Chapter 138 It Was You

in the Huo family, she was willing to risk offending her grandmother for her. Su He was deeply touched, but still refused her kindness."I have no objections." She said, blushing and looking down."Big...Su He's talk of deep sibling love, naturally wasn't about Shen Xiaoli.

Shen Zhimo knew it well but pretended to be clueless: "It's naturally the deep affection between siblings. Su He, since we're meeting for the first time, why don't I treat you to a meal Come with your second uncle and cousin, let's have a chat together"

He didn't mention Shen Rufeng, but he demanded that Su He hand over Shen Yuqing and Shen Xiaoli.

He sure is a sly old fox!

Su He smiled faintly: "Big brother, you came from afar. It wouldn't be right for me to treat you. How about this, let my older brother treat us, and we all have a family gathering together"

Su He made a concession, as long as Shen Ruimo handed over Shen Rufeng, she would hand over Shen Xiaoli and Shen Yuqing.

Though they spoke in riddles, both understood each other's intentions.

Shen Ruomo held a Shen Rufeng, but Su He had two bargaining chips in his hand: Shen Xiaoli and Shen Yuqing.

Even if Shen Ruomo didn't care about Shen Yuqing's life or death, he would absolutely not allow Shen Xiaoli to slip out of his control and become his enemy.

If possible, he even hoped to use Su He's hand in City A to directly take Shen Xiaoli's life.

Shen Zhimo deliberately went around in circles with Su He, and Su He was certainly aware of his schemes.

Given his personality, he wanted to save Shen Xiaoli instead of doing it himself. So the first time someone came to rescue Shen Xiaoli, it failed, but this time, he easily rescued Shen Xiaoli.

If Shen Rumo hadn't intentionally let water go, Su He herself wouldn't believe it.

Even if Su He knew Shen Rumo had ulterior motives, she was determined to get Shen Xiaoli this hot potato!

Shen Ruomo was stalling for time, Su He naturally felt it, but he wasn't in a hurry at all. He slowly kept him company.

Two people sat chatting over tea, reminiscing about the past. From afar, it looked like a joyful scene.

Half an hour later.

Shen Ruomo's phone rang suddenly, shattering the quiet room.

He smiled sheepishly, pointed at his phone, and eagerly got up to answer the call.

And here, Su He's phone also lit up at the same time, with a message popping out just like before.

It's done!

Su He, who was originally calm and collected, was even more confident now, relaxed as he raised his teacup and sipped it slowly.

To be honest, even though Shen Ruimo looks like a fake scholar, the tea he makes here is actually pretty good.

As for Shen Ruimo, he had originally seemed like a carefree and relaxed older brother. But after receiving the phone call, his face had involuntarily taken on a few shades of gloom.

Back at the desk, watching Su He enjoy his tea with such relish, anger welled up inside me.

Alas, there was nothing he could do about it.

"Since my little sister said so, then let me treat you all to a meal tomorrow night! Let's get together." Shen Ruo Mo’s face lit up with a smile once more, looking doting.

Shen Ruomo, is this a slip of the tongue

Although it was expected, Su He still took a deep breath.

A smile still lingered on her face as Su He spoke softly, "Since Big Brother agreed to let my brother be the host, I think my brother should start preparing today. Otherwise, we'd be neglecting you and your sister tomorrow. What do you think, Big Brother"

Shen Ruimo knew Su He was asking him to release the person today. He held the trump card of Shen Rufeng in his hand. If he handed it over easily, what if Su He went back on his word later Wouldn't that be a waste of effort

As if seeing Shen Ruomo's hesitation, Su He gave Shen Ruomo an address and said, "Of course, I will also take care of my second uncle tonight. I promise he won't leave the hospital to meet people he shouldn't."

Shen Ruomo stared intently at Su He, and after a long silence, finally nodded: "Then I'll have to trouble you, little sister Su He!"

Did he agree to this

Su He finally breathed a sigh of relief, unaware that a layer of cold sweat had silently soaked through his undershirt.

Seeing her purpose achieved, she politely said a few words and got up, leaving without looking back. She didn't notice at all that Shen Rumo's face had changed the instant she stood up.

A tall and slender figure, as straight as a pine, slowly walked out from the inner room.

A golden mask covered most of the man's face.

He wore a tailored black suit, a shade deeper than ordinary black, making him seem enveloped in a thick cloud of ink.

Deep, cold, and with a suffocating oppression.

"I've already agreed to her demands." Shen Rumo looked at the man in front of her, her eyes mixing fear and disgust, yet she suppressed it with all her might, saying word by word, "Lu Shaoan, don't forget what you promised me."

Lu Shaoan indifferently curled his crimson lips: "I do things, I don't need you to teach me."

Shen Ruomo's jaw tightened imperceptibly, the palm of his hand hidden in his sleeve clenched into a fist, but he had to endure it.

Who would have thought, his trump card ended up in the hands of this lunatic

The kind and respectable youngest son of the Lu family, for no apparent reason, insisted on getting involved in this mess at the Shen family's home.

Could it be that he actually fancies Su He, the Shen family's precious daughter

Even as a discarded second-hand item, the Lu Shaoan that the Huo family abandoned, he is willing to accept and doesn't fear getting hurt after taking him in

As if sensing the disdain in his eyes, Lu Shaoan coldly swept a glance at him, like a sharp dagger slicing through. Shen Ruimo felt a chill down his neck and involuntarily took a step back.

"This place, I advise you to leave as soon as possible." Lu Shaoan spoke softly, as if the just-filled murderous gaze was just Shen Rumo's illusion.

Shen Ruomo frowned slightly, looking at Lu Shao'an with some dissatisfaction: "Lu San Shao, aren't you being too overbearing I and you are in a cooperative relationship, I'm not your subordinate!"

The implication was that Lu Shaoan wasn't qualified to order him around.

Lu Shaoan shrugged, nonchalantly saying, "I was just being kind. I heard that this place gets haunted at night. Since Shen Shao is here, haven't you ever felt anything strange"

Shen Ruomo's face changed. After Lu Shaoan finished speaking, the already cold courtyard seemed even more silent.

There seems to be some strange noises faintly.

"It's you!"

As Lu Shaoan just stepped out of the Huo family's gate, he suddenly heard a crisp female voice from beside him.

Surprise, with a hint of annoyance.

Stepping out of the Huo family gate, Su He finally realized why she had still felt uneasy when Shen RuoMo first opened up to her.

Shen Ruimo let slip too much.

All the previous circling around was like acting, just to pave the way for him to open up.

Although Shen Xiaoli's situation put Shen Rumuo at some risk, it also presented him with an opportunity.

Just like he did before, send someone to hunt down Shen Xiaoli and then blame her for Shen Xiaoli's death. This wouldn't be a bad opportunity either.

Shen Ruomo could have put forward conditions, but he didn't mention anything.

Su He remembered the phone call Shen Ruomo had taken.

After she left, she called her subordinates and learned that the men Shen Rumuo sent to chase and kill Shen Xiaoli had all been beaten up, either killed or severely injured. It was estimated that they wouldn't be awake for a while.

So, that phone call wasn't from Shen Ruomo's subordinates.

Being able to clearly understand their maneuvering dynamics, it suggests that there may be another person present in the courtyard.

Su He was just guessing, but seeing Lu Shaoan come out of the Huo family gate, her guess was confirmed!at made her heart ache just by thinking about it."They're over there, quick, catch them!" A villager spotted them and shouted loudly.All the flames moved quickly in their direction and soon rushed ove...
