[Master, are you still in Fa Cai's lab? I'd like to come and find you.]
As soon as Shen Jianyi got home, she received this message. It showed that it was sent by Xia Liang.
She was about to reply when another message came in immediately.
[I've finished my work. I'd like to talk to you about the chip!]
Shen Jianyi frowned tightly. Something just didn't feel right because Xia Liang would never talk in this tone.
Lu Jinsheng, standing beside her, was a bit puzzled. The other person had sent two messages, but why didn't she reply at all?
"What's wrong?" Lu Jinsheng didn't quite understand their way of communicating.
"This isn't Xia Liang," Shen Jianyi turned to look at the man beside her. "Xia Liang would just tell me directly how the chip is. She would never say she wants to talk to me. Moreover, there's a mountain of work piling up in her company. She just got back. How could she have finished it so quickly?"
After hearing Shen Jianyi's explanation, Lu Jinsheng couldn't help but let out a soft cough. Sure enough, this was a woman's insight. It was truly terrifyingly meticulous.
Lu Jinsheng's cold voice was tinged with a bit of tenderness. "Yiyi, do you still remember what Xia Liang told you before?"
"Remember. You're talking about the assassination, right?"
"Right," Lu Jinsheng's eyes suddenly turned cold. "If this isn't Xia Liang, it's very likely that Vivian and the others took Xia Liang's watch to communicate with you."
If that was really the case, it meant that the research institute had already discovered the relationship between the two of them.
She never thought that after hiding for so long, they were finally discovered.
Just as she opened her mouth to say something, she suddenly realized something was wrong.
Shen Jianyi frowned tightly and turned to look at the calm - looking man. There was not much change in her expression, but her heart was trembling. "How do you know about Vivian?"
For a moment, she felt that the man in front of her was also in disguise. It was really creepy.
Since Xu Wenji started all those disguises, she didn't trust the people around her at all. She was so vigilant that she even suspected the man in front of her.
Lu Jinsheng scoffed. "You don't think I'm Xu Wenji, do you? Don't worry at all. I learned about this from Fa Cai."
Looking at his sincere expression, Shen Jianyi had no choice but to believe him. She couldn't keep suspecting this man.
The most important thing now was to deal with the watch first.
Without hesitation, Shen Jianyi smashed the watch directly.
Watching the watch turn into a pile of debris and be thrown into the trash can by the woman, Lu Jinsheng didn't quite understand at that time. He frowned and asked, "Why did you smash the watch?"
"The watch has a positioning system. Although I don't know if De Fu has restored it for me, it's better to be safe than sorry."
At this critical moment, smashing a watch was nothing. She looked at the man beside her and sneered. "Don't worry. Even if they catch Xia Liang, they definitely won't hurt her."
Xia Liang was the only one in the research lab who could locate everyone's position. Her hacking skills were unparalleled across the country.
That was exactly why Zhou Sang would never easily hurt her because of a small thing. At most, he would just lock Xia Liang up or send someone to guard her.
There was also a possibility that Vivian and Sam, those two money - grubbers, wouldn't tell Zhou Sang about this for the sake of the reward. In that case, it would also be beneficial to herself.
Just as Shen Jianyi was about to go upstairs to wash up.
Sister Gu rushed in from the yard in a hurry. She propped her hands on her knees and gasped, "Young master, young mistress, there's a model who claims to be from the young mistress's company outside and wants to see you."
A model?
The only models in the company now were Liu Tiantian and Shen Jiayu. The one who would come all the way to the house to find her must be the latter.
Lu Jinsheng seemed to have guessed it too. At this moment, he frowned tightly. His expression was no longer as relaxed as before. He looked very serious, which sent a chill down one's spine.
Sister Gu shivered and averted her gaze. "Um... Young mistress, should I let him in?"
"Let him in," Shen Jianyi didn't really care. She even wanted to see what this person who came to find her wanted.
As soon as Sister Gu went out, the man beside her was like an overturned vinegar jar. He directly hugged the woman from behind and effortlessly picked her up with one arm.
He sat on the sofa and let the woman sit on his lap. This action was extremely ambiguous. Shen Jianyi wanted to struggle, but the man behind her held her down tightly.
"Lu Jinsheng, you're becoming less and less discreet! After I found out you're Gun, you don't even bother to hide your strength, do you?"
"What do I need to hide from you?" Lu Jinsheng hooked his lips into a smug smile, as if he had occupied the whole world.
At that time, Shen Jianyi was a bit helpless, but she could only let him hold her like this.
It was needless to say that this was the man's inexplicable sense of competition. He must have known that the person outside was Shen Jiayu, so he did this without saying a word.
Not long after.
The living - room door was opened, and Sister Gu led Shen Jiayu in.
Obviously, Shen Jiayu was stunned when he saw the two of them. The words he wanted to say were now stuck in his throat.
He stood there like a child who had made a mistake, waiting to be scolded by his parents. However, the two of them didn't say a word.
After a moment of silence.
It was the man behind her who spoke first. His voice was deep and cold. "Shen Jiayu? What do you want with my wife?"
Only then did Shen Jiayu come back to his senses. He stammered, "Um... Mrs. Lu, I came to ask if you've seen Zhou Ze recently. I haven't been able to contact him."
Speaking of Zhou Ze, Shen Jianyi remembered his real identity. The poor little boy had been deceived about his brotherly friendship for so long. Until now, he probably still didn't know the other person's real identity.
Shen Jianyi didn't know if she should tell him the truth. She struggled with this in her mind for a long time, and finally made a decision.
She stared at the boy in front of her expressionlessly. Her voice was devoid of any emotion. "No, I haven't seen him. I haven't contacted him since I kicked him out of the company last time."
At this moment, Shen Jianyi was like an eternal iceberg that would never melt.
Shen Jiayu was a bit worried. He took a few steps back and looked at the people in front of him with a panicked look in his eyes.
This fleeting look in his eyes, which was not easily noticeable, was immediately captured by Shen Jianyi.
She pinched the man's arm behind her, and Lu Jinsheng immediately understood. He let her go, and Shen Jianyi stood up.
"He's missing. Why are you asking me?" Shen Jianyi said as she walked forward. Now she was getting closer and closer to Shen Jiayu.
