"Yea . . . that woman . . . gives off a strange feeling . "
"You've met her?"
"Yeah, I've met her . If it were before, I'd ignore it" But seeing her with Qin Chu again just makes it seem…intentional"•" Su Yu's expression heavied .
"President Su, what should we do?"
"An, I need you to investigate that woman's background . Don't miss anything . "
Yes, Sir . "
Su Yu was a cautious man . He wasn't about to fall for a woman just because she resembled Huo Mian .
Instead, he became suspicious of the whole thing . So, he asked An to investigate .

-Midnight, in the library of the Old Huo Mansion - "Boss, she's here . "
"Let her in . "
Yes, Boss . "
After a short while, Cheng brought Zhang Manlin in .
Without the radiance of daylight, Zhang Manlin looked particularly cold and untouchable .
She was donning a long black coat, her long hair tousled over her shoulders; she looked completely different from Huo Mian .
"Big Brother Qian," at the sight of Huo Siqian, she greeted him respectfully .
"Take a seat, Lin-Lin . "

"Okay . "
"How is it going? Are you tired?" Huo Siqian asked with a smile .
"What are you referring to? Making contact with Qin Chu or taking care of everything else?"
"I guess all of it . "
"I guess it's alright . Qin Chu's difficult to get to know but everyone else has been fine . Oh right, the meeting with Su Yu wasn't as successful as I'd hoped . He wasn't really surprised at the sight of me and he didn't try to get to know me . I think he's a little bit suspicious . "
"I know . I just got the news tonight . Su Yu's men are investigating you . "
"Oh? Is that so? Good thing you've prepared for this . " Zhang Manlin laughed .
Yes, I've made sure that your background is bulletproof . Even if Qin Chu investigated you, he would find nothing . . . not to mention Su Yu . . . Let them investigate . "

Zhang Manlin nodded .
"Did you become acquainted with Mian?" At the mention of Huo Mian, Huo Siqian's gaze softened .
Yes, I did . "
"How is she?" Huo Siqian asked .
"Should I be honest?"
"Of course . "
"Then I'll be blunt . Sister Mian really is a great person . . . How do I put it? She never sucks up to anyone and never says things she doesn't mean . . . But she's also not inflexible, nor super confrontational or brutally honest . Basically, everyone at work loves her . She's low-key, nice, and unproblematic . She's even nice to me! I tried to get a rise out of her the other day by saying mean things but she didn't get mad at me at all . I really think she's a great person . "
Yea, my Mian's always so calm . That's my favorite part of her . "
"So, I can really understand more and more why you like her so much . If I were a man, I'd probably like her too . " Zhang Manlin laughed .
"Lin-Lin, you've worked hard recently . Isolating Mian is a long and difficult task, and we've only got less than a month to complete it . You have to complete the job . Whether it's Qin Chu, Su Yu, or anyone else around her, you have to get to know them . You have to make them like you . You have to make Mian feel like the entire world's abandoning her . Only then would I have the opportunity to be by her side . . . "
"I understand, Big Brother Qian, I'll try my best . You've taken care of me for so long . Now that you need me, I'll definitely give it everything I've got . I won't let you down . "
"Okay . At the same time, you need to be careful of your own safety . "
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing . No one can harm me . " Zhang Manlin laughed .
"Then you should head back . Be cautious of your surroundings, don't get tailed," Huo Siqian reminded .
"Oh, yea, Big Brother Qian, I wanted to ask you something . " Zhang Manlin turned back .
