I don't know if it's true or not, but Xiao Muye is currently making a long-distance call. He is sitting in the office chair, facing the floor-to-ceiling glass at the back, overlooking the entire city from top to bottom.
"You'll take any job no matter how much they offer you. Isn't it your principle not to take orders from China?"
The other party's voice came from the phone: "The dwarf is a madman. He's crazy about money. Oh, I guess he's crazy about you too. He's so crazy that he wants to step on you."
"Heh, didn't you let him out just to watch the fun? Now that he's been taken away by the police, what are you going to do?"
"It's okay. I told him clearly when he left that this was his personal behavior and has nothing to do with us. Don't worry, his mother is still in my hands."
The person on the phone paused, then suddenly started gossiping: "Hey, Cang, you never called me once after you left, yet you actually called me this time. Who are you to the person the dwarf wants to kill?"
"My wife." Mu Shicang said.
"What? You're married? When was it? I thought you'd never fall in love with anyone in your life. Is she pretty? Is she cute? Is she an Easterner or a Westerner?"
"Pretty and cute too." Mu Shicang smiled, and even his voice became gentle.
The other party on the phone was silent for a while, and then he started shouting. He was calling someone else: "William, William, come quickly, our Cang seems to be possessed by the devil. Not only has he found a wife, but he also showed off his wife in front of me, saying how beautiful and cute she is, and using that particularly disgusting tone."
Mu Shicang was too lazy to pay attention to the other person's exaggeration. He was waiting for another person to pick up the phone. Sure enough, after a while, the phone came into the hands of another person. This person's voice was calmer and hoarse than the previous person.
"You want to know the other party's information?"
Mu Shicang: "Yes."
William: "You've worked here before, so you should know that I won't give out client information to anyone casually."
Mu Shicang: "No one asked you to pay. I will pay him whatever amount he gives you. Anyway, no matter what you do, you will make money."
Laughter came from the phone: "Master Xiaomu is indeed wealthy and powerful, so let's... make a deal?"
……………………
Zuo Jinheng actually didn't know where to start. He found out about the Ji family, but he didn't have a prepared answer as to who in the Ji family he belonged to back then.
"The Ji family's power is quite complex. Their history is longer than any other family in Jinjing, and they have many branches. You said you want to go back, but I advise you to think it through. If you go back there, it's like stepping into a quagmire. If you're not careful, you might get stuck and unable to get out."
Yang Shushu was eating. When he finished speaking, she paused with her chopsticks. "But I want to go back. I don't want to live in fear every day. Even when I go to the street to buy vegetables, I have to worry about whether I will be ambushed. And staying with my parents will also put them in danger. This matter must be resolved, whether it is my business or Mu Shicang's."
Zuo Jinheng was stunned: "You mean you want to sneak into the Ji family to help Mu Shicang find the real murderer?"
Yang Shushu took a bite of the food and did not deny it.
Zuo Jinheng was a little anxious: "It's too dangerous for you to do this. Mu Shicang won't agree, and neither do I. In fact, Mu Shicang is already investigating the Ji family, and even I am doing it. You don't have to do this."
Yang Shushu looked up at him in surprise, as if she hadn't expected him to be investigating the Ji family. Zuo Jinheng explained, "My grandfather was also responsible for what happened back then. If I can help him find the real murderer, at least he'll feel better."
She nodded, indicating that she understood his thoughts, and he continued to persuade her to return to the Ji family: "Shushu, listen to me, you really don't have to be so anxious about this matter. Mu Shicang has the ability to protect you, and he also has the ability to solve the Ji family. You don't have to sacrifice yourself."
Yang Shushu stopped using her chopsticks and was silent for a moment before she chuckled softly, "I know, but there are some things I still need to resolve. We no longer need to explain why Mu Shicang insisted on marrying me. It's impossible to say I have no grudges, but I also know I'm not qualified. I don't know who the real murderer is now, and even Ji Chenru is a strong possibility. This is a wall between him and me, and I need to break it down."
"If that's really the case..." Zuo Jinheng didn't continue.
"I don't know either, but I have made up my mind now. I will get a divorce first, at least to shatter Ji Chenru's wish and stop him from thinking that I can really be manipulated by him." After saying that, she took a big sip of the drink, which looked like she had taken a big sip of wine.
Zuo Jinheng was startled by the mention of divorce, and for some reason his heart skipped a beat: "You want... a divorce?"
"Well, I always feel that our very beginning was wrong. Since it's a mistake, we might as well cut the loss in time, even if..." Even if we still love each other, it shouldn't have started like this.
Zuo Jinheng looked at her, waiting for her to finish her words, but she didn't say anything else. Instead, she smiled at him and said, "You are so disloyal. You knew so much but didn't tell me."
Zuo Jinheng sighed imperceptibly: "My husband married me for other purposes. Who do you think would feel good after hearing such words? I was afraid that you would be sad, but I didn't expect you to..."
"I'm sad too, but sadness won't solve the problem. The thing to do now is to solve the problem. Let's talk about it later, him and I...." It would be best to have a fresh start.
"Does he agree to a divorce?"
"Hey, you have to agree even if you don't want to." She laughed, seemingly mischievous but also somewhat helpless. Zuo Jinheng felt a pain in his heart for no reason.
Zuo Jinheng didn't understand where her confidence came from at first, and he had to agree even if she said she disagreed. It was not until Yang Shushu asked him for help that he understood what she meant.
Her idea wasn't a good one, but he didn't understand why he agreed to it, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
When he returned home, his second brother Zuo Jinyong pulled him over and said to him with a gossipy look on his face: "Hey, have you heard? Mu Shicang's wife knows about him and the Ji family. What do you think she will do?"
When this was mentioned, Zuo Jinheng glanced at his second brother and said, "Second brother, you didn't tell anyone about his affairs, did you?"
Zuo Jinyong was furious that his brother didn't believe him. "Who do you think you are, your second brother? You tell everyone everything you know? Mu Dingyuan and Mu Shilian heard about it from some unknown source, but these two old foxes didn't tell anyone themselves, but asked Mu Shiyun to tell Ling Xiao."
Zuo Jinheng was stunned for a moment. Now he finally understood how Yang Shushu knew it. Thinking of Ling Xiao, he curled his lips in disdain. He didn't cherish it when he had it, and wanted to get it back like a madman after losing it. In the final analysis, it was all for himself. Did he ever think about her?
