At this moment, everyone in the dining room was focused on Shi Man. Even Shi Mu, who had always looked down on Yi Zheng, spoke up for him in a rare move.

“Manman, if Brother-in-law did anything wrong, just tell him directly and ask him to change. If he doesn’t listen to you, I’ll help you deal with him!”

Yi Zheng glared at him. Seeing that he was putting in a good word for him, he did not argue with him.

Su Tang and Bai Xue had the same thought.

Shi Man sighed and said, “Brother, I think it’s too early for you to call him brother-in-law now. We’re just engaged. Although he lives in the Shi family, he’s only staying temporarily. We’re not married and living together. Therefore, it’s better for you to call him by his full name so that others won’t misunderstand.”

Misunderstand?

Who would get the wrong idea?

Wait a minute!

Did his sister mean that she didn’t want to marry Yi Zheng anymore?

Shi Mu was overjoyed. “Sister, did you suddenly realize that Yi Zheng is not worthy of you? Have you realised that he can’t give you happiness?”

Shen Xian nudged him and told him to shut up. Then, she quickly walked behind her daughter and patted her shoulder. “If there’s anything, you can tell me. I’ve been through this before. I can help you analyze it.”

“No need.” Shi Man shook her head gently. “Forget it. 1’11 go out with him. Sit down and eat.”

“Sister, if you want to call off the engagement now, I’ll be the first to support you!” Shi Mu said happily. Then, he received a warning look from Bai Xue. He instantly deflated like a deflated ball and sat back down pitifully.

Yi Zheng didn’t care what others said, but he was already very happy that Shi Man was willing to be alone with him.

After dinner, Shi Man tidied up briefly and got into Yi Zheng’s car.

There were only the two of them in the car.

Yi Zheng held Shi Man’s hand tentatively and said, “What did you mean just now? Didn’t we agree that you can’t call off the engagement before 1 find evidence to prove myself?”

Shi Man retracted her hand expressionlessly, her dark eyes filled with silence. “So, did you investigate the entire matter?”

“I did,” Yi Zheng said with a deep gaze. “I went to the hospital for a checkup before I came back last night, but the result was that there was no residual poison in my body. There are only two reasons for this. First, it was not poison at all. It’s just medicine that will make me lose my mind. Second, the poison has already lost its effect, so they couldn’t locate it.”

Shi Man listened quietly and nodded. “Continue.”

Yi Zheng continued, “I asked Tang Zhe to investigate the most likely mastermind and send all the wine glasses in the hotel to be tested, but the results are still not ideal.”

There was no harmful substance left in those glasses at all. Moreover, the surveillance cameras that night showed that although Sui Ze was full of malice towards him, he did not do anything suspicious. He had never touched Yi Zheng’s glass at all.

This matter could not be connected to him for the time being.

Shi Man raised her eyebrows slightly and said, “In other words, you still haven’t found anything after investigating for the entire night?”

Yi Zheng sighed and said, “There’s another direct way. Tang Zhe has already brought people to do it. I believe there will be a result soon.”

If he wanted to prove that he had never touched Chen Jiao, the simplest and fastest way was naturally to start with Chen Jiao.

If it was really as Chen Jiao had said, then there must still be something in her body that belonged to him. If there was nothing, it just happened to prove that he had not done anything.

Before he could finish his sentence, Shi Man immediately understood what he wanted Tang Zhe to do. Her expression turned cold. “Why is there a special assistant beside you that 1 don’t know about?”

At the mention of this, Yi Zheng hurriedly explained to her, “The company has been too busy recently, so I asked Tang Zhe to hire a few assistants. Chen Jiao is Tang Zhe’s distant cousin. She wanted to come to the capital to work, so she could become my assistant under Tang Zhe.”

So they were relatives.

Shi Man narrowed her eyes, her expression becoming more and more meaningful.

Yi Zheng’s heart tightened. He hurriedly held her hand and said, “Manman, don’t you believe me? I really didn’t do anything. I only like you. How could I have sex with another woman?”

Shi Man could not help but roll her eyes. She retracted her hand and opened the car door to get out. “I’ll definitely believe you when you show me the evidence.”

Yi Zheng suddenly frowned and tried his best to suppress his emotions. He barely managed to calm down and call Tang Zhe. “How is it?”

The situation on Tang Zhe’s side seemed to be a little tricky. He could hear a woman crying on the phone.

He walked to the bathroom with a headache and barely isolated himself from the noise outside. “President Yi, my cousin has never had a boyfriend before. This kind of thing is indeed difficult for her to accept. Give me some more time. 1’11 definitely finish it.”

Yi Zheng also knew that this was a little difficult, but Chen Jiao was the one who insisted that she had sex with him, so it was impossible for her to stay out of it.

“Well, send someone to keep an eye on the Sui Family. 1 feel that this matter has something to do with them..”
