Chapter 907: After All, I’m Very Reasonable
“If I’m not mistaken, he probably wants to… make a big move at your engagement ceremony.” Sheng Xiao’s expression was calm. There was not the slightest hint of panic. “Actually, it’s easier this way. First, we’ll use the assistant to find the mole. Second, we’ll control this assistant. When the time comes, we can use her as a witness to clear our name.
“The deeper you fall into someone else’s trap, the calmer you have to be. No matter how perfect a trap is, there will be loopholes. It’s like committing a crime.”
The more Mu Qiqi and Lin Mu’an heard Sheng Xiao’s words, the more they felt that the man in front of them was a god.
They felt like they needed to bow to him.
“It’s getting late. Let’s go home.”
Sheng Xiao hadn’t spoken so much in the past three days, so he was instantly unhappy.
Mu Qiqi looked at the man’s attitude and gradually understood that Qianqian would be fine.
“CEO Sheng, thank you for today.” Lin Mu’an thanked Sheng Xiao before he got into the car. This man’s head must have been blessed by God. Otherwise, which mortal could be so perfect?
Mu Qiqi waved at Lin Mu’an. After getting into the car, she still thought about it.
“Song Bozhi is really unscrupulous.”
“Under Song Jiang’s influence, it’s hard for him to be righteous,” Sheng Xiao told Mu Qiqi as he drove. “It’s easier to know that he’s dirty.”
“Master Xiao, do you know that your image in my heart today has become even bigger?”
“When have I not been bigger?” Sheng Xiao was puzzled by this question.
Mu Qiqi thought that Sheng Xiao’s observation skills had reached the level of an immortal. Others had only improved, but he had directly evolved.
“Set up a trap tomorrow. We’ll be able to find the mole very soon.”
“Understood.”
..
It was 10:30p.m. by the time Lin Mu’an returned to the Lu family’s home.
He had been wandering outside for a long time. He was conflicted about whether he should explain this matter to the old man. If something untoward happened at the engagement party, would the old man hate Qianqian?
However, he also wanted to take a gamble. The old man said that he had completely accepted Lu Qianqian, but he still didn’t know how much trust he had in her.
At the same time, he felt that it was inappropriate to test his family. After all, the old man was angry because he cared about him.
Forget it, he didn’t want to think about this.
When Lu Qianqian opened the door, she saw a conflicted Lin Mu’an.
“If you were any later, I wouldn’t have left the lights on for you.” Lu Qianqian pouted. “What did Grandfather say to you? Did he…”
Before Lu Qianqian could finish, Lin Mu’an pulled her into his arms and comforted her carefully. “I might not be able to protect you now, but I can give up everything I have.”
“What are you talking about? Did Grandfather scold you?”
Lin Mu’an shook his head and held her hand as they returned to their bedroom. “I hid what happened before from you. This time, I won’t hide anything from you.”
After that, Lin Mu’an told Lu Qianqian about what happened tonight.
“On the day of the engagement party, Song Bozhi might cause trouble, but…”
Lu Qianqian only reacted after she heard that. “What if that scum gave my nude photos to the guests that day? Your grandfather would definitely vomit blood if he saw them.”
Lin Mu’an rubbed Lu Qianqian’s thin lips and couldn’t help but laugh. “Only I can see your nude photos, so don’t worry. I’ll arrange for clarification.”
“I’m afraid that your grandfather will have prejudice against me again…”
“He’ll understand if someone is framing you.”
“Even so, I don’t hate Qiqi and I won’t vent my anger on her because I know that she doesn’t want to implicate us,” Lu Qianqian explained to Lin Mu’an. “If you want to blame someone, blame that scum. He’s too despicable and shameless.”
“Yes, I don’t blame her.” Lin Mu’an knew how good his Qianqian was, “I won’t let anything happen to you. I’ll do my best to protect you. So, to ensure the validity of the evidence, we’ll go to the hospital for a check-up to see if it’s true and if you were drugged, okay?”
“Is it too late to go now?” Lu Qianqian was afraid that the drug might have already left her system.
“Qiqi said that it will stay in your system for 48 hours.” On the way back, Lin Mu’an had already called a doctor he was familiar with and arranged an appointment with him.
“Then, we’ll go now.” Lu Qianqian took off her pajamas and changed into a set of clothes to go out with Lin Mu’an.
..
The next morning, Lin Mu’an went to the wedding dress shop again. He had an appointment to pick up the dress, but had brought the date forward.
The store manager saw him and asked with concern, “Is Miss Lu alright?”
“It’s alright, she’s fine.” Lin Mu’an sat on the sofa and smiled at the store manager.
“That’s good.”
“Where’s your assistant? Why don’t I see her today?” After Lin Mu’an got the dress, he looked around for the assistant.
“She’s tidying up the warehouse. Do you want to see her?” the store manager asked.
“I want to thank her in person for taking care of my fiancée.”
“Then, I’ll bring her here.”
The store manager was very quick on her feet. In less than a minute, the cunning little assistant from yesterday had arrived in front of Lin Mu’an.
“Mr. Lin…”
“Store manager, you go ahead and do your work. I’ll have a few words with your assistant.” Lin Mu’an took the opportunity to send the store manager away.
“Alright, you guys chat.” How smart was the manager? With just a glance, she could see Lin Mu’an’s intentions, so she immediately made room for the two of them to talk. The assistant became nervous again.
“Mr. Lin… Regarding Miss Lu, we’ve already made things clear yesterday…”
“Have we?” Lin Mu’an raised his head and looked at her standing straight. “Then, explain to me again. Qianqian fainted in two minutes, but the store manager said that you were there for six minutes. Can you tell me what you were doing for four minutes?”
The assistant’s eyes widened when she heard that.
She did not even realize that there was such a loophole.
“The scriptwriter didn’t pass the test and the logic of the script didn’t fit. Actually, you don’t have to be nervous. I won’t do anything to you because I know that you’re innocent. We’ve already found out who the culprit is.” Lin Mu’an spread his hands.
“Mr. Lin…”
“Are you going to help me or continue helping that person?” Lin Mu’an continued in a relaxed tone, “You can continue to pretend that you don’t know anything, but you have to know what I do. I’m brave enough to commit crimes in front of the police.”
“Besides, as long as I check your account, I’ll probably be able to see it at a glance, right?”
Hearing the word ‘account’, the assistant’s face instantly paled.
“How about it? I’ll give you time to think about it. After all, I’m very reasonable.”
