Su Jinyu sat on the sofa and drank two cups of tea.
A pair of bright big eyes, occasionally glancing at the man opposite.
Dark and cold, yet with an unconcealable sharpness and power.
This man is completely different from the gentle and considerate big brother in my memory.
At her grandfather's house, Brother Mutou was the person who spent the longest time with her, even longer than her grandfather Aunt Wu. He accompanied her to climb trees and go into the water, and carried her on his back to walk through every inch of the house.
Mu Sheng sighed softly, as if he knew what she was thinking.
He stood up beside her, slowly bent his knees, half-knelt on the ground, and spread his broad palms in front of her.
He opened his lips slightly and said, "My princess, what can I do for you?"
Su Jinyu's fair face turned red from cheeks to ears. She looked at the cold and arrogant man who turned into a docile dog. The difference was so big that it was frightening.
And the words that came out of his mouth, how he said them.
That... that was clearly a trick that little girls played when they were little and loved to act like princesses.
Listening to it now, I feel inexplicably ashamed.
Mu Sheng glanced at the woman's flushed cheeks, which weakened her bright and aggressive beauty and made it more coquettish.
With a hint of teasing in his eyes, he raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Princess..."
Su Jinyu saw the mockery in his eyes and thought he was doing it on purpose. She glared at him unhappily and turned away without looking at him.
Mu Sheng lowered his head and smiled, then sat back on the sofa opposite her.
"After you left the Wu family, Master Wu gave me a free identity and later funded my business, including the establishment of the 'Spider Web'. This 'Spider Web' belongs to Master Wu, and I will not pay you for it."
Su Jinyu: "Grandpa said that you have to pay for the information, this 'spider web' is yours"
Speaking of serious matters, Mu Sheng changed his nonchalant look and said, "I am a servant of the Wu family... this will never change."
After roughly understanding the whole story, Su Jinyu said, "Grandpa and I don't think of you as a servant of the Wu family. Everything you have now is something you have fought for yourself...Grandpa helped you, and he also got a reward. Grandpa is a businessman and will not do business at a loss."
The woman in front of him was bright and beautiful, a real pearl who had been raised with care. However, like Master Wu, she had a clear sense of right and wrong and did favors without expecting anything in return.
Mu Sheng stood up and said no more explanation, "I asked He Lai to chase you immediately because the bombing case is urgent. You should go back and have a good discussion with the governor. The gang will escape early tomorrow morning..."
Su Jinyu didn't dare to delay any longer and finally didn't send out the bank deposit certificate in her hand.
When we came out of No. 66, it was already dark.
Returning to the Governor's Mansion, Su Jinyu came directly to the door of the study with a file bag in her hand.
Two guards stood outside the study.
From outside the door, one could hear a lot of noise coming from inside the house, as if there were a lot of people. Luo Shangpeng's rough voice was very recognizable, and he laughed particularly loudly.
Su Jinyu opened the door and saw that there were indeed quite a few people in the room.
She immediately took a liking to the handsome man, who was as tall and straight as a pine tree, with an expressionless face but a pair of charming eyes that were clear and watery.
In front of this room full of ruffians, Zhou Youchen looked more like a formally trained soldier.
She only took a quick glance and said to her father's personal bodyguard Luo Shangpeng, "I heard your voice from a distance. What are you so happy about?"
Luo Shangpeng chuckled, "I found the person who helped me catch the assassin yesterday. It turned out to be the grandson of the great writer Zhou Lao... I brought him to see the Marshal. This guy is really good at fighting and smart."
Marshal Su nodded.
This guy is really smart. He answered the military questions just asked without omission, and his answers were even very innovative, which made everyone's eyes light up.
They were just discussing where Zhou Youchen should take up the post.
Su Jinyu's mind also flashed back to Zhou Youchen's figure during the explosion yesterday. She walked straight to the desk, and when she came in front of the Marshal, she smiled and said, "Father, you must reward him well... Yesterday, he not only caught the assassin, but also saved me."
She raised her eyelids and looked at Zhou Youchen, "You were the one who caught me yesterday, right? Otherwise, I might have lost half my life."
Zhou Youchen kept his eyes down silently, and only raised them when he noticed that everyone's eyes were focused on him, speaking in a calm and neither hurried nor slow tone, neither humble nor arrogant.
“Just passing by”
The tone was as if he just happened to pass by and saved a cat, so simple.
Such an understatement.
Su Jinyu's eyes fell on him and glanced at him lightly, "You saved my life, and you also saved my father and me... It can't be offset by chance."
Marshal Su looked at Zhou Youchen with satisfaction. He had never heard of Zhou Youchen's reputation and only believed in his own eyes.
Sharp insight, quick hands, and smart mind.
This man is a natural born soldier.
"The grace of saving my life must be rewarded"
Everyone congratulated Zhou Youchen with laughter.
Su Jinyu sent everyone out before taking out the file bag in her hand.
Open the briefcase and place the stack of papers on the desk.
"This is the news I just received. I took a look at it on the way. It clearly describes how they transported the bombs in and the route of retreat...but the people behind them are still unknown."
Marshal Su read through it quickly and said, "'Spider Web' just connects many clues to find out the truth. As for the people behind them, they are hiding too deep to show up."
He immediately made a phone call and arranged for people to intercept the man alive.
Early the next morning, Su Jinyu frowned as she looked at the rather light breakfast on the table.
"The Marshal has given me a special order. You are injured, so you need to eat light food."
Zhang 꿻 sat aside and said softly, "This woman cannot have any scars on her body."
Su Jinyu knew that it was his father's intention, so he didn't say anything more. He just glanced at the empty dishes and asked, "Is my brother at home?"
Zhang shook his head. "That girl wouldn't get up so early at home... she's a guest at home."
Su Jinyu understood: "Han Sinian?"
“It’s me…”
Before anyone left, they heard a voice approaching from afar.
Han Sinian sat down casually and greeted her politely and intimately, "Aunt Zhang... Sister Yu"
Zhang 꿻 responded enthusiastically, "I was just about to ask the servants to call you, and you're here. Come and see if there's anything you like to eat."
“I love everything Aunt Zhang prepares.”
"If you like it, eat more..."
Seeing Han Sinian looking like he hadn't eaten, Su Jinyu was disgusted.
This kind of pretense to please Zhang Yu is really well-intentioned.
Before, Han Sinian was also so good at dancing with the sleeves, smooth and tactful, coaxing his father while colluding with Shen Jing'an.
The explosion was the trigger for his conspiracy with Shen Jing'an. Shen Jing'an was seriously injured in order to save Han Sinian, which also saved his life.
She went to great lengths to save such a person's life, just because she didn't want to give this life-saving grace to Shen Jing'an.
