Chapter 155: Too Dirty

ficant minor issue suddenly magnifies countless times over. Internal strife ensues, hearts are unsettled, and at this point, allowing media involvement... the consequences are unimaginable!" Let me kn..."What are you doing here" In a room inside the Shen family's large mansion, Shen Yi was rummaging through boxes and drawers. Xia, the butler, stood at the doorway, holding a tray, and gave Shen Yi a cold look for a moment before speaking up to stop him.

A sudden noise startled Shen Yi. The next second, she turned her head and looked over, "Ah~ it's you."

Xia Guanjia's gray eyebrows twitched imperceptibly, his gaze dropping inch by inch to settle on the book in Shen Yi Shou's hand: "What do you have in your hands"

"Oh, you're talking about this Isn't this just Wei Ming Miss's class directory"

"What are you doing with that"

"Of course..." Shen Yi was about to explain, when another voice called out to him: "Shen Yi, hurry up, the brothers are waiting for you." He looked up and saw Shen Er walking towards him and Xia Guanjia.

Shen Yi wasn't stupid, his brothers hadn't made any appointments with him, so what could possibly be the matter It was Shen Er who intentionally interrupted him and Xia Guanjia... Thinking about it for a moment, he understood, "Oh," he replied, "Xia Guanjia, I have something else to do, let's talk later."

For decades, Xia Guanjia's face had been rigid and serious. Now, a look of thoughtfulness appeared on it, his dim eyes flickering: "Wei Ming's class directory... What does he want this for"

With suspicion in his mind, Xia the butler turned and strode away. Instead of chasing after Shen Yi's figure to get clarification, he hurried towards his own bedroom in the manor.

Entering his own bedroom, he shut the door with a click and furrowed his brows. After a moment of contemplation, he quickly reached for his phone and dialed a number he hadn't called in ages.

"Yo, I wonder who's calling. Old Summer Butler, what brings you to call" The voice on the other end of the phone was lazy and laced with a hint of disdain for this Summer Butler.

Xia, the housekeeper's brows furrowed tightly. He didn't care about the sarcasm and disdain in the other person's voice over the phone. He spoke hurriedly: "Just now, Shen entered the storage room and took Wei Ming's class directory. It's not right at all. You have to help me and see what he's trying to do."

"Hmph~ Old Xia, you know what's going on. Shen Yi is one of his people. A bodyguard like Shen Yi wouldn't come looking for our old class roster for no reason. The only reason he would do this is that his boss gave him a new mission."

At this moment, Xia Guanjia's old face was already contorted with barely suppressed rage. He roared into the phone, his voice choked with anger: "Wei Ming is dead!"

Vi Ming is dead, ashes to ashes, dust to dust!

What on earth are we going to do with the year book!

"Alright, Old Summer, I'll go check it out for you. See what your master is up to." As he spoke, the voice on the other end suddenly chuckled: "But let me ask you, Old Summer, isn't this considered betraying your master"

Who would have a slave tailing and investigating their master

Summer Butler's face turned dark, and he grumbled in a gruff voice: "Mind your own business. Let me tell you, Lu Mingchu, no one is cleaner than anyone else, their backside is covered in donkey dung eggs. You have ulterior motives, while I, I am only doing this for my poor daughter who passed away early."

Lu Mingchu chuckled softly into the phone, unable to tell what he was laughing at. But in his eyes, there was a clear contempt and disdain for Xia's housekeeper... Saying it nicely, all for his poor deceased daughter. But behind the scenes, what he did was ten times, a hundred times more terrifying than what his precious daughter had suffered!

However, that's none of his business.

There are many people in the world who need help. Is it possible for him to show sympathy and lend a helping hand to each and every one of them

Blame it all on that unfortunate wretch named Jian, how could he possibly have met Xia Wei Ming, this venomous snake in human skin!

"Old Summer, you don't need to provoke me. I do things that are beneficial to me, and I won't do things that aren't."

Xia Guantou narrowed his eyes, having received Lu Mingchu's verbal assurance. He felt slightly reassured, but still needed to stir up emotions: "You understand, you understand the pain of a white-haired person sending a black-haired person off. Mingchu, you should be able to empathize with my grief over losing my beloved daughter. The feeling of losing someone or something important...

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, you shouldn't have been surnamed Lu. You should have shone brightly...

"Shut up!" Lu Mingchu gritted his teeth on the phone, "Summer old man, do you think you're someone Do you think you, a dog raised by the Shen family, can point fingers at me!"

What's my last name, what does it have to do with you!

My last name It doesn't matter! Whatever it is, I shine brightly! As for what your last name is, it has nothing to do with me!

"Bang!"

Lu Ming slammed his phone onto the desk, his eyes dark with fury!

That face, no matter how you look at it, seems a bit familiar. On his desk, there was an overturned photo frame. Lu Mingchu lifted the frame, and the picture inside was shockingly clear!

"Shen Xiujin!" He gritted his teeth, the resentment in his eyes almost overflowing. With a heavy thud, his fist slammed onto the golden nanmu desk, and a chilling aura rose steadily, forcing out three words from between his clenched molars: "Just wait!"

He suddenly stood up, his height towering over everyone, nearly reaching Shen Xiujin's level. He picked up the car keys from the table and dashed out the door at lightning speed.

……

On the other side, Shen Yi and Shen Er walked side by side: “How did you just appear there”

Shen Yi asked Shen Er, but in reality, he wasn't really asking. Shen Yi truly wanted to know: why did Shen Er suddenly appear there and stop him from telling Xia Guanjia the truth just now.

"Big brother," Shen Er stopped in his tracks and looked directly at Shen Yi, "Are you truly unaware or feigning ignorance Since Boss tasked you with investigating something from three years ago, it must inevitably involve Xia Wei Ming. Xia Guanjia is Xia Wei Ming's father, he can't escape the connection."

Just now... Just now, if I hadn't interrupted you suddenly, Big Brother," Shen Er's face, which had already been resolute, grew even more serious as he stared at Shen Yi in front of him: "You just now, were you trying to make excuses, and subtly tell Butler Xia what Boss meant"

Shen's face changed drastically, his voice trembled with anger as he shouted, "What nonsense are you talking about! Why would I intentionally tell Xia Butler about the Boss wanting to investigate the case from three years ago!"

The moment the words left his lips, a terrifying look of panic flashed across Shen Yise's face. The color drained from his face in an instant... He dared not meet Shen Er's gaze, who was wearing a smug expression of "I told you so!"

Shen Yi gritted his teeth with a "click" ... "Are you trying to get me to talk"

"Big brother, if you truly were just careless and didn't understand the conflict between Summer Butler and this matter before letting it slip, how could I possibly have coaxed the truth out of you with a single sentence

You just said... you said that you intentionally told Xia Guanzhu about Boss's intention to investigate the case three years ago ... You know this is something Xia Guanzhu shouldn't know, right

Big brother, I know you were heartbroken when Miss Wei Ming passed away... but big brother! Even if Miss Wei Ming was still alive, it's impossible for the two of you to be together!

Shen Yimeng's face turned pale: "Stop talking! I have never coveted Miss Wei Ming! Don't talk nonsense anymore!"

"Big brother, you say you don't, then why do you keep targeting Miss Jian"

Shen Yian's face contorted into a menacing grimace: "I just can't stand that woman using her status to do whatever she pleases, wreaking havoc and taking innocent lives. She's cruel and merciless! Good people don't live long, but evil lingers for a thousand years!"

"Enough! Big Brother! The Boss told you to investigate what happened that year, which means the Boss thinks there's something fishy going on… Now you're framing Miss Jian, isn't that a bit too much" Shen Er looked at Shen Yi with some sadness:

"Big brother, I won't say a word about today's events. But you must let go of your prejudice and thoroughly investigate what happened back then."

Shen Yi gave Shen Er a deep look: "I'm not that low! I will do whatever the Boss orders. As for how much I can find out, I don't know."

Three years have passed, and it's hard to investigate what happened back then. Those few hooligans have disappeared without a trace, and only Jian Tong, that woman, might know something. The only place we can possibly start is with Wei Ming Miss's former classmates, who might know something.

……

Shen Yi, according to the class directory, called each person to make an appointment.

In a coffee shop, three or four girls were sitting at a table, along with a man in a suit. That man was Shen Yi.

"Think back carefully, was there anything special that happened Did Xia Wei Ming say anything"

The four girls looked dejected: “No, we really don’t remember.”

Their table was by the window, a semi-enclosed box. Unbeknownst to them, inside this compartment, a tall man with long limbs sat elegantly twirling his coffee cup, yet nonchalantly listening to the conversation in the next room.

Shen Yi pursed his lips and stood up: “Let's do this. Go back and think carefully, if you remember anything, call this phone number.” He pushed a few business cards towards the four girls: “I'll be going now. I've already paid the bill. Take your time.”

Shen Yi walked past the entrance of the cubicle, but he didn't see anyone inside.

Lu Ming's thin lips curled into a slight smirk... Shen Xiujin, why bother

If you know that your heart is moved today, why did you cruelly sever ties in the first place

Lu Mingchu and others He's also a shrewd businessman. As long as he hears the ins and outs, he can guess a lot of things. For example, through Shen Yi's actions, he can guess that Shen Xiujin is in love with Jian Tong.

"I initially thought that the innocent-looking, snake-hearted 'good girl' was your Shen Xiuqin's weakness, but it turns out I was wrong." No wonder...no wonder that 'good girl' died after being humiliated, and Mr. Shen remained indifferent.

"So it seems I was mistaken after all." A light scoff. "Well, well."

Then he took out his phone: "I found it. Your master seems to have fallen truly in love with your enemy who killed your daughter."

Before he could finish his sentence, the sound of things crashing to the floor echoed in his ears.

On the other end of the phone, Summer Butler's hand went limp. She couldn't hold the phone steady and dropped it to the ground. Her pupils dilated, her breathing became ragged, and her lips turned purplish... After a long while, she finally trembled and bent down to pick up the phone from the ground: "Shen Yi is looking into what happened back then."

Xia Guanjia's words were a statement, not a question.

"Heh~" Lu Mingchu couldn't help but gloat, "Whether or not we can find out what happened that year, I don't know. But since you're going to investigate what happened that year, you'll inevitably have to look into what happened these past three years. Old Xia, you better hurry up and wipe clean that old chrysanthemum of yours."

After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

Things that happened three years ago, that means you have to investigate the inside of the prison.

Things here... are pretty dirty!

Xia, the housekeeper, hastily changed his clothes and rushed out.

He knew, at this very moment, that every second counted!

And what he relied on was nothing more than his decades of unwavering care for Shen Xiujin and the trust Shen Xiujin placed in him.

Once trust is broken... Butler Xia didn't dare to imagine what would happen!was still trying to argue, but Jian Tong had already hung up the phone indifferently.She wasn't afraid that the other party wouldn't come.As expected, an hour later,People have arrived.Lao Jin is a mi...
