Shi Man held her forehead speechlessly and looked even more helpless. "Dad, the most important thing now is not me. Moreover, I haven't finished my studies. I don't want to mention marriage before graduation."

Shi Zhong was stunned for a moment, as if he had not adapted to the fact that his daughter valued her studies so much. Just as he was about to say something, someone suddenly knocked on the study door.

Shi Man heaved a sigh of relief and turned to look at the door. She saw Yi Zheng standing against the light and staring at her with a smile.

"Uncle Shi, Manman, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. Something happened in the company just now."

"You don't have to be so polite. Sit down." Shi Zhong smiled and invited Yi Zheng to sit on the sofa beside Shi Man. He sized up the two of them with a gratified expression and nodded in satisfaction at their compatibility. "Have you settled the company's matters?"

"It's settled. It's not a big deal." Yi Zheng glanced at the girl with a straight back and smiled meaningfully. "My mother said that my engagement to Manman should be put on the agenda. I'll set an appointment for tea with you another day."

"Alright, the two of you can finally get together. I'm happy. You have to drink a few more glasses with me during dinner later!"

Shi Zhong had watched Yi Zheng grow up and was very satisfied with this child since he was young. Now that he had become his son-in-law, it was equivalent to Yi Zheng becoming his son. The more he looked at Yi Zheng, the more he liked him.

Since his daughter could marry a man who was very outstanding and motivated, what was there to be picky about?

For a moment, the scene of a father being kind and a son being filial played in the room. Shi Man listened to the two of them chatting happily expressionlessly and interrupted coldly, "Dad, I didn't call Yi Zheng over today to talk about these nosy things, right?"

"How can this be nosy?" Shi Zhong glared at her unhappily and did not say anything else. He instantly changed his words. "You should know about Yi Kun, right? I've revealed that old fellow's background, but that bastard actually dared to let his son take the blame!"

"Yi Che confessed. We have to help him reverse the case," Shi Man concluded concisely.

It was all thanks to Yi Che's tip-off that they could catch Yi Kun this time. If not for him, it would not have been so easy for the Shi family to catch him so quickly.

They had promised to protect Yi Che. This time, Yi Kun had taken such a dangerous move. They could only think of another way to get Yi Che out.

Yi Zheng listened quietly. Sensing Shi Zhong's hesitant gaze, he couldn't help but laugh. "Uncle, don't worry. I'll definitely stand on her side in matters related to Shi Man."

"Yes!" Shi Zhong was extremely satisfied with him. He patted his shoulder in trust. "Yi Zheng, I can already see your heart for Manman. Uncle is very relieved to leave her in your care."

"I don't need anyone to take care of me. Can we get back to business?" Shi Man's impression of this old man has refreshed again. She couldn't help but roll her eyes in her heart.

Yi Zheng curled his lips in amusement and nodded. "This matter isn't difficult. Yi Che didn't do this. Even if he confesses, the police actually won't be able to obtain any conclusive evidence about him. Without evidence, the case can't be closed."

"But we don't have direct evidence to prove that Yi Kun did this." Shi Zhong frowned, but he was still puzzled.

Yi Kun was still very careful in doing these things. Although the police knew that this matter must be related to him, they could not arrest him without key evidence. Moreover, Yi Che had taken the initiative to be the scapegoat.

Yi Zheng pondered for a moment and said, "Uncle, I know someone. She should have evidence."

"Who is it?"

This time, even Shi Man could not help but be curious. Yi Kun was such a serious person. He was even guarded against his own son and refused to hand over his power. Who could have such a strong hold on him?

Yi Zheng shrugged helplessly and sighed. "This method is a little dishonorable. I hope you won't change your impression of me after I say it."

"Don't worry, tell me. How can Uncle not know what kind of person you are?" Shi Zhong took a sip of tea indifferently and waited for Yi Zheng to continue.

Yi Zheng did not hesitate. He was prepared for the worst this time. He did not want to lie to Shi Man, so he chose to tell her frankly. "I planted someone beside Yi Kun."

Shi Zhong heaved a sigh of relief and waved his hand in amusement. "What's this? Which of our aristocratic families hasn't buried spies in the other party's company? However, the person you planted is really capable. He actually found such key evidence!"

"She's indeed not bad, because she's not an ordinary person lying in ambush beside Yi Kun." Yi Zheng frowned, his face revealing some disgust and disdain. "She's a bed partner I arranged for Yi Kun and a tool to satisfy his strange habits."
