Chapter 442: Chapter 0443 Worthy of Trust

At the entrance of the restaurant, someone called the police amidst the crowd, and soon the police arrived, temporarily ending the struggle between the three women.

Lin Lin had the most severe injuries, her face swollen beyond recognition; it was hard to tell who she was without a closer look.

Shen Mimi and Shen Yaoyao had minimal injuries, with just some disheveled clothes and hair.

Standing aside, after a fierce fight, they were both gasping for breath, struggling to calm their pounding chests.

Lin Lin cried out in pain, desperately clinging to the police’s clothes, "Officer, you must arrest them all, this is outright bullying in broad daylight!"

The police glanced at the injuries on her face. Judging from the scene, it indeed seemed like two people were bullying one, but their job wasn’t just to take things at face value.

"Let’s start by explaining why you were fighting," the police officer said while taking notes.

Lin Lin, covering her face, cried, "Officer, can I go to the hospital first to check on my face? It hurts so much, will it disfigure me?"

The patient officer listened and called another policeman to take her to the hospital.

The recording officer approached Shen Yaoyao and asked, "Tell me, why did you fight?"

Shen Yaoyao, proud and unapologetic about her recent actions, declared, "That woman is a mistress! Besides, she hit me first! Look how she messed up my hair!"

The officer immediately understood the situation, but who struck first needed further investigation.

"Officer, don’t think we bullied her just because there are two of us. She hit me first, and mistresses are like rats crossing the street, everyone shouts at them, we did nothing wrong."

The officer watched Shen Yaoyao speechlessly, as this young girl really had a slick tongue.

He methodically asked some questions, then took down Shen Yaoyao and Shen Mimi’s contact information before leaving.

Shen Yaoyao took a deep breath; the fight had unexpectedly relieved her as if her constrained body was suddenly relaxed.

After the police left, Chu Ge stepped forward to where Shen Yaoyao stood, cheerfully watching her and teased, "I didn’t expect you to be a fighter."

Shen Yaoyao, surprised to encounter Chu Ge here, commented despondently, "Don’t tell me you were just watching from the side!"

And didn’t even come to help!

Chu Ge nodded, "Wars between women are better left untouched by men. Plus, you were quite formidable yourself, no need for my help."

"You!" Shen Yaoyao was at a loss for words and glared at him annoyed.

By then, Shen Mimi had recovered somewhat, her expression awkward as she watched Shen Yaoyao’s back, her eyes revealing an unfathomable look—she never believed Shen Yaoyao would genuinely stand up for her.

She even remembered, just yesterday they had fought over a trivial matter.

Chu Ge’s gaze fell on Shen Mimi, calm and unyielding, it made Shen Mimi grow increasingly uneasy.

She coughed lightly, somewhat awkwardly stepped forward, "Shen Yaoyao, don’t think just helping me this time will make me grateful, we haven’t made peace yet."

Shen Yaoyao turned around, scoffed disdainfully, "Who wants your gratitude? I’m just upset that as a member of the Shen Family, being bullied tarnishes our family’s honor. You might not mind losing face, but I, Shen Yaoyao, cannot afford to!"

Shen Mimi parted her lips, wanting to say something but still didn’t speak. She glanced at Shen Yaoyao and Chu Ge, then turned her head and left.

Chu Ge, watching Shen Mimi’s departing figure, said somewhat speechlessly, "This was a great opportunity for reconciliation between you sisters, why be insincere?"

Shen Yaoyao glared fiercely at Chu Ge, her tone somewhat urgent, "Who said I wanted to reconcile with her? Wishful thinking! After all she’s done to wrong me, I wouldn’t forgive her so easily!"

Chu Ge shook his head speechlessly, what an insincere woman!

Shen Yaoyao didn’t want to continue discussing this topic. She touched her stomach and asked Chu Ge, "Are you guys eating nearby? Can you take me along? I’m so hungry."

Huo Tianqian said with a cheerful laugh, "Of course, it would be an honor."

The trio returned to the private dining room. Shen Congwen looked at Shen Yaoyao with appreciative eyes, "I didn’t expect Miss Shen to be such a heroine among women."

Shen Yaoyao chuckled awkwardly and replied unabashedly, "It seems even Mr. Shen moans pitifully when climbing out of bed."

Shen Congwen twitched the corner of his lips and wisely shut up.

Chu Ge sat down, picked up his chopsticks to grab some vegetables, and his gaze inadvertently glanced at a speck of white powder next to the chopsticks.

Driven by curiosity or perhaps some other motivation, Chu Ge put down the chopsticks and gently gathered the white powder.

He sniffed it at the tip of his nose, but it had no scent.

Seeing this, Shen Congwen asked somewhat puzzled, "Mr. Chu, what’s wrong?"

Chu Ge shook his head, "Nothing, maybe I’m just too sensitive."

Since entering the door, Chu Ge’s right eyelid had been twitching, feeling as if something was about to happen.

Shen Yaoyao glanced at him and joked, "What, scared someone might poison you?"

Saying this, she picked up the chopsticks and grabbed a bite of the dish Chu Ge had wanted to eat, and while calling out, she said, "Let me help you taste the food."

After one bite, she took another, continuing until she had eaten half the dish. Shen Yaoyao then put down her chopsticks with satisfaction, smacked her lips, and said cheerfully, "This dish is not bad, no poison, it’s edible."

Chu Ge shook his head speechlessly and took a bite.

At that moment, across from their private room on the second floor by the window, Lin was anxiously fiddling with the binoculars.

He had been watching that pot of tea since Chu Ge entered and hadn’t touched it for a long time; he even noticed the tea was placed somewhat improperly.

Chu Ge sat in the main seat, the teapot in front of Huo Tianqian. Lin was a bit worried and also regretting not having put some poison in their food as well!

Just then, Lin’s mobile rang, it was Honda Sakura calling.

Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead due to anxiety, Lin answered the call.

"How’s it going?" Honda Sakura asked in a calm tone.

"The poison has been administered, just waiting for Chu Ge to drink it, and then it will be a success!" Lin silently prayed in his heart not to mess this up.

Hearing this, Honda Sakura smiled satisfied, "I knew I picked the right person, you are a trustworthy partner. I’ll await your good news then."
