Chapter 944: He told me to come find you

"Wait... so you're just going to let it go like that?"

Jin Dao scanned the group, his tone growing anxious. "Let me tell you, I've been running the streets since I was a kid; I've seen plenty of guys like this. They don't know the first thing about propriety or shame. They've been pent up in the club for so long without seeing any women that the moment they see you lot, their hearts are bound to be restless!"

"Guys like that, when they want to provoke or harass you, they don't care about the consequences. As long as the thought crosses their minds, they won't stop. You have to teach them a lesson!"

Jin Dao wasn't exaggerating. He had seen many such people—the social youths who spent their days drifting through streets, pool halls, and arcades. When they harassed women passing by, they did it as naturally as breathing, never considering anything but their own amusement.

Seeing how indignant he was, Shen Xing could only say softly, "I get what you mean, but I've already told my sister about this, and she said she'd handle it."

The moment Shen Xing mentioned his sister, Jin Dao's body stiffened visibly, and his expression froze.

Memories, distant but profound, surfaced in his mind, causing Jin Dao to swallow involuntarily. "Ah, your sister is going to handle it? Then never mind."

He lowered his head and eyes, heading straight for the kitchen. "I'm going to help Xiao Min wash the vegetables."

Watching his reaction, Shen Xing couldn't help but smile helplessly. Shi Jingming also leaned in and said, "Xing, Jin Dao is still as scared of your sister as ever. It seems that last incident left him with some indelible psychological trauma."

Shen Xing nodded, which piqued the curiosity of Bai Lianghe and the others. Bai Lianghe asked in a low voice, "Why? Why is Jin Dao afraid of Shen Xing's sister?"

Shi Jingming was about to expose Jin Dao's past, but Shen Xing reached out to stop him. "Forget it, it's in the past."

He had to save Jin Dao some face.

Shi Jingming understood and swallowed his words.

Bai Lianghe couldn't help but roll her eyes. "Boring."

It was nearly noon when Shen Ci finally rolled out of bed, lazily washing up and doing her skincare. When she went downstairs, she found the house quiet; there wasn't a soul around.

They must have gone out for a walk. Shen Ci entered the kitchen alone, and sure enough, there was lunch kept warm for her in the pot.

Just as she was about to turn on the stove, the video intercom by the door rang.

Shen Ci turned her head, her expression blank. Who would be visiting at noon?

She hurried to the door and answered. On the screen was the security guard from the front gate. "Ms. Shen, there's someone at the gate claiming to be looking for you. Should I let him in?"

"Who is it?" Shen Ci asked instinctively.

"He looks like a stranger. It's my first time seeing him." The guard opened the window of the booth and shouted to the person outside, "Hey, brother, what's your name?"

After two seconds, the guard spoke into the intercom again. "He says his name is Yan Wenxi."

Upon hearing this, Shen Ci's brows furrowed instantly, because she knew it was impossible.

Her brother was still undergoing reform; it hadn't been that long, so it was absolutely impossible for him to be out.

Then who was it?

Shen Ci was full of confusion, but in the end, she told the guard, "I'll be right there."

She changed her shoes, threw on a coat, grabbed Yoda, and headed toward the front gate.

Just as she reached the entrance, the security guard hurried over to meet her. "Ms. Shen."

"Where is he?"

"He's smoking under the tree outside." The guard looked worried. "Do you recognize the name you were given? He looks a bit fierce. If you don't know him well, you'd better stay inside the gate to talk to him."

A bit fierce?

Shen Ci blinked in surprise. She had originally thought it might be Yan Wentao, the younger brother of her brother, who had come looking for her. But if he was described as "fierce," then it definitely wasn't him.

Yan Wentao was more of a fool than anything else.
