"Get out of here!" Wen Yan was still unwilling.
[You stubborn tsundere, you just want to see me make a fool of myself, no way! You're a malicious jerk! You bad guy!!]
Although Wen Yan cursed him in her heart, Shen Jinghe still did not give up.
"Here, take a look. Here's the money. I'll return everything you asked for before."
Wen Yan's text-to-speech message: 'You think you can get rid of me for 1000 yuan? Are you trying to fob me off, you big star! Aren't you afraid of losing face and lowering your status if word gets out that you're only giving me this little bit?'
"Then you drive it yourself."
"One hundred thousand!" "Deal."
"…It's true what they say, money talks. Enough with the chit-chat, here's your phone. Transfer the money to me right now, and I'll take off my mask the moment it arrives."
"Okay! Just wait, the money will be in your account in no time."
Shen Jinghe seemed unusually easy to talk to tonight; he wasn't sarcastic or arrogant, and Wen Yan almost didn't recognize him.
He fiddled with his phone for a while, and shortly after, Wen Yan received a notification that the money had been deposited into her account.
"See? I kept my word. Now it's your turn to fulfill your promise."
'Okay, money talks! But you still have to leave your phone with me, and you have to promise me you won't laugh later!'
Shen Jinghe obediently put the phone back next to Wen Yan's pillow, and then asked a seemingly irrelevant question.
Did Shen Jingchuan laugh at you when he saw you like this?
Wen Yan thought for a moment and typed: 'No, actually my lips and face weren't swollen at first. It's a gradual process. He was quite startled when he saw it.'
Shen Jinghe frowned slightly: "Then why do you think I'll definitely laugh at you?"
This heartless guy has no idea how guilty he feels.
“…………” Wen Yan was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then typed.
'Because my face might actually look rather funny right now?'
"…………" Oh my god! Shen Jinghe was genuinely amused by Wen Yan this time.
Wen Yan didn't linger any longer. She frowned and, with a look of grim determination, slowly removed the mask that was covering half of her face.
At this moment, his appearance was truly a pitiful sight.
If this makeup and styling were used in a movie, it would definitely have a comedic effect.
But Shen Jinghe couldn't laugh at all. A perfectly beautiful girl had been ruined like this; those people deserved to die!
Shen Jinghe's expression visibly darkened.
He didn't look long before quickly taking the mask from Wen Yan's hand. His slender fingers carefully and gently covered Wen Yan's face again.
"Listen to the doctors and nurses and get plenty of rest."
Wen Yan: 'Don't be like this, I'm not used to you being so considerate to me all of a sudden.'
Shen Jinghe glared at him: "You think wild boars can't eat fine chaff? You're not happy even when I'm talking to you nicely."
'Ah! That's more like it, that's the Shen, the proud and aloof Jinghe we know and love.'
Shen Jinghe couldn't do anything about this guy!
With a helpless, wry smile, he said, "Check your payment notification."
'I've already checked, the money has arrived.'
"Let's take another look."
'Why? '
"Just look, why all the nonsense? Will looking again blind you?"
After replying with "No, not at all," Wen Yan opened her phone's text messages.
She only glanced at it briefly; she didn't look at it carefully.
After taking a closer look, her eyes widened immediately.
One million!
Shen Jinghe didn't just transfer 100,000 to her, but 1 million.
There's an extra zero!
Wen Yan quickly typed.
'What's wrong with you? Are your hands shaking? You added an extra zero! You gave me a million.'
"Yes."
'Really? That's it? Why? Are you taking pity on me? Seriously? Do you think making money is that easy for me? This is beyond my wildest imagination.'
"You're crazy... This isn't making money, it's a gift from me."
'Because you felt sorry for me?'
"This is the start-up capital for your studio. Do you know where you went wrong this time? Luckily, you were smart enough to escape unscathed."
"But you yourself have also paid the price for this. Look at your face. You can't even speak clearly now, and you don't know how many days you'll need to rest to recover."
"The reason they hired someone to impersonate Hou Wenbin is because they knew you didn't have an agent or assistant and that you handled everything yourself when you went out to discuss business."
"If your job is always negotiated by an agent, then they won't be able to get through this path, and the probability of you getting into trouble will be lower."
'But if bad people really want to do something bad, they'll find other ways if one method doesn't work.'
“I know that I’m telling you this not out of victim-blaming, but because I hope you can minimize the risks.”
"Mm!" Wen Yan nodded.
Typing: 'Thank you, Second Brother, but I actually have some money on me, so you don't need to give me any.'
"Take it. My assistant, my studio found a few that seem pretty good. Once you've recovered from your injury, you can go and pick one that you think is a good match."
'So, I'll really accept it then?'
"Nonsense, I, Shen Jinghe, have never taken back anything I've given away."
'Clap clap clap, applause! Second Brother is mighty and domineering!'
"Oh no!" Just as she was saying this, Su Yang suddenly called.
Wen Yan looked to Shen Jinghe for help: "What should we do?"
“I’ll take over. We all know about this anyway, so it won’t make a difference if Mom and Grandpa get involved. Besides, I’m not sure if Shen Jingxiu can handle the Qiao family by himself, but if Grandpa gets involved, the Qiao family is doomed.”
As Shen Jinghe spoke, he connected Su Yang's call.
"Hello, Mom, this is Jinghe. I'm with Wenyan right now. She's at the hospital..."
-
public security bureau.
Just as he had learned more about the situation, Shen Jingxiu's phone suddenly rang.
He walked aside to answer the phone.
He quickly returned to his original spot: "Officers, I have some urgent business to attend to with my brother. We'll be back to bother you later."
Hearing Shen Jingxiu say this, Shen Jingchuan followed in his footsteps, even though he didn't know what it was about.
Only after getting into Shen Jingxiu's car did Shen Jingchuan ask:
"What's going on? Has that woman surnamed Qiao been found?"
"That's right."
"So, are we going to see that woman now?"
"Um."
"?" Shen Jingchuan didn't quite understand at first. "Then why not just take the police with you and arrest her?"
Shen Jingxiu glanced at his younger brother and asked, "What do you think?"
He then started the car and quickly drove away from the spot.
Shen Jingchuan also realized what was happening: "I understand."
If you bring the police, that woman surnamed Qiao won't suffer.
Half an hour later, Shen Jingxiu drove the car into an abandoned factory.
A car in the distance suddenly turned on its headlights, revealing his men inside, along with a pale-faced Qiao Kexin.
