When Shang Yucheng arrived at the teahouse, Shu Qiang also happened to walk in.

"Miss Shang." Shu Qiang took off his hat and walked straight to the table and sat down, "You are so anxious to find me, but what happened?" ”

Shang Yucheng didn't have any polite thoughts, took out the photo from his bag and handed it to Shu Qiang, and got straight to the point, "I met a child named Su Yunkai in Xujiahui Church today, just looking at the photo, it is seven or eight points similar to Su Jingyao, the lost child. Shang Yucheng looked at Shu Qiang, "I want you to check the origin of this child for me." ”

Shu Qiang paused with some surprise, "Seven or eight points - the name is Su Yunkai, and the surname is Su?" ”

Shang Yucheng nodded, "That kid looks like he's about four or five years old. According to the grandmother of the orphanage, he was sold to his adoptive parents and then sent to the orphanage. I remember Huo Lao Er once said that he sold the child to a couple in Shanghai back then, and this can also be right-"

Shu Qiang nodded, frowned again, and said, "But I remember that the couple's surname is Liu, if it is really them, how can they name the child Su Yunkai?" ”

Shang Yucheng groaned and shook his head, "Now everything is just speculation, I don't know what the inside story is." Maybe the name wasn't given to his adoptive parents—" she looked at Shu Qiang, "Mrs. Chen was three years old when she passed away, and although he doesn't remember much, he may be able to remember his name." ”

"So it is very likely that this name was taken by Mrs. Chen or Su Jingyao's nurse Zhao." Shu Qiang looked at Shang Yucheng and nodded, "That's reasonable." ”

"What the truth is, I can only worry about Mr. Shu." Shang Yucheng said earnestly.

Shu Qiang only nodded, "I know Miss Shang, I'll start to check it out immediately." ”

Shang Yucheng said gratefully, "Thank you, Mr. Shu." It's just that the stakes are high, and I can't think of a better person than you. ”

"Miss Shang doesn't need to be so polite." Shu Qiang smiled and said with a straight face, "Even if Miss Shang doesn't look for me today, I'm afraid I'll have to make an appointment with Miss Shang to meet - the matter you said last time about the goods entering the customs of Huijin has some eyebrows." ”

"Oh?" Shang Yucheng raised his eyebrows slightly, "What did Mr. Shu find?" ”

"Miss Shang, have you ever heard of the name Zhao Huaiyuan?" Shu Qiang asked rhetorically.

"Zhao Huaiyuan-" Shang Yucheng thought for a moment and remembered, "I met Zhao Huaiyuan and his wife at the New Year's Day dance a few days ago, and I heard that this Mr. Zhao was on an errand at the customs, but he was the same person?" ”

Shu Qiang nodded, "If it's an errand at customs, it's right." This Zhao Huaiyuan's official position is not high, but his power is not small, and all the goods entering the customs through Hongkou Port are inspected by his office and approved for entry into the port - he is a real person with real power. ”

"So what?" Shang Yucheng looked at him puzzled and asked.

Shu Qiang looked at Shang Yucheng with a solemn gaze, "This Zhao Huaiyuan has a deep background, and there are rumors that his background is a high-level Nanjing government - so he has always been fair and selfless, and he doesn't care about anyone's feelings." Shu Qiang paused, "Except for the Lu family." ”

Shang Yucheng listened carefully to Shu Qiang's words, frowning and pondering.

"Many of the Lu family's goods enjoy long-term exemption from inspection, and there is not even occasional random inspection - this is the biggest advantage of the Lu family's goods." I thought, "The Lu family must have taken this opportunity to evade tariffs in large quantities, thus saving a huge amount of tax money." ”

What did the Lu family do in it-Shang Yucheng didn't care, she just wanted to know what Ye Shen had gained from it, what was it?

"Miss Shang wants to start with this matter and trip the Lu family?" Shu Qiang looked at Shang Yucheng and asked with a hint of uneasiness.

Shang Yucheng was stunned and subconsciously shook her head, although she couldn't guess what Ye Shen had to do with this matter, as long as he was involved, she couldn't act rashly.

Seeing Shang Yucheng's denial, Shu Qiang breathed a sigh of relief and said earnestly, "Miss Shang is right to be so cautious. Although this kind of thing is done secretly, if you have the heart to investigate, it is not ironclad. The Lu family can still have such a smooth ride, which shows that the rumors are not groundless - that Zhao Huaiyuan's background is by no means simple. Since he is in cahoots with the Lu family, this matter is not something that our ordinary people can touch. ”

Shang Yucheng nodded, "I understand, Mr. Shu, please rest assured." ”

Shu Qiang nodded with satisfaction and got up to say goodbye.

Shang Yucheng poured a cup of tea that had become warm in the teapot, handed it to his lips and took a sip.

Why does Ye Shen attach so much importance to the cooperation with the Lu family? Is it for the advantage of exemption from inspection when Lujia's goods enter the customs? But unless he can get a piece of the tax payable by the Lu family, whether those goods are exempt from inspection or not has little to do with him-

Shang Yucheng shook his head slightly, even if Ye Shen could get a piece of the pie, that tax might not be able to arouse his interest. In addition, the convenience of exemption from inspection is smuggling - could it be that Ye Shen is using the Lu family's goods to do smuggling business?

Wrong. Shang Yucheng subconsciously denied his idea, the Ye family has many industries, even if it is a legitimate business, the profit is considerable enough. The current income of Ye's Shipping Company is comparable to the income of Huijin Department Store, and there is no need for him to take unnecessary risks.

But what if it wasn't based on Ye Shen's needs? Shang Yucheng frowned, judging from Ye Shen's reaction, maybe in terms of cooperation with the Lu family, he was not thinking about himself. Shang Yucheng closed his eyes slightly, his fingers lightly tapping his forehead, if he was doing all this for his secret mission—then was he using the Lu family to do his own thing? And what is smuggling?

Shang Yucheng immediately thought of many possibilities, and the two most likely were arms, medicine and medicine.

Thinking that Ye Shen might have been taking risks to smuggle arms or illegal drugs, Shang Yucheng's heart was shocked and frightened. She almost wanted to find Ye Shen immediately and explain her guess to him, so that Ye Shen could say that she had guessed wrong—he didn't do such a thing.

But she understood, not to say that it was just speculation now, even if she knew everything for sure—she could do nothing but appear to know nothing.

After sitting for a long time, Shang Yucheng finally restrained his worries and walked out of the teahouse. The night wind swept in the biting cold, Shang Yucheng wrapped his coat tightly, hurriedly stopped a rickshaw and rushed home.

Presumably Ye Shen had already called, Shang Yucheng thought as he entered the door. I handed over the matter of Yunkai to Shu Qiang to investigate-I don't know if Ye Shen will be unhappy. Although Ye Shen must want to help, it's just that Ye Shen's understanding of this matter is not as good as Shu Qiang, and secondly, this matter is always too worrying for her, and she doesn't want to lose her temper in front of Ye Shen like she did in the car today.

But it's better to say it to Ye Shen. Shang Yucheng thought about it and walked into the living room.

"Miss—"

Xianglin stood on the side of the sofa and called softly when he saw her come in.

Shang Yucheng raised his head, but saw that there was a person sitting on the sofa in the center of the living room at this moment, but it was Lu Jingcheng, who had not been seen for a few days.

"Jing Cheng?" Shang Yucheng couldn't help but be surprised when he saw someone coming.

Lu Jingcheng glanced at her and said expressionlessly, "Xianglin, you go back to the room first." ”

Xianglin looked at Shang Yucheng hesitantly, and when he saw her nodding, he walked out slowly.

It seems that Lu Jingcheng has been waiting at home for a while, and the tea on the table has cooled down. Shang Yucheng took matters into his own hands to change a cup of hot tea for him, then poured himself a cup of hot water before sitting down across from him.

Seeing that he didn't mean to speak, Shang Yucheng said, "You came to me today, is there anything wrong?" ”

Hearing her question, Lu Jingcheng showed a sarcastic smile on his face, "I always thought that we would get closer and closer, but I didn't expect you and I to have such a day like strangers." ”

Shang Yucheng smiled bitterly, "It's all because of me, it's because I can't stand you." ”

Lu Jingcheng shook his head, "I'm not here to listen to your apology. He looked at Shang Yucheng, "But since you know that you can't stand me, then I'll give you a chance to make amends—would you?" ”

Shang Yucheng frowned slightly, Lu Jingcheng's condescending and arrogant attitude made her feel a little awkward, but after thinking about it, this was not the time to care about this.

"What do you want me to do, just tell me about it." Shang Yucheng is gentle and authentic.

Seeing her so obedient, Lu Jingcheng's attitude inadvertently softened, "I came today to talk to you about someone." ”

Shang Yucheng's heart sank suddenly, could it be that Ye Shen's tricks were completely ineffective, did he still doubt Ye Shen?

Although she was a little weak-hearted, she still said calmly, "Who are you going to talk to me about?" ”

Lu Jingcheng stared at him carefully, as if he wanted to see something from her face, and seeing that she didn't show the expected panicked look, he couldn't help but be a little disappointed, and simply said bluntly, "Zhao Wenxuan." ”

It turned out that he was here for Zhao Wenxuan, and it seems that he is still inclined to believe in Ye Shen's mixed performance after all. Shang Yucheng secretly cheered up, with a slightly nervous look on his face, "Zhao Wenxuan? ”

Lu Jingcheng looked at her eyes and nodded slightly, "That's right, Zhao Wenxuan." He paused, "Don't you have anything to say?" ”

Shang Yucheng frowned, "Mr. Zhao and I are just general friends, if you want to talk about Mr. Zhao, what can I say?" ”

Seeing Shang Yucheng's reaction, Lu Jingcheng was even more sure that what Ye Shen said was true, and he smiled coldly, "A general friend? Since it was a general acquaintance, how could you meet him privately? Since they are general friends, why do you want to play a game of real and fake jewelry with him? Since it's a general acquaintance - how did you know in advance that the robbery would happen at the jewelry store? ”

Lu Jingcheng said a word, Shang Yucheng's face sank, and when he finished speaking, Shang Yucheng's face was already very ugly, and she stood up with a hint of forbearance anger, "It must be Ye Shen who said it to you, right?" ”

Lu Jingcheng didn't answer, but said with a cold face, "What if Ye Shen said it?" Now that I'm asking you, you should always answer me first. ”

Shang Yucheng looked at him, and sat down as if he was relieved for a while.

"Now that you know—" She looked up at Lu Jingcheng, "what do you want?" ”

Lu Jingcheng looked at Shang Yucheng's still beautiful face, as if he didn't want to believe it, and shook his head blankly, "You admit it?" ”

His eyes met Shang Yucheng's, and she seemed to be burned to the point that she turned her face away, biting her lip and not saying a word.

"Why?" Lu Jingcheng frowned in disappointment, "Don't you understand-I'm willing to share everything with you, and what you want will be no less!" Why are you doing this again? ”

Shang Yucheng heard his words and shook his head slightly, "You won't be Jing Cheng." She raised her eyes, her eyes skimmed over Lu Jingcheng, and she didn't know where she was going.

"Admittedly, my motives were not pure when I first recognized you. But what about you? Shang Yucheng glanced at Lu Jingcheng, with a hint of amazement on his expression, "Could it be that you trust me wholeheartedly and have no reservations?" She smiled bitterly, "Don't you have a trace of worry in your heart—I'm afraid I'm greedy for your money?" ”

Lu Jingcheng shook his head and wanted to deny it, but for some reason, when the words came to his mouth, he suddenly felt that he couldn't say it.

"Even if you used to have a lot of sincerity towards me—but since you joined Huijin, you've been thinking about me anymore." Shang Yucheng sighed, "Your future, your status, your face, these are the most important things. You think time will solve all these problems—" she looked at Lu Jingcheng, "and it won't." ”

She paused, then laughed self-deprecatingly, "It sounds like I'm distorting the facts and passing the buck now, so I don't need to say that." ”

Shang Yucheng licked his lips, raised the water glass on the table and took a sip gently, "What are your plans to come today, can you say it now?" ”

Maybe Lu Jingcheng was full of hatred when he came, but at this time he was a little shaken.

Although Shang Yucheng's actions still made him unforgivable, her words made him not know how to refute them.

Is it his fault in all this? He couldn't help but be suspicious.

Shang Yucheng looked at his trance-like expression, and his heart was quite uncomfortable. She didn't want Lu Jingcheng to be so entangled, and she didn't want to have anything to do with Lu Jingcheng until she thought about her next plan. It's just that this is the opening scene of Ye Shen, but she has to cooperate to act.

Seeing Lu Jingcheng silently pondering, Shang Yucheng raised his voice, "Jingcheng." ”

Lu Jingcheng raised his head and glanced at her, picked up the tea on the table, took a sip, and said,??" In any case, since you were my Lu Jingcheng's fiancée, you must not cause any scandal. If the matter between you and Zhao Wenxuan is discovered, what will others think of the Lu family and me? Speaking of this, Lu Jingcheng's face turned cold again, "I can't let this happen." ”

Shang Yucheng instantly understood the purpose of Lu Jingcheng's trip. He didn't come to Xingshi to ask about his crimes, let alone to remember love, but he just wanted to try his best to maintain the face and reputation of the Lu family.

He couldn't sit idly by and watch what Shang Yucheng and Zhao Wenxuan did become a time bomb that threatened his reputation – the question was, how did he get rid of it?
