In the yard, the sunlight shines through the treetops, casting mottled shadows, and the breeze blows gently, bringing bursts of floral fragrance.
Song Jiao sat upright at the table, her eyes clear and firm, as if she could see through everything.
She looked at Yun You who was standing beside her and asked softly, "Have you arranged everything I asked you to do before?"
Yun You nodded, a confident smile on her face, "Miss, don't worry, it's been done." Her voice was crisp and pleasant, like pearls falling on a jade plate.
"In any town where the Shen family's assets are located, our people will be on high alert and will suppress them directly. In a few days, they will be left with nowhere to go and will have no choice but to pawn the Shen family's jewelry." Yun You's tone revealed an unquestionable certainty.
The lady is really amazing. She even knows the direction they are going.
It's even exactly the same as what the lady said.
Upon hearing this, Song Jiao nodded with satisfaction.
She knew that Yun You had always been reliable and prudent in his work, and this time was no exception.
She took a deep breath and looked into the distance, as if she had already seen the scene where Li Yexiao and Shen Yuli were desperate.
"That's good. You keep an eye on them at all times and tell me if anything happens." Song Jiao's voice was soft, with a smile on her lips. She seemed to be fully prepared, waiting for the fate of the two culprits.
After waiting for Yun You to leave, she immediately opened the system screen.
In Lingcheng, Li Yexiao and Shen Yuli sat in a shop. Wherever they looked, they saw people standing at the door of the shop, pointing and talking, but no one stepped into the shop.
This scene made the two of them anxious and uncomfortable.
Shen Yuli frowned and said worriedly, "Brother Ye Xiao, the shop has been open for many days, but there are no customers. What's the reason?"
She looked at the whispering crowd outside, feeling increasingly uneasy. Li Yexiao, seeing this, sneered and said nonchalantly, "Why are you panicking? It's normal for a new store to have few customers. Don't let your imagination run wild and think the Shen family can reach this point."
Shen Yuli felt a little relieved upon hearing this, but she couldn't hide her worry. She suddenly remembered that she had reported the matter to the police before leaving the Shen family, and she couldn't help but ask in confusion, "Why haven't we heard any news about them since we left the Shen family? Could it be that they already know what we did?"
Li Yexiao's eyes flashed with a sinister look when he heard this, but he pretended to be calm and said, "What can that loser Shen Yuhuan do? Just spend time with me and don't worry about these trivial matters."
Yet, he secretly wondered: Has the Shen family learned the truth? If so, how should they respond? What kind of turmoil and crisis is hidden in this Lingcheng?
Although Li Yexiao said he didn't care, Shen Yuli's doubts were like a seed, quietly taking root and sprouting in her heart.
She looked out the door from time to time. The whispering crowd seemed to be a thorn in her heart, making her feel uneasy.
As the days passed, the business of the store remained eerily slow.
Li Yexiao also began to become anxious. He often paced alone in the backyard with a frown on his face, as if he was thinking about something important.
That afternoon, the sun shone through the clouds, casting mottled shadows. The streets were bustling with people, but still no one visited their shops.
Shen Yuli couldn't help but walk to the door, wanting to hear what the passers-by were talking about.
However, just as she reached the door, she heard several passersby whispering, "Have you heard? That new store that recently opened in Lingcheng seems to be run by someone from the bankrupt Li family!"
"The Li family? The one that sells inferior goods as good ones?"
"That's right! I heard that they did a lot of immoral things before. The Li family has fallen into poverty and no one knows where their people have gone."
"I see. No wonder that shop is so quiet. It turns out the remnants of the Li family are causing trouble!"
Shen Yuli was horrified when she heard this. She had never expected that the Shen family's reputation had been ruined to this extent.
She wanted to step forward and explain, but was afraid that the more she explained, the worse it would become.
In desperation, she had to return to the store and tell Li Yexiao the news.
Li Yexiao was also shocked after hearing this. He originally thought that he could get rid of those troubles after leaving the Shen family, but he didn't expect that the shadow of the Li family would always follow them.
He knew that if they didn't take action, their store might really have to close.
So, Li Yexiao and Shen Yuli began to run around, trying to find a solution.
They found some local business celebrities and hoped to use their power to restore the store's reputation.
However, when those businessmen and celebrities heard that they were from the Li family, they all kept their distance and were unwilling to say a word.
Li Yexiao and Shen Yuli felt unprecedented despair and helplessness.
They once thought that as long as they left the Shen family, they could start a new life under the name of the Li family, but now it seems that they will never be able to get rid of the shadow of the Li family.
After struggling in the quagmire of despair for several days, Li Yexiao and Shen Yuli had to face a cruel reality: their store was on the verge of bankruptcy.
Looking at the deserted shop and the mountains of goods, the two men's hearts were filled with endless bitterness.
However, at this moment, an unexpected person appeared in front of them.
He was a middle-aged man dressed in brocade clothes. He claimed to be a famous wealthy businessman in Lingcheng, named Zhao Tianxiong.
He took a fancy to the store location of Li Yexiao and Shen Yuli and wanted to buy it.
Li Yexiao and Shen Yuli looked at each other, and an inexplicable hope surged in their hearts.
If they could sell the store, at least they could recoup some of their losses.
So they warmly welcomed Zhao Tianxiong and introduced the store in detail.
After hearing this, Zhao Tianxiong nodded slightly, indicating that he was very interested in the store.
He offered an attractive price and said the deal could be done immediately. Li Yexiao and Shen Yuli were ecstatic, as if they had seen the dawn of hope.
However, just as they were about to sign the contract, Zhao Tianxiong suddenly made a strange request: he required Li Yexiao and Shen Yuli to leave Lingcheng after the transaction was completed and never come back.
This request surprised and confused Li Yexiao and Shen Yuli.
They didn't understand why Zhao Tianxiong made such a request. Was there any hidden secret behind it?
Faced with this sudden change, Li Yexiao and Shen Yuli fell into deep thought.
They knew that once they signed the contract, it would mean they would have to give up everything in Lingcheng, including the shop they had worked so hard for.
However, if they do not sign the contract, they will face the dilemma of store closure.
What they didn't know was that this was Song Jiao's plan, and it would continue like this in the next city until they went to the store to pawn the jewelry brought by the Shen family.
