Since the live broadcast of "King of the Desert Island," the news of Shi Lili from the Shi family murdering Ruan Fuxi from the Ruan family had spread throughout the circle.
Shi Wei usually didn't pay attention to these variety shows, but the incident had escalated to a point where he couldn't help but hear about it. He was not only shocked by Shi Lili's audacity—how could that obedient little sister, who had always been so well-behaved in front of him, dare to commit murder?—but also felt ashamed of her actions.
Especially considering that not long ago, Ruan Fuxi had given a fortune-telling that allowed their grandfather to receive timely medical checks at the hospital. In that sense, she had done a favor for the Shi family. Yet, Shi Lili chose to provoke Ruan Fuxi and did so in such a thorough manner.
More importantly, seeing how much Sheng Yanzhou cared for Ruan Fuxi during the show, Shi Wei knew that offending Ruan Fuxi was equivalent to offending him as well. The Shi family was now in deep trouble.
With a sigh, Shi Wei turned and left. He needed to intercept this news before it reached his father; his father had not yet recovered and couldn't handle any shocks. Shi Wei knew his father treated Shi Lili like a biological daughter. If he found out she was about to be arrested and imprisoned, it would be hard for him to accept.
As for clearing Shi Lili of the charge of intentional murder, he wouldn't do it. Shi Wei was well aware that both the Ruan family and Sheng Yanzhou were determined to send Shi Lili away; even if he tried to intervene, it would be futile with Sheng Yanzhou involved. Moreover, this troublemaking cousin wasn't worth the Shi family's efforts.
However, out of past affection, he would arrange some funds for her after she was sentenced. For now, he needed to think about how to explain that Shi Lili's actions had nothing to do with the Shi family.
Meanwhile, on the other side of Jing City, Su Shi looked at the investigation report in his hands. It clearly stated what his girlfriend had done after entering the country and what information she had transmitted.
Fortunately, he had managed this aspect well and hadn't leaked any sensitive information. It was also fortunate that he had asked Ruan Fuxi for a fortune-telling that night; otherwise, he would have been implicated sooner or later. After all, this spy identity belonged to his girlfriend.
Luckily, they discovered it in time, and she had already been taken in for questioning. Now, he needed to write a report detailing everything that had happened. In his report, as he described how he discovered his girlfriend was a spy, he truthfully included the fortune-telling Ruan Fuxi had given him.
He confirmed that Ruan Fuxi was not involved with the spy and included her in the report to let higher-ups know that their timely discovery of the spy was thanks to Ruan Fuxi's efforts.
After organizing the relevant materials, Su Shi picked up another document and began to frown. It detailed several traffic incidents that had occurred at the South Gate market over the past week. In total, six or seven people had died, which could not be ignored.
Upon investigation, it was found that the drivers involved were all operating their vehicles normally; it remained unclear why the accidents had occurred. If there had been just one or two incidents, it might have been dismissed, but the number of occurrences was concerning.
Local residents murmured that something sinister was at play, attributing the accidents to the presence of "dirty things" in the area. Now, this case had been assigned to Su Shi.
He had already conducted an initial investigation, and on the surface, it appeared to be merely a series of unfortunate accidents. However, with so many similar incidents, Su Shi couldn't help but think deeper. Moreover, one of the victims in these traffic accidents was a person of considerable status.
In addition to providing a thorough explanation to the authorities and the public, how could he ensure that such accidents would not happen again? Su Shi first implemented traffic control measures at the market entrance, but they proved to be nearly ineffective.
