Chapter 126 Anger aside, honest advice still needs to be heeded.
Anonymous message: Get me out of here first, I'll handle the rest myself.
Su Qi: Just wait, I'll find another opportunity.
She planned to wait for Shen Chaohuai to return so they could make plans together.
Shen Chaohuai supports her in doing this, so he probably won't stop her.
She found a comfortable spot on the headboard and leaned against a corner, gently hugging her legs.
Su Qi let out a deep breath towards the ceiling.
She suddenly realized something.
It was precisely because of her rising fame that Shen Yu sought her out, believing that she could save Shen Yu.
Looking back, she had escaped being disliked by everyone, and various adoptive fathers suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
She came up with a chilling question.
Like a domino effect triggered by related events, it's like a pre-written script, now just playing out in her life.
But she quickly dismissed the idea. Most likely, the task given by the system was just a hint to guide her to survive in this world.
This world holds too many mysteries, such as what kind of person Shen Yu really is, and why her body is used so recklessly by transmigrators.
She was so eager to know everything as soon as possible.
When Shen Chaohuai returned from being humiliated by Gu Xing, he couldn't wait to find someone to turn against him.
Just then, a tall, straight figure stood in front of the courtyard of the Shen family villa, and the anger in my heart finally dissipated a little.
Su Qi was actually standing at the door to welcome him home.
Shen Chaohuai was touched: "Why are you waiting for me here?"
He leaned closer to Su Qi, but Su Qi dodged him.
She sat up straight, her tone firm: "I found the entrance to the secret room. The one locked inside is indeed the youngest daughter of the Shen family, Shen Yu."
He coughed lightly, looking a little flustered, and put his hands in his pockets. It turned out that they were waiting for him to come home because of something important.
"Did you hear what I said?"
"Huh?" Shen Chaohuai was taken aback, which was rare.
"I said I wanted to rescue her and then send her away immediately."
Shen Chaohuai gave a faint "hmm," and it took him a long time to react: "What? You're going to send her away directly?"
Are you acting out of pure kindness or are you out of your mind again?
Shen Chaohuai suddenly seemed a little flustered. He couldn't explain the source of his unease, but he felt that Su Qi's decision was too hasty.
"Have you considered whether Shen Yu is a good person or a bad person, and whether he is helping us or the Shen family?"
"If she has ulterior motives or ulterior motives, you and I..."
Su Qi didn't expect him to refuse, because Shen Chaohuai never questioned her actions.
She questioned him directly: "No matter who she is, do you think that arbitrarily disposing of someone and throwing her into that dark and gloomy place is the right thing to do?"
Su Qi suddenly understood Shen Chaohuai a little: "Oh, I almost forgot, you used the same methods Shen Tiancheng used on me to deal with Shen Tiancheng. There's really nothing you wouldn't do."
Shen Chaohuai frowned, looking at her incredulously: "Su Qi! One thing at a time! I just can't stand how he treats you, it has nothing to do with this!"
"No relation? Look at yourself now, how are you any different from someone like Shen Tiancheng?"
Shen Chaohuai hesitated, his body trembling slightly: "So, this is how you've always seen me."
"Right."
Shen Chaohuai sneered.
"What's the difference between me and the villains in those scripts?"
"The one who manipulates this world and plays with people's hearts is only me."
He knew that if he didn't do this, Su Qi would still be suppressed by the Shen family and would never have a chance to turn the tables.
Unfortunately, he never explained it, and she didn't understand his good intentions.
Su Qi stood up: "I'm here to inform you that I will definitely send this person out of the Shen family."
She turned around, her tone somewhat harsh: "From now on, I will no longer need to consult you on my decisions."
Shen Chaohuai tried to calm himself down: "What you're doing is too direct. What if the consequences are unbearable? There are safety risks involved."
"I don't care about any safety hazards, I just want to do things that don't go against my conscience."
He was somewhat puzzled by her: "You never used to do things that were meaningless to you."
Su Qi replied, "That's true now too."
She smiled and said, "I know that once this matter is resolved, it will bring me immense benefits. Is this answer satisfactory, Young Master Shen?"
Shen Chaohuai nodded slightly, not out of approval, but more like a forced compromise.
He slowly approached her, and she did not flinch, but instead looked at him with a defiant gaze.
Similarly, a shadow fell over his eyes.
In a very short time, the two men simultaneously raised their guns at each other.
He was disappointed and saddened, probably because he didn't expect the two of them to do the same thing, while she was surprised and flustered.
"Shoot! Why aren't you moving? Kill me, and everything here will be yours. I won't make decisions for you anymore." His voice was trembling with tears.
The next second, two bursts of gunfire rang out simultaneously, merging and overlapping.
The two opened their eyes at the same time and realized that neither of them had been shot.
She was betting he wouldn't fire, while he was betting her gun was unloaded; and they both guessed wrong.
In fact, he fired a shot, but the gun was empty, while she fired a shot, but deliberately missed.
The moonlight swayed under the trees, and she vaguely saw a familiar scene in the person under the moonlight.
Su Qi lowered her eyes, momentarily lost in thought. Fragments of past memories flooded her mind, but no matter what she did, she couldn't piece together a complete picture.
But her sixth sense told her that she couldn't possibly actually lay a hand on Shen Chaohuai.
Shen Chaohuai was the first to put down his pistol, ultimately softening his heart.
"I have killed countless people in my life, but I dare not touch anything related to you."
Su Qi snapped out of his daze and fastened the gun to his belt.
She didn't say anything, and turned to leave.
Shen Chaohuai squatted by the waterside pavilion, clutching his chest, his heart aching slightly.
As she walked upstairs, she thought about many things.
Perhaps he just didn't know how to express it to her, and his concerns were valid.
Out of the best interests of all, she did not want to rescue Shen Yu so directly, but wanted to come up with a more comprehensive approach.
"The plan is on hold."
[But Master, Shen Tiancheng has been given the opportunity to act freely, and time doesn't allow you to consider this any longer.]
"It will be soon, in the next few days."
She was wiping the vase in the room when she suddenly remembered the blue and white porcelain vase she had photographed. Looking at the picture on her phone, her mind started to wander.
Just as he was about to think about his next plan, Xu Qiyuan suddenly called.
"Honey, our company is having a party tomorrow, and we'd like to invite you."
"I'm not an employee of your company, what am I doing here?"
Xu Qiyuan awkwardly touched the tip of his nose, and Xu Xiaowan suddenly snatched the phone: "Never mind, never mind, you can't explain it clearly, let me explain."
"I want to invite you to come and play with me." Xu Xiaowan suddenly covered her mouth and whispered in a secluded place, "You don't know yet, do you? Shu Yu has gone back to our company."
"What?" Su Qi asked, confused. "Weren't they already kicked out?"
"That guy surnamed Zheng said he was sending someone over and asked me to take care of her, and guess what? The person he sent was this Shu Yu, and she actually managed to get that guy surnamed Zheng to help her!"
“My dad is just a low-level director in the industry. He wouldn’t dare to argue with that nouveau riche from the Zheng family, so he had no choice but to accept him.”
“Shen Chaohuai didn’t want her, but she’s shamelessly become my manager.”
"Alright, she's here. I'll hang up now. You absolutely have to come tomorrow! I'll make sure she can't hold her head up high!"
