Shen Jinghe had just finished a call.

No sooner had he put away his phone than Wenyan asked him using text-to-speech:

‘How did it go? What did the producer surnamed Hou say?’

Shen Jinghe frowned slightly, “I found out that Hou Wenbin also attended my cousin’s birthday banquet a few days ago, but he denies knowing Qiao Kexin, claiming he had never heard of the name before today.

“However, the people who attended the cousin’s birthday banquet were mostly from business circles; there were very few from the entertainment industry, so I asked him whether he saw anyone from other circles there.

“He mentioned Min Xiasha. If I remember correctly, during that wilderness survival variety show, your relationship with Shen Jingchuan and her was quite bad, to say the least. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say you made an enemy of her.”

“???”

Wenyan was at a disadvantage due to her speech impairment.

But Shen Jingchuan didn’t have that problem, and he couldn’t tolerate this.

“What the hell? She’s not going to harm Wenyan over this, right? With the dead fish face she had on the show, anyone would want to hit her. I didn’t because I have higher standards. She’s like trash, and yet she’s so petty, revolting!”

“It’s probably not just for that reason.”

“Then what else could it be?” Shen Jingchuan scoffed, “Because she’s cut from the same cloth as Qiao Kexin? Or maybe they’re fake besties? So she’s scheming for that Ms. Qiao?”

“I’m not sure about that, but according to Hou Wenbin, Min Xiasha came to him for a role in a big IP project he had. She wanted to book a role through Hou Wenbin, but he wasn’t very satisfied with her.”

Wenyan: ‘But what does this have to do with me? I didn’t do anything.’

“Because Hou Wenbin didn’t reject her at the time, but turned around and talked to someone else about preferring you. It’s possible Min Xiasha overheard that.”

Wenyan: ‘…isn’t this just trouble falling out of the sky while sitting at home?’

“But this is just our speculation at the moment. What’s certain is that Qiao Kexin very likely met with Min Xiasha that evening. Qiao Kexin probably didn’t know Hou Wenbin, but Min Xiasha was very familiar with both Hou Wenbin and the IP project he was handling.”

Shen Jingchuan: “Then it’s definitely those two bitches, no doubt about it!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the hurriedly arriving Shen Jingxiu also entered.

Normally, he looked severe enough, but at this moment, his expression was even colder, like ice.

“Who were you just talking about?”

Shen Jinghe was not particularly keen on talking to Shen Jingxiu, which both Wenyan and Shen Jingchuan were aware of.

Hence, Shen Jingchuan spoke up: “One named Min Xiasha, one named Qiao Kexin, and the one who was caught and sent to the police is called Qiao Qinglang, who is the older male cousin of that Ms. Qiao.”

“….” It was Qiao Kexin who did it!!!

A jolt of shock went through Shen Jingxiu’s mind.

He had no time to deal with Shen Jingchuan now, as he immediately took out his own phone.

He dialed with urgent movements, the atmosphere around him thick with an intimidating pressure.

Even a nurse who had just pushed open the door and was about to enter immediately closed it again and left upon seeing his icy demeanor.

At this moment, Shen Jingxiu was indeed in a terrible mood.

Because he never imagined that he could make such a grave mistake.

If only Qiao Kexin were still in A City, finding her wouldn’t be difficult.

But once she had left A City, locating her would not be so easy anymore.

She thought she could hurt someone from the Shen family and get away scot-free? That was absolutely impossible!

Luckily, the person on the other end of the phone didn’t make Shen Jingxiu wait too long.

The call was quickly connected.

Shen Jingxiu didn’t bother with small talk: “Turn around and intercept Qiao Kexin, now, immediately!”

“Ah?” The other party was confused for two seconds, but after those two seconds, he immediately regained his composure, “I can turn around right now and go back, but I can’t guarantee that I will definitely intercept her because the train checks tickets in advance.”

“Try everything you can, I won’t let you down. I’ll wait for your news! Keep in touch at all times.”

After speaking, Shen Jingxiu hung up the phone.

He then looked at Shen Jingchuan: “Was it you who brought Wenyan to the hospital?”

Shen Jingchuan nodded: “It was me. When I arrived, Wenyan had already run out herself. The bastard who drugged her hasn’t been caught yet, it’s a long story.”

“Then come with me to the police station, and tell me on the way.”

Before leaving, Shen Jingxiu took another look at Wenyan on the hospital bed, not saying an extra word the entire time.

Wenyan didn’t even have time to use text-to-speech to greet Shen Jingxiu, and could only wave goodbye to him when he was leaving.

Shen Jingxiu and Shen Jingchuan, both tall with long legs, walked quickly and soon took the elevator to the parking lot.

Shen Jingxiu drove while Shen Jingchuan told him everything he knew, including what he and Shen Jinghe had later deduced.

Soon they arrived at the police station.

Initially, when they heard it was about pressing for progress on a case, their attitude was quite dismissive.

But after a call from Shen Jingxiu, everything became smooth sailing.

The brothers quickly learned the information they wanted to know, but it was limited only to what the police had.

–

Hospital.

Shen Jinghe took the chair that Shen Jingchuan had been sitting on before.

He arched an eyebrow at Wenyan: “Really not going to let me see what you look like now?”

Wenyan rolled her eyes at him and used text-to-speech.

‘Forget about it. Last time, I spent two thousand yuan just to buy an ugly photo of myself that wasn’t too ugly from you. Now, if you see what I look like and take a photo or record a video with your bad intentions, it won’t be less than a few million before I can deal with you.’

“Tsk, did that pepper spray also clog your brain? Last time I clearly only asked you for one thousand, not two thousand!”

‘Does it make a difference? Blackmail!’

Shen Jinghe chuckled, “Who would blackmail someone for just one thousand yuan? That would be rather unsophisticated, right?”

‘Who? You.’

“Fine! Then if I hand over my phone to you for safekeeping, is that okay? I promise not to take pictures of you!”

As soon as he said it, Shen Jinghe took out his phone from his pocket and placed it beside Wenyan’s pillow.

“You know I always carry just one phone with me.”

‘Hmph, I don’t know about that.’

“Alright,” Shen Jinghe stood up decisively, “then I’ll search myself for you to see, okay?

“Nothing in the two pockets of my coat.

“My suit has no pockets, nothing to hide.

“Nothing in the two pockets of my trousers, either.”

Wenyan: ‘If there’s nothing, then there’s nothing, but why do you want to see so much, it’s not even good-looking.’

“Let’s put it this way,” Shen Jinghe sat back down on the chair, looking straight at Wenyan, “if today our positions were swapped, would you want to see my face?”

Without even thinking, Wenyan didn’t type, but spoke directly!

“Of course! (Yes!)”

“There, you see,” Shen Jinghe didn’t retort with his usual venom, but instead smiled at Wenyan sincerely, “I even gave you my phone.”
