I have to say that Ye Shen's actions greatly surprised Shang Yucheng.

He went to great lengths to take Wu Hong away, didn't he just want a bargaining chip to force himself to tell the truth? But he just asked a few questions—

Did he really see something?

Shang Yucheng sat beside Ye Shen uneasily, and the car in which the two of them were sitting was walking towards the suburbs.

Isn't he a fun-loving man? Why do you want to pursue this matter so carefully? Shang Yucheng couldn't figure it out, but faintly, she felt that Ye Shen might also have her own purpose, but she couldn't think of what it was for a while.

"Miss Shang is also from Shanghai?" Ye Shen asked casually while driving the car.

The answer to this question has been rehearsed many times in Shang Yucheng's heart, and he has already been in his chest.

"That's right. It was only later that he moved to the United States with his parents and his family, and he became much stranger to Shanghai. ”

Ye Shen nodded, "So, are you following in the footsteps of love and returning to Shanghai?" Ye Shen said, turning his head and smiling at Shang Yucheng.

Shang Yucheng always felt that there was some sarcasm in his smile, and she said angrily, "That's right." Is there anything wrong with this? ”

Ye Shen pursed his lips, "There is no problem. It's just that Shanghai is not very peaceful, and you are still willing to come back. I just admire you. ”

Shang Yucheng smiled, "It's nothing. It's not peaceful like this, doesn't Mr. Ye also live a good life? ”

Ye Shen smiled and said, "I don't care. But a lady like Miss Shang who values both beauty and wisdom is different. Reading a book and tasting tea in a peaceful and prosperous era is the life you should have. ”

In Ye Shen's words, there was actually a hint of amazement. Shang Yucheng was a little puzzled, and he didn't know how to answer.

Shortly after the car drove up, it stopped at the door of an old factory building. Ye Shen got out of the car and lit a cigarette, "She's here." What are you going to do? ”

Shang Yucheng looked inside and saw nothing.

"I found a few faces and invited her, and so far she doesn't know who the host is who invited her to be a guest." Ye Shen said with a smoke ring in a chic manner.

Shang Yucheng frowned, thinking carefully about countermeasures.

Her original plan was to sabotage the relationship between Lu Jingpeng and Wu Hong, so that they could show their own feet. But Ye Shen's quick knife method disrupted her plan, and she had no choice but to respond on the spot.

"What are you going to do to her when I'm done?"

Ye Shen raised his eyebrows and smiled nonchalantly, "What, are you worried that I will kill people and kill people—or are you worried that I will not kill people and kill people?" ”

Shang Yucheng glanced at him and ignored him.

Ye Shen smiled and threw aside the half-smoked cigarette, turned around and walked towards the factory, "With Miss Shang's intelligence, getting the news is just a piece of cake, and when you get what you want, Miss Wu can return to Zhao-" After he finished speaking, he shook his head slightly, "It is certain to return to Zhao, but whether it is complete or not, it has nothing to do with me." ”

Shang Yucheng reacted for a few seconds before she understood what Ye Shen meant, she couldn't help blushing slightly, pretending not to hear anything, and followed Ye Shen in.

Of course, Shang Yucheng would not face Wu Hong openly and ask questions. She wrote down a few questions with mixed truths and falsehoods, and asked someone to bring a pen and paper to Wu Hong, asking her to write down all the answers.

After a few rounds, Shang Yucheng slowly discovered the clue.

Ye Shen looked at Shang Yucheng's expression, leaned over and said, "What did she say to you?" ”

Shang Yucheng didn't look at him, and closed the letter in his hand with a "swish".

Ye Shen was not annoyed, and said with a smile, "I said Miss Shang, these people are all my people who come in and out, aren't you covering your ears and stealing the bell like this?" ”

Shang Yucheng pretended not to hear, picked up the pen and wrote something, and asked someone to take it in.

Ye Shen saw that she didn't pay attention to herself, so she simply walked out.

Shang Yucheng spread out the paper in his hand again and looked at it carefully.

On the first piece of paper, her question was:

Ms. Wu's name, age, place of origin, and date of residence in Shanghai.

Regarding Wu Hong's basic information, Shang Yucheng had already asked Shu Qiang to investigate clearly. She must have been quite frightened, and the above answer was very detailed and true.

Originally known as Wu Xia, later renamed Wu Hong, 24 years old, Hangzhou, settled in Shanghai in 1930.

On the second piece of paper, her question is:

The dance hall where Miss Wu worked, the reason for leaving each workplace.

Wu Hong had only worked in two dance halls, and this Shang Yucheng had already known about it. Wu Hong replied: Metropolitan Ballroom, Lido Ballroom, the reason for leaving Metropolitan Ballroom is that Lido Ballroom has more income, and the reason for leaving Lido Ballroom is Lu Jingpeng's support.

"Lu Jingpeng."

Shang Yucheng read the name softly and took out the third piece of paper.

Her question is, why did Lu Jingpeng support Miss Wu?

Wu Hong wrote in detail about her acquaintance with Lu Jingpeng, and mentioned Ye Shen by the way. She met Lu Jingpeng by chance at the Metropolitan Ballroom, and then went in and out together a few times. Then one day when she met a drunk Ye Shen, Ye Shen insisted that she dance, but Lu Jingpeng stopped her, and the two quarreled, and then Lu Jingpeng took her out of the metropolis.

After reading these three pieces of paper, Shang Yucheng looked up at the door that led to Wu Hong's room, waiting for the next piece of paper to be delivered, and there was only one question written on this paper: the date of Ye and Lu's quarrel.

Ye Shen leaned on the hood of the car and quietly lit a cigarette.

Every note that Shang Yucheng sent to the door was quietly copied and sent out along with the answers written by Wu Hong. He stared at the contents of the paper for a long time, then took out a lighter and lit it gently.

The flames quickly swept away the sheets of paper, and a gust of wind blew through them, leaving no traces.

The answer to the fourth sheet of paper was New Year's Day five years ago, just a week before that Christmas.

"Mr. Ye." Shang Yucheng called, Ye Shencai raised his head like waking up from a big dream, and immediately showed a smile, "Miss Shang finished asking?" ”

Shang Yucheng nodded and said with a light smile, "Mr. Ye will definitely guarantee that Miss Wu won't say anything nonsense after she goes back, right?" ”

"Of course." Ye Shen replied, walked over and opened the car door for Shang Yucheng, "Miss Shang, please." ”

On the way back, the two of them were silent for a long time, and Shang Yucheng looked at the road ahead without squinting, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Miss Shang got what she wanted?" Ye Shen suddenly spoke.

Shang Yucheng turned his head to look at him, "One answer, but more questions." ”

"Oh?" Ye Shen turned his face to look at her suspiciously.

Shang Yucheng was startled and hurriedly said, "Mr. Ye drive carefully!" ”

Ye Shen turned his head to look at the road ahead and chuckled, "What, worry about me?" ”

Shang Yucheng was really frightened into a cold sweat by Ye Shen's unexpected actions, and said angrily, "Mr. Ye misunderstood, my merchant is thin, and now I am the only one left, so I can't stand any more accidents." ”

Ye Shen smiled, "The luck of a beautiful girl will not be too bad, Miss Shang will definitely live a long life." ”

"Thank you for your good words." Shang Yucheng replied very insincerely.

Ye Shen was not angry, he still smiled cheekily, "What questions does Miss Shang have?" Do I have a chance to help Miss Shang? ”

Shang Yucheng pretended to think about it seriously, turned his head and said, "There is indeed one thing. ”

Ye Shen sighed unexpectedly, "Miss Shang, excuse me." ”

Shang Yucheng looked at the expression on his face, "Why are you helping me?" ”

Ye Shen turned his head to look at her innocently, "You misunderstood." How can I help Miss Shang? It's just that I've always been cautious - I guess Miss Shang has also heard that Miss Wu and Mr. Lu have caused me to lose face, and I am just looking for an opportunity to scare her and play tricks on them. I really can't help you. ”

This answer is equivalent to no answer. Shang Yucheng simply pretended to be sleepy and closed his eyes.

Under Shang Yucheng's strong insistence, Ye Shen finally stopped the car at the corner of the street a few hundred meters away from his home.

If someone from the Lu family saw Ye Shen send her back, it would be a little strange, and if she asked, it would take some explanation. Shang Yucheng asked Ye Shen to park the car at the corner of the street, get out of the car and walk back.

Not far from the door, Shang Yucheng saw a person standing at the door, it was Lu Jingcheng who came back from work. She hurriedly walked over, "Jingcheng, why are you here?" ”

Lu Jingcheng waited patiently for a long time, and when he saw her, he said, "I finally came back to accompany you earlier, but you are not at home." Tell me to wait a while. ”

Shang Yucheng was busy apologizing while opening the door, "I'm really sorry." I needed to read a foreign book to prepare for class, so I went out to look for it. I didn't expect you to come back so early today. ”

"I came back early today to go out to dinner with you, and live a world of two." Lu Jingcheng said with a smile, "Xia Fei Road has opened a new Western restaurant, I heard that it was opened by a very famous French chef. How about a taste together? ”

"It's really an honor for you to come to accompany me, how can I be willing to refuse?" Shang Yucheng put down his handbag with a smile, "You wait for me, I'll go change my clothes." ”

With that, Shang Yucheng walked towards the room.

Lu Jingcheng sat down on the sofa and picked up the book on the table, an original English book of Agatha Christie's "The Mist".

Although Lu Jingcheng has studied in the United States for a few years, he really didn't put too much effort into studying, although his English is good, he is limited to chatting and writing letters. He flipped through a few pages, then put the book down again, got up and walked to the window to look out.

Shang Yucheng casually took out a dress from the closet and put it on his body, and pulled up his long hair. He took out a pearl necklace from the jewelry box on the table and wrapped it around his slender jade neck, and turned to pick up high heels.

When Shang Yucheng got dressed and walked out of the room, Lu Jingcheng was standing at the window, looking thoughtfully at the magnificent mansion of the Lu family not far from the window.

Shang Yucheng's footsteps paused, and he walked over with a smile again, "What are you looking at?" ”

Lu Jingcheng turned his head when he heard the voice, "It's nothing." He looked Shang Yucheng up and down with admiration, "Okay?" ”

Shang Yucheng nodded.

"Let's go." Lu Jingcheng took Shang Yucheng's hand, and the two went out together.
