Liu Fangyu turned around, looked at Xiao Sheng's profile seriously, and said, "Of course I saved you! Because Yuan Shu wouldn't be stupid enough to fall into the water."

Xiao Sheng was speechless.

She might as well not answer.

Yuan Shu and Shi Xiao sat together in the back seat of the car, the shadows of the street lamps changing rapidly on their bodies.

Yuan Shu reminded him, "Why did you suddenly stand up and speak for me today? You know we are still acting now."

Shi Xiao said confidently: "I already know who the mastermind is. I don't think it's necessary to continue acting."

"Who is it?" Yuan Shu looked at Shi Xiao and asked.

"Li Ci."

This is a bit surprising.

Yuan Shu also suspected Li Ci, but Li Ci had a very close relationship with them, and his every move was under their eyes. It was hard for Yuan Shu to believe that he could do so many things behind their backs.

On the other hand, because she used to have a close relationship with Li Ci and he was a friend that Yuan Shu rarely admired, she was unwilling to suspect that all this was done by Li Ci.

Just as he was thinking, Shi Xiao suddenly turned around and met Yuan Shu's almond-shaped eyes. He said seriously: "Besides, I can't just watch you being bullied and do nothing."

Yuan Shu was stunned. It was the first time she saw Shi Xiao so serious and solemn. She was a little uncomfortable.

She avoided his gaze in panic and looked out the window again.

Yuan Shu always appears strong and capable in front of outsiders, but in fact, when it comes to relationships, she is a rookie. Although she is married, she only knows how to manage a family and knows nothing about relationships.

Shi Xiao was secretly delighted, but he still talked about business. "When I was acting, I had already investigated the spies in the company, and I also read the information you sent. I also investigated the Wei family. According to the complicated relationships of the Wei family, I will definitely not let go of the Wei family's affairs easily."

Yuan Shu's expression returned to normal, and he asked seriously, "What did you find out?"

Shi Xiao said: "Although I don't know exactly how much power Li Ci has, I can roughly guess that Wei Ci is in charge of public relations in the Wei family, the Wu and Zhou families in the entertainment industry, Chen Chen who runs a software company, and Liu Cheng in the hospital."

Yuan Shu couldn't help but say, "He is indeed very powerful." After saying this, she realized that she seemed to have overlooked something, and frowned at him: "Why didn't you mention Tan Jing?"

Shi Xiao stared out the window silently. It was rare for him to be so conflicted. He thought about it for a long time but still couldn't figure it out. He could only express his thoughts first. "I do suspect that Tan Jing is Li Ci's subordinate, but today I saw Li Ci and Chen Chen getting so close. I suddenly felt that with Tan Jing's ambition, she would definitely not want to work for Li Ci, especially to be on the same level as Chen Chen."

The development of these families is also different. At the top of the social class in City A are naturally the Shi family, the Jiang family, the Song family, and the Li family.

Next are the Tan family, the Wang family, and the Xu family.

The other families were all small, unknown families. Although they could squeeze into the upper class, they were still far behind those prominent families. Tan Jing was arrogant and naturally looked down on small families like the Chen family.

"And Tan Jing has just gotten rid of Jiang Chen's control, so naturally she won't submit to Li Ci immediately." Yuan Shu thought about it and gave another reason.

Shi Xiao frowned even more tightly, "That's why I'm worried that Tan Jing is following someone else's orders."

A person who was hiding deeper was secretly observing the unrest in City A and did so many things to stir up trouble and disrupt the status quo.

Shi Xiao was very worried that if they fought, it would give that man a chance to take advantage. That man was too cruel and might destroy all the families and restore order in City A.

Therefore, the major families now dare not act rashly, for fear that they might accidentally help others and end up hurting themselves.

"The enemy in the open is not scary, the enemy in the dark is the most frightening."

Yuan Shu blurted out a sentence that Jiang Chen often said. At this time, she couldn't help but frowned and asked, "Do you have a suspect this time?"

Shi Xiao shook his head.

This person is not from City A, nor does he come from a prominent family. He comes from the outside world, but he tries to interfere and approach everyone quietly.

The two looked at the scenery outside the window and fell silent.

After a while, Yuan Shu found that this road did not seem to be the way home, so he asked Shi Xiao: "Where are we going now?"

Shi Xiao said: "Since you don't have to act anymore, I'll take you home."

Yuan Shu was silent for a moment, and finally made a decision.

She asked Zhao Cheng to park the car on the side of the road. There was a riverside promenade, so Yuan Shu suggested, "Let's go down and take a walk."

Shi Xiao didn’t know what Yuan Shu wanted to do, but he still followed her downstairs.

The two strolled along the river. The bright moonlight and the dim street lights illuminated the river. The willow trees by the river swayed, and the scenery was peaceful and beautiful.

Yuan Shu's long skirt glowed faintly under the light, like a red rose blooming in the night, aloof and enchanting.

After walking for a long time, Yuan Shu suddenly stopped. She looked ahead and said to the people around her in a calm tone, "Shi Xiao, I think we should get a divorce."

Shi Xiao stopped and continued to follow Yuan Shu. He had expected this day to come.

Yuan Shu has been working in the company for two weeks, and this is the first time that Shi Xiao has observed her actions so carefully.

Compared to listening to other people's reports, the interaction with Yuan Shu at work allows Shi Xiao to feel Yuan Shu's decisiveness and courage. Not only can she deal with emergencies calmly, but she is also meticulous in handling trivial matters. Yuan Shu has a sense of the overall situation and handles things in moderation.

Shi Xiao had a guess in his mind that if he handed this group over to Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu might be able to run the group better than him. However, Yuan Shu had a fatal flaw. She didn't understand how shameless and insidious some people were.

Because Yuan Shuxin was simple-minded, she couldn't imagine that those people would do anything to achieve their goals. She would never do such a shameful thing. With her personality, she could manage the Shi Group well, but she couldn't dominate City A.

Because Yuan Shu has a decisive character, no one can interfere with her decision. She is a person who will never look back, so Shi Xiao had already expected that Yuan Shu would file for divorce one day, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.

Yuan Shu continued, "I have found the mastermind you are looking for, and I have done everything I can to help you, so I think now is the best time to divorce."

Shi Xiao did not answer her directly, but pointed to a chair and said, "Let's sit down and rest."

Yuan Shu nodded silently, her brows slightly relaxed. She was very calm and did not think too much. She did not expect Shi Xiao to reject her, nor did she expect Shi Xiao to agree to her. She just calmly stated her decision, a decision that would not change.

The two sat on a bench, looking at the calm water.

The moonlight reflected on the water, making it look as if it was covered with a layer of fish scales.

After a while, Shi Xiao said, "Okay."

Shi Xiao looked at Yuan Shu's elegant profile, which was full of determination.

Shi Xiao tried his best to make his tone less stiff, and said with a smile: "Tomorrow, we will go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to handle the divorce procedures and end this short-lived cooperation."
