Chapter 170 I Want Something to Happen
Xie Yanchuan's tone seemed threatening, but in this situation, it sounded more like the affection between lovers.
Jiang Wanning simply propped up her chin and looked at him, her tone meaningful: "Really? Is Mr. Xie's self-control only for me, or does it apply to everyone else?"
Xie Yanchuan: “…”
The man stared at the road ahead with a gloomy look. After a long pause, he finally spoke again and asked, "What do you think?"
Jiang Wanning is a rose with thorns. Now that she is getting familiar with Xie Yanchuan, she is becoming more and more daring to make some small movements of extending her claws in front of him.
This is a good phenomenon.
However, even a young man full of vigor and vitality like Xie Yanchuan could not stand her constant teasing.
Especially since this guy always flirts and then runs away, without any sense of responsibility at all.
Just as Xie Yanchuan had expected, the next second, Jiang Wanning saw Xie Yanchuan suddenly pull over to the side of the road after driving through a traffic light, and even his speech became a little unclear.
"You, you, you, Xie Yanchuan, I was just joking, why do you take it so seriously?"
Hearing this, Xie Yanchuan looked at her with an indifferent expression, as if she continued talking like this, who knows what would happen. Seeing this, Jiang Wanning reached out to grab the car door and urgently said, "I was wrong. I won't do this again next time. Is that okay?"
Seeing that Xie Yanchuan's expression seemed to relax, Jiang Wanning had no time to breathe a sigh of relief when someone suddenly knocked on the car window outside their car.
"Xie Shao, this is what you wanted."
Jiang Wanning: “…”
It was only then that Jiang Wanning noticed that the place where Xie Yanchuan pulled over was in front of a store. It was obvious that he had made an appointment with someone to pick up something here.
So after all this time, it turned out that Jiang Wanning was "overthinking".
As the person who delivered the documents left, the car window was raised again. Xie Yanchuan looked at Jiang Wanning in front of him who was obviously dazed, and finally couldn't help laughing.
"Ningning."
"...You really want to have something happen with me? Hmm?"
At the same time, Xie Yanchuan also turned his head slightly, and his low and pleasant laughter fell on Jiang Wanning's eardrum, making her whole body feel as if it was about to burn.
So the next second, Jiang Wanning decisively raised her hand and unceremoniously pushed Xie Yanchuan, who was about to get close to her, back to his original position.
And he said righteously: "Absolutely not, please respect yourself, Mr. Xie."
Xie Yanchuan, who seemed to have failed in his attempt to seduce someone again and shot himself in the foot, suddenly couldn't laugh anymore.
......
But the two of them were joking and soon got back to business.
As Xie Yanchuan started driving again, he handed the document he had just received to Jiang Wanning.
It was a folder completely wrapped in brown paper. Jiang Wanning took the thick stack in her hand and weighed it carefully. It was indeed quite heavy. "What is this?"
Seeing her confusion, Xie Yanchuan gestured for her to open the file. "When I received the complete surveillance video of Ai Heng, I realized that something might be wrong with Pei Yufeng, so I asked someone to retrieve some information about him."
"But then something else happened and I kept leaving it here. It just so happens to be on my way today, so you can take a look at it first. Maybe it can be of some use to you."
In this sense, this document is like timely rain.
Jiang Wanning's eyes suddenly lit up, and with Xie Yanchuan's approval, she opened the file immediately.
Just as she had expected, the stack of documents in the leather bag was very thick, large and small, and almost covered all of Pei Yufeng's resume in the first half of his life.
Jiang Wanning quickly flipped through the book and soon realized something was wrong.
"That's not right. The information here shows that when the Pei family was in China in the early years, they were not considered a respectable force at all..."
"How come after migrating to Star Country, they suddenly rose to prominence and expanded to their current status?"
Looking at the entire development of the Pei family, it is like a dry land that has been dry for a long time, and suddenly it is unstoppable after a downpour.
Jiang Wanning felt strange and flipped through the documents again, only to find that the other party's history of making a fortune seemed to have been intentionally erased and there was no record of it.
"Yeah." Listening to Jiang Wanning's words, Xie Yanchuan didn't seem surprised by her discovery: "This is also where I realized something was wrong last time."
Xie Yanchuan roughly told Jiang Wanning about his past battle with Pei Yufeng: "Reading this information today also confirmed that my previous thoughts were correct."
"Pei Yufeng is just the chess piece in the open. There are other forces in the dark, guiding us step by step into the trap."
It was like the surveillance video he suddenly received, or like the crashed plane the Jiang family suddenly found.
It seems as if there is an invisible hand behind the scenes, controlling and overseeing the overall situation.
He and Jiang Wanning are the people in the vortex at the center of this storm.
"But who could be the person who ordered Pei Yufeng to do something and hid behind the scenes without being discovered?"
"Don't worry."
Xie Yanchuan narrowed his eyes: "This guy's fox tail has begun to show."
Today he and Jiang Wanning planned to test Pei Yufeng's reaction, which was the biggest clue.
I think the person hiding behind this will be brought to the surface soon.
Xie Yanchuan's eyes were also dark at this moment. In his eyes, where no emotion could be seen, an unspeakable storm was brewing.
…
At the same time, on the other side of the country, Beijing.
After Shi Wang left the hospital after visiting Jiang Wanning, he did not return to Xingguo immediately.
He locked himself in the hotel and seemed to be silent for a few days. Finally, tonight, he got dressed and went out.
There is less than a week left until the Chinese New Year.
Beijing is different from Shenzhen. Even as the year draws to a close, the streets are still as bustling as ever.
The climate is further north, and the snow seems to fall heavier than in Shenzhen.
The dry and cold wind was whistling, and it hurt even more when it blew on people's faces.
As Shi Wang walked on the road, he couldn't help but tighten the collar of his down jacket. Even so, the biting cold still surged up from the soles of his feet and eroded his internal organs.
It's so cold.
He suddenly couldn't help but recall that at this time last year, he and Jiang Wanning had already started buying all kinds of New Year's goods.
Nestled in their not-so-big apartment, Jiang Wanning had such a beautiful smile on her face.
Now, how come things are so different from the past?
Just as he was thinking, someone suddenly stopped him from behind.
The other person had obviously just gotten out of the car. His well-tailored suit made his height and legs stand out. His gloomy eyes in the wind and snow were fixed on Shi Wang at this moment.
"Long time no see, Shi Lu."
