After her ex-husband became a Hong Kong entertainment circle tycoon, he put his arm around her waist

"No need. Just stay by Qi Yuye's side and keep an eye on him for me. Report to me immediately if anything happens."

Song Ci narrowed his eyes, his gaze filled with murderous intent.

"Since this path is blocked, we'll have to try another one."

Since she was able to harm Qi Yuye back then, she could naturally use the same trick again this time.

Aunt Zhang was startled by the undisguised murderous intent in Song Ci's tone and quickly said...

"Don't worry, I'll keep a close eye on Qi Yuye for you. If there's nothing else, I'll hang up now."

After receiving Song Ci's permission, Aunt Zhang hung up the phone without hesitation.

After hanging up the phone, Aunt Zhang's heart started beating faster and faster.

The information revealed in Song Ci's words just now was far too much for her to handle.

"Forget about today's conversation; it's not something you should know."

Aunt Zhang shook her head violently, shaking off all the jumbled thoughts in her mind.

Soon, Aunt Zhang received a text message from the bank showing that 500,000 yuan had been deposited into her account.

Aunt Zhang's expression softened a little when she learned that she could earn 500,000 yuan for just one useful piece of information.

When Nan Shu returned home, Enen was already asleep.

Qi Yuye had already had the rented house tidied up beforehand. After Nan Shu packed some clothes for herself and her younger brother, she went back to her room.

Nan Shu tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep, her mind replaying the words Qi Yuye had said when he left.

Until midnight, Nan Shu suddenly sat up abruptly, her eyes wide open, and muttered angrily to herself.

"No, what gives him the right to order me around?"

Nan Shu's noise woke up Enen next to her. Enen rubbed her eyes and mumbled sleepily.

"Mom... what's wrong?"

Realizing that her emotions had affected Um, Nan Shu felt a pang of guilt and quickly said...

"It's okay, go to sleep."

Nan Shu lay down again and coaxed Enen to sleep. Soon after, she also fell asleep.

The next morning, Nan Shu had just woken up and glanced at her phone when she instantly became fully awake.

"Come to the Grand Hyatt Hotel at noon, I'll be waiting for you."

Looking at the unfamiliar number on the screen, Nan Shu had a gut feeling that the text message was sent by Song Ci.

She hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to keep the appointment.

Before going to the appointment, Nan Shu glanced at the text message one last time, and after thinking for a moment, she sent a screenshot of the message to Qi Yuye.

It was unclear what Song Ci's purpose was in seeking her out, and she couldn't risk her life.

Upon receiving the message, Qi Yuye immediately called Nan Shu.

As Nan Shu looked at the name flashing on the screen, the events of yesterday suddenly came to mind. Her hand, which was about to answer the phone, hesitated, and she felt a little resentful and didn't want to answer.

A moment later, Nan Shu looked at Qi Yuye's call again, and finally sighed before answering the phone.

"Don't go, I'm worried it might be a scam."

As soon as the call connected, Qi Yuye's voice came through.

Hearing the concern in Qi Yuye's tone, Nan Shu's anger dissipated considerably.

"I want to see what she's up to. If we keep hiding and not moving forward, we'll always be in a passive position."

"If you insist on going, I'll send someone to protect you; otherwise, I won't feel at ease."

Qi Yuye knew that Nan Shu was always stubborn, and once she made a decision, she would never change it, so he could only compromise.

"No, Song Ci's people are definitely watching you now. They know your every move. If you send someone to protect me, she'll know we're just pretending to break up."

"Don't worry, she's meeting me at a hotel. There are lots of people there, so it's safe. I'll be careful."

After thinking about it, Nan Shu still declined Qi Yuye's suggestion.

"If you're worried, let's make a deal. If I haven't let you know I'm safe by 2 PM, then you should come looking for me, okay?"

In order to get Qi Yuye to agree, Nan Shu could only come up with a somewhat acceptable solution.

Qi Yuye remained silent for a moment, then finally sighed.

"Alright, I'll have someone keep watch outside. That's the biggest concession I can make."

Song Ci was no ordinary woman. She was capable of staging that car accident to kill him back then, and she could do the same now.

"Don't worry, I have a feeling that Song Ci might have asked me to come over this time to test the waters. This means that our plan yesterday worked, and her spies planted among you must have already passed on the message."

Nan Shu chatted with Qi Yuye for a few minutes. Qi Yuye gave Nan Shu some instructions, and Nan Shu hung up the phone when she saw that it was getting late.

With school time fast approaching, Nan Shu pulled Enen out of bed, quickly tidied her up, and after breakfast, took Enen to school.

After seeing Enen off, Nan Shu drove directly to the Grand Hyatt Hotel mentioned in the text message.

After arriving at the hotel, Nan Shu found the phone number in her phone and sent a message directly to it.

"I've arrived."

Shortly after sending the message, Nan Shu received a reply.

"Go to room 1602 in the hotel."

It was a very simple sentence, but Nan Shu couldn't help but raise an eyebrow after reading it.

She originally came early to catch the other party off guard, but she didn't expect that the other party seemed to be prepared.

Nan Shu rummaged through the self-defense tools she had prepared in her bag before entering the hotel with peace of mind.

Having learned from Song Mingkai's mistake, Nan Shu now prepares in advance for uncertain invitations.

Arriving at the hotel room mentioned in the text message, Nan Shu took a deep breath, trying her best to appear calm.

Once her heartbeat had completely stabilized, Nan Shu reached out and knocked on the door.

A moment later, a familiar female voice came from inside.

"Come in."

As the woman's voice fell, the door in front of Nan Shu suddenly opened.

As the door slowly opened, Nan Shu felt a little wary and quietly put her hand into her bag.

There were other people in the room besides Song Ci.

Seeing the two burly men at the entrance, Nan Shu stood there without going in.

Seeing the wariness on Nan Shu's face, Song Ci smiled.

"Come in, I'll make them leave."

Upon hearing Song Ci's instructions, the two burly men immediately bypassed Nan Shu and left the room.

Nan Shu's gaze swept across the room, and only after confirming that Song Ci was the only one there did she enter the room.

Song Ci was the only person in the large living room, with two glasses of red wine in front of her.

Song Ci gestured for Nan Shu to enter.

"Please sit down."

Seeing that Nan Shu showed no surprise at all, Song Ci was rather astonished.

"You knew all along that it was me who texted you?"

"right."

Nan Shu didn't hide anything and nodded directly.

Hearing Nan Shu's answer, Song Ci became somewhat curious.

How did you know it was me?

"An intuition."

Nan Shu continued.

Song Ci's gaze fell on Nan Shu's face, as if he were trying to figure out whether Nan Shu was telling the truth or lying.
