Did he know that Shang Yucheng was here to pick her up? As soon as this thought came to mind, Ye Shen shook his head and denied his thoughts. It was impossible for Shang Yucheng to let Lu Jingcheng know about his private relationship with her.

Could it be just a coincidence—or, Lu Jingcheng looked upstairs, what kind of trap was Shang Yucheng arranged?

The doorbell was still ringing, Ye Shen hesitated for a moment, quickly returned to the table, picked up Shang Yucheng's coffee cup and handbag, and prepared to hide it aside.

The soft leather handbag in his hand was not heavy, and Ye Shen's fingers touched a hard thing.

This feel and silhouette is very familiar to Ye Shen. He paused in his steps, then quickly stepped aside, put his things in the cupboard, then carefully closed the cabinet door, walked quickly to the door and opened it.

"Jingcheng! What are you doing here? Ye Shen raised his voice to warn Shang Yucheng upstairs, with a look of surprise on his face. What's wrong with you? ”

The doubt in the last sentence was sincere, because Lu Jingcheng stumbled drunken and almost fell to the ground.

Ye Shen hurriedly helped him, "Why did you drink so much?" ”

Lu Jingcheng pushed him away regardless of it, "I don't need you to help me!" Ye Shen, in vain I really think you are a brother, I didn't expect you to be such a villain! ”

Lu Jingcheng's push happened to touch Ye Shen's injured arm, and he clenched his teeth so that he didn't make a sound. Turning his head to look upstairs, he saw a flash of clothes at the stairs on the second floor, and Shang Yucheng was not seen coming downstairs.

Ye Shen slowed down before frowning, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Seeing that Lu Jingcheng seemed very uncomfortable, Ye Shen pulled him in, pressed him on the sofa, picked up most of the coffee he had drunk on the table, and poured it into Lu Jingcheng's mouth.

The stimulation of coffee finally made Lu Jingcheng sober up, he pointed at Ye Shen with his index finger in one hand, and took out a photo from his pocket with the other, "This is what I found in Yucheng's room, what do you have to say!" ”

Ye Shen looked at the crumpled photo, and the person on it was himself. The look on his face darkened, "What does this mean?" "What does this mean? Isn't that what I should ask you? Lu Jingcheng threw the photo on Ye Shen's face. I know that Ye Dashao likes women, and women also like Ye Dashao - but Yucheng is mine! You are not allowed to hit her idea. ”

Ye Shen picked up the photo, glanced at it and put it on the table, chuckling and said, "It's just a photo, do you need to lose such a big temper?" He got up and poured a glass of water for Lu Jingcheng and put it on the table, before he smiled again, "Miss Shang is very beautiful, but it's okay if a woman is beautiful, you don't have to be too smart." Miss Shang is too smart to meet my standards at all. ”

Lu Jingcheng shook his head, "What standards do you have?" Your standard is a woman – a beautiful woman. Would you consider anything else? ”

Ye Shen frowned, "You said that, it disappointed me too much." Of course I would consider something else, at least I wouldn't rob my brother's woman. ”

Lu Jingcheng looked at Ye Shen for a while before he said unwillingly, "Then how do you explain this photo?" ”

Ye Shen spread his hands, "Since this photo was found in Miss Shang's house, you should ask her - maybe she was impressed by my handsomeness and secretly had a crush on me?" ”

Seeing that Lu Jingcheng's face was about to change, Ye Shencai hurriedly said again, "I'm just joking, this photo was given to Miss Shang by me - I asked her to do something for me, and I need my photo to make it happen." ”

Ye Shen's words finally calmed Lu Jingcheng down, "What do you want her to do for you?" ”

Ye Shen hesitated for a moment, and then said a little embarrassedly, "I want to ask Miss Shang to get a fake doctoral diploma for me in the United States - to fill the façade, you also know that women nowadays value the foreign ink in men's stomachs very much." ”

"Fake diplomas?" Lu Jingcheng never thought that it was this answer, and couldn't help but be stunned.

"yes." Ye Shen grimaced, "Now that I told you, you are not allowed to tell others." ”

Lu Jingcheng shook his head, "Yucheng has always been very decent, how could he agree to you to do such a thing?" ”

Of course she wouldn't say yes. Ye Shen complained on his face, "If I hadn't helped you get Huijin's goods back from the dock, she wouldn't have agreed to me." ”

"What?" Lu Jingcheng frowned, "Yucheng asked you to help us?" ”

Ye Shen shook his head, with a smug expression, "It's not. But I helped you, why was she so embarrassed to refuse to do me such a small favor? ”

Lu Jingcheng was stunned for a moment, and then said to himself with some regret, "I misunderstood Yucheng by saying this." ”

Ye Shen pursed his lips, "You didn't misunderstand her." The person you misunderstood was me, Ye Shen. ”

Lu Jingcheng turned a deaf ear, "If she made an appointment with Yucheng today, she will definitely not be happy." He stood up, "I'll go see her." ”

Ye Shen looked at his nervous appearance and said coldly, "She is happy when you go to see her like this?" ”

Lu Jingcheng nodded, "Yes." I'll go home and wash up first. I'll go first-"

Ye Shen heard the door slam shut behind Lu Jingcheng, so he raised his hand to hold the injured arm on the other side and gasped.

"I'll bandage it for you." Shang Yucheng's somewhat uneasy voice came from his side.

Ye Shen turned his head slightly to look at her, and said lightly, "It seems that you found out where my family's first aid kit was placed." ”

Shang Yucheng had no choice but to explain, "I think you might need to find an anti-hangover pill, so I rummaged through the bathroom. ”

Ye Shen didn't respond to her words, got up and walked to the cabinet on the side, took out Shang Yucheng's handbag and walked to her, and handed it to her without saying a word.

Shang Yucheng looked at his face and said apologetically, "I didn't know that Jing Cheng would come over suddenly, today's incident was really not my arrangement." ”

Ye Shen raised his eyes to look at her, "Do you think I should trust you?" ”

Shang Yucheng frowned, "I didn't lie to you. ”

Ye Shen smiled and shook his head as if he had heard some joke, "So you really came to visit my injury tonight?" ”

Shang Yucheng bit his lower lip and did not speak.

Ye Shen picked up the photo full of creases from the table and held it up in front of Shang Yucheng's eyes, "You didn't let the detective follow me investigate behind my back?" ”

Shang Yucheng lowered his eyes slightly.

"You're not going to point a gun at me at the right time?"

Ye Shen held his handbag in the palm of his hand, looked at Shang Yucheng and said with a smile, "I blame you for saying that." But it doesn't matter, your fiancé is galloping down the road, ready to make you happy. Miss Shang, please? ”

Shang Yucheng raised his head and wanted to say something, but when he saw the coldness in Ye Shen's smile, he couldn't help but shrink back.

In fact, there is no need to explain, although what he said is not necessarily true, but it is indeed not far from the truth. Since he is not a good person, why bother to pretend?

Shang Yucheng nodded, put down the medicine bottle and bandage in his hand, took his handbag and turned to leave.

——

The drunk Lu Jingcheng finally returned to Lu's house after receiving repeated assurances from Shang Yucheng that he was not angry. Shang Yucheng lay on the bed tiredly, unable to sleep, so he simply got up and walked barefoot to the living room and took his handbag in.

She took a handkerchief from her handbag and opened it gently.

Inside was a piece of gauze stained with blood, which she found when she went to the bathroom at Ye Shen's house. Shang Yucheng looked at the blood on it carefully, a blood stain that was roughly circular was evenly spread out on the gauze, whether this was a trace of a gunshot wound, she couldn't be sure.

She couldn't learn the truth from Ye Shen's mouth, so she had to hope that the experienced Shu Qiang could get a glimpse of it from this piece of gauze.

She raised her head slightly, her eyes casually falling on a delicate cardboard box on her desk. This is Ye Shen's 'birthday gift' to her.

As if by magic, she picked up the carton and opened it carefully.

Sure enough, there was a lollipop the size of a child's palm in the box, colorful, bright and beautiful, with the tempting sweet fragrance of candy.

Shang Yucheng looked at the candy, she didn't need to eat it to know that it must be very sweet.

It's just—

Shang Yucheng remembered Ye Shen's eyes when he left the Ye family—he must have been very disappointed. After all, he had helped himself, and even they had a moment when they opened a corner of the secret in the Licha Hotel.

Shang Yucheng showed a wry smile, even if there was a moment, what could it represent? This seemingly beautiful Shangyu City on the surface is full of ugly scars and broken souls inside. In such a life of walking on thin ice, she can't even be a real friend with him, or the real Su Jingyao no longer has the right to touch other people's lives.

Shang Yucheng closed the box again, opened the drawer and put it in.

Shang Yucheng quickly handed the piece of gauze to Shu Qiang, and to her disappointment, Shu Qiang could not give a positive or negative judgment on the gunshot wound based on the gauze. And she also temporarily lost the opportunity to get close to Ye Shen, so she had to put down her investigation of Ye Shen first, and instead concentrate on finding clues about Zhao Wenxuan.

The business of the furniture store gradually stabilized, and Lu Jingcheng finally had more free time than before, except for a few classes of oriental art appreciation at Guanghua University every week, and occasionally a friend from the church, he was often with Lu Jingcheng.

"Another robbery." Lu Jingcheng put down the newspaper in his hand with some annoyance, "These things are published in the newspaper every day, and you don't let people live peacefully?" ”

Shang Yucheng nodded, "Not really. It's all day long, and it's scary. Why do you think this world is in chaos like this? ”

Lu Jingcheng sighed lightly and said to Shang Yucheng with concern, "You have to be more careful these days." If you can, don't go out. ”

Shang Yucheng nodded, "I know." She shook Lu Jingcheng's hand, "I'm okay, you go out early and return late every day, so you have to be more careful." ”

Lu Jingcheng nodded and smiled, "I'll naturally be careful." Okay, I'm off to work. ”

Shang Yucheng nodded, watched him leave, and then picked up the phone on the side and dialed Shu Qiang's number.

"Hey." Shu Qiang quickly picked up the phone.

"Tonight, let's go ahead with our plan."

Late at night, there was a quiet place around the Lu Mansion.

Shang Yucheng sat quietly on the sofa, the red wine glass in his hand shining through the moonlight through the curtains.

"Bang!" A sudden gunshot shattered the silence.

It seems that the gunshot is still not satisfied, and it is "Bang!" again. Bang! "Twice. Completely woke up the night that had been asleep.

Through the curtain on the window, Shang Yucheng saw that the windows of the Lu family were lit up one after another.

She stood up and crept to the back door.

There was a rush of footsteps, Shang Yucheng hurriedly opened the door, and a black shadow quickly flashed in.
