Chapter 144 Settling Accounts with Shi Jingsheng

Shi Jingsheng returned home very late and sat alone at the dining table eating his meal.

Aunt Zhang would ask a few questions every now and then.

"Are you tired at the company? Did you have lunch?"

"Aunt Zhang, I'm so tired, extremely tired. I only ate a little bit for lunch."

"You only ate a little? That won't do. No matter how tired you are, you still need to eat. Sigh, I wonder if the young master is still angry, and whether the young lady will be able to have dinner tonight?"

Shi Jingsheng keenly caught those words.

"Are you angry? Didn't you eat? What's wrong? What happened between the two of them?"

Aunt Zhang briefly recounted what she had seen that day to the man, and Shi Jingsheng immediately stopped eating and went to find Zhao Ming.

Zhao Ming definitely knew where the basement was, and at that moment, Zhao Ming had already hidden in the room.

He had just seen Young Master Jing Sheng return, and he was so frightened that he quickly hid. If Young Master Jing Sheng knew what had happened today, he would definitely interrogate him.

Shi Jingsheng kept thinking about this as he went up the stairs, wondering how things were going for the two of them.

He suddenly thought of the carefree rich kids around him. They especially liked keeping women, and many of them had sadistic tendencies. Some women couldn't stand it and would run away. If they were caught, they would be whipped.

Shi Jingsheng had personally witnessed them whipping women, who were covered in blood and kneeling on the ground begging for mercy.

He dared not think about it anymore. Although he knew that Mo Ziyuan would never do such a thing, Shi Jingsheng really didn't want Lin Yiluo to suffer any injustice.

When he first met Lin Yiluo, he only regarded her as his brother's sister and nothing special. But as they spent more time together, he began to see her more and more as his own sister. The girl was like an angel, innocent and naive, the kind of girl who could easily be bullied.

Thinking this to himself, he quickened his pace; he needed to find Zhao Ming as soon as possible.

When he arrived at the door, he patted it. Zhao Ming hadn't expected that Young Master Jing Sheng could find him so quickly.

The door opened, and he immediately called out.

"Young Master Jing Sheng, it's so late, is there something you need?"

“That basement is over there.”

"Basement? What is Young Master Jing Sheng talking about? I don't understand."

The man got angry when he saw Zhao Ming like this. To Shi Jingsheng, Zhao Ming had now become the bad guy who was preventing him from saving his sister, and a stumbling block on his way to save her.

"Tell me right now. Zhao Ming, you know me. Your young master and I are brothers who have gone through thick and thin together. If you don't tell me today, you'd better think about what I'll say to your young master tomorrow."

It's so hard being a worker; you not only have to watch out for your rivals, but also be wary of your boss's friends.

"Young master, please don't make things difficult for me."

“I’m not making things difficult for you. If you tell me now, I can lie to Ziyuan and say that I found it myself. But if you don’t tell me, then I can only send people to search this manor thoroughly.”

"Then I'll tell Young Master Jing Sheng, but please don't tell anyone."

"Don't worry, just tell me."

Having obtained the location, Shi Jingsheng rushed there without stopping. He arrived at the door quickly, took a deep breath, and then knocked.

Lin Yiluo was crying inside; her whole body was red. Mo Ziyuan had been bullying her.

The little girl's eyes were red, and she looked at him with those red eyes, tears streaming down her face.

Mo Ziyuan wanted to tease her some more, but then there was a knock on the door.

His expression immediately vanished, and the man went to the wardrobe to find a shirt for her to wear.

Then he tried to cover her with the blanket, but the little girl looked at him stubbornly. Helpless, Mo Ziyuan had no choice but to coax her.

"Brother, go open the door, then lie down inside."

As soon as the door opened, he saw Shi Jingsheng outside. Without saying a word, Shi Jingsheng pushed him aside. Mo Ziyuan was caught off guard and took several steps back.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Shi Jingsheng quickly went inside. Before he could even look around the room, he saw the girl kneeling on the bed.

The little girl was so pitiful. Her hair was a bit messy, her eyes were red, her lips had bite marks, and her neck was covered with large hickeys.

The man suddenly felt as if his heart had been gripped tightly, and he could hardly breathe. His lovely and innocent sister had been bullied like this.

Mo Ziyuan stood in front of the man.

What brings you here?

With his view blocked, he looked in other directions and was truly astonished by what he saw. Everywhere was fascinating, especially the things on the shelves.

Mo Ziyuan seemed to have sensed something was wrong as well.

"Cough, I didn't use any of those things."

Shi Jingsheng didn't care whether he used it or not; it was all there anyway.

He had already wronged Yi'an enough by teaming up with him to deceive him, but now he felt like he wasn't even human.

Shi Jingsheng didn't speak for a long time.

"Let's talk."

"Okay, I'll get ready first."

Shi Jingsheng then left the room and prepared to go to the study. As he walked, he unconsciously started to cry. The more he thought about it, the more he felt sorry for his brother and for Yi Luo.

Lin Yi'an received a call from Shi Jingsheng; it was still early morning there.

Lin Yi'an wanted to scold him, but Shi Jingsheng was crying. It was really strange. Usually, he was the one who cried. He never expected that Shi Jingsheng would cry one day.

Why are you crying? Who bullied you?

Shi Jingsheng then realized that he had actually cried, and he quickly wiped away his tears.

"Yi'an, when are you coming back?"

"Hahahaha, Jingsheng, I believe you now. So you really missed me, you even cried. Hahahahaha."

"Stop laughing."

"Why can't I laugh? I never thought I'd have the chance to make you cry while I laugh, hahahahaha."

"When are you coming back? When will you come back?"

"You really miss me, huh? I'm actually quite happy. Even Ziyuan doesn't seem to miss me, but you do, hahaha. But I don't know when I'll be able to go back. Things are still pretty tricky here."

Shi Jingsheng also knew that Mo Ziyuan would never let him go back early. He seemed to have made up his mind that since Lin Yi'an was not there, he would definitely protect Yi Luo.

"Okay, I understand, don't worry!"

After saying that, Shi Jingsheng hung up the phone, leaving Lin Yi'an looking completely bewildered.

As soon as he stood up, he saw Mo Ziyuan leaning against the corner, and Shi Jingsheng felt extremely guilty.

When did you get there?

"I was there when you were wiping away your tears."

Shi Jingsheng was getting anxious.

"You were eavesdropping on me."

"I wasn't eavesdropping, you just didn't notice."
