Mei Shu felt somewhat surprised and asked friendly with her head tilted, “How did you know?”

The policeman replied, “I have a friend who works at the Tax Bureau. A few days ago when we were having dinner, I heard about this matter. However, I don’t know much about it. 1 just vaguely heard him say that someone wants to harm you. Since we’re meeting now, and seeing that Miss Mei doesn’t seem like a major villain, I thought I’d kindly remind you to be careful recently.”

Mei Shu quickly stopped him, “Officer, you can’t just say half of it. Since you’ve mentioned it, why not reveal a little more? I also want to know who might be detrimental to the Mei Corporation at this time.”

The policeman shrugged, “1 really only know this much, and besides, it’s also confidential information from the Tax Bureau. But I can give you my friend’s contact information, and you can have a chat with him. My friend has seen the news about you before and has a favorable impression of you, always wanting to meet you.”

“That would be my honor,” Mei Shu said, directly having Tang Mei fetch her business card and providing her personal contact information.

The policeman didn’t reach out to take the business card. “I don’t want to be the middleman in this matter, nor do I want too much interaction with people in the business world. Just wait a moment; let me find my friend’s phone number.”

After saying that, he actually opened his phone and flipped through his contacts. Then he read a string of numbers to Mei Shu, “Here it is. You can treat it as if you found it yourself. Please don’t mention that I told you.”

“Alright, thank you very much. I understand that you may not want too much involvement with me, so I won’t disturb you much. But if there’s anything I can help with in the future, please be sure to contact me or my secretary. Mei Corporation will do its best to assist the police in any way possible.”

Mei Shu promised with a smile.

The policeman then formally bid her farewell.

It was evident that he intended to develop his insider connections in the business world. However, his current position didn’t allow him to make it too obvious. But just obtaining Mei Shu’s promise was enough for now.

Even without mentioning the relationship between Mei Shu and Lu Si, Mei Shu’s words, as the CEO of Mei Corporation, carried weight.

After seeing off the policeman, Mei Shu immediately instructed Tang Mei to investigate the owner of the phone number. Soon, she received a reply. “President Mei, the registered owner of the phone number has been identified. The name of the owner is Li Si, who is the secretary of Director Wang at the Tax Bureau.”

Mei Shu sprang up from her chair.

She was extremely familiar with this name.

In her previous life, she chased after Li Zhen, thinking she would marry him. But she had also tried to please Li Si. However, in the end, Li Si colluded with Li Zhen to deceive her. While enjoying the benefits of being a lady of the Mei family, Li Si secretly helped Li Zhen conceal his underground affair with Mei Mu.

If it hadn’t been for Li Si’s constant deception, perhaps she would have had the chance to see through Li Zhen’s true colors earlier in her previous life!

“President Mei, are you alright? Do you know this person?” Tang Mei felt worried seeing her pale face and hurriedly helped her sit back on the chair.

Mei Shu shook her head, “It’s nothing. I will personally meet with this person. You can go and attend to your own affairs for now.”

“Alright, President Mei. If you need anything, please don’t hesitate to call me.” Tang Mei still seemed somewhat concerned. She filled her glass with water before leaving.

Mei Shu picked up her phone, illuminated the screen with the phone number, and stared at it for a while before dialing.

“Hello? Mr. Li, this is Mei Shu. 1 have something I’d like to discuss with you privately. Are you available?”

Five o’clock in the afternoon, at the Enjoyment Western Restaurant.

Mei Shu arrived one minute earlier than Li Si.

They met at the bar, and the moment Mei Shu saw Li Si, she couldn’t help but feel that Li Si was no different from his previous life.

He still had that hypocritical appearance, neatly dressed, making it hard to find any flaws.

But no one knew better than Mei Shu that although Li Si appeared to be a public servant on the surface, he was greedy behind the scenes, taking advantage of his position to gain substantial benefits, more greedy than anyone else.

Dealing with such a person, one must be prepared to offer substantial benefits; otherwise, it would be very difficult to pry anything out of him.

“Are you two together?” The waiter warmly greeted them and invited them to sit at a nearby table in the lobby.

Mei Shu raised her hand to stop him, keeping her eyes on Li Si, “Take us to a private room. I want a cup of Americano. What about you, Mr. Li?”

“Just the same as Miss Mei,” Li Si replied meaningfully, returning her gaze.

The two were escorted into a private booth in the cafe, shutting the door behind them to completely shut out the outside noise.

Mei Shu smiled, “Mr. Li, please have a seat. It’s our first meeting, and I initially wanted to book a better spot for our meal. But I understand your distinguished status; it might be inconvenient outside. This cafe’s private booths have good soundproofing, and the steaks are top-notch. I believe they’ll suit your taste.” “Miss Mei is thoughtful, knowing that 1 prefer Western cuisine,” Li Si said, setting down his briefcase and sitting upright on the sofa. “Actually, I’ve been wanting to make acquaintances with Miss Mei for a while now, but there just hasn’t been an opportunity. Looks like today is my lucky day..”
