Chapter 66: The Mastermind


Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations


s.h.i.+ Lu became serious and told Yuan Shu some of his guesses and what he had said to Chu Mei.


Yuan Shu listened carefully and thought about what had happened in the past few days, as well as her understanding of the development of the story, and determined that what s.h.i.+ Lu said was true.


In that case, the most likely culprit was the Jiang family.


Moreover, s.h.i.+ Xiao’s disappearance was probably related to the Jiang family.


However, she didn’t understand why the Jiang family’s timing was so much earlier than in the book. Moreover, Chu Mei was only a small character to begin with. After the child’s matter was over, she had nothing to do with the rest of the plot.


Now, it seemed that she played an indispensable role in this matter and couldn’t be dealt with so easily.


Now that they were in the open and the enemy was in the dark, acting rashly was indeed a bad idea.


After Yuan Shu sorted out her thoughts, she said to s.h.i.+ Lu affirmatively, “It’s fine. You did the right thing. I’ll deal with Chu Mei’s matter. When the filming of ‘Gunshot’ is completed, the mastermind’s plan will fail. At that time, this scheme will unravel on its own.”


s.h.i.+ Lu nodded in agreement.


“It’s just that there’s another problem now. Although Chu Mei’s press conference only promoted this movie, the public opinion on the internet keeps mentioning the Li family. I’m worried that Chu Mei won’t be able to last until the filming of this movie is over. Moreover, the review will take a long time.”


Yuan Shu asked him, “How long do you think it will take to finish filming and reviewing?”


s.h.i.+ Lu frowned. He had a pair of very good-looking eyes, which was the finis.h.i.+ng touch on his handsome face. He always had an aloof look on his face.


After he calculated it, he said with a solemn gaze, “A month. If nothing goes wrong, this drama will be wrapped up in a month. However, if the person behind the scenes wants to cause trouble, the review might take up a year or two. However, if everything goes smoothly, this drama will be broadcasted in three months. As long as we hold on for another four months, after this drama is broadcasted, it won’t affect us no matter how much trouble Chu Mei causes. She’s just a p.a.w.n for the person behind the scenes.”


s.h.i.+ Lu was trapped by the contract of ‘Gunshot’ and thought that the crux of the problem was there, but Yuan Shu realized that the matter wasn’t that complicated.


She said, “Actually, there are only so many things that can be done behind the scenes. They’re all targeting the Li family. They want to use Chu Mei to break off ties with the Li family. We can throw this problem to the Li family and let them resolve it.”


s.h.i.+ Lu was enlightened. That was indeed the case.


“But how can we get the Li family to cooperate now?”


Yuan Shu picked up the small handbag that she had placed on the table. She didn’t like this kind of bag with a chain slung over her shoulder. It felt very c.u.mbersome. It was better to hold this small bag in her hand directly. It was more convenient for placing her cell phone and cash. More importantly, it was more convenient to throw. However, it was still inferior to darts.


She stood up and said calmly, “It seems like I have to ask Li Ci out for a chat.”


Li Ran was sitting in Li Ci’s office as she stared blankly at the gloomy weather outside the French window. The weather was as gloomy as her mood.


Li Ci brewed a pot of Longjing tea and the fragrance of tea filled the office as he poured a cup for himself.


“I heard that he didn’t go home last night?” Of course, Li Ci was referring to Gao Shan.


Li Ran sighed softly. “Yes.”


Li Ci looked at the clear tea as he lamented, “Silly girl, he doesn’t even dare to face you. Why do you have to hide from him?”


His niece always did things that hurt herself in order to protect Gao Shan’s relations.h.i.+p with the Li family. How could such a proud girl be deceived by Gao Shan back then…


Li Ran didn’t speak. She just looked out of the window calmly. This was the last chance she gave Gao Shan, and also the last chance she gave him to make things clear between them.


She didn’t go home last night because she knew that if the two of them met, with her arrogant and stubborn temper, even if she wanted to communicate, she definitely wouldn’t listen to Gao Shan finish speaking.


She didn’t want to make things so unpleasant. She thought that no matter how bad their relations.h.i.+p was, they should make things clear after so many years.


Hence, she didn’t go home because she wanted to wait for Gao Shan to call her, give her an explanation, and give her a way out.


This was also their agreement.


“If one day, we eventually separate, you have to take the initiative to look for me. No matter what happens then, I will definitely suppress my temper and listen to your explanation.”


This was what Li Ran had said to Gao Shan before they got married. It was a promise Gao Shan had given her..
