Ji Shuli's mood also became anxious. Seeing Jiang Jianian's gloomy face, he realized it was his mistake and dared not question Jiang Jianian anymore. He simply told Jiang Jianian honestly that he had not found Qin Manshu and did not know where Qin Manshu was now.
Jiang Jianian glanced at Ji Shuli.
Ji Shuli was also extremely anxious at this moment, "What do we do now?"
Who's in charge of the funeral now?
Judging from Ji Shuli's expression, he probably didn't know what was going on. So Jiang Jianian went directly to one of the staff members. The staff member was startled by Jiang Jianian's sinister gaze. Before his brain could react, he honestly replied, "Mr. Jiang Shichu is in charge of our work. I don't know where Miss Qin is."
I don't know where they went.
Jiang Jianian sneered inwardly.
Without further ado, he went straight to Jiang Shichu.
Jiang Shichu's temples were throbbing. Upon seeing Jiang Jianian and Ji Shuli, he suddenly stood up. This time, he understood perfectly well that Qin Manshu had messed up.
Although he vaguely guessed that this was related to Qin Manshu's departure, he could only pretend that he knew nothing and calmly looked at the two men who had come with ill intentions, "What do you want?"
Jiang Jianian asked directly, "Where is Qin Manshu now?"
Jiang Shichu smiled and said, "Are you looking for Manshu? Manshu isn't feeling well and can't preside over the funeral arrangements, so I'm in charge of everything now—"
Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Jianian interrupted him directly, his gaze deep, "Don't play dumb, I'm asking where Qin Manshu is now."
"You might not be able to find her now..."
When soft tactics fail, then force is the only option.
With his youthful strength, Jiang Jia easily pinned Jiang Shichu to the table. Under the overwhelming force of Jiang Jia, Jiang Shichu was practically a fish on a chopping board. His face flushed red with anger as he shouted, "What do you mean? Is this how your Ye family treats those who helped you in the past?!"
Jiang Jianian took Jiang Shichu's phone directly before letting go of him. He found the last call and used Jiang Shichu's phone to call Qin Manshu.
Seeing Jiang Jianian take his phone, Jiang Shichu realized that this would be detrimental to Qin Manshu. However, just as he was about to snatch the phone back, Ji Shuli grabbed him instead.
Jiang Shichu had always considered Ji Shuli a rival in love, and now that they were facing each other, he was extremely jealous. He glared at Ji Shuli with almost red eyes and demanded, "What exactly do you mean by this?!"
Ji Shuli was powerless against Jiang Jianian, but he was quite capable of fighting this pampered young master who spent all his time in the laboratory. He grabbed Jiang Shichu's arm with one hand and pressed him back onto the table, laughing coldly, "It's Qin Manshu who's trying to do this, little brother. I really didn't want to do anything to you, after all, it's pitiful that you're chasing after Qin Manshu all day and being hooked by a woman like this. But what are you doing now? Even if Qin Manshu didn't tell you what she wanted to do, don't tell me you really think she's just not feeling well."
Jiang Shichu lay face down on the table without saying a word.
Jiang Jianian then easily dialed Qin Manshu's number.
The call record from half an hour ago is different from the number Qin Manshu gave to Ji Shuli.
Qin Manshu hadn't realized that Jiang Jianian had snatched Jiang Shichu's phone when the call connected until she wearily asked, "Shichu, what's wrong?"
A depressing silence came from the other end of the phone.
Qin Manshu immediately understood who was on the other end of the phone. She had been leaning wearily against the car seat, but now she sat up straight again, her back tense. While on the phone, Jiang Jianian gestured to Ji Shuli to locate the other party based on the phone signal.
“Jiang Jianian,” Qin Manshu spoke first. Although she was a little surprised at first, she immediately felt that this was expected. She smiled and said, “It’s amazing. I always thought you were a devil without feelings. I never thought you would actually fall in love with someone. You know, even with Ye Yingying back then, you didn’t care about her life or death. You just wanted to control her. So even devils can have feelings like humans.”
Qin Manshu was speaking in a way that was incomprehensible to others, but Jiang Jianian had already connected Qin Manshu's words with Ye Zhiwei's unusual behavior when they first met.
But now he didn't want to know why Qin Manshu was acting strangely, nor was he curious about whether there was any connection between Ye Zhiwei and Qin Manshu. The only thing he wanted to know was whether Ye Zhiwei was safe.
He asked expressionlessly, "Where is Ye Zhiwei?"
Qin Manshu said with a smile, "How would I know where my little cousin is? Didn't Shichu tell you that I was just feeling unwell? I don't know anything about my little cousin. I clearly arranged a rest room for her so she could rest properly."
Jiang Jianian tried his best to remain calm and asked directly, "What do you have against me? I don't remember having any interaction with you, nor do I think I could have done anything to make you target me like this."
Qin Manshu laughed and said, "Yes, you really don't have those memories now. How could you possibly have those memories? But even so, do those things just disappear? I didn't initially intend to target my little cousin. After all, she is Shuli's sister, and she is so beautiful, cute, and lovable. Although I resent you, I really felt that this matter had nothing to do with her. But who told my little cousin to discover my secret by such an unexpected turn of events?"
She had been smiling, but her tone quickly turned cold and gloomy. She said coldly, "Since you've discovered my secret and delivered yourself to my doorstep, you can't blame me for being ruthless. After all, it was your sweetheart who willingly came to me."
Jiang Jianian gripped his phone tightly. Although he appeared calm, only he knew he couldn't think rationally. Qin Manshu had disrupted his train of thought, and he began to panic. He was worried, he was terrified—
He felt fear for the first time.
He clenched his fists, suppressing his emotions, and said in a calm voice, "If you have any complaints about me, just take them out on me. Let Ye Zhiwei go."
He said to let Ye Zhiwei go.
He lowered his head.
It wasn't that no one wanted to kidnap Ye Yingying to blackmail Jiang Jianian, but what Jiang Jianian said at the time was just a smile and a reply: "Then go ahead and do it. Just give me back the body after you're done."
Cold-blooded and indifferent.
Qin Manshu had seen Jiang Jianian's cold demeanor before; he was cold even when facing Ye Yingying.
But now he seems like a different person; he actually bows his head, he actually bows his head.
That's really a strange thing.
Qin Manshu laughed, as if she had encountered something particularly interesting. She laughed so hard that she bent over, and tears welled up in her eyes. She slowly wiped away the tears with her fingers before continuing to say to Jiang Jianian on the other end of the phone, "So you do know what it means to like someone, Jiang Jianian."
