Shen Jingyu stood alone in the small house. The winter sun shone sparsely on her, but did not dispel the chill that surrounded her body at all.
The eldest brother had already driven away without waiting for her.
She was filled with loss, and looking around, the streets were busy with traffic, and the noisy city sounds were pouring in like a tide, but she felt as if she had been abandoned by the whole world in this dark corner.
In fact, Su Jinyu was right about one thing. The Shen family only cared about their own interests.
Her father and his wife knew that she was in financial difficulty, but they never offered her any help. Her eldest brother seemed gentle, but he pretended not to know.
The Shen family is too ruthless, so she relies on Wang Manrou, who has no blood relationship with her.
At this moment, she was feeling helpless and confused. She looked around but found that there was nowhere to go.
In desperation, he could only hail a rickshaw.
The driver yelled at the top of his lungs, and the car started swaying towards the direction of Shen's Mansion.
The car kept shaking all the way, and every shake was like a heavy blow to her already troubled heart, making her even more anxious and unable to calm down.
Shen Jing'an was sitting in the living room talking with his father, Mr. Shen. When he saw his sister Shen Jingyu coming back, he raised his hand slightly and waved at her. The action seemed casual, but it unconsciously revealed the majesty of a brother.
"What did you talk about?"
Shen Jingyu's eyes rolled around, and an idea instantly flashed through his mind. His face immediately changed to a carefree expression, and he deliberately raised his voice.
"She gave me a lot of jewelry before, and now she wants to take it back... I definitely don't agree. How could this be possible? She has no shame in giving me something and wanting to take it back..."
As she spoke, she waved her arms vigorously. Her exaggerated movements and loud voice fully displayed her usual willful and reckless personality. She looked like she was fearless.
Teacher Shen listened to her words, frowned slightly, and his face instantly showed full of impatience, as if Shen Jingyu in front of him was a buzzing, annoying fly.
He waved his hand quickly at her and said in an unquestionable commanding tone: "It's none of your business, go and have fun."
Shen Jingyu was not annoyed. She said "Oh", turned around and skipped upstairs. Her brisk steps seemed as if the unpleasantness just now had never happened. She looked like a heartless, simple and innocent little girl.
Shen Jingan waited until she left before continuing, "According to the news from the police station, combined with what Su Jinyu said today, they probably don't have any substantial clues at the moment."
He frowned slightly, his eyes revealing deep thought. As he spoke, his fingers unconsciously tapped lightly on the table, making a rhythmic "click-click" sound.
Teacher Shen's face darkened instantly, his facial muscles twitched slightly, his eyes full of displeasure, "We still have to clean up his mess!"
"It's just that we still don't know how the police found the Taoist temple."
Shen Jing'an looked incredulous, shaking his head as he said, "We were already very careful in what we did. After the military case happened, we were even more cautious and didn't dare to do anything rash... but we were still discovered."
It seems that I can't figure out how such a secret thing was leaked.
Teacher Shen looked calm, not at all flustered. He tilted his head slightly, leaned back in his chair, and spoke in a terrifyingly steady tone, as if he was discussing a trivial matter.
"We should keep silent about military affairs and never let anyone suspect us."
His voice was cold and decisive, chilling, and his words revealed ruthlessness.
"No one will suspect us, this matter is done secretly enough." Shen Jingan straightened his back and said.
Teacher Shen looked at him sharply with a look as if he could see through his thoughts: "The police station said that Zhou Youchen discovered the soldiers in the Taoist temple, which means he is a little impatient. When the gold arrives, you and Su Jinyu will be completely done, stay away from both of them, and stop doing those meaningless things."
His voice was not loud, but every word he spoke was like a heavy hammer, hitting Shen Jingan's heart hard, reminding him to face reality and not act on impulse.
Shen Jingan remained silent, his lips slightly pursed, his face showing a very complicated expression.
His hands unconsciously clenched, his knuckles turning white from the force, his emotions surged like surging waves, but he suppressed them and didn't let himself show them.
Teacher Shen was very understanding of his child. He sighed slightly and said in a slow tone, "I know you are angry, but as long as Marshal Su is in office, you will not touch Su Jinyu..."
There was a hint of helplessness and warning in his eyes as he stared straight at Shen Jingan.
Shen Jingan finally nodded, his movements were a little stiff, as if he was struggling to make a decision.
"yes!"
Shen Jingyu went upstairs and did not return to his room. Instead, he knocked on Mrs. Shen's door.
Her heartbeat suddenly quickened, "thump thump" sounding, like a restless deer running around in panic, she was extremely nervous.
She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself, but her shaking hands still revealed that she was uneasy.
Mrs. Shen was sitting at a small table enjoying her afternoon tea with a cup of coffee in hand. The rich aroma of the coffee filled the entire room.
Seeing Shen Jingyu coming in, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a seemingly friendly smile, and raised her hand to wave, "Have you completed the task assigned by the old man?"
Shen Jingyu sat down obediently, with a smile on his face, and nodded vigorously, "Yes, brother has already replied."
As she spoke, she secretly observed Mrs. Shen's expression, her eyes rolling around.
The task assigned by her father was to find out more about Su Jinyu's kidnapping case. She didn't ask much, but just followed the request and said more when talking to Su Jinyu.
As for the specific content of the conversation, she knew that her brother must have told her father.
Mrs. Shen looked at her with a smile on her face. Her gaze was like a sword, moving back and forth over her body, as if evaluating her growth and changes.
"You are sensible and grown up... You are already a big girl."
Her voice was gentle, but to Shen Jingyu, it inexplicably sounded meaningful, and his heart couldn't help but skip a beat.
If it were usual, Shen Jingyu would definitely think that this was just a simple compliment, but after hearing what Su Jinyu said, she suddenly became alert, and it was like an alarm bell was ringing in her heart.
She felt her scalp tingling and her back slightly cold, as if a pair of eyes were watching her in the dark, making her feel very uncomfortable.
