Huo Qizhen had just curled his lips into a slight smile when he saw a dark, unsightly face. He paused for a moment before realizing that it was Jian Yu.
"The changes are huge."
Jian Yu nodded and noticed that after the person's skin darkened, the swelling in their eyelids became less noticeable.
Jian Yu rubbed his face, pretending to be relaxed, "Did you stay up all night? Don't stay up, go catch up on your sleep."
"Not sleepy."
Jian Yu didn't believe it at all. "Go to sleep."
Huo Qizhen: "It's been a long time since we last met. I want to bring you back as soon as possible."
Jian Yu felt uneasy. "I'm fine."
Huo Qizhen: "Did you stay up late and your eyelids are swollen? Your eyes are still red."
Jian Yu now truly regrets making the video call.
He made up an excuse by saying he played a few games.
Whether Huo Qizhen believes it or not is irrelevant.
"I'm going to take a nap now."
"Wait a minute, the identity of the woman who died the day before yesterday has been confirmed. Shen Qianyuan knows that their people have targeted the wrong person. If it is not safe enough for you here, I will arrange for you to go out to sea."
When it comes to going to sea, Jian Yu immediately thinks of Lu Jiao.
I wonder what this guy is doing?
He nodded. "Okay."
After cutting off Huo Qizhen's video call, Jian Yu finally launched a barrage of urgent calls to Lu Jiao.
Lu Jiao finally accepted the call.
"What happened?"
Jian Yu didn't beat around the bush and told him directly what had happened in the past few days.
Lu Jiao, “…”
I thought that once I got rid of Liu Xi, everything would be fine, but I didn't expect that I would still be exposed.
"How can you be so sure it was Liu Xi who did it?"
Jian Yu recalled the day he went to Liu Xi's room to borrow sanitary napkins and discovered that Liu Xi also had a mobile phone with all virtual identities on it.
Lu Jiao really didn't know about this phone.
"Because Liu Xi's mother took away both of her phones, this phone must have been turned off a long time ago because of low battery. It was fully charged a couple of days ago before it was turned on. Aunt Liu didn't know the password, so the phone had been in standby mode. I checked the phone and found that Liu Xi had posted a message on the day we left, in which she mentioned me."
Jian Yu still remembers the shock she felt when she saw the video. Liu Xi treated her as a rival and posted comparison pictures of the two of them in the post.
Question for everyone: Why didn't Lu Jiao choose her?
Almost everyone who replied to the post sided with Liu Xi, criticizing Jian Yu's appearance from head to toe, saying that she was not as pretty or elegant as Liu Xi, and that she was good for nothing except seducing men.
Even though it's a candid photo of her, she looks simple and appropriate in a down jacket and glutinous rice pants.
Liu Xi's photo is from summer, showing her in a tight-fitting, see-through short skirt.
How can the word "seduce" be used to describe her?
As the post was being published, Liu Xi suddenly received a private message. After opening it, she quickly deleted the post.
The person who sent Liu Xi a private message asked if she knew Jian Yu's current location.
Liu Xi must have realized something, because she asked the other person what they wanted to do with Jian Yu.
The other person claimed to be Jian Yu's family member, saying that Jian Yu had run away from home after arguing with her family and hoped that she could help persuade her to come back.
Liu Xi seemed to be considering it, as she didn't reply for quite a while.
At this point, the other party said they would give Liu Xi a large sum of money as a reward.
Liu Xi replied with a cold laugh, saying that she wasn't short of money.
A minute later, the other party sent over a missing person notice.
Seeing the million-dollar reward, Liu Xi's resolve began to waver. "If I can provide clues, will you really give me a million?"
The other party did not reply, but sent another missing person notice.
Twenty million??
Liu Xi immediately made up her mind, packed her things, and went to find Jian Yu and Lu Jiao.
Unfortunately, when Liu Xi was leaving, she ran into Xiao Tian's family who came to propose marriage. Unable to find a chance to explain to her family, she secretly slipped away when no one was looking.
As a result, I forgot my bag.
That's why she didn't bring her phone or wallet.
Shen Qianyuan's men didn't wait for Liu Xi to give them their exact location. Instead, they used Liu Xi's identity to find out that she had gone to the city and immediately led their men there.
This led to the tragic scene of a car crash and fatalities at the entrance of a public restroom.
Jian Yu said, "If possible, I hope you can take me abroad to the Shen family."
Lu Jiao shook his head, "Chen Ding is in great danger."
"I'm not here to see Shen Ding, but to see Old Madam Shen."
Lu Jiao didn't want to discourage Jian Yu, but he had to say, "I heard that Old Madam Shen has passed away a long time ago."
"No. Old Mrs. Shen was deeply affected by the unexpected death of her second son, which caused her health to deteriorate rapidly, forcing her to stay away from people and recuperate. She hasn't appeared in public for almost twenty years, which is why many people thought she had already passed away. In fact, she has been recuperating at her second son's favorite manor."
Lu Jiao couldn't figure out what Jian Yu was planning to do, and whether Old Madam Shen was alive or not didn't affect her much.
How did you know?
"Qizhen found it."
Huo Qizhen's information was reliable, Lu Jiao nodded, "What do you want with her?"
"I suspect that Shen Ding is not Old Mrs. Shen's biological son."
"What?" Lu Jiao asked, "Why would you have such a suspicion?"
“I have been searching for information about the Shen family. Today I came across some photos of their family. There is a little girl in the photos who is very strange. She was born in the same hospital and on the same day as Shen Ding. What’s more, the little girl looks very similar to Shen’s grandmother.”
"..." Lu Jiao said, "You suspect the two children were switched just because of a birth date? I'm not trying to be mean, but there are so many people in this world who look alike. You can't say anything just by looking at them."
"Therefore, a paternity test is needed."
Lu Jiao reminded him, "Shen Ding and Old Master Shen look quite alike."
"I know."
“Shen Ding is the current head of the Shen family conglomerate. If he is not the biological son of Old Madam Shen, he is at least the biological son of Old Master Shen. As long as he is of the Shen family bloodline, whether he is Old Madam Shen’s son or not will not shake his position.”
"No. Old Madam Shen's second son died unexpectedly because of her eldest son Shen Ding's wrong decision. Since they were both her own sons, Old Madam Shen could only choose to keep quiet, but she couldn't get over the hurdle in her heart, so she chose to stay away from the Shen family and Shen Ding and live alone in the manor where her second son had lived. If my guess is true, Old Madam Shen will be a sharp knife."
Lu Jiao thought Jian Yu was being fanciful, saying, "Your imagination is far too rich."
"Whether it is or not, I want to confirm."
Lu Jiao disagreed, feeling it was too dangerous.
If not, Jian Yu's fate will be very tragic.
"That's why I asked you for help."
"This is bad. There isn't a single good person in the Shen family. Based on your suspicions, not only you, but even I might not be able to come back alive."
"Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Shen Ding's mercenaries are too strong. I can't just sit here and wait to die."
Ding ding ding---
As Jian Yu spoke, she tapped on the screen notification and discovered that the car that had appeared at the entrance of the public restroom earlier had appeared in the city where she was now.
And it's only three streets away.
Jian Yu immediately became serious. "I don't have time. Chen Ding's men followed my car and found me nearby."
