Chapter 841: Chapter 841: Grasshoppers on the Same Rope

Xia Qingtian, after hearing Bo Jingyan’s words, suddenly realized something.

Her eyes sparkled as she looked at Bo Jingyan and pressed, "Have you already made all the arrangements?"

Bo Jingyan just smiled and didn’t answer her question, but she understood anyway.

It turned out that unbeknownst to her, Bo Jingyan had already secretly made all the arrangements and had just not told her.

Xia Qingtian was really curious about what exactly he had done, but with Bo’s mother watching nearby, it was not convenient to keep asking questions. All she could do was hold on to her hopeful mood, waiting for Bo Jingyan to reveal it slowly.

As she thought about it, she didn’t ask any further, but glanced several times towards the direction of the restroom.

Then, she bumped Bo Jingyan’s arm and whispered, "Shi Qian has been inside for quite some time now. What do you think she is doing? Is she really feeling sick from bad food, or is she calling someone behind the scenes for help?"

"It doesn’t matter," Bo Jingyan said indifferently.

He was indifferent to anything related to Shi Qian, maintaining a careless attitude. After all, whatever Shi Qian did, in his view, was merely a dying struggle and wouldn’t change anything in the end.

Seeing his attitude, Xia Qingtian felt relieved but also shook her head helplessly.

She didn’t know why Shi Qian was so desperate to cling to such a solid block of ice.

If she could have been more compliant, with Bo’s mother’s affection for her and her life-saving favor to Bo’s mother, both her career and romantic paths would have been smooth sailing. She was the epitome of someone who had squandered good opportunities on her own.

At that moment, Shi Qian, who had squandered her good opportunities, was madly calling Shen Junru, sweating profusely.

Shen Junru was busy with something and did not answer the phone.

She was almost freaking out, pacing back and forth in the restroom, mumbling, "Pick up the phone, pick up the phone please."

After dozens of calls, Shen Junru finally answered.

"What’s the matter?" Shen Junru asked, somewhat impatiently.

Upon getting her to answer, Shi Qian, clutching at straws, said, "Junjun, listen to me, Bo Jingyan knows about his mother’s fake medical records. If this isn’t managed well, I’m doomed!"

"How did he find out?" Shen Junru frowned and asked.

Shi Qian was on the verge of tears, shaking her head, "I don’t know, but he just knows, and he mentioned having evidence that is on its way here. If Bo’s mom sees the evidence, I’ll have no one left to defend me. Falling into Bo Jingyan’s hands, I’ll live a life worse than death!"

"What evidence does he hold?" Shen Junru asked her.

"I... I don’t know," Shi Qian bit her lip.

Bo Jingyan had suddenly exposed this matter today, catching her off guard, and she still had no clear understanding of the situation or the evidence Bo Jingyan held.

Shen Junru took a deep breath, suppressed the irritation in her heart, and said with frustration, "You don’t even know what evidence Bo Jingyan holds, how am I supposed to help you?"

Shi Qian knew she was putting Shen Junru in a difficult position.

But she couldn’t think of any other way than asking for Shen Junru’s help.

"Junjun, you have to help me!" Her tone was full of pleading. "We are allies. Without me, it will not only be difficult for you to deal with Xia Qingtian, but you’ll also risk exposing yourself."

"Who said I want to deal with Xia Qingtian?" Shen Junru retorted coldly.

Afraid that she would refuse to help, Shi Qian, in a bid to align her to her own camp, let everything out, revealing bluntly, "Don’t think you can deceive me. I know Xia Qingtian is the true heiress of the Shen Family by blood, and your mother is the false one. You don’t want Xia Qingtian to be found by the Shen Family, which is why you want to deal with her, to have her disappear from this world forever."

"How did you know?" Shen Junru asked, her emotion flaring.

"Don’t worry about how I know. You just need to be aware that you have to help me," Shi Qian was utterly anxious and had no mood to discuss the grievances of the Shen Family. She just wanted to safely get through this ordeal.

Shen Junru took a deep breath, trying to calm herself. Right now, she had to stabilize Shi Qian to prevent her from saying anything reckless.

"Right now, I can only try my best to help you, but you also know that A City is Bo Jingyan’s territory. Plus, you don’t have any information to provide me, so I might not be able to help you in time," she tried to soothe Shi Qian’s emotions, guiding her, "If you really get exposed, don’t talk recklessly. As long as I am not noticed by Bo Jingyan, he won’t be wary of me. He’s in the light, and I’m in the dark, we can still plan long-term and find other ways to help you."

"But once you rat me out, then both of us can only fail together, without any chance to turn the tables. Do you understand?"

Shi Qian, on hearing this, gradually calmed down.

She admitted that Shen Junru was right. With the Shen Family’s enormous influence, as long as Shen Junru was still willing to stand behind and support her, she could still have a chance to turn things around.

"I understand," she assured Shen Junru, "Don’t worry, I won’t rat you out!"

Shen Junru was about to warn her further when suddenly...

"Junru, who are you speaking to?" a male voice suddenly rang out.

Fearing her guilt, Shen Junru instinctively hung up on Shi Qian, then turned to face the man behind her, sporting a sweet smile as if nothing had happened, "It was my mom’s call. She told me to take good care of you, Third Brother."

The man standing before her was Shen Lie, the third young master of the Shen Family.

Shen Lie, somewhat amused, said, "You silly girl, I’m your brother. It should be me taking care of you, not the other way around."

Shen Junru sweetly responded, "Yes, I know, Third Brother, you’re always the best to me."

As she spoke, she tactfully changed the subject, "Third Brother, how come you came alone? What about eldest brother and second brother?"

"They had some last-minute matters to attend to, so they asked me to come over first to see if we could find our aunt," Shen Lie, unsuspecting, continued the conversation.

Mentioning Shen Lanxin triggered a flicker of gloom in Shen Junru’s eyes, quickly buried away.

Pretending to be clueless, she asked, "Is it confirmed that our aunt is in A City now?"

"Yes, it’s confirmed!" Shen Lie sounded very certain. "I believe it won’t be long before we locate her whereabouts."

Shen Junru lowered her eyes and said, "Yes, Third Brother, I believe you!"
