When the two of them arrived at the restaurant, Jiang Zhirou was just about to leave.
Chen Yixia suddenly grabbed her.
"Zhirou, are you free recently?"
Under Jiang Zhirou's confused gaze, Chen Yixia continued.
"I want to go on a trip next week, but I'm not very familiar with this place. If you're willing, could you accompany me?"
"Sure."
Jiang Zhirou answered without hesitation.
Now that she had returned here, there was no need for her to be as hasty as she was in the imperial capital, constantly worrying about her identity being exposed.
She didn't know why, but in the past few days, she always felt stuffy in her chest, as if she had forgotten something. This feeling made her very uncomfortable.
It would be good to go on a trip. Maybe this strange feeling would disappear after she came back.
"Do you have any places you want to go?"
Jiang Zhirou asked her.
Chen Yixia shook her head. "I don't have any particular place in mind. I just thought that since I'm here, I should have some fun before going back."
Jiang Zhirou was amused by her words. She reached out and patted her on the shoulder. "Okay, leave it to me. You just need to enjoy yourself."
However, she couldn't use the identity of Chen Qingmian anymore. She had to use her original identity.
But... back then, Jiang Yuezhong had registered her as dead. She wondered if she could still use the identity of Jiang Zhirou...
Thinking of this, Jiang Zhirou's gaze fell on Uncle Shen beside her.
"Uncle Shen, can I still use my ID?"
The man knew what she meant. He nodded at her and gave her a reassuring look. "Don't worry, Miss Zhirou. The Third Master has already taken care of your ID."
Jiang Zhirou was a little surprised, but it was also expected.
Si Moshen always worked very efficiently. Otherwise, the Si Corporation wouldn't have reached new heights under his leadership.
In the next few days, Jiang Zhirou had been preparing for the trip.
Si Moshen frowned when he saw the two 30 - inch suitcases spread out on the floor.
"You don't need to bring so many things. You can buy whatever you want when you get to your destination."
Her tiny figure couldn't carry such big suitcases.
And there were two of them.
Seeing that she showed no sign of stopping, Si Moshen continued.
"Didn't I ask Uncle Shen to give you the supplementary card?"
Jiang Zhirou was squatting on the ground. She stopped what she was doing and looked up at him.
"Si Laosan, you can't spend money like this. These things can still be used. Why do we need to buy new ones? Besides, what if someone steals your supplementary card when I'm carrying it?"
"No one in Country A dares to steal my things."
Si Moshen's words were a bit too arrogant and confident.
But it was indeed the truth, and Jiang Zhirou couldn't refute it.
Si Moshen's cards all had the special gilded logo of the Si Corporation. No one would be so blind as to steal his things.
After all, even if they stole it, they had nowhere to spend it, and no one would dare to accept it.
"Stop packing. If you bring so many things, I'll arrange two bodyguards for you."
"Bodyguards or the supplementary card. You choose one."
Si Moshen knew her well. He knew that what she hated most was being followed by bodyguards.
In Jiang Zhirou's words, it would feel like being spied on, and she didn't like it.
Sure enough, the next second, Jiang Zhirou stood up and gave Si Moshen a disdainful look. "Where's the card?"
Si Moshen looked at her with a smile in his eyes. His voice was very soft. "I'll ask Uncle Shen to bring it to you later."
After a pause, the smile on his face faded a bit. He asked tentatively.
"Really not letting me go with you?"
Jiang Zhirou sighed. "I actually want you to go with us."
With Si Moshen around, traveling would be much more convenient.
"But you've always been so fierce to Chen Yixia. She finally got a holiday and got away from you. If you go with us, can she have a good time?"
Si Moshen frowned. When had he been fierce to Chen Yixia?
Moreover, whether Chen Yixia was happy or not didn't matter to him at all.
He was just worried about Jiang Zhirou.
But since she had said so, there was no way she would let him go with them.
Si Moshen gave a few more worried instructions.
"Remember to call me if there's anything. My phone is on 24 hours a day. Don't worry about disturbing me. Even if you don't call me, I'll probably be working."
Hearing his words, Jiang Zhirou's mind involuntarily flashed back to what she had said yesterday. Her face became a bit serious.
"Si Laosan, don't work so hard anymore. No one can threaten you now. You've done a great job. Let the past go. What would I do if something happened to you suddenly?"
"I don't want to lose my loved ones again..."
Jiang Zhirou's voice became smaller and smaller. In the end, it was almost inaudible.
A strange emotion flashed through Si Moshen's eyes quickly.
He reached out and gently rubbed Jiang Zhirou's head. "It won't happen. Don't think too much."
"Have a good time, Zhirou."
Jiang Zhirou met Si Moshen's gaze. She always felt that he seemed to want to say something, but he just gave an instruction and then walked out of the bedroom.
...
At the same time, in the imperial capital.
In the top - floor office of Ming'an Group.
Tan Si stood beside Chen Yu'an and reported what had happened in the restaurant that day.
"Sir, we've found out. The person who drugged the young lady that day was the male college student who had just graduated and was beside Wen Yuxuan. Now he has just joined the new entertainment company founded by Mr. Chi."
Chen Yu'an's face darkened slightly. He put out the cigarette in his hand and put it into the ashtray beside him.
Apart from him, only the Wen family had that kind of drug. In fact, he didn't even need to investigate to know that it must be Wen Yuxuan's doing.
He also knew the male college student who followed her.
When Qingmian first entered the school, Chen Yu'an had seen him once.
Sometimes, between men, just one look was enough to know what the other person was thinking.
He could tell at a glance that Shu Yi had feelings for Qingmian.
However, at that time, Shu Yi didn't seem to have any malicious intentions.
Now that he had been with Wen Yuxuan for a long time, he had picked up some dirty and underhanded things.
It was disgusting.
"Did you just say that the person joined Chi Yu's new company?"
Chen Yu'an suddenly asked.
Tan Si quickly responded. "Yes, sir."
Only then did Chen Yu'an notice that Chi Yu didn't seem to be investigating the matter of Qingmian being drugged that day at all.
This wasn't like him.
When Qingmian left his place that day, the effect of the drug hadn't completely worn off. It was obvious that something was wrong.
And Chi Yu was a person who paid attention to details. There was no reason for him not to notice Qingmian's abnormality.
Chen Yu'an frowned. He always felt that something was not quite right.
He stared deeply for a long time before he finally said, "Go to Yuhaiwan tonight."
Regarding the matter of Qingmian being drugged, he wanted to see how Chi Yu would handle it.
Or rather, he wanted to see if he would handle it at all.
