“Xiaotao, I don’t mean anything else. I know that you and your family have some disagreements because of your work. Please don’t get me wrong,” Zhang Rui explained nervously, worried that Yin Tao would be upset because of what she had said unintentionally.

“It’s fine. I choose my own life.” Compared to interacting with her younger sister, Yin Ning, Yin Tao actually preferred the straight talking Zhang Rui. Other than Bai Luo, Zhang Rui was her best friend since she transmigrated to the book world.

“You still have your brother. Isn’t he quite good? He is supportive of you too.”

Zhang Rui’s eyes lit up subconsciously when she mentioned Yin Hao. Yin Tao noticed the change in her expression and said with a smile, “My brother has been quite busy recently. Have you gone to his company to see him again?”

“We’ve contacted each other a few times…” Zhang Rui revealed a rare shy expression. “But your brother is really a good person. He knows that I was kidnapped before and has always taken good care of me. He’s also very patient.”

Yin Tao knew Yin Hao’s personality. He was indeed a very meticulous and warm person.

If Yin Hao really liked Zhang Rui, Yin Tao hoped that they could get together. After all, although Zhang Rui was a little straightforward, she was actually a simple and kind girl. “Go for it! As far as I know, my brother hasn’t had many girlfriends. He’s not the type to take the initiative in relationships. You might have to take the initiative,” Yin Tao kindly reminded Zhang Rui.

“It’s just making the first move, right? Don’t worry, I’m very good at this.” Zhang Rui patted her chest confidently. She inadvertently looked at the street scene outside the car window and suddenly remembered her purpose in coming to see Yin Tao.

“By the way, Xiaotao, why are you in the Wan Corporation?”

Yin Tao sighed softly and explained to Zhang Rui, “I’m here to investigate some matters.

I won’t stay in the Wan Corporation for long.”

“Investigation?” Zhang Rui widened her eyes in surprise. Thinking of Yin Tao’s profession, she suddenly raised her voice. “That bastard Wan Zhe finally broke the law? Did he kill someone?”

Seeing Zhang Rui’s surprised expression, Yin Tao suddenly had an idea and didn’t directly deny it. Yin Tao slowly asked Zhang Rui, “Do you think Wan Zhe could have killed someone?”

“It is possible! It is very possible. I used to think that he was unreliable. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been so determined to break up with him!”

There was no obvious conflict between Zhang Rui and Wan Zhe. Although Wan Zhe had a bad temper, he was unusually patient with his girlfriend and had always treated Zhang Rui well. If not for his extreme personality, Zhang Rui might not have broken up with him.

When Yin Tao heard Zhang Rui’s reply, her eyes darkened. She turned around and looked into Zhang Rui’s eyes. Yin Tao decided to directly ask the question, “Zhang Rui, there’s something I want to ask you.”

“Go ahead and ask. I’ll definitely tell you what I know.” Zhang Rui had always admired Yin Tao’s personality. She was her savior.

Zhang Rui had always been grateful to Yin Tao and would be eager to be of any help to her.

“Do you think it’s possible that Wan Zhe killed Xu Rui?” Yin Tao didn’t beat around the bush and asked her the burning question.

Zhang Rui’s character was trustworthy, so Yin Tao didn’t want to hide her guess from her.

“Xu Rui? Are you talking about Wan Zhe’s secretary?” Zhang Rui’s expression became a little strange. Previously, Yin Tao had mentioned Secretary Xu to her. The two of them had even agreed to find time to visit Xu Rui’s youngest daughter, Xu Shan, at the Children’s Home.

“Yes, do you think it’s possible that Wan Zhe killed Secretary Xu?” Yin Tao’s eyes were very firm, and she was not joking at all.

Zhang Rui thought for a long time. In the end, she shook her head gently and frowned at Yin Tao. “Xiaotao, although I sometimes feel that Wan Zhe is an out-and-out lunatic, with my understanding of him, I don’t think he is capable of killing Secretary Xu.”

Zhang Rui’s answer surprised Yin Tao. After all, Zhang Rui’s attitude just now seemed to have confirmed Wan Zhe’s identity as a murderer.

“You think it is impossible that Wan Zhe would kill Xu Rui?”

Zhang Rui nodded and explained to Yin Tao, “At the very least, I don’t think Wan Zhe will want to kill Secretary Xu. If you said that Wan Zhe killed a competitor of the Wan Corporation, I would believe you without hesitation. However, Wan Zhe and Secretary Xu have always had a good relationship. I don’t think they can develop to the point of being enemies..”
