Chapter 384 Confession
"elder brother……"
Chen Ci looked at Yan Wenxi, who looked like he was making arrangements for his funeral, and the uneasiness in his heart reached its peak in an instant, and his heart suddenly started beating faster.
However, Yan Wenxi said to himself, "Don't worry, these private properties have been investigated by the relevant departments. They are all clean and there is no problem. I won't implicate you, let alone harm you. Your sister-in-law doesn't know anything, and she's pregnant now, so she's not good at dealing with many things. You can take 30% of the subsequent profits from these private properties. I won't let you help me in vain."
"Brother, I don't need this little money!" Chen Ci was anxious. She urgently needed to know the truth. "I just want to know what happened. Why did you suddenly tell me all this? Is it, is there an emergency?"
Seeing Shen Ci's eager reaction from the heart, Yan Wenxi smiled instead with his lips curled.
It can be seen that this sister is really worried about herself.
The two have not known each other for long, only more than half a year, but the relationship between them is like that of real siblings, and this brotherly and sisterly love is not simply a superficial affection based on interests.
Shen Ci really recognized him as his brother.
And because he trusted his sister, he entrusted all the important matters to her at this time.
"It's okay, you don't have to worry. It's just that this time I have to lower my head and stay inside for a while."
He spoke softly, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.
"You called me that day and said you were going to dinner at Loushang Huiguan and suddenly remembered me?" Yan Wenxi changed the subject, referring to the phone call a few days ago, and said with a smile, "You must have had a premonition in your heart, right? I also got the news that afternoon. The person who was taken away at Loushang Huiguan that day was Wu Hai, the leader of a small gang."
Chen Ci's face was gloomy, and he didn't know what to say for a moment. He just felt very blocked in his heart, and he couldn't breathe.
"I'm not a good person. From the beginning, I've been mentally prepared for this situation. I knew this day would come, so don't panic. I know what's going on, and it's not the end of the road yet."
Shen Ci’s eyes were already red.
“Brother, you…”
Shen Ci forced himself to calm down and was about to say something, but as soon as he opened his mouth, Yan Wenxi raised his hand to stop him.
Yan Wenxi slowly raised his hand and took off the sunglasses on his face. This was the first time Shen Ci saw him take off his sunglasses. There was a very deep scar in the middle of his left eye, and that left eye was obviously a simulated eyeball.
The reason why he always wore sunglasses became clear at this moment.
"Everything I can tell you is within the safe range. Don't ask about other things, and even if you do, I won't tell you, because knowing this won't do you any good. We have vested interests, and I can't guarantee that the police won't come to question you in the future. Everything I can tell you is something you can talk about with peace of mind. I don't want you to say the wrong thing because you're trying to protect me, as that would implicate you. Do you understand?"
"elder brother……"
"You called me brother, and I can't let you call me that in vain." Yan Wenxi took a deep breath and looked around at the people he brought with him today: "These people are the most loyal people under my command. This is just a part of them..."
Yan Wenxi laughed to himself as he spoke: "Because the other part should go in with me as companions."
"These people are clean. Some are senior executives of the group, and some are managers of my private property. I brought them here today so that they can recognize you and make it easier for you to mobilize them when needed in the future."
"Ah Ci, I brought your sister-in-law to see you today because I wanted to ask you to take good care of her and the child. I may not have much time left, and I feel bad about leaving such a heavy burden on you. But to be honest, there aren't many people I can completely trust, but I do believe in you!"
After he finished speaking, he looked at Shen Ci. The artificial eyeball in his left eye had no temperature, but his right eye was filled with strong emotions.
There is guilt, gratitude, and smiles.
The doubts and guesses in Shen Ci's heart have all been answered. She remembered that she called her brother to make an appointment with him after seeing someone being taken away a few days ago.
On the first call, he said he was busy and had no time, but after hanging up, he called her back and asked her to meet him today. I guess he had made up his mind at that time to entrust his pregnant sister-in-law to her care.
"Don't worry, brother. I will help you take good care of your sister-in-law, and I will also help you properly handle these things you have entrusted to me." Shen Ci tried hard to hold back his tears, and nodded in assurance with a choked voice.
A smile spread across Yan Wenxi's lips. He usually had little expression on his face, and this was the first time Shen Ci had seen him smile so widely.
"Thanks."
Chen Ci had no idea how to enjoy the meal, and his heart was filled with mixed emotions. Apart from a brief acquaintance with the people brought by Yan Wenxi, Chen Ci's mind and heart were in a mess.
On the way back, Chen Ci sat in the car, opened the window and let in the cool night breeze, trying to make himself more awake.
She looked at the bustling night scene of Longcheng and fell into a trance for a moment.
Her trajectory in this life has completely changed. The people and things she encountered were things she had never imagined before, and Yan Wenxi was definitely the most special one among them.
He is like a person in a movie, but more real than the people in the movie.

Film Academy girls' dormitory.
"Chu Han, are you suffering from insomnia again?"
When Chen Li opened her eyes early in the morning, she saw Wang Chuhan leaning on the bed watching TV series. This had been going on for several days in a row. Wang Chuhan said she couldn't sleep.
The reason was simple. During the last audition, the role chosen by Wang Chuhan was indeed very competitive, but the casting director team did not decide on a candidate on the spot. Instead, they mentioned the names of Wang Chuhan and another girl who also performed well, and told them to wait for news. They would be notified once the candidate was confirmed.
This is a good thing, indicating that Wang Chuhan has a great chance of getting this role.
But because of this, his expectations were instantly raised, and the result was unknown, so Wang Chuhan suddenly fell into anxiety.
I suffer from insomnia all night long until I can no longer hold on due to the daytime sleepiness, and then I continue to suffer from insomnia at night.
Vicious cycle.
"You're awake, Ali."
Chen Li got out of bed and walked to the other person's bed. She looked at her worriedly and said, "Your face has turned pale from staying up late. You can't go on like this!"
"I really can't sleep." Wang Chuhan had a dejected and pessimistic expression on his face. "A-Li, it's been several days. Could it be that someone else has been chosen? It's just that I was not selected and they didn't inform me?"
Chen Li was speechless, because it might indeed be the case that the crew would only notify the selected people, and would not specifically inform the unsuccessful people.
