Chapter 132: Suspicion Begins
Under Shen Ningyuan's surprised gaze, Ji Yunnuo looked calm and slowly raised his hand to place a piece.
The chess piece collided with the chessboard, accompanied by a crisp sound, and Ji Yunnuo's low voice was clearly heard by Shen Ningyuan: "Yes, it's her!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Ningyuan couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, a trace of surprise and thought flashed in her eyes, and she murmured to herself: "I didn't expect that a woman fostered in the Marquis' Mansion would be so hidden. Such thoughts and means are indeed beyond my expectation."
While thinking, Shen Ningyuan's thoughts suddenly flashed back to the scene in the villa.
That day, she heard with her own ears a woman talking to a masked man.
The woman also assured the masked man in a firm tone that she would keep a close eye on the Ji family.
She also felt that the woman's voice was somewhat familiar.
But at this moment, Shen Ningyuan's mind suddenly became clear, and all the clues were instantly straightened out.
Looking at the entire capital, who can keep an eye on the Ji family's every move most conveniently and covertly?
Only people who have lived in the Ji family for a long time can do this!
Now it seems that the woman who talked to the masked man that day was the cousin who was fostered in the Marquis' Mansion - Chen Moer!
Seeing Shen Ningyuan's expression changing again and again, Ji Yunnuo knew that she had figured out some things.
He immediately asked, "Sister-in-law, have you figured it out?"
Shen Ningyuan nodded, but did not respond, her brows furrowed even more tightly.
At this moment, she felt a chill rising from her back.
It was as if there was an invisible yet huge net that tightly wrapped her up, with no way to escape!
It turned out that she and the Shen family had been secretly targeted since some time, and were caught in a carefully planned conspiracy!
The fate of the Shen family in the previous life was premeditated!
“I see, that’s how it is!”
Shen Ningyuan gritted her teeth and said "So that's it" twice
Hearing this, Ji Yunnuo curled up the corners of his mouth into a meaningful smile, and an imperceptible complexity emerged in his eyes.
Then he returned to normal and said in a deep voice: "Sister-in-law, the Ji family is in a mess, which is much deeper than you think. There are many things you can't imagine!"
Shen Ningyuan looked at Ji Yunnuo coldly, with a trace of scrutiny and questioning in her eyes: "Ji Yunnuo, are you telling me this just for the deal between us?"
Ji Yunnuo pursed his lips and chuckled, then said slowly, "I have already made it clear at the beginning that since I am making a deal with my sister-in-law, I will show my utmost sincerity and tell you everything I know."
Shen Ningyuan raised her eyebrows, a hint of amusement flashed in her eyes, and she looked at Ji Yunnuo with interest.
He asked slowly, "Ji Yunnuo, you are so smart and thoughtful, does the Ji family know about this?"
Ji Yunnuo's expression froze slightly, revealing an indescribable subtlety.
However, Shen Ningyuan did not give him a chance to respond, and said to herself: "I think, probably don't know."
"If Ji Yunchuan and the Ji family knew that you were so capable, given their way of doing things, you wouldn't be alive today."
After saying this, Ji Yunnuo was surprised for a moment, and said, "So, my sister-in-law has seen it all."
Shen Ningyuan said nothing, but placed the move calmly.
The movements were graceful and calm, with a sense of composure.
Ji Yunnuo had never thought that Shen Ningyuan, who was kind and virtuous in the eyes of his subordinates, had such a side.
For a moment, I was actually a little dazed.
Just at this moment, a gentle knock on the door interrupted Ji Yunnuo.
Lao Guai's voice came from outside the door: "Boss, the sake is ready."
Ji Yunnuo subconsciously said: "Send it in!"
However, after he spoke, there was no movement outside the door.
Ji Yunnuo frowned, a hint of surprise flashed through his mind, and he was about to urge him again.
Shen Ningyuan's unhurried voice followed: "Come in!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lao Guai pushed the door open and walked in respectfully with a smile on his face.
He walked straight to the table, carefully placed the sake, then raised his head, looked at Shen Ningyuan with a smile on his face and asked respectfully: "Boss, do you have any other instructions?"
"No more, you can go down." Shen Ningyuan said indifferently and calmly.
"Okay!"
Lao Guai responded and turned away briskly.
From beginning to end, he never even glanced at his former employer Ji Yunnuo.
It can be said that there was not even a single unnecessary glance.
Ji Yunnuo's face darkened, and he couldn't help but shout at Lao Guai: "Wait!"
Lao Guai stopped, turned around and looked at Ji Yunnuo, and asked slowly: "My dear guest, do you have any instructions?"
Ji Yunnuo twitched his lips: "What? Guests?"
Ji Yunnuo couldn't hold it in any longer: "Old Guai, you better understand that your monthly allowance for this month is paid by me!"
Lao Guai smiled and said, "You gave me the monthly allowance, so what?"
He looked at Shen Ningyuan flatteringly: "My current boss is Miss Shen, hehe..."
After saying that, Lao Guai turned around and walked out of the room without caring about Ji Yunnuo's reaction.
After Lao Guai closed the door, Ji Yunnuo came back to his senses. A trace of helplessness appeared on his face, and he cursed in a low voice: "This Lao Guai, really..."
Chen Ningyuan smiled faintly, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and said softly: "Now I am the owner of Ningle Tower, of course he has to listen to me."
Ji Yunnuo forced a slightly awkward fake smile and said helplessly: "Sister-in-law is right. I know he should listen to you. But, I have been his boss for so many years, and he doesn't even give me this little face. It's really too much."
"It's okay, it's not important."
Shen Ningyuan waved her hand and smiled indifferently, then changed the subject and asked, "When did she come to the Ji family? I remember that she had already lived in the Ji family before I married into the Ji family. Moreover, it seems that she has lived there for many years?"
Ji Yunnuo nodded and said, "She has lived in the Ji family for five years. In the Ji family, she has always been low-key and has little presence, like an invisible person."
"If my sister-in-law hadn't started going out more frequently after she got married, and hadn't caught my attention, I wouldn't have noticed anything strange about her."
Hearing this, Shen Ningyuan's eyebrows sank, and he thought to himself:
Five years...
In other words, the plot against the Shen family had been planned five years ago?
Shen Ningyuan thought for a moment, and asked solemnly: "Based on your understanding of her, how do you think she will deal with this 'debt collection' crisis?"
Ji Yunnuo shook his head, a helpless look on his face, and said: "Sister-in-law, you don't know, she has always acted unconventionally, and her thoughts are even more unpredictable. I really can't figure it out."
"Oh?" A hint of curiosity and inquiry flashed in Shen Ningyuan's eyes: "Even you can't figure it out?"
Ji Yunnuo shook his head and laughed, "It's really hard to figure it out. She acts like a madman. Who can predict what a madman will do next?"
"Mad man?" Shen Ningyuan was startled again.
Xie Wanzhou is also a madman.
It seems reasonable that a madman's subordinates are also madmen.
So, should she believe what Xie Wanzhou said?
Is the masked man in the villa that day related to him?
For a moment, Shen Ningyuan began to doubt Xie Wanzhou again.
Ji Yunnuo paused, and then continued: "However, I can be sure that she will be able to handle today's matter properly."
"Okay, then I'll wait and see."
Shen Ningyuan picked up the wine jug and slowly poured a glass of wine for Ji Yunnuo.
With a faint light flashing in his eyes, he said meaningfully: "I am really curious about how capable this person who has been lurking in the Ji family and secretly watching me for a year is!"
