Chapter 458: Dead Man’s Account
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
A single-story house was surrounded in the warehouse at the east docks. When the patrolling people saw their people return, they hurriedly raised the railing to let them go, but who knew that it was not their people who got out of the car?
The patrolling people immediately became vigilant and reported the abnormality at the door to Zhu Wen, who was in the office.
Shi Man and the others waited quietly in the car until a group of people rushed over from the door.
After seeing the person in the lead, Tang Zhe opened the car door and walked to Zhu Wen’s side to say something softly. Zhu Wen’s anxious expression instantly became strange.
He seemed to be a little hesitant, but in the end, he walked to the car hesitantly and scratched his head with a shy smile. “Manman is here? It’s my fault for letting you come to such a dirty place personally.”
The atmosphere in the car suddenly became oppressive, but a certain someone got out of the car first and looked coldly at the man standing by the car. “I have something to tell you. Are you planning to stand here and talk?”
Zhu Wen looked at Yi Zheng with inexplicable fear.
The current him was no longer a boy who could rely on his brother and do whatever he wanted. He had to bear the burden of survival of countless brothers now, so he could not be willful at all.
When facing Yi Zheng, he always subconsciously wanted to escape. He felt that he was far inferior to Yi Zheng.
Zhu Wen lowered his hand and nodded timidly. “Alright, let’s go in and talk.”
He turned to the side to make way, but there was no more movement in the car.
Zhu Wen hesitated for a moment before asking tentatively, “Isn’t Manman coming?”
Yi Zheng glanced at the car and opened the door with a tense expression. The moment the girl came out of the car, he held her hand tightly and pulled her to his side as if declaring his sovereignty. “Let’s go in together.”
Zhu Wen looked at their tightly held hands and his eyes darkened. “Please come in.”
Now, the half of the Nighthawk led by Zhu Wen was no longer as imposing as before. Even Zhu Wen’s office was not as good as Zhu Meng’s.
At that time, that fierce battle had erupted in the Nighthawk’s own territory. The Nighthawk had suffered heavy losses and its vitality had been greatly damaged. In addition, Zhu Wen was not good at business, causing the Nighthawk to deteriorate.
If not for the fact that he realized that he still had the means to go out to sea to do business, he would have really faced dissolution.
There was a faint fishy smell in the office. The corner of the wall was filled with all kinds of junk. Only a desk in the middle has the appearance of an office. Otherwise, this place would look more like an abandoned warehouse.

Fortunately, Shi Man and the others were not here for tea. She asked Sean to bring the two people in the truck over and briefly explained the situation tonight.
Zhu Wen was stunned when he heard this. He hurriedly waved his hand and explained, “Someone really ordered a car of frozen goods in advance tonight and specifically asked for the handover there, so I asked my subordinates to go. 1 really don’t know anything else!”
“Who placed the order?” Shi Man asked without missing a detail.
Zhu Wen wanted to say that this was actually internal information that could not be made public, but looking at Shi Man’s current posture, even if he didn’t want to say it, she would probably use other methods to make him speak.
Instead of making himself even more embarrassed, it was better for him to cooperate now and do her a favor.
After weighing the pros and cons, Zhu Wen quickly found his account book from the table and flipped to the latest overnight page. He pointed at the last message and said, “It’s this person. I’ve noted down the phone number and client information. He even gave me a large deposit and said that he would immediately make up the balance after the goods arrived.”
Shi Man dialed back according to the phone above. As expected, it was an empty number.
She narrowed her eyes and put down her phone. Her face was suddenly covered in a layer of frost. “How did he give you the deposit?”
“It was done through my bank card.” Zhu Wen looked at her in confusion, but he did not wait for her reaction. Only then did he come to a realization and say, “Oh.” Then, he hurriedly took out his bank card from his wallet. “This is it.”
Shi Man quickly hacked into the bank client and investigated the remittance records.
Zhu Wen was stunned by her actions. Just as he was about to sigh that she actually had such superb skills, he met Yi Zheng’s cold gaze and subconsciously shut his mouth.
“The person who opened the bank account is…” Shi Man quickly found the name on the form. When she saw the name on it, her eyes widened in disbelief.” Zhu Meng?”
“How is this possible?” Zhu Wen jumped up from the chair excitedly. His flustered eyes were filled with pain, as if he had instantly returned to the night his brother was shot to death. His pupils trembled violently.
Of course, Shi Man knew how Zhu Meng died. She clenched her fists tightly and suppressed her anger at being played.. She asked coldly, “How much do you know about that Cheng Zhen?”
