    Uncle Sheng shook his head helplessly, “If Young Master really wants to know, it’s best to ask Young Lady directly.”

    Qi Zhi Iu’s eyebrows gently raised, and a touch of imperceptible despondency flashed in his eyes, “She won’t tell me.”

    Uncle Sheng was puzzled and pressed for the reason, “Why is this?”

    Qi Zhi Iu’s gaze returned to the bowl of noodles once again, her eyes complex and inscrutable, “Because she was afraid that once I recognized that smell, I would touch a past she didn’t want to face ……”

    Uncle Sheng sniffed and was momentarily speechless, obviously not understanding the hidden entanglements between this couple, seeing Qi Zhi Yu no longer speaking, he was not in a position to ask more questions.

    “So this bowl of noodles ……”

    “Deal with it.”

    Qi Zhiyu decisively ordered.

    Uncle Sheng quickly withdrew, leaving out of the corner of his eye unintentionally swept over the computer screen, suddenly remembered something, “Young lady’s computer ……”

    “Hmm?”

    Qi Zhiyu’s voice dripped with warning.

    “The surveillance in the study is always on, Young Master.”

    Uncle Sheng reminded in a gentle but meaningful way.

    Uncle Sheng left, leaving only the empty bowl and a room of silence.

    Qi Zhi Iu’s eyes fell on the blinking red dot hidden above the bookshelf, realized something, and then grabbed the tablet beside him and called up the surveillance screen.

    On the screen, it clearly recorded the entire process of him entering the password, “140820…… August 20, 2014, that was a day he could never forget, the day Su Wanqing’s adoptive parents passed away.

    With a sharp tug on his heartstrings, he found the mysterious folder she had browsed through during the day.

    Trying to enter the password on the monitor, I still get a cold “wrong password”.

    Replaying the surveillance video, this time noticing another string of numbers, “160923,” 2016, the year when their relationship had drifted apart and he seemed to have become a passerby in her world.

    The folder finally unlocked, but instead of the secrets he expected, it was full of project documents.

    Page after page, all have nothing to do with the individual, just some regular work information.

    Just as disappointment filled the air and he was ready to give up, the chat window that popped up in the lower right corner of the screen caught his attention.

    Su Wanqing’s chat application was set to boot-up self-start mode, and the conversation she had with Zhou Yaoshi in the restroom during the daytime was unbiasedly synchronized to the computer.

    “Meh, a fan-fantasy combo?”

    Cold emotions churned in the depths of his dark eyes, and with a flick of his finger, he dialed a number, “Help me check all of Zhou Yaoshi’s circumstances.”

    “Also ……”

    His eyes returned once again to the several cooperation agreements displayed on the computer, “By the way, investigate all the details of Misty Wells Studio’s cooperation in the last few years.”

    The call ended and he began to absently scroll through the previous chat.

    In addition to the necessary work communication, that sporadic gossip content is almost all around Zhou Yaoshi alone, and that name Li Yanzhou’s name, in this cold electronic equipment, there is not even a trace.

    “It’s obvious that there’s no silver here!”

    The corners of his mouth hooked into a mocking smile, but his heart was firm, not believing that he could not find any hidden clues under this seemingly calm and unruffled surface.

    As the night faded and the dawn dawned, two empty bottles of wine were already on the table, bearing witness to a sleepless night.

    Checking her mailbox, she couldn’t even hunt for an irrelevant piece of spam except for official emails!

    Just as he was about to close the computer and get up to leave, his hand slipped and he accidentally knocked the wine glass next to him to the ground, and the undried wine instantly splashed and poured all over the computer that had just been restarted.

    The screen happened to turn itself off at that very moment due to a system update.
