According to Lin Shanchu’s past experience, any unknown number that came in at such a sensitive time would most likely be hostile.

The caller was either someone who wanted her make a fool of herself or some entertainment reporters who tried to pry information out of her.

Therefore, Lin Shanchu’s tone was unfriendly when she answered the phone.

“Who’s on the line?”

“It’s me.”

It was someone familiar. She could tell who it was just by listening to the voice.

Lin                 immediately recognized Tang Qidai’s voice.

As expected, the caller was ill-intentioned.

She did not deign to deal with Tang Qidai. Just as she was about to hang up the phone, Tang Qidai said, “Don’t hang up. Let me finish my words first.”

Lin Shanchu curled her lip and smiled self-deprecatingly.

Tang Qidai really knew her well.

Noticing that Lin Shanchu did not hang up the phone immediately, Tang Qidai was delighted and hurriedly spoke.

“Lu Shiyuan came to Capital City after being released from prison. Other than dealing with me, his other target is you.”

Tang Qidai stopped talking to find out Lin Shanchu’s reaction.

“You spent a lot of money and connections to get Lu Shiyuan out of prison, didn’t you?”

Tang Qidai did not expect Lin Shanchu to expose her so calmly despite having no relation to Lu Shiyuan’s motives.

“You are now Miss Cheng. How can Lu Shiyuan deal with you?”

After saying that, Lin Shanchu replied to herself, “Oh, he threatened you with the matter of Jing Ming and Kong Suyi.”

Tang Qidai shouted nervously, “Lin Shanchu!”

Lin Shanchu really had not changed at all. She hit the nail on the head and exposed her past.

Lin Shanchu said seriously, “I have a way to protect you from Lu Shiyuan’s threat.”

Tang Qidai’s heart skipped a beat as she asked, “What kind of way?

Lin Shanchu replied casually, “You just have to turn yourself in.”

Tang Qidai was speechless.

Lin Shanchu was really sick.

Tang Qidai suppressed the urge to curse at Lin Shanchu. She quickly calmed herself down and said seriously, “Lin Shanchu, I sincerely want to work with you. I hope you can consider it seriously. After all, Lu Shiyuan is our common enemy.”

Lin Shanchu could hear a hint of sincerity in Tang Qidai’s tone.

It was quite rare.

Lin Shanchu remained silent. Tang Qidai thought that she had persuaded Lin Shanchu, so she said excitedly, “If it’s possible, I hope we can talk face to face.”

Lin Shanchu immediately hung up the phone.

She knew Tang Qidai better than anyone else.

Tang Qidai was a firm self-centered person. She would never do anything that would not benefit her.

Lin Shanchu got up and opened the window, leaning against the windowsill to get some fresh air.

Everything was going well today, but she received a call from Tang Qidai.

How unlucky.

It was getting dark.

Night was approaching.

Everyone who was compelled to walk in the darkness wanted someone to walk alongside, no matter how strong their heart was. “Sister Lin, wash your hands and eat dinner.”

He Xiang’s voice came from behind.

Lin Shanchu turned around and strode towards the bedroom.

“I’m not going to eat dinner.”

“Huh?”

He Xiang walked to Lin Shanchu’s bedroom door, only to find her sitting in front of the dressing table and putting on makeup.

“Sister Lin, are you going out?” “Yeah, you can dine with my uncle.”

“Where are you going?”

Lin Shanchu chuckled and turned to look at He Xiang. “To the place I want to go.”

‘…Oh.” She felt that Lin Shanchu had been doing things mysteriously recently.

Lin Shanchu came out after putting on her makeup and changing her clothes. She saw Lin Suguang waiting for her in the living room with his car keys. “He Xiang said that you’re going out. I’ll give you a ride.”

Lin Suguang sized up Lin Shanchu with a trace of insight in his gentle gaze, as if he had seen through her.

Lin Shanchu replied calmly, “I have an appointment with Miss Jiang.” Lin Suguang froze on the spot.

Taking advantage of the situation, Lin Shanchu said, “Uncle, go quickly to eat dinner. ”

Lin Suguang watched helplessly as Lin Shanchu left with the car keys.

Of course, Lin Shanchu did not have appointment with Jiang Weizhu.

The place she wanted to go was certainly where Huo Xunzhou was.

Huo Xunzhou’s house Capital City was also a villa.

He bought the house with the first pot of gold he earned after his debut.

Capital City was developing rapidly. The environment in this area was ordinary in the early years, but after rapid development over the years, every inch of land here was already worth an inch of gold.

The management of the villa area was strict, so it was difficult to sneak in.

Lin Shanchu could only follow the rules and go to the property management office to register herself.

The property management staff had mixed feelings as he looked at the fully covered woman with only two eyes exposed in front of him.

“Name?”

“Yun Wu.”

“Who are you looking for?”

“Huo Xunzhou from Room 13. I’m his cousin…”

Yun Wu was really a good sister. Her identity was also quite useful.

She had to admit that the property management service in the villa area was really good.

After Lin Shanchu registered herself, the staff personally took her to Huo Xunzhou.

When the staff rang the doorbell, Lin Shanchu looked up at Huo Xunzhou’s house.

It was her first time here.

It was bigger than the houses in Xu City, and the style was more retro and had a better texture.

To put it bluntly… the smell of money was stronger.

After a while, Lin Shanchu saw a tall figure walking towards her through the hollow iron door.

Lin Shanchu could not see his face clearly in the dim light in the courtyard, but she knew it was Huo Xunzhou just by looking at his figure.

She thought that the person who would open the door would be Li Mo. She was worried that if Li MO recognized her, he would trigger the plot restriction because of his presence as the third person.

The staff said with a smile, “Mr. Huo, Miss Yun Wu is looking for you.” Huo Xunzhou had been looking at Lin Shanchu since he walked over.

“Yun Wu?” he asked with a faint smile after hearing the staff’s words.

Lin Shanchu squinted her eyes as she deliberately called out in a coquettish voice, “Third Brother.”

Huo Xunzhou reached out and placed his hand to his lips. After coughing lightly, he turned around and thanked the staff.

Before the staff left, he kept looking back at Lin Shanchu curiously.

He remembered that Huo Xunzhou’s cousin was also a celebrity.

However, was there a need for her to be fully covered to see her cousin in the middle of the night?

As soon as the staff disappeared, Huo Xunzhou reached out and pulled Lin Shanchu into his arms, bringing her into the villa.

“Third Brother, why are you being handsy with me?” Lin Shanchu held Huo Xunzhou’s fingers and her gentle voice sounded innocent.

Huo Xunzhou squeezed Lin Shanchu’s hand in revenge, causing Lin Shanchu to laugh proudly.

When they reached the living room, Huo Xunzhou asked her to sit down on the sofa. Next, he reached out and took off the scarf and hat that covered half of her face. He then stared at her with his beautiful charming eyes, as if she was the only one in his eyes.

His gaze looked as if he had not seen her for three years, but they obviously just met yesterday.

Lin Shanchu was a little shy from his stare.

She reached out and pushed Huo Xunzhou away before she said softly, “I need a drink of water. Go and get me a glass of water..”
