Chapter 1340 Sometimes it’s scary
Cheng Xiaoyu was surprised after hearing this: "Mr. Shi, how did you know?"
Isn’t the big boss’s insight a little too strong?
Shi Chenyuan smiled, his fingers fell on her earlobe and gently twisted it.
"Let me guess again, she asked you to persuade me to let the Yu family go?"
Cheng Xiaoyu nodded again: "Yes, Auntie asked me to persuade you not to go against Yu Haiqiang anymore. She said that if you continue like this, both of you will suffer."
Shi Chenyuan moved his hand to her shoulder and patted her: "I know what's going on with this matter, don't worry."
He looked calm, but beneath this calm surface, he seemed to be hiding a lot of worries.
During this period, Mr. Shi often showed this expression, which made Cheng Xiaoyu a little worried.
She held onto Mr. Shi's hand, stared into his eyes, and asked, "Auntie said that you killed the people who bullied me in order to avenge me. Is that true?"
Shi Chenyuan frowned: "Where did she hear that?"
"Mr. Shi..." Cheng Xiaoyu's throat was dry and he swallowed nervously, "Did you really kill someone?"
Shi Chenyuan didn't answer and glanced at her.
The sharp eagle-like eyes stared at Cheng Xiaoyu, making her feel uneasy.
"Mr. Shi, please don't scare me. I'm timid." Cheng Xiaoyu heard his own voice trembling.
Shi Chenyuan raised his hand and tapped her forehead. "Am I that terrifying in your heart? Would I kill without blinking an eye?"
Cheng Xiaoyu nodded: "Yeah, it's quite scary sometimes."
"Then you better be careful," Shi Chenyuan curled the corners of his lips and revealed a dangerous smile: "It's best not to do anything bad behind my back."
“How could I…”
However, as I listened, I began to tell her jokes, and my nervousness eased a lot.
"Answer me first, what Auntie said, is it true?"
"That guy is indeed dead, but I didn't kill him."
Afterwards, Shi Chenyuan told her Assistant Liao's investigation results.
On the day Cheng Xiaoyu was kidnapped, when Shi Chenyuan's subordinates rushed to the roadside outside the abandoned factory, the man who attempted to bully Xiaoyu was already dead, strangled to death.
It is still unclear who did it. We can only speculate that it was done by Yu Haiqiang's men. It may be because the guy was seriously injured and could not escape, so he was directly silenced.
Since someone was killed in the incident, the police started an investigation, but due to insufficient evidence, there was no progress in the case.
As for this kidnapping case, Yu Haiqiang has erased all evidence. Even if Xiaoyu goes to report the case, there is no way to directly pull Yu Haiqiang out.
Therefore, Shi Chenyuan did not continue to spend energy on this matter, but secretly investigated Yu Haiqiang's past crimes while competing with Yu Haiqiang in business.
Of course, the process is not easy.
Yu Haiqiang has been entrenched in Haicheng for many years. He has a large sphere of influence and is cunning. It is not easy to eradicate him completely, and Shi Chenyuan is inevitably exhausted.
But she didn't expect that his silence would make her start to have wild thoughts.
After listening to Shi Zong's explanation, Cheng Xiaoyu felt relieved and leaned on his shoulder, "You should have told me earlier..."
"Then you advised me not to do this earlier?"
Cheng Xiaoyu was silent for a few seconds and shook his head.
"If Yu Haiqiang doesn't suffer a hard defeat, he'll become even more aggressive, using everything you care about to coerce you into giving in. By then, even if you marry his daughter, he'll only become more greedy and might even take over your company."
Cheng Xiaoyu thought it through and realized that neither compromise nor silence would make things better.
Once you are caught by the other party, they will only bully you even more.
Mr. Shi must have seen this fact clearly before he took the initiative to attack.
So Cheng Xiaoyu could only disappoint Shi's mother's expectations. Not only should she not stop Mr. Shi, she should also support him unconditionally and pray that he would win this battle.
Shi Chenyuan looked at her sideways and said with a smile: "Not bad, you have made progress. I will give you a small reward tonight."
