Chapter 168: Proceed with Caution
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
i Shu stared at Lu Si for a while, then suddenly leaned in closer, lowering her voice as she asked, “What did you do to i Mu?”
Lu Si smiled approvingly and looked at her closely, her fluffy head just an inch away from his chest. He suddenly had the urge to reach out and touch her hair. It must be very soft to the touch, right?
Thinking like this, he felt a bit itchy in his hands. He coughed lightly as if unintentionally and turned his head slightly before saying, “Yes, she had a surveillance cara in that room, so I deleted any evidence that could be used against you.”
“Thank you,” i Shu curled her eyes and retreated to her seat, quietly sitting down.
The sweet fragrance in front of him suddenly moved away.
Lu Si’s disappointnt was evident, and even his thin lips were pressed into a straight line.
However, i Shu didn’t notice the subtle change in his expression.
She was calculating sothing else.
It was unquestionable that Lin Feng had been manipulated by i Mu to do what he did. But why had Zhang Jiao gone to that room?
Did he have ulterior motives, or had he also fallen victim to ATei Mu’s deception?
She didn’t know the reasons.
But one thing was certain: Zhang Jiao was not innocent.
In her previous life, she had suffered so much because of him, so she considered this a small payback.
They returned to the i family’s residence, and it was already midnight.
i Yun had intended to thank Lu Si properly, but considering the late hour, he could only express his gratitude and make plans to visit the Lu family tomorrow.
Lu Si didn’t respond, only turned his head and smiled gently at i Shu.
i Yun imdiately understood and smiled, saying, “Of course, Shu Er will also go to express her gratitude in person. She should go and thank you in person.”
“Good,” Lu Si replied, satisfied, and drove away.
Although it seed like the storm had subsided, the undercurrents were still flowing beneath the surface.
i Mu watched the surveillance footage she had recorded on her computer and was imdiately filled with despair.
Lin Feng was a petty man, and he would definitely not let this incident slide and she would be dood.
However, another dark idea crossed her mind.
If she used this video to threaten Lin Feng, she might be able to gain the support of the entire Lin family in the future.
She had already lost her father’s support, and if she could get the Lin family to stand behind her, dealing with i Shu would be a piece of cake!
With this in mind, i Mu quickly wiped away her tears and tried to edit the video to remove any evidence of i Shu being in the room.
However, when she went back to check the video, she was stunned to find that i Shu had mysteriously disappeared from the surveillance footage!
She couldn’t believe her eyes and refreshed the video multiple tis, but the result remained the sa.
i Shu had vanished as if she had never been in the room, as if everything she had seen earlier was just an illusion.
But i Shu had clearly entered the room with Lin Feng, and she had even seen Lin Feng about to succeed in grabbing i Shu into his arms. How could she suddenly disappear from the video?
A chilling sense of fear welled up from the depths of her heart.
She forced herself to calm down quickly and tremblingly dialed Lin Feng’s phone number.
However, all she got was a busy tone.
Without being able to contact Lin Feng, she couldn’t verify what had really happened tonight.
Panicking, she hesitated for a mont before making a decision to call i Yun.
It was already late at night, and Wang Yue was sorting out the clothes i Yun had just taken off. The phone on the table suddenly rang, startling her.
i Yun, who was showering in the bathroom, heard the ringtone and turned off the shower. He asked from behind the bathroom door, “Who’s calling?”
After the major incident tonight, he was worried about missing any important information that could be detrintal to the i family.
Wang Yue checked the caller ID and then eagerly brought the phone to him. “It’s our daughter calling. She must miss you. Do you want to talk to her?”
It turned out to be i Mu.
i Yun’s expression turned cold as soon as i Mu was ntioned.
“I’m tired. If she has sothing to say, she can wait until tomorrow,” he replied impatiently.
Wang Yue felt wronged but persisted, “Honey, our daughter has always been very polite. If she’s calling this late, it must be sothing urgent. If you don’t answer her call, what if sothing happens to her?”
i Yun was annoyed, but he couldn’t resist his wife’s persuasion. He reluctantly put on a bathrobe and ca out to answer the phone.
For i Shu, the fact that her father was willing to answer her call even in this situation was a source of great joy.
i Mu first exchanged pleasantries with i Yun and inquired about his recent health. Sensing the exhaustion in his voice, she quickly shifted the conversation back to tonight’s events. “Dad, I heard there was a major incident at Mr. Zhang’s birthday party tonight. I’m worried about you and my sister. Mr. Zhang and our family have a good relationship, and I’m afraid this might affect you both.”
Hearing i Mu’s words, i Yun imdiately recalled the repulsive expression on Zhang Jiao’s face as he slandered i Shu tonight. He sneered and said, “He’s trying to shift the bla onto us, but those actions were all his own doing. He can’t bla anyone else.”
i Mu’s heart skipped a beat upon hearing her father’s response.. She cautiously probed further, “So, Dad, are you and my sister both safe tonight?”
