When Mu Chaochao heard Shen Lin say that he was going to hand her over to the police, she became extremely nervous.
"Chen Lin, Aunt Mu has been so good to me. Aren't you afraid of hurting her feelings by doing this?"
Shen Lin turned around, glanced at Mu Chaochao, and then asked, "Do you really think I care that much?"
After saying this last sentence, Shen Lin didn't even look at Mu Chaochao before turning around and leaving.
Tang Song will handle the rest.
Although they hadn't obtained the photos, Shen Lin had already guessed most of the facts. The main reason for investigating this matter was to avenge Song Zhengchu; they couldn't let Song Zhengchu suffer this car accident for nothing.
only……
It was Mu Chaochao who did it, and it goes without saying who's behind it.
Shen Lin sat in the car, holding his phone. After hesitating for a while, he finally dialed Ye Xinning's number.
The phone rang for a long time before it was answered.
Ye Xinning answered the phone, wondering why she was being called at this time, when Shen Lin's voice came through the phone.
"Ningning."
Ye Xinning had just put Song Zhengchu to sleep when she heard this, and hummed in response, "Is there something you need from me?"
"Where's Dad? Is he asleep?"
"Um."
"How about I come to the hospital to see you?"
Shen Lin's voice was deep. As Ye Xinning listened to the voice coming from the phone, she felt for some reason that Shen Lin seemed a little strange tonight.
"You don't need to come. I'm fine on my own at the hospital. You can go do your own thing and don't worry about me."
Is Ji Jianshen in the hospital?
Ye Xinning paused, her hand holding the phone still.
Before she could speak, Shen Lin spoke again, "He must be here, otherwise why wouldn't you let me go to the hospital? Well, it's good that he's here. He can always be with you, making you feel at ease and less tired. That's all for now, I'll hang up now."
Before Ye Xinning could even speak, Shen Lin had already hung up the phone after finishing speaking.
Ye Xinning stared at the disconnected phone, lost in thought for a long time.
Ji Jianshen stood beside her, watching her silently hold the phone. He didn't need to guess who was calling.
"Should we go find him?"
Suddenly hearing Ji Jianshen's voice, Ye Xinning looked up, paused for a second before speaking, "Why would I go to see him?"
"You're very worried about him."
Ye Xinning looked into the distance and said nonchalantly, "You're overthinking it. I didn't."
Ji Jianshen chuckled softly, and the two went outside to sit down.
"If others can't tell, do you think I can't? You don't need to deliberately hide anything from me."
Ye Xinning lowered her head and smiled silently, "You're always like this."
He always so keenly perceived what she was thinking, always making her unable to hide her true feelings.
"We've broken up, and I don't have those feelings anymore. Actually, I'm doing pretty well right now."
We've separated, but my heart and eyes are still filled with Chen Lin.
Ye Xinning didn't need to say more; Ji Jianshen already knew.
"His condition probably isn't very good. Did I tell him about my situation?"
When Ji Jianshen's background was mentioned, Ye Xinning nodded, "All of it?"
"No, they didn't say anything about Qin Yongwang."
Ye Xinning understood. "It's better not to say anything. Shen Lin and Gu Shilin have a very good relationship. Telling him at this time might affect your plans."
When Ye Xinning said this, she lowered her head, so Ji Jianshen couldn't see her expression clearly.
Ji Jianshen remained silent for a long time before finally asking Ye Xinning, "Do you think everything I'm doing now is excessive?"
Ye Xinning looked up in surprise, wondering why Ji Jianshen would think that way.
Why would you ask that?
"Nothing, I just thought of it."
Ji Jianshen said calmly.
Ye Xinning thought about it carefully before speaking, "In all these things, you are completely the victim. It's perfectly understandable that you want to take back what belongs to you and want revenge. There's no question of whether it's right or wrong."
"What if Shen Lin helps Gu Shilin to deal with me? What would you choose?"
Ji Jianshen's question silenced Ye Xinning. For her, the silence wasn't due to inner conflict, but rather...
She hadn't expected Ji Jianshen to ask such a question.
Ji Jianshen belatedly realized that his question was inappropriate. "Did I make things difficult for you? If you don't want to answer, you don't have to."
Ye Xinning shook her head. "There's no good or bad answer. I just think it's strange that you asked this question. It shouldn't be my turn to answer, but since you asked, I thought about it. Whether it's you or Shen Lin, I'm just an outsider. I don't get involved in these things. When you need me, I can talk to you. That's the only thing I can do. Ji Jianshen, you should know that I'm not a passionate person at heart. As for Shen Lin... whatever he does has nothing to do with me."
Such an answer would be surprising to others, but to Ye Xinning, Ji Jianshen felt that everything was just right.
"I see."
He said in a low voice.
As for the rest, there's no need to ask too much. Asking too much will only make him pressure Ye Xinning.
...
Around 1 a.m., Gu Shilin received a call from Tang Song, who said that Shen Lin was drunk at a bar and refused to leave, asking him to find a way to help.
Gu Shilin went to the bar immediately after receiving the call.
When they arrived, Shen Lin was already unconscious.
Gu Shilin frowned, wondering how someone who seemed perfectly fine could have gotten so drunk.
