Chapter 242 Xie Li is in prison
Neither Shen Jin nor Yan Yu reacted for a moment.
Then, Yan Yu subconsciously turned to look at Shen Jin. Shen Jin felt Yan Yu's gaze fall on him, so he also turned to look at him.
The two of them made eye contact.
There was an awkward moment.
"Why are you looking at me?" Shen Jin asked, startled.
"I...you saw me too." Yan Yu scratched his head and answered hesitantly.
Shen Jin was speechless for a moment, then turned to look at Bai Yujin again, only then realizing that Bai Yujin had just asked about Xie Li.
Yan Yu's feelings were mixed. Hearing Xie Li's name reminded him of the things he had done in the past, and even though a long time had passed, those things could not be erased.
He clearly remembered all the stupid things he had done in the past.
It can't be hidden no matter what.
Shen Jin naturally remembered the past, so his mood wasn't so good.
Both of them had their own thoughts.
Bai Yujin raised an eyebrow slightly as he observed their reactions.
"You don't even remember who Xie Li is, do you?" Bai Yujin asked.
He always felt that the two people had become very strange and erratic in their thinking after being missing for so long.
"I remember." Shen Jin nodded first, then paused and asked, "I just don't know why you suddenly brought up Xie Li, so I was a little slow to react."
Upon hearing Shen Jin's reply, Bai Yujin smiled helplessly.
"I think you've really become a bit slow-witted; you're practically dazed," Bai Yujin casually teased.
Yan Yu immediately objected: "Who are you calling dull?"
You can say that about him, but you absolutely cannot say that he is ashen.
Shen Jin turned and glared at Yan Yu: "Yan Yu!"
Startled by Shen Jin's shout, Yan Yu immediately shut up.
"You're the one who talks too much, aren't you?" Shen Jin continued to berate Yan Yu.
Yan Yu shook his head and replied sullenly, "No, you can continue."
Bai Yujin looked at the two of them and felt that their conversation was quite subtle.
Then, Shen Jin turned to look at Bai Yujin again: "What's wrong with Xie Li? Why are you suddenly asking about him?"
Although the mention of Xie Li stirred up mixed feelings in Shen Jin, he didn't show it on his face and tried to ask Bai Yujin in a calm tone.
"Six months ago, Xie Li went to prison," Bai Yujin said after a long silence.
Upon hearing Bai Yujin's words, Shen Jin and Yan Yu were both taken aback.
Although it was Xie Li, it was still somewhat unbelievable to hear that he had gone inside.
"What did you say? Did I hear that right? Xie Li, he..." Yan Yu stammered.
Yan Yu stopped halfway through his sentence, glancing at Shen Jin, afraid that Shen Jin might misunderstand.
He was indeed very surprised, but apart from that, he really didn't feel any other emotions.
Shen Jin was unaware of Yan Yu's emotions and was also very surprised: "Really? How did Xie Li get in?"
Someone as thoughtful as Xie Li never imagined he would one day be imprisoned.
That's why I was so surprised and somewhat incredulous when I heard Bai Yujin's words.
“I understand how you feel. After all, when you found out, many people were even more incredulous than you were,” Bai Yujin said.
Shen Jin and Yan Yu looked at Bai Yujin, waiting for him to continue answering their questions.
Their faces were filled with surprise.
“It’s like this…” Bai Yujin turned to look at Shen Jin.
Shen Jin was slightly taken aback, realizing that Bai Yujin was going to talk to him, so he focused intently on Bai Yujin, ready to hear what he was going to say next.
"Half a year ago, weren't you kidnapped by two people?" Bai Yujin asked Shen Jin.
Shen Jin nodded.
It was that guy named Lao Zheng, and there was also a young man; Shen Jin still remembered them.
“Yes, a young man and another named Lao Zheng. I saw them after that kidnapping,” Shen Jin replied.
Upon hearing that they had seen Shen Jin afterward, the two were taken aback.
"What did you say? You saw them again later?" Before Bai Yujin could speak, Yan Yu asked in surprise.
Shen Jin glanced at Yan Yu, then nodded.
"When? How come I didn't know?" Yan Yu continued to ask.
He remembered that after he and Shen Jin fell off the cliff together, he never saw those people who had tried to kidnap Shen Jin again. But now Shen Jin said he had seen them, and he didn't even know it.
“You weren’t there at that time.” Shen Jin didn’t want to say much to Yan Yu, so he simply answered with this one sentence.
Yan Yu opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something.
"Alright, the past is the past, let's not bring it up again." Shen Jin interrupted Yan Yu directly.
Seeing that Shen Jin seemed reluctant to speak, Yan Yu had no choice but to shut up.
“Anyway, I saw them in an ancient city that time,” Shen Jin said, looking at Bai Yujin.
Hearing Shen Jin's words, Yan Yu felt his heart clench.
Shen Jin must have been in great danger back then, and he wasn't even there. Now, hearing what Shen Jin said, he basically knows when Shen Jin encountered them.
After all, they had only been apart for a short period of time.
“Ancient city is the place.” Bai Yujin nodded: “The police caught the two of them in an ancient city.”
Shen Jin nodded thoughtfully.
"Were they both arrested by the police?" After a moment, Shen Jin asked.
“Yes, it was them. They reappeared later and were found to be involved in a case. Then the police followed the clues and found that you were implicated.” Bai Yujin nodded in response to Shen Jin’s question.
Hearing Bai Yujin's words, Shen Jin nodded, his brows furrowing slightly.
He was indeed being chased by those two people, which is why he fell off the cliff and his fate remains unknown.
"So the police arrested those two people," Bai Yujin continued. "Xie Li was also involved in that matter."
"So Xie Li was arrested?" Shen Jin didn't look at Yan Yu, but continued to ask Bai Yujin.
“Yes, instructing them to kidnap you was enough to get him arrested, but later the police used some methods to find out that Xie Li had done a lot of illegal things in the past, and the Duan family head also provided some information.” Bai Yujin thought for a moment and tried to tell the two of the information he had learned before.
Shen Jin listened and slowly nodded. Apart from feeling a little emotional, he felt nothing else.
"Thank you for telling me all this." Shen Jin smiled at Bai Yujin.
"You're welcome. Actually, I personally think it would be better if you went back and checked on things as soon as possible," Bai Yujin added.
"Don't worry, we know," Chen Jin nodded in reply.
Bai Yujin nodded in agreement, then turned to look at Yan Yu.
"You're also planning to go back, aren't you?" Bai Yujin asked Yan Yu.
"Wherever Chen Jin is, that's where I'll be." Bai Yujin's answer was very official.
Bai Yujin was at a loss for words.
He now realized how incredibly stupid he had been to ask Yan Yu that question; Yan Yu didn't even need to ask to know that he was with Shen Jin.
"Do you need me to tell you about the Yan family?" Bai Yujin thought for a moment and asked Yan Yu.
Although he and Yan Yu had always thought they were at odds, so much time had passed and things weren't as intense anymore. For example, he could now speak to Yan Yu calmly.
"No need." Yan Yu refused after only a short time.
He had already gotten a general idea from the clothing store in the city last time, so he wasn't particularly interested in knowing more now.
Moreover, unlike Shen Jin, he did not value his family highly, and he did not have anything particularly important to him.
Now, what he cherishes most is Shen Jin; there is nothing else besides Shen Jin.
Upon hearing Yan Yu's reply, Bai Yujin didn't say anything more, simply responding and remaining silent.
Then, Shen Jin couldn't help but sigh, "I never thought that after so long I would still know so much about my old acquaintances."
Hearing Shen Jin's words, Bai Yujin also sighed, "I never expected to see you again after all this time."
Shen Jin smiled but didn't say anything.
Indeed, logically speaking, if she hadn't decided to see Bai Yujin herself, she probably wouldn't have been able to rely on coincidence again.
After listening to Bai Yujin's explanation, his head was still spinning and he hadn't quite processed it all. He didn't know whether to be happy or not.
He felt as if a long time had passed, so long that he felt almost isolated from the world. So when he heard about so many people and things from the past, he felt as if he were in another world.
After a pause, Bai Yujin added, "So don't take this to heart. It's inevitable that Xie Li will be imprisoned. Even if he's not imprisoned now, he'll eventually suffer the consequences."
“I know, I know,” Shen Jin nodded.
"Don't take it to heart, and don't feel burdened," Bai Yujin said again.
Shen Jin could only smile and say, "We didn't take it to heart, don't worry."
He wouldn't feel any burden about this matter, since it doesn't concern him much.
Upon hearing Shen Jin's answer, Bai Yujin was truly relieved and didn't bring up the matter again.
"In this matter, besides your family, Luo Zheng also helped a lot. Later, Luo Zheng was very determined to send Xie Lihe to prison." Bai Yujin answered quickly, "He always believed that you were still alive."
Upon hearing the name Luo Zheng, Shen Jin was immediately stunned.
He hadn't heard anyone mention Luo Zheng for a long time.
Yan Yu was stunned when he heard Luo Zheng's name. Immediately afterwards, a very uncomfortable feeling welled up in Yan Yu's heart.
He knew that Luo Zheng liked Shen Jin, so he didn't have any good feelings towards Luo Zheng at all. Even just hearing Luo Zheng's name made him unhappy.
He has so many rivals in love.
