Chapter 122 She's a formidable rival
"Senior Brother Ye, I'm sorry. My parents were just too anxious, that's why they did this and caused you trouble." Mu Bu said apologetically.
Ye Fou smiled and said, "It's alright, it's only human nature, I understand. But Miss Mu, you are quite capable, don't let any other petty thoughts taint your soul. This is not something that can be solved by just any relationship."
He was reminding her that even if you can get things done through back channels elsewhere, you can't lie about someone's character, and there are no shortcuts.
Mu Bu nodded, "I know, senior brother. I will make sure the police solve the case as soon as possible and clear Luo Shu's name."
He nodded in satisfaction, then turned and left.
The moment he turned around, the three people behind him pursed their lips into a thin line.
Ye Fou is the founder of Yi Ye Clothing Customization. With the strong support of Professor Chen, he has also cooperated with the national government. He is the most prestigious person among his peers in this circle.
Moreover, Professor Chen is his teacher, and if he wants to become Professor Chen's student, Ye Fou's vote will be decisive, and they cannot afford to offend him.
Mubu was so angry he wanted to grind his teeth!
Luo Shu, a mere designer, actually has so many men backing her up.
She couldn't understand why Yu Zhan would get a marriage certificate with this woman he had no connection with in just a few months, and why he would be so deeply in love with her.
Mu Bu lay on the bed, reflecting on what he had done recently. If he were really with Yu Zhan, his methods would be utterly underhanded.
On this point alone, I've already lost completely.
Just now, she thought Luo Shu would be scared and timid, would compromise, or would cry, but Luo Shu did not show any of the things she expected. Instead, she was extremely calm.
She is a formidable rival.
Mu Bu smiled. She thought that since she had been by Yu Zhan's side for many years, he had never had a woman by his side and she had never seen him smile at other women. With the support of both families, their relationship might take a step further. Unexpectedly, she was still a step too late.
She was quite surprised that Luo Shu could win the favor of the Yu family; she figured Luo Shu must have some extraordinary qualities.
She looked away, her expression indifferent, unsure whether she should still try to win him over.
——
When Luo Shu was pulled downstairs by Yu Zhan, she ran into Shen Yan and several bodyguards, presumably summoned by Yu Zhan.
Fortunately, it's all over now.
Shen Yan was wearing a bright red overcoat and a red scarf around his neck. Luckily, it was the second day of the Lunar New Year, otherwise people would have thought he was having a banquet.
"Mr. Yu, Madam." Shen Yan nodded, not in high spirits, but his working-class spirit was still there.
Luo Shu didn't want to talk; she was still angry because Yu Zhan wouldn't tell her anything.
They even felt that his statement that he would handle the matter was already a way of pinning the blame on them, giving them no chance to explain.
This approach didn't make her feel that Yu Zhan's behavior was cool.
Luo Shu was troubled, wondering what made him think she was so domineering and unreasonable.
She wanted to get angry.
At this moment, Yu Zhan felt a great sense of crisis.
A voice inside him kept reminding him that Ye Fou was a dangerous man, and he felt that his position was unstable.
He also vaguely sensed that the woman was angry, and he thought that Luo Shu was angry because he was jealous of Ye Fou, not because he hadn't told her about the explosion at Mu Bu Villa.
As Shen Yan watched the two people sit down in the back seat with stern faces, he immediately sensed something was wrong, feeling that he might have to work overtime again.
Sigh—
He waved his hand, and the bodyguard beside him got into the last car.
Today, another bodyguard was driving, and Shen Yan sat in the passenger seat.
The car drove into the police station.
Luo Shu cooperated with the police for a brief conversation, while Shen Yan and Yu Zhan discussed matters in the car.
"Did you find it?" Yu Zhan asked.
Shen Yan hummed in agreement and opened a sheet on his tablet showing the gas usage time.
The gas usage period was before Mu Bu called Yu Zhan, and it ended a dozen minutes later.
In other words, Luo Shu didn't turn on the gas; it took them just over ten minutes to get to Mu Bu's house.
Luo Shu turned off the gas, which is why her fingerprints were left behind.
So, Mu Bu lied. Why did she lie?
Did it really confirm my original thought that she was that kind of person all along?
"Hand it over to the police." Yu Zhan sighed, "There's something fishy about these two things."
"Understood." Shen Yan knew what he wanted to say, so he immediately informed the police.
"Do you know Ye Fou?" he asked Shen Yan.
"Yes, we know each other. We were college classmates," Shen Yan answered truthfully. He had a rough idea of what Yu Zhan would ask, so he continued, "He was also Professor Chen's student. He had a good relationship with his wife and used to work on designs together a lot, but we haven't been in touch much lately."
How good is it?
“…” Shen Yan did not answer directly: “Just like Luo Shu and I.”
This time he didn't call her "wife," indicating that they weren't in a superior-subordinate relationship, but rather a close classmate relationship.
Ye Fou had liked Luo Shu since college, but that was a long time ago.
Luo Shu is already married, so talking about this again doesn't seem to make much sense.
"Give me the information." He wanted to compare it and see if this man was worth his nervousness.
"The founder of Yiye Clothing Design has collaborated with the government in the past."
Yi Ye is a pioneer in the field of men's bespoke tailoring.
It goes without saying that this man is quite capable, and we can't touch him.
Yu Zhan frowned, his head aching.
——
Luo Shu left the police station at 2 p.m.
Liao Xian was convicted, but only because she had miscarried and was still in the hospital, she was already under control.
I learned from her that Qin Heng's company had been acquired, and the acquirer was Yucheng Group.
It happened on New Year's Eve.
——
Once in the car, neither of them uttered a word, and a cold war inexplicably ensued.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Shen Yan felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar; it was chilling.
After finally making it to the restaurant for a late lunch, Shen Yan barely dared to breathe, carefully picking up food for fear of being scolded for picking up the wrong dish.
"Shen Yan, why are you dressed like this?" Luo Shu asked beforehand, but not to Yu Zhan.
Shen Yan smiled and said, "My grandma bought it for me to wear to work, saying it's for good luck."
"You actually believe that? You might as well keep red banknotes by your bedside." Yu Zhan scoffed.
"Mr. Yu may not know that there are some things that cannot be bought with red banknotes, and money can't solve everything." Luo Shu angrily ate a large piece of meat in one bite.
Talking to him is infuriating.
She was thinking about the Mubu Villa incident. If in the end they still believed it was her, would Yu Zhan, like in the novels, throw a few hundred thousand at her to silence the gossip?
This seems like something he'd do.
Yu Zhan was speechless.
Shen Yan lowered his head silently, focused on eating, and tried to minimize his presence.
