Shen Shuyuan had already lost her composure.

She dared not gamble, much less lose.

She didn't want to be used as a bargaining chip to please Lu Zhiwei by her brother.

She grabbed Shen Jinmo's arm and whispered to him, "Brother, let me take you home. If you keep getting angry like this, your health will completely collapse."

A mysterious smile spread across Shen Jinmo's deathly pale face.

He slowly withdrew his hand from Shen Shuyuan's and looked at Lu Zhiwei, saying, "You don't show me any affection, yet you expect me to. Lu Zhiwei, you're being far too hypocritical."

The atmosphere in the office was frozen solid.

Shen Shuyuan breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Knowing her brother's temperament, she knew that when he was angry, he wouldn't do as Lu Zhiwei wanted and expose her.

"Since President Shen is unwilling to disclose this information, please leave." Lu Zhiwei turned her back, issuing an order to leave.

His aloof figure exuded a sense of oppression.

It's not surprising that he would choose to protect Shen Shuyuan.

Shen Shuyuan's case involves the reputation of the Shen family, so how could he easily push Shen Shuyuan onto the trial table?

Shen Shuyuan gazed intently at Shen Jinmo and urged him again, "Brother, let's go."

She wished she could drag him straight out of the office as soon as possible.

Shen Jinmo's deep eyes coldly swept over Shen Shuyuan.

Then, with a determined look, he turned to Lu Zhiwei and said, "You underestimate my feelings for you. You want me to become your weapon, then I will be the sharpest weapon."

These words made Lu Zhiwei slowly turn her head.

Immediately afterwards, Shen Jingmo pointed to Shen Shuyuan: "Shuyuan gave me the mask."

"Brother!!!" Shen Shuyuan shouted anxiously, her gentle face turning into a stormy sea.

From childhood to adulthood.

She revered him as a god.

But instead of protecting her, the gods threw her true feelings to the ground and trampled them into mud.

Lu Zhiwei and Luo Wuyan, standing to the side, crossed their arms in unison and watched the show quietly.

From then on, in this world...

Another woman has been heartbroken by Shen Jinmo.

“Tell her honestly where this mask came from.” Shen Jinmo knew that Lu Zhiwei wanted to test Shen Shuyuan, so he would help her to the end.

“I…” Shen Shuyuan lowered her eyes, her heart feeling as if it were being squeezed by an invisible hand.

She was choked so hard she couldn't breathe, and blood even spilled out; the pain was so intense she could barely breathe.

“I asked a friend to buy it from the black market. I knew you really wanted this mask, so I went to great lengths to find it. Just because it’s a fake, am I guilty? I lied too, I’m a victim too.” Shen Shuyuan spoke eloquently, as if she had prepared her story in advance.

She would have taken out this ghost mask without having prepared a foolproof escape route beforehand.

What truly broke her heart was Shen Jinmo.

Lu Zhiwei had guessed that she would make such a refusal.

"Judging from the style of the mask, it's very similar to your own style. Could the friend you mentioned be yourself?" Lu Zhiwei had no intention of letting her get away unscathed, her words sharp and relentless.

"How could that be? I'm not that capable. Besides, making masks isn't my area of ​​expertise. The reason our styles are similar is because my friend is an alumnus of my school, and we have similar learning styles."

"Could you introduce me to your friend? She's very skilled at making masks, and I'd like to exchange some tips with her."

Shen Shuyuan calmly took out her phone, scrolled through her contacts, found Donnie's number, and handed it to Lu Zhiwei: "Okay, his name is Donnie, he's a classmate of mine who studied abroad in the same year."

I heard the name Downey again.

Lu Zhiwei reflexively opened her eyes wide.

I glanced at it and memorized the phone number.

After a moment of silence, Shen Jingmo's face darkened instantly. He took the phone from Shen Shuyuan's hand and glanced at the contact name in her address book: "The Tang Ni you mentioned, is it Tang Ni, the chief designer of the jewelry design department of Shen's Group?"

“Yes, didn’t I want to go to Shen’s to take this position? But when I heard that the person who was ultimately hired was Donnie, the best student in our class, I stopped thinking about it.”

Shen Jinmo was deeply impressed by Tang Ni. He was a highly talented jewelry designer and a foreign graduate hired by the Shen Group after Qin Hai's death.

“Since he is an employee of President Shen’s company, then I would like to trouble President Shen to arrange a meeting with him and say that I would like to ask him for advice.” Lu Zhiwei did not expect that Shen Shuyuan would pave such a smooth way out for her.

She couldn't even find any suspicious points to identify her.

However, things seem to be getting more and more interesting.

Shen Shuyuan shifted all her attacks to Donnie.

She was eager to experience Donnie's charm firsthand.

"Lu Zhiwei, you sold me out, and now I'm supposed to help you count the money?" Shen Jinmo clenched his fists, his eyes filled with anger.

His tolerance for Lu Zhiwei is getting higher and higher, breaking records time and time again.

"If Mr. Shen refuses, then so be it. I think it's just a matter of making a phone call." Lu Zhiwei turned around. "I have a meeting, so I'll have to keep you company for now. Anyway, thank you Mr. Shen for the mask you gave me today. I will cherish it."

"I'll arrange it for you, okay? If you're going to ask me out, I'll be half as eager as any other man."

Reluctantly, Shen Jinmo took out his phone and immediately called Donnie.

The dinner was arranged at the Jinye Hotel.

It was evening.

After getting off work, Lu Zhiwei took Luo Wuyan with her to the dinner party.

A silver Ferrari was parked in front of the hotel.

Shen Jinmo, dressed in a casual suit, sat in the hotel lobby, seemingly waiting for her.

Luo Wuyan went to park the car, while Lu Zhiwei went into the lobby first.
