Susu said reluctantly, "Why? I haven't been here for many days. If I investigate further, I'm sure I'll find evidence."
"I miss you. Come back." He couldn't rest assured with Susu not by his side. "I'll accompany you to investigate when I have time."
"Honey, when did you become so clingy?" Susu said coquettishly. "Whether there are any clues in that apartment or not, let me stay for a few more days."
Tianyi didn't budge. "We'll talk about it after you can get into the apartment and investigate."
"Okay." After her call with Tianyi, Susu thought about going to the apartment the next day.
...
The next day, she and Daisy walked in through the main entrance of the apartment building brazenly.
The security guard at the entrance asked her a few questions, and she answered them all, even stating the correct apartment number.
So the security guard didn't stop them and let them in directly.
Arriving at the door of the apartment, Susu felt some past memories resurface, but things had changed, and her heart was filled with emotion.
Seeing her standing at the door without moving, Daisy asked, "Susu, did we come to the wrong place?"
"No." Susu placed her right thumb on the fingerprint scanner of the door lock.
The voice function on the lock said, "Master, the door is open."
Susu still couldn't quite believe her fingerprint was still valid, and she froze for a moment.
Daisy saw that they had found the right place and helped her push the door open.
Only then did Susu snap back to reality and walk in. The furnishings inside were unchanged, only covered with white dust cloths.
Daisy reminded her, "Where should we look, and what should we look for?"
Susu stopped herself from getting lost in memories of the past and said, "You search the drawers and cabinets here, and I'll check the safe."
With that, they split up.
Susu quickly found the safe and discovered that its door was open. It was already empty, with nothing inside.
Her spirits plummeted. She noticed a key still inserted in the safe door.
It seemed Sasha didn't know the password for the apartment door or the safe. Instead, as Yang Sijie's heir, she had used proof to open Yang Sijie's bank safe and obtained the access card for the apartment and the key to the safe.
Susu unwillingly reached into the safe, fumbling around, always hoping for a miracle.
But it was empty, just as it was. It seemed Sasha hadn't even closed the door, likely having searched the safe inside and out multiple times, confirming there was nothing left.
Disappointed, Susu walked out of the room with the safe and saw Daisy holding some documents, still rummaging through drawers and cabinets.
"Any gains or discoveries?"
Daisy saw her empty hands and knew she hadn't found anything in the safe. She said, "I found some documents. I don't know if they're useful. Take a look."
She handed all the documents she had found to Susu and continued searching.
Susu read through all the documents Daisy found, but they were of no value, just official business correspondence from Yang Sijie's past dealings.
When Daisy searched the bottom drawer of the desk in the study, she found a notebook with a cowhide cover at the very bottom.
She casually flipped through the notebook, and a folded A4 paper fell out from inside.
Susu recognized the notebook as one Yang Sijie used to record his illicit business dealings.
She had previously taken photos of the records in it and handed them over to the police. She hadn't expected the notebook to still be in its original place.
Daisy picked up the A4 paper that had fallen on the floor and glanced at it. The salutation at the beginning was "Susu," clearly written for her.
Although she didn't know Susu's relationship with the owner of the apartment, she assumed there was a deep connection. She handed the notebook and the A4 paper to Susu, saying, "This is for you."
Susu took them with slightly trembling hands. She first looked at the contents of the notebook, which were no different from before.
Yang Sijie's handwriting was still clear, the names of people involved with him were the same, only this A4 paper was new.
She unfolded the A4 paper and looked at the handwritten text from Yang Sijie.
Daisy tactfully left the study, thinking Susu wouldn't want anyone else around at this moment.
After reading the letter, Susu slumped onto the study chair. It turned out that after injecting her with the drug and making her unconscious, Yang Sijie had written this letter.
He also knew he might not escape legal punishment. He left all his assets to her and also pleaded with her for one thing in the letter.
It was a pity that she only discovered this letter after so long. If it weren't for Sasha, she might never have found this letter.
However, even if she had found this letter earlier, she wouldn't have agreed to his request; it was impossible.
They searched the apartment for a long time and found nothing, so they had to leave and return to the hotel.
Susu said listlessly to Daisy, "It looks like we need to prepare to return to Lancheng."
"Did you not find what you were looking for? Why not keep searching?" Daisy asked.
Susu said helplessly, "I underestimated Yang Sasha. She is very careful in her actions and handles everything cleanly, leaving no trace. Staying here any longer would be a waste of time."
As she was speaking, Tianyi called.
Before Tianyi could ask, she said dejectedly, "Daisy and I have already been to the apartment and found nothing useful. Yang Sasha emptied everything from the safe."
"I knew this would happen," Tianyi said, not surprised.
Susu had thought about it on the way. She still needed to tell Tianyi about the letter. "I found a letter from Yang Sijie from a few years ago there."
"What did it say?" Tianyi asked nervously.
Susu said, "Don't worry, I won't be influenced by this letter. He basically said that if anything happened to him, he would leave all his property to me. Also, he spent a lot of money to freeze his sperm and hoped that after I saw this letter, I would use the authorization documents from the safe to use his frozen... his..."
"Have a child," Tianyi blurted out the words she was too embarrassed to say.
"Yes, that's what it means."
Tianyi was silent for a long time. Susu thought he was angry and quickly explained, "I will absolutely not do such a thing for him. Besides, the safe was empty, and Yang Sasha took all the authorization documents long ago. You can ask Daisy if you don't believe me..."
"I know what's going on," Tianyi suddenly said again. "The child Yang Sasha gave birth to is indeed not Xie Qining's. She deceived the Xie family, deceived that fool Xie Qining."
Susu felt that what he was saying was completely irrelevant to what she had just said. She asked, "What are you talking about? Are you confused from anger?"
"I'm not angry," Tianyi said, having made a major discovery. "The child Yang Sasha gave birth to is not Xie Qining's. She used Yang Sijie's frozen sperm for artificial insemination, using Xie Qining as a cover to conceal the truth."
