Chapter 131 He really sold her brandy-scented perfume...
After Feifei's reminder, Su Qi realized that Zheng Ran had been targeting her all along.
From Zheng Ran's indifference when she first arrived at the Shen family, to her sabotage during the dating reality show, and now this scheme she's devised, it's all just to test her bottom line.
"why?"
[Master, don't forget, the original owner had a relationship with Zheng Ran. Although I can't find the specifics, it perfectly explains why he's hostile towards you.]
Su Qi found it boring and laughed mockingly: "You're crazy."
However, none of that is the most important thing right now. The most urgent task is to resolve the rescue operation that was just triggered.
"That's true, I've already thought of a way, but I can't lend it to them."
What does the master want to do...?
Su Qi looked at the light on in the study on the third floor.
Shen Chaohuai was handling company affairs when the smoke from the incense burner drifted from inside the door into the corridor.
His hair had grown quite a bit, and he had been too busy to get it trimmed lately, so he simply tied it into a half-bun to keep the stray hairs from obscuring his eyes.
Su Qi leaned forward slightly, his hand resting on the doorknob. He saw Shen Chaohuai looking disheveled, his eyes half-closed, almost asleep.
“Young Master Shen has been busy until now without resting, so why don’t you…” Su Qi’s words were slightly playful.
Surprisingly, Shen Chaohuai didn't find her frivolous at all. Instead, he swayed over and put his arm around her waist, saying, "Don't move, let me hold you for a while."
He sighed deeply, his voice utterly exhausted.
Su Qi tilted her head and noticed an "Industrial Cooperation Project Plan" on her desk. She was taken aback. Was Shen Chaohuai planning to start a new industry again?
She tried to push him away, but he held her tighter and tighter until his head was buried deep in the crook of her neck.
"Shen Chaohuai, do you want to turn the entire country's industries into your own?"
He laughed and said, "Why not? If I want to, there's nothing I can't do here."
After a long while, Shen Chaohuai gently withdrew from her body, and Su Qi flicked her finger at his head.
He clicked his tongue in pain and instantly snapped back to reality.
"Since you're so capable, could you do me a favor?"
Shen Chaohuai glanced at Su Qi, hesitating to speak: "As long as it's not illegal..."
"It's illegal. Help me call the police. The charge is that Shen Tiancheng stole antiques worth hundreds of billions."
After saying that, Su Qi opened her phone and showed him the photos she had taken in her adoptive parents' room.
Shen Chaohuai's eyes widened instantly, staring incredulously at the large antique in the photo: "Is it really inside?"
To be honest, Su Qi was not surprised by Shen Chaohuai's reaction at all.
“It wasn’t exactly theft. According to my investigation, the loss of the antiques is actually related to the collusion between Shen Tiancheng and the leadership.” Shen Chaohuai clenched his chin, lost in thought.
"Since the antique is indeed in the Shen family, wouldn't that just confirm Shen Tiancheng's guilt?" Su Qi raised an eyebrow slightly.
"Send him to jail? Wouldn't that be too lenient on him?" Shen Chaohuai's eyes were terrifyingly gloomy.
He took off his watch and placed it face down on the table: "Shall we start with complete disgrace?"
Su Qi shook his head with a helpless smile: "First, let the National Antique Bureau investigate and arrest Shen Tiancheng and Zhao Meihua. Then we can take the girls away in a perfectly legitimate way."
"Pick me up? And then what? Where do you plan to send me?" Shen Chaohuai's tone suddenly became unfriendly.
"Do you still want to argue with me about this?"
Shen Chaohuai paused, clearly not wanting to ruin the relationship that had been so hard to improve.
"what ever."
He walked past Su Qi and out of the study.
Su Qi held her head in her hands. Shen Chaohuai's displeasure made her suddenly feel annoyed, though she couldn't explain why.
Feifei didn't understand why his owner wanted his help; wouldn't it have been simpler to just call the police?
Su Qi pursed her lips, probably because she didn't want Shen Tiancheng to lose trust in her, and also probably because she didn't want the original owner's adoptive father to hate the original owner too much.
Just as she was about to leave, a gust of wind blew in through the French windows, swirling the papers on the table and blowing them to Su Qi's feet.
She picked it up, opened the first page, and carefully read the "Industrial Cooperation Project Plan".
"A brandy-scented perfume production plan?"
"Your company has reached a cooperation agreement with the Shen Group to commission the production of a special perfume for sale to the Shen family and some other regions."
"Mainly for giving back to the two fan groups?"
Su Qi was stunned: "What does this mean?"
As the light waves surged in, Su Qi's light screen instantly unfolded.
[Please note that the number of fans of the Qi-Chao CP is rising. Please make good use of the fan club to increase its popularity.]
Su Qi opened her blog.
@沈朝槐szh: At the Qingshan banquet, everyone was curious about where my sister Su Qi's perfume came from. The Shen Group has a special supply agreement with Chanel; it's a perfume I specially blended for her, and there's only one in the world. Since everyone wants it, I'm announcing a collaboration with Chanel to sell 30 units of the same perfume!
[OMG! This is such a doting father!]
[What a wonderful older brother! I need a tutorial on how to get one!]
Su Qi slammed her phone off, completely frozen in place.
"What do you mean by spoiling his sister? He's clearly a shrewd businessman taking advantage of the hype to open businesses and make money!"
Feifei sensed something was wrong: "[You can't think like that. What if Shen Chaohuai really just wants to cover for you? Otherwise, there's no way to explain your pheromones. Brandy perfume? You can't buy that anyway. Eventually, no one will believe the lie anymore.]"
Shen Chaohuai's move was indeed clever; it helped her cover up the truth while also allowing her to make money.
Su Qi coughed lightly: "No matter what, he's just opportunistic and not a good person."
Feifei moved closer to Su Qi's chest.
[Master, why is your heart rate increasing?]
"Who...whose heart rate has increased?!"
The system kept notifying users that the number of fans of the Qi Chao CP was increasing.
Hello, your popularity rating has risen to 7890.
Please complete the special events as soon as possible to avoid missing the necessary conditions for upgrading your rank.
Su Qi abruptly turned off the light screen: "Shut up!"
[Master, your heart rate is getting faster. Perhaps you should try to control your anger.]
The next day, Su Qi woke up late and found a ring of police cars surrounding the villa.
She stood by the window, turned her back, and opened her phone. Shen Chaohuai had sent her a message a long time ago.
"as you wish."
He actually did this for her? He didn't even care about his own identity or that of a member of the Shen family.
Is he really not afraid that if something happens to the Shen family, it will implicate him?
When the State Administration of Antiques heard that the antiques worth hundreds of billions that it had previously wanted to acquire had gone missing and ended up in the Shen family's possession, it immediately dispatched several police teams to investigate.
Su Qi had just come downstairs when he was stopped: "Stop!"
Su Qi looked at the group of people in suits and police uniforms and carried out a routine check as instructed.
"Is this Su Qi, the adopted daughter of the Shen family?"
Everyone knew that the adopted daughter of the Shen family had no status in the family, so after the routine check, the policewoman was about to let Su Qi go as instructed: "You can go now, the Shen family needs to be searched."
Su Qi had only taken a few steps when the policewoman addressed the officials again: "I didn't believe the Shen family was really hiding something, but if it weren't for the antique mechanical wristwatch in the young master's study..."
Su Qi was slightly taken aback.
That was the watch Shen Chaohuai had carelessly tossed on the table last night. Could it be that Shen Chaohuai had already come up with this plan just before she came in? To lure them into the trap by using herself?
