Chapter 384

"Brother..."

Shen Ci looked at Yan Wenxi's appearance, which was like explaining his funeral arrangements, and the unease in her heart instantly reached its peak. Her heart suddenly accelerated.

But Yan Wenxi said to himself: "Don't worry, these private properties have already been investigated by the relevant departments, they are clean and have no problems. Brother won't implicate you, let alone harm you. Your sister-in-law doesn't understand anything, and she's pregnant now, so she's not good at dealing with many things. You take thirty percent of the subsequent profits from these private properties; Brother won't let you help for nothing."

"Brother, I don't lack this bit of money!" Shen Ci was anxious. She urgently needed to know the truth: "I just want to know what happened now. Why did you suddenly want to explain these things to me? Did—did you encounter any emergency situation?"

Seeing Shen Ci's sincere and urgent reaction, Yan Wenxi laughed instead.

It shows this younger sister really cares about him.

The two have not known each other for long, counting it up, it's been more than half a year, but the relationship between them is like real siblings, and this sibling relationship is not purely a superficial relationship bundled by interests.

Shen Ci really recognizes him as a brother.

And he also trusts this younger sister, which is why he entrusted all important things to her at this time.

"It doesn't matter, you don't have to worry, it's just that this time I must lower my head and go in for a period of time."

His tone was light, as if he were talking about a trivial matter.

"You called me that day to 'Loushang Huiguan' to eat, did you suddenly think of me?" Yan Wenxi changed the subject, mentioning the phone call a few days ago, and laughed: "You should have had a premonition in your heart, right? I also got the news that afternoon. The person taken away at 'Loushang Huiguan' that day was Wu Hai, the leader of a small gang."

Shen Ci's face was gloomy, and she didn't know what to say for a moment, only feeling that her heart was blocked, with a breath that couldn't go down or come up.

"Brother is not a good person. From the beginning, I was mentally prepared for this situation. I knew this day would come, so don't panic. I have a count in my heart, and it's not yet at the end of the road."

Shen Ci's eye sockets were already red.

"Brother, you..."

Shen Ci forcibly calmed down and wanted to say something, but as soon as she spoke, she was stopped by Yan Wenxi raising his hand.

Only then did Yan Wenxi slowly raise his hand and take off the sunglasses on his face. This was the first time Shen Ci saw him without sunglasses. There was a very deep scar in the center of his left eye, and that left eye was clearly a simulated eyeball.

The reason he always wore sunglasses to show people was clear at this moment.

"What I can explain to you and tell you is within the safety line. Don't ask about other things. If you ask, I won't say, because knowing these things won't do you any good. You and I have interests involved. I can't guarantee whether the police will find you for questioning in the future. What I can tell you is what you can safely say. I don't want you to say the wrong thing because of shielding me, that will implicate you, understand?"

"Brother..."

"You call me brother, I can't let you call it for nothing." Yan Wenxi took a deep breath and looked left and right at the people he brought today: "These people are the most loyal people under my hand, this is just a part..."

As he spoke, Yan Wenxi laughed himself: "Because the other part should be going in to keep me company."

"These people are clean, there are senior executives of the group, and managers of these private properties in my hands. Bringing them today is to let them recognize your appearance, so that you can mobilize them at any time when needed."

"A-Ci, I brought your sister-in-law to see you today, actually, I want to ask you to help me take good care of her and the child. My time may be running out. Brother also feels bad about throwing such a heavy burden on you, but to be honest, there are really not many people I can fully trust, but I trust you!"

After he finished speaking, he looked at Shen Ci. The artificial eyeball in his left eye had no temperature, but his right eye contained thick emotions.

There was guilt, gratitude, and laughter.

The doubts and guesses in Shen Ci's heart already had answers. She remembered calling her brother to make an appointment after seeing someone being taken away a few days ago.

In the first phone call, he said he was busy and had no time, but after hanging up, he called her back to make an appointment to meet today. He must have made up his mind to entrust his pregnant sister-in-law to her care at that time.

"Brother, don't worry, I will help you take good care of sister-in-law, and I will handle these things you entrusted to me properly." Shen Ci held back her tears, nodded and promised with a choked voice.

Yan Wenxi's mouth bloomed with a smile. He usually had no expression on his face. This was the first time Shen Ci saw him show such a big smile.

"Thank you."

Shen Ci ate this meal without tasting it, and her heart was even more mixed. Except for simply getting to know these people Yan Wenxi brought, Shen Ci's head and heart were always messy.

On the way back, Shen Ci sat in the car and opened the window to blow the cool night breeze, attempting to make herself clearer.

She looked at the prosperous night view of Longcheng and fell into a trance for a moment.

In this life, her trajectory had completely changed. The people and things she encountered were all things she had never thought of before, and Yan Wenxi was definitely the most special existence among them.

He was like a person in a movie, but more real than a person in a movie.

Film Academy Female Dormitory.

"Chuhan, are you having insomnia again?"

Shen Li opened her eyes early in the morning and saw Wang Chuhan leaning on the bed watching a drama. This had been the case for several days in a row. Wang Chuhan said she couldn't sleep.

The reason was none other than the audition for the crew last time. The role Wang Chuhan chose was indeed very competitive, but the casting director group didn't decide on a candidate on the spot, but pointed out the names of Wang Chuhan and another girl who also performed well, saying they would let them wait for news and notify them once the candidate was decided.

This was originally a good thing, indicating that Wang Chuhan had a great chance of winning the role.

But because of this, the expectation in her heart was instantly raised, and the result was in an unknown state, so Wang Chuhan suddenly fell into an anxious mood.

Insomnia all night, until she couldn't hold on during the day and could sleep, and then continued to have insomnia at night.

Vicious cycle.

"You're awake, A-Li."

After Shen Li got out of bed and came to the other party's bed, she looked at her worriedly and said: "You've stayed up so late that your face is white. This won't do!"

"I really can't sleep." Wang Chuhan had a dejected and pessimistic expression: "A-Li, it's been several days. Could it be that they already chose someone else? Just that I wasn't notified because I wasn't chosen?"

Shen Li was speechless, because it was indeed possible. The crew would only notify those who were chosen; they wouldn't specifically inform those who weren't.
