Indeed, a chef was a chef . Ming Shu was very satisfied after the meal . On the other hand, Xia Xian found a way to deal with Ming Shu and brought her to a high-class restaurant in Green City after she finished the French cuisine .
Ming Shu told herself that she wouldn’t eat it and that she could afford it . However, when the food came, she remembered nothing .
At one in the morning, Ming Shu lay lazily in the car and sucked her yogurt drink . She muttered, “What help do you need?”
Xia Xian’s mouth twitched . It really worked .
Xia Xian sat up straight . “Just a tiny favor . I just wish to ask for Miss Wen’s help to find a person . With your connections in Green City, you are more reliable than us . ”
“When I find the person, do you need me to help you all kill him or her, too?” Ming Shu tilted her head . Loose hair blocked her eyes . “You want me to do all this for you just because you treated me? You are thinking too much . ”
Xia Xian promised, “Don’t worry, Miss Wen, when you find the person, just send someone to inform me . We will not let you get into trouble . ”
Ming Shu seemed to be considering . Or maybe she was just drinking her yogurt seriously .
After a long while, she raised her hand and waved her fingers at Xia Xian . “Five million . ”
Xia Xian: “…” Is she robbing me!
Ming Shu suddenly pushed the car door open and got down . “When you have decided, contact me . Also, please send my men back . ”
Boom!
The lady outside ran across the road . Xia Xian ordered the driver to follow her . She crossed the road and started following a person . The person was walking at a normal speed . She held her yogurt and just followed him blatantly .
The person seemed to have noticed her and turned back multiple times . However, she didn’t hide at all and just followed him like a spirit .
“Mister Xia, although we don’t have a lot of connections in Green City, we do not have to look for her help, right?” the driver suddenly said . “Wen Yi doesn’t look reliable . ”
Xia Xian tapped his knee with his fingers . He explained gently, “Green City has always been the territory of the Wen family . We are not in a good situation now . We can’t face them head on . Those people will not just sit around and wait for death . Asking Wen Yi for help is the easiest and fastest way . Her connections run through the entire ity . It is much easier for her to find a person as compared to us . ”
The driver stopped talking . When he was turning a corner, the two people in front of them suddenly disappeared .
Xia Xian frowned . “Let’s go back . Prepare the money and send it to her . ”
“Mister Xia, are you really going to give it to her? Five million!”
Xia Xian smiled coldly . “Do you think that he is not worth five million?”
The driver felt chills on the back of his neck . “I understand . ”
At this moment, in the garden…
Ming Shu followed Liang Chen . What was the fake male protagonist coming to her in the middle of the night?
And he was wearing such… weird clothes .
The tightly-clothed Liang Chen kept looking back . Because of the dim lighting, he was unable to see who was behind him . However, this person had been behind him for a long time . He didn’t think that the person just happened to walk the same path as him .
Is it some psychopathic murderer?
He wouldn’t be so unlucky, right?
Liang Chen hastened his pace and cut through the garden . When he looked back again, he realized that the person was gone . He heaved a small sigh of relief and observed the surroundings . There was no one . He quickly picked a direction .
Liang Chen reached a slightly old district . He looked around . After confirming that there was no one, he prepared to use the water pipe at the back to climb up .
However, at this moment, he turned and looked behind him . The alley was empty . There was nothing .
The person that was following him just now…
He should have asked someone to come and do this .
He didn’t lack the money . He was just afraid that other people would gather evidence on him . He trusted himself more .
Who knew that he would meet such a strange thing .
Liang Chen took a deep breath . Maybe the person was just passing by . Wasn’t there no one now?
Liang Chen convinced himself and climbed up using the water pipe . Ming Shu saw him entering a room and followed him up .
When she entered, she saw a living room . Liang Chen should have gone to the bedroom .
Ming Shu’s gaze flew past the photos in the room . This should be Ji Yue’an’s place .
Ming Shu walked to the bedroom . The door was half-closed . She saw Liang Chen standing in front of the wardrobe looking for something .
“Brother, are you stealing something?”
The sudden voice scared Liang Chen and he immediately turned around .
However, in the dark, he couldn’t see anything . He couldn’t even remember which direction the sound came from .
It was not Ji Yue’an .
It was the voice of a young woman .
“Who is it? Who is talking?”
The room was very quiet .
Liang Chen didn’t see anything .
Kacha—
The front door was pushed open from outside . Liang Chen had a shock and couldn’t care about the person who just spoke . He scanned the room . In the end, he crawled under the bed .
“Yue’an, don’t think too much . Although the Ji family dislikes you, they will not embarrass you now . ” A soft and gentle voice floated over . The light in the living room turned on .
“Yes, I know . Thank you . ” Ji Yue’an’s voice was calm . There wasn’t much emotion in it .
“Sit for a while, I will pour some water for you . You drank too much today . ” The lady’s voice was full of worry .
No sound came from outside for a while .
Liang Chen lay on the floor . He felt chills go down his back . The voice that he heard just now, who did it belong to? It was not those two people outside . Was there someone else in this room… or some ghost?
If he could be reborn, ghosts could exist .
“Hey, what are you doing here?” Someone suddenly touched his shoulder . Liang Chen’s blood froze . He turned his neck stiffly . The light from the crack beneath the door allowed him to see the person beside him .
Liang Chen’s eyes widened . Why was it her!
Ming Shu smiled with her eyes . “Such a coincidence . ”
Coincidence you head!
She was the person that was following him just now .
No, maybe she didn’t follow him . She just came to find Ji Yue’an and saw him coincidentally . That was why she followed him .
So, she already has a relationship with Ji Yue’an… but it is still not right . Right now, I don’t have any conflicts with Ji Yue’an . Why is she targeting me?
Liang Chen’s head was a mess . He lowered his voice . “What do you want?”
The light from the crack beneath the door suddenly brightened . Someone opened the door . Liang Chen saw the girl beside him smiling gently . However, she suddenly reached out and he was pushed out by force .
Liang Chen: !!!
Liang Chen tried to grab Ming Shu but a cold knife greeted his hand mercilessly .
Liang Chen let go instinctively and his body was kicked out from beneath the bed .
“Ah!”
A lady screamed .
Liang Chen covered his face and picked himself up from the floor . He pushed the lady and Ji Yue’an out of his path and rushed out of the bedroom .
Ji Yue’an had some drinks . Although his mind was clear, his legs were still weak . When he chased Liang Chen out, Liang Chen had already jumped down from the window in the living room . He ran to the window and looked down . Liang Chen had already reached the bottom and soon, he disappeared into the alley .
Ming Shu climbed out from under the bed . The lady, who hadn’t left, screamed again .
Ji Yue’an came from outside into the light . The light stung his eyes . He could make out a familiar face .
“It’s… you?”
“It’s me . ” Ming Shu patted her clothes calmly . She smiled . “It’s so dirty under your bed . Clean it up . ”
Ji Yue’an: “…” He had never seen a thief that climbed out from under the bed and said that the area was very dirty!
