"Hello, Mrs. Qiao, may I ask where the CEO is?"
The person on the other end of the phone asked urgently.
"He's not here. What did you just say about the mastermind?"
Mai Xiaomai inquired.
"Well..."
The detective on the other end hesitated, "It's not convenient to talk to you about it. Since the CEO isn't around, forget it. I'll call him later. Goodbye."
With that, he hung up the phone.
Mai Xiaomai glanced at her phone, memorized the phone number, then deleted the caller ID, and put the phone back in its place.
She took her own phone and walked out to the riverside outside to dial the detective's number.
"Hello, I am Qiao Chutian's wife."
Mai Xiaomai said directly.
"Is there anything else Mrs. Qiao would like to discuss?"
The detective's tone was full of doubt and caution.
"I know what you meant by the mastermind earlier. Is it related to my husband's birth mother's car accident?"
"This... you know that too?"
"Yes."
