The air in the room was still. Pei Qingcheng was sitting calmly on a corner of the sofa.

She was looking forward to the scene of Ye Juan ripping Shen Tiaotiao apart with his bare hands.

She wanted to see Shen Tiaotiao's pale face in front of Ye Juan.

Shen Tiaotiao soon arrived, closing the door behind her as she walked towards them, "Brother, Qingcheng."

Ye Juan didn't say anything. He raised his chin and indicated Shen Tiaotiao to look at the cheongsam on the tea table.

Shen Tiaotiao picked up the qipao and examined it carefully. "The cut is neat and tidy. It seems that someone has tampered with the clothes."

Someone? What do you mean?

Pei Qingcheng narrowed her eyes as she looked at Shen Tiaotiao's calm expression.

Wasn't that person her?

Pei Qingcheng sneered. She wanted to see what she would do next.

"How many people got their hands on this set of clothes yesterday?" Ye Juan spoke with a calm tone. He did not have any intention of interrogating him.

"I chose it myself and then personally packed it into a box for Du He. No one else would have touched it." Shen Tiaotiao pondered.

"Qing Qing, do you remember who else touched this dress yesterday?" Ye Juan turned around and looked at her.

Why did he ask about her?

Wasn't it supposed to be questioning Shen Tiaotiao?

"Secretary Huang gave me the clothes, but I don't doubt her." Pei Qingcheng said coldly.

A person always has a motive for doing something, Secretary Huang would never do such a thing.

Wasn't it obvious? Why ask her?

Pei Qingcheng lowered her head and rubbed the lace on her silk dress, keeping silent.

She heard Ye Juan calling Ding Hann, and it sounded like Ding Hann was being checked on the other end.

What was there to investigate? The suspect was right in front of him, but Ye Juan seemed to want to shield him.

That's right, Shen Tiaotiao didn't embarrass her just now, and she even helped her.

Now Pei Qingcheng thought it through, the reason she helped her was to show it to Ye Juan.

This was called stabbing with a knife again to save her. What a brilliant strategy.

Pei Qingcheng leaned back on the sofa, a disdainful smile on her face.

It looks like everyone's starting point in this game wasn't fair.

Ye Juan finally finished his call, hung up and threw the phone to the side.

Pei Qingcheng met his gaze and wanted to hear what he had to say.

Ye Juan's eyes were unfathomable.

He looked at Pei Qingcheng for a moment, as if he was hesitating and hesitating about something.

What else could cause Ye Juan to be troubled?

Just as Pei Qingcheng was about to ask, Ye Juan opened his mouth and said, "Yesterday, about two o'clock in the afternoon, Tang Kexin went to Pei's?"

Pei Qingcheng was shocked and suddenly remembered what he had said.

However, she immediately stood up and retorted as if she had been stepped on. "Don't tell me you did it on purpose!"

"Qing Qing, don't be agitated." Ye Juan said slowly.

"Chairman Ye, I'm not excited." Pei Qingcheng quickly adjusted her mood. In front of these two men who were extremely calm and steady, if Pei Qingcheng seemed anxious and restless, then she would lose.

He had to be as calm as Shen Tiaotiao before he could successfully push the blame onto an unrelated person.

Pei Qingcheng sneered and sat down again. "That's right. Yesterday, I came to the company, but I didn't touch any clothes."

"Are you sure?" Shen Tiaotiao looked into Pei Qingcheng's eyes, "Qingcheng, think about it carefully."

Unexpectedly, Shen Tiaotiao's gaze was so magnanimous, as if the matter had nothing to do with her.

Therefore, even though Pei Qingcheng's mind was running quickly over the scene of her returning to her office after her meeting yesterday and finding out that the clothes box on the tea table had been placed on her desk, she immediately blocked it.

"No, but my heart hasn't touched my clothes."

"She reached Pei's at 2: 20 PM and left at 2: 40, whereas you met at 2: 20 PM. Tang Kexin should be staying alone in your office for the next 20 minutes, right?" Ye Juan actually understood it so well. He even knew when Tang Kexin would come and when she would leave.

The suspect was right in front of him, but he pushed the blame onto Tang Kexin.

Pei Qingcheng's heart felt like it was blocked by a ball of cotton, unable to breathe.

"Tang Kexin is my friend. I don't doubt her, nor do I doubt my secretary. I think there's a problem with the clothes since they were delivered here, but …" Pei Qingcheng changed the topic of the conversation. Her gaze swept across Shen Tiaotiao's face slowly, "Anyway, the matter has already passed. I don't intend to pursue it."

"Qingcheng, there's something fishy going on. It's best for us to investigate this thoroughly." Shen Tiaotiao said.

That was probably how the bandits shouted to catch the thief!

Pei Qingcheng looked coldly at Shen Tiaotiao's beautiful face. She had disguised herself so well, it was impossible to tell that she was nervous or panicked.

"There's no need to check, I admit it." Pei Qingcheng stood up from the sofa and used her hands to pull at her clothes. "I hope this item will not crack in public."

Saying that, he walked towards the door.

"Inclined." Ye Juan called out to her, "Tang Kexin is not worth getting to know well."

Anger finally started to rise in his heart bit by bit. If he did not desperately push down his chest, then the anger would have burst out from his chest.

Obviously, there was something wrong with the clothes that Shen Tiaotiao gave to Pei Qingcheng. Ye Juan didn't question her at all, not even a harsh word.

He didn't doubt Shen Tiaotiao's intentions in the slightest. Instead, he suspected Tang Kexin.

It wasn't a suspicion, it was confirmation that Tang Kexin had done it!

Did she look so stupid?

Even her best friend who she grew up with would harm her?

Pei Qingcheng turned around with a cold glint in her eyes, "Chairman Ye likes to control my life, but I'm not a puppet."

After saying this, his fingers turned cold.

She no longer had any relatives by her side, was Ye Juan trying to pull her last friend away as well?

After that, he was her savior. When she was abandoned by the whole world, she could only go and find him?

He placed his hand on the door handle and forcefully pulled it open.

However, a hand pressed down the door she pulled open. Ye Juan said in a suppressed and deep voice, "Long distance, you go out first."

"Yes." Shen Tiaotiao walked to the door, gently opened it and walked out.

Her facial expression remained open.

Had he put on too much act, and the act had already blended into her life?

Pei Qingcheng leaned her back against the door. Ye Juan pressed one hand against the door and the other wrapped around her. "It's actually very easy to know the truth."

Pei Qingcheng struggled with all her might. At this moment, Ye Juan's embrace made her feel uncomfortable all over, especially after he unreasonably leaned towards Shen Tiaotiao.

"The truth is in my heart." Pei Qingcheng struggled a few times. Since she hadn't eaten dinner and didn't have the strength to struggle free, she had no choice but to give up.

"The truth needs to be found and analysed." Ye Juan's eyes were like a whirlpool in the ocean, pulling her towards the most dangerous place in the world: "On December 16th, you called Tang Kexin, hoping that she could help you with your mother's medical expenses, but Tang Kexin preempted and told you she was in London."

Pei Qingcheng thought carefully. December 16th, was the first day of her Zhuang Sheng's Dream, and was the day she agreed to stay by Ye Juan's side when she had nowhere to go.

She looked down at her toes. Ye Juan was right, Tang Kexin was not in Mo City, could there be a problem?

"On December 15th, Tang Kexin was still at the Mo City, and on the 16th, she arrived in London. On the 17th, she returned to Mo City in the evening? From the Mo City to London, we will fly for at least sixteen hours. "

"What are you trying to say?" Pei Qingcheng raised her head and looked into Ye Juan's eyes. She didn't know what Ye Juan meant by telling her so many dates.

"The Customs does not have any information on Tang Kexin's entry and exit on December 16th, and she has not left the Mo City for the past three months."

Looking at Ye Juan's dark eyes, Pei Qingcheng suddenly felt a little dizzy.

She closed her eyes and thought hard.

So, when she called Tang Kexin, she was not in London, but in Mo City?

Why did she say that?

In the time it took for a spark to fly off a piece of flint, Pei Qingcheng seemed to have understood something.

What Ye Juan meant was that Tang Kexin did this because she didn't want to help her, so she came up with such an excuse.

It was because Tang Kexin said that her grandmother was sick. At that time, how could Pei Qingcheng ask her to borrow money?

Is that right?

No, no.

The Tang family was rich and powerful. Tang Kexin's monthly allowance was already impressive. Furthermore, she had a position as the general manager of the Tang group. Although she didn't have to go to work, her monthly salary was high.

Besides, they were good friends, good enough to share secrets.

When she ran away from home on the day of her wedding with Ye Juan, it was Tang Kexin who took her in and put her in one of her private villas for a long time.

Therefore, Ye Juan's hypothesis wasn't correct.

"No." Pei Qingcheng was somewhat confused, but she still shook her head resolutely. "Don't provoke the relationship between me and Tang Kexin."

"Weren't you with Tang Kexin just now? Something's wrong with your clothes. Where did she go? "

Only then did Pei Qingcheng remember that she had asked Tang Kexin to get her coat for her, but she was never coming back.

Perhaps, she just couldn't find the housekeeper. The customers were as numerous as the clouds tonight, and the butler would be so busy that his feet wouldn't even touch the ground.

However, Pei Qingcheng's voice lacked the confidence she had a moment ago and said, "I'll get Kexin to help me get Housekeeper Hu's coat."

"It's very simple, just ask Housekeeper Hu."

Ye Juan finally let go of Pei Qingcheng and pushed her into the chair.

Pei Qingcheng's head buzzed as if she was in a courtyard filled with weeds. The wind made her even more confused.

Ye Juan is instructing the servant to go find Housekeeper Hu to come up. Pei Qingcheng is sitting in a chair waiting.

Soon, Housekeeper Hu came. He didn't know what had happened and looked at the two of them in fear, "Young Master, Young Mistress, what's the matter?"

Pei Qingcheng licked her lips and tried her best to speak, "Miss Tang Kexin, do you know who it is?"

"Miss Tang, the Tang Group's daughter!" Housekeeper Hu said, "Of course I know. She came with her brother, Mr. Tang Kefeng."

"Yes." Pei Qingcheng nodded, her palms slowly sweating. She was very nervous, afraid that she would hear something that she couldn't analyze, so she took a deep breath and asked, "Miss Tang Kexin, did you ask me to give my coat to you tonight?"

Housekeeper Hu immediately shook his head: "No." He answered without thinking.

"Are you sure?" Pei Qingcheng stood up and asked.

"Sure, I also met Miss Tang. She asked me where the washroom is, and I pointed it out to her. She even thanked me."

In other words, Tang Kexin saw Housekeeper Hu but didn't mention anything about her coat?

Feeling dizzy, Pei Qingcheng supported herself on the back of the sofa, her nails digging deep into the glossy skin of the leather sofa.

She still had a sliver of hope in her heart. "Maybe she doesn't know who you are?"
