My gaze lingered on her face for a moment before I subtly broke the silence at the dining table. "There's a new project at work, quite tricky."
I lit a cigarette and took a deep drag, the taste of nicotine helping me calm down a bit. "This project is important; I need to keep a close eye on it."
I casually brought up, "By the way, I think I saw Qin Hui at the pharmacy a few days ago. Is he feeling unwell?"
Zhang Wan's hand paused momentarily as she was serving food, but she quickly regained her composure.
"Really? He hasn't mentioned anything to me," she replied in a calm tone, though I noticed a flicker of panic in her eyes. I caught that subtle change and felt even more certain of my suspicions.
After dinner, I excused myself under the pretense of work and returned to my study.
Zhang Wan had already tidied up the kitchen and was sitting on the sofa watching television.
Once I closed the door to my study, I immediately dialed the number of the owner of the Health Supplement Store that I had investigated earlier.
When the call connected, I lowered my voice and used a pre-prepared voice changer. "I need some... special health supplements, you know what I mean."
There was a moment of silence on the other end before a hoarse voice replied, "How many?"
"The more, the better." I tried to make my voice sound like that of a regular customer.
After a moment of silence, the boss's voice finally came through again. "Mr. Shen, you know that in business, we must keep our customers' secrets..."
"Fifty thousand," I interrupted him directly.
The line fell silent once more, and after a brief pause, the boss's voice came back, tinged with hesitation. "Mr. Shen, this..."
"One hundred thousand, cash, tonight's transaction," I stated firmly, leaving no room for doubt.
"Alright, alright, Mr. Shen, I agree," the boss's tone finally softened.
"Tomorrow at noon, the usual place." He hung up after finishing his sentence.
I ended the call and a cold smile crept onto my lips. Money can solve problems that are not really problems.
I set my phone down, still smiling coldly. Tomorrow, I would obtain solid evidence.
The next day at noon, I arrived early at the agreed location and took cover to observe from a concealed spot.
Before long, a man in a black coat appeared in my line of sight.
He was looking around furtively; it was indeed the Health Supplement Store Owner.
I took out the miniature camera I had prepared in advance and aimed it at him.
A few minutes later, Qin Hui appeared.
He walked straight up to the boss, and the two exchanged a few words in hushed tones. Then, Qin Hui took a black plastic bag from the boss's hand and quickly left.
I recorded the entire transaction, feeling a weight lift off my shoulders.
In the afternoon, I received a call from my private lawyer, Lawyer Wang. "Mr. Shen, your father's will has indeed been altered; the beneficiary is Zhang Wan." Lawyer Wang's tone was serious and grave.
I took a deep breath, suppressing the anger boiling inside me. "When was it modified?"
"Just the day before your father's accident." Lawyer Wang's response sent a jolt through me.
I hung up the phone and connected all the dots: Qin Hui buying sleeping pills, my father's will being changed, Zhang Wan's excessive grief, and that unfamiliar watch at the accident scene... All the evidence pointed to a chilling truth.
I closed my eyes and clenched my fists tightly. Zhang Wan, Qin Hui, you have such cruel hearts! I will make you pay for this! I picked up my phone and dialed a number...
