"Arms!!!"
When Su Jinyu heard the word "arms", he was like being struck by lightning. He stood up from the stool with his eyes wide open, flashing with shock and realization.
This answer was like a ray of light shining into the fog in her heart, making everything clear.
At this time, the whole Qianjiang was in an uproar because of the arms case.
The incident was being discussed in the streets and alleys. The police station and the military took joint action to set up strict defenses at all entrances and exits of Qianjiang, guarding the area strictly and not allowing any batch of arms to be transported out of Qianjiang.
Even the mysterious black market in the city was thoroughly investigated, and the source of every piece of arms had to be traced back.
Once they find any suspicious traces, they will follow the clues, and it seems to be only a matter of time to find the arms that were previously transported into the river.
Su Jinyu's thoughts drifted back to her previous life. In her previous life, she had not discovered the incident of Zhou Youchen discovering the arms. Then, those arms would be transported into Qianjiang one batch after another like an undercurrent.
The Shen family may have continued to purchase arms a year later under such circumstances.
A chill ran down her heart. Could it be that the Shen family suddenly became wealthy and had sufficient weapons just because they bought those batches of arms?
She realized that she might have been an accomplice of the Shen family in her previous life.
Su Jinyu sat there, feeling a chill running up her spine from the soles of her feet. Her body couldn't help but tremble slightly, as if the cold wind of late autumn had blown through her bones.
No, absolutely not!
She screamed madly in her heart, her nails digging into her palms unconsciously, leaving white marks. She would never let the tragedy of her previous life happen again.
"What's wrong?" Mu Sheng was originally sitting next to her. Seeing her acting so strange, he immediately stood up, walked gently to her side, and patted her shoulder lightly.
His palms were broad and warm, trying to dispel the chill around her body.
Su Jinyu turned her head sharply, her hair flying in disarray as she moved. The look of fear on her face had not yet faded, her eyes were wide open, and a reflection of fear still remained in her pupils. She said hastily, "The Shen family...maybe they want to buy arms."
There was a slight tremor in her voice, as if she was telling a terrible secret.
Upon hearing this, Mu Sheng instantly understood the source of her fear.
The Shen family controls tens of thousands of soldiers. Once an uprising occurs, Qianjiang will fall into endless war and chaos, and the people will be wiped out.
His usually cold voice softened unconsciously at this moment, as if he was afraid of scaring Su Jinyu, and he gently comforted her: "There is still time to think of a solution."
Su Jinyu nodded heavily, with such a large amplitude that it seemed as if he wanted to deeply imprint this determination in his heart.
There's still time. There's still time for everything.
She kept encouraging herself in her heart, trying to dispel the haze in her heart.
"Although I have no evidence and everything is still just speculation, the Shen family must have ulterior motives..."
Su Jinyu spoke very quickly, as if she was afraid of missing out on some key information. "The arms case has caused a lot of trouble in the city. If the Shen family is related to the arms case, they will definitely take action."
Her eyes gradually became firm, and her thoughts became clearer. "First, we must find evidence that the Shen family purchased arms privately. We must have solid evidence to nail the Shen family to death and make them suffer heavy losses."
There was a ruthlessness in her voice, "Weaken the power of the Shen family step by step, and then eliminate them in one fell swoop."
After sorting out her thoughts, Su Jinyu's nervous mood slowly eased and her tense shoulders relaxed slightly.
Mu Sheng listened quietly, but his brows became more and more furrowed.
This once carefree and innocent young lady is now burdened with the heavy burden of life and is deeply troubled.
"I will find out the whereabouts of the arms."
Mu Sheng looked at Su Jinyu with a firm tone, as if he was making a solemn promise.
Su Jinyu felt guilty after hearing this. Her eyes were slightly red and her voice was choked with sobs: "I know these things are serious and dangerous, and I don't want to drag you into it... But I have no one I can trust, I..."
Her eyes were full of helplessness and apology.
Mu Sheng raised his head, casually brushed his short and thick hair, and said in a relaxed tone: "The Shen family is in chaos, Qianjiang is in turmoil, and it also concerns my opinion... Besides, Miss, you will never feel sorry for me, just tell me if you have anything to do."
When Su Jinyu heard the word "Miss", she immediately corrected her, "Don't call me Miss anymore. You can still call me the same way as you did before... I can't tell you, the big boss, what to do."
She pretended to be angry, but there was a hint of smile in her eyes.
Mu Sheng raised the corners of his mouth slightly and called softly, "Okay, Xiao Jin."
Now that the Shen family is suspected, Su Jinyu must go to the Shen family to find out the truth.
After tossing and turning all night, early the next morning, when the morning light had just started to shine on the sky, Su Jinyu had already gotten up and dressed up carefully.
She was wearing a black and red cheongsam embroidered with delicate gold thread patterns, which gleamed in the morning light.
The black color was like the deep night sky, and the red color was like a burning flame, complementing each other and making her temperament even more cool, elegant and noble.
Su Jinyu, along with Qingru, Aunt Wu, and more than two dozen bodyguards, headed towards the Shen Residence in a mighty procession.
She arrived before Master Shen left home on purpose in order to confront the man in charge of the Shen family head-on.
At this time, the Shen family was sitting in the restaurant, quietly enjoying breakfast. The restaurant was filled with the aroma of food, with only the gentle sound of tableware colliding.
Mrs. Shen elegantly picked up the teacup and took a sip. Suddenly, she heard a noisy sound of footsteps outside. She frowned slightly, a trace of displeasure flashed across her face, and instructed Aunt Rong to go and take a look, with a little dissatisfaction in her tone: "What's going on? What are you doing so early in the morning?"
Aunt Rong quickly put down the work in her work and walked quickly towards the hall.
Before she even reached the hall, she saw a group of people approaching in a grand manner.
Su Jinyu, who was in the lead, had an upright posture and a firm gaze. His aura seemed to be able to freeze the air around him.
Aunt Rong was startled and almost cried out. She calmed herself down, steadied her emotions, took two quick steps, and came to the restaurant, panting and saying, "Madam Su... Young Madam."
She paused, then raised her voice and repeated, "It's the young mistress who is here."
Hearing this, everyone in the restaurant raised their heads and looked over there.
Shen Jingan was eating his breakfast leisurely. When he heard this, he shuddered and almost dropped the spoon in his mouth.
His heart began to beat faster and a complex emotion surged into his heart.
He stood up quickly, his movements a little flustered, and the friction between the chair and the ground made a harsh sound.
He hastily pulled out the dining chair and walked quickly to the living room.
