I just got divorced, and the female CEO is already clinging to me.

Chapter 44 Unexpected

Shen Qingrou slammed on the brakes and turned to look at Ye Cheng, who was sitting in the back seat, in surprise.

"how do you know?"

Ye Cheng said, "The murderer clearly had the opportunity to kill Aunt Ge, but deliberately only scratched her face and blinded her eyes, just to humiliate Xu Menghao."

This will cause him to live a life of pain and guilt.

This is far more satisfying than killing someone to vent one's anger.

However, this matter has too great an impact. If the murderer goes unpunished, it will be detrimental to the reputation of the entire Hedong City.

Therefore, the real mastermind behind the murder had to find someone to take the blame.

The reason Aunt Ge's eyes were blinded was to prevent her from identifying the real murderer.

Shen Qingrou gave Ye Cheng a strange look: "It's a shame you don't go into writing novels."

The reasoning is brilliant, but who would believe it?

Ye Cheng said seriously, "Since we've encountered this, we should investigate it."

Can you find information about the arrested murderer?

Shen Qingrou glared at him angrily: "Do you have a death wish?"

Understand your own identity; you are just an ordinary person who knows how to do business.

No, you're not even an ordinary person; you're disabled.

He can't even walk properly, yet he's thinking about meddling in other people's business.

Do you think you're Sherlock Holmes?

When it comes to political feuds, you'd better stay out of it!

Ye Chengdao: "So, you also think it's revenge between colleagues?"

Shen Qingrou was getting a little frustrated: "What makes you think it's revenge between colleagues?"

Ye Cheng said logically, "Didn't you say that this is a feud between officials?"

Shen Qingrou was speechless: "Fine, whatever you want, think what you want."

Anyway, that's not what I meant.

I will never give you the chance to get involved in this kind of thing.

Ye Cheng smiled enigmatically: "It's probably too late for you to say all this now."

Shen Qingrou felt her authority challenged, her eyebrows furrowed, and her face turned icy: "What, are you trying to rebel!"

Ye Cheng said innocently, "How could I dare? You might as well look in the rearview mirror."

Shen Qingrou glanced at it suspiciously, but even with her vigilance, she couldn't find anything unusual.

"Don't beat around the bush, just say what you want to say."

Ye Cheng pointed out, "There's a black Japanese car to your left rear. When you braked suddenly, that car also braked suddenly and stopped on the side of the road."

Shen Qingrou glanced at the rearview mirror and slowly started the car. As a result, the black Japanese car that Ye Cheng had mentioned also followed.

"Damn it!" Shen Qingrou couldn't help but curse.

Ye Cheng reassured him, "Don't worry, they might just be trying to find out what's going on with us."

Shen Qingrou asked, "What kind of people do you think they are?"

Ye Cheng shook his head: "How could a disabled person like me possibly understand the various forces in Hedong City? I'll have to ask you for advice."

Shen Qingrou said irritably, "You troublemaker, I shouldn't have brought you out!"

Ye Cheng said innocently, "Who knew that the seemingly calm Hedong City was actually rife with undercurrents?"

I'll make a phone call."

Shen Qingrou asked curiously, "Who are you going to call? Do you have some special connections in Hedong City?"

“I’m just a child who grew up in an orphanage. What special relationship could I possibly have? You are my greatest support.”

The call was answered before we could even finish speaking: "Hey, Xiao Yezi, is there anything else?"

Ge Min's voice came from Ye Cheng's phone.

Shen Qingrou suddenly realized, but she still didn't understand why Ye Cheng was calling Ge Min.

Ye Cheng said, "Aunt Ge, we were followed as soon as we left your house."

For your safety, please don't tell anyone that your eyes have been cured.

Ge Min was startled: "You mean, someone has been watching my house all along?"

Ye Cheng said, "We dare not alert them, and we don't know their identities for the time being. In short, you should try to maintain your previous lifestyle, and there will be no danger."

Ge Min said in a panic, "Can I tell Lao Xu about this and ask him to investigate it secretly?"

Once bitten by a snake, twice shy; having experienced a painful ordeal, she became extremely wary of everything.

Ye Chengdao said, "It's not that I don't believe in District Chief Xu's abilities, but he is very likely living under someone else's surveillance."

The waters of Hedong City are very deep, deeper than I had ever expected.

Doing nothing now is actually the safest thing to do.

Ge Min was in a state of confusion: "Can I tell Lao Xu about this, so that he can be on guard?"

Ye Chengdao said, "It's possible, but it's best not to let District Chief Ge act rashly."

Please feel free to contact me anytime if you need anything.

Ge Min, completely flustered, said, "Okay, okay, thank you for your trouble."

Ye Cheng hung up the phone, and Shen Qingrou snorted coldly, mocking, "What are you bragging about, you disabled person? You think you can contact me anytime? Who do you think you are!"

They can't even handle their own affairs, yet they have the leisure to meddle in other people's business.

"Aren't you afraid that Xu Menghao will suspect you have ulterior motives if you say that to Aunt Ge?"

Ye Cheng said calmly, "It's good that he suspects me. As long as he becomes suspicious, he will try to contact me."

I have no bad intentions, and besides, I cured Aunt Ge's eyes, and even the scars on her face will disappear after 49 days.

He received real benefits; I don't believe he's someone who can't distinguish right from wrong.

Seeing that Ye Cheng's words made sense, Shen Qingrou stopped worrying about it and instead pointed behind her: "What about the people who are following us?"

Ye Cheng didn't take these people seriously at all: "Let them come along. We haven't had dinner alone together yet. How about we find a restaurant for a candlelight dinner?"

Shen Qingrou rolled her eyes at Ye Cheng: "You have a big heart, you still have the mood to eat."

Shouldn't we try to shake them off?

Ye Cheng warned, "It's only when they know we've discovered them that we're in danger."

"You're a respectable figure in Hedong City; they wouldn't dare to mess with you without reason."

Shen Qingrou said speechlessly, "You overestimate me. I'm just a nobody in front of those big shots."

"If I infringe upon the interests of certain people, even Old Man Shen might not be able to protect me."

Ye Cheng became interested: "Then I need to find out about the distribution of power in Hedong City."

"Since we're in the car anyway, why don't you tell me about it?"

Shen Qingrou felt it was necessary to speak up, lest Ye Cheng act recklessly and do something lawless.

"I don't need to elaborate on the three major forces in the business world, do I?"

However, above these three major forces, there is another mysterious power.

I don't know if you've ever heard of the Gray Building.

"The Gray Building?" Ye Cheng shook his head. "Never heard of it."

Shen Qingrou said, "North of the train station, there is an ancient building. Although it is only nine stories high, it is the most mysterious place in Hedong City."

Most people don't even have the chance to get close to that place.

Even Old Man Shen only received a regular membership card.

Moreover, this card can only be used by the cardholder, and only one non-member is allowed to enter at a time.

It is said that any outside force that wants to establish a foothold in Hedong City must first pay homage to the local authorities.

Only with the owner of the Gray Building's permission can one do business in Hedong City.

Upon hearing this, Ye Cheng couldn't help but ask, "Do those underground forces also listen to Gray Tower?"
