Seeing the crime scene flashbacks made me the darling of the police station.

Chapter 449: I'm a little curious why she came?
Weiyang Palace.

Su Miaoyi slowly backed away, looking at Jiang Xutong and Shen Yanzhou in front of her.

The two looked at each other.

She felt that sparks were flying between them, crackling and popping.
"What are you doing here?" Jiang Xutong asked.

"I'm curious too! What are you doing here?" Shen Yanzhou said.

Su Miaoyi: "?"

Wait a minute, something's not right. This tone doesn't sound right.

It's not quite what she imagined.

“Why can’t I be here? Is this your home?” Jiang Xutong said.

“I’ll say the same thing back to you. This isn’t your home. You can’t just go wherever you want,” Shen Yanzhou said.

"Has the Shen family gone bankrupt? They've ended up living in a place like this," Jiang Xutong said.

"Did your family go bankrupt? How can you live in a place like this?" Shen Yanzhou said.

“Even if your family goes bankrupt for life, my family will never have any problems,” Jiang Xutong said.

Su Miaoyi looked at her.

Shen Yanzhou chuckled: "Even if your family goes bankrupt for two generations, the Shen family will still be safe and sound."

Su Miaoyi then looked at Shen Yanzhou.

"You're such a sly one. It's been so long, and you're still as bad as ever. If I had known you lived here, I would have preferred to live under a bridge rather than come here," Jiang Xutong said. "What bad luck."

Su Miaoyi looked at Jiang Xutong once again.

Shen Yanzhou chuckled again: "Who's really unlucky here? I was living here perfectly fine, and then you moved in at this time. What happened overseas? Didn't you say back then that you would never come back to China? What's going on?"

Su Miaoyi looked at Shen Yanzhou again, noticing the smile on his face.

She had only ever seen her brother smile like that when he was driven mad with anger.

“What’s it to you? I can come whenever I want. Not only am I here, but I’ll be here forever!” Jiang Xutong said.

“Are you going to stay here? Then I’ll have to be extra careful, since Miss Jiang’s methods have always been quite dirty,” Shen Yanzhou said. “Also, let me remind you, this is China. If you continue to use such unscrupulous methods, you’ll end up in jail sooner or later.”

"I'll say it again, it's none of your business."

“Sister Jiang,” her assistant interrupted her.

Su Miaoyi looked at the woman walking over from the elevator.

She was also holding a few pieces of clothing in her hand.

Upon seeing her assistant, Jiang Xutong seemed to calm down considerably. She immediately fell silent and took a few steps toward her assistant.

"Didn't I tell you I was going to pick up some clothes and I'd be back in a bit? Why did you come down?" the assistant whispered.

Jiang Xutong did not speak.

Seeing that she had no clothes in her hands, the assistant said, "You can go back first, I'll go get them."

Jiang Xutong nodded and went upstairs.

Su Miaoyi looked at Shen Yanzhou.

Shen Yanzhou's expression softened slightly.

The assistant came over: "Excuse me, I was just tidying up and some clothes fell down. They landed on your balcony. A few pieces fell downstairs, and I just went to pick them up."

Su Miaoyi nodded and went into the room to pick up clothes from the balcony: "I only saw these two pieces."

She gave the clothes to her assistant.

The assistant took them: "Just these two. Thank you, thank you for your trouble."

"fine."

The assistant thanked him again and then left.

Su Miaoyi looked at Shen Yanzhou.

Shen Yanzhou said, "Let's go back."

Su Miaoyi didn't say anything, closed both doors, and followed him.

The two got into the car, with Su Miaoyi sitting in the passenger seat, glancing at Shen Yanzhou several times.

"Speak your mind, don't be sneaky," Shen Yanzhou said.

"Are you calmed down?" Su Miaoyi asked. "I'm alright," Shen Yanzhou said. "I didn't lose."

Su Miaoyi pursed her lips.

Not at a disadvantage?

But it seems they didn't gain the upper hand either.

"Who is she? How did you two meet?" Su Miaoyi asked. "Did you meet her during those two years of studying abroad?"

"Mm," Shen Yanzhou responded. "We... had a very good relationship for a while."

Hearing his pause, Su Miaoyi's eyes widened.

She sensed something was wrong.

She wants to eat, eat, eat, eat, eat!
"And then?" Su Miaoyi asked.

She felt that the two of them didn't seem to have a good relationship, but rather that they were enemies.

"Later, because of competing for a project, there was a designer in the company who had a leg problem. We had eaten together before, do you remember?" Shen Yanzhou asked.

Su Miaoyi thought for a moment, then nodded: "I remember."

“I was given a second chance at life, or you could say I traded my life for it,” Shen Yanzhou said. “The outcome of my competition with Jiang Xutong for the project was orchestrated by her father behind the scenes, and she knew about it all along.”

Su Miaoyi was surprised, and her expression turned serious.

“We argued about this later, and she said that in her country, this is a legitimate competitive practice,” Shen Yanzhou said.

"Brother, is the gunshot wound on your body related to her?" Su Miaoyi's expression became even more serious.

Shen Yanzhou suffered a penetrating injury to his left shoulder during his two years abroad.

At the time, only Zhuang Yanzheng knew.

My family only found out after I returned from abroad.

“It has nothing to do with her, it was her father who did it,” Shen Yanzhou said. “They almost killed my designer, my friend. If I don’t hold them accountable, am I even human?”

Su Miaoyi looked at him.

“Your brother is smart. They’re using these dirty tricks to snatch projects, aren’t they?” Shen Yanzhou chuckled. “Then I’ll take what they want. I’ve already taken two, and her dad got furious and hired people to kill me.”

Su Miaoyi didn't say anything, her head throbbing with anger.

Shen Yanzhou said, "Jiang Xutong probably doesn't know that her father hired someone to kill me. She only knows that I stole his family's project, so she's furious. Otherwise, she wouldn't be so angry."

Su Miaoyi remained silent.

Shen Yanzhou looked at her: "Are you angry?"

"I'm so angry," Su Miaoyi said. "I should have known better than to watch her TV series this afternoon."

Shen Yanzhou smiled and said, "So many years have passed. Back then, we were all in our early twenties and acted a bit rashly."

“So many years have passed, and you’re still so angry you look pale,” Su Miaoyi said.

Shen Yanzhou chuckled again: "I'm just really curious why she came to China. She even filmed a TV series. It seems like she's planning to stay for a while. It's a bit strange."

"What does her father do?" Su Miaoyi asked.

"I don't really know what the construction company does behind the scenes," Shen Yanzhou said.

"Brother, you're really reckless. You went head-to-head with someone who's doing something secretly overseas that we have no idea what. You really are..." Su Miaoyi was still scared. "It's truly thanks to the blessings of the Shen family ancestors."

Shen Yanzhou said, "Who hasn't been young?"

Su Miaoyi shook her head; her palms were sweating.

"Alright, stop thinking about it," Shen Yanzhou said.

Su Miaoyi sighed, "I thought your spring had finally arrived! I even imagined a grand reconciliation, but..."

Shen Yanzhou smiled and said, "Do I have to have spring?"

Su Miaoyi looked at him and said, "It's up to you."

Shen Yanzhou raised an eyebrow in surprise: "Why are you being so understanding today?"

"I'll let you off the hook today, considering you were injured before."

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."
