Under Shen Ningyuan's surprised gaze, Ji Yunnuo looked calm and slowly raised his hand to place a piece.
The chess piece collided with the chessboard, accompanied by a crisp sound, and Ji Yunnuo's low voice clearly reached Shen Ningyuan's ears: "Yes, it's her!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Ningyuan couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, a hint of surprise and thought flashed in her eyes, and she murmured to herself: "I didn't expect that a woman fostered in the Marquis' Mansion would be so secretive. Such thoughts and methods are indeed beyond my imagination."
While thinking, Shen Ningyuan's thoughts suddenly flashed back to the scene in the villa.
That day, she heard with her own ears a woman talking to a masked man.
The woman also assured the masked man in a firm tone that she would keep a close eye on the Ji family.
She also felt that the woman's voice was somewhat familiar.
But at this moment, Shen Ningyuan's mind suddenly became clear, and all the clues were instantly straightened out.
Looking across the entire capital, who can most conveniently and covertly keep an eye on the Ji family's every move?
Only people who have lived in the Ji family for a long time can do this!
Now it seems that the woman who talked to the masked man that day was the cousin who was fostered in the Marquis' Mansion - Chen Moer!
Seeing Shen Ningyuan's expression changing again and again, Ji Yunnuo knew that she had figured out some things.
He immediately asked, "Sister-in-law, have you figured it out?"
Shen Ningyuan nodded, but did not respond, and her brows furrowed even more tightly.
At this moment, she felt a chill rising from her back.
It was as if there was an invisible yet huge net that tightly wrapped her up, with no way to escape!
It turned out that she and the Shen family had been secretly targeted since some time, and were caught in a carefully planned trap!
The fate of the Shen family in the previous life was premeditated!
"I see, that's how it is!"
Shen Ningyuan gritted her teeth and said "So that's it" twice.
Hearing this, Ji Yunnuo curled up the corners of his mouth into a meaningful smile, and an imperceptible complexity appeared in his eyes.
Then he returned to normal and said in a deep voice, "Sister-in-law, the Ji family is in a much deeper mess than you can imagine. There are many things you can't imagine!"
Shen Ningyuan looked at Ji Yunnuo coldly, with a look of scrutiny and questioning: "Ji Yunnuo, are you telling me this just for the sake of the deal between us?"
Ji Yunnuo pursed his lips and chuckled, then said slowly, "I've made it clear from the beginning that since this is a deal with my sister-in-law, I will show my utmost sincerity and tell you everything I know."
Shen Ningyuan raised her eyebrows, a hint of amusement flashed in her eyes, and she looked at Ji Yunnuo with interest.
He asked slowly, "Ji Yunnuo, you are so smart and thoughtful, does the Ji family know?"
Ji Yunnuo's expression froze slightly, and an indescribable subtlety emerged.
However, Shen Ningyuan did not give him a chance to respond, and said to herself: "I think, probably don't know."
"If Ji Yunchuan and the Ji family knew you were capable of this, given their way of doing things, you wouldn't be alive today."
After saying this, Ji Yunnuo's eyes were filled with surprise for a moment, and he said, "So, my sister-in-law has seen through it."
Shen Ningyuan said nothing, but placed a piece calmly.
The movements were graceful and calm, with a sense of composure.
Ji Yunnuo had never thought that Shen Ningyuan, who was always described as kind and virtuous by his subordinates, actually had such a side to her.
For a moment, I was stunned.
Just at this moment, a gentle knock on the door interrupted Ji Yunnuo.
Lao Guai's voice came from outside the door: "Boss, the sake is warm."
Ji Yunnuo subconsciously said: "Send it in!"
However, after he spoke, there was no movement outside the door.
Ji Yunnuo frowned, a hint of surprise flashed through his mind, and he was about to urge him again.
Shen Ningyuan's unhurried voice followed: "Come in!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lao Guai came in respectfully with a smile on his face.
He walked straight to the table, carefully placed the sake on the table, then raised his head, looked at Shen Ningyuan with a smile on his face, and asked respectfully, "Boss, do you have any other instructions?"
"No more, you can go down." Shen Ningyuan said indifferently and in a calm tone.
"Okay!"
Lao Guai responded and turned away with light steps.
From beginning to end, he never even glanced at his former boss Ji Yunnuo.
It can be said that there was not even a single unnecessary glance.
Ji Yunnuo's face darkened, and he couldn't help but shout at Lao Guai: "Wait!"
Lao Guai stopped, turned to look at Ji Yunnuo, and asked slowly, "Sir, do you have any instructions?"
Ji Yunnuo twitched the corner of his mouth: "W-what? Guests?"
Ji Yunnuo couldn't hold it in any longer: "Lao Guai, you better understand that this month's allowance is paid by me!"
Lao Guai smiled and said, "It's you who pays the monthly allowance, so what?"
He looked at Shen Ningyuan flatteringly: "My current boss is Miss Shen, hehe..."
After saying that, Lao Guai turned around and walked out of the room without caring about Ji Yunnuo's reaction.
After Lao Guai closed the door, Ji Yunnuo came back to his senses. A trace of helplessness appeared on his face, and he cursed in a low voice: "This Lao Guai, really..."
Shen Ningyuan smiled faintly, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and said softly: "Now I am the owner of Ningle Tower, of course he has to listen to me."
Ji Yunnuo forced a slightly awkward fake smile and said helplessly, "Sister-in-law is right. I know he should listen to you. But, I have been his boss for so many years, and he doesn't even give me this little face. It's really too much."
"It's okay, it's not important."
