Sheng Qian knew what kind of person Lin Xuanxiao was, and she became somewhat wary.
“I run a small business here. I’m an old acquaintance of Young Master Long. If Young Master’s wife has any trouble, she can ask me for help anytime,” Lin Xuanxiao said with a smile, but he didn’t have any sincerity at all.
Ask him for help?
Her troubles probably stem from him.
Sheng Qian merely nodded slightly, "I see Mr. Lin has some business to discuss, so I..."
"It's all settled. We're just having dinner together. If the Second Young Madam doesn't mind, would you please join us? It's more lively with more people, and the food will taste better too."
Sheng Qian did not want to sit with the other person.
He glanced at Ye Yingjie again.
Lin Xuanxiao and Ye Yingjie exchanged a glance. "Does the Second Young Mistress know Yingjie?"
"I don't know him, but this gentleman looks familiar," Sheng Qian said, then invited them to sit down: "Since we're all here to eat, let's sit together."
"I'm treating Second Young Madam to this meal today."
"Mr. Lin, you're too kind. I run my own small business, so I can afford the meal," Sheng Qian said, not wanting any benefit from the other party.
He wouldn't even take a bite of food.
Lin Xuanxiao was taken aback for a moment upon hearing this, then smiled and said, "It's the second young mistress being polite to me."
Sheng Qian did not respond.
Seeing this, Lin Xuanxiao asked Long Yunting, "I wonder if Second Young Master Long is also in Haicheng? If he is, I, as an old friend, should pay him a visit."
“He’s busy with other things and can’t come to Haicheng for the time being,” Sheng Qian paused slightly. “If Boss Lin has something important to discuss with someone, I can call him to Haicheng right now so you can handle it yourselves.”
"There's no need to go to such trouble. It's just that when you meet a familiar person in an unfamiliar place, it's inevitable that you'll have some emotional reactions. I hope you'll forgive me, Second Young Madam."
Sheng Qian nodded slightly, but didn't say anything more.
She seemed unfamiliar with him and didn't know what to say.
Ye Yingjie kept scanning his surroundings, clearly worried that Long Yunting might have other plans.
After scanning around, it turned out that Sheng Qian only brought one person out, and there was no one else guarding her.
Is Long Yunting really that at ease?
Also, isn't this woman afraid of being misunderstood when she goes out to eat alone with a man?
If it were anyone else, they would have avoided it long ago.
The fact that Sheng Qian was so openly dining with another man made Ye Yingjie suspect that her relationship with Long Yunting might be fake.
Otherwise, given Long Yunting's previous demeanor, how could he have allowed Sheng Qian to come out alone?
Not only Ye Yingjie thought this way, but Lin Xuanxiao did too.
The meal went fairly smoothly.
After they finished eating, someone came in a hurry, and Lin Xuanxiao and Ye Yingjie left in a hurry.
Judging from the situation, something must have happened.
Should we go with them and take a look?
He Weiguo always felt that something might happen if they suddenly left.
Sheng Qian nodded, "Let's follow them from a distance first..."
"Bang!"
They had just walked a short distance when the building behind them was bombed.
The collapsed area was where they had just been eating.
If they had been eating in the back just now, they would be the ones buried now.
The collapsed area was directly above, meaning that arrangements were made upstairs while they were eating.
And the movements are very fast.
Sheng Qian and He Weiguo's expressions changed simultaneously.
Someone was tampering with things upstairs, and they didn't even notice.
"They did it!"
He Weiguo said angrily.
“That’s not necessarily true,” Sheng Qian said, frowning slightly. “Someone rushed over to them just now; it might have been someone they know who did it.”
Even so, they're still in cahoots.
“Let’s chase after them and find out what’s going on,” Sheng Qian said, striding towards their car, but then paused before getting in. “Step back.”
They backed up, and the car exploded.
The vibrations caused a brief ringing in their ears.
He Weiguo's expression grew even more grim. "Are you alright?"
Sheng Qian pursed her lips and shook her head, turning her head to look at a spot where a car drove far away and disappeared from sight.
Sheng Qian pressed her temples and said, "Our situation is a bit dangerous right now."
"The other party is coming at us so openly, it must be either someone else from the Ye family or that Yan guy."
“You overlooked one thing. The Xie family can also go to such lengths. When a woman’s jealousy takes hold, it can be quite terrifying,” Sheng Qian said coldly, her eyes narrowed, before flicking off non-existent dust from her clothes.
He Weiguo frowned: "Could it really be someone surnamed Xie?"
"Whether it's surnamed Xie or not, we can find out by asking Miss Xie," Sheng Qian said, walking towards the other side.
He Weiguo looked back and clenched his fists.
Haicheng is far more dangerous than Beijing.
If they hadn't reacted in time, they wouldn't have been able to save Sheng Qian's life at all.
After this incident, the news agency quickly found the raw materials.
It was ultimately determined to be a trivial incident, and the investigation was hastily concluded.
Upon hearing the news, Old Master Ye immediately called Sheng Qian, "Qian, I heard you were attacked while out for dinner..."
“It shouldn’t be anyone else from the Ye family; they don’t have that kind of ability,” Sheng Qian interrupted Elder Ye directly.
Elder Ye: "..."
It's true, but it still hurts to say it out loud.
