Chapter 110: Getting the key so easily
Su Qi smiled in response, but the warm breath from his breath tickled the back of her ear, so she pushed him away.
But she discovered that she couldn't push it at all.
She said awkwardly, "With all the stuff the Shen family has, even if you break the house down, it won't be worth much."
"I didn't come back to dig for treasure."
Shen Chaohuai waved his hand, signaling the steward to leave with the servants.
He told Su Qi to go to the flower room, which was conveniently away from the windows of Shen Tiancheng and Zhao Meihua's room.
"Tell me, what's the reason?"
Su Qi said, "I want to come back and stay for a while."
Shen Chaohuai was somewhat surprised: "You're not kidding? Doesn't this place leave you with any psychological trauma?"
Su Qi didn't dare to tell the truth; she didn't know whether she should tell Shen Chaohuai about receiving the anonymous message.
Since Shen Chaohuai has taken control of the Shen family, there's no reason he wouldn't know what secrets lie beneath the Shen family villa, right?
However, Shen Chaohuai keenly knew that this wasn't the reason, and pressed on relentlessly: "You'd better tell the truth."
"Su Qi, is it impossible for you to trust me?"
"I'm sorry, I can't trust you." Su Qi looked at him. "I believe this must be related to you."
Su Qi was determined to go all out. Since Shen Chaohuai was not a simple person, it was impossible for him to completely distance himself from this matter.
A ruthless demon, even if he's always smiling, could never become an ally on the same side.
Su Qi opened the anonymous text message, prepared to go all out and risk a complete falling out with him.
She once again speculated about him based on her own assumptions; in truth, she couldn't control her suspicious nature.
Upon seeing the anonymous message and the address it indicated, Shen Chaohuai immediately realized that she had used the Empire's dismantling technology.
But Shen Chaohuai didn't say it outright; he pretended not to know just to make her lower her guard against him.
"You mean, the address from which this message was sent is directly below Shen Tiancheng and Zhao Meihua's room?"
Because he didn't reveal much about what happened, Su Qi lowered her guard a little.
Su Qi replied: "Can you understand it?"
Shen Chaohuai jokingly replied, "It's just a treasure map, what's so hard to understand?"
Su Qi: "Yes, I was overthinking it."
“However, I think that since you have already taken control of the Shen family, there is no reason why you don’t know what secrets lie beneath, and there is no reason why you never tell me.”
Shen Chaohuai then understood the reason for her distrust: concealment is never a good remedy for developing a relationship.
"Yes, I know, but I haven't been able to find the entrance. Besides, nothing has ever happened below the villa. I didn't know I could send you an address, which means there are people down there."
This was indeed unexpected for Shen Chaohuai. He had discovered the secret room when he took control of the Shen family, but no matter how much he tortured Shen Tiancheng, Shen Chaohuai never told him where the entrance was.
If there hadn't been no movement below, Shen Chaohuai would have dug three feet into the ground to expose the Shen family's secret.
After a few seconds of silence, Shen Chaohuai put his hands on his hips and said, "You could have just said what the reason was earlier. Why did you have to say you wanted to come home and live here?"
“I do want to come back and live here, so it will be easier to investigate.” Su Qi shrugged.
Helpless, he compromised, saying, "You can stay however you like, but the key is that Shen Tiancheng and Zhao Meihua will never like you. They are even less likely to tell you secrets that even I can't find out."
Su Qi understood what he meant: "So, unless I can gain the trust of these two people?"
Shen Chaohuai was speechless: "It seems you're determined to investigate."
"I have a feeling that this is the last straw that will bring down the Shen family."
"Since the entrance to the secret room cannot be found anywhere, and Shen Tiancheng does not allow anyone to enter the room at will, there is only one possibility: the entrance is inside the room."
Shen Chaohuai was not surprised to hear this analysis. He had started his investigation in the same way a long time ago, but unfortunately, he still came up empty-handed.
Su Qi cannot unilaterally terminate the adoption agreement, but this matter may allow her to take the path of forcibly terminating the agreement.
Shen Chaohuai gently patted her shoulder, and finally took a key from the pouch at his waist and handed it to her: "The key to their room. Remember to lock it every time you go in and out. I don't want them to run out and go crazy, making all my years of planning and hard work go to waste."
Su Qi took the key and finally smiled: "I knew it. Young Master Shen is all talk and no action, just a paper tiger."
"Again you say I'm a paper tiger?"
Shen Chaohuai was furious.
"Am I a paper tiger?"
"That was clearly..."
Shen Chaohuai paused, watching Su Qi's retreating figure as she entered the villa.
He just couldn't bring himself to be mean to her.
Su Qi returned to her room, closed the door, and looked at the familiar furnishings and the neatly tidied room, falling into deep thought.
Aunt Wang knocked on the door, saying it was her routine cleaning.
"Miss, you don't know yet, do you? The young master instructed that your room must be clean and tidy."
"Of all the rooms in the villa, only Miss's room needs to be cleaned every day."
Su Qi made room for Wang Ma to clean: "Really?"
"Miss doesn't believe me?"
She didn't know why, it was as if her genes made her lose her basic trust in people.
Even though she knew countless times that Shen Chaohuai would not hurt her.
I had to repeatedly confirm whether he was trustworthy.
Lynn called her, asking her to come back to the company to shoot promotional photos for her endorsement: "Where did you go? I came to pick you up but you weren't home."
"Come to the Shen family to pick me up."
"Okay, fine," Lynn said, rambling on as if she had just thought of something. "You don't have any gigs lately, so take a good rest after you finish filming the endorsement."
"By the way, I'm going on vacation for a few months, and I won't be taking any gigs for you during that time."
Su Qi sighed, it was too noisy, so irritating: "Yes, yes, Miss Lynn."
New Classics Media.
Xie Tian looked at the artist agency contract that Qingshan Film and Television had signed with Shen Chaohuai and couldn't believe it: "Shen Chaohuai! Are you crazy! You just appeared on a variety show once and you think you can become a star?"
"Don't forget, you're still the big boss yourself!"
"Which comes first, this or being a celebrity?"
Shen Chaohuai didn't take it seriously: "Both sides are important. Earning two salaries and building connections, isn't that good?"
Xie Tian's lips twitched: "When we started working together, we never said that the boss had to sell his skills to support the company. If you don't want to continue, we can dissolve the company. Why bother?"
To everyone's surprise, the entire company rushed over and burst into tears.
"Waaah! Please, Young Master Shen, have mercy! If you disband us, we'll all be unemployed!"
"Please! We all have elderly parents to support and young children to raise, and we all have mortgages and car loans to pay. We can't afford to pay this!"
It seems that Shen Chaohuai's plan to support his company through performing arts is unstoppable.
Xie Tian looked at him helplessly: "Don't you still have the Shen family's businesses? You're not happy with inheriting the family business, so you insist on showing your face in public."
Who is your agent?
"Xu Qiyuan will arrange it for me," Shen Chaohuai said calmly.
He handled official business efficiently while calmly resolving the questions raised by a group of people.
Xie Tian muttered under his breath, "Ha, let's see if you can still find time to chase after your goddess."
"A master of time management."
