Chapter 165
Su Baiyi's words were obviously meant for Li Jinyan, if not for begging Li Jinyan to keep the secret.

She wouldn't even call Li Jinyan Uncle Li anymore. It was visible to the naked eye that she was full of resistance to Li Jinyan.

How could Li Jinyan not feel anything? He sat across the bed with a sneer, showing no intention of leaving.

Su Baiyi opened her mouth, but she couldn't say anything to drive Li Jinyan away, so she could only sit on the bed angrily.

Zhou Shu carefully pulled the corner of Li Jinyan's clothes: "Can you let me stay alone with her for a while?"

Her tone was careful, pitiful, and a bit coquettish.

Li Jinyan's expression froze and he sighed: "I know, I'll pick you up later."

After saying that, the man stood up and left, and Zhou Shu sat beside Su Baiyi's bed and looked at her apologetically.

"Sorry for bringing you into this."

Zhou Shu looked guilty. A long time ago, Zhou Shu actually did not regard Su Baiyi as a true friend.

I just feel that this person is easy to use and can help me find out the truth.

But that didn't seem to be the case. Zhou Shu couldn't remember when he started to sincerely regard Su Baiyi as a friend.

Su Baiyi came closer, looked at the guilt on Zhou Shu's face, and suddenly laughed out loud.

"What, aren't we friends?"

Su Baiyi smiled, her face turned pale when she faced the murderer before.

How could a pampered young lady like her not be afraid?
But for his so-called friend who was not sincere enough, he stood in front of her without hesitation.

Zhou Shu knew that whenever the murderer appeared, if Su Baiyi pretended to be asleep and stayed out of it, he would not survive either.

Her eyes were slightly red, and the joy of surviving the disaster made it difficult for Zhou Shu to restrain his emotions.

Su Baiyi rarely saw Zhou Shu's emotions so exposed, and was a little panicked for a moment.

She waved her hand quickly: "Zhou Shu, don't cry!"

"I'm the worst at making you happy. I'm really fine. You see, I just scratched my skin. Isn't this a good thing?"

Su Baiyi was in a hurry, wiping her tears while thinking of ways to comfort Zhou Shu.

Zhou Shu shook his head and changed the subject: "I'm fine. I just regret that I shouldn't have taken you to the scene."

Zhou Shu's eyebrows drooped, feeling regretful and guilty.

But after hearing these words, Su Baiyi hit her on the head with one hand: "What nonsense are you talking about! Can you catch someone without me? I am the most important!"

There was a smug and careless look on her face, which made Zhou Shu a little envious, and he also smiled helplessly.

Seeing that Zhou Shu's mood had eased a lot, Su Baiyi changed the subject: "By the way, what about the murderer? Have you caught him?"

"Caught."

"What happened after I fainted? How did you escape from that man's hand alone?" Su Baiyi's eyes were bright, shining with a bit of admiration.

Zhou Shu shook his head: "I didn't do anything, I was saved..."

She explained everything that happened after Su Baiyi fainted, including Li Jinyan's eyeliner and the old man who blocked her.

Listening to this, Su Baiyi looked complicated.

Thinking that her resistance to Li Jinyan was probably because of herself, Zhou Shu explained softly.

"Without Li Jinyan, we might have been in trouble this time, so to be honest, we should also thank him."

The Su family and the Li family are family friends, and it is inevitable that they will have more contact with each other in the future.Su Baiyi's current attitude towards Li Jinyan is not suitable.

Hearing this, Su Baiyi pursed his lips: "I understand."

The incident between Li Jinyan and Zhou Shu made Su Baiyi full of resistance to Li Jinyan, but Zhou Shu was right, she should thank Li Jinyan.

Su Baiyi was silent for a long time, probably thinking about Zhou Shu's words.

Zhou Shu didn't say anything, just sat down not far away, waiting for Su Baiyi to think about it before speaking.

After a long silence, Su Baiyi suddenly looked like he suddenly understood: "Shu Shu! Do you think it's possible that Uncle Li has always suspected you? That's why he found us so quickly?
Otherwise, how can we explain that he arranged for so many people to follow us and protect us as soon as the incident happened? "

Zhou Shu nodded and shook his head.

"What do you mean?" Su Baiyi didn't know whether she agreed or disagreed.

"I mean, I thought so before, but it's not necessarily true. I can't figure out what he is doing."

In the past, Zhou Shu might have been firm and believed that Li Jinyan was doubting himself.

But when he learned that Li Jinyan had been looking for Gu Wen for many years, he felt that this might not be the case.

Maybe he really just wanted to protect himself, or maybe they just happened to find this place, but they didn't expect that he and Su Baiyi also found this place.

After the bodyguards tipped off the information, they were allowed to protect themselves and Su Baiyi.

Zhou Shu sighed, it was too complicated.

It seems that when she started investigating the matter, she discovered that it was unexpectedly complicated.

One after another, Zhou Shu felt a headache.

"He has also been looking for this person for many years. He may not have found this place just for us."

Zhou Shu thought, his eyes filled with confusion.

Su Baiyi was even more puzzled: "In this case, why did Huo Jingtong give you this address? Could it be that he wanted to sell this favor through you?"

The address was given by Huo Jingtong. If it was really just for Li Jinyan to discover the person he had been looking for, why not just give it to Li Jinyan?
Why should it be given through Zhou Shu’s hands?

Zhou Shu shook his head: "I don't understand. I also want to know what Huo Jingtong wants to do."

Her eyes were slightly cold. From the beginning of the cooperation, Zhou Shu knew that Huo Jingtong was unreliable.

He may not really want to give him clues, but Zhou Shu doesn't really want to help Huo Jingtong. The two of them are basically using each other.

"Then will you continue to cooperate with Huo Jingtong?" Su Baiyi asked tentatively.

Seeing that Zhou Shu didn't speak, she quickly added: "I just think this person is unreliable. It was good luck this time. What if you are not so lucky next time? I'm afraid this person will set up a trap for you at any time and it will be impossible to guard against it."

Su Baiyi's worries are not unreasonable, Zhou Shu understands.

Huo Jingtong already had a grudge against himself, and there was no telling whether he would dig holes for himself again in the future.

He was able to stay out of the situation, and he was able to trick himself before that happened.

Zhou Shu hated it with itch, but Huo Jingtong was the most suitable partner.

Although Zhou Shu didn't understand what Huo Jingtong was doing this time, the most important thing now was not Huo Jingtong's intention.

"I understand your concerns. No matter what kind of medicine Huo Jingtong sells, the most important thing right now is to find out the true identity of this driver. Is he really just the person who killed Li Jin Yan's mother back then?"
