Chapter 195 - 195 195 Discover Their Cooperation_1

Chapter 195: Chapter 195: Discover Their Cooperation_1 Chapter 195: Chapter 195: Discover Their Cooperation_1 Seeing that Chen Momo was obedient, Shen Yaxuan was quite satisfied.

Then, he began to show concern for Chen Momo’s health, “How are your injuries?”

She had been fine until he asked about it, but it instantly stirred up a slew of grievances in her.

“Mr. Shen, who did you hire for this? It was supposed to be a simple act, with minor injuries. But why did I get hurt so badly?”

Thinking back to when she was hit by a car and lost so much blood, she felt a surge of fear.

Petrified, she wondered if she might die right there.

Thankfully, she was fortunate enough to survive.

Shen Yaxuan chuckled lightly, “Did you think Bo Jingyan could be so easily hoodwinked?”

“He had already initiated an investigation. If I hadn’t taken care of loose ends, and if you hadn’t been so severely injured, do you think you would have sailed through this so easily?”

On hearing this, Chen Momo felt a chill run down her spine.

“Does he hold any suspicions against me now?” she asked, feeling frightened.

“Not for now, but I can’t guarantee that if you let anything slip in the future!” Shen Yaxuan casually revealed this harsh truth.

The news turned Chen Momo’s face deathly pale.

“Mr. Shen, if I do reveal anything and arouse Mr. Bo’s suspicion, you’ll certainly help me, right?” she asked hesitantly, sounding apprehensive.

Shen Yaxuan was unpredictable, a blend of good and evil. Despite being partners, she remained concerned.

“Of course!” Shen Yaxuan chuckled lightly and handed her a peeled orange, “We are partners after all. As long as you behave, I will undoubtedly help you.”

Chen Momo accepted the orange somewhat uncertainly.

As she prepared to show her loyalty, suddenly…

“Miss, is everything alright? Why are you standing outside the ward? Do you need any help?” A worried voice of a nurse came from the corridor.

The expressions of Chen Momo and Shen Yaxuan immediately changed and they exchanged glances.

Shen Yaxuan signaled her to be quiet, then got up and opened the door to the ward.

He found himself face to face with the person outside.

“Qingtian?” Shen Yaxuan said, surprised.

Xia Qingtian also looked bewildered. If she hadn’t seen Chen Momo in the hospital room through the open door…

She would have definitely believed that she had walked into the wrong room.

She looked at Shen Yaxuan incredulously, “What are you doing here?”

Shen Yaxuan smiled, “I came to visit Grandpa Bo, but he has already been discharged. Just as I was about to leave, I saw Momo in the next room, so I dropped by to say hi.”

“I see!” Xia Qingtian muttered, deep in thought.

Shen Yaxuan asked her nonchalantly, “Are you here to visit Momo?”

“Yes.” Xia Qingtian raised the soup in her hand, “I brought this soup for her on behalf of my grandfather.”

Originally, Grandpa Bo had planned to deliver it himself.

However, knowing that Chen Momo was up to no good, she didn’t trust her and didn’t want Grandpa Bo to have too much contact with her.

So, she voluntarily took the responsibility of delivering the soup.

“I see.” Shen Yaxuan stepped aside to let her in, saying, “Actually, we were just talking about you, and we didn’t expect you to come.”

“Really? What about?” Xia Qingtian smirked, revealing a scornful smile. “Did you bad mouth me?”

“No, Momo was saying that she has upset you and that you’ve been angry with her lately. She’s very upset.” spoke Shen Yaxuan in an insouciant manner.

“Huh,” sneered Xia Qingtian, “Do you think that I will believe such a deceptive lie?”

Shen Yaxuan looked her in the eye and said, “You must have heard what we were talking about while you were standing outside. Why don’t you believe it?”

Chen Momo watched Xia Qingtian nervously.

She knew that Shen Yaxuan had said all that just to gauge if Xia Qingtian had overheard their conversation.

Shen Yaxuan was her secret weapon and she didn’t want to reveal him to Xia Qingtian.

What if she tells Mr. Bo, arousing his suspicion? It would then be hard for Shen Yaxuan to help her secretly.

Xia Qingtian looked confused, “What are you talking about?”

It didn’t look like she was pretending, so Shen Yaxuan retracted his probing gaze and relaxed.

“It’s nothing. I heard the nurse’s question and thought you might have heard our conversation,” he said.

After he finished speaking, he wore an upset look.

“Since you didn’t hear it, Momo and I won’t be able to clear our names by jumping into the Yellow River. We really didn’t talk about you.”

Xia Qingtian rolled her eyes, “I don’t care whether you were talking about me or not.”

She placed the soup heavily on the bedside table, saying impassively, “I brought the soup here on behalf of Grandpa. Now that it’s been delivered, I’m leaving.”

Upon finishing, she turned around to leave.

Shen Yaxuan offered to escort her back but she vehemently refused, “No need. As I said before, I don’t want to have any relationship with you.”

All Shen Yaxuan could do was stand there and watch Xia Qingtian leave, his eyes filled with affection.

“That was so frightening. I thought our conversation had been overheard by Qingtian.” Chen Momo said, patting her chest with a lingering fear.

Shen Yaxuan had a thoughtful expression on his face.

But he didn’t say anything, only assuring, “Looks like we need to be more careful with our conversations in the future.”

“Understood!” Chen Momo nodded with deep agreement.

After all, once bitten twice shy, isn’t it?

After leaving the hospital, Xia Qingtian’s expression turned serious.

In fact, she had lied!

She had heard faint murmurs of Chen Momo and Shen Yaxuan’s conversation outside the ward.

Though she couldn’t make out the details, she had caught a few words.

They had mentioned something about “cooperation” and “obedience.”

She had suspected someone was helping Chen Momo dupe Bo Jingyan’s investigation of the car accident.

Connecting the dots with the words she had learned today…

She had reasons to believe that the person helping Chen Momo was—

Shen Yaxuan!!!

This situation demanded further investigation.

But since she had no investigative skills or connections, the only option was to hire a private detective.

Xia Qingtian contacted Senior Gu Jinchen, asking for his help in recommending a capable and trustworthy private detective.

Being true to his friendship, Gu Jinchen did not hesitate in recommending one.

Xia Qingtian handed over the case to the detective.

Whether her suspicion was true or not, soon the truth would surface.

…

A few days passed.

Chen Momo was finally released by the doctor to go home and rest.

Moreover, she succeeded in moving into Bo Jingyan’s mansion.
