Chapter 223: Exposure
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
During the time Su Tang lived with the Shi family, Shi Man gradually found the joy of feeding her.
When Su Tang first came to the house, she didn’t dare to speak casually, nor would she take the initiative to eat. She only ate it in small bites when someone placed it in front of her.
Therefore, Shi Man simply took something to feed her. After a long time, she could finally let go and gradually become cheerful.
In the beginning, she would take the initiative to join her family’s chat. Even if she didn’t speak, she would listen to them. Sometimes, when she talked about fun things, there would be an unconcealable smile on her face.
Shi Mu had always been a passionate and proactive person. He was the first to accept Su Tang’s existence. Just like now, when he occasionally received Shi Man’s instructions, he would take the initiative to help Shi Man treat her well. In fact, he treated her as another sister in his heart.
When Su Tang heard the two of them say this, she looked up at Shi Yu to verify.
In her impression, this second brother always had a smile like the spring breeze and spoke gently. He did not look like a lawyer, but like the kind of teacher who could easily become friends with his students on campus.
Shi Yu naturally understood what Shi Man meant and would not snatch a bite from Su Tang.
Pushing the plate in front of her, Shi Yu coughed dryly and adjusted his glasses. “Eat it. This is Sister’s good intentions for you. To be honest, I’ve never seen Sister treat anyone so well before you.”
That was the truth.
In the past, Shi Man had grown up under the unconditional love of her family. After she grew up, she started to chase after Yi Zheng. She would not even look at unrelated people, let alone take the initiative to bring her classmates home and give them delicious food.
Su Tang could not refuse her kindness. Only then was she willing to obediently reach out, pick up a cherry, and throw it into her mouth. She smiled at Shi Man from the bottom of her heart.
Seeing that she liked it, the satisfaction in Shi Man’s heart swelled to the extreme. She grabbed some walnuts and handed them to her. “It’s really hard on you to draw designs until late at night every day. You have to eat more walnuts to nourish your brain.”
“Alright, alright.” Su Tang and Shi Man became more and more familiar. Gradually, she stopped saying thank you and secretly remembered all her kindness to her.
Back to the main topic, Shi Yu still refused to let Shi Man get away with it easily. He had to investigate until the end and make her tell him about Shi Jing before he was willing to stop.
He was worried that his sister would hide it from her family again and shoulder the matter alone, so he planned to make her explain things clearly when he was free tonight.
Ever since Shi Jing was chased out of the Shi family, she had actually been secretly paying attention to Shi Jing’s movements.
Shi Jing thought that she had hidden her secret well, but Shi Man had long known it.
However, knowing was one thing, and whether she could say it out loud was another. She hid some of the nasty things and only said something unimportant vaguely. “1 only saw Shi Jing and Zhang Cheng together occasionally. I also know that Zhu Wen was entangled with Shi Jing some time ago, so I mentioned him on that occasion to agitate Zhu Wen. I didn’t mean anything else.”
“Is that really all?” Shi Yu stared at her suspiciously.
Shi Man showed it to him openly. When she was done, she smiled and said, “Otherwise, what else can 1 know? I’ve never contacted her in school. I just met her a few times and realized that she can always own the latest luxury bags.”
“Where did she get the money to buy those things? I remember that she spends all the living expenses our family gave her every time. It’s impossible for her to have any savings!”
Shi Mu keenly smelled something unusual. Suddenly, he thought of something and his expression gradually twisted. “Could she be relying on changing boyfriends frequently to satisfy her vanity?”
Shi Man wanted to tell him that the answer was very close, but she restrained her smile and slowly blew on the cold tea.
Shi Jing was such a big secret. Of course, she had to wait for the police to dig it out themselves. Moreover, she believed that there must be many people targeting Shi Jing now. Even if the police deliberately protected her privacy, the results of the investigation would be known by everyone without anyone knowing.
Shi Man’s guess was right. Because this case involved the reputation of Cassel Academy, the police investigated overnight and took out all of Shi Jing’s assets.
However, their dossier had just been tidied up. Before the officers left the police station to arrest Shi Jing, the people outside magically knew that Shi Jing was suspected of illegal activities such as prostitution. Many hotels had surveillance cameras recording her frequent visits with different men.
The evidence was conclusive, but after the matter blew up, Shi Jing seemed to have evaporated into thin air and disappeared without a trace.
The police could only apologize to the school while sending people to search the entire city for Shi Jing. At the same time, they brought the men who were involved with Shi Jing back to the police station for investigation..
