After seeing Mrs. Hong off, Lin Wan hurried back home and found that Li Mu was heading out with an envelope in his hand.

“Where are you going?” Lin Wan asked uneasily.

Li Mu waved the envelope in his hand and replied solemnly, “F**k, he is trying to deceive me with these manipulated photos. He probably doesn’t know which industry I work in. Our company’s image processing capabilities are one of the best in the industry. I have already contacted the relevant personnel to help me verify the authenticity of the photos.”

“You still don’t believe me?” Lin Wan said sadly.

Li Mu hurriedly explained, “I already said that the photos were manipulated. How could I not believe you? These are two different things. I believe you, but it doesn’t mean that I have to give up investigating it. Do you want to let that villain who framed you go?”

“What can you find out? Honey, can we just let Mrs. Hong take care of this matter?”

“No, I can’t. My wife has been framed by others. I can’t sit and do nothing at all. I have to look into this matter personally. You don’t need to persuade me. I need to go to the office now. They are still waiting for me!”

Lin Wan knew that she couldn’t dissuade her husband, so she took her bag from the hanger and said, “Alright then. I will go with you!”

Li Mu didn’t say anything. He directly took his wife’s hand and walked out of the house. Just before they got in the car, Lin Wan couldn’t help but complain, “Why are you driving her car again?”

“It’s because I am in a hurry to get home just now, and her car is fast!”

All along the way, they remained silent, and they soon arrived at the Dongyang Group. At the company’s parking garage, Li Mu said to Lin Wan, “Wait for me here and don’t show yourself. You are the female main character in the photo. I don’t want them to know that this matter is related to my wife.”

Lin Wan nodded as she could understand her husband’s concerns. Although she was framed, this was not a good thing after all. Thus, it was totally understandable that Li Mu didn’t want this thing to become the topic of other people’s gossip.

“Alright, I will wait for you in the car. Quickly go now!”

Li Mu went to the office building. He Xiaoyu was waiting for him in the office. Upon seeing him step into the office, she immediately stood up.

“Li Mu, what’s the matter? You sounded really anxious on the phone just now. What on earth happened?”

“Where did you get these photos from?” Li Mu asked angrily.

“I hired a private investigator, and he gave me all this evidence.”

He Xiaoyu had a bad feeling about this. Her intuition told her that something had gone wrong, and it may have something to do with this evidence.

As expected, Li Mu cursed softly, “Idiot. You were deceived by that guy. They are fake. All the photos have been manipulated!”

“Ah!” He Xiaoyu looked at him in surprise and couldn’t react for a long while.

“Have you contacted Mr. Wang?”

Only then did He Xiaoyu react, and she replied quickly, “Yes, I have contacted him. He is currently waiting for you in the conference room with the equipment.”

“Okay, let’s go and meet him now. We will let the expert decide the authenticity of the photos!”

The two of them rushed to the conference room. As soon as they entered the room, a man in his fifties immediately stood up and greeted Li Mu with a smile, “Hello, Mr. Li!”

Li Mu walked over to shake hands with him. Then, he placed the envelope on the table and said to the man straightforwardly, “Mr. Wang, there is something I need to trouble you with. I need you to help me to verify the authenticity of the photos in the envelope.”

“Mr. Li, you are being too polite. Let’s get started now?”

“Okay, thank you, Mr. Wang!”

…

“This photo has been manipulated!” Mr. Wang pointed to the computer screen and said.

“You see. These image points were added later. I think they were taken from another photo. If you don’t look carefully, you won’t be able to spot it at all.”

Mr. Wang used the mouse and circled two sections in the photo.

“For example, if you compare these two image points, the brightness and contrast of the two are slightly different. We know that this shouldn’t happen in the same photo. This can only indicate that these image points are taken from other photos.”

“Mr. Wang, does this mean that this photo has been manipulated?” He Xiaoyu asked unhappily.

“Yes, I have tried to restore the photo. As you two can see, these are the actual positions of the characters in the photo. They are not drinking cross-cupped wine at all.”

“The person who manipulated this photo must be an expert in image processing. After he put the two persons together, a white layer will appear in the original position of the characters. Then, he extracted the corresponding image from the other photos, placed it on top of the white layer, and restored the photo to normal proportions. He has done it in such a way that it is very difficult for ordinary people to distinguish the authenticity.”

He Xiaoyu took a glance at Li Mu with an awkward expression on her face. In the end, it turned out that she had been deceived. She hoped that Li Mu would not think that she was the man behind all this.

Mr. Wang also verified the authenticity of the other few photos. In the end, some of the photos were fake while the others were real. All the so-called key evidence was basically fake. Even if they had been real, there would have been circumstantial evidence to prove Lin Wan’s innocence.

Li Mu was totally relieved and thrilled after knowing that. His wife didn’t lie to him. She had been set up, but fortunately, he was not fooled. Otherwise, his wife would definitely be very upset!

After sending Mr. Wang off, He Xiaoyu said dejectedly, “I’m sorry, Li Mu. I didn’t do this on purpose. I have also been deceived.”

“I know. I don’t blame you. Have you paid him?”

“Yes, I settled it right on the spot. I have paid him the full amount!”

“Just forget it if you have paid him in full. Just take it as a lesson. Don’t do stupid things again the next time.”

“I’m sorry. I really didn’t expect that he would deceive me.”

Li Mu patted her shoulder and said with a smile, “He is just catering to your demands. You must have revealed a very determined look on your face. Therefore, he had deliberately deceived you for money.”

“He b*st*rd!” He Xiaoyu said furiously.

“Forget about this matter. I advise you not to pursue this matter anymore. Just let it pass! Also, don’t waste your effort anymore. I believe my wife is not that kind of person!”

“Okay, I got it. I would like to apologize to Lin Wan. Is she at home?”

“Stop. I don’t need you to apologize to her. Remember my words. No matter who asks you about it, you just have to tell them that you have nothing to do with it. Do you understand?”

He Xiaoyu nodded and replied, “Okay, I will do as you say. You won’t hate me, right?”

“What nonsense are you talking about? Go and do whatever you want. I also need to go back and comfort my wife now!”

Zhou Zijian was apprehended by the police on the street. Two police cars stopped in front of his car, and a few policemen got out of the cars and dragged him out of his car. After putting the handcuffs on him, they took him back to the police station.

Zhou Zijian sat in the interrogation room of the police station with his head down and said nothing.

The policeman sitting in front of him was also not in a hurry. He was smoking a cigarette with his eyes fixed on Zhou Zijian.

If he had been an ordinary person, he definitely wouldn’t have been able to stand this kind of invisible pressure, and he would disclose everything in detail without anyone asking because of nervousness.

Zhou Zijian was obviously not an ordinary person. He had received professional training in this area. If you didn’t ask, he wouldn’t say anything. Even if you asked, he would also avoid the most crucial point.

After a while, the policeman took out a cigarette from the cigarette box and handed it to him. He lit the cigarette for Zhou Zijian, and then one for himself. He then looked at Zhou Zijian and said, “Bro, is it so easy to earn money?”

Zhou Zijian was relieved after realizing that he was taken to the police station because of this matter. There was nothing to worry about now.

Then, he began to laugh bitterly again. It seemed that this matter was even more worrying. If that matter was exposed, he would be sentenced to a two-year jail at most. However, if that matter was not handled well, he was afraid that even the boss would be dragged into it.

After spitting out a puff of cigarette smoke, the policeman said, “Although what you have done is illegal, there is such a demand in the society, so we can just turn a blind eye to it. But every industry has its own rules. You shouldn’t deceive people after taking their money. Are you married?”

This policeman was quite friendly.

Zhou Zijian felt a lot more comfortable after smoking. “Not yet, but soon,” he replied.

“Have you fixed the date yet?”

“Yes, we are getting married on October 1st!”

“If that is the case, you shouldn’t do such a thing even more. Let me tell you. Believe it or not, the person who you offended can put you in jail, and you will never get out again.”

Hearing that, Zhou Zijian’s hands began to tremble uncontrollably. He was not faking it, but he was really afraid. It was because he had believed those words. There were some people that one really could not afford to offend, and He Xiaoyu was one of them.

“Think about it carefully. If you really go to jail, your girlfriend will definitely run away with another man. Even if you have a chance to come out of jail, you will be old by then, and society has changed. Your life will be over.”

“Yes, I have done wrong. I am willing to confess!”

“Think about it carefully. I will talk to you again later!”

Saying that, the policeman stood up and directly walked out of the room.

Zhou Zijian sat uneasily while breaking out in a cold sweat.

About half an hour later, that policeman walked in and unlocked the handcuffs attaching him to the chair. Then he ordered, “Come with me. There is someone who wants to see you!”

Zhou Zijian followed him with his head down, not even daring to take a breath.

The policeman led him to the reception room. There were two people in the room, one was sitting, and the other was standing. The person sitting was He Xiaoyu, and standing behind her was Tang Quan.

“I will leave you guys to talk!”

After saying that, the policeman turned and left the room.

Zhou Zijian knelt down on the ground and said with a sobbing tone, “Ms. He, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t deceive you. Please give me a chance. I won’t dare to do this again.”

“Lin Wan didn’t cheat on her husband, right?” He Xiaoyu asked coldly.

“Yes, Ms. He. Although I deceived you, my original intention is to help you. I really didn’t have a choice because you kept rushing me. I am really sorry. Please forgive me!”

“Get up from the ground!”

“Thank you, Ms. He. Thank you. Don’t worry. I will return all the money to you. No, no, I will return double the amount of the money you paid to you!”

He Xiaoyu asked with a frown, “You really didn’t find anything at all?”

Zhou Zijian grumbled silently in his heart. It was not that he didn’t find anything at all. He had found out about Lin Wan’s suspicious identity, her fake parents, and the murder at the hotel. However, he didn’t dare to disclose all these findings to her because his boss didn’t allow him to do so.

However, it was not easy to deal with this Ms. He at all. If he didn’t handle her well, he might really go to jail.

“Ms. He, I will be honest with you. Lin Wan’s behavior is very normal. I have been keeping a close watch and following her every day. I really didn’t find any problems with her.”

“Alas!” He Xiaoyu sighed disappointedly.

“However, it’s not really there is no finding at all. It’s just that it takes time to see the results. You won’t find anything in a short time.”

“What did you find? Tell me now!”

“Ms. He, do you know a man named Lu Fangliang?”

“Lu Fangliang?” He Xiaoyu obviously didn’t know this man.

Tang Quan whispered in her ear, “Ms. He, Lu Fangliang is the head of the Lu Corporation. You met him at the Entrepreneurs Summit last time!”

After Tang Quan reminded her, He Xiaoyu seemed to recall this person and said to Zhou Zijian, “Are you referring to the president of the Lu Corporation?”

“Yes, it’s him. Ms. He, that man is a widower, and his daughter goes to the school where Lin Wan works. I am sure that he is definitely interested in Lin Wan and wants to take their relationship further!”

“How far has their relationship progressed?”

“Lin Wan visited Lu Fangliang’s house once, but they never contacted each other again after that. But I feel that there will still be some progression in their relationship. We just need a little more patience.”

“You won’t deceive me again, right?” He Xiaoyu asked worriedly.

“Ms. He, no matter how bold I am, I won’t dare to deceive you again. Don’t worry. I will record the whole process. As long as there is a progression in their relationship, I will inform you immediately.”

He Xiaoyu nodded and said, “Okay, I will believe you one more time again. Remember, if you dare to deceive me again, I will definitely make you regret being alive. Do you understand?”

“Yes, yes, I understand. Please be rest assured, Ms. He. It won’t happen again!”

“Okay, you can keep the money. Do your best, and don’t let me down again.”

“Okay, I will definitely do my best, and I won’t let you down again!”
