Jiang Jianian knew Ye Zhiwei's personality; she could send him a bunch of messages whenever she was free. By the time he had a chance to see them, Ye Zhiwei had already sent a series of messages.

Ye Zhiwei herself had changed the nickname on Jiang Jianian's profile picture using his phone, and there were already more than a dozen red dots on it.

Super Invincible Beauty: My cousin was called away by Qin Manshu to help, and I was arranged to rest in the lounge.

Super Invincible Beauty: Isn't it strange? Although Sister Manshu's eyes were red the whole time, I inexplicably felt that she didn't seem very sad. Oh well, never mind, let's not make assumptions without evidence.

Super Invincible Beauty: I'm all alone in the lounge. I'm tired of playing on my phone. My dear Jia Nian brother~~~ Are you busy right now? Dad is definitely trying to take advantage of you as free labor, and he even has the audacity to say it's so that you can better manage and develop IV in the future. I know all that.

Super Invincible Beautiful Girl: I'm a little unsure what to do.

...

Then came a barrage of cutesy emojis.

Finally, Ye Zhiwei sent a message: An annoying person came to my lounge.

She didn't say anything more after that, but there was actually a recording, which contained Duan Meiyuan's words, those uncomfortable sentences.

Super Invincible Beauty: Hehe, like mother, like son.

Then she continued to send: I want to change to a different rest room. I don't want to be with them. I feel so tired when I hear Yu Jingchen's mother nagging and acting like her family is so great.

This was the last message she sent.

Normally, given Ye Zhiwei's personality, she would have informed Jiang Jianian about changing rest rooms, even though she was so bored. But the communication just happened to stop at this moment.

On Jiang Jianian's side, there was only news of Ye Zhiwei, Yu Jingchen, and Duan Meiyuan getting into a dispute, and then there was no further news of them.

This already indicates that something has definitely gone wrong.

His first action was to call Ji Shuli.

Ji Shuli had no idea that her little cousin had an accident. In fact, just now when she was helping out, a staff member pushing a cart accidentally dropped some white cloth on the ground, and it was Ji Shuli who stopped the staff member and helped her straighten the white cloth.

He even jokingly asked the staff, "What's in here? Why did you bring in a bunch of things and then take out such a big box?"

The staff didn't know exactly what was inside, but they politely said to Ji Shuli, "We don't know exactly what's inside either, but it seems to be porcelain or something. I guess too many people have sent these today, and the cemetery can't hold them all, so they asked us to take them out first. Sir, we'll continue with our work, otherwise the people waiting outside to receive the packages will probably get impatient."

Ji Shuli had a vague premonition of something bad. He stared at the box for a while, and there was nothing strange about what the other person said. He smiled and thought he was probably overthinking it. He waved his hand and let them leave.

He figured it was almost time, and Qin Manshu was nowhere to be seen. Just as he was thinking of asking Qin Manshu about his little cousin, Jiang Jianian called.

He asked directly, "Where is Ye Zhiwei?"

"Little cousin? You're asking me where she is?" Ji Shuli was both amused and exasperated. "Why don't you just call your little cousin?"

Jiang Jianian remained silent.

Ji Shuli had a vague premonition of something bad. "My little cousin's phone isn't going through?"

Jiang Jianian did not speak.

Ji Shuli was also anxious at this moment, "No, why can't I get through to my little cousin on the phone? Is the signal bad on her end?"

Subconsciously, he didn't think anything would happen to Ye Zhiwei. After all, they were in the cemetery, and there were people around. Unless Ye Zhiwei left on her own, it would inevitably arouse suspicion.

His first reaction was to rule out Qin Manshu. After all, Qin Manshu was the host, and if something happened to Ye Zhiwei here, it would be more troublesome for her. Besides, Qin Manshu and Ye Zhiwei had no grudges against each other, so Qin Manshu would definitely not do anything to Ye Zhiwei. After sensing the suppressed silence on Jiang Jianian's side, Ji Shuli asked, "Otherwise, I'll ask Qin Manshu. She was the one who arranged the rest room for my little cousin."

Qin Manshu really shouldn't have done anything to Ye Zhiwei; there was no motive or reason. But Jiang Jianian could sense that this matter was inextricably linked to her. He wasn't wrong about his guess. Instead, he directly ordered, "After you see Qin Manshu, try to stall her and prevent her from leaving. I'm going there right now."

Ji Shuli immediately went everywhere to look for Qin Manshu.

After dealing with Madam Qin's people, Qin Manshu knew that she had reached a dead end. Her first reaction after dealing with Madam Qin was to call Jiang Shichu.

She asked Jiang Shichu to handle these messes.

Qin Manshu didn't even explain anything to Jiang Shichu; she simply said, "I'm not feeling well."

"Not feeling well?" It was a very clumsy lie, but Jiang Shichu still believed it. He pressed, "What's wrong? Manshu, what's wrong—"

"Please help me, help me handle what's going on, help me clean up this mess..." That's what she told Jiang Shichu. "You'll help me, won't you?"

"You need to tell me what happened first."

Silence, silence, silence.

Qin Manshu said again, "No matter what, you will help me, right? You will help me, right? Shichu, you are all I have left."

She said it again.

Her tone was pleading, and when Jiang Shichu pressed her for more information, she refused to say a word.

Qin Manshu ruined Jiang Shichu's life.

Even though Jiang Shichu had a vague idea that Qin Manshu's intentions might not be good, he knew that if he agreed to Qin Manshu's repeated pleas, he would likely face a lot of trouble.

But Qin Manshu kept pleading, even saying, "This is the last time I'm begging you to help me."

She has gradually led herself into a dead end.

She hadn't planned for things to happen so quickly, but since things had come to this point, she had no choice but to take the risk, even though she knew that once Ye Zhiwei was involved, things were no longer as simple as she had imagined.

She couldn't get away from it.

She sought Jiang Shichu's help because she knew that only Jiang Shichu was willing to help her, even if her request was somewhat cruel.

Jiang Shichu agreed, and when Ji Shuli went to find Qin Manshu again, almost no one knew where Qin Manshu was, and the funeral arrangements were naturally handled by Jiang Shichu.

No one found it strange, after all, the Jiang family had always been subordinate to the Qin family, and no one thought there was a problem with Jiang Shichu saying that he would handle the rest for the time being.

When Ji Shuli couldn't find Qin Manshu for a long time and Qin Manshu's phone was switched off, he finally realized that something was wrong.

When Jiang Jianian arrived, Ji Shuli had already asked, "Do you suspect that this matter is related to Qin Manshu? What grudge does she have with my younger cousin, and what is she going to do to her?"

Jiang Jianian looked at Ji Shuli and, instead of answering Ji Shuli's question, asked directly, "Where is Qin Manshu?"
