LiShuang listened to the scuffling and quarreling in the receiver.
She knew something had happened.
When she came out of the bathroom, Shen Yan, who always woke up before her and could not fall into a deep sleep, was now lying quietly on the bed, sleeping.
She guessed the injury made him too tired.
LiShuang went out quietly.
MaoAnan had already changed her clothes and was sitting in the living room. When she saw her coming down, she took the clothes prepared by the servant and handed them to her.
"Casual clothes."
LiShuang quickly changed her clothes and knocked on LuJiuqian's door.
The door opened, and LuJiuqian's hair was messy as he yawned.
"What's wrong?"
LiShuang said seriously: "Something might have happened to Tang Yu. ShenJi hasn't woken up yet. I need your help."
LuJiuqian rubbed his eyes, trying to wake himself up.
"Tang Yu? What's going on?"
LiShuang frowned slightly.
"ShenYuci has them all under house arrest there."
"And I guess he already knows that this is all a scam. I've been in contact with Tang Yu before, and I'm afraid it will be bad for her."
Especially after Chu Xi was kidnapped, LiShuang did not dare to be negligent or act rashly.
If there is not enough time, then the worst possible outcome will be—
It means exchanging myself for Tang Yu.
LuJiuqian thought for a moment: "It's a small matter. I'll make a call."
The Second Master said that the Cheng family members are on the list of people attending the banquet, so if anything happens, they can be used.
LuJiuqian dialed the phone, and it rang for a long time before it was connected.
Mr. Cheng expressed his dissatisfaction as soon as he spoke.
"What?"
LuJiuqian recognized his voice and smiled: "Uncle, long time no see."
Master Cheng snorted coldly.
"I haven't seen this either. Besides, after you and ShenJi started fooling around, we don't have to see each other anymore."
BaJie: [Oh, LuJiuqian's uncle is the head of the Cheng family, but the two of them act like enemies when they meet.]
[Oh, that's it.] LiShuang nodded slightly.
She still remembered that BaJie mentioned the Cheng family when he talked about Jiangcheng's ranking.
LuJiuqian was leaning against the door, chatting and laughing with a playful smile on his face.
"How could I do that? My uncle is in prison, and I feel bad for him, so I called him to show my concern."
Master Cheng: "Stop it, get out of here. I'm hanging up."
LuJiuqian quickly took over the conversation: "Help me rescue someone."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Cheng became even more agitated.
"You've been hanging out with that guy all day. What? You thought of me because you can't make it anymore? You're dreaming!"
"Save your nephew's wife!" LuJiuqian's voice was so disgusting that it almost squeezed water out.
Master Cheng: "…"
"Hang up."
LuJiuqian: "Really? If she gets married in a formal ceremony with a sedan chair carried by eight people, and something happens to her, I will go to the mountains and become a monk. Wouldn't my mother cry to death?"
LiShuang: [His mother is really going to die of his filial piety. ]
BaJie: [But no matter what the Cheng family says, they can't have a say in front of the Shen family…]
Mr. Cheng was silent for a while, and his attitude became slightly compromising.
"Who is it?"
LuJiuqian: "The eldest lady of the Tang family, Tang Yu."
Master Cheng blurted out: "Does anyone like you?"
"..." LuJiuqian: "You and my mother have a child who is not a biological child, right?"
"You fart!" Mr. Cheng cursed.
After all, LuJiuqian's biological mother is his own sister. How come he has such a jerk of a nephew?
Under LuJiuqian's vows of eternal love and loyalty until death that moved heaven and earth,
Mr. Cheng was tired of listening to it: "Stop making it up. Now I can't get it even if I want to."
Seeing that his goal had been achieved, LuJiuqian smiled.
"That's easy to say. Second Master bribed someone in his company. If you use it to exchange information and he disagrees, then if something goes wrong in the company, he will be busy again."
Master Cheng: "You little beast, why don't you come to exchange? ShenYuci has gone insane, and the people from the small families below are all shot. Do you think I am too old?"
LuJiuqian swore solemnly.
"Don't worry, our Lu and Cheng families are like stars in the sky when we are apart, and like a fire when we are together. If something really happens to you, the Second Master and I will hold this fire and burn you to death!"
Master Cheng: "You beast!"
Even LiShuang, who was standing by, heard the curse.
But after Mr. Cheng finished scolding, he also had his own thoughts. The Cheng family didn't stand on ShenJi's side anyway, and with LuJiuqian around, ShenJi wouldn't do anything to the Cheng family.
He took the information to exchange for the eldest lady of the Tang family, improved the relationship with the Tang family, and also did a favor to ShenYuci.
Mr. Cheng finally cursed.
"Next time, if you have something to say, just say it. Don't talk to me about your girlfriend. With your rogue look, no one will be interested in you!"
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
LuJiuqian glanced at the phone interface: "As I get older, my temper has also gotten worse."
Then he sent him the list of personnel.
LiShuang: "Is that all?"
LuJiuqian smiled and put away his phone.
"Old Cheng is very smart. As for ShenYuci, he is seriously injured now and will definitely not make many enemies."
"Even if he really wants to do something to Tang Yu, Old Cheng will tell him that if he doesn't give him face, he will offend the Tang family, Cheng family, Lu family, and the Second Master in Jiangcheng. Can he afford the risk?"
After listening to LuJiuqian's well-reasoned analysis, LiShuang began to look at him with new respect.
"LuJiuqian, little mouth."
After saying that, she gave him a thumbs up.
"Tsk." LuJiuqian smiled and frowned.
Why does it feel so good to be praised by others?
LuJiuqian raised his hand and scratched his messy hair.
"Actually, this was the retreat that Second Master had arranged in advance. I was just following the flow."
After hearing this, LiShuang said "Oh" without any hesitation.
Turning away, she could not help but complain: "That's what I said."
[How smart can a person be if he suddenly remembers to burn a bunch of chopsticks? ]
Seeing that she really left like that, LuJiuqian stood up anxiously.
"Hey! What do you mean by 'oh'? I also participated in the planning, okay? I was just being modest just now. Come back and praise me again!"
LiShuang ignored him and went downstairs again.
She sent a message to Tang Shi, but before she could say a few more words to MaoAnan, she heard anxious footsteps behind her.
LiShuang turned around when she heard the voice and saw Chu Xi running in.
Just as LiShuang was about to open her arms, Chu Xi threw herself into MaoAnan's arms.
"Woo woo woo, I'm scared to death..."
Hei Feng anxiously stepped forward and greeted: "Miss Li, BaiZe said something happened. I will take them here first. Where is the Second Master?"
LiShuang looked back and saw LiWanwan being pushed in by BaiZe in a wheelchair.
She whispered, "Second Master is resting upstairs."
HeiFeng glanced upstairs worriedly but didn't bother them.
LiShuang looked at LiWanwan, walked up to her, lightly lifted her chin with her fingertips, and spoke in a very soft tone.
"Someone tried to kill me last night."
LiWanwan was still a little weak: "So? Are you going to say it was me again?"
LiShuang sneered.
"It is basically certain that ShenYuci is the one behind the honey-dropping incident. The man who shot you is actually the one behind you, right?"
LiWanwan's pupils suddenly shrank.
"I guessed it right." LiShuang raised the corner of her lips into a smile.
No matter how well people hide their emotions, their eyes can never deceive them.
LiWanwan raised her palm weakly and pushed her hand away.
"I don't know what you're talking about."
LiShuang stood up straight, looked down at her, and continued.
"I also know that the person is someone close to ShenYuci."
And it was almost certainly the driver wearing white gloves.
LiWanwan lowered her eyes and pursed her lips, not responding to her question.
LiShuang: "There is just one thing I can't understand. If you want to bring down ShenYuci, you can just tell ShenJi directly, or tell the people behind you to ShenJi. If they join forces, it will be much faster than you can do these things."
LiWanwan raised her eyes and chuckled.
"I don't understand what you're saying."
