Chapter 249 Why Choose Me?
"I can tell you where Xu Moli is now."
"As long as you continue with our previous agreement and help me find evidence of my uncle's crime, I will continue to invest in your new law firm. How about that?"
Upon hearing this, Shi Wang's eyes flashed.
His eyes returned to their coldness, and he also put down the beer bottle in his hand and walked back to Chen Jingbai.
The two men were actually not much different in height. As they stood there, their eyes met. The danger in each other's eyes burst out at this moment, and invisibly collided to produce fierce sparks.
"Why does it have to be me?"
Shi Wang asked coldly.
Logically speaking, given Chen Jingbai's family background, there would probably be many people who really wanted to find a suitable lawyer to do this for him.
To put it bluntly, he might not even be the best candidate for the other party.
But just now, after he clearly refused again and again, Chen Jingbai was actually willing to give in again and again.
If someone said that the other party had no ulterior motives, Shi Wang would definitely be the first one to not believe it.
This guy is really sharp.
Even though the person was obviously drunk just now, it was still so difficult to fool him.
Thinking of this, Chen Jingbai grinned, and when he met Shi Wan's scrutinizing gaze again, he simply stopped pretending.
"...Of course, it's because, Shi Lu is the only one who can do this."
"If I remember correctly, my uncle seemed to have reached a long-term cooperative relationship with Jiang Wanning's company in Xingguo some time ago."
"So, considering your friendship with her, Shi Lu, you wouldn't sit idly by and watch her jump into the fire, right?"
In this way, Chen Jingbai chose Shi Wang, and the latter could only try his best.
He did this because he took advantage of Shi Wangzheng's guilt towards Jiang Wanning.
If we talk about this, compared to looking for another suitable lawyer, Chen Jingbai currently thinks Shi Wang is the most suitable candidate.
It just so happened that Shi Wang knew that he was being plotted against by the other party, but he couldn't do anything about it and could only follow the other party's plan.
When Shi Wang realized this, his eyes turned cold for a moment, and his knuckles hanging by his side unconsciously clenched and then released.
Then he laughed sarcastically.
Shen Jingbai's appearance is really deceptive.
He always makes people subconsciously think that he is harmless, but when you actually get along with him, he is no less dangerous than those calculating children from aristocratic families he knows.
Of course, if Su Xu, the previous victim who was deceived by this performance, was present at this time, he would definitely make peace and pull Shi Wang to nod frantically.
After all, it is rare for them to reach a unanimous consensus on this point.
…
"Where is Xu Moli now?"
Hearing Shi Wang's last words, a smile of success could not be suppressed on Chen Jingbai's lips.
"Shi Lu is just as I thought, a straightforward person."
After saying that, he lowered his head again and fiddled with his phone a few times. Shi Wang also received the latest location message at the same time.
Still in Star Country.
...No wonder he couldn't find this person's whereabouts during this period of time.
"This is where Xu Moli is now. After you find her, whether it's a rekindled love or revenge, it has nothing to do with me."
“…”
Seeing that Shi Wang was still silent, Chen Jingbai was not annoyed: "Then I'll leave my uncle's matter to you, Shi Lu."
"Oh, by the way, let me remind you one last time, Shi Lu. Drinking is harmful to your health, so it's best to drink in moderation. After all, I don't want to find the right person after all the hard work, only to have their health fail before they even start working."
When he heard Wang Yin's words, a cold look like a knife swept over him.
After Chen Jingbai said these two sentences, he retreated from Shi Wang's room. Before leaving, he did not forget to help him close the door.
Wait until all the people on his side have left and disappeared completely.
Shi Wang seemed to have finally reached his limit. His cold figure suddenly shook, and he stumbled and half-knelt on the ground, holding on to the table. At this moment, his slender knuckles also painfully restrained his stomach.
At this moment, there was severe pain there due to excessive drinking.
Just now, he had been enduring the pain because of the presence of Chen Jingbai. Now that he had left, his tense emotions just relaxed and his vision began to go dark.
…
Meanwhile, on the other side.
After saying goodbye to the Chen couple, Jiang Wanning also flew back to China from Singapore.
April passed by quickly and it was soon the end of the month.
The day that Mr. Xie had agreed with everyone that Xie Yanchuan would inherit the Xie family was approaching.
Jiang Wanning also "had to" appear in the Xie family again as Xie Yanchuan's fiancée.
Because Mr. Xie knew about Xie Yanchuan's fake death, he did not agree to remove the latter's status as heir.
Jiang Wanning has been busy with other things recently and has not paid much attention to the internal struggles within the Xie family.
Xie Yanchuan and Old Master Xie, one in the open and the other in the dark, worked together to eliminate many people who were ready to make moves.
This caused considerable turmoil within the Xie family.
Since May Day is in two days, Mr. Xie announced the time to agree on the successor with everyone in the Xie family.
Xie Yanchuan's uncles and aunts could no longer hold back, so they called together the rest of their brothers and sisters, and dragged Grandpa Xie to the living room of the old house to start a "rehearsal" meeting in advance.
The moment Jiang Wanning returned, the already intense conflict was further escalated to the point of exploding.
"Old man, are you mistaken? This is an internal meeting of our Xie family! You, you asked her, an outsider, to come here. What's the matter?"
The first person to speak was Xie Yanchuan's second aunt Xie Yuewen.
She was the one who could not hide things, and after the last family dinner, when Jiang Wanning directly rejected her and Xie Xiwen's face, she simply stopped pretending.
"Yes, old man, no matter what Wan Ning says, she is just a little girl, she doesn't understand these things..."
Uncle Xie Zhiwen hesitated to speak: "...The most important thing is, her last name is Jiang, isn't it?"
"Although Wan Ning is Yan Chuan's fiancée now, she is still just a wife who has not yet married into the family. Yan Chuan is now dead, and although the family hasn't had time to arrange the funeral..."
"But she's still so young. No matter what, you shouldn't come here and become a widow. Isn't this ruining the girl's life?"
Jiang Wanning's eyes flashed, and she met the shrewd and sparkling eyes of Xie Kaiwen, the fifth son of the Xie family, who was saying this.
