She hurriedly struggled with her hands and said, “Shi Man, do you think only you will investigate Shi He’s matter? I’m afraid you can’t let your family know where you want to bring me!”
Shi Man turned around and lifted her chin. She said word by word, “Who do you think you harmed? Even if I don’t want anything, I’ll drag your Lin family down with me.”
“Young Master Shi, you can’t go in.”
Outside the office, Wan Na’s voice came in hurriedly, as if she was deliberately signaling the two people in the room.
Lin Yue’s flustered eyes were suddenly filled with smiles. She lowered her eyes and looked at the knife that was still dripping blood from Shi Man’s hand. A faint smile appeared on her lips. “CEO Shi, aren’t you going to put it away? When your brother comes in and sees it later, what will he think of his sister, whom he has always treasured?”
Shi Man did not expect Shi Ke to come so quickly. Calculating the time, Shi He should not have come out of the operating theater yet.
She frowned tightly. Just as she was hesitating, the office door was kicked open from the outside.
Shi Ke had never been so hot-tempered before, but now that Shi He’s life was still in danger, he had long forgotten about his usual calmness.
He came this time to have some evidence to confront Lin Yue, but he did not expect to see Shi Man sitting on the sofa drinking tea leisurely. His monstrous anger instantly subsided. “Manman, why are you here?”
“Just like you.” Shi Man glanced at him lightly, her gaze slowly falling on the document in his hand. She narrowed her eyes and said, “What is that?”
Only then did Shi Ke remember his purpose for coming this time. He walked up to Lin Yue and spread the document in his hand in front of her expressionlessly. “I want to ask Miss Lin to explain why Miss Lin can transfer all the company’s accounts privately when she and my brother are both shareholders of the company?”
Lin Yue raised her eyebrows as expected. She put down her teacup and smiled smugly. “Young Master, you also know that Shi He and I are in charge of this company. I’m afraid this has nothing to do with you, right?”
Shi Ke had expected her to say this. He took out another document and threw it in front of her. “Alright, then I’ll ask Miss Lin a private matter. Did you take the initiative to break up with my brother after only dating him for a week?”
Shi Man narrowed her eyes, and her gaze turned sharp in an instant, staring straight at Lin Yue.
Lin Yue was surprised for a moment before she smiled regretfully. “Yes, 1 admit that Shi He is a very good man, but we’re not compatible, so our relationship only lasted for a short week before it ended. I’m deeply sorry.”
She turned her head and looked at Shi Man with a smile. “Women are always the ones to suffer in relationships. Having a boyfriend for such a short period of time will have a lot of negative effects on me. I think CEO Shi, who is also a woman, should be able to understand this better.”
Her words were sincere, and no one could find fault with her.
Shi Man pursed her lips and did not answer.
She had been busy with other work recently and had really neglected Shi He and Lin Yue.
However, she did not notice that Shi Ke had already sent someone to investigate clearly.
After Lin Yue came to the house as a guest last time, Shen Xian thought that she was about to have her first daughter-in-law, so she asked Shi Ke to check on Lin Yue’s preferences.
At that time, Shi Ke did not deliberately investigate her, but he was still careful and got someone to pay close attention to the two of them. He did not expect the investigation to be useful in such a situation.
He took out a photo from the surveillance cameras in his hand and placed it in front of Lin Yue. He said expressionlessly, “During the time you were with Xiao He, you took the time to see a man almost every night. Who is he?”
This time, Lin Yue could no longer remain calm. She did not expect Shi Ke to find out about this. After standing up in a panic, she realized that her reaction was too agitated.
She tilted her head slightly and was caught off guard by Shi Man’s suddenly cold eyes. She quickly explained, “1 didn’t cheat. When I was with Shi He, we were stuck together almost every day. He knows best. As for who I went to see, that’s my freedom!”
“Lin Yue!” Shi Ke’s gentle voice was suddenly tainted with traces of coldness. He stared at the girl in front of him who had obviously been exposed and said with a dark expression, “If you tell the truth now, we can only blame this matter on the relationship between the two of you. Otherwise, I won’t let the entire Lin family off.”
Lin Yue knew the seriousness of the matter after it was exposed. A trace of stubbornness flashed across her eyes as she gritted her teeth and said, “I’m not lying! I didn’t let Shi He down! Shi He jumping off a building and committing suicide has nothing to do with me.”
Shi Ke couldn’t take it anymore. He suddenly walked over and grabbed Lin Yue’s wrist, his eyes filled with anger.. “Lin Yue, my brother really likes you, but what about you? I’m afraid your relationship was a scam from the beginning to the end!”
