Hearing this, Jiang Yi's brow furrowed.
It seemed Shen Lu had many secrets.
Since Shen Lu wasn't saying anything, he didn't need to press further.
"I believe you!" Jiang Yi said.
"Thank you!"
After speaking, Shen Lu continued, "Tomorrow, I will release the evidence of the Shen family's crimes to the public, letting everyone know what kind of people they are."
Jiang Yi nodded.
Shen Lu seemed to want to say something more, but she swallowed the words back.
After bidding Jiang Yi farewell, Shen Lu left.
The next morning, as Jiang Yi turned on the television, he saw news about the Shen family.
The Shen family was all over the headlines.
The matter of the Shen family using children for experiments spread throughout Jiang Province like wildfire.
Everyone learned of the Shen family's crimes, enraging both gods and men.
All members of the Shen family were arrested and awaited trial.
The Shen family's companies were vandalized, and their villa was not spared; it was burned to ruins.
Shen Lu's revenge was finally complete.
Dongfang Mei saw the news and said nothing.
Dongfang Mei knew about Shen Lu's plight and felt great sympathy for her.
After breakfast, Shen Lu arrived!
Despite her revenge being served, Shen Lu did not appear happy. Su Dan Novel Network.
"Your great revenge is achieved, why do you still look so downcast?" Dongfang Mei asked.
"I don't know why, I just feel very upset in my heart!"
Shen Lu took a deep breath.
"Revenge was the only courage that kept me alive. Now that it's done, I don't know where to go. Living feels meaningless."
"Don't you still have us?" Dongfang Mei smiled.
Her words deeply moved Shen Lu.
Jiang Yi smiled slightly, realizing Dongfang Mei was good at winning people over.
He himself felt great sympathy for Shen Lu.
His own purpose in life was to avenge his parents.
If, one day, he destroyed the assassin organization and its mastermind, he might feel the same as Shen Lu.
Shen Lu and he were kindred spirits.
"Don't forget, you still have one thing to do!" Dongfang Mei looked at Shen Lu.
"What is it?" Shen Lu asked, puzzled.
"Repay your kindness!"
Dongfang Mei said to Shen Lu, "Don't you always say Jiang Yi is your benefactor?"
Shen Lu nodded upon hearing this.
"Stay here. Jiang Yi might have many things that require your help."
After speaking, Dongfang Mei winked at Jiang Yi.
Jiang Yi understood Dongfang Mei's intention.
"That's right, I do need your help right now," Jiang Yi said with a smile.
"I had Chen Kun eliminate quite a few assassins from that organization in Jiang Province, but even so, less than half have been dealt with. This pace is too slow."
"I want to ask for your help to eliminate all the assassins in Jiang Province alongside Chen Kun. Besides, you haven't told me the exact location of that assassin organization's stronghold, nor the list of all its members, so you can't leave yet."
"I am willing to stay and help Mr. Jiang!" Shen Lu said with a smile.
Seeing Shen Lu agree, Dongfang Mei asked a servant to prepare a room for Shen Lu.
Shen Lu, meanwhile, went to pack her belongings.
Previously, Shen Lu had been staying in hotels.
After Shen Lu left, Dongfang Mei reminded Jiang Yi.
"I'm having Shen Lu stay to help you. If you dare to have any improper thoughts about her, I advise you to stop. Otherwise, you know my methods."
"What kind of person do you think I am?" Jiang Yi was speechless.
"I'm just reminding you. As your future wife, I must keep you in check, lest you think with your lower half," Dongfang Mei said playfully.
Jiang Yi's face darkened!
He hadn't even married her yet, and she was already so controlling.
If he truly married her, wouldn't he become her prisoner?
"Beep, beep..."
Jiang Yi's phone suddenly rang.
Taking out his phone, he saw it was Zhou Mao calling.
Zhou Mao asked Jiang Yi where he was staying, saying he had something to discuss.
Jiang Yi gave Zhou Mao the address.
An hour later, Zhou Mao arrived at the villa.
As soon as he entered the hall, he saw Dongfang Mei.
Zhou Mao froze on the spot, stunned by Dongfang Mei's beauty.
Dongfang Mei knew Zhou Mao was Jiang Yi's best friend, so she was very welcoming, without any airs of a young lady from the Dongfang family; she was approachable.
"You two chat, I'll go arrange Shen Lu's room."
Dongfang Mei smiled at Jiang Yi and Zhou Mao before heading upstairs.
After Dongfang Mei left, Zhou Mao finally came back to his senses.
"Jiang Yi, she's Miss Dongfang, isn't she! I never imagined she could be so beautiful!
I've seen many beautiful women, but compared to Miss Dongfang, they are merely gaudy and unsightly. Just Miss Dongfang's demeanor is beyond ordinary people."
Zhou Mao was full of admiration.
Then, Zhou Mao continued to sigh repeatedly.
Jiang Yi said nothing.
"Jiang Yi, how did you meet Miss Dongfang?" Zhou Mao asked curiously.
"Didn't you come to see me about something important?"
Jiang Yi changed the subject.
Everyone envied him, but no one knew how helpless he felt inside.
Zhou Mao snapped back to reality and smiled, "I almost forgot the main reason. I came to see you about the gathering!"
"What gathering?" Jiang Yi asked.
"It's a class reunion, of course!"
Zhou Mao said with a smile, "Many of our university classmates have come to Lidu City to develop their careers. It's been many years since we last met. I'm free these days, so let's get together and catch up."
"Alright!" Jiang Yi agreed.
He had nothing else to do today.
"Do you remember He Meimei?"
Zhou Mao said, "Before you met Ye Yanran, she was your goddess. You pursued her for a whole year, but you never succeeded. The love letters you wrote then were almost enough to fill your desk!"
Hearing Zhou Mao mention this, memories flooded back.
Back then, his parents and sister were still alive, and he was enjoying his happy college days. Everything was so wonderful.
Later, that car accident changed everything.
"I'm asking you, do you remember He Meimei? Your former goddess," Zhou Mao said.
"I remember!"
Jiang Yi smiled.
"But I didn't really like her. He Meimei was beautiful and a good student. I just wanted to chase her to show off. Back then, I thought having a girlfriend like her was a very impressive thing."
This remark made Zhou Mao burst into laughter.
"The banquet is set at a small restaurant, remember? We didn't have much living expenses back then, so we couldn't go to big hotels. We always ate at these small restaurants. The taste wasn't as good as at hotels, but everyone was very happy."
"That small restaurant today has the exact same taste as the one we used to go to. I've been there several times," Zhou Mao said.
Zhou Mao mentioning this made Jiang Yi want to laugh and cry; this guy was too much of an actor.
