Chapter 204 Detained (2/2)
”What happened?” Xiao Yue whispered, ”Wasn't it you who shot at him?”
Jiang Quanyu was evasive. He frowned and shook his head. ”I don't know either. Something fishy about this video.”
”Then what should we do now...” Xiao Yue asked without any worrying. There was no doubt that the Xiao family would protect Xiao Mei but their dissatisfaction with her was another story.
Surely enough, Xiao Mei was released after Jiang Quanyu contacted the Xiao family.
”I am sure that she won't stay in custody for a long time.” Shen Xinglan was not surprised at this message.
After the accident happened that night, Lil Xi contacted Shen II in Ding V's villa and told him all his plans. Shen Xinglan also added some details after that.
Lil Xi's plan was to doctor the video and erased the trace of the people of Shen Xinglan. Then, Shen Xinglan told him to replace Jiang Quanyu with Xiao Mei. The Xiao family would bail Xiao Mei beyond question and warned her to stay down. If so, at least that woman would not blatantly do anything anymore.
”Finally, you have done a serious business.” Shen I tapped the shoulder of Lil Xi, who was looking at A Miao with eager eyes.
Shen Xinglan glanced at him and said, ”Don't you leave?”
”I...I...” Lil Xi stammered and couldn't speak out, but sat still.
A Miao said nothing. When she noticed Lil Xi kept on staring at her, she didn't know how to respond, instead, dryly said thanks to Lil Xi.
”You're welcome!” Lil Xi hastily waved his hands and said, ”This is what I should do! I will listen to Shen from now on, and I won't make any trouble.”
Wei Meng came to see how Shen Xinglan was and sat beside A Miao gawking at her belly after knowing Shen Xinglan was all right.
”He does behave well recently.” Wei Meng nodded while she observed that Lil Xi was about to swear on his life. ”He even helps do the work at my house.”
Ding V said agreeably, ”It's a pity that he couldn't cook.”
”Do you seriously take me as your servant?” Lil Xi shot him a glare and eagerly looked back at A Miao.
Shen Xinglan couldn't stand his flattering behaviors to A Miao. ”I will protect A Miao, and why are you guys all gathering here?”
”Alright, leave now. Don't bother us.”
In Jiang Quanyu's office.
Xiao Mei sat on the sofa with a cold face. She had just been scolded and warned by her grandfather to leave the country if it should happen again.
”I have told you that leave A Miao alone before we get the bronze mirror and jade pendant.” Jiang Quanyu said sourly.
Because of Xiao Mei, his family also blamed him for not acting and commanded him to obtain the bronze mirror and jade pendant within three months.
”It doesn't make much sense to blame each other now.” Xiao Yue served them tea and said, ”We'd better consider how to achieve our goal at this moment.”
Before Shen Xinglan was still not fully recovered, A Miao received a message of He Shishi's injury.
”Disfigured?”
A Miao trembled and dropped the freshly cooked edible bird's nest. Song Baohuai cleaned it up quickly and went cooking in the kitchen again.
”What... what happened? Where is she?”
Shen I took a look at Shen Xinglan. Shen Xinglan nodded, allowing him to speak.
”It was Chi Ling.”
”Once again!” A Miao slapped the table and stood up. ”Hurry! What the hell is going on?”
Shen Xinglan stretched out to support her. A Miao turned around and said, ”Don't move!”
”Calm down. Let him finish.”
Shen I said, ”Chi Ling somehow had a quarrel with a general's daughter, who sent people to capture both Chi Ling and He Shishi. They made Ouyang choose between them and Ouyang...”
”And Ouyang chose to save Chi Ling.” A Miao was shivering with fury. ”What the fuck the kind of man he is?”
”In fact, everything was all right.” Shen I continued, ”They know He Shishi was somebody. It was just bluffing. Ouyang must have known it, so he let them take her.”
”Then?”
”It was such a coincidence that the general's daughter, who was a bit of a handful, got knocked down by her enemy halfway.”
The lighted gasoline burned He Shishi's face. The scar left on her face was not so serious but it was still devastating for a woman.
”Where is she now?” A Miao walked to and fro in the room. ”I have to see her. We can't leave her alone.”
”She had already left.” Shen I replied, ”Now no one can reach to her.”
A Miao was anxious. ”Where can she go with a burn? Do you try to find her?”
”I have given orders to them.” Shen Xinglan held A Miao into his arms to prevent her from any injuries. ”He Shishi is no ordinary girl. She won't rush into things and will choose the best for herself.
A Miao was flattered and nodded. ”Right! She must have gone to cure her face.”
A Miao couldn't feel at ease without the message from He Shishi. Half-a-month later, Shen Xinglan was removing the gauze while Shen I rushed in the room in a flurry.
”Boss! Boss! Bad news!”
Shen I's voice frightened A Miao. Her hand trembled and almost pulled the wound. A Miao patted her chest and shot him a glare. ”What happened?”
”We have got an order...” Shen I stuttered, ”The target is... is Ouyang.”
