Shen Jiyuan didn't actually want to go to Yunxiang Residence. Whether it was what happened four years ago or the matter that his brat was involved in now, he didn't want to get any deeper involved.

But that brat Shen Ji whispered in his ear, "Dad, I know you're worried, but..." he said softly but seriously, "In this situation, just worrying won't help."

"Are we just going to hide at home forever, hiding from those bad guys?"

Shen Ji sighed, "We've already been dragged into this. As long as we have something they need, they won't let us go."

"Instead of hiding like this, we should take the initiative and resolve the matter."

"A wise man does not stand under a dangerous wall, and only under the scorching sun can one find clarity."

"dad……"

Shen Jiyuan lowered his eyes to look at the little one in front of him. This wasn't the first time he had felt this way; the person in front of him was definitely not a three-year-old child.

How could a three-year-old child utter such thoughts, such demeanor, and such words that even adults might not be able to say?

Shen Jiyuan couldn't help but think of Su Qian from four years ago...

Although he wasn't sure, based on the details he recalled, he felt that the woman wasn't the obedient girl she appeared to be.

These words... were they taught to that brat by that woman?

Shen Jiyuan frowned. He stared at Shen Ji for a while before looking away and saying, "I will call Zhao Tong."

Shen Ji grinned and happily made a peace sign, "Daddy, I love you the most~ Yay! (づ ̄ 3 ̄)づ"

Shen Jiyuan ignored him and patiently served him until he finished his meal before moving on to the next location.

-

Yunxiangju is a traditional three-story courtyard teahouse. In addition to its excellent tea, the environment and privacy here are also very good, and its various Chinese-style snacks are very popular.

However, the prices are just as high, and the private rooms on the second and third floors are almost all for members only, so there aren't many ordinary people who come here to spend money.

Although Shen Jiyuan doesn't come here for tea very often, he still has members.

The three of them immediately requested a private room on the second floor, while Zhu Rong and Qu Liuying waited in the lobby downstairs.

However, the second floor of Yunxiangju is not on the roof of the lobby; you have to cross the courtyard to enter the backyard. The three of them went to the backyard under the guidance of the waiter.

What was somewhat surprising was that the waiter couldn't speak. Shen Ji turned his head from Shen Jiyuan's arms and looked at the waiter's name tag, only to find that the words "deaf and mute" were written on the bottom of the name tag.

Shen Ji was stunned. Would such a high-end place hire a disabled person as a waiter?

It's not that he doesn't believe there aren't kind-hearted business owners, it's just that it doesn't make sense. Even if there were the most kind-hearted business owners, they probably wouldn't let a disabled person serve high-end guests.

Shen Ji turned his head and looked into the courtyard again. Several people were cleaning in the courtyard. The sun was shining brightly, and there was no one at the outdoor tea table in the courtyard.

Among the cleaning staff were several children.

hiss……

Shen Ji was stunned. That wasn't a child; it must be a dwarf.

This Yunxiangju... actually took in so many disabled employees?

Shen Ji narrowed his eyes.

After the deaf-mute waiter led them into the backyard, he pressed a button on his chest, and a young man came out of the building a few seconds later.

He greeted them with a smile, "Your private rooms are in Tianya Pavilion, this way please."

This person is a normal person, though.

Xia Man seemed to have never been here for tea before. He said with some surprise, "Tsk, your boss must be a great philanthropist to have hired so many disabled employees."

The waiter smiled and said, "It's only right. People with disabilities can also earn a living with their own hands."

Xia Man gave him a thumbs up.

After the three of them went upstairs and entered the private room, Shen Jiyuan sent his location to Zhu Rong, instructing them to find a spot near the backyard and be on standby at any time.

After entering the private room, the waiter politely asked, "What would you gentlemen like to drink? Our signature tea is Longjing, but we also have other high-quality teas."

"Oh?" Shen Jiyuan looked up and asked, "What else?"

"We have Baihao Yinzhen, Junshan Yinzhen, Lao Tongxing, and more."

Shen Jiyuan said, "Then let's have Longjing tea, and a few more of your signature dim sum dishes, suitable for children."

The waiter nodded. "Okay, please wait a moment."

"Dad," Shen Ji whispered in Shen Jiyuan's ear, "Did you see the dwarf from earlier?"

Shen Jiyuan was stunned for a moment. He wasn't blind; of course he saw it.

But why was the brat suddenly bringing this up? He frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"

Shen Ji lowered his voice and recounted the scene of Wei Tian's death in the warehouse, "Uncle Zhao still hasn't found Wei Tian's killer, or even figured out the method of the crime..."

"I was also very puzzled before, how exactly did the murderer enter the warehouse to kill people and then escape silently right under Mo Yang's nose?"

"But after seeing the dwarfs sweeping the yard just now, I suddenly had an idea..."

Shen Jiyuan's gaze darkened. "You mean, the person who killed Wei Tian wasn't a normal person?"

Shen Ji nodded and said, "However, this is just my guess. Let's call Uncle Zhao later and ask him to investigate this kind of person more thoroughly."

Shen Jiyuan frowned even more deeply, and his gaze unconsciously turned to look at the courtyard outside the window.

There were indeed two short figures cleaning up there. If you didn't look closely, you might mistake them for two children playing.

He stared at the people there for a while, and just as he was about to look away, a few more people suddenly walked into the courtyard.

The leader was a woman wearing an indigo cheongsam, followed by several men who walked in chatting and laughing.

"Huh?" Xia Man craned her neck to look down. "What's Old Deng doing here having tea?"

Shen Jiyuan followed his gaze and saw that one of the men was indeed older. He asked, "Your father?"

"Yeah," Xia Man said, puzzled. "But wasn't he supposed to be on a business trip to Yuncheng? Why is he here?"

"Hiss, I can't let him find out I'm here too." He quickly pulled his head back. "If he finds out I came out to meet someone I met online, he'll break my legs when we get back."

Shen Jiyuan's gaze fell on the woman at the front, and he frowned. "Do you... know that woman in front?"

Why did that woman look so familiar to him?

Xia Manzhen recognized her. "Yes, I know her. She's Manager Sun's sister. She used to own the very famous toy factory, Lingdu."

"But for some reason, it's not open now."

Shen Jiyuan's gaze paused. "She's Sun Qing?"

"Yes," Xia Man said in surprise, "President Shen, you know her too?"

He thought that a big CEO like Shen Jiyuan, from a very wealthy and powerful family, couldn't possibly know a small business owner like Sun Qing.

Shen Jiyuan didn't speak. He suddenly remembered where he had seen this woman before.

Four years ago, when Bian Xiong first introduced him to Sun Huai at the club, he didn't give him much face, and Sun Huai just smiled and left.

Later, he met Sun Huai again in the parking lot.

At that time, there was a woman sitting in the passenger seat of Sun Huai's car.

Although the woman was wearing a mask, her eyebrows and eyes were exactly the same as Sun Qing's. That woman was Sun Qing!

That was the first time he saw that woman. Later, at the party where he was drugged, Bian Xiong also brought Sun Huai and the woman to talk to him.

However, he never had a good impression of Sun Huai, and his struggle with Bian Xiong had reached a fever pitch, so he left without giving him any face.

So that woman... was Sun Qing.
