97 Seeing Through People’s Hearts

Sun Yue was stunned and puzzled.

Jian Xing’er said indifferently, “I’m doing this to see who’s trustworthy. Only in a life-and-death situation can I see through people’s hearts.”

When Sun Yue heard Jian Xing’er’s words, she instantly understood.

Jian Xing’er continued, “I’m not only testing the leaders of Tianmei Corporation, but also everyone around me.”

Sun Yue nodded and said, “I understand!”

Jian Xing’er said, “Alright, go back and rest. We’ll settle this matter tomorrow.”

With that, Jian Xing’er flagged down a car and returned home.

Sun Yue looked at the car that was getting further and further away with a complicated expression.

Even now, Sun Yue still could not see through Jian Xing’er.

…

Jian Xing’er returned to the villa.

As soon as she entered the living room, she saw Shangguan Ding reading a book with a smile.

When Shangguan Ding saw Jian Xing’er return, he said, “You’re in big trouble. All the news outlets are reporting on Tianmei Corporation. The supervisor of Hai Province, Liu Xiaohong, will investigate Tianmei Corporation in three days. Your backer, the Li family, can’t help you this time. The Li family can’t even protect themselves.”

After a pause, Shangguan Ding continued, “But I can help you. Otherwise, Tianmei Corporation will definitely be screwed.”

Jian Xing’er said calmly, “Not necessarily.”

Shangguan Ding frowned and said, “You still care so much about your pride even in this situation? I’ll help you eliminate the Liu family, and Liu Xiaohong will disappear. Isn’t she just a supervisor of the Sea Province Chamber of Commerce? It’s nothing.”

Shangguan Ding indeed had the ability to do so.

However, Jian Xing’er could resolve this small matter as well.

Jian Xing’er didn’t take Liu Xiaohong seriously at all.

Jian Xing’er said directly, “I appreciate your kindness, but I’ll handle this matter myself.”

Shangguan Ding said with a smile, “Oh really? I also want to know what powerful methods you have to deal with Liu Xiaohong. Don’t come and beg me when you have no solution. I won’t help you at that time.”

Jian Xing’er said, “Don’t worry, I won’t beg you.”

Shangguan Ding snorted and said, “Alright, you said so yourself!”

Shangguan Ding took the initiative to help, but Jian Xing’er didn’t appreciate it. This made Shangguan Ding very unhappy.

Jian Xing’er also knew that Shangguan Ding had good intentions, but there was no need for Shangguan Ding to interfere in such a small matter. Jian Xing’er could resolve it herself.

Jian Xing’er didn’t want to owe anyone a favor.

The next morning, Jian Xing’er turned on the television. The news was broadcasting the news that the Sea Province Chamber of Commerce was preparing to investigate Tianmei Corporation.

This matter spread like wildfire in Sea City.

Every report seemed to be that of schadenfreude.

[Tianmei Corporation’s chairman has angered the upper echelons of Hai Province.]

[It has only been half a month since Tianmei Corporation was established and sealed off. All the glory disappeared overnight.]

[Tianmei Corporation is courting death.]

…

After Jian Xing’er turned off the television with indifference, she put on her shoes and ran out.

Morning jogs were good for the body.

Since she had nothing to do now, Jian Xing’er wanted to train her body.

Jian Xing’er didn’t take Tianmei Corporation’s matter to heart.

After running for a few kilometers, Jian Xing’er slowed down and prepared to go to a restaurant to eat breakfast.

At this moment, someone shouted, “Jian Xing’er…”

When Jian Xing’er turned around, she realized that it was Mr. Hou.

Mr. Hou got out of the car and immediately said, “I was about to look for you when I bumped into you. Two days ago, I tidied up the house and found this black safe. I remember that you came to our house back then. There’s probably a very precious item inside. Remember to come and get it.”

Upon hearing Mr. Hou’s words, Jian Xing’er remembered.

Jian Xing’er had brought that black safe in when she married Hou Junlai back then.

Inside, there were the belongings of Jian Xing’er’s parents and brother, as well as a family photo.

Jian Xing’er also wanted it back.

However, Jian Xing’er didn’t want to enter the Hou family’s home.

Jian Xing’er said, “Uncle, I’ll send someone to get it tonight.”

After Mr. Hou thought about it for a moment, he said, “You can come with me to get it now. I know you hate our family…”

Jian Xing’er interrupted Mr. Hou and said, “Alright, I’ll follow you now.”

If she didn’t stop Mr. Hou, he would definitely nag and lecture her non-stop.

Among those in the Hou family, Jian Xing’er only had a good impression of Mr. Hou.

After Jian Xing’er married into the Hou family, Mr. Hou never said anything bad about Jian Xing’er, nor did he despise her. When Mrs. Hou scolded Jian Xing’er, Mr. Hou even helped her.

Jian Xing’er immediately got into the front passenger seat.

Mr. Hou drove towards the Hou family’s house.

At this moment, in the Hou family’s villa.

Hou Junlai sat on the sofa with a serious expression as he watched the news broadcast on the television.
