After Being Cyber Bullied, She Reveals Her True Identity

Chapter 201: Chapter 201: Being a Husband to This Extent, There Can’t Be Many Left, Right? Chapter 201: Chapter 201: Being a Husband to This Extent, There Can’t Be Many Left, Right? “Didn’t the company arrange a driver for Brother Li?” Shen Yan turned back to express her thanks to Li Xu after stepping outside, and then she brought up the question as something occurred to her.

Li Xu shook his head, “Just signed the contract, President Kang hasn’t had the chance to arrange that yet.”

Shen Yan seemed to be weighing her options, then after a short while she said, “If Brother Li doesn’t mind, I could have my driver take you to Xinyu’s dormitory first.”

Li Xu asked, “Won’t that be too much trouble?”

“Apart from worrying about being photographed, it’s not really a hassle,” Shen Yan said, and immediately opened the car door and got in.

Li Xu hesitated for a moment outside before opening the rear door of the car.

On the way back to Xinyu’s company, there wasn’t much conversation between the two.

Halfway through the journey, Li Xu’s phone suddenly vibrated. He took it out to glance at it and then put it away again.

Seeing this, Shen Yan joked, “Why didn’t Brother Li bring his former agent over?”

“The other party wanted to develop in a better agency, but I am more optimistic about Xinyu.”

“Is that so.”

“Among several media companies, Xinyu is the best choice. People aim high, and I’m no exception to that common desire.”

Shen Yan nodded in agreement, “Brother Li’s thinking is not wrong; Xinyu is indeed a good choice at the moment.”

Li Xu continued, “I heard there were some minor internal issues at Xinyu before, and even a change in the behind-the-scenes owner. Do you know about this?”

Shen Yan replied in surprise, “Really? I wasn’t aware of that. As you know, I was nothing more than a minor celebrity climbing up through negative publicity, only achieving decent results in the past six months or so. As for the internal matters of Xinyu, I’m not too clear on them.”

What Shen Yan said was indeed the truth.

Li Xu did not press her further about Xinyu, and changed the subject.

His lack of questions didn’t mean he was without suspicion.

Because Liu Su was standing right beside Shen Yan.

It was possible that the Qi Group in Shen City was involved in all this.

Thinking of the targets assigned to him from above, Li Xu couldn’t afford to let his guard down. Compared to his previous investigation targets, the Qi Group was like a deep and unfathomable black hole. Confronted with such a colossal entity, he felt immense pressure.

Perhaps even before he could uncover anything, he himself would be swallowed up.

Through the glass window, Shen Yan gazed into the night, watching Li Xu walk towards the dormitory’s entrance. Only after a long while did she instruct the driver to start the car and leave.

Li Xu walked along the dark path, checking for anyone around before pulling out his phone to make a call, “I think there shouldn’t be any issues with Xinyu, despite some minor data inconsistencies from Intelligence. Qi Family is involved in so many business transactions; trying to investigate inside based on Xinyu—a small entity—is like an impossible ascent for someone with my celebrity status. It’s not fear I’m feeling… it’s that this kind of whistleblowing investigation… Alright, I’ll continue the in-depth investigation, but don’t get your hopes too high.”

Li Xu massaged his temples, took a deep breath, and strode towards Xinyu’s dormitory.

Upon arriving home, Shen Yan immediately started looking up information on Li Xu.

The details were incomplete.

Everything there was as much as anyone could find on an encyclopedia.

Li Xu’s personal information was protected.

For someone to be protected in such a way, Shen Yan could only think of one explanation.

Though Shen Yan’s life was not in the country, she was no fool and still somewhat aware of domestic affairs.

She didn’t dig any further.

All she needed was the assurance that Li Xu wasn’t a bad person.

But still.

Was Li Xu’s investigation into Xinyu related to Qi Si?

Now she also understood why Xinyu, aware of his circumstances, still signed him on.

Just as she was pondering, there came a noise from outside.

It was Qi Si coming home.

Shen Yan closed her laptop and went out, standing on the second floor to look down.

The person entering just happened to look up, and their eyes met in midair.

“Mr. Qi is back!”

Qi Si, gazing at the girl’s smile, nodded slightly and hummed in acknowledgment.

Shen Yan clattered down the stairs.

The sound of her footsteps was particularly pleasant to Qi Si’s ears!

The cold villa seemed to instantly warm up!

“Are you very tired today?”

Shen Yan unexpectedly asked Qi Si this question as she stood in front of him.

Qi Si was taken aback.

His dark eyes were fixed on Shen Yan.

Shen Yan asked, “Did I ask something I shouldn’t have?”

Or crossed a line?

“No,” Qi Si lowered his gaze while taking off his suit jacket, “Did you go out to attend to social obligations tonight?”

He could smell the alcohol on her.

Shen Yan nodded, “I went to celebrate with the artists from Xinyu.”

“If you can’t handle your liquor, exercise some restraint, nobody will make things difficult for you.”

“I know.”

“Did Uncle Liu go with you?”

“Uncle Liu is also an agent at Xinyu. Of course, he went. Something happened tonight involving Li Xu, so Uncle Liu stayed behind to deal with it, and he might come back later.”

While saying this, Shen Yan also observed Qi Si’s reaction.

However, Qi Si didn’t even give Li Xu a second thought.

To Qi Si, Li Xu was just an insignificant minion.

He was not worth Qi Si’s personal attention.

Despite being aware of their identities, Qi Si still maintained a veiled protective stance towards these special groups. He respected them for their daring attempts to infiltrate and investigate the Qi Family.

He wouldn’t look down on others because of his own success.

On the contrary.

He respected every profession.

He was simply focused on his own affairs and didn’t interfere with those of others.

His disregard for people like Li Xu was a form of protection for them, as long as he didn’t expose them.

Even though he hadn’t truly taken the time to understand that department, he knew that once people from such departments were exposed, they could no longer engage in that field of work and had to start anew, completely cutting ties with their previous environment.

After that, they would be subject to varying degrees of surveillance.

So.

If Qi Si truly wanted to deal with someone like Li Xu, it would be simpler than crushing an ant.

Hearing Shen Yan deliberately mention Li Xu, Qi Si gave her a longer look, “Are you friends with Li Xu?”

“We’ll be colleagues in the same company soon, so we must get along. He’s a bit odd,” Shen Yan averted her gaze from Qi Si and casually mentioned, “He kept asking me about internal matters of Xinyu tonight, and it seemed he also mentioned Qi Group…”

The first part was true, but the last sentence was added by Shen Yan.

Qi Si responded with an unruffled tone, “Qi Group has a branch office in Shen City, it’s not unusual to mention it in passing.”

“Maybe he’s just curious about Qi Group,” Shen Yan hinted, assuming that with Qi Si’s intelligence, he would be cautious.

Although she believed there were no issues within Qi Si’s company, not everyone in such a large company was law-abiding.

Shen Yan also wanted to be of help to Qi Si.

Seeing no particular reaction from Qi Si, Shen Yan knew he had taken note and didn’t bring up the subject again.

“My mother-in-law hasn’t left Shen City, have her over for a meal at our place tomorrow.”

Qi Si suddenly mentioned Gu Ting.

Shen Yan said, “I’ll let her know.”

“I’ve already arranged it.”

Meaning he had already made the arrangements with Gu Ting, and the previous statement was just to inform Shen Yan.

Shen Yan felt that Qi Si made things too easy for her.

There couldn’t be many husbands who did as much as he did.
