Meng Jiuyi suddenly opened his eyes wide.
He walked slowly toward her, his tall figure closing in. Meng Jiuyi instinctively ran to the side, only to be pinned between the wall and his chest, her chin lifted up.
That aggressive aura made my whole body tense.
"I...I have a boyfriend."
"Yes, you have a boyfriend who's still breastfeeding."
Xu Yanzhi curled his lips, "But according to humanism and some commercial regulations, I can already reasonably charge you interest."
His intense breathing made the hairs on her body stand on end.
"I don't understand what you're saying."
"Isn't today's performance all about making your relationship with Tan Sheng public, forcing him to go back and face the problem head-on? As for his mother, aren't you just waiting for me to show up and help you resolve this?"
Xu Yanzhi's eyes darkened slightly, his tone already conveying understanding.
Given her personality, now that the Ruijin Mansion has been discovered once, she would never come back.
Unless, there's an ulterior motive.
"Bang—bang—bang—"
Meng Jiuyi's heart suddenly pounded because he saw through her. Even though he had guessed her intentions wrong, he had seen through her actions perfectly clearly.
She always thought he was just a gentleman.
Because of her own overconfidence, her eyes held a mixture of confusion and fear.
The dim yellow light, like translucent silk, slid down her loose hair and slender neck. Xu Yanzhi met her gaze, his eyes slightly dim.
Has anyone ever held her neck and repeatedly played with, kissed, and caressed it, forcing her to look up at the other person?
"I won't help you for nothing."
When he spoke again, his voice was slightly hoarse, "Tan Sheng can't protect you. Go back and break up with him."

At the hospital entrance, the middle-aged man who had traveled from the Middle East to Kyushu by private plane was greeted by the hospital director and all the leaders.
He was dressed in a suit and tie, clearly having just hurriedly left a meeting, with his secretary following behind him.
The nurses' group chat was full of rumors that the man who was rushed to the operating room in the early hours of the morning came from a very wealthy family, but because they had always been cared for by their own medical professionals, no one had ever seen him.
Now, seeing this person they had only ever seen on television, they truly experienced for the first time the extraordinary background of the man in the hospital room.
They arrived in a daze, and after they left, they looked at each other blankly.
Jiang Zhou only sneaked back to the ward after confirming that Zhou Congjin had really left.
Tan Yuchen was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, pretending to sleep. He felt that there was nothing wrong with him, but the medical team told him that he had to rest for more than 15 days.
When Zhou Congjin arrived, the number of days he had to live doubled.
Jiang Zhou tentatively asked, "Third Young Master, did the teacher mention me?"
"have."
"Wh...what?"
He lazily lifted his eyelids, revealing the indiscriminate irritation he had been experiencing these past few days.
"I'm sending you to the Arctic to dig for penguins."
There's a ghost penguin in the Arctic!
Jiang Zhou wanted to cry, "How about I take your place next time? This is the second time I've seen Mr. this quarter."
Tan Yuchen scoffed, "You're not afraid of me, but you're afraid of Old Zhou."
I'm also afraid.
But having worked with Tan Yuchen for so many years, Jiang Zhou knew how to appease him, while just one glance from Zhou Congjin was enough to make Jiang Zhou break out in a cold sweat.
It has to be said that the father and son have exactly the same aura.
He silently uttered, "Old ginger is spicier."
Tan Yuchen was too lazy to banter with him anymore.
"Let's get back to the main topic."
Jiang Zhou said, "In this attack, besides the Chen brothers whom you and your colleagues have identified, Tan Yue should also have been involved."
It must be said that Zhou Congjin had a wider range of sources of information. Upon learning of his son's accident, he not only flew back immediately but also investigated the cause and effect as soon as he landed.
Tan Yuchen was much more successful a few years ago than he is now. He went to Malaysia and, under the pretext of killing a powerful man, raided the Chen family's stronghold. The two brothers had been biding their time for so many years and were already harboring resentment. When they came back to China, Tan Yue instigated them at a drinking party.
When he gets angry, he wants to talk about Yu Chen's life.
A glint of steel and a hint of menace lurked in his eyes. Tan Yuchen chuckled softly, “It’s just a bunch of old acquaintances, isn’t it?”
"Furthermore, I have already roughly sifted through the list of cruise ship waitresses you asked me to check. Although there was no surveillance that night, the list of waitresses was strictly sifted through, and those who did not leave the banquet and were never alone were counted. There were a total of forty-six people."
Jiang Zhou placed the list and photos beside him.
Tan Yuchen glanced down at it, but showed no intention of looking at it closely.
Jiang Zhou couldn't help but ask curiously, "Young Master, may I ask one more question? Why did you seek them out?"
In Jiang Zhou's eyes, he was not the kind of person who would linger over a one-night stand; otherwise, how could he have ended those relationships with his female companions so decisively?
"Want to know?"
Tan Yuchen said, "Seeing that you're too idle and curious about everything, I'll pick a wife for you to keep you in check."
He's started being sarcastic again. Jiang Zhou has gotten used to his unpredictable temper these past few days.
He didn't dare linger on the topic. "Old Liu from the club just called and said he found two things and didn't dare to handle them himself, so he brought them over."
The maple leaf husk on the table was the one she had given him.
Tan Yuchen lowered his eyes and looked down, his gaze intense and unfathomable.
Jiang Zhou said, "I have already transferred the 200,000 yuan for the motorcycle to Miss Meng."
Tan Yuchen's words revealed no emotion, as if they were just a casual question.
"She replied?"
Jiang Zhou nodded, and showed the phone screen to Tan Yuchen.
The other end replied via text message.
Thank you, Jiang Zhou. I wish you all the best in your future work.
So polite, and replying instantly.
So you only deleted him.
Oh...
The man's dark eyes were faintly reflected on the phone screen, their depths obscured.
He looked at Jiang Zhou and gave a slight smirk.
"How come I didn't know you two were getting along so well?"
Jiang Zhou sensed something was off about his words and quickly made his escape.
As soon as he left, the entire ward was filled with the man's lingering resentment.
Just then, Tan Ni called.
Tan Yuchen's voice was low and lazy, "What?"
"Brother, has Fourth Aunt gone mad? After causing a scene at home, she went to the Meng family's house to cause trouble."
Tan Yuchen didn't even lift his eyelids, showing absolutely no interest in Feng Lan's matter.
He only glanced at the Meng family name with a slight, indifferent look.
"Why?"
Tan Ni whispered, "It seems... she found out that Fourth Brother and Xiao Jiu were secretly together."
