Chapter 153: Getting Shen Xun's Phone to Find Evidence

Shen Xi's words were like two bolts of thunder, striking both Mother Shen and Shen Xun on the head at the same time.

In an instant, they seemed unable to hear the hallway sounds, with only Shen Xi's few words echoing in their ears.

The incident where Jiang Lai was drugged and almost slept with someone, Lin Shutong also participated in.

The medicine was recommended to Shen Xi by Lin Shutong.

The man was also found by Lin Shutong…

Shen Xun's gaze became dazed, his lips slightly open in surprise, the palms hanging at his sides growing colder and beginning to tremble slightly.

"Say that again…" his voice became very soft, as if all his strength had been drained at that moment, his heart aching from being squeezed dry.

Shen Xun recalled the room flooded with cold water that night.

He recalled Jiang Lai's pallid face, covered in fine sweat from her utter weakness.

Her clothing was thin, as if a breeze could knock her over.

His first reaction was anger—angry that she was walking with Ke Zhongyu, angry that she had misunderstood his sister Shen Xi.

It turned out not to be a misunderstanding…

It was also a misunderstanding.

He had misunderstood the true culprit.

It was actually Shutong.

How could it be Shutong?

Mother Shen looked at her stimulated son and lightly patted her daughter's arm.

"Why are you only saying this now? If you had said back then that Lin Shutong did it, why would your father have needed to look for someone? Why would you have had to stay cooped up in there for so long!"

"I was deceived by her at the time." Shen Xi also regretted deeply, "She kept telling me that if she became my sister-in-law, she would send me abroad to study, and she usually bought me so many things—what has Jiang Lai ever bought for me? I thought she was fine back then, suitable to be my sister-in-law. I knew early on that the money she spent on our family came from my brother's hand, so I wouldn't be fooled by her."

"Brother, I absolutely didn't deceive you this time. I admit that making you see Jiang Lai's infidelity and then proactively divorcing her was my idea, but buying the medicine, administering it, and finding the man were all told to me by Lin Shutong."

"Even how to let Jiang Lai drink my spiked liquor without suspicion, she taught me step by step. I thought it was too troublesome, but she said I needed to lower Jiang Lai's guard; otherwise, I usually don't get along with Jiang Lai, and suddenly speaking less and letting her eat would definitely raise suspicion."

Mother Shen heard this and her vision went black.

"Son, I can guarantee you, your sister really doesn't have that kind of mind."

"Our whole family has been deceived by Lin Shutong, including you. Look at yourself since you've been involved with Lin Shutong—has anything gone smoothly?"

"Money's gone, the project's gone, even Jiang Lai is gone!"

Money, career, women—the three major things in a man's life—have all suffered setbacks.

Shen Xun was deeply struck.

Especially his mother's last words—"Jiang Lai is also gone"—deeply stabbed him.

Money can be re-earned, a career can restart, but if Jiang Lai divorces him, can they still reconcile?

Even the woman who substituted for Jiang Lai in class said, Jiang Lai's heart must be completely dead, otherwise she wouldn't be so silently gone.

Shen Xun has always felt that the thing he owes Jiang Lai most is marrying her but never touching her.

Jiang Lai wanted a child, but he was stingy and refused to give her one.

Not touching her himself, yet almost letting a stranger touch her because of him.

Shen Xun's eyes turned blood-red.

"Brother, use this to threaten Lin Shutong—if she doesn't spit out the money you've spent on her these years, I'll go testify! I'll make her eat prison food! Even prison food requires paying back the money!"

Shen Xi felt no guilt toward Jiang Lai, only a craving for money.

Three million per month…

If she got it back, how moist her life would be.

How extravagant her meetings with friends would be—who would dare to speak sarcastically to her?

Saying her brother basically doesn't love this sister of his, otherwise why would he be reluctant to give her money to spend?

Shen Xi seemed to vent her anger, her face showing a smug expression; just as she was about to laugh, pulling at her own face caused a pang of pain.

Her brother's slap really landed solidly.

It's all Lin Shutong's fault, making her brother's heart be blinded by lard.

"Mom, my face hurts to death, quickly take me to see a doctor."

"Okay, okay, okay." Mother Shen supported her daughter as she took a step forward, then suddenly turned back, asking her son to hand over his phone.

"My phone is off, give me your phone so I can pay later."

Actually she still had that bit of money, but she was so angry at her brother for slapping her over Lin Shutong that she thought he should pay.

So she didn't mention that she had her phone on her.

Shen Xun also realized his mistake, looking at the clear slap mark on his sister's face, he passed over the card.

"No need for the card." Mother Shen refused, still wanting the phone.

Shen Xi looked puzzled: "Why not take the card, just treat it as brother's compensation for me."

"Don't keep taking your brother's money—how much does he have left? If we also take his money, what's the difference between us and that scoundrel Lin Shutong?"

If we are to spend, it should be to recoup the money Lin Shutong has spent over the years on her son.

So she wants to find evidence in the phone.

Shen Xun looked at his mother, who was thinking of him, and without further thought handed over his phone, also stating the payment password.

Shen Xi, who originally didn't need to apply medicine, was now sitting before the doctor, wailing loudly.

Mother Shen stood aside, began checking her son's phone, searching for any intimate photos.

After finishing the album, none?

She didn't believe it, so she flipped through again.

Could it be that her son never once had relations with Lin Shutong? Is that scientific?

Maybe it's hidden in a private space, but she doesn't know the password to that private space.

If intimate photos can't be found, then look for intimate terms of address.

Mother Shen opened her son's chat app, immediately saw Lin Shutong's name, clicked in, and searched for terms like 'baby', 'babe', 'wife'.

None?

No, what on earth is going on with her son?

Does he not like Lin Shutong spending so much money on her?

Does he like Lin Shutong but still keep boundaries?

What's going on, wavering left and right?

On the contrary, searching Jiang Lai's chat logs yields many instances of the word 'wife'.

Mother Shen herself was speechless.

"Mom, what have you been looking for on Brother's phone all this time?" Shen Xi inadvertently glanced up and saw her mother furrowing her brows while flipping through the phone.

Mother Shen, without lifting her head, said: "I'm checking the balance; I didn't find it, but I'll find it now."

She clicked in to take a look.

The wallet in the chat app had less than twenty thousand, with some change.

Her money is even more than her son's!

As the president of a technology company, he has less than twenty thousand in his pocket?

Mother Shen's legs went weak, and she almost couldn't stand.

It should be in the bank card.

Right.

But this is too exaggerated—how could it be less than twenty thousand?

"Mom, my brother wouldn't be completely broke, would he?" Shen Xi endured the pain, lifted her hand, and gently fanned her own face to feel a bit better.

Mother Shen: "……Almost the same as having no money at all."

She must find evidence to let Jiang Lai sue Lin Shutong!

Check the transfer records!

Mother Shen began checking in a chat app and a payment app respectively.

Now everything is real-name registered; she doesn't believe she can't find anything.

Even if each entry is just a few thousand or ten thousand, she will record them all.

As she was recording, a message from Lin Shutong popped up.

【Ah Xun, where are you? I've fixed it.】

Mother Shen spat and said: "I'll see how you explain to my son the matter of Jiang Lai's herbal medicine later."
