Chapter 107: Investigating Ning Chu and Dong Shu

The others didn't hear clearly what Zhu Yuan and Sheng Yu were saying, but Situ heard it perfectly; all those images of doting and coaxing in the eyes of others were just a lie.

The moment the door opened, he subconsciously lowered his head, his peripheral vision only catching Zhu Yuan being pulled into Sheng Yu's arms.

There was clear shame and anger on Zhu Yuan's face, yet she gritted her teeth and took a deep breath, forcing herself to swallow her rage.

Sheng Yu watched her masterclass in changing expressions with composure, a smile staining his eyes. "No wonder you can make a living as an actress."

Their bodies were pressed tightly together, still carrying the damp scent of a shower—not the sticky feeling from before in the bathroom, but a refreshing, slightly ambiguous scent of the same body wash.

Zhu Yuan thought of everything he had done to her inside, and her legs went weak.

She knew too well how astonishing his stamina was in this regard, and fearing he hadn't been satisfied yet, she hurriedly preempted him: "You promised me before that you would let me go."

Although his exact words were: Cooperate nicely, and I'll let you go in a while.

"You believe what a man says in bed?" Sheng Yu tightened his hand around her waist.

Zhu Yuan risked it all for her freedom, saying with a flushed face: "Words in bed aren't trustworthy, but that was on the sofa just now."

She was sitting on the man's lap, and the posture of being held in his arms made her want to scream several times, only to be either gagged by his hand or sealed by a kiss.

"You have so many twisted theories." The mischievous smile in Sheng Yu's eyes deepened.

He stroked Zhu Yuan's soft hair, stared at her face, and said in a low voice: "Take the Medicine before you go back."

Lest she remember and go off to take some random, real emergency contraceptive herself.

But these words caused the temperature of Zhu Yuan's heart to plummet; she quickly shifted her gaze, pretending to be nonchalant as she gave a hum.

She wanted to ask if they could use protection in the future, as she didn't want to take medicine anymore and affect her health, but the words died on her lips and she held them back.

How could Sheng Yu ever listen to her?

If a man truly cherishes a woman, he wouldn't let her take those things.

Doctor Qiao Mai personally delivered the Medicine, and as Zhu Yuan watched this scene, she felt Doctor Qiao Mai looked exactly like the head eunuch delivering contraceptive soup to a concubine after she had been favored by the Emperor in ancient times.

She grabbed the Medicine, threw it into her mouth, and gulped down a mouthful of water to swallow it.

"Can I go now?" Her tone was normal, even carrying a sense of urgency to leave this place, without the slightest bit of sadness or annoyance over taking the medicine.

Sheng Yu frowned, and the next second, Zhu Yuan turned and walked out.

He darkened his face. "Situ."

"Yes, Young Master Yu."

Situ strode out with his long legs, caught up to Zhu Yuan's pace in a few steps, said something, and Zhu Yuan followed him toward the parking lot.

Sheng Yu withdrew his gaze. "Has the person at the Horse Racing Track been interrogated?"

"Interrogated, but the groom is problematic; his mouth is too tight, and we haven't gotten anything out of him yet," Enzo replied, standing by his side.

Sheng Yu adjusted his cuffs in a leisurely manner. "It's been an hour and a half."

A strong sense of oppression descended; Enzo felt a chill down his spine and lowered his head.

"If his mouth is tight, bleed him. Once he loses enough blood, he won't have the strength. How long can he keep his mouth shut?"

"Yes, Young Master Yu."

Enzo immediately headed toward the horse stables, but just as he had walked a few steps, he suddenly heard a gunshot.

Enzo's expression changed; he turned rapidly, shielded Sheng Yu behind him, and drew his pistol.

Doctor Qiao Mai, who had no strength to truss a chicken, also blocked the front of Sheng Yu.

"Did I ask you to block?" Sheng Yu's expression was cold and stern as he grabbed the two people in front of him and pulled them aside.

At this moment, a Bodyguard ran over from the direction of the stables with a grave expression. "Brother Enzo... Young Master Yu! Someone fired a shot and killed the groom; there's a sniper."

Enzo was startled and turned to look at the man beside him, whose brows and eyes were stained with a chilling, murderous aura.

"Young Master Yu, it seems someone really wants to make a move on Miss Zhu. But since the other party sent a sniper, they had many opportunities to make a move on Miss Zhu, so why did they only snipe the groom?"

As Enzo's voice fell, Doctor Qiao Mai also sensed a trace of unusual treachery.

Sheng Yu raised his eyes to scan the empty surroundings, his voice cold: "The other party doesn't just want Zhu Yuan's life; it's a plot to kill two birds with one stone."

Enzo's heart shook.

Only to hear Sheng Yu's voice grow increasingly icy: "If Zhu Yuan accidentally dies because of this, it would be best for them, but if Zhu Yuan is only injured, my actions will infinitely amplify the possibility of Zhu Yuan being exposed. Once the matter is revealed, they'll kill to silence the witness."

Qiao Mai frowned. "Then that rules out the possibility of the Chairman."

"Why do you say that?" Enzo asked.

Qiao Mai glanced at Sheng Yu and analyzed: "What impact would there be if Miss Zhu were exposed? It wouldn't cause major changes to her career or interpersonal relationships; the only threat to her would be the Chairman.

But if the Chairman already knew about the relationship between Miss Zhu and Young Master Yu, there would be no need to expose Miss Zhu. So that person wants to use the Chairman's hand to get rid of Miss Zhu. What a vicious scheme."

"But who would go through such a big circle to get rid of Miss Zhu? Such a person would only be someone with a direct conflict of interest regarding Miss Zhu."

Sheng Yu lit a cigarette, his gaze fierce. "Investigate Dong Shu and Ning Chu."

Although the sun was abundant during the day and the temperature rose, the air was cold as soon as night fell.

Even though the indoor heating was on, Ning Chu couldn't stop trembling all over.

The groom at the Horse Racing Track still hadn't given her any news.

She had gone to the theater in the afternoon and hadn't heard any news about Zhu Yuan being injured or having an accident; instead, she heard that Qi Jing's daughter had swapped horses with Zhu Yuan and nearly had an accident.

Zhu Yuan was fine...

Zhu Yuan actually had such a big life!

Since Qi Jing's child nearly had an accident, the Qi Family would definitely not let it go.

What to do, what should she do now!

Originally, if something happened to Zhu Yuan and Second Master Pei came to trouble her, she could beg Yu Ge, and Yu Ge would definitely save her for the sake of her sister.

But the key problem now was that Qi Qi had an accident; if the Qi Family took action, Yu Ge would absolutely not help her.

Suddenly, Ning Chu's phone rang.

She shuddered in fright; it was a text message sent from an unknown number—

"I know what you did, but rest assured, I have already taken care of the person for you."

Ning Chu's hand trembled, and the phone hit the floor.

Ding-dong—

"I have evidence of your transaction with the Horse Racing Track breeder. I heard that Second Master Pei is already discussing marriage with Zhu Yuan. If you harm his fiancée, how could he possibly let it go? When that time comes, even Sheng Yu won't be able to protect you."

Ning Chu's face turned deathly pale, her mind completely muddled. She grabbed the phone, her fingers trembling, and quickly typed a line on the screen: "What do you want?"

"You help me do one thing, and I will destroy the evidence. Then, no one will ever know what you have done."

Tears streamed down Ning Chu's face: "Why should I believe you?"

Ding-dong—

"Ning Chu, you have no choice."
