“What does it mean?” Liu Lan didn’t expect Mei Shu to know so much.

Calculating, Mei Shu should have been in her teens at that time, likely the most innocent age. Yet, she remembered all these details and was now determined to personally investigate her mother’s death as she grew older.

Such calculations were beyond the capacity of an ordinary person.

Thinking about the secret she had buried deep in her heart, Liu Lan nervously looked at Mei Shu, waiting for what she would say next.

Mei Shu did not disappoint. She immediately hit upon the many years of secrets Liu Lan had buried.

“This means that you most likely witnessed the encounter between Zhou Nan and my mother back then. Perhaps you saw something that made you willingly give up a well-paid job just to ensure your safety.”

“That’s not true.” Liu Lan still wanted to deny it.

Mei Shu, however, produced a receipt of the report she had made to the police, “Shortly after my mother had an accident, you reported to the police that you were being followed and harassed by hooligans. However, since surveillance cameras weren’t common at that time, the police didn’t find those harassing you. Am I right?”

Liu Lan’s eyelids jumped fiercely. Obviously, she hadn’t expected Mei Shu to have such great abilities, even obtaining records from the police.

Her thoughts expanded further.

Could it be that Mei Shu wasn’t acting alone in investigating this matter? Could the entire Mei family be supporting her?

If that were the case, would continuing to conceal everything anger those influential people?

But that matter traumatized her deeply. She didn’t want to get into trouble easily, so she could only continue to deny it. “Although the police haven’t been found, those people probably didn’t target me on purpose. I never walked on the night road again, and then 1 was safe. They didn’t cause me any substantial harm, so I didn’t pursue the matter.”

“You can continue to say that, Mrs. Liu.” Mei Shu’s face turned cold. “But the evidence 1 have is definitely not just that much. To tell you the truth, Zhou Nan has already been caught. If you tell us everything you know, it will only make our Mei family owe you a favor. But if you choose to keep your mouth shut, someone might come to cause trouble for you.”

Liu Lan was indeed frightened by her. Her fingertips that were holding the cutlery turned green and white.

Her family was poor and powerless, and her husband was just a small contractor. In the past few years, business had been bad, and her daughter needed money to go to school. She could hardly make ends meet.

But this morning, her husband brought good news, saying that his direct leader was willing to hand over a large project to him. After doing it, his profits would be at least six figures, which happened to be able to make her daughter more comfortable in school. The two of them didn’t need to live a meticulous life.

Liu Lan thought that their family was going to be lucky, but she didn’t expect that what the other party wanted was the secret she had guarded for many years.

The idea of telling everything to Mei Shu tugged at her rationality.

After hesitating for a long time, she chose a relatively moderate way to refuse. “Miss Mei, 1 can understand your desire to investigate the cause of your mother’s death, but I really only know this much. Today’s meal is my treat, but 1 have something to do, so I’ll leave now.” ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ N(o)vᴇl(F)ire.net

After saying this, Liu Lan dared not look at Mei Shu again and went straight to the front desk to settle the bill.

Mei Shu sighed deeply.

She knew things wouldn’t progress too smoothly.

Just as she was worrying, the timid-looking man beside her suddenly held up a fork and handed it to her.

Mei Shu forced herself to sound a little cheerful, “Be good, Xiao Bao, eat by yourself. Sister doesn’t want to eat right now.”

When Xiao Bao heard this, he immediately put down the fork and lowered his head, refusing to speak.

Mei Shu quickly came over to coax him, “Xiao Bao, do you want Sister to feed you? Is that okay?”

Xiao Bao turned his head away, deliberately not looking at her.

Mei Shu smiled, “If you listen, Sister will let you speak, okay?”

Hearing this, Xiao Bao finally reacted. He turned his head to stare at Mei Shu, seemingly confirming if what she said was true. When he saw the beautiful eyes filled with a smile, he opened his mouth happily and ate the vegetable salad on the fork.

“Sister, can 1 talk now?”

Mei Shu gently touched his head, “Yes, but you can’t talk on the way. You have to wait until we get to the amusement park.”

“Are we going to the amusement park now?” Xiao Bao was so happy that he seemed ready to dance.

“Not now. We have to wait until you finish eating.” Mei Shu continued to feed him until the man beside her held his stomach and stopped her actions. Only then did she stop and take his hand, leaving the restaurant.

In the surveillance room, Jiang He looked at his Master Si being fed spoonful by spoonful by Mei Shu, feeling ashamed. He wished he could dig out everyone’s eyes in the room.

The manager next to him seemed to sense Jiang He’s bad mood and quickly complimented with a smile, “Master Si and his wife love each other so much. We all envy it..”
