Chapter 139: Chapter 139 My Daughter Adores You

"You said that, not me."

Chen Ziyang chuckled, "I’m just a barefoot doctor from the countryside, not a detective, and I can’t solve cases either."

Shen Minghai then realized that although Chen Ziyang seemed honest and straightforward, he was actually quite shrewd.

Chen Ziyang continued, "But I’m really curious, from the two meetings I’ve had with that mother and daughter, I could never have imagined them using Hundred Flowers and Grasses to harm someone!"

Shen Minghai’s gaze sharpened!

Those words were almost the same as what his father, Shen Wanlin, had said!

"If you said they’d used arsenic or pesticides, I might believe that, but Hundred Flowers..."

Chen Ziyang shook his head, "Even if they thought of it, it’s not so easy to get their hands on that stuff!"

Chen Ziyang never mentioned Qiao Xiongtai in his words, but the implications toward Shen Minghai were clear that the man behind the curtain could very well be Qiao Xiongtai.

Shen Minghai stared deeply at Chen Ziyang for a long moment, then suddenly said in a low voice, "I understand what you mean, President Chen."

Chen Ziyang just smiled.

Shen Minghai pondered for a moment, "When I came over today, I heard that you had some conflict with He Yongsheng from Alcohol Street?"

"You’re well informed!"

Chen Ziyang was taken aback.

Since Shen Minghai had heard about it, it would mean Qiao Xiongtai was probably also informed.

This was the effect he wanted.

"Do you need my help to deal with it?"

Shen Minghai offered again, "My words still carry weight with He Yongsheng! I can go and give him a piece of my mind!"

"No need, I can handle my own matters."

Chen Ziyang stood up, "Mr. Shen, I saved your family’s old master, and you gave me a factory. Strictly speaking, we’re even now."

Shen Minghai frowned.

His father had made it clear.

If Chen Ziyang’s character was confirmed to be good, then he must try to bring him and Shen Jiayi together!

But now, Chen Ziyang’s attitude was clearly very detached, showing no interest in getting involved with the Shen family.

Shen Minghai felt secretly frustrated. Since when had the Shen family offered a hand of friendship and been spurned?

Even more, he had to wrack his brains on how to practically push his daughter onto Chen Ziyang!

"Is there anything else, Mr. Shen?"

"No trouble, President Chen, I’ll excuse myself for now!"

As Shen Minghai reached the door, he hesitated for a moment, then turned back to say, "By the way, President Chen, you’ve met my daughter Jiayi. These past few days, she keeps talking about you. I wonder when you might have time to meet with her?"

"Talking about me?"

Chen Ziyang said with a bitter smile, "Is she cursing me?"

He vividly remembered Shen Jiayi’s spoiled behavior.

"How could that be? President Chen, you just don’t understand the mind of a girl," Shen Minghai chuckled. "Jiayi was standoffish and cold toward you previously because she was bashful, trying to gain your attention in that way! I can see it, as a father— that girl admires you greatly!"

Chen Ziyang listened to these words without much consideration.

He wasn’t foolish. How could he not see that Shen Minghai was trying to play matchmaker?

Seeing that Chen Ziyang was not engaging, Shen Minghai had no choice but to excuse himself first.

Having acquired a factory, Chen Ziyang felt very pleased.

As for Qiao Xiongtai, since he intended to use someone else to do his dirty work, it meant that at least for now, he would not personally confront Chen Ziyang.

So Chen Ziyang planned to play a trick with He Yuxin, making Qiao Xiongtai believe his scheme had succeeded.

By the time Qiao Xiongtai realized things weren’t right, Shen Minghai should have nearly uncovered the truth behind the old master’s poisoning.

By then, Qiao Xiongtai, being held accountable by the Shen family, would hardly have the resources to deal with Chen Ziyang.

Just as Chen Ziyang was about to contact He Yuxin to ask how she intended to proceed, his phone rang first.

The caller was Yang Muxue.

"Sister Xue?"

Chen Ziyang was instantly worried.

However, the voice of Yang Muxue on the phone was filled with resentment.

"Stinky little brother! Last time in the office, you left me in such a mess, and now you just ditch me?"

Yang Muxue was obviously angry, "Don’t you even want to know what surprise I’ve prepared for you?"
