"Overconfidence is a bad thing."
Shen Cheng thought Shen Siyan was just a good - for - nothing and didn't take him seriously. In contrast, Shi Wan was the one he feared the most, but he also thought she had no background in the underworld.
When hiding, he erased all traces of his presence, but he forgot that Shi Wan was not simple either.
"However, it's actually good this way. It saves a lot of time."
"Don't be naughty. Leave this matter to me."
Shen Siyan knew exactly what she was about to do at a glance and warned her in a low voice.
Although it was a warning, it had no effect on Shi Wan at all.
"Hmm?" She looked up, nudging his arm. "This... doesn't hurt anymore?"
The man's face twitched slightly. "It hurts. Spoil me a bit, little wife."
Shi Wan snorted and walked around him into the bathroom. She thought he was a little white rabbit, but turned out he was a big bad wolf. She really underestimated him.
Shen Siyan lowered his eyes, his eyes full of doting. His little wife was so easy to spoil.
When they went downstairs, Old Master Shen frowned and motioned for them to sit down.
"I've already sent someone to investigate that matter of yours, but... I haven't found out who it was."
Shen Siyan nodded. "Grandpa, maybe it was just an accident."
It was he who didn't let the old master find out.
He would solve this matter himself, and no one's plea would work.
"Maybe. The culprit has been found. He said he was willing to compensate, but I won't just let him go like this!"
The old master was angry.
Shi Wan was sipping tea on the side, calculating in her mind how to deal with Shen Cheng.
The couple had their own thoughts. They exchanged a furtive glance and then got up to leave.
"Grandpa, we have something to do. We'll leave first."
"Huh? You're injured. Where are you going? Can't you take a leave from the company? If not, you don't have to go to work. Anyway, the Shen family can afford to support you."
"No, I'm going to accompany Guagua to school. She's going through the graduation formalities."
"Um... huh?" Old Master Shen widened his eyes suddenly. "Graduation formalities? Isn't Wanwan only a sophomore?"
"She's too outstanding. The school allowed her to graduate early."
The man's tone was full of pride and show - off, as if it was his own achievement.
Old Master Shen smiled. "That's good. You brat... The wife you found is just like you. But Wanwan, don't you plan to continue your studies?"
"Continue my studies? Old Master, it's a waste of time for my Wanwan to go to school. She's already a doctor."
Sun Yiran's proud voice came, and then he and Tai Yong appeared in front of the three of them.
Shen Siyan's face darkened. How did these two get in?
"This... Siyan, I let them in."
The old master said.
"As long as you're happy, Grandpa. But we have to go now."
"Okay."
The old master forgot what Sun Yiran had just said and just watched the two of them leave.
In the car, Shen Siyan held her hand and asked casually, "A doctor?"
"It's just a degree. It's no big deal."
"So why did you agree to go to Beinan University back then?"
Shi Wan paused. "For the money?"
"Huh?"
"President He said that if I went there to teach the students, I would get a salary every month."
Shen Siyan's heart tightened. Was he really that stingy back then?
Did he even make her go out to work like a laborer?
"Of course, also because I was bored."
Shen Siyan: "..."
"My little wife is really not simple."
As soon as this address came out, Shi Wan knew something was wrong.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing. I'm just a bit guilty for making you work like a laborer back then."
Shi Wan burst out laughing. "Is that considered labor? I was just having fun. I didn't continue to be a teaching teacher later. I was too busy."
"Busy doing what?"
"Busy coaxing you."
"So good." Shen Siyan was overjoyed and let out a low laugh. "How do you want to coax me?"
Shi Wan raised her head and planted a loud kiss on his lips. "Like this?"
"Not enough."
Shi Wan continued.
When they got out of the car, the man's steps were light. His eyes on Shi Wan were full of pride and satisfaction.
"Continue next time. Keep your promise. You must coax me for a lifetime."
Shi Wan gave him a sidelong glance. "Getting the advantage and still acting innocent."
"Didn't you allow it?"
He held her hand, their fingers intertwined, not caring what others thought.
Shi Wan: "..."
The two completed the formalities and soon came out.
Shi Wan was now a well - known figure. Wherever she went, she was the focus. Shen Siyan was also outstanding in appearance, so it was no different for him.
The only controversial point was his identity, the good - for - nothing of the Shen family.
They used to think it was just a rumor, but it turned out to be true.
The outstanding Shi Wan had actually married the good - for - nothing of the Shen family, and their relationship even seemed quite good.
Shen Siyan didn't care about those people's gazes. He was used to it after all these years.
But Shi Wan felt heartache. As soon as she heard someone say something bad about Shen Siyan, her face would immediately turn ugly.
Those people only dared to curse in their hearts.
"It's okay, Guagua. I don't care."
In the car, Shen Siyan noticed Shi Wan's low mood and comforted her.
Shi Wan was just about to say something when she suddenly saw a message on her phone. Her eyes flashed, and she let out a soft "hmm".
"I'll have someone take you home. I have something to do here."
"Okay. Be careful."
He actually had something to do himself. This kind of thing was not suitable for Guagua to see.
Shi Wan rushed to the appointed place. Li Si was biting an unlit cigarette. When he saw her coming, he stood up straight.
"Have you learned to smoke?"
"No." Li Si spat out the cigarette. "Boss, don't you think it feels like we're about to do something bad like this?"
Shi Wan: "..."
What to do with a second - grader subordinate?
"Cool, and..."
"Stupid." Shi Wan said bluntly. "Stop joking. Where is he?"
"Shen Cheng has been inside for a long time. I don't know what he's doing in there, but it must be something shady."
Shi Wan nodded but didn't move.
"Boss, aren't you going in? I've observed inside. There's no one else except Shen Cheng."
"It's a dark and windy night."
Li Si immediately understood. Just as he was about to say something, a message on his phone made his face change slightly.
"Damn it!"
"What's wrong?"
"Boss, that bastard actually posted a message on the dark web saying he wanted to get rid of you and Mr. Shen. Moreover, he's also contacted people from a mercenary group."
"He has some guts."
"What should we do?"
"What should we do? Of course, wait."
Li Si was a bit confused about what his boss meant, but since she said to wait, he would wait.
At night, Shi Wan leaped into the villa. The light in Shen Cheng's room was still on.
Just as Li Si had said, there was no one in the house except Shen Cheng, not even a servant.
Shi Wan went upstairs and casually opened a room. A stench hit her face, the smell of a corpse, a dead person.
Inside the room, a woman was naked. Her carotid artery had been cut, and she was sitting on a chair. The floor was covered in blood, and the room was filled with the stench of the corpse. It was obvious that she had been dead for quite some time.
"Sister - in - law, how did you find this place?"
Shen Cheng's gentle and smiling voice came from behind.
