Chapter 3: Meeting the Ex-Boyfriend

Ye Shuyi looked closely and saw someone standing in front of the door.

Looks a little familiar.

Isn't that my cheap ex-boyfriend? Why is he here?

Could it be that he was taking revenge on me after the breakup?

"You have great skills, girl." said the man.

"Bah! I'd have already thrown you away, OK?"

The man looked much more haggard than Ye Shuyi remembered, with no flesh on his cheeks and grayish-blue eyes.

Ye Shuyi almost didn't recognize him. She certainly didn't think that this was because the gambler was heartbroken after a breakup. It must be because of irregular sleep and staying up late.

"Tsk. You're beautiful again after we broke up. Just looking at you makes my mouth water." He showed a lewd expression.

"What are you going to do?" Ye Shuyi took a step back and looked towards the door.

"Don't be alarmed. Do you want to know how to save your father?" The man's words suddenly stopped Ye Shuyi.

"Yes. What are your conditions?"

This man would definitely not tell me this for nothing.

"Twenty thousand."

"You might as well go and rob it!" Ye Shuyi said speechlessly.

This guy is asking for too much!

"Don't agree? There's nothing to talk about now." The man said and was about to leave.

"Hey, wait a minute," Ye Shuyi called out. "It's not that I can't. Tell me some clues first."

She had a vague suspicion that her ex-boyfriend had placed the poisonous mushrooms in the shop as revenge.

But now it seems that it is not the case.

The man turned around and said, "Someone framed your father. The troublemaker this morning said your shrimp weren't fresh to attract everyone's attention. Then, another group of people sent the mushrooms in."

Ye Shuyi was surprised for a moment.

It turned out to be a feint to the east and attack in the west.

But his father is an honest and upright man who has never offended anyone. How could he be retaliated against in this way?

Seeing her frown, the man took the opportunity to blackmail her: "Okay, I've told you part of the story. You have to pay for the rest."

Ye Shuyi hugged the child tightly and said, "I don't have that much money right now. Please give me some time to raise some money."

"Okay. Three days. Meet at the place where we first met in three days, at three o'clock. Also, don't tell Sir, otherwise, your father will be in danger."

"No problem." Ye Shuyi agreed readily.

After he left, Ye Shuyi immediately returned to the playground. Only when she saw Xiaozhi and the people coming and going did she feel relieved.

"How is it?" Chen Nanfeng asked.

On the way back, Ye Shuyi kept thinking about whether to tell Chen Nanfeng about this.

If I tell him, what if my dad is in danger, just like my ex-boyfriend said? If I don't tell him, do I really have to raise 20,000 yuan to buy him information that can't be guaranteed to be true?

It’s really a headache.

Ye Shuyi remained silent and only said that her ex-boyfriend wanted to take revenge on her and was now gone.

"Oh, your ex-boyfriend is still thinking about you?" Chen Nanfeng suddenly lowered his head and looked into her eyes.

Ye Shuyi was thinking about something absent-mindedly and was startled by the sudden handsome face.

"He is thinking of harming me!" Ye Shuyi curled her lips.

Chen Nanfeng suddenly thought this little expression was a little cute and wanted to tease her. As soon as this thought came to his mind, Chen Nanfeng was secretly surprised and retracted his hand.

"Is there any progress on my dad's matter? Mr. is on vacation today?" Ye Shuyi changed the subject.

"There's some progress. I'm not on duty today." Chen Nanfeng thought about this, his tone a little heavy. "The poisonous mushrooms in your father's shop are not ordinary poisonous mushrooms, but... drugs, customs contraband."

Ye Shuyi was silent.

She said awkwardly, "I know."

The elementary school activities were almost over, so it was time to go home. Chen Nanfeng asked them where they lived and offered to give them a ride.

"Nine Dragons."

The car moved forward smoothly, and Ye Shuyi was in a state of confusion.

When they got home, Xiaozhi blinked her innocent eyes and asked, "Sister, what happened to Dad?"

Ye Shuyi hesitated for a moment, thinking that she had forgotten to avoid Xiaozhi when talking to Chen Nanfeng just now.

"He went to visit a relative."

"Which relative?"

"Oh, don't ask so many questions. He will be back soon."

Ye Zhiyi had no choice but to stop asking and go do her homework.

With three days left, Ye Shuyi should think about what to do.

My ex-boyfriend lives in Mong Kok, which is a bustling place with many restaurants and snack shops.

She decided to go in secretly to look for some clues.

When she arrived at the place, she was told by the neighbors that her ex-boyfriend and his family had not lived there for several days.

Ye Shuyi was about to go home, but saw a familiar car at the intersection.

She just took this bus at noon!

Who else could it be? Chen Nanfeng.

Ye Shuyi didn't expect that he would come too. Was it a coincidence, or did he get some news?

She walked over and knocked on the car window.

The car window slid down, revealing a handsome man in a suit and sunglasses.

Chen Nanfeng pulled up his sunglasses, revealing a pair of bright peach blossom eyes. When he saw Ye Shuyi, he wanted to laugh.

The two of them are really destined to be together.

He pushed his sunglasses back up, looking very handsome, like a male star in the Hong Kong circle.

He smiled, revealing a small canine tooth, and patted the passenger seat: "Get in."

Ye Shuyi walked around to the other side, opened the car door and got in.

"Do you know Su Baiqiang?" Chen Nanfeng asked directly.

Su Baiqiang, this is the name of Ye Shuyi's ex-boyfriend.

It seems that he came here not by chance, but specifically to wait for someone.

"Ex-boyfriend." Ye Shuyi did not hide it.

Chen Nanfeng tapped the steering wheel with his bony hands and quickly sorted out his thoughts.

The person who came to see Ye Shuyi in the morning was also Su Baiqiang.

"There's something you didn't tell me, Miss Ye." The words sounded a little aggrieved.

Ye Shuyi had no choice. It was no longer possible to hide the matter at this point, so she confessed everything.

"Okay. I don't think Su Baiqiang is the mastermind. We can find the man behind the scenes through him. Then, your father will be able to come out." Chen Nanfeng said.

The two agreed that when Ye Shuyi and Su Baiqiang met three days later, plainclothes police would follow them.

Ye Shuyi did not get out of the car. She took Chen Nanfeng's Toyota Corolla E90 to the police station and bailed her father out.

If there is no direct evidence within 24 hours, the suspect must be released. There are no fingerprints of Ye Junhui or Ye Shuyi on the mushrooms.

No fingerprints, to be exact.

The perpetrator was very cautious and should have used gloves.

Ye Shuyi was sitting in the hall waiting for someone, and soon she saw Chen Nanfeng leading his father out.

After not seeing each other for one night, Ye Junhui looked much older, like an eggplant hit by frost, listless, with a few more white hairs.

"Dad, don't worry, it's okay." Ye Shuyi comforted.

"Yes. We will definitely find the mastermind behind this later, please rest assured." Chen Nanfeng said.

Ye Junhui's expression looked better.

Ye Shuyi saw a man in a white coat walking towards her, and he looked familiar.

"Nuo, why are you taking the initiative to work overtime?" The man patted Chen Nanfeng on the shoulder.

"Never mind. Go write your autopsy report!"

Ye Shuyi remembered that this person had come to her restaurant to eat, Li Yunjiang.
