Yi Zheng pulled her back to her room and pressed her shoulder to let her sit on the sofa. Then, he slowly analyzed for her. “According to our previous analysis, if there’s a mole inside Immaculate, he must know that you have already grasped the clue of the strange fragrance.”
“Yes.” Shi Man frowned and continued, “He knew that I wouldn’t stay in the hotel all day today, so he specially chose to take action after we left.”
“But Sean has been at the entrance of the hotel. He didn’t seem to be lying when he said that he didn’t see us leave, which means that he really doesn’t know anything.” Yi Zheng carefully recalled Sean’s surprised expression at that time and continued, “Moreover, the two of us left through the backdoor. The other party clearly knows this very well.”
Thinking of this, Yi Zheng looked over with a deep gaze. “Does anyone know that you arranged for Sean to be at the entrance of the hotel today?”
“As far as I know, no one will know.” Shi Man wanted to take advantage of today’s killing of three birds with one stone. After getting rid of Cheng Zhen, the scourge, she would use Cheng Zhen to lure out Jun Mo and finally identify the mole.
However, at this point, all their previous plans had been disrupted.
Before Shi Man arranged this mission for Sean, she specially instructed him to collect all the communication equipment of the members of Immaculate. She told them to stay in the base and not leave easily without being able to contact the outside world.
Therefore, even Shi Man’s engagement today should have been hidden flawlessly in front of the people of Immaculate.
Not only did the person know where she would be getting engaged today, but he also knew Sean’s movements like the back of his hand. What was even more terrifying was that he had interacted with Zheng Xin.
For someone like Zheng Xin, who prided herself on being the female lead and was very high-profile, as long as the other party had ulterior motives, it was easy to trick her to reveal her trump card.
What if Zheng Xin stupidly exposed the fact that she had transmigrated…
Shi Man frowned fiercely and subconsciously clenched the armrest with her right hand.
Yi Zheng kept staring at her, not missing the panic that flashed across her face.
What on earth could make her show such panic?
Yi Zheng pursed his thin lips and said carefully, “Are you thinking about the deal between the mole and Zheng Xin?”
Shi Man was slightly stunned. She nodded hesitantly and said, “Yes, I’m thinking that if I’m the mastermind, I definitely won’t just use Zheng Xin to attack one person. There must be another conspiracy behind it.”
Yi Zheng raised his eyebrows unhappily. From Shi Man’s hesitant expression, he could tell that this was not what Shi Man was thinking about.
However, he did not have any intention of making her say it clearly. After ail, he would slowly find out the truth. At that time, it did not matter even if she was still unwilling to speak to him. It was enough as long as she stayed by his side obediently.
He quickly shook off the displeasure in his mind and regained his composure. “If I were him, this would be an excellent opportunity to find someone to take the blame. He can take this opportunity to use Zheng Xin to the end and protect Jun Mo.”
Shi Man knocked on the armrest of the sofa out of habit. Suddenly, she smiled and said, “However, he probably didn’t expect that we would leave Jun Mo’s empty pistol at the event location where Cheng Zhen was shot. At that time, regardless of whether Cheng Zhen woke up or not, the police’s attention will be shifted to Jun Mo. Then there’s no need for him to use Zheng Xin to clear Jun Mo’s suspicion.”
“He will also completely offend Zheng Xin because of this.” Yi Zheng slowly curled his lips. “Now, Zheng Xin is the only person who can give us clues about that person. If Zheng Xin is provoked and is willing to tell the truth, that person won’t be able to sit still.”
Shi Man suddenly turned her head to look at him. Their gazes met in the air and they saw an affirmative answer in each other’s eyes. “I hid the five catties of drugs that Sean found inside Immaculate last time and haven’t had the time to destroy them.”
The next day, the narcotics team searched Zheng Xin’s bedroom as usual. They thought that they wouldn’t find anything, but they actually found five catties of drugs under her bed.
Chief Zheng was so shocked that he almost lost his balance. He pounced in front of the bag containing the drugs in disbelief and his vision darkened.
As the chief of police, his daughter actually hid such a large amount of drugs at home, but he didn’t notice it at all. He had simply failed as a father! He was sorry for the police uniform he was wearing!
The narcotics police who had plundered the drugs were also shocked. They hurriedly held the old chief and helped him sit down on a chair to rest. They comforted him indifferently.
Director Zheng endured the dizziness in front of him and waved his hand. “Don’t worry about me. Take these things back to the police station and interrogate Zheng Xin immediately!”
At this moment, the police station was in a mess.
Drug trafficking by the chief’s daughter was a huge case. Everyone came and went with serious expressions. They gathered evidence, wanting to find the source of this batch of drugs as soon as possible.
Unfortunately, before they could find out anything, the police station received another call.. Someone had actually picked up a discarded pistol in the old city!
