Pei Huai’s hand froze.

Shen Mu observed his expression, “boss, don’t worry. I’ll find out what’s going on.”

In just a few minutes, Shen Mu found out that Su Cunyi had gone to the Four Seasons Hotel with his wife and daughter that night.

When Pei Huai heard that Su Cunyi, Ning Lihua, and Su Ji had gone to the hotel together, he frowned, “where is Su Ji now?”

“Ms. Su is fine. The one who was sent to Mr. Yu’s bed was Ning Lihua. Su Cunyi is now in the police’s custody.”

Upon hearing this, Pei Huai’s expression relaxed. He even smiled.

Ning Lihua was sent to Mr. Yu?

His girlfriend was full of surprises

“Let’s go and take a look,” Pei Huai put down the documents in his hand.

“Are you going to the police station to see Mr Su?” Shen Mu asked.

“To the Four Seasons Hotel,” Pei Huai glanced at him.

To help his girlfriend clean up the mess…

**

40 minutes later, the police and Xu Mingzhi arrived at the Four Seasons Hotel.

In the surveillance room, the head of security opened all the original video files of the night on all floors and checked them one by one, “officer, unfortunately, the camera on that floor had a problem and was just fixed. It didn’t record anything during that time…”

The officer asked, “only those few hours weren’t recorded? What a coincidence!”

Xu Mingzhi remembered that they had seen a suspicious man in a suit in the corridor on their way to the surveillance room.

He didn’t wear a uniform. Instead, he was wearing a formal suit. From the back, he didn’t look like an ordinary person.

Xu Mingzhi didn’t say a word and left.

The man was still there.

Xu Mingzhi followed him.

She followed him all the way to a suite.

Who knew that as soon as Xu Mingzhi entered, Shen Mu would appear out of nowhere and close the door from the outside.

In the room, Pei Huai was sitting on the sofa. He pointed to the seat opposite him, “Mr. Yu, let’s have a chat.”

Xu Mingzhi snorted and sat down. She looked up at him, “you’re so calm after doing this in front of the police. Sure, we can talk, but tell me your name first.”

Pei Huai had a thousand ways to introduce himself, but when he looked at Xu Mingzhi and saw that her face looked familiar…

Pei Huai smiled and introduced himself, “I’m your daughter’s…boyfriend.”

Xu Mingzhi’s eyes widened.

He was Su Ji’s boyfriend?

She carefully sized up Pei Huai for a moment. He was handsome and had an extraordinary style.

However, she remembered that Su Ji was not her real daughter, and the light in her eyes dimmed again, “you know who I am?”

“Only after you came in,” Pei Huai said politely.

“Then you did this for…”

“for your daughter.” Pei Huai smiled.

He took out the video that he had just copied and showed it to Xu Mingzhi.

A slim girl had carried Ning Lihua on her shoulder all the way from the stairs to her room.

When the girl came out of her room, she was alone. She glanced at the camera.

This glance caused Xu Mingzhi’s expression to change drastically, “Su Ji? She was the one who carried Ning Lihua to my room?”

“If she wasn’t so smart, I’m afraid she would be the one in your room now…” Pei Huai said.

Xu Mingzhi instantly understood.

However, she still found it strange.

Even though she had only seen Su Ji a few times, she knew that she was very submissive.

She definitely didn’t have the brains and courage to do so.

When she came back a few years ago, Su Ji wanted to peel an apple for her, but she did not even know how to use a fruit knife. It made her feel bad and distressed.

The Su Ji in this video was quite similar to the one she had seen at the press conference.

She was carefree, intelligent, and courageous.

Pei Huai sat opposite her, his probing eyes capturing every expression on Xu Mingzhi’s face.

Xu Mingzhi was undoubtedly Su Ji’s biological mother, judging from her appearance and personality.

Pei Huai still remembered Su Ji’s reaction when he mentioned Xu Mingzhi to her that day.

However, now that he saw Xu Mingzhi in person, Pei Huai was a little confused as to why Su Ji had cried.

Su Ji felt shocked and extremely sad at the mention of her mother.

If her mother had been living a miserable life or had died of a serious illness, Pei Huai would have understood.

But Xu Mingzhi’s behavior was also odd.

She wasn’t completely cold, but she wasn’t emotional either.

When she saw Su Ji, the light in her eyes was real, but she had to hide those feelings and deliberately distance herself from it.

Based on Xu Mingzhi’s actions, she was definitely not a person who would let herself be wronged.

Suddenly, Xu Mingzhi received a call from Wei Wei and Pei Huai began to understand…

Xu Mingzhi restrained her emotions and said calmly, “what’s going on over there? Ha, let Su Cunyi stay at the police station for the night. This happened so quickly, so I’ll leave the work to you. What? The great Shang Dynasty’s exhibition has ended?”

Pei Huai narrowed his eyes.

The great Shang Dynasty again…

Even when she heard that Su Ji almost got into trouble, Xu Mingzhi did not sound so shocked.

It was as if visiting a museum was her real purpose for this trip.

Pei Huai didn’t want to expose Su Ji, but he also didn’t want her to be sad.

Ever since he met Su Ji, he started to believe in his intuition.

Xu Mingzhi hung up the phone and got up to leave.

Since the person who sent Ning Lihua to her room was Su Ji, she would not pursue the matter any further.

As long as Su Ji was not involved, Pei Huai had nothing to talk to her about.

However, Pei Huai called out to her, “Ms. Xu.”

He supported his forehead with his hand, his eyes distant, “you didn’t question me at all when I said I’m your daughter’s boyfriend. Don’t you care who your daughter is dating?”

With her back facing Pei Huai, Xu Mingzhi said in a cold tone, “Su Cunyi has custody of her, I don’t have to worry about who she’s dating.”

Seeing that Pei Huai was so considerate of her, it’s not so bad that Su Ji was with him.

Pei Huai smiled, “your daughter’s hobbies are very similar to yours. She’s been to the exhibition you mentioned just now.”

“What?” Xu Mingzhi suddenly turned around, “she’s been there too?”

“Your daughter is amazing. You shouldn’t ignore her like this. You should try to understand her more.”

Pei Huai emphasized the word “more”.

“She’s good at dancing, singing, and acting…”

“I know,” Xu Mingzhi said with a conflicted expression. However, Su Ji’s visit to the museum was probably just a coincidence. After all, many people had been there.

“And her…her medical skills are also very good,” Pei Huai continued.

“What?” Xu Mingzhi was once again shocked, “she also knows medicine?”

Pei Huai smiled mysteriously, “she even knows the ancient script style…the Huajin style.”

Xu Ming’s body stiffened, and there was a crack on her usually calm expression.
