Hypocrite
Translator: Henyee Translations | Editor: Henyee Translations
i Shu felt sowhat surprised and asked friendly with her head tilted, “How did you know?”
The policeman replied, “I have a friend who works at the Tax Bureau. A few days ago when we were having dinner, I heard about this matter. However, I don’t know much about it. 1 just vaguely heard him say that soone wants to harm you. Since we’re eting now, and seeing that Miss i doesn’t seem like a major villain, I thought I’d kindly remind you to be careful recently.”
i Shu quickly stopped him, “Officer, you can’t just say half of it. Since you’ve ntioned it, why not reveal a little more? I also want to know who might be detrintal to the i Corporation at this ti.”
The policeman shrugged, “1 really only know this much, and besides, it’s also confidential information from the Tax Bureau. But I can give you my friend’s contact information, and you can have a chat with him. My friend has seen the news about you before and has a favorable impression of you, always wanting to et you.”
“That would be my honor,” i Shu said, directly having Tang i fetch her business card and providing her personal contact information.
The policeman didn’t reach out to take the business card. “I don’t want to be the middleman in this matter, nor do I want too much interaction with people in the business world. Just wait a mont; let find my friend’s phone number.”
After saying that, he actually opened his phone and flipped through his contacts. Then he read a string of numbers to i Shu, “Here it is. You can treat it as if you found it yourself. Please don’t ntion that I told you.”
“Alright, thank you very much. I understand that you may not want too much involvent with , so I won’t disturb you much. But if there’s anything I can help with in the future, please be sure to contact or my secretary. i Corporation will do its best to assist the police in any way possible.”
i Shu promised with a smile.
The policeman then formally bid her farewell.
It was evident that he intended to develop his insider connections in the business world. However, his current position didn’t allow him to make it too obvious. But just obtaining i Shu’s promise was enough for now.
Even without ntioning the relationship between i Shu and Lu Si, i Shu’s words, as the CEO of i Corporation, carried weight.
After seeing off the policeman, i Shu imdiately instructed Tang i to investigate the owner of the phone number. Soon, she received a reply. “President i, the registered owner of the phone number has been identified. The na of the owner is Li Si, who is the secretary of Director Wang at the Tax Bureau.”
i Shu sprang up from her chair.
She was extrely familiar with this na.
In her previous life, she chased after Li Zhen, thinking she would marry him. But she had also tried to please Li Si. However, in the end, Li Si colluded with Li Zhen to deceive her. While enjoying the benefits of being a lady of the i family, Li Si secretly helped Li Zhen conceal his underground affair with i Mu.
If it hadn’t been for Li Si’s constant deception, perhaps she would have had the chance to see through Li Zhen’s true colors earlier in her previous life!
“President i, are you alright? Do you know this person?” Tang i felt worried seeing her pale face and hurriedly helped her sit back on the chair.
i Shu shook her head, “It’s nothing. I will personally et with this person. You can go and attend to your own affairs for now.”
“Alright, President i. If you need anything, please don’t hesitate to call .” Tang i still seed sowhat concerned. She filled her glass with water before leaving.
i Shu picked up her phone, illuminated the screen with the phone number, and stared at it for a while before dialing.
“Hello? Mr. Li, this is i Shu. 1 have sothing I’d like to discuss with you privately. Are you available?”
Five o’clock in the afternoon, at the Enjoynt Western Restaurant.
i Shu arrived one minute earlier than Li Si.
They t at the bar, and the mont i Shu saw Li Si, she couldn’t help but feel that Li Si was no different from his previous life.
He still had that hypocritical appearance, neatly dressed, making it hard to find any flaws.
But no one knew better than i Shu that although Li Si appeared to be a public servant on the surface, he was greedy behind the scenes, taking advantage of his position to gain substantial benefits, more greedy than anyone else.
Dealing with such a person, one must be prepared to offer substantial benefits; otherwise, it would be very difficult to pry anything out of him.
“Are you two together?” The waiter warmly greeted them and invited them to sit at a nearby table in the lobby.
i Shu raised her hand to stop him, keeping her eyes on Li Si, “Take us to a private room. I want a cup of Aricano. What about you, Mr. Li?”
“Just the sa as Miss i,” Li Si replied aningfully, returning her gaze.
The two were escorted into a private booth in the cafe, shutting the door behind them to completely shut out the outside noise.
i Shu smiled, “Mr. Li, please have a seat. It’s our first eting, and I initially wanted to book a better spot for our al. But I understand your distinguished status; it might be inconvenient outside. This cafe’s private booths have good soundproofing, and the steaks are top-notch. I believe they’ll suit your taste.” “Miss i is thoughtful, knowing that 1 prefer Western cuisine,” Li Si said, setting down his briefcase and sitting upright on the sofa. “Actually, I’ve been wanting to make acquaintances with Miss i for a while now, but there just hasn’t been an opportunity. Looks like today is my lucky day..”
