I was just playing tricks, how come I became Bai Yueguang

Chapter 262: 'Forced' (Xiao Xiu)

Winter Garden.

Fu Suier rubbed his eyes and pushed the door open.

"Mother."

Shen Jiao was on the phone in the main hall. When she saw her daughter standing outside the door waiting, she immediately hung up.

"what happened?"

Fu Sui'er trotted into the house and handed the hard drive to Shen Jiao.

"Mom, I've compared them carefully. The people here are all different girls, and some of them are pictures downloaded from scrap websites. They are not Xiao Lanlan at all. Can you help Xiao Lanlan clarify this?"

Shen Jiao was a little surprised, "Suier, do you want to help Lanlan?"

Fu Suier shook his head. "I'm not helping her, I'm helping myself. Mom, someone is deliberately framing Xiao Lanlan. Their real target isn't Xiao Lanlan, it's the Xiao family or us."

Fu Suier has grown a lot in the past three years and is now almost as tall as Shen Jiao. This is the first time Shen Jiao realized that her daughter has really grown up.

She didn't hide anything and nodded in response, "The Xiao family has been expanding their operations to acquire the Jinshan land, and they've even launched hundreds of new subsidiaries. As soon as the news about Xiao Lanlan got out, Xiao's reputation plummeted, and their stock price collapsed. If it continues to fall like this, I'm afraid they'll have to give up their management rights to make up for the losses."

Fu Suier has learned a lot of game tactics from Kong Maolin over the years, and she understood the deep meaning behind Shen Jiao's just a few words.

Someone wanted the Xiao family's Jinshan land, so he used Xiao Lanlan as a pretext.

Fu Suier thought for a moment, his expression serious, "If this is true, we can't just sit back and watch this happen.

The Shen family and the Xiao family are related by marriage. If the Xiao family is in trouble, the Shen family will rationally help. However, if the Shen family intervenes, it will divert the blame and damage the Shen family's reputation. But if the Shen family sits back and does nothing, it will be forced to abandon the Xiao family as an ally. It's easy to let go of the Xiao family, but the difficult part is how to explain it to the other allies. If we lose credibility, who will dare to work with us in the future?

Shen Jiao touched Fu Sui'er's face and said, "That's the truth. But it's not difficult."

Fu Suier was surprised and asked, "Mom, do you have any ideas?"

Shen Jiao, "Although I can't stand that idiot from the Second House, the Shen family won't tolerate outsiders bullying them. Your uncle and the others will investigate this matter, and I'll just help a little."

Although Fu Sui'er didn't know what Shen Jiao meant by "small favor", she knew that if her mother could say it, it must be a big favor.

Spring Garden.

Shen Mianzhi is talking to Shen Rang on the phone.

"Dad, I've checked. They're all using encrypted dark web IPs. I suspect someone orchestrated this. I've deleted some suspicious accounts. Have your people investigate using covert channels. They should be able to identify the target quickly."

Shen Rang was in a complicated mood. "Zhizhi, Xiao Lanlan treated you like that before, why... did you still help her? You wouldn't..."

Could it be that she has become the living Buddha’s daughter again?

Shen Mianzhi laughed and explained gently, "Dad, Xiao Lanlan is stupid because she doesn't understand the principle of shared prosperity and shared suffering. I am the daughter of the Shen family. Even if I want to take revenge on her, I would not use such despicable means. Now that Grandpa is gone, we should protect our home even more."

Shen Rang felt inexpressibly relieved and nodded in agreement.

Bamboo Garden.

"..."

The two people's eyes met, and there was an undercurrent of tug-of-war.

Shen Guiling remained calm, her fingertips hidden in the quilt gently stroking the wrinkled silk.

Suddenly, Jiang Huashan grinned and winked at him, "How is it? Are you moved by my charisma? Do you want help?"

Shen Guiling glanced at her and turned away pretending to be indifferent, "I'm busy."

Jiang Huashan leaned closer and asked, "If you don't even help with this, do you still have empathy?"

Shen Guiling unconsciously shifted her body and didn't look at her. "Xiao Lanlan's matter isn't that simple."

This is not simply bullying. There may be a huge interest group involved behind it. The more involved, the greater the danger.

He suddenly thought of something and turned to look at the study.

If he hadn't happened to investigate those accounts that day, Jiang Huashan might have been discovered by now.

"What do you mean by not simple? Why don't I understand what you are saying?" Jiang Huashan tilted his head and looked at Shen Guiling.

Test him?

Shen Guiling didn't even raise his eyelids, and took a big step to the side lazily.

Jiang Huashan smiled and moved to the side with her butt sticking out. "Shen Guiling, if you want to do this, don't blame me for bringing up the past."

Shen Guiling stood up and prepared to move again, but Jiang Huashan grabbed his clothes and pulled him back.

"Shen Guiling, don't forget who risked his life to protect your innocence in Nanwan."

Shen Guiling pulled his clothes back with an expressionless face.

Jiang Huashan added, "And more! You stole Bai Zheng's information, and even when Shen Lanxi tortured me, I didn't betray you."

Shen Guiling tilted her head to look at her, "Shen Lanxi? Tortured to extract a confession?"

"Yes." Jiang Huashan nodded.

Shen Guiling quietly wiped the sweat from her palms, her eyes soft, "Next time he tortures you, just tell the truth. You can't let me hurt the relationship between you and Shen Lanxi."

She and Shen Lanxi have a secret relationship.

Jiang Huashan's face darkened as he stood up. "Have you made up your mind? You really don't want to help?"

Shen Guiling, "Yeah."

"Okay." She turned and left.

He had just taken a step when he suddenly rioted, and before Shen Guiling could react, he pounced on him like a mountain.

"!"

Shen Guiling's mind went blank for a second, and his first reaction when he came to his senses was to escape.

But Jiang Huashan had anticipated his prediction and deliberately pressed his knee against his wound.

"Hiss." Shen Guiling's body trembled slightly. In order to prevent her from doing anything bad, he pulled the quilt under him to lift his waist and turned over. He moved up and down in an instant, and Jiang Huashan was wrapped into a ball.

"Heh." Shen Guiling panted softly, "Playing dirty?"

Jiang Huashan was wrapped in the quilt and couldn't move, so she could only speak. "Don't forget who risked his life to protect your innocence! If I had known you were so disloyal, I shouldn't have saved you and kept your secret! Just wait and see, when grandpa comes back, I'll tell him you stole Bai Zheng's files."

Shen Guiling was so angry that she laughed. She pinched her chin and said, "My innocence? So you rushed over just now to force yourself on me and destroy my innocence?"

You're dreaming.

"That's right." Jiang Huashan squirmed under him like a caterpillar.

Shen Guiling's eyelids twitched, "Don't move."

Why not move? She insisted on moving, even twisting into a snake shape.

Shen Guiling felt her palms getting hotter and hotter, so she picked up a pillow to block her face. "I can help you check, but I have one condition."

Jiang Huashan was quiet for a second, "You're talking."

He lowered his head and gritted his teeth, "Don't climb into my bed casually in the future, otherwise..."

Kill you.

Not hearing a response, Shen Guiling pulled off half of the pillow. Their eyes met, and he felt a burning sensation in his heart.

Not wanting to reveal his true identity, Shen Guiling could only be controlled by others. He silently pulled back the pillow, pretended to be calm and rolled over to get out of bed, and said in a somewhat fierce tone, "Did you hear that?"

Jiang Huashan sat up with a somersault, turned around twice and shook off the bedding.

"Deal. You want to check now?"

Shen Guiling turned to face the balcony and said, "I'll give you news tomorrow. You go back first."

"Row."

She jumped off the bed and took two steps closer when Shen Guiling turned around and went into the bathroom. After a while, the sound of the door being locked was heard again.

"Tsk... What does locked mean?" Jiang Huashan snorted coldly, walked into the study, and glanced at the desk curiously when passing by.

This is……

Her expression changed slightly, and she turned back to look at the bathroom. After a moment of silence, she silently took out her phone...

After a while, the sound of the door being locked was heard.

After a while, the sound of running water came from the bathroom...

……
