put on a bitter smile. "Just got into a little accident. I'm almost completely healed now."

"What's the matter?" Inspector Zhang went straight to business. "Your tone sounded pretty urgent over the phone."

Xi Xiaye's eyes darkened before handing the folder to Inspector Zhang. "Take a look at these."

Inspector Zhang squinted his eyes at Xi Xiaye and took the folder. He took a glance at the contents. "Gu Qiwu, Doris? Mu Zi? This is..."

Inspector Zhang's eyes widened, he could not believe what he just read briefly. He suddenly remembered that Xi Xiaye had told him to keep an eye on Mu Lingshi as well, but he had not done any in-depth investigation on her. However, this information would cause huge chaos in City Z if it ever got exposed!

"Yes, Inspector Zhang, I gave these to you because I trust you. I'm afraid what I'm about to ask can only be achieved by you." Xi Xiaye looked at Inspector Zhang quietly with genuine eyes.

Inspector Zhang smiled and took a deep breath. "If you say so. It'd be rude of me to not give it my best shot, so tell me, what should I do?"

Xi Xiaye smiled gratefully. "Thank you, Inspector Zhang! I showed you these documents to let you get a grasp of what's happening. Gu Qiwu already had a son with Mu Zi before he married Doris. It was Mu Lingtian which the documents clearly point out. I hope you can help me find evidence of Gu Qiwu and Mu Zi being in love decades ago. Of course, it needs to be during the time when Gu Qiwu had not married Doris yet. I need it to be as specific as possible. Whilst it might be very difficult for others, I suppose it doesn't pose a huge challenge for you, does it?"

Inspector Zhang's lips flattened into a grim smile. "Ms. Xiaye, you really overestimate me. From what I know about Mu Yuchen and Gu Qiwu, one of them looked through every little small detail and only happened to find out the truth today. Gu Qiwu spent so much effort covering his tracks, and this all occurred decades ago, so you can imagine how difficult this will be."

Xi Xiaye's eyes darkened slightly. "Inspector Zhang, this might be a tough challenge, but I believe in your abilities. You stopped the investigation the last time due to some external factors, but don't worry about it this time. It isn't exactly a secret to some people anymore. This is extremely important to me, so I hope you can help me out. You can ask for any terms you want and I'll do my best to comply. Please, Inspector Zhang?"

Hesitant, he frowned and gave it some thought before putting the documents back into the folder as he looked at Xi Xiaye's eyes which were full of expectations. "I'll try my best. Due to the difficulty of this task, it'll take some time. I need to go back and sort out this information before thinking about where to start."

"Thank you, Inspector Zhang! I'll leave this in your capable hands. I'm worried that Mu Yuchen is being monitored all the time, so it's difficult for his men to make a move. You're the only one I can depend on. This information is still top secret at the moment, so I hope you can keep them safe."

"Don't worry. Secrets will remain safe in our profession. I won't let anyone else know about it." Inspector Zhang clipped the folder under his arm before he took out a pack of cigarettes and lit a stick up.

"Thank you! By the way, maybe you can start investigating at the Xiang She residence in City B. I learned from Mu Yuchen that Gu Qiwu bought it for Mu Zi when they were in a relationship, but it's been rebuilt, so most of the evidence might have been gone already and—"

"No evidence can be fully erased. If Mu Yuchen's men can find out about that, that means there are still some traces over there. If one has enough patience and intelligence, it's not impossible!" Inspector Zhang interrupted Xi Xiaye before she could finish her sentence.

Xi Xiaye grinned. "I really like your enthusiasm! Well, I know this is difficult, but do you think you can find out in a month's time? I'm afraid this matter can't be dragged on any longer."

Inspector Zhang frowned. "I can't guarantee, but I'll try my best!"

Xi Xiaye nodded. "I believe that I'll be getting good news from you soon."
