Xia Zhichu and Si Mochen had just returned home when Si Mochen received a call from Yuexiang Tianxia.
"What did you say, all settled?"
"Yes, President. We just settled the bill ten minutes ago. Not a penny less."
The manager reported the situation at the wedding banquet, which made Si Mochen feel more and more suspicious, so he asked the manager to send him a screenshot of Shen Liang's payment record.
Si Mochen took a look and found that it was a cash payment.
That's strange.
Just a second ago, Shen Liang called to ask for credit, but soon he had so much money to pay. This meant that someone was helping him behind the scenes.
For some reason, a familiar face suddenly flashed through Si Mochen's mind. After hanging up the phone, he called Yan Sen immediately.
"Go investigate Shen Liang and see who he has been meeting recently."
"Okay, President."
Yan Sen did it immediately.
Si Mochen stood on the balcony for a long time without moving, his face gloomy and scary, and no one knew what he was thinking. He didn't even notice Xia Zhichu approaching.
"What's wrong? You're making me very uneasy."
Xia Zhichu raised her hand and gently stroked the man's furrowed brow. Ever since she met Mr. Si, her mood has not yet calmed down.
Mr. Si's violent aura was too strong, and the look in his eyes when he looked at him was filled with murderous intent, which made Xia Zhichu unable to help but think of the fact that he had hired someone to kidnap him.
In addition, Si Mochen was constantly on the phone and his expression became increasingly grim, which made Xia Zhichu feel as if a disaster was about to happen.
"It's okay." Si Mochen held her in his arms, lowered his head and sniffed the fragrance of her hair. Perhaps because he had made too many phone calls, his voice was a little hoarse at this time. "No matter what happens, I'm here. I'm taller than you. Even if the sky falls, I'll hold it up for you."
If Xia Zhichu had heard this in the past, he would have been deeply moved.
But right now, apart from uneasiness, there is really no other feeling.
"Don't try to fool me. Since I've decided to be with you, I'm prepared to share the good and the bad with you. So, Mo Chen, no matter what happens, you are not allowed to hide it from me."
"I don't want to live a lie like a fool and leave you out there fighting alone."
These words deeply shook Si Mochen's heart, so much so that he was so emotional that he kissed her hard.
"Okay, I won't hide it from you."
"Then tell me, what happened just now?"
After the kiss, Xia Zhichu looked into his deep and bottomless black eyes with a dazed look, where her shadow and the flickering light in her pupils were reflected.
Si Mochen was struggling in his heart, wondering whether he should tell her everything that happened tonight.
After all, Shen Liang might...
"Is it because of what happened at Shen Liang's wedding banquet that you tricked him and the plan went wrong?" Xia Zhichu saw that the man was silent and expressed his suspicions.
In fact, she almost guessed Shen Liang from what Si Mochen said about someone pretending to be fat.
In addition, Si Mochen said that he would give Chen Liang a big gift, but Xia Zhichu still hadn't seen what the gift was. When he thought about Yan Sen reporting on his work before the wedding banquet and mentioning the upgrade of the meal standard, Xia Zhichu suspected that this was related to Si Mochen's constant phone calls.
Seeing that she had guessed correctly, Si Mochen finally touched her head helplessly and said softly, "I didn't expect my wife Si to be so smart. You guessed it all."
"Okay, I'll tell you the truth."
Si Mochen told Xia Zhichu the whole story in a concise and shocking manner. Xia Zhichu had probably guessed it clearly at the beginning, so he didn't feel anything when he listened.
But after hearing the end, she became a little uneasy, "You said, Shen Liang paid more than five million in one lump sum?"
Si Mochen nodded, "Not bad, it's still cash settlement."
Xia Zhichu pursed her lips. To be honest, with Chen Liang's family background, even if he borrowed money from everywhere, it would be impossible for him to borrow so much money, especially in just half an hour.
So is there a possibility that he went to borrow money from a loan shark?
Xia Zhichu expressed her suspicions, but Si Mochen denied them all. "Even if it's a loan, there are still procedures to follow. It's impossible to complete it in half an hour. So I think Shen Liang must have gotten close to someone, and that person helped to get him out of this predicament."
As for who that person was, Si Mochen did not say it.
If it was that person, then the ultimate purpose of choosing to cooperate with Shen Liang at this time was simple, which was to do everything possible to break them up.
Of course, he is Si Mochen, and no one dares to risk his life to go against him, so those people's target will eventually fall on Xia Zhichu.
In other words, Xia Zhichu's situation will become even more difficult in the future.
Thinking of this, Si Mochen's face became even uglier. It was difficult to fight against the Si family alone. If Shen Liang came along, things would be a little tricky.
After all, the Si family used thundering methods, which he could completely control. On the contrary, Shen Liang was a villain and cunning, and he was most good at attacking reputation.
He was not afraid of Shen Liang's tricks, but he was afraid that Xia Zhichu would be hurt.
After all, in a battle of emotions, even the hardest heart will be hurt.
"Chen Liang may seem gentle on the surface, but he's actually very cunning. No matter who helps him out, I think he'll definitely hold a grudge after what happened tonight, and I guarantee he won't retaliate against us then."
Xia Zhichu only discovered this after they got married. Chen Liang's mind was particularly twisted. He would fuss over the smallest things, and even let the accumulated hatred in his heart turn into hatred.
When Xia Zhichu was with Shen Liang before, she had heard that Shen Liang was unhappy with his colleagues and used all kinds of shady tricks behind their backs to get them out, and he even used a lot of means to get promoted.
Anyway, Shen Liang is not a good person, and Xia Zhichu doesn't want Si Mochen to have too much involvement with him.
"Don't worry, he doesn't have the courage!"
Si Mochen put his arm around Xia Zhichu's shoulders, his narrow eyes showing a deeper understanding.
No matter who Shen Liang collaborates with or what he wants to do, he will let people thoroughly investigate. Of course, if he dares to hurt Xia Zhichu, he will definitely make him die without a burial place!
Just when the atmosphere was becoming tense, Xia Zhichu received a call from Chu Tiantian.
"Chu Chu, didn't you attend the wedding banquet tonight?"
Chu Tiantian hadn't found Xia Zhichu for a long time, and she didn't get any reply to her text messages, so she called him to find out what happened.
Xia Zhichu said helplessly, "I went there, but had to leave halfway because of something. How was the food at Yuexiang Tianxia? Is it delicious?" After saying that, he looked at Si Mochen and winked at him playfully.
After all, it is a hotel opened by her husband, and as the owner, she also wants to hear the customers' comments!
Unexpectedly, Chu Tiantian was silent for a moment, and then said, "The food is good, the wine is delicious, but I'm not in a good mood."
