When Shi Lingheng returned home, guests had also arrived at the Shi family home.
Ruan Jiu sat on the living room sofa, and went to the toilet several times while drinking water.
Upon learning that the Shi family had visited the Fan family, Ruan Jiu pitifully ate lunch alone. Just as she was about to get up and leave, unable to bear the irritation any longer, she finally heard the commotion outside.
Mr. Shi and Mrs. Shi originally intended to say a few more words, but when they saw Ruan Jiu coming over, they knew that the two of them were also talking about serious matters, so they had no choice but to put the matter aside for the time being.
Once upstairs, Ruan Jiu rubbed her slightly bloated stomach, which she had drunk too much tea: "If you hadn't come back soon, I'm afraid I would have gone to the Fan family to look for you..."
He's practically begging to become someone's live-in son-in-law...
What a loser!
Shi Lingheng raised an eyebrow, taking it as Ruan Jiu's envy and jealousy.
Ruan Jiu couldn't stand his smugness and chuckled, "But I'm afraid some people will eagerly come to my door only to be chased away..."
Then, as if remembering something, she continued with a smile, "Oh, by the way, when we came in, Uncle and Aunt seemed to be talking about something interesting..."
"Even when they're guests, they shamelessly stick along..."
Shi Lingheng silently flexed his wrists, while Ruan Jiu coughed and cleared her throat: "Um, I think I drank a bit too much water, I'll go out for a bit..."
Go to your room and calm down for a while.
Ruan Jiu saw that her hand was already on the study door when Shi Lingheng knocked on the table: "Alright, you have the guts to say it, but you only dare to run away? What's the list I gave you last time?"
Ruan Jiu awkwardly lowered his hand, no longer bothering to make an excuse to urinate: "I did everything as you instructed. I suppose the Fang family has made a move as well?"
Shi Lingheng nodded and said, "They did come to test the Shi family's attitude. They're quite suspicious. Things will get interesting from here on out..."
He would keep track of every single thing the Fang family had done.
"How's the investigation going with my older brother?"
Shi Lingheng's first step now is to overturn his elder brother's conviction.
Regarding this matter, Ruan Jiu's expression also became serious: "Shi Wenye was originally a strong witness, but now if we don't want to alarm the Fang family, we can only take action from another angle."
"What if we can't start with people, but instead start with machines?"
Shi Lingheng looked up at him, and Ruan Jiu paused for a moment before saying, "You mean..."
“That’s right. Xiao Fan said that machines don’t lie, and the structure of machines is never as complex and changeable as human thought.”
Shi Lingheng never intended to make a move against Shi Wenye. Making a move against him would be too risky, as Shi Wenye's intentions towards the Shi family were unpredictable, and who knew what he might say at the time? As for the Shi family, there was no need to waste their time on him.
"But the machine..."
Ruan Jiu frowned. None of them were good at mechanical research. Although they had some knowledge of aircraft, they were not experts. Even the specialists there hadn't found any problems, so they probably couldn't do anything about it either.
But then...
He looked up at Shi Lingheng in surprise: "You mean Xiao Fan?"
Shi Lingheng nodded: "That's right. You and I both know Xiao Fan's talent in mechanics. Perhaps we can get some advice from her..."
Ruan Jiu reached out to check if Ling Heng had a fever: "Are you crazy? Xiao Fan has never even touched an airplane before. No matter how talented she is, how could she possibly know what the problem is..."
