Li Xiang had already assumed that Li Wenna was using a fake ID. She rented an apartment with a fake ID and likely her job credentials were also fake. However, it was unclear why she needed to use a fake ID. Moreover, when Li Wenna went missing, her workplace didn't report it to the police.
"I've looked into it as well. Her boss said that Li Wenna's work was quite unstable. She had worked at several nearby bathhouses and was somewhat well-known in her circle for quitting jobs after short stints. Everyone was used to her behavior, so when she disappeared this time, they thought she had just switched jobs again. She still had over six thousand in unpaid wages, but since she didn't come to claim it, the boss didn't bother to pursue her, which worked out well because no one was around to ask for the payout."
Qiu Cang clearly held disdain for the boss's behavior, but there was nothing he could do; society was just like that these days, and such practices had become the norm.
