Chapter 1 Qingzi's Discovery

Qingzi took Wu Peng's phone and went into the women's restroom. After closing the door, her heart was still pounding. After calming down for a few seconds, she held the phone at an angle to the light and, using the fingerprint trails on the screen, tried a few times and unlocked Wu Peng's phone.

With a mix of nervousness and excitement at invading someone's privacy, Qingzi opened his WeChat. The first pinned contact was Jia Wenjun.

As she was opening and checking each message, Wu Peng's phone suddenly made a sound, and a WeChat message came in from Jia Wenjun.

The notification sound was a very unique "gua gua" sound, unique in the entire office, and very loud. Qingzi, feeling guilty, quickly covered the speaker and, after making sure no one was around, quickly swiped her finger to mute the phone.

After doing all this, Qingzi realized she had broken out in a cold sweat.

What frustrated her even more was that Jia Wenjun had sent a new message, but because she had the conversation box with Jia Wenjun open, there was no little red dot for a new message, and it immediately showed as "read."

She knew that if Wu Peng was careful, he would likely realize that his phone had been touched, but there was nothing she could do at this point. Since things had already come to this, she would just take a picture of this new message as well. Anyway, no one saw her take Wu Peng's phone, and even if someone suspected her, she would deny it to the death. There were no cameras in the office, and Wu Peng couldn't do anything to her.

Time was of the essence. She quickly opened the message sent by Jia Wenjun and found that it said: "Lin Yang has taken the bait. I will get her to force Lin Yang to sign the divorce agreement as soon as possible, and at the same time collect evidence of his cheating, which has been sent to your phone. See if it is legally valid."

Attached were five pictures.

Although Qingzi didn't know the background of the matter, seeing the words "taken the bait," she knew this was trouble in the making. This was practically information delivered right to her door. Qingzi excitedly took pictures of every page of Jia Wenjun's chat history with her own phone, until she reached the part where they were discussing that she had already told Bai Ma Shan, and then she stopped.

Hearing that no one was outside, she took Wu Peng's phone out of the restroom, not forgetting to restore the volume on the way out.

She grabbed an unimportant document and walked to Wu Peng's workstation. He was still asleep, and no one else had noticed her. She was tiptoeing to put his phone back on the desk when it suddenly rang.

Because the sound was too loud, Wu Peng, who was sleeping soundly on the desk, twitched his arm and immediately sat up, his eyes still blurry with sleep.

Qingzi didn't expect to be so unlucky. Her face turned pale, and she was instantly frightened. She had originally wanted to pretend that she hadn't touched Wu Peng's phone, but that was obviously impossible now, so she had to settle for second best.

She released her hand, and the phone slipped, falling onto the carpet. Her acting was good, and she pretended to be surprised and accidental, saying to Wu Peng, who had just woken up, "You're awake? Sorry, I didn't notice and knocked your phone off when I was putting the file down."

As she spoke, she apologetically picked up the phone and handed it to him.

Still half-asleep, Wu Peng didn't see her previous actions. Seeing the file she had placed on his desk, he didn't suspect anything.

Qingzi urged, "Hurry up and answer it, it sounds like a client."

"Oh." Wu Peng reached out and took his phone from her hand, pressing the answer button.

Seeing that he didn't suspect anything, Qingzi carefully turned around and returned to her seat, her legs feeling weak.

The call was from Jia Wenjun. She had sent the photos earlier, and Wu Peng hadn't replied for a long time, so she called in a hurry.

After listening to Jia Wenjun, Wu Peng said, "I was just asleep. Wait a moment, I'll read them and call you back."

After he finished reading, he called Jia Wenjun back. By the time they finished talking, he was fully awake. As he was taking his cup to the tea room, he suddenly froze. Jia Wenjun had said that she had just sent him the messages, but when he opened those messages, he didn't seem to see the unread red dot.

Wu Peng put the cup under the coffee machine. While waiting for the coffee to brew, he was afraid he had misremembered, so he recalled it again, confirming that he hadn't seen the red dot.

The coffee cup was filled, and he picked it up, turning his gaze to Qingzi, who was sitting at the front desk.

At this moment, Qingzi was buried in sending an email to Bai Ma Shan. She had to quickly monetize the information she had risked her neck to get, so she didn't notice that Wu Peng was frowning and looking at her from afar.

Bai Ma Shan began to calculate as soon as he received the information from Qingzi. Jia Wenjun and Wu Peng were clearly setting a trap for Lin Yang. His mind was sharp, and he quickly pieced together Jia Wenjun's plan against Lin Yang from the limited information.

Bai Ma Shan paced back and forth in the room. Now that he knew this information, he certainly wouldn't let this opportunity pass. The question was how to use someone else to kill without leaving a trace.

The curtains in the room were always drawn. Bai Ma Shan returned to the room, took a stack of cash from the cabinet, came out, and put the money into a new garbage bag. Then he tied the new garbage bag and mixed it with the accumulated kitchen waste, putting it all in a more conspicuous striped garbage bag, and then shouted to Bai Xun in the room, "When you go to the training class later, take this garbage out and throw it in the trash can at the post office gate at exactly two o'clock."

That trash can was the meeting point agreed upon by Bai Ma Shan and Xiao Qing. WeChat transfers were too easy to track, so they could only use this method to pay.

Bai Xun never asked his father why. He would do whatever his father told him to do.

Seeing that his son had agreed, Bai Ma Shan put the prepared backpack on his shoulder and went directly to the pet hospital.

According to the photos given by Xiao Qing, Bai Ma Shan knew that Jia Wenjun and the others were helping Zhao Di maximize her divorce benefits. Lin Yang being trapped was actually a good thing for Bai Ma Shan, because Lin Yang was easy to manipulate. Now that Bai Ma Shan himself was being watched by the police, he could only eliminate Zhao Di through someone else, and no one was more suitable than Lin Yang.

But if he wanted to eliminate Zhao Di, he had to first get Jia Wenjun and Wu Peng, who were guarding her every step of the way, to "leave." Bai Ma Shan pondered slightly, a sinister look flashed in his eyes, and then he strode toward the pet hospital outside the neighborhood.
