She is the Side Character! — Watch Her Change her fate!

Chapter 819: Chapter 817: The Barrage Scam 39

Receiving the call from the front desk, learning that Qiao Chen was looking for him, Shen Muzhi couldn’t help but freeze for a moment.

They weren’t planning on tearing things apart with Qiao Chen right now, so of course, Shen Muzhi had to maintain his image as the gentle older brother, and quickly instructed his assistant to bring her to the president’s office.

He didn’t know why Qiao Chen suddenly came to the company, but he felt that she had some plan.

Qiao Chen was a deeply scheming person, if he couldn’t hear her inner thoughts, he couldn’t have discovered she was plotting such malicious things inside.

That innocent and harmless face was really too deceptive.

However, no matter how deep her schemes were, she wasn’t a god and couldn’t predict everything.

Moreover, Qiao Chen’s current reliance was merely the assets of the Qiao Family; without those, she couldn’t do much.

So, let’s meet Qiao Chen; maybe he could hear her inner thoughts.

Qiao Chen put great effort into Rong Yu, and today’s visit probably had some intention.

Seeing Ah Chen carrying a thermos box, Shen Muzhi’s eyelids twitched, suspecting whether the contents had something added to them, causing his body to tense for a moment.

"I heard that recently, Brother Muzhi has been busy with work and hasn’t had much rest; don’t wear yourself out."

"I happened to arrange a meeting nearby today, so I brought you some soup." Ah Chen’s brows curved, the soup naturally had nothing added, it was just a normal nourishing broth.

How could she possibly deliver a soup with ulterior motives to be used against him?

She was just here to scare Shen Muzhi a bit.

Shen Muzhi thought about it, calmed down, and realized if Qiao Chen wanted to do something to him, she wouldn’t be so blatant.

He smiled softly as he accepted it, gazing gently, "Just in time, I’m hungry, thank you, Xiao Chen."

"You’re welcome."

"Brother Muzhi has always taken care of me."

Shen Muzhi asked again, "Is the matter urgent? Want to take a stroll around the company?"

"Can I?" Ah Chen asked.

At this point, Shen Muzhi certainly wouldn’t refuse. Fortunately, he wasn’t busy for a while, and after sipping the soup, he took Ah Chen around.

Qiao Chen came by, and he hadn’t been able to hear her inner thoughts, letting her leave like this left him somewhat frustrated.

He was eager to know what Qiao Chen planned next.

The feeling of having something inside his body being coveted was unpleasant.

Especially since Qiao Chen was watching Rong Yu so closely, there was nothing they could do.

[Not sure why, recently Shen Muyang hasn’t gone out, can’t find a single chance, can’t just go to Shen Muyang’s house and kidnap him.]

[Since things aren’t working out with Shen Muyang, I’ll have to figure something out with Shen Muzhi. Fortunately, the two brothers are young, both are in good shape, either one would work.]

[It’s just that Shen Muzhi’s identity isn’t ordinary, to make a move requires seizing the opportunity, I’ll come by first to see the situation. Shen Muzhi couldn’t possibly stay at home like Shen Muyang, there’s bound to be a chance.]

Upon hearing this string of inner thoughts, Shen Muzhi’s smile froze for a moment.

No wonder she suddenly came to the company, turns out she was scouting the situation.

Seems like having his younger brother stay home indeed wasn’t an issue, but now he’s got a problem.

Being targeted by Qiao Chen wasn’t a pleasant experience.

Ah Chen asked what Shen Muzhi was going to be busy with next, that innocent and harmless face really was too deceptive, if he hadn’t heard her inner plans simultaneously, he might truly believe she was just a genuinely curious young girl.

Shen Muzhi calmly explained his recent arrangements, without lying.

After all, whether it’s true or false, Qiao Chen could verify afterwards; lying would just alert the snake.

He’s already prepared now, Qiao Chen wouldn’t easily make a move on him.

Ah Chen didn’t stay long, satisfied as she prepared to say goodbye and leave.

It happened that Shen Muzhi didn’t want to continue negotiating with her, and secretly gave Secretary Meng Yan a hint; before long, Meng Yan hurried over with files, claiming there was an urgent matter.

"Then I won’t disturb Brother Muzhi while he’s busy."

"Secretary Meng, goodbye."

Ah Chen waved at the two, letting the company staff escort her down.

After she entered the elevator, Shen Muzhi let out a barely perceptible sigh of relief, exchanged a glance with Meng Yan, and entered the office, understanding each other without words.

"Looks like she’s planning to target you." Meng Yan smiled, her eyes flashing with a hint of madness that was difficult to comprehend, "If it weren’t for the appearance of the inner thoughts, I might really have thought this little girl was pure and harmless. Actually, it’s quite interesting, what do you think? Inner thoughts, this kind of thing is truly miraculous."

"I’ve nearly been scared to death by her, and you’re still pondering about inner thoughts." Shen Muzhi gave a helpless smile, then asked, "Are you interested in inner thoughts? No, I should say, have you done simple research on it, have you found any results?"

"How can results be researched from afar?" Meng Yan lightly shook her head, "Based on current understanding, inner thoughts typically only appear in novels, considered a special ’golden finger,’ if used well, it can bring great convenience to the protagonist."

"Do you mean we might be living in a novel? Then who is the protagonist? Qiao Chen?" Shen Muzhi laughed, from his smile, it was clear that he didn’t believe it.

"Perhaps in a novel, or maybe not, the world is vast and full of wonders, who can guarantee this world doesn’t contain those magical things." Meng Yan followed, "Whether in a novel or not, it doesn’t impact us much, as long as everything isn’t controlled by others, then fate is in our hands."

"Besides hearing Qiao Chen’s inner thoughts, she has nothing more than Qiao Family’s assets, nothing particularly special." Meng Yan said, "If she were truly capable, she wouldn’t be like this now."

"Once everything’s successful, leave her to me." Meng Yan approached Shen Muzhi, wrapped her arm around his neck, and gently kissed him on his cheek, "I’m very curious about her now."

"Okay."

"So we can definitely hear her inner thoughts, it’s not man-made, right?" Shen Muzhi asked.

In reality, he had suspected whether Qiao Chen’s inner thoughts might be man-made, deliberately misleading them.

However, after careful consideration, it didn’t quite seem like a misleading tactic.

After all, Qiao Chen truly intended to do as she thought inside.

Of course, this still hadn’t eliminated his suspicion, Qiao Chen didn’t want others to hear her inner thoughts, but it couldn’t be ruled out someone wanted them to hear Qiao Chen’s thoughts, or their plan encountered a loophole, hearing thoughts was an accident, also another gain.

"Even if someone wants to tamper, it should be on you guys." Meng Yan said, "What do you think? Didn’t you already go through a full-body examination last time? You don’t have any high-tech devices on you."

"If it’s something we couldn’t detect, then there’s no point in struggling, their technology knows how many levels beyond us, no need to target us with such means."

Shen Muzhi completely accepted that the inner thoughts were an accident.

Then he looked at Meng Yan, "You won’t study me in the future, right?"

Meng Yan laughed, tidying his collar slightly, "Relax, I won’t force you, if you’re willing to cooperate, I won’t do anything to harm you either."

"Alright, if there’s a need, I’ll cooperate, I trust you." Shen Muzhi said.
