Chapter 522 - A Ten-day Covenant

She thought she had done it so thoughtfully and she could make an acquaintance with Xia Yu and Fang Feifei as usual. But who could expect that the film industry was troublesome? In order to make a success, she had to rely on Zeng Mina and Zhou Jiamin and did many things against her own will.

She was in a dilemma. On the one hand, she felt Xia Yu was sincere to her and she was guilty about her. On the other hand, she was afraid of Shen Yan, fearing that she might receive harsh punishment from Shen Yan if she crossed the line.

However, she couldn’t resist the allure if she didn’t take action. So it took several months to get through such a dilemma. The fact was that after she worked for them, she was given quite a lot of roles.

She once planned that if one day she became a celebrity, she would stop working for them. Actually, she kept self-deceiving all the time but she was more and more involved unexpectedly and finally, she got lost in it.

“Young Master Yan, I can’t afford to provoke Young Master Mo.” Cai Yanyan was not a fool. Xiao Man didn’t tell her explicitly that it was Shen Mo who incited her to do that.

But Xiao Man hinted that it was someone that she would never dare to provoke who told her to do it. If Cai Yanyan had the guts to refuse, she would not only ruin herself but also be excluded in S city.

Who else except Shen Mo had the almighty power to threaten her?

But Cai Yanyan should not be blamed for suspecting him. After all, the competition between Shen Yan and him came into a crucial moment and he got a form.

“Cai Yanyan, do you know what you’re talking about?” The door was kicked open and two bodyguards entered first, followed by Shen Mo and Zhang Hanyu who was the person talking to her.

No wonder Shen Yan held the pistol at Shen Mo, blaming it all on him. How could Shen Yan not risk his life fighting with him? However, this time Shen Mo had been wronged, indeed. He was the most miserable victim in the world.

“Cai Yanyan, are you sure that it is I who force you to do that?” Shen Mo walked in with a gloomy face.

This time he was victimized. At home, no one spoke to him, including maids and even his mother. He became the target of public censure.

He had thought that after finding those people, he would be given justice. But what the bitch Cai Yanyan said cost him all the efforts. What was the use of looking for those people? He would rather let Shen Yan shoot him to death directly.

Seeing Shen Mo come in, Cai Yanyan was scared to sit on the floor at once. How miserable! The minute she mentioned Shen Mo’s name, he came in.

According to Shen Mo’s temper, he would definitely end her life. Shivering fiercely, Cai Yanyan said in a trembling voice, “Young Master Mo, I don’t want to say that. It was, it was Xiao Man who told me so when she forced me….”

“You, you bitch court death!” The two bodyguards went over to drag Cai Yanyan from the floor. In front of Young Master Mo, this woman was so arrogant.

Cai Yanyan felt the air become thinner and she might faint away at any time. She wished she could faint away so that she would be spared from their heckling.

But, she didn’t, “I’m not lying. Xiao Man told me so. I swear, if you don’t believe me, I can defend myself in front of her.”

To such a pass, Cai Yanyan decided to risk everything and said out all she knew.

Cai Yanyan was by no means an unyielding person. When she was cornered, she told the truth. However, who had the guts to frame Young Master Mo? Zhang Hanyu’s brows folded tightly.

“You bitch won’t stop talking!” Seeing Cai Yanyan accusing Shen Mo in front of him, the bodyguards felt like choking her to death.

“I, I, I’m wrong. I shut up.” Cai Yanyan had been wronged. It was they who forced her to say so. Hearing what she said was a disadvantage to them, they turned against her.

Trimming her said to the wind was Cai Yanyan’s major. But Shen Yan was sitting aside, she dared not to lie.

“What do you mean? Will you let her say?” Shen Yan finally asked aside. Now he heard the words with his own ears, without bullying or torturing her.

“Shen Yan, I can swear, I didn’t do that. But I don’t understand why this woman says that. I told you I would give you an explanation.” Shen Mo obviously heard Cai Yanyan’s words.

Otherwise, he would probably believe what his underlings said that Shen Yan deliberately framed him for he wanted a higher position. Otherwise, why those people disappear and escape the security cameras upon the arrival of him and his men?

But Cai Yanyan’s words dispelled his misgivings about Shen Yan. Cai Yanyan once worked for him so Shen Mo knew her nature.

“Really? Then, tell me what’s your explanation?” Shen Yan sneered. He got bored of hearing it. Was it necessary for him to say it again?

“Ten days. Give me ten days. Ten days later, I’m at your disposal if I fail to give you an explanation.” Shen Mo said after giving a thought.

Although ten days were rather limited, he knew if he procrastinated Shen Yan would not agree. So, he finally made up his mind to say ten days.

“Do you believe I’ll believe you?” Shen Yan sneered. What he witnessed at home deeply disappointed him. Didn’t the venerable Old Madame weigh fame over any other things?

But yesterday she broke her words in order to let off Shen Mo. Moreover, as soon as Shen Mo took charge, those people were missing. Now how could Shen Yan believe them?

“Shen Yan, you don’t believe me?” Shen Mo frowned and looked at Shen Yan.

Giving a faint smile with a strong sneer, Shen Yan said, “Are you trustworthy?”

His words made Shen Mo feel awkward as well as embarrassed. Indeed, he, in front of Shen Yan, didn’t have enough courage.

Shen Yan did him many favors, showing his mercy instead of hatred. However, Shen Mo broke his heart again and again. Although Shen Mo also felt guilty, he didn’t want to become soft-hearted or else Shen Group would fall into Shen Yan’s hands.

He did try to be clever but being the chairperson of such a big financial group required wisdom, courage and power that Shen Yan didn’t have. Therefore, Shen Mo would rather receive social censure and Shen Yan’s misunderstanding. He was determined to be harsh on that matter.

Wasn’t there a saying that eagles didn’t catch flies? He believed that one day Shen Yan would understand him. But at present Shen Yan obviously not only didn’t understand him but also feel deeply disappointed at him.

Shen Mo was sure now that he must have been framed. The enemies were in the dark while he was exposed to the light. If the two brothers kept fighting with each other, it would only do the enemies good and bring harm to the brothers.

They couldn’t remain the deadlock so Shen Mo said bluntly, “Ten days. Whether or not did I figure out the result, I’ll give you an explanation.”

“To be more specific, don’t let my second brother look callous.” Shen Qiang curled his lips and walked in.

“Xiao Qiang, you mean?” This brother caused Shen Mo a headache but he had no way to deal with him.

“You say ten days, which includes a couple of possibilities. One is that you find those people in ten days, which leads to some other circumstances. Those people may accuse you or they refuse to confess,” Shen Qiang sneered, “if so, what will you do?”

Though he knew this lad was cunning as if he was a junior Shen Yan, he didn’t expect this lad to say out all the cases which were inconvenient for Shen Yan to say. Zhang Hanyu kept frowning while hearing aside. But he could only bear it. He knew he had no right to interrupt.

“If they accuse me, I will take responsibility and listen to Shen Yan’s disposal. Even though he wants to shoot me to death or he asks Old Madame to cut me off from Shen Family, I will accept it. If they don’t speak, I’ll interrogate them with Shen Yan until they confess.” When Shen Mo said so, he looked at Shen Qiang, wondering if this answer would satisfy him.

Shen Qiang waved his phone. He had it recorded so he didn’t worry that Shen Mo might break his word. At that time, if Shen Mo dared to make a fuss, he would release the record in public. “Well, it is the result that you find those people. Then, let’s discuss if you can’t find them? Old Madame broke her words yesterday. Do you expect her to be partial to you again?”

These words sounded harsh in front of so many people, which made Shen Mo blush. He felt like venting his anger but in vain.

But the fact was what Shen Qiang said was the truth. He felt angry for a while and then said, “If I don’t find those people in ten days, I’ll take the punishment as the person who violated the role.”

“You say this of your own accord. With so many witnesses at present, I’m not forcing you,” Shen Qiang put his phone back into the pocket and said with a soft smile, “even though you say I’m forcing you, no one will believe because you bring bodyguards with you.”

“Third Young Master, stop talking please.” Seeing Shen Mo in a rage, Zhang Hanyu said aside.

Shen Qiang lifted the corner of his mouth without saying anything. If you fear social censure, then don’t do it.

“Xiao Qiang, I agree to all of your requirements. Can I take this woman away?” Since she insisted it was Xiao Man who said so, he planned to interrogate if she did it.

“I’m afraid you can’t. My sister says she wants to see her and have questions for her.” Shen Qiang didn’t come to block Shen Mo in particular. What was his purpose was to bring Cai Yanyan to Xia Yu. Since he happened to meet Shen Mo, he felt like mocking him.

“Third Young Master, you only give us ten days. This person?” Zhang Hanyu said aside. He wanted to inquire Cai Yanyan of Xiao Man’s whereabouts. If Shen Qiang took her away, what could he do?

“My sister just wants to ask her a few questions and what she does will not sabotage your affairs. If my sister can find those people, it will be good for you too. Why should you worry?” Shen Qiang said, curling his lips.

It sounded reasonable but… Zhang Hanyu didn’t know how to reply Shen Qiang so he looked at Shen Mo and waited for his idea.

“Then you take the person to Xia Yu first and when you finish the interrogation you bring her back.” Xia Yu, as a victim, suffered so much so it was reasonable for her to interrogate Cai Yanyan. Shen Mo believed that she would not play nasty tricks.

“That’s the deal. I’ll take her away first and send her back later after the interrogation,” Seeing Shen Mo didn’t object, Shen Qiang walked to Cai Yanyan and said, “no one put a finger on you. Why do you collapse on the floor?”

Yes, no one attacked her but Cai Yanyan needed to gather up the strength to stand on her feet. She felt like crying when she saw the brothers reach an agreement in a while.
