Chapter 872 I Don't Trust Anyone
After all, they had only been in the United States for less than two weeks, and he had already attacked Xiaoruo twice.
Although neither attempt has succeeded, something that has happened twice is highly likely to happen a third time, or even more.
He has to be on guard.
Sang Ruo nodded gently: "Alright, so that you can focus on your work, let Aunt Feng come and take care of me. That way, I might recover faster."
After all, although she was bored, she wasn't completely without work. She hadn't finished the design drafts due every Monday and definitely needed to work quickly to complete them.
She cannot let her injury affect the operation of the Chinese Studies Studio.
"Before Acheng and Aunt Feng arrive, I'll ask Lu Nanchu for leave." Bo Jinyan was worried about leaving her home alone: "Otherwise, I'll still be worried about you being home alone."
A direct flight from Beijing to New York takes at least fourteen hours.
Sang Ruo nodded again: "Okay, but after Aunt Feng and Acheng arrive, you have to resume your normal work. You can't let this delay your work, understand?"
She was injured this time to protect her work.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have been injured; her artwork would have just been stolen by those men in black.
“I know.” Bo Jinyan understood her: “This overseas project is Dad’s most important project. How could I allow it to fail before it even starts?”
However, once Ah Cheng and Aunt Feng arrive, he'll have to settle accounts with his uncle.
After attempting to harm Xiaoruo twice, don't blame him for turning his back on you.
Just as Sang Ruo was about to speak, her phone suddenly rang in her pocket. Bo Jinyan took the phone out for her, handed it to her, and glanced at the caller ID: "It's Nan Chu calling."
Sang Ruo pressed the answer button directly: "Hello, Nan Chu."
"Sister-in-law, I heard you were injured. How is your injury? Should I come and see you?" Lu Nanchu's tone was very anxious.
Sang Ruo's lips curved into a faint smile: "No need, I only suffered a minor injury to my arm, it's nothing serious."
"It's good that nothing happened." Lu Nanchu was relieved, but still asked worriedly, "Sister-in-law, do you know who hired those men in black to hurt you this time? Have you found out?"
Sang Ruo chuckled lightly: "No, we're investigating too. Do you have any leads?"
"I only called you because I couldn't find any clues." Lu Nanchu felt that this matter was related to her: "Only the three of us knew about your jade carving design exhibition in New York, not even Xu Chen knew..."
"I don't understand what went wrong? How did we get targeted?"
Could it be that Xu Chen secretly investigated this matter?
She hadn't been back to their marital home in New York these past few days, so she wasn't as aware of what Xu Chen was doing as she used to be.
Sang Ruo's voice deepened for a moment: "Your cousin and I suspect that Xu Chen noticed you when you gave our curator your business card at the French restaurant that day. Otherwise, it's hard to explain everything that happened today."
Perhaps the person who did the deed wasn't Xu Chen, but the person who leaked the information was definitely Xu Chen!
They had already had many conflicts with him because of Wen Qingyi, so it was hard to guarantee that he wouldn't retaliate against her for it.
"When I gave your curator my business card?" Her words caught Lu Nanchu's attention: "Cousin-in-law, is this because of my momentary oversight? If that's the case, then I've committed a grave sin!"
Even though she knew Xu Chen was present, she still gave the curator's business card to her cousin-in-law right in front of him...
How could she have overlooked this detail?
She deserves to die!
Even through the screen, Sang Ruo could feel her regret and self-blame: "Nan Chu, now is not the time for you to regret and blame yourself. I am injured and cannot investigate. You have to help me find out about Xu Chen and see how much he is involved in this matter."
Although she and Ayan were almost certain that Xu Chen had leaked the information, there was no evidence.
What she's looking for now is concrete evidence.
“Okay, sister-in-law, I will definitely help you find the evidence.” Lu Nanchu’s tone was very firm: “Trust me, I won’t let you down.”
After saying that, she hung up the phone.
Sang Ruo put her phone aside and heard Bo Jinyan say in her ear, "Is Nan Chu asking about your situation?"
"Yes, she said she would help me find concrete evidence."
Her tone was indifferent, but it made Bo Jinyan chuckle: "She might be able to find the evidence, but whether she'll be willing to give it to us in the end, I'm not sure."
After all, Xu Chen is still her husband and the man beside her.
As his wife, and considering their many years of relationship, from school uniforms to wedding dresses, can she really let go of her feelings for Xu Chen?
If she hesitates to hand over the evidence to them because she is reluctant to part with it, then wouldn't all the suffering Xiao Ruo has endured be for nothing?
He preferred to believe in himself.
“Nan Chu has no feelings for Xu Chen anymore. You saw their argument at the restaurant that day.” Sang Ruo didn’t understand why he would ask such a question: “Is there any doubt about that?”
Bo Jinyan sneered, "That's hard to say."
“Xiao Ruo, you have to understand that no matter how little affection they have, they are still a married couple with so many years of relationship. Even if they have a disagreement, it's only temporary. I always feel that Nan Chu's heart is not ruthless enough.”
If she were ruthless enough, she would rather sell her own feelings than watch Xu Yi and Xu Chen, this father and son, continue to hurt Xiao Ruo like this.
Ultimately, she still had some feelings for Xu Chen and couldn't bear to part with him.
Upon hearing this, Sang Ruo's expression darkened slightly: "You mean, Nan Chu hasn't completely made up her mind to cut ties with Xu Chen yet? But they've been in a cold war for a long time..."
As soon as she got to this point, the rest of her words got stuck in her throat.
Yes, the Cold War is one thing, but what if it's just a show for others? That's not impossible.
She didn't want to think that way, much less doubt Nan Chu.
But right now, asking her to place all her bets on Nan Chu alone would be too high a price to pay.
That's too risky; we really can't do that.
Even if they are partners, they should make specific distinctions.
"It seems you've figured it out." Bo Jinyan was satisfied with her performance and smiled faintly. "Xiao Ruo, after Aunt Feng and A Cheng arrive, I'll go to the Xu family."
"Instead of waiting here for Lu Nanchu's investigation results, I might as well take matters into my own hands."
Sang Ruo knew that A Yan was determined this time and was determined to get justice from the Xu family.
It seems another bloody storm is brewing.
