Chapter 105: 105 Ruthless and Unjust_1

However, last night while stalking Little Juanmao, he discovered that someone was trying to kill Little Juanmao.

He didn’t want to see Little Juanmao get killed and in a moment of panic, he stepped in to help. However, he was unexpectedly kicked down a slope.

Recalling what happened last night, Shen Yishu was still somewhat shaken.

“Are you sure they were trying to kill Little Juanmao and not you?”

“Yes! Those two guys had been following Little Juanmao for a long time… When I was sitting in the café across the street, they were sitting right next to me. As soon as Little Juanmao came out of the car, they began whispering about not letting Little Juanmao escape… I’m sure of what I heard; they were after Little Juanmao. Also, if I hadn’t stepped in to help Little Juanmao, they wouldn’t have attacked me.”

Shen Yishu’s words made me finally understand.

Was Gu Yuanzhou trying to kill Little Juanmao?

“Why Little Juanmao, why would he want to kill Little Juanmao?”

I could not understand.

Shen Yishu said,

“Could it be that Little Juanmao had lied to you before? Maybe the truth is not as he told you.”

“You mean to say, Damaha didn’t really steal anything?”

“It’s possible!”

“It seems, I need to have another talk with Little Juanmao! Listen, after you were injured, what happened to Little Juanmao? How badly was he hurt?”

“He fell down the slope just like me! I’ll go back to the slope tomorrow and look for him.”

Just as Shen Yishu finished speaking, Ding Yinuo interjected,

“You have a concussion and need to rest in bed. You may also need to go to the hospital for a brain CT scan.”

“Alright, Mr. Ding!”

Shen Yishu was surprisingly obedient to Ding Yinuo’s words, showing tremendous respect.

“I will send someone to look for him later! From now on, there’s no need for you to follow Gu Yuanzhou’s case anymore. I will pay you in full later.”

Ding Yinuo’s words left me slightly stunned.

What did he mean by ‘the money that needs to be paid’?

Looking at my shocked face, Shen Yishu explained,

“The person who hired me to monitor all of this was Mr. Ding.”

“Huh?!”

I suddenly realized, and glared at Ding Yinuo,

“Are you sick? You could have told me earlier! If you had told me Shen Yishu was the one you hired, I wouldn’t have pleaded for your help to save him!”

Ding Yinuo just smiled and didn’t reply.

That smug expression annoyed me so I kicked him.

Shen Yishu was rather quiet.

“Let me try one more time, Mr. Ding. I believe I can solve this case.”

I pulled up a chair and sat down, calmly speaking to him.

“You’ve done everything you could. Going forward, it’s not appropriate for you to be involved in this matter anymore. Of course, I have other tasks for you.”

“I want Ye Mengyan to see clearly what kind of man she is fond of.”

Shen Yishu was still persistent.

“You won’t need to do that. I believe it won’t be long before she sees it for herself.”

Shen Yishu still seemed somewhat reluctant to give up.

Ding Yinuo patted his shoulder,

“You should thank Sister Song. After all this, she might give you a promotion.”

A glimmer of light finally appeared in Shen Yishu’s eyes,

“Thank you, Sis…err… Xiaoyun.”

He couldn’t bring himself to address me as ‘Sister’.

Because in his eyes, I’m only a couple of years older than him, practically his peer, and he refused to call me ‘sister’.

“You can’t call me ‘sister’?”

Ding Yinuo emphasized again knowingly.

In his view, ‘sister’ denotes a difference in seniority.

But Shen Yishu flushed slightly, yet he still couldn’t bring himself to call me ‘sister’.

I pushed Ding Yinuo away,

“Stop messing around! He’s heartbroken. Stop making things worse.”

Ding Yinuo crossed his arms, looking somewhat loving.

“A man will always find a wife, heartbreak is nothing! If you lose a tree, there’s still a whole forest.”

“Healing emotional wounds takes time…”

Noon.

Wenya and Su Peisheng helped prepare lunch.

Using hot pot ingredients they bought from the supermarket, along with fish balls, lamb rolls, beef rolls, and vegetables.

Everyone gathered for a hot pot meal.

After lunch, Ding Yinuo drove Shen Yishu to the hospital for a brain scan.

Wenya, meanwhile, was on the couch, video chatting with Jian Jing.

In the video, I heard a woman nagging, so I asked Jian Jing what was happening.

Jian Jing sighed,

“It’s my mother-in-law. She’s unhappy about the wedding costing tens of thousands, and she’s been grumbling non-stop. She even cried last night, saying I’ve been bullying her ever since I got married. She says her son neglects her now that he has a wife. It’s so frustrating.”

Wenya said, “She’s just causing a scene. Ignore her. Let her cry if she wants to. The wedding’s over and it’s too late for her to back out now.”

“Yeah, I’m not going to bother about it. Tomorrow, I’ll go back to my parent’s house and stay there a few more days before coming back.”

After thinking for a while, I asked, “Jian Jing, isn’t this house yours?”

“Yes, it is!”

“If you really can’t stand it, kick her out! Some people only understand force. You shouldn’t put up with it!”

“Alright, I know! You guys don’t need to worry about me!”

After hanging up the video call, Su Peisheng started lecturing Wenya again, “Do you realize you’re inciting crime? If anything happens to her, she could sue you.”

Wenya was enraged, “Su Fagun! Could you shut up for once? This is my bestie’s issue, what’s it got to do with you?”

“Woman, I’m trying to give you advice! Good intentions can sometimes lead to bad results! You have to be smarter!”

“Fine, you’re the only smart one in the world. Everyone else is a fool, are you satisfied?”

While these two were quarrelling, Ding Yinuo returned with Shen Yishu.

“I’m okay…”

I sighed in relief, “Any news about Little Juanmao?”

“No response yet, probably later!”

I nodded, “Shen Yishu, come with me, I have something to discuss with you.”

I pulled Shen Yishu into the study, and Ding Yinuo followed, “Can I sit in on this? Please?”

“No, this is a secret between him and me. Nobody else can hear!”

“Xiaoyun, don’t go too far! This is my house, and you’re saying I can’t listen?”

“Yes, you can’t!”

I grabbed Ding Yinuo by the collar and shoved him out the door.

He still refused to leave, leaning on the door frame and looking at me, “I thought we had a special bond!!”

“Hmm, that’s what you thought. You’re wrong! Ding Yinuo, we’re still at odds, so you’d better stay away!”

He seemed to be offended by my words, let go of the door and walked away.

I closed the door, took a deep breath, and calmed myself down.

“Xiaoyun, what did you want to discuss?”

Unable to contain his curiosity, Shen Yishu finally asked.

“I want to work on a big project with you!”
