Chapter 117: Straight Male Thinking
“Found it!”
Shanshui hurriedly walked up to Chen Yu with an account book in hand. "This Wuyue Bookstore is really a scam. On the surface, it's a bookstore, but secretly it's lending money at high interest."
Jin Mu, who was standing by, sneered when he heard this:
"What's the big deal? It's just a loan shark. The worst that can happen is confiscation of property and two years of imprisonment. The general wants us to find clues about how Master Wu Yue is communicating with those assassins."
"You know shit!" Shanshui immediately retorted.
Jin Mu was startled, and looked at Shen Yu aggrievedly, complaining without any concealment.
"General, he said I knew nothing! He was scolding me!"
"Heh," Shen Yu glanced at him and ignored him. Instead, he ordered Shanshui: "Teach this idiot a lesson!"
Jinmu was a little dissatisfied, "General, even you scold me..."
My heart is broken.
Shanshui hooked his arm around Jinmu's neck and patted the account book in his hand with pride. "You think you're a death squad and you have someone to record your contacts with your boss? Can you find direct evidence?"
Jinmu looked confused and didn't understand. "Then what's the point of looking for an account book? It can't be used as evidence of him contacting the assassins."
"Who said we have to find evidence related to the assassins? As long as we find evidence that Master Wu Yue has committed a crime and arrest him, what we want will come to us."
Shanshui smiled and praised Shen Yu, "General, am I right?"
"The boy is teachable." Shen Yu nodded with satisfaction. "As long as Master Wu Yue is in our hands, if he is important enough, the death warriors will come to save him. If he is not important, the death warriors will come to kill him and silence him."
Jinmu slapped his forehead fiercely, "So no matter what, those assassins will come! We just need to catch them in the trap!"
Shen Yu chuckled and said jokingly, "Not bad, you can use idioms now."
Kaneki: “…”
He's just not as smart as his colleagues, but he's not stupid.
Shanshui: "Mr. Wu Yue has been going out early in the morning to listen to opera at Mingxia Tower these days. We have brothers watching him in secret. Now that we have found evidence of his crime, let's go and capture him now."
Shen Yu responded and asked Shanshui to gather his troops and rush to Mingxia Tower.
Jin Mu wanted to follow, but as soon as he turned around, Shen Yu pressed his shoulders.
"Don't go, I have something else to tell you."
Jin Mu didn't understand what was going on, but seeing Shen Yu's serious expression, he obediently followed him to a corner.
Shen Yu lowered his voice and said, "Pack your luggage and leave at night to help me go to Linqiu City."
"Linqiu City?" Jin Mu thought for a moment, "Isn't that Miss Xiaowan's hometown?"
"Hmm." Shen Yu frowned slightly, "She once claimed to be the concubine of Zhou Baiwan, a wealthy businessman on Linqiu City South Street, but..."
He paused, "Anyway, this concerns her reputation. You should go there in person and in secret. Don't tell anyone. Find out everything about her and come back to tell me."
A matter of reputation?
Jinmu caught these words keenly. He wanted to ask, but Shen Yu knew what he was thinking with just one look.
Shen Yuliang warned quietly, "Think carefully before you speak. Are you sure you want to ask about the affairs of my inner house?"
"..." Jinmu shrank his neck and smiled bitterly, "No questions! I won't ask anything! I'm going home to pack my luggage now."
Looking at Jin Mu's fleeing back, the darkness in Shen Yu's eyes grew darker and darker.
If it weren't for the intimate behavior last night, he wouldn't have doubted Wen Wan's identity.
Xiaowan, who are you?

In the backyard, Wen Wan sneaked to the well to wash the bed sheets.
In the morning, Mr. Hu and Mrs. Li were at home, so she had no chance to clean up the traces of last night.
At this moment, the two old people went out for a walk, and she seized the opportunity to clean up the mess like a thief.
On the bed sheet, a large patch of bright red proved that she was a pure virgin before last night!
Wen Wan: “…”
She traveled through time three years ago. When she first came here, she was a concubine in the general's mansion. At that time, the general was already stationed at the border.
So, she didn't know that the original owner was actually a virgin!
Could it be that General Shen has a hidden illness that makes him incompetent? He hasn't even touched the beautiful concubine in the harem?
She had spoken ill of General Shen several times in front of Achai, saying that he was a playboy and lustful.
Now it seems that she misunderstood General Shen.
General Shen is not lustful at all, he is clearly impotent.
Wen Wan had a bitter face and rubbed the blood on the bed sheet vigorously.
"If I had known the original owner was a virgin, I wouldn't have messed around with anyone!"
"It's all my fault for not changing my bad habits. I've always coveted his body and couldn't resist the temptation at the critical moment!"
"It's all right now, he must have found the loophole!"
"Given his cleverness, he might have already sent someone to check my identity!"
Wen Wan talked to herself for a long time, and the more she spoke, the more sad she felt.
There is a knife hanging over your head when it comes to lust. The ancients were right.
She originally thought that since Ah Chai had finally escaped death, she could still spend some wonderful time with him, but now it seems that she has to plan a way out in advance.
Thinking of this, Wen Wan sighed helplessly.

When Mr. Hu and Mrs. Li came back from their walk, they began to describe in vivid detail the excitement they had just seen.
"Oh, such a good-looking young man is actually a useless person."
"That's right. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never have thought that the bookstore owner would actually lend money at high interest."
"He's still a scholar, holding a folding fan in his hand, looking elegant and respectable. To do something like this is really a loss of the character of a scholar."
Wen Wan lay in a chair, eating melon seeds and listening to the two old men gossip.
Halfway through listening, she casually asked, "Bookstore owner? Which bookstore?"
Mr. Hu said, "It seems to be called Wuyue Bookstore."
Wen Wan paused for a moment. Were the border town defenders taking action?
"Did he catch that man?"
Mr. Hu nodded and said, "At that time, he was kidnapped by the border town garrison and taken to the government office."
Wen Wan understood, "Oh, it's about the border town garrison lending money at high interest."
I'm afraid he's just looking for a reason to arrest someone.
Mr. Hu didn't notice her strangeness and continued, "Yes, the border town defenders surrounded Mingxia Tower at that time. It was such a big scene that everyone inside was scared to death."
Wen Wan just smiled faintly but didn't say anything more.

As soon as it got dark, Shen Yu walked into the courtyard carrying a lot of bags.
He put the things on the table, filling up most of it.
Wen Wan picked up a package and opened it. It contained snacks from a famous shop in the city. The other packages also contained fresh fruits and precious medicinal herbs.
"What are you doing? Are you going to open a grocery store?" Wen Wan asked suspiciously.
Shen Yu smiled and said, "These are all for your health."
Wen Wan looked bewildered. "What's the point of replenishing my body? I haven't..."
Halfway through her words, she met his meaningful gaze.
At that moment, a thousand horses galloped through Wen Wan's heart.
What kind of bullshit straight male thinking is this?
She just broke her virginity, but in his eyes, could it be that she had suffered some serious injury and needed tonic to recover?
That layer of stuff was broken, but he wouldn't be so exaggerated!
He was trying to cover up his guilt. Was he trying to embarrass her to the point of feeling ashamed?
