The inexplicable text message made Lu Jinsheng involuntarily tense up. It was as if the air around him had solidified. Holding his phone in one hand, he frowned tightly and stared at it intently.
This also aroused the suspicion of Shen Jianyi beside him. She poked her furry head over, glanced at the message, and was full of doubts.
Shen Jianyi lowered her voice. "Who is this?"
He shook his head. The key was that Lu Jinsheng himself didn't know who this person was. It was this person who had called before, and now it was also this person who had fallen from the building. The same phone number was used, and there was no IP address.
After Lu Jinsheng's explanation, Shen Jianyi seemed to have guessed something. It seemed that this matter was getting more and more complicated. There was not only one force that wanted to kill her, but also another force or a person secretly telling them everything behind the scenes.
Who on earth was this person? A figure appeared in Shen Jianyi's mind.
Recalling what had happened during this period, she had a guess.
Shen Jianyi's eyelashes fluttered. "Could this person be Lu Yuan?"
"Who?" Lu Jinsheng was obviously surprised.
She wasn't sure either. She was just making a simple analysis. The person who could know everything about her in school and also know about their fall from the building must be someone around them.
Calculating like this, it seemed that besides Lu Yuan, no one else was suitable.
Lu Jinsheng took a deep breath. He closed his eyes gently and squeezed out a hoarse voice from his throat. "Yiyi, I'm sorry... If I hadn't taken you to such a dangerous place, we wouldn't have had to go through all this."
Facing his sudden apology, Shen Jianyi's heart was pounding violently. She suppressed her smile and her eyes curved. "You just wanted to share your childhood with me. There's nothing wrong with that. If we really have to say who's wrong, it should be Lu Ziqian, not you or me!"
She had never blamed Lu Jinsheng. Instead, she felt that Lu Jinsheng was dragged down by her. At the moment when he jumped off the building for her, he must have been very scared too.
Lu Jinsheng sat up from the bed, grabbed the woman's arm, pulled her into his arms, and hugged her tightly, as if she would be snatched away if he let go.
He rested his chin on the woman's shoulder and whispered in Shen Jianyi's ear. "I will definitely protect you, no matter what the cost."
The two hugged each other tightly and were reluctant to let go.
Just then.
The bedroom door was suddenly pushed open with a loud noise.
Maybe because the window was broken and there was wind, the door slammed against the wall. Lu Jinsheng looked up at the person at the door.
When Facai saw this scene, he immediately covered his eyes and kept backing away without turning his head. He had no idea if there was anyone behind him until he accidentally stepped on Xia Liang's foot.
"Facai!"
Xia Liang roared and hung her head, feeling heart - broken about her newly bought white sneakers.
She had only worn them for one day, and now they had been stepped on like this. She really couldn't hold back her tears.
Facai turned around and grabbed Xia Liang, dragging her to the living room.
"What are you doing?" Xia Liang was still immersed in the sadness of her sneakers being stepped on.
Only to see the other person frown, looking pitiful. "I just entered my room and was fed a big bowl of dog food. Don't you think I'm so pitiful?"
"Pitiful!" She wasn't really listening.
It would be a disservice to Facai's lack of discernment if they didn't go in and get a dose of affection. Lu Jinsheng had just woken up, and the two of them surely had a lot to talk about.
At this moment.
The two people inside the room had already stopped their sweet talk and immediately got back to the main topic.
It was still this strange text message. Shen Jianyi thought it was necessary to reply to the sender to see what else she could say.
If the sender was really Lu Yuan, then they would have a comrade - in - arms. But... Lu Jinsheng always felt that things weren't that simple.
"Yiyi, we fell from a sixty - story building and didn't end up in pieces. I think she must be able to guess that." Lu Jinsheng remained calm. "I think we should investigate Xu Wenji first."
"Xu Wenji?"
Lu Jinsheng nodded. "Yes. He's not only in contact with Lu Suowei but also in cahoots with Lu Ziqian. He's really suspicious."
Just when the two were at a loss, a new message popped up on Lu Jinsheng's phone.
Lu Weiran: [Someone came to me about the chips you mentioned. He claimed his name was Zhang Tusheng and said he had a large batch of chips to sell to me.]
This message immediately made the two suspicious. This Zhang Tusheng must be Xu Wenji. Did he think Lu Suowei was useless and now set his sights on Lu Weiran?
Then, Lu Weiran sent another message.
Lu Weiran: [However, he said he needed me to help him transport half of the chips in his hands out of the country to an unregulated area first. Should I agree?]
An unregulated area...
Shen Jianyi couldn't figure out the meaning of what Xu Wenji was doing. The chips he sold to Lu Suowei must be fake, and the ones he wanted to sell to Lu Weiran were probably fake too.
But she remembered that the mastermind behind the scenes had said that the chips had been decoded. It was very likely that the chips to be transported were really copied. Once they got to that place, Shen Jianyi would lose the basis for her investigation.
She suddenly sat up straight, looking surprised. "Tell him to agree, but don't let the chips be transported out."
As soon as she said this, Lu Jinsheng immediately refused. "No, it's too dangerous. If he can transport the chips out, he must have found a lot of people to guard them. It will be very difficult for the two of us."
Hearing this, Shen Jianyi gently held the man's big hand with her slender one. She frowned tightly and said firmly, "It's not the two of us. It's just me. I can't let you take risks in this matter. Although I've been kicked out of the organization, I did take over this task after all, and I also want to know what the truth is."
What she said really annoyed Lu Jinsheng. Shen Jianyi was always like this, wanting to take everything on herself.
"Yiyi." Lu Jinsheng's eyes were full of affection, and the corners of his eyes drooped. "You have me now. Since I'm your man, I'm ready to protect you for a lifetime. I don't want to just watch you take all this on alone."
Shen Jianyi stood there stunned. They had been talking about the next move, so why did it suddenly turn so emotional?
She frowned tightly. "Lu Jinsheng, but I don't want you to get hurt either. I've been through all this since I was a child, and I'm already used to it. You're different from me."
In Shen Jianyi's heart, they were like a white dove and a crow. She had been through all this since childhood, so she thought this was just life.
She could rely on Lu Jinsheng, but that would indeed bring trouble and danger to him.
Lu Jinsheng held her hand. "How am I different..."
