*********************************

“Let me see the photo first.” Bai Xiaojun said coldly.

Hu Angran opened his phone’s photo album, found the photo he had edited earlier, and flipped it over for Bai Xiaojun to see.

Bai Xiaojun was about to reach for the phone when Hu Angran tightened his grip on it.

“You just need to look.”

Bai Xiaojun was secretly furious, thinking that once this matter was settled, she’d definitely fix him up. Did he really think he was some big shot?

She examined it closely, noting that even though it wasn’t frontal, such a photo was suggestive enough, quite decent.

Hu Angran deliberately kept the timestamp from the surveillance footage for future progress.

Bai Xiaojun nodded, that was good.

“Okay, you can go ahead now, just follow my arrangements from here. I’ll go investigate thoroughly first.”

Bai Xiaojun hurried off.

Hu Angran was puzzled; was this woman willing to harm her own company’s interests just to ruin her sister-in-law’s reputation? Truly the most venomous of women.

Meanwhile, when Puppet woke up, Bai Siyang explained everything, showering affection, which finally appeased his wife.

However, he hadn’t yet mentioned his plan to have his little sister move out, intending to wait until everything was arranged before telling his wife.

Originally, Li Shuning hadn’t planned to dwell on the matter obsessively, and with a way to back down, life returned to peace.

Bai Siyang let out a sigh of relief, uncertain what he would have done if his wife couldn’t let it go.

In his heart, his wife was indeed the person he loved most.

Lately, Bai Siyang had been increasingly busy with a major project to compete for; everyone at the company, Bai Siyang included, had been working hard for a long time.

It was already in the wrap-up stage. Once this project was secured, all the effort would have been worth it.

While Bai Siyang was still busy, he suddenly received a message on his private phone.

The message contained a picture accompanied by text.

[Give up the project, and provide your company’s completed proposal, or we’ll release all the videos, with content even more explicit than the photo shown.]

Staring at the photo, Bai Siyang felt it hard to breathe.

He loved Li Shuning so much that he couldn’t mistake that face.

Had his wife been with someone else?

That photo deeply stabbed his eyes.

He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself.

He believed that he and his wife shared a deep bond, and that she could not betray him.

Bai Siyang opened his eyes again, scrutinizing the picture.

Upon closer inspection, he noticed some discrepancies.

The picture seemed a bit off.

He knew every part of his wife’s body well; the collarbone and shoulder in the picture were noticeably different, even though the face was the same.

Wait, the timestamp.

Bai Siyang’s eyes widened; the time was clearly wrong.

Wasn’t the 28th the day his childhood friend called him, and his wife and brother-in-law were drinking at a bar?

It was so late, he brought his wife home himself.

At that time, he was with his wife in the car.

Looking at the picture made it seem ridiculous now; someone had doctored a photo to threaten him?

Had people stooped so low in order to compete for this project?

Who could it be?

Only a few people at home knew about his private phone.

So how did this person find out his private phone number?

And his wife’s photo, how did they obtain it?

Bai Siyang was sure now that the photo was doctored.

But who was behind it, daring to use such a thing to threaten him? They had clearly crossed his line.

Bai Siyang’s eyes turned cold; he would definitely not let the one behind it get away.

After making a few phone calls, Bai Siyang thought for a moment and called Li Shuning.

“Wife, what are you doing?”

“Working, of course.”

“I’ll pick you up after work; there’s something I need to discuss with you.”

Li Shuning was curious, but she agreed through Puppet.

When the workday ended, Bai Siyang picked up Puppet.

Instead of returning to the villa, he took her to a private club.

After dinner, Bai Siyang said, “Wife, I’m going to show you something later. Don’t get upset when you see it. I trust you and know it’s not real. Think back and see if you were ever secretly photographed or noticed anything unusual.”

After getting Puppet’s agreement, Bai Siyang took out his phone.

Puppet opened the photo on the phone and was immediately wide-eyed with surprise.

“Si Yang, what’s up with this photo?”

“Silly girl, can’t you even tell? Look here, the collarbone isn’t as pretty as yours, and the shoulders aren’t as round.”

Puppet was dumbfounded, then looked up at Bai Siyang with admiration: “Si Yang, you’re amazing. Thank you for trusting me.”

“Silly girl, honestly, at first glance, I was dizzy and a bit incredulous, but I thought our relationship is so strong, I didn’t think you’d do such a thing. You’re not that kind of person. A closer look reveals some issues.”

“Wife, lately we’ve been having strange problems out of nowhere. I know my sister has a significant impact, and I’ve been busy these days, but I’ve already got someone working on a place for her. We’ll have her move out. She’s grown up and should have her own world. I was going to wait until it was all settled before telling you. She’s my family; I’m sorry for the inconvenience caused to you.”

“Si Yang, we’re a couple, and we need to handle things together. Don’t say sorry.”

“Mm, you’re so good, wife. Quickly think now, was there anything off that you noticed?”

“Looking at this photo, it seems like the day your sister told me about you and your first love affair, I went out, then Hu Angran invited me for a late-night snack. I went, and that day I was wearing this hair clip.” Puppet pointed to the sky-blue hair clip in the photo, sparkling with embedded tiny jewels and quite expensive.

“That day I went for a snack, and Hu Angran kept urging me to drink. Then he took a cab to his complex, which seemed odd, so I called my brother for help. After sobering up, I didn’t want to go home, so I went to the bar.”

Bai Siyang also felt a pang of fear.

“Hubby, I’ve had this strange feeling; Hu Angran seems to know my every move. That time when I skipped dinner and went out, he invited me out to dinner. We had a quarrel, and when I left in the middle of the night, he invited me for a late-night snack. Isn’t it too much of a coincidence?”

Bai Siyang frowned; there really was something fishy about it now that his wife mentioned it.

Could there be a traitor in the family?
