Chapter 805: Chapter 805: The Flower on the High Cliff Is Not for Everyone to Pick

"Chen Shu, it’s not even spring yet, why are you in such a hurry?"

When Chen Shu heard Shi Yaoguang’s words, he couldn’t help but show a pitiful expression, "Little Sister-in-law, how come you don’t understand me? Am I doing this for love? No!"

"I just want a partner!"

As he spoke, his lips pouted high, "You and my brother Jinbei are a couple, Old Jiu has that pig, only I’m left alone. Don’t you think I’m pitiful?"

"As long as you don’t feel pitiful, you’re not pitiful."

Chen Shu was silent.

After a while, he said, "But I feel pitiful."

Shi Yaoguang: "..."

There was no rebuttal.

Seeing how pitiful Chen Shu looked, Shi Yaoguang agreed to his request.

Helping him find a partner?

Not difficult.

Chen Shu was finally relieved.

The way he looked at Shi Yaoguang was no different from looking at a blessing goddess.

Quan Jinbei could only use a sharp gaze to make him calm down a bit.

Those who didn’t know might think he had some designs on his sister-in-law.

Chen Shu wasn’t thinking that much at the moment.

All he wanted was to prove that his guess was correct.

Only then would he have a partner.

Eh hehe.

Thinking of his cute girlfriend, he couldn’t help but show a foolish smile.

Jiu Yanchuan clicked his tongue, "You’re so lecherous, are you sure you won’t scare your girlfriend?"

Chen Shu pointed at his face, righteous and confident, "Ugly people are called lecherous, I am at most—"

"Cheap."

Shi Yaoguang helped to add.

Chen Shu instinctively agreed, "Little Sister-in-law is right!"

After he finished speaking, he realized what Shi Yaoguang had just said.

He immediately showed a bitter expression, "Little Sister-in-law, so in your eyes, I don’t deserve normal descriptions?"

"Then you say," Shi Yaoguang extended her hand and made a "please start your performance" gesture.

Chen Shu was dispirited.

If it were only him, he could boast a hundred rainbow-colored compliments without repeating.

But!

In front of Quan Jinbei and Jiu Yanchuan...

Though he was still quite handsome.

It somewhat lacked that flavor.

If he walked together with them...

Thirty percent of the letters would go to Quan Jinbei.

Sixty percent would go to Jiu Yanchuan.

Nine percent would ask him to pass on messages.

Only the remaining one percent might love him.

Just thinking about it hurt.

As for...

Quan Jinbei’s suitors weren’t as many as Jiu Yanchuan’s; would he feel sympathy for being in the same boat with Quan Jinbei?

Asking this question was quite foolish.

Nobody confessed to him because he was overshadowed by two colossal mountains.

Nobody confessed to Quan Jinbei because they didn’t dare.

A flower on a high cliff is not something everyone has the guts to pick.

Only Little Sister-in-law dares.

Thinking about it, besides Little Sister-in-law, he couldn’t think of anyone worthy of his brother Jinbei.

Chen Shu began to daydream upon thinking this.

Seeing him lost in thought, Shi Yaoguang and the others did not disturb him.

They let him be absorbed in his own world.

Jiu Yanchuan felt Chen Shu’s idea might not be reliable, while Shi Yaoguang thought Chen Shu might hit the mark.

No matter the situation, their task was simple.

To firmly stand by Quan Jinbei’s side.

Ensuring that no other issues arise.

That would be sufficient.

As for more...

No need to overthink.

Because—

Eventually, the opponent would present themselves.

And they would come soon.

After confirming they couldn’t find old photos of Song Jinghuan, they gave up.

Persisting would be futile; rather than wasting time, better to consider the next move of Dr. Song.

Dr. Song’s methods, from deliberately tainting the Quan Family, showed how straightforward and brutal he could be.

This time.

His tactics remained simple and brutal.

Earlier, he had NaNa attempt to kidnap Ye Nuannuan.

Song Jinghuan had already confirmed that Ye Nuannuan was Jiu Yanchuan’s girlfriend.

Originally, he was dealing with Quan Jinbei, unrelated to Jiu Yanchuan.

But... Jiu Yanchuan accidentally thwarted his plan.

Mistakes always come with consequences.

Since he couldn’t get to Quan Jinbei and his wife directly, he would target their associates.

When Jiu Yanchuan received Ye Nuannuan’s call for help, he was at the Quan Family.

"Ye Nuannuan is currently in my hands. If you don’t want her to get hurt, come to Qinglong Residential Area’s underground car park alone!"

The person on the other end added a threatening remark, "Your phone is infected with a virus. Everything you say or do is under my surveillance. For Ye Nuannuan’s safety, I advise you to carefully consider the consequences of your actions for her, and then act."

Hearing this, Jiu Yanchuan’s expression turned serious.

The person on the other end continued, "Now, immediately, set off!"

Then, Ye Nuannuan’s muffled voice came through, confirming she was indeed in his grip.

For Ye Nuannuan’s safety, Jiu Yanchuan didn’t dare waste any time and set off for Qinglong Residential Area.

As soon as Jiu Yanchuan left, Quan Jinbei and Shi Yaoguang wanted to follow.

However.

Their phones received calls simultaneously.

Using the same tactic.

But this time, the addresses mentioned were completely different.

Not the Qinglong Residential Area discussed with Jiu Yanchuan.

Obviously, the person deliberately wanted to keep them apart.

"I’ve given you the addresses. Ye Nuannuan is alone, but... I can’t guarantee her exact location. If you hesitate or guess incorrectly and she dies, don’t blame me."

With that, the call ended.

Although Ye Nuannuan was Jiu Yanchuan’s girlfriend, Shi Yaoguang and the others didn’t expect her to encounter any mishap, so they hadn’t equipped her with any locator.

Since the opponent intended to keep them searching separately, it was clear they wouldn’t let them find her easily.

Thus, the idea of tracking Ye Nuannuan was impractical.

Having no other choice, Shi Yaoguang and Quan Jinbei set off according to the instructions.

But before leaving, Shi Yaoguang and Quan Jinbei swapped phones and headed to each other’s originally designated locations.

Though unsure of the opponent’s plan, this added an extra layer of security.

...

An hour had passed since they received the calls.

By this time, the three people on their way received another call.

This time, the caller wasn’t their previous contact.

It was Chen Shu.

Chen Shu had gone out earlier, and upon returning, he learned about Shi Yaoguang’s rescue mission.

Initially, he wanted to accompany them, but unsure of his contribution, he decided to stay at the company to relay any news promptly. Surprisingly... his patience got results.
