The person who wanted to confirm Xia Zhen's identity was not from the Song family.
The Song family has probably long forgotten that they once had a young daughter and granddaughter who were lost. In their hearts, that bloodline is probably dead.
The person secretly investigating was Xia Zhen's uncle, who seemed genuinely interested in acknowledging the young girl, who appeared to be his niece, as a relative.
But don't misunderstand, this doesn't mean that the other party is a kind uncle who cares about little Xia Zhen. On the contrary, through Xia Zhiyi's subsequent investigation, he suspected that the reason the other party was targeting Xia Zhen was probably to try and salvage some more benefits from the ruins of the Song family.
For example, he could have Xia Zhen acknowledge her ancestry and use her identity to legitimately inherit the Song family's assets and debts. Then, he could use Xia Zhen to obtain money and leave the debts to her.
Xia Zhiyi made this deduction because he discovered that the man's web browsing history was full of related information.
Xia Zhiyi: "..."
Well, the other party might have initially just been thinking of giving it a try, hoping to strike it lucky?
Unexpectedly, his wild idea led him to stumble upon something unexpected.
I don't know what to say for a moment.
Xia Zhiyi turned around and checked the information of that third-rate detective again. After confirming that the other party was not the kind of evil person who had lost all humanity and whose mind was only money, she made a phone call directly.
"Hello?" Inside the room, a detective who was watching the surveillance footage and chatting with a friend answered the phone without thinking.
"Hi, I'm sorry to interrupt your chat with your friend at this time, but could you please stop investigating my sister and my younger sister? If you don't stop, I'll have to consider calling the police for invasion of privacy."
"..."
Click, the call was abruptly disconnected.
Xia Zhiyi raised an eyebrow, thought for a moment, and then, too lazy to be polite any longer, dialed the number again. The other party didn't even need to answer; the call was automatically connected after two rings, and the speakerphone was automatically turned on for him.
Good afternoon, Mr. Wan. Could you please answer my question first?
"I've looked into your past, and I don't think you're the kind of person who's only interested in money, which is why I thought I'd call you first to discuss it."
"If you don't agree to terminate this case, I'm sorry, although I know you're not a bad person, I have no choice but to send you in to ensure my family's life isn't affected."
After being frightened into hanging up the phone, Wan Mingming felt a little regretful and guilty.
He'd encountered situations where people came to his door directly, even physically breaking into his home. However, when he decided to become a private investigator, he knew he might have to run for his life someday, so he developed his escape skills early on, making sure to run away as soon as he sensed something was wrong.
So, Wan Mingming was a little flustered about the person coming to his door, but since it was just a phone call, he shouldn't be too afraid.
But inexplicably, when he heard a faint hint of laughter in the other person's voice over the phone, Wan Mingming's intuition—that always made him escape at the last second—went on high alert in his mind.
Then Wan Mingming's hand trembled, and he hung up the phone.
Before Wan Mingming could even decide what to do next, his phone went out of his control.
God knows, as Wan Mingming watched helplessly as her phone answered a call and turned on speakerphone by itself, the first thought that popped into her mind was: Sure enough, the movies were right, if robots become too advanced, humanity will definitely go extinct.
Don't ask him why he thought of this at this time. The answer is that Wan Mingming was so frightened that his mind went blank, his thinking stopped, and so his thoughts became nonsensical.
When Wan Mingming came to his senses and realized what the person on the phone had said, cold sweat broke out on his back. "You... you're Teacher Xia Zhiyi?"
That's hilarious! He accepted the commission to investigate Xia Wanyi and Xia Zhen, how could he not know about the existence of another person in their family?
To put it bluntly, when Wan Mingming first discovered the existence of Xia Zhiyi Zhiyi's brother/brother, he wanted to withdraw from the commission.
Le, he's just a weakling who's barely maxed out his agility, how dare he go up against someone whose fighting ability is obviously abnormal!
But, but!
He doesn't have the money to pay the penalty for breach of contract!
He has no money! He can't even cancel the commission!
In addition, Wan Mingming believed from his employer's explanation that the little girl might be his long-lost niece. Since the commission was essentially a family tracing commission, and he wasn't doing anything wrong, he figured he wouldn't get beaten up even if he was discovered. So he gritted his teeth and continued.
But Wan Mingming never expected that he had only been working on this for a few days. Just the day before yesterday, he had complained to his friends that if the client found out about this case, he might be in serious trouble. Today, he was caught.
And he wasn't caught offline; the other party called him directly, and it seemed... it seemed they possessed some skills that he didn't really want to know about.
Wan Mingming felt his legs start to shake.
Xia Zhiyi: "Hmm? You can just call me by my name, you don't need to call me teacher."
Xia Zhiyi: "After all, I remember I didn't take a third-rate detective like you as my apprentice."
As she spoke, Xia Zhiyi chuckled and said in a gentle tone, "Ah, although I think the so-called third-rate detectives in China are actually not as smart as some Ordinary Person, your performance is still better than others, so your third-rate status is quite reliable."
It means that all the other detectives who claim to be third-rate are complete trash.
He's just an unemployed bum posing as a detective.
Wan Mingming: "..."
It's so sharp and piercing.
Even over the phone, I could feel something piercing my chest.
it hurts.
He instinctively clutched his chest, muttering, "You... you seem quite different from the person in the investigation."
Xia Zhiyi: "Oh, really?"
Xia Zhiyi: "I'm sorry, although I know you're not a bad person in the broad sense, the thought of you hiding in the shadows, secretly watching my dear sister and younger sister with a strange look, just makes it impossible for me to stay in a good mood."
"You understand, Mr. Wan, right?"
Tears welled in Wan Mingming's eyes as she nodded with difficulty, "I understand, I get it."
So could you please stop using that gentle, lover-like tone when you say these things?
It made his scalp tingle and the hairs on his body stand on end!
Xia Zhiyi: "So, Mr. Wan, what is your reply?"
Wan Mingming covered his face. "I'm sorry, I will end this commission. I will stay away from the vicinity of the two ladies, and I will never go near your important family members again!"
That's terrifying!
Is this the intimidating power of a top-tier hacker?
