In the evening, Lu Si picked up i Shu from work.
The two went to a nearby restaurant for dinner.
While waiting for their food, i Shu intended to ntion her decision to go to Wendith.
However, Lu Si also seed like he had sothing to discuss with her.
i Shu withheld her words, indicating he should speak first.
“I need to go to Hai City. There are significant issues with a project at the company there. My brother has been busy with his ongoing projects, and grandfather is getting older, so 1 have to go this ti,” Lu Si explained.
i Shu, with lowered eyes, asked, “How long will you be gone?”
“Maximum one week. I’ll be back soon,” Lu Si replied.
i Shu nodded and handed him so docunts, saying, “I’m going to Wendith. This is a list of suspicious individuals I’ve compiled. But I’ll need to investigate personally to know more.”
“No,” Lu Si refused directly, “Wait for to co back, and we’ll go together. It’s too risky for you to go alone, and I’m worried.”
i Shu smiled, “I’m not a child; I can take care of myself. Moreover, Wendith Island just announced its opening ti for this week. By the ti you return, they’ll have closed the island. How can I investigate then?”
“Then I’ll have Jiang Hai accompany you,” Lu Si made a final concession.
i Shu sighed, “Fine, but I should be back soon. We can stay in touch by phone, and nothing major will happen.”
Despite the smile on i Shu’s face, there lingered a trace of unease in Lu Si’s expression. “Shu’er, reconsider. When I return, we can explore other ways to investigate.”
“There’s no need to go through so much trouble. It’s just right to go now.”
As they spoke, the dishes were already served.
i Shu took a bite of the dessert and smiled happily. “That settles it. Stop worrying; you know my capabilities. What could go wrong? Your only task is to keep an eye on Su Ling and prevent her from causing trouble for again.”
Lu Si nodded silently, still feeling guilty, “Shu’er, I’m truly sorry. You shouldn’t be involved in my parents’ affairs, especially now, when we can’t move against Su Ling yet. You’ve suffered so much.”
“Let’s settle everything when everything is clear,” i Shu’s smile remained, and she ate another bite of dessert, radiating happiness.
Amused by her adorable expression, Lu Si took away her dessert, “Finish your al first, then eat these.”
i Shu glared at him, then devoured her al with even more appetite than usual.
A few days later, when i Shu was ready, she had Tang i book her flight tickets.
Lu Si had already left for Hai City, so only Jiang Hai ca to pick her up in the morning.
i Yan clutched i Shu’s clothes, reluctant to let her leave, “Sister, you promised to co back soon. You can’t go back on your word.”
“Don’t worry, I don’t have much ti to wander around outside. Of course, I’ll co back as soon as 1 finish my business,” i Shu rubbed his head and instructed him with concern, “Take care of Brother He at ho, okay?”
“I understand, Sister.”
“And, make sure you finish the howork I assigned to you. I’ll check when 1 return,” i Shu added.
i Yan’s mouth twitched, and he withdrew his hand that had been holding her clothes, “Sister, you don’t have to say that.”
i Shu chuckled, bid farewell to her brothers, and got into Jiang Hai’s car.
They safely arrived at Wendith Airport.
As soon as they got off the plane, i Shu felt a warm, humid breeze hit her face.
Although Lin City was also near the coast, it couldn’t compare to Wendith, surrounded by the sea.
Jiang Hai handled the luggage, wearing sunglasses and a neatly tailored suit. He looked like a celebrity’s bodyguard, attracting many curious glances towards i Shu, as people tried to identify which movie star she was.
Walking out of the airport surrounded by onlookers all the way, i Shu was finally relieved when they escaped the crowd’s attention. She looked at Jiang Hai with so helplessness, “We need to keep a low profile during our investigation this ti. Soone may be watching our movents from behind.”
“I understand, Miss i,” Jiang Hai replied seriously, “We’ve been discreet.”
i Shu pursed her lips and reached out to take off his sunglasses and put them in his pocket. “This way we can be more discreet.”
“Are the two of you here for a vacation? Where do you want to go? I can offer you a discounted rate for the fare!”
As the two of them were talking, a passionate shout sounded from behind.
i Shu turned around and saw a man in a short-sleeved shirt and shorts, smiling and trying to attract custors.
“We’d like to rent a car. Do you have any recomndations?” i Shu asked.
“Yes, yes, I do! Co, get in my car first, and I’ll take you to the rental agency!” The man knew they were potential custors when he saw how well-dressed they were, so he wasn’t about to let them slip away easily..
