Chapter 811: Chapter 809: The Bullet Screen Scam 31
Actually, Chen Qing hadn’t invited Qiao Chen over for dinner for quite some time, but now Qiao Chen came over out of habit, and she couldn’t find the words to refuse.
Even though they didn’t believe Qiao Chen could achieve her goals without anyone noticing, being watched so closely made it chilling from the back. This feeling was unpleasant.
After dinner today, it was still Shen Muzhi who was taking Ah Chen home.
The rest of the Shen Family didn’t feel as relaxed as they initially did. Of course, they didn’t think this moment gave Qiao Chen enough time to do anything. Even if she wanted to, it definitely wouldn’t be now.
Once caught, Qiao Chen would be doomed.
They wished to catch some handle, but reality didn’t go as they hoped.
Aside from Qiao Chen’s inner thoughts, they didn’t find any other anomalies, even though their arrangements were quite meticulous.
"It might be Lira," Shen Muyang said, "Ever since Lira went to the Qiao Family as a housekeeper, she’s been arranging a lot of things. She’s not even a native."
Chen Qing and Shen Zhenxiong thought Shen Muyang made sense, but Lira’s mouth was hard to pry open. It was difficult for them to know from Lira what Qiao Chen had instructed her to do.
Shen Muyang glanced at his phone, "Eight minutes have passed. Big Brother should be coming back soon, right?"
Even knowing Qiao Chen wouldn’t choose this moment to do anything, they were still worried.
After waiting another five minutes, Shen Muzhi still hadn’t returned. The Shen Family members were restless and quickly called Shen Muzhi, but couldn’t get through.
The three exchanged glances, and Chen Qing spoke slightly anxiously, "Third Brother, go take a look, bring a bodyguard, say it’s about the company, don’t let her notice anything is wrong."
At the moment, this situation wasn’t enough to make them give up their original plan.
Shen Muyang nodded and took a bodyguard to Qiao Family Villa. As soon as he reached the door, he saw Shen Muzhi standing there, ready to turn around and go back, and he couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Brother, are you alright?" Shen Muyang quickly rushed to Shen Muzhi, asking in a low voice.
Shen Muzhi gently shook his head, "I’m fine. Why did you come over?"
"It’s just that you hadn’t returned and couldn’t be reached by phone..." The rest of Shen Muyang’s words didn’t need to be said; Shen Muzhi surely understood.
Though Qiao Chen’s inner thoughts seemed a bit scary, Shen Muzhi was not really afraid.
After all, he already knew Qiao Chen’s intentions, and it takes a lot of effort for her to affect regular people, much less Shen Family members. As long as they were unwilling, Qiao Chen couldn’t easily affect them.
Recalling Shen Muyang’s words, he retrieved his phone. The signal was fine now; earlier, he likely couldn’t connect due to signal loss — such situations could happen.
Shen Muyang waved his hand, letting the accompanying bodyguard go first, slowly walked alongside Shen Muzhi, whispering, "Brother, did you hear anything just now?"
"Yes." Shen Muzhi lightly nodded, "I heard her plan, targeting us brothers."
This was why he stayed longer than usual; he wanted to listen more and found a topic to chat with her.
Shen Muyang understood, not needing further explanation.
The brothers exchanged glances and said no more, walking quickly toward home.
Ah Chen stood by the window, smiling as she watched the brothers’ figures disappear.
Meanwhile, the bullet screen remained lively.
[Who will the heroine end up with?]
[Are you still thinking about that?]
[Shouldn’t we be considering the plot of this drama? Doesn’t the drama seem odd at every turn?]
[Everything seems normal recently, right?]
[For some reason, I also feel the drama is veering towards horror, and something feels amiss. Sometimes when I watch the heroine smiling while talking with the Shen Family, I get chills.]
[Me too, I thought it was just me feeling this.]
[Another day cursing the director, yet the director hasn’t responded, just asks us to keep watching.]
Ah Chen pulled the curtains shut, and the bullet screen abruptly stopped.
Meanwhile, the Shen Family was sleepless, all gathered in Shen Zhenxiong’s study, eyes on Shen Muzhi, waiting for him to speak.
"Earlier, I heard her plan, intending to act on her birthday," Shen Muzhi spoke, "Her birthday coincides with winter vacation. She plans to invite Muyang abroad for a trip while arranging for someone to cooperate with the Shen Family, coaxing me abroad too."
"I only heard that much for now."
Shen Muyang’s eyes widened, "She actually plans to secretly do this, what a ruthless heart. Directly getting us abroad, returning might be problematic."
"Brother, we cannot go, no matter what conditions we face. Inside the country, things can still be managed. But once it’s exposed abroad, she won’t escape. However, once abroad, it’s hard to say; many places are chaotic."
"Dad, Mom, can our plan be moved forward?" Shen Muyang asked again.
Shen Zhenxiong frowned, "We only have a social relationship with her, how can the plan be moved forward? The old man from the Qiao Family guarded against everyone, made countless arrangements; otherwise, why do you think it’s been so long since the old man died, why has no one directly moved against Qiao Chen, only daring to approach indirectly?"
"As long as Qiao Chen is sober, if she’s unwilling, no one can get what they want. Even if she’s kidnapped, it won’t benefit anyone; that old man was really ruthless!" Shen Zhenxiong added, "We must have her willingly involved and connected."
This is also why there are countless pursuers for Qiao Chen. If not for the Shen Family blocking, there would be even more.
The Dai Family’s previous approach was essentially a gamble, given their situation was quite dire, desperately seeking an escape from their predicament.
Even without the Shen Family’s intervention, assuming the Dai Family succeeded in their plot against Qiao Chen, they still might not achieve their goal.
Only if Qiao Chen’s character is resilient and has something with the Dai Family’s eldest son, might the Dai Family not dare to threaten her, instead sacrificing their errant eldest son. Of course, such consequences should be clearly understood. Precisely because their situation was dire, they took a desperate risk.
What the Dai Family didn’t anticipate was that the Shen Family knew of their plan first and used it to win Qiao Chen’s favor.
Since then, Qiao Chen indeed became closer to the Shen Family.
Had Rong Yu not existed, the coming years should have been smooth.
Originally a fair, refined young girl, she became so vicious and extreme in Rong Yu’s matter, surprising everyone.
Rong Yu... Thinking of this person, Shen Zhenxiong’s expression darkened.
If possible, he certainly wished for this person to disappear.
But she cared too much about Rong Yu that any mistake could be counterproductive, and he dared not act rashly.
"What should we do then?" Shen Muyang worriedly scratched his head, leaving his hair a mess.
He was now weary of dealing with Qiao Chen.
