Chapter 233: Chapter 233 Disaster, Discovered

"Boss!" Hang Mushan came in with Yan Yi, all smiles, waving at her in greeting.

Feng Jiao, seated beside Shen Yanhe, discreetly sized up Hang Mushan and Yan Yi.

Once she ascertained neither posed a threat, she continued to lean lazily against Shen Yanhe.

Hang Mushan glanced at Feng Jiao, thinking she looked familiar but not recognizing her, before sitting down with Yan Yi across from Shen Yanhe.

Yan Yi showed his respect to Shen Yanhe, saying, "Miss Shen, I’m afraid we have to trouble you."

"You pay, I work—no trouble at all," Shen Yanhe replied, pulling a white medicine bottle from her pocket as she spoke.

She placed the bottle on the table, her slender fingertips pushing it toward Yan Yi.

Yan Yi’s eyes flickered, excitement evident on his face as he looked at the white bottle: "Miss Shen, this is...?"

"Antidote."

Shen Yanhe was succinct and startling: "There are ten pills inside, take two daily, on an empty stomach in the morning and evening."

"You’ll experience significant detox symptoms after taking it, but don’t worry too much. If you faint, call me, and I’ll come immediately."

Yan Yi carefully put away the bottle, nodding seriously.

He looked at Shen Yanhe and asked, "I don’t suppose you have some time today, Miss Shen? I’d like to invite you to a meal."

Feng Jiao, who had been silent until then, perked up at the mention of food, her round eyes instantly lighting up. She stretched out her hand, tugging at the hem of Shen Yanhe’s clothes, gazing at her with eager eyes.

Shen Yanhe intended to refuse, but upon meeting Feng Jiao’s hopeful gaze, she paused before nodding slightly, "I’m free, let’s go."

The four of them got up and took a car to Shufang Pavilion.

Yan Yi had reserved the most expensive private room at Shufang Pavilion, and the dishes served were all specialties of the establishment.

After pouring a glass of water for Shen Yanhe and Feng Jiao, Hang Mushan looked at Feng Jiao curiously and asked, "Boss, this lady is...?"

The more he looked at her, the more familiar she seemed.

As if he had seen her somewhere before.

"She’s my distant cousin, Feng Jiao," Shen Yanhe said without batting an eyelid.

Hang Mushan, who had been mainly operating overseas recently, inevitably came across the people from 094.

Although the higher-ups of 094 tend to disguise themselves and use code names instead of their real names when out in public,

to avoid the hassle of being recognized, she still created an identity for Feng Jiao.

Feng Jiao gave Hang Mushan a sweet smile, "Hello, my name is Feng Jiao."

"Cousin, hello cousin! I’m Hang Mushan, you can just call me Brother Mushan," Hang Mushan said, grinning and getting chummy with Feng Jiao once he heard her explanation, not doubting for a second.

This was the first time the Boss had brought a relative to him.

He had to make a good impression.

"Cousin, hello. My name is Yan Yi." Yan Yi also smiled faintly at Feng Jiao and took out a card from his wallet, handing it to her: "This is a little welcome gift for you."

Feng Jiao’s eyes sparkled, and she cheerfully accepted the card from Yan Yi’s hand, her voice crisp and sweet, "Thank you, Brother Yan Yi~"

Hang Mushan’s mouth twitched slightly: "..."

This love for money was exactly like the Boss’s.

As the group bantered, the waiter brought the dishes to the table.

Feng Jiao’s attention instantly shifted to the food, and she began to eat with gusto.

While serving Shen Yanhe dishes, Hang Mushan asked her, "Boss, did you see the news online?"

Shen Yanhe responded indifferently with a hum.

"I didn’t expect Fu Yanhe to have hidden his cards so well, to think he’s also the Executive Director of FY Corporation in Daxia. I underestimated him before," Hang Mushan remarked.

"I used to think that kid wasn’t worthy of you, Boss, but now I think he’s, at the very least, barely worthy. It wouldn’t be a loss for you to marry him."

A caught-off-guard Shen Yanhe: "..."

Feng Jiao, who had been intently eating a chicken leg, paused. She slowly raised her head and looked at Hang Mushan: "Marry? Who is Yanyan marrying?"

Hang Mushan was momentarily baffled by her question and replied without thinking, "Huh? Don’t you know? The Boss married Fu Yanhe."

Shen Yanhe: "..."

Oh no.

It’s over.

Feng Jiao’s hand, holding a chicken leg, tightened slightly as she turned her head to look straight at Shen Yanhe, with a big "solve" written in her left eye and a big "explain" in her right eye.

Just as Shen Yanhe was about to speak, her cell phone rang.

Without changing her expression, she answered the call, "Hello?"

The official voice of the police came through, "Miss Shen, we have found you to be related to a murder case. Please come to the police station now."

Shen Yanhe’s eyes darkened slightly.

A murder case?

Upon this thought, she remembered the matter of Su Lan hiring a hitman to commit murder.

Shen Yanhe, "OK, I will come right away."

Hang Mushan looked at her with confusion, "Boss, where are you going?"

Shen Yanhe got up, "The police are looking for me, I need to go to the police station."

It had to be said, the timing of the call was impeccable.

She hadn’t yet thought of an excuse to fool Feng Jiao.

Hang Mushan froze, "The police station?"

Yan Yi frowned slightly and asked with concern, "Miss Shen, do you need my help?"

Feng Jiao stuffed the chicken leg into her mouth and quickly rose to her feet, "Yanyan, I’ll go with you."

"No need. I can handle it myself. You guys continue eating," Shen Yanhe pressed her slender index finger against Feng Jiao’s forehead and pushed her back into her seat, "The food has been ordered, we can’t waste it."

Feng Jiao frowned, "But..."

"Don’t worry, I’m not that weak," Shen Yanhe comforted her by patting her on the shoulder.

She then took out her phone and sent Feng Jiao the address of the villa, saying, "Once you finish eating, come find me here."

"I’ll explain it to you later."

In half a minute, Feng Jiao was clearly instructed and could only nod obediently, "Alright, if you’re in danger, call me immediately, and I’ll come to protect you."

Shen Yanhe smiled lightly and hummed a response.

Yan Yi stood up, "Miss Shen, do you need me to drive you there?"

Shen Yanhe shook her head slightly, declining Yan Yi’s offer, and turned to leave, "No need, someone will take me. You guys enjoy your meal."

-

Just after leaving Shu Fang Pavilion, Shen Yanhe contacted Si Fang, who was waiting for her in the parking lot, asking him to bring the car around.

She stood by the roadside waiting.

She had been standing for less than half a minute when she felt a strong gaze on her.

Shen Yanhe’s eyes flickered slightly, she took out her phone, opened the camera, and switched to selfie mode, pretending to take photos of herself.

She subtly moved her hand upward.

The screen showed the scene behind her.

A few men with tattooed arms stood about two meters away from her side and back.

They appeared to be holding something in their hands, occasionally looking up at her, confirming something.

One of the men looked familiar to her.

It was the same young man who had spoken rudely to her at the MX underground boxing ring while he was fighting with A Yong.

She hadn’t expected them to actually come looking for her.

A hint of complexity flashed in Shen Yanhe’s eyes as she turned off the camera mode on her phone and walked toward a small alley opposite the street.

"Hey, hey, she’s running away!" The young man from the MX boxing ring who had been rude to Shen Yanhe saw her walking away and quickly called out, "She must have spotted us! Chase her!"

"If we don’t catch her this time, the boss won’t let us off easily!"
