After Li Weixi hung up the phone, she started to feel conflicted again.
She had no idea what Lin Yi was thinking and did not dare to trouble him. But what could she do on her own?
It should be fine, right?
She could not help but comfort herself like this.
However, when she thought about Bai Sha, she was still afraid. She was lucky last time because it was Lu Luan's scheme and she did not suffer any substantial harm. But if it was Gu Ze, she believed that she would be in deep trouble.
Now, she was no longer as naive as she was in the beginning. She had always been careful about such things.
After thinking about it, she scrolled through the phone book and finally decided to try calling The Thirteenth Master herself.
Actually, she was not very confident because The Thirteenth Master was Lin Yi's friend. She seemed to be overestimating herself by doing this, but she really had no other choice now.
She dialed the number. The Thirteenth Master picked up quickly and said in his usual frivolous tone, "Little Sissi? Why do you have time to call me? At this time, shouldn't you be with Lin Yi … "
Li Weixi immediately understood the meaning behind his unfinished words. She was so embarrassed that her face turned slightly red.
"He's not back yet."
The Thirteenth Master let out a long "Oh" and said in a tone that said, "I knew it. Tell me, why are you calling me?"
"Hmm …" Li Weixi hesitated for a moment, not knowing how to stop herself. She really could not ask The Thirteenth Master for help in her own name, so she said, "Zhihan said that Gu Ze seems to have contacted a foreign country. I'm afraid that he will have designs on Lin Yi's project, so I want to ask you to investigate Gu Ze."
"Oh, I see …" The Thirteenth Master was quick-witted. He knew that Li Weixi was deliberately putting Lin Yi in the picture, but he did not care. It was easy to deal with people like Gu Ze, so he readily agreed. "Okay, I'll keep an eye out for you. This guy is still so restless. It seems that my warning to him was not enough."
He immediately changed the topic and said, "Did you quarrel with Lin Yi? Why didn't you tell him about this first? "
Li Weixi did not expect The Thirteenth Master to be so sharp. She stammered and did not know what to say. However, it seemed that The Thirteenth Master was busy. After asking this question, he did not continue to dig and hung up.
Looking at the phone, Li Weixi felt that something was wrong. However, she heaved a sigh of relief in her heart and did not probe further.
However, what she did not know was that as soon as she hung up, The Thirteenth Master immediately called Lin Yi and told him about Li Weixi. Naturally, he could not help but persuade him not to quarrel with Li Weixi.
Lin Yi did not comment. He only asked him to keep an eye out for Gu Ze before hanging up.
He was indeed a little unhappy that Li Weixi had called The Thirteenth Master without him.
This woman actually dared to make her own decisions.
Li Weixi, who was beginning to lose control, made him feel very bad.
The Thirteenth Master was a swift and decisive person. He would never delay things that were given to him. As soon as he hung up the phone, he sent someone to keep an eye on Gu Ze and get his call record.
However, after checking, he found that Gu Ze's call record was blank. There was time but no content. Obviously, someone had tampered with it.
Holding the document in his hand, The Thirteenth Master could not help but smile. His eyes were flickering.
This Gu Ze was really capable. He had hooked up with such a person. He wanted to know who would dare to go against him and help Gu Ze.
The Thirteenth Master also sent a text message to Chi Zhihan. Then, he got busy with the matter at hand.
In the evening.
Chi Zhihan stayed in the company for a full hour according to The Thirteenth Master's text message before she came out.
The man was already waiting for her at the door. When he saw her come out, he said, "Hey, get in the car. Let's find a place to talk."
"Okay." Chi Zhihan followed him into the car and asked in confusion, "Why do you want me to wait an hour before coming out?"
"This way, you won't bump into Gu Ze. It's more convenient."
The two of them randomly found a restaurant. The Thirteenth Master had no intention of beating around the bush. He said bluntly, "You eavesdropped on Gu Ze's phone call. What did you hear?"
Eavesdrop …
These words made Chi Zhihan feel uncomfortable for a moment. She coughed and explained, "I just happened to bump into him. It doesn't count as eavesdropping, right?"
"I didn't dare to get too close, so I didn't hear very clearly. I told Sissi everything."
"I see." The Thirteenth Master tapped the table with his fingers. He seemed to find it difficult. "This way, we can't narrow down the scope. It's a lot more troublesome to find him. We also can't determine that guy's motive."
Chi Zhihan did not say anything. She knew that she could not help much in this matter.
The Thirteenth Master was silent for nearly half an hour. He seemed to be thinking of countermeasures. He did not touch the food on the table.
Chi Zhihan was too embarrassed to eat when he did not touch his chopsticks. Even though her stomach was a little uncomfortable from hunger, she swallowed her saliva and endured it. She thought to herself that at worst, she could go home and have a good meal.
She was letting her imagination run wild when The Thirteenth Master suddenly asked, "How's that guy's attitude toward you in the company now?"
"Huh?" Chi Zhihan, who was thinking about food, did not react for a moment. She ate for a few seconds before replying, "It's okay. He'll say a few words to me when he has the chance, but he's not as presumptuous as before."
"So, he still doesn't plan to give up on you." The Thirteenth Master's eyes flashed with a hint of calculation. He picked up the cup and played with it in his hand. He chuckled. "This is good. Gradually soften your attitude over the next few days. When it's about time, give him a hint and ask him to treat you to a meal."
Chi Zhihan's eyes flashed with a touch of disgust. She hesitated and asked, "Why should I do this?"
"Now we know so little and we can't know anything. It's better to ask him directly. I don't think this guy is a tough nut to crack, but he's very vigilant. If we don't do this, we won't be able to ask him out."
In the end, he added another sentence, which finally made Chi Zhihan make up her mind.
"Aren't you worried about Sissi? Since you're worried, it's better to make a decision as soon as possible. "
Chi Zhihan was stunned. The disgust in her heart was lessened a lot because of her worry about Li Weixi.
She bit her lower lip and nodded. "Okay, I'll try. How many days do you think it will take to not arouse his suspicion?"
The Thirteenth Master showed an enigmatic smile. "I'll make the arrangements. When the time comes, you just have to act according to my script. If you want to make a woman feel touched in a short time, there has to be some danger for the man to save the damsel in distress, right?"
So there was a plan …
