Shen Wan smiled briefly, and only then did Zhou Chi notice the sweet dimples on her cheeks.

She replied, "It's nothing, just that certain assumptions require concrete evidence."

Thinking she might have a suspicion, Zhou Chi responded, "Alright, I'll start reverse tracing now, but I can't guarantee success."

"Give it a try." Her tone was indifferent as if she didn't care, but her eyes gleamed with a cold light, sending shivers down his spine.

Zhou Chi immediately started, his fingers flying across the keyboard at a pace much faster than before. Lines of code materialized on the screen in sizable sections.

Although Shen Wan couldn't understand it, she remained fully focused.

Zhou Chi couldn't help stealing glances at her, curiosity in his eyes, but he was caught in the act.

"Focus." She reminded him sternly.

"Uh... right."

In the span of half an hour, Zhou Chi suddenly sighed, leaned back in his chair, and said, "Done! Take a look."

The screen displayed something that resembled a map. Intricate black lines intersected across the image, accompanied by a scale indicated at the bottom left corner. Among these intricate lines, a prominent red line emerged, with a moving blue dot marking its trajectory.

"... An aviation route map?" Shen Wan raised an eyebrow.

"How did you know?!" Zhou Chi looked surprised. He knew that this wasn't a traditional aviation route; instead, it was a creation based on his own set of habitual composition rules.

Until this moment, he would have bet that no one else, besides himself, could comprehend it.

Yet Shen Wan seemed to comprehend.

It was as if she understood him in every aspect, inside and out.

And this sensation wasn't novel—it felt as if they had been acquainted for a significant period, to the point where Shen Wan knew every aspect of him.

But no matter how much Zhou Chi racked his brain, he couldn't unearth a single memory related to her.

"So, I guessed right," the young woman chuckled.

Was it merely a "guess"? Zhou Chi wondered silently.

"Utilizing the Duch virus to track the output terminal that infiltrated the source and acquired location data isn't a challenging deduction. It's another phone, and the phone's owner is currently journeying southwest at a speed of 950 kilometers per hour, bound for..." His voice trailed off momentarily, and Zhou Chi resumed typing on the keyboard. Soon, he had the answer: "Beihai."

Shen Wan's gaze flickered, but she wasn't too surprised.

When she was on the phone with Shen Qian, she faintly heard him reporting flight information on his end, which led her to a certain suspicion.

The only thing she didn't know was where he was planning to go.

Now that was clear.

It was actually Beihai...

Beihai was located along the eastern coast of the Beibu Gulf, positioned among Huaxia's 14 coastal open cities. Known for its pleasant climate and comfortable surroundings, it held a significant place in Shen Qian's endeavors. The "Seaside Resort" project he had pioneered not only stood as a lucrative asset for Tian Shui Real Estate, but it would also emerge as a steadfast pillar in the forthcoming struggle for dominance over Mingda Group.

In their previous life, Shen Wan and Shen Qian had clashed in intense conflicts, comprehending each other's strengths and vulnerabilities. This led her to delve into a deep study of Shen Qian. She familiarized herself with his personality, likes and dislikes, life experiences, entrepreneurial endeavors, and even his circle of friends and past relationships, along with his idiosyncrasies. She gained an intimate understanding of him.

Naturally, she understood the significance of the Beihai project to Shen Qian and how big a role it would play in the future.

Forewarned is forearmed. Considering this, if she didn't seize this opportunity, how could she justify the precious second chance at life that fate had granted her?

Zhou Chi asked, "Now you should know who that person is, right?"

"I'm aware." Shen Wan's smile grew more pronounced. "I've known all along."

However, her speculations waiting for confirmation appeared to extend beyond this point. However, currently, the more important aspects were evident.

Beihai was certainly an attractive opportunity.

It made her want a piece of the pie too...
