"Don't worry. Just follow me."
Shi Wan and her companion had arrived early and were staking out the private room next to theirs. Before long, on the surveillance monitor at the door, they saw several men escorting a masked man approaching.
Shen Siyan stopped at the door. As if sensing something, he looked up at the surveillance camera and then entered the private room.
A familiar feeling washed over Shi Wan. She suddenly froze in place. Those eyes... they looked so much like Shen Siyan's!
But how could Mr. Si be Shen Siyan?
She must be overthinking it.
"Boss, what are you thinking about?"
Li Si suddenly nudged her.
"Nothing. Bring me the computer."
"Sure thing."
There were no surveillance cameras inside the private room. Shi Wan didn't know what they were trading, and she didn't need to.
Meanwhile, inside the other private room, Shen Siyan had just handed over the goods to the other party and watched as they transferred the money into his account.
"Pleasure doing business with you."
"Mr. Si, actually, I came here today to ask you for another favor."
The man looked embarrassed.
"What is it?"
"I have a batch of goods that need to pass through your territory. I hope you can provide some protection. Of course, I won't short you on the reward. Additionally, I'll offer you that batch of goods you were interested in before. How about it?"
Shen Siyan lowered his eyes. His slender fingers gently tapped on the table, each tap hitting the most nerve - wracking spot in the other man's heart. Soon, the man was sweating profusely.
The private room fell silent, and the atmosphere became extremely tense. No one dared to speak until Shen Siyan finally said indifferently, "Okay."
"Thank you, Mr. Si. Pleasure doing business with you!"
Hearing his answer, the other man beamed with joy. He heaved a huge sigh of relief and bowed to express his gratitude.
"Sir, why did you help him?"
"Interest."
Shen Siyan lowered his eyes, hiding the depth of his meaning. His fingertips traced the rim of the cup as he uttered these two words nonchalantly.
"Yes, sir."
"Sir, something's wrong! The money that was just transferred into the account has been transferred out by someone else!"
A cold glint flashed across Shen Siyan's eyes. He took the computer from his subordinate. When he saw the familiar method, he couldn't help but smile secretly.
The young mistress really does hold a grudge...
"Sir, what should we do?"
The man looked utterly confused. Just a moment ago, the sir's aura had been so cold. How could it change so suddenly?
"Don't worry about it." Remembering the surveillance camera outside, the man said cheerfully, "You guys go back first later. Don't send anyone to follow me."
"But..."
"Do I need to repeat myself?"
The man said coldly.
"Yes, sir."
The subordinate left with his men. After a while, Shen Siyan slowly left the private room.
Before long, he felt someone following him. He deliberately turned into an alley.
Suddenly!
A powerful gust of wind came at him!
Shen Siyan easily dodged and grabbed the person's wrist. He curled his lips and said, "You... a man?"
When he saw that it was Li Si, who often followed Shi Wan, his face instantly turned cold. He disdainfully shook off Li Si's hand and took out a handkerchief to wipe his hand repeatedly.
Li Si was mercilessly thrown to the ground. He grimaced and was just about to get up when he suddenly met the man's icy gaze. He was so scared that he collapsed on the ground.
Damn it!
The boss had just thrown him into the tiger's den!
Shen Siyan coldly threw away the handkerchief. Out of consideration that Li Si was someone around Shi Wan, he didn't take any further action.
Just as he was about to turn around and leave, a familiar fragrance filled the air.
The person who had just arrived was his young mistress. Who the hell was that man just now?
He easily caught the woman's attack and pinned her against the wall. His rich and sexy voice, accompanied by laughter, rang out.
"So it's a little beauty?"
He deliberately lowered his voice, making it sound like a smoky voice, completely different from his usual self.
Shi Wan frowned and counterattacked skillfully, but every time the man could easily defuse her moves.
"Quite feisty..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Shi Wan suddenly kicked him between the legs. His face instantly changed!
Was the young mistress not going to want a happy sex life anymore?
How could she be so ruthless?
"Damn lecher!"
Seeing the woman's fist coming at him, Shen Siyan endured the pain and dodged, grinding his teeth in silence.
He would have to teach her a good lesson when they got home.
After giving the man a good beating, Shi Wan quickly ran away with Li Si.
At this moment, Shen Siyan took off his mask and looked at her departing back with helplessness.
After beating the man up, Shi Wan was in a great mood. Coupled with the money she had just scammed, after sharing it with Li Si, there was still some left.
She bought some things before going home.
Shen Siyan, who had returned home earlier than her, heard the noise and came downstairs.
When Shi Wan met his eyes, she thought of the man she had seen earlier.
"Have you been at home all this time?"
"No."
"Hmm?"
Shen Siyan's eyes flickered slightly. "I just got back from a stroll with Grandpa."
She nodded. This wasn't strange at all. Whenever he had time, Old Master Shen would drag the two of them out for a walk.
Sure enough, she had been overthinking it.
"Where did you go? It's already eight o'clock."
A few black lines appeared on Shi Wan's forehead. She didn't want to discuss this issue with him because every time, he would manage to lead her astray.
She stepped forward. The man's body stiffened. Remembering what had happened in the alley, he still felt a lingering fear.
But he still reached out and hugged her. "If you come back after eight o'clock next time, call me. I'll come pick you up."
"Okay."
"Master, Mistress, the old master requests your presence."
The maid suddenly knocked on the door and came in, bowing respectfully.
"What's the matter?"
"I'm not sure. He just said to invite the two of you over."
"Maybe it's related to me."
Today's incident with Shen Jiao was bound to reach Old Master Shen's ears.
"Hmm?"
"Let's go over first."
Shen Siyan let her lead him without asking what was going on.
The situation was more serious than Shi Wan had thought. Shen Jiao had been defiled by several men with mental illnesses.
Second Lady was now crying and shouting in the living room, shifting all the blame onto Shi Wan with every word.
Her cries were heart - rending.
Shi Wan's eyes darkened. She walked into the living room boldly.
"Grandpa, Second Aunt, Second Uncle."
"Shi Wan, how dare you show your face in front of me? I'll kill you!" Second Lady's eyes were filled with madness. She lunged at Shi Wan. "Give me back my daughter!"
There was a cold look on Shen Siyan's face. "Try touching her!"
Second Lady was stunned. She was so frightened by his cold eyes that she stood still on the spot.
Almost everyone present was shocked as they looked at him. They had never expected him to have such a commanding presence.
Second Uncle Shen Tianhong's expression changed instantly. Shen Siyan...
"Shen Siyan, she's the one who hurt your sister! Instead of helping your own family, you're siding with an outsider? Are you even human?!"
Second Lady didn't dare to take action against them. She cried heart - rendingly.
"I trust Guagua."
Shi Wan's heart skipped a beat. It was as if something was about to break through a barrier.
"As her husband, I know exactly what kind of person Guagua is. She won't provoke others on her own initiative."
"Are you saying that this is Jiao Jiao's fault?"
"Don't you know what kind of personality she has, Second Aunt?"
Shen Siyan held Shi Wan's hand firmly and didn't back down an inch.
