Not long after Wen Yan sent the message, Ji Hanshi called.

"Why don't you just call?"

he asks.

Wen Yan said: "I thought it was inconvenient for you. Are you in the imperial capital? Is the atmosphere very tense now?"

She subconsciously lowered her voice, feeling very stealthy.

"It's quite tense. Zhou Qin is about to go crazy because of the alcohol."

Ji Hanshi glanced across the table.

Zhou Qin stood up and prepared to bend down, letting Li Feiran stand on the chair to pour him some wine.

Li Feiran mocked him: "Is your waist okay? Don't break it."

Zhou Qin snorted, "Except for my kidneys, my waist is the best part of my body, get out of the way!"

"Drunkenness, are you drinking?"

Wen Yan was stunned. Didn't they say the situation was critical? How could she still be in the mood to drink?

"Well, have a drink."

Ji Hanshi didn't say much.

Wen Yan hesitated for a moment and said, "Mu Yicong contacted me."

Ji Hanshi was not surprised at all. He sneered, "Did he imply that he can help, but he needs you to make a choice?"

Wen Yan didn't say anything, indicating her agreement.

Ji Hanshi said: "Don't worry, trust your husband."

"Well, that's what I told him."

Wen Yan smiled.

After that, the two didn't speak again, but didn't hang up the phone either. They could hear each other's breathing, and it felt like the other person was by their side.

After a long time, Wen Yan said, "I'm going to accompany Shen Yan."

"Well, see you tomorrow."

Wen Yan hung up the phone and went to comfort Shen Yan. When she heard that Ji Hanshi was also in the imperial capital, Shen Yan's worries were alleviated a little.

**

This night.

The entire imperial capital seemed calm on the surface.

In fact, many big families are waiting to watch the show.

The Liu family announced that they were going to deal with Xi Yunshuo, and it was said that they had contacted all kinds of people, both black and white.

I thought there would be a big battle, but unexpectedly it was a quiet night.

The next day, there was suddenly no news from the Liu family.

News came from the hospital that Liu Dongming had saved his life, but his body was severely injured and he was basically disabled.

Hengdong Group quickly made adjustments and let Liu Dongming's younger brother take over his position.

And announced that they would give up the investigation into Liu Dongming's murder.

Outsiders had vague guesses about what was going on, but in order to save face, they would at most discuss it in private, and no one would publicly question it.

When Mu Yicong learned about this, he was stunned for a long time, and then sighed: "It seems that Ji Hanshi has already started to lay out in the imperial capital's business community."

Elder Feng was puzzled: "Why do you think so?"

Mu Yicong said: "Liu Dongming and his brother have always been at odds. You need to have a deep understanding of the imperial capital's business community to know this kind of thing. And to be able to reach an agreement with Liu Dongyan overnight, this must have been a long time ago."

He narrowed his eyes and said, "Ji Hanshi, given time, he might have the same status in the imperial capital as in Haicheng. I wonder if he and I will be partners or enemies by then."

At this point, he laughed at himself: "It seems that Wen Yan can only be a regret in this life for me."

He looked out the window, his face full of regret: "She once made me see the beauty of human nature in this world, but now, she makes me feel the cruelty of love."

After saying that, he took out his cell phone and sent a message to Wen Yan.

now.

Wen Yan had just arrived at Xi Yunshuo's residence from home and had breakfast with Shen Yan.

The phone suddenly rang.

When I opened it, I saw the message from Mu Yicong——

[He succeeded, congratulations]

Wen Yan did not reply to him, but looked at Shen Yan, raised the corner of her mouth and said: "The matter should have been resolved."

Shen Yan didn't sleep well all night and looked gloomy. When she heard this, her cat eyes suddenly lit up.

"That's great!"

Her eyes suddenly turned red, and she held Wen Yan's hand, both of them smiling happily.

**

It was already late at night when Xi Yunshuo returned home.

The room was dark, and he thought Shen Yan had fallen asleep, so he tiptoed towards the living room.

Suddenly, a figure rushed over.

Xi Yunshuo grabbed the other person's arm without even thinking about it, as if by reflex.

"what!"

The woman's scream was accompanied by a familiar fragrance.

Xi Yunshuo quickly let go, frowned and wanted to blame her, but her soft body fell into his arms.

"Don't make trouble!"

He accused sharply.

"I'm not kidding, I'm serious."

In the darkness, Shen Yan's cat eyes sparkled.

"What are you doing seriously? Are you going to sneak attack me?"

Xi Yunshuo sneered in annoyance.

Shen Yan hooked her arm around his neck and whispered, "Thank you very much."

"How……"

Before Xi Yunshuo finished asking, he heard something falling gently to the ground, and the woman in his arms became naked.

"Shen Yan, you——"

Xi Yunshuo's face instantly turned hot, and he gritted his teeth to stop it, but the next second, his mouth was blocked.

Xi Yunshuo pulled Shen Yan away and said sternly, "Don't mess around!"

Shen Yan's tears fell, and she cried, "Yun Shuo, just this once, from now on you can get engaged and married to Miss Bai, and I won't bother you anymore, okay?"

Xi Yunshuo was slightly startled and looked down at her gloomy face.

Just when Shen Yan felt there was no hope and was about to give up, suddenly, his body felt lighter.

She was carried to the bedroom, and they both slid into the big bed.

And fell into the most wonderful dream together.

**

Qingyue had just finished her work and stood up to pour some water when she met Jiang Yan in the corridor.

Jiang Yan came to the company frequently these days. Because of the cooperation, Qingyue had had working meals with him a few times, but they were always with other colleagues.

"Mr. Jiang."

After all, he was the boss of the cooperative company, so Qingyue was very polite to him.

"Qingyue, regarding the project, I feel that some aspects are not appropriate, but I don't have time now. How about we have dinner together after get off work today and talk about it?"

Jiang Yan asked.

It is common to talk about things over a meal. Qingyue nodded: "Okay."

"Then I'll pick you up after get off work. Don't worry, it won't take up too much of your time."

He said with a smile.

Soon it was time to get off work and Jiang Yan came to pick up Qingyue.

They came to a private restaurant with an elegant environment and good food.

"Boss Jiang, if there is anything wrong with my work, please tell me directly. You're welcome."

Qingyue said sincerely.

Jiang Yan smiled, raised his hand to pick up the serving chopsticks, picked up a piece of fish and put it in her bowl, "Let's talk about it after you're full, otherwise it will seem that I'm being harsh."

Qingyue smiled, said nothing, and lowered her head to eat.

"By the way, I remember your husband's last name is Sheng. Is he related to Shengshi Group?"

Jiang Yan asked casually while drinking his soup.

Qingyue raised her eyes to look at her.

Jiang Yan smiled faintly: "Of course, this is a personal question, you can refuse if you don't want to answer."

Qingyue pursed her lips: "Thank you."

Seeing that she really didn't want to answer, Jiang Yan continued: "Speaking of Shengshi Group, I wonder if you have heard of Sheng Yanzhou? He is the head of the group."

"He is very capable despite his young age. He runs the group very well. Everyone praises him as a rare talent, but -"

Jiang Yan changed the subject and smiled helplessly: "They don't know that Shengyanzhou gained its status by stepping on the corpses of countless people."

These words made Qingyue pause in picking up food and look up at him.

Jiang Yan smiled sheepishly, "You may not like to hear this, but there are some things that I really need to talk to someone about."

"It doesn't matter, just say it."

Qingyue said calmly.

Jiang Yan's expression darkened: "This is a secret hidden in my heart. My father was killed by Sheng Yanzhou."

After saying this, he looked at Qingyue steadily, as if waiting for her reaction.

Qingyue lowered her head and chewed the food, her movements very lightly and slowly.

After a long time, she looked up at him with clear eyes. "Go on."

Jiang Yan said: "Twelve years ago, my father worked at Shengshi Group. At that time, a major event happened in the group. Sheng Yanzhou took the position of president with great force. My father had many disagreements with him. Later, one winter, he suddenly jumped off the building."

At this point, he became emotional.

"My father is an optimistic person. He would never commit suicide. It must have been Sheng Yanzhou who did it. He is a stubborn devil. Anyone who doesn't do what he wants will end up in a miserable situation."

He laughed bitterly and said, "Since then, our whole family has fallen apart. My mother lost her job and suffered a mental breakdown. I went from being a child of fortune with a rich family to having nothing!"

Qingyue listened to him quietly, put down her chopsticks and said, "Mr. Jiang, I'm sorry for what happened to you, but are you telling the truth or is it just your imagination?"

"It's absolutely true!"

Jiang Yan's forehead was throbbing with excitement. He suddenly stood up and held Qingyue's hand: "When I was abroad, I saw you protecting that little girl. I know you are a kind person. I hope you stay away from that devil!"

Qingyue frowned, stood up immediately and took a step back.

"Sorry, I don't understand what you're talking about."

She picked up her bag and turned to leave.

"Qingyue!"

Jiang Yan questioned from behind, "Are you willing to stay by the side of a devil for the sake of so-called wealth and power?"

Qingyue stopped and turned back and said, "I married the man I love. He is not a devil."

Having said that, she left.

"I will take revenge on Shengyanzhou. He destroyed my happiness. He doesn't deserve a happy life!"

Jiang Yan yelled hysterically.

Qingyue walked out of the hotel, holding her pounding heart, and stood at the door for a long time before quickly leaving.

Not far away, inside the car.

"Master, the lady is out."

The bodyguard took out his cell phone and reported to Sheng Yanzhou.
