"Oh. There’s a living room in the back, you can go inside." Ji Wei smiled and gestured behind her.

Under Ji Wei’s piercing gaze, she had no choice but to brace herself and go inside.

Chen Ke came upstairs not long after and leaned close to Ji Wei’s ear to whisper, "During the time the reporters entered, the building’s surveillance systems were tampered with, and nothing was recorded."

Ji Wei’s fingers tapped the rim of the milk glass as her eyes grew cold, "So, apart from this Mu Jiajiao, there is someone else involved."

Judging from Mu Jiajiao’s reaction just now, it seems like she doesn’t know someone helped her behind the scenes...

Chen Ke furrowed his brows as well.

At the time, the list of internal accomplices that Tang Yi had provided from the Ji Family did not contain Mu Jiajiao’s name. That woman is truly cunning, leaving a backup plan.

As soon as Mu Jiajiao entered the bathroom, she locked the door.

She nervously glanced around, and upon realizing there were no cameras, swiftly pulled out her phone to make a call for help.

"Lawyer Pei, for the sake of my good relationship with Sister Yi, you absolutely must help me with one favor..." Once the call connected, Mu Jiajiao eagerly started speaking.

Inside the law office.

Pei You ended the call with Mu Jiajiao, then pulled a document envelope out of a drawer. When he saw the name of the client printed on the outside, a vicious glint flashed in his eyes.

"Xiao Ma, send this lawyer’s letter to the Ji Family." He called an assistant and gave instructions.

The assistant took the document envelope and, upon glimpsing the name of the plaintiff, stared wide-eyed in shock, "Lawyer Pei, this person..."

"You’re not mistaken, she is the eldest daughter of the Ji Family, Ji Wei," Pei You’s lips curled into a slow smirk.

Gu Moqian held evidence of his affair, and he had been tormented with sleepless nights for days. On second thought, instead of waiting around helplessly, why not go after Gu Moqian’s favorite woman?

Thus, he began investigating Ji Wei’s sordid past, putting everything that could serve as grounds for a lawsuit into the lawyer’s letter.

Xiao Ma was about to leave with the document envelope, but suddenly thought of something and turned back, saying, "By the way, Lawyer Pei, I just received a call from Sister Yi. Her tone... was a bit strange. She chatted with me casually for ages and insisted I go to Rongcheng Police Station today to ’visit my brother.’ But I don’t even have a brother..."

Pei You froze for a moment before quickly realizing what Tang Yi meant.

She actually went to get revenge on Ji Wei and ended up getting caught!

Grabbing his jacket, he prepared to leave, but paused after just two steps.

No, if he goes now, wouldn’t that expose himself?

Gu Moqian’s people were surely monitoring his every move in secret.

With that in mind, he sat back down in his chair and quickly scribbled a note, handing it to his assistant: "Xiao Ma, after delivering the lawyer’s letter, head to the police station and pretend you’re there regarding another suspect’s case. When you meet Tang Yi, discreetly pass her this note."

"Tang... Tang Yi?" Xiao Ma appeared visibly shocked.

The boss’s secret lover actually ended up at the police station?

"This matter must not leak, understood?" Pei You instructed in a dark tone.

Xiao Ma, always a little intimidated by Pei You, dared not ask further when he saw Pei You fixing him with a sharp glare, and promptly left.

...

Mu Jiajiao walked out of the living room with a much calmer demeanor.

"Miss Ji, has the surveillance footage been retrieved?" She forced a smile and proactively asked.

"Oh, Assistant Chen said that the security team’s footage during that time period encountered an issue and can’t be accessed for now. We’ll have to wait for it to be repaired," Ji Wei said smoothly, lifting her head slightly from her documents, "All right, let’s not delay your work. You can go back to your duties."

"Okay... sure..."

Mu Jiajiao secretly rejoiced and swiftly turned to leave.

Watching the employee’s departing figure, Ji Wei’s face grew icier inch by inch.
