Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Downstairs, a group of menacing-looking men leaned against the wall, smoking and chatting. One of them repeatedly slammed an iron rod against the wall. Shi Xiang’er, not far away, trembled at the sound, as if the rod could strike her at any moment.

The man with the rough voice and impatient tone said, “Damn it, why hasn’t that old woman named Shi Xiang’er come back yet? Miss Yan Xi said if this woman is still alive and leaves tomorrow, we’ll be in trouble! I haven’t had good days for a while, and I don’t want this old woman to mess things up…” “Wait a bit longer. I checked, she usually gets off work around this time. She can’t run away…”

Their voices were not deliberately lowered, and in the open street, their words echoed even more clearly.

Hearing their conversation, Shi Xiang’er’s face turned incredibly ugly. She hadn’t expected Yan Xi to double-cross her like this! That woman, using her and then wanting her dead? Shi Xiang’er wanted to escape, but in her haste, she accidentally bumped into a trash can behind her, making a loud noise.

The men downstairs heard the commotion and instantly looked over. When they saw her, they all ran towards her. “It’s Shi Xiang’er! She’s back, catch her!”

Shi Xiang’er was terrified and sprinted away, but the men behind her couldn’t be shaken off. They kept shouting that if they caught her, she was as good as dead. Who was making things difficult for whom? Shi Xiang’er wanted to curse. Who was really making life difficult for whom?

She ran without looking back. Just when things seemed dire, she spotted a car parked by the roadside. The female driver inside appeared to be on the phone. Without much thought, Shi Xiang’er ran over and tried to open the car door, but it was locked. Hearing footsteps growing closer from behind, Shi Xiang’er’s voice trembled as she urgently pleaded, “Please open the door, someone is trying to kill me… Save me…”

The next moment, the car door opened.

“Get in.”

The voice from inside the car sounded somewhat familiar, but Shi Xiang’er did not have time to think. She quickly scrambled inside.

At that moment, as the car sped away, Shi Xiang’er turned to look at the group of people left behind, her heart finally calming down. It was then that she had a moment to turn her head and look at the person in the driver’s seat, intending to express her gratitude. But upon seeing that the person driving was Shen Qingyue, she was instantly shocked. “Miss Shen, how come you are here?”

Shen Qingyue focused on driving. “I found something interesting today, so I came to ask you about it. I didn’t expect to encounter something so intriguing.” 𝘧𝘳ℯℯ𝓌ℯ𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Shi Xiang’er tightened her seatbelt. “What did you find?”

“My grandfather suddenly fell ill. Did Yan Xi ask you to give him medicine?” Shen Qingyue asked directly.

Shi Xiang’er hurriedly defended herself. “It wasn’t me! I have no grudges with Mr. Shen, how could I…”

Shen Qingyue cut her off calmly. “You don’t need to defend yourself. I won’t approach you without evidence. Of course, I believe you were coerced. As long as you help me testify against Yan Xi…”

Shi Xiang’er’s gaze became uncertain. “I don’t understand what you’re talking about.”

Shen Qingyue sneered. “You can pretend to be ignorant, but do you think your safety is guaranteed? Yan Xi is ruthless; she can harm even her own grandfather. As someone with knowledge of this incident and no power, do you think she will spare you? Why did she send you to do this instead of handling it herself? Obviously, she doesn’t want to be implicated. How long do you think you, as the witness, can stay safe?”

Shen Qingyue’s words reminded Shi Xiang’er of what had just happened. She spoke with difficulty, “Can you guarantee the safety of me and my husband?”

Shen Qingyue smirked. “I don’t have that power, but the police do. What do you say?

Thinking about the recent events, Shi Xiang’er made up her mind. “Fine, I’ll accompany you to the police station tomorrow.”

“No rush. Before that, there’s one more thing I need you to do.”

Shen Qingyue found a highly confidential hotel, arranged for her to stay there, and assigned two people to watch over her before leaving.

Back home, she received a call from Chen Ying.

“Is Shi Xiang’er willing to help you?” Chen Ying asked.

Shen Qingyue, with a hint of weariness in her eyes, replied, “She agreed. I troubled you earlier to have your people act as villains…”

“Why talk about these things between us?” Chen Ying waved it off. “But can you be sure Shi Xiang’er won’t change her mind? People who can be bought with money are unpredictable.”

Shen Qingyue replied, “I’ve prepared for this. I recorded everything..”
