Chapter 265 When You Are a Fool
, I'll go back to my room first."As soon as he turned around, Bo Jingzhou hugged her waist and pulled her back into his arms, "I won't be going to the club. My wife isn't feeling well, I'll send her b...Shen Wanci looked up.
This street is located behind Influencer Street. The shops lining the street don't sell anything particularly attractive, so there are few pedestrians. Even with such a wide street, these two people chose to block her path. It's impossible they weren't coming for her.
She had been holding her breath all day, and finally it slowly eased. "Who are you"
"Miss Shen, our master would like to see you."
Thanks to that shameless man, now whenever she hears the word "Mr.," she automatically pictures his face: "I don't know you guys, and I have no idea who this 'Mr.' you're talking about is."
She finished speaking and turned to leave.
The man was about to pull her over, but a group of tourists came by, estimated to be around ten or so people. He retracted his hand and smiled apologetically: "Sorry, I didn't express myself clearly. It's Miss Su who asked us to invite you. She said that she and your mother-in-law are old friends. Last night at the night market, she saw someone who looked a bit like you, but they were in a hurry and worried about making a mistake. Later, her husband asked someone to check, confirmed your identity, and now we're here to invite you."
Shen Wanci looked like a simple and innocent person. Hearing the name of her acquaintance, her eyes lit up: "You know Aunt Su"
"We're just doing Miss Su a favor."
"That..."
Shen Wanci was still a little hesitant, but the other party saw that she was easy to persuade and began to frantically say how much Miss Su had missed her over the years. She knew about her mother's passing and wished she could take her in and raise her by her side, but she was just powerless.
If Shen Wanci didn't know that she and the half-elderly Ms. Su had only met a few times, and besides polite greetings, they hadn't even spoken much, hearing this "sincere" statement would have made her truly believe their lies.
She took out her phone and confirmed the message she had received at noon, then said: “Then I'll go see Aunt Su. I've missed her after all these years.”
The car stopped not far away, Shen Wanci followed them into the car, "Auntie Su has been in City A all these years"
"Yes."
“No wonder I haven't seen her again since then. Have you guys been with Aunt Su all this time” Shen Wanci acted like a curious, naive country bumpkin who had never seen the world. She even touched the leather seats of the car when she got in, with an air of envy and longing. “Did Aunt Su find me for something”
He saw the envy in her eyes and felt contempt.
She is a vain woman who craves climbing high and associating with the powerful. She blindly follows others' words without realizing how dangerous the path she chooses is, far more terrifying than a dragon's lair or a tiger's den.
Just thinking about it, he, a grown man, felt his heart pounding and short of breath.
Isn't she the wife of Mr. Bao's family How come she can't even make it to the stage No wonder she was dumped.
However, because of this, his guard against Shen Wanci relaxed a bit.
Shen Wanci was still immersed in the shock of Liu Laoma's visit to the Grand View Garden, completely missing the disdain in his eyes: "Su Auntie is so wealthy in City A, then why did she go to Kyoto back then I heard my mom say that she wanted to settle down in Kyoto."
That person already disliked her foolish appearance. Being bombarded with question after question made him want to pull his hair out. But now they were still on the influencer street, surrounded by people, so he couldn't expose himself or let her cause a big commotion. So he could only suppress his annoyance and answer her questions impatiently.
Shen Wanci asked questions that didn't require much thinking and didn't involve any secrets. For example, she asked about how old Aunt Su was this year, what she liked, and if they should buy some gifts for their meeting.
At first, he could still muster some energy, but later on, he grew too tired and simply relied on instinct to answer.
Shen Wanci: "Back then, my mother hurriedly gave the painting to Aunt Su, and not long after, something happened. Was her death really because of that painting"
"You said your mother returned the painting to Miss Su..."
Halfway through his sentence, he was suddenly shoved by the man in the driver's seat. The other man glanced at him and said, "Focus on helping me with directions. Are you going to talk so much in front of your master"
Upon hearing the word "Mr.", the man instantly fell silent, breaking out in a cold sweat.
He looked back at Shen Wanci, suspecting she was intentionally leading him on.
But the woman in the backseat looked innocent and naive, "You better watch the road. Let's talk after the car stops."
Well, it's not just cliché, it's downright stupid. You can't even hear the subtext in other people's words What's that thing on your chest Covered in diamonds is bad enough, but a duck So tacky and ugly, completely lacking in taste.
The car fell silent. Shen Wanci looked out the window, trying to memorize the road. She glanced down at her phone—no signal.
Once they left the city, the car drove towards the suburbs. At first, they could still see other cars, but later on, it was a long stretch of road before they encountered another one.
After passing a sign, Shen Wanci narrowed her eyes: “Are we heading in the direction of Qiong Yang Where are we”
The person in front had their phone ring. They glanced at the caller ID, immediately put on their earphones and answered the call. After a few "umms" and "aahs," they hung up, revealing nothing about the conversation throughout the entire process.
The man turned his head with a sullen expression: "I thought you were an idiot, so you're setting me up."
He reached out and directly pulled the hideous duck from Shen Wanci's chest. After examining it, he sure enough found a listening device and pinhole camera hidden among those dazzling diamonds.
"I was going to try a gentler approach, but since you don't know what's good for you, don't blame us rough men for being harsh," he said, reaching out to grab Shen Wanci's hair, but she dodged him.
The driver said, "Speed up, there seems to be a car coming."
“This woman hired this helper, damn it, she's a pro. She followed us all the way on this remote path and didn't get noticed. If it weren't for Mr.'s vigilance, we would have brought trouble back.”
The plan failed, and the people behind it disappeared.
Shen Wanci decisively used her bag strap to strangle the driver's neck, just to give a warning to the people behind. The man beside her didn't know where he got a handkerchief from and covered her face with it.
The carriage was cramped, she had nowhere to escape, and the other party was prepared. Shen Wanci was covered up, even though she had held her breath in anticipation, she still smelled a pungent odor and soon fainted.
Before she passed out, she saw a black car drift sharply and block the path of her vehicle.
The car door opened, and a tall and imposing figure stepped out of the car, walking toward this side. pointed at the minute hand on his watch: "Ten minutes have passed. It's time to honor our bet. Let's go eat."Shen Wanci glared at him with displeasure, raising her hand that was still being held: "I'...
