The small table seemed to be divided into two by an invisible dividing line.
Jiang Fengmian and Shen Qiaoran were on the same side, chatting animatedly.
Xiao Jue and Shen Qiaochen on the other side were silent. They both lowered their eyes to themselves, not knowing what they were thinking.
After an unknown amount of time, Nan Zhu hurriedly pushed the door open and saw such a scene.
He was stunned for a moment, his handsome face looking thoughtful.
Unlike Nan Xing, Nan Zhu did not deliberately step lightly when he stepped forward.
So, when he walked in front of everyone, several people at the table also raised their heads.
"Nan Zhu has met the master, Mr. Shen, and the fourth lady." Nan Zhu cupped his fists and said.
Jiang Fengmian couldn't help but jump angrily when he saw that Nanzhu was paying tribute to all three of them, but he was the only one left.
"Hey Nanzhu, didn't you see that I am here?"
Nan Zhu has a lively temperament and is not as taciturn as Nan Xing. In addition, he and Jiang Fengmian have known each other for a long time and have always been used to being casual.
So what Jiang Fengmian said now was just a joke, and he didn't really mean to blame Nan Zhu.
Nan Zhu looked at Jiang Fengmian with a half-smile, and it was written clearly in his eyes: Do you want me to call you 'the host' here?
Then his eyes glanced in the direction of Shen Qiao and Shen's brother and sister, intentionally or unintentionally.
Some words are really inappropriate to say at this time.
So when Jiang Fengmian saw his actions, he didn't say anything more, just laughed and cursed a few times.
Xiao Jue was not interested in the banter between the two of them, and just said lazily:
"how?"
When Nan Zhu saw this, he didn't care about joking with Jiang Fengmian. He straightened his expression and was about to say something when he realized that brother and sister Shen Qiao and Shen were also here.
Then there was a pause.
Shen Qiaochen was always keen on observing words and expressions. When he realized Nan Zhu's hesitation, he knew that Nan Zhu must have something important to tell Xiao Jue.
At this time, her and Shen Qiaoran's existence was obviously inappropriate.
So she smiled softly and said, "Third brother, I have something to tell you."
With that said, he wanted to pull Shen Qiaoran up and leave.
Although Shen Qiaoran has a wild temper, he is not stupid.
Even though he was still a little confused when he was pulled up by Shen Qiaochen at first, he also reacted at this time, nodded to the remaining three people, and wanted to turn around and leave with Shen Qiaochen.
Unexpectedly, before the two brothers and sisters could get up and leave, Xiao Jue said calmly:
"It doesn't matter."
Shen Qiao paused and looked back at Xiao Jue.
The young man in black looked up lazily and said:
"This matter... has something to do with you. What, don't you want to hear it?"
Things related to her...
Thinking of something, Shen Qiaochen sat back down again.
Is there any other thing related to her tonight that is worthy of Xiao Jue sending someone to investigate.
Don't want to hear it? How could you not want to hear it?
It just so happened that Shen Qiaochen also wanted to know whether the person Xiao Jue found was the same person as he guessed.
Seeing that Xiao Qiao was not ready to leave for some reason, and heard Xiao Jue say that this matter seemed to have something to do with Xiao Qiao.
Shen Qiaoran immediately stopped getting up and sat back in the chair like Shen Qiaochen.
…
Seeing that Xiao Jue had no intention of letting the Shen brothers and sisters avoid him, Nan Zhu naturally no longer hesitated.
"Back to the master, my subordinates have found out that the person who held the fourth girl hostage tonight should be related to Zuo Xiang's mansion."
"Should?" Xiao Jue said lightly.
Xiao Jue said just two words casually, and there was no difference on his face. But when Nan Zhu heard it, his expression changed and his pressure suddenly increased.
So he immediately put away his previous relaxed attitude and said seriously:
"The people who followed first are back, and my subordinates have also asked them carefully, and finally confirmed their suspicions."
Having said this, he paused for a moment and looked in Shen Qiaochen's direction intentionally or unintentionally, as if he didn't know whether he should continue speaking in front of her.
Unexpectedly, before Xiao Jue could speak, Shen Qiaochen asked softly:
"What guess?"
The girl's voice was light and soft, and her glazed eyes were full of confusion, as if she was just curious about what Nan Zhu had to say about this matter.
Looking at these eyes and thinking of the news sent back by the people who had just been sent out, Nan Zhu felt that it was extremely difficult to say the words in his mouth.
Xiao Jue glanced at Shen Qiaochen and said, "Continue."
His master had already spoken, and Nan Zhu had no choice but to reply:
"After the master left before, Lou...his subordinate also personally led his people to follow him."
Shen Qiaochen was listening attentively, and naturally heard Nan Zhu's pause when he said a certain word.
She looked at the other person without blinking, but she was thoughtful in her heart.
Nan Zhu's voice continued to ring in his ears.
"Those people put the four girls on the float, and then dispersed and mixed in the crowd. Although they were inconspicuous, they always surrounded the float and followed the flow of people."
"Fortunately, we focused on them early, otherwise it would be really difficult to find their whereabouts."
Shen Qiaochen nodded secretly. There were a lot of people going out to look at the lights tonight. If he dressed up like ordinary people and blended in with the crowd looking at the lights, it would be difficult to spot him.
Then she unconsciously felt lucky again. Fortunately, Xiao Jue found her in time. If it had been later, she might have really planned to take advantage of the surrounding lights to jump off the float according to what she thought at the time. .
If this is the case, I am afraid that I will fall into the trap of the people behind it and be caught by them.
If they expose her identity on the spot, even if she refuses to admit it, if some people add fuel to the fire, her reputation will be completely ruined.
She didn't care about her reputation, but if it brought harm to the Shen family, Shen Qiaochen would never tolerate it.
From this we can also see the evil thoughts of the people behind it.
Shen Qiaochen had talked about these things with Ji Qingyuan before. Mr. Ji also said at that time that the person who planned this matter may not really want to destroy Shen Qiaochen. His ultimate purpose was to test Shen Qiaochen. The Shen family after Qiao Chen's death.
Shen Qiaochen also agreed with this point.
But there are some things that she has not mentioned to Mr. Ji, and naturally Mr. Ji will not know about them.
Even if Shen Qiaochen refuses to admit her identity as a Shen girl in front of everyone, someone else will definitely appear and try their best to prove it.
No matter what, her identity as the legitimate daughter of the Shen family will be confirmed on the spot.
The reason why that person helped Zuo Xiang's people complete tonight's kidnapping plan was not just to help them test the Shen family.
On the contrary, from the beginning to the end, it was Shen Qiaochen who that person wanted to target.
Thinking of this, Shen Qiaochen raised the corners of her lips in a self-deprecating manner. She had already guessed the identity of that person.
Shen Qiaochen was not able to understand their purpose until he was reborn.
In her previous life, she regarded them as her closest sisters and elders, and planned everything for them.
But it ultimately grew their appetite and ambition.
Do it again, they are still so vicious.
Anyway, in that case, let's see if their oriole can dodge her shotgun this time.
After all, experiencing the story of the farmer and the snake once is enough.
