Chapter 5: Chapter 5

Invitation

Yuan Shu pulled a chair and sat down. Then, she asked, “Tell me, why did you fight?”

Shi Bin subconsciously argued with her. “What makes you think I’ll tell you?”

Yuan Shu wasn’t angry. She only asked the police to help open the door of the confinement room, then she walked in.

“So what if you come in? I… Ah!” As Shi Bin was arguing, he didn’t expect Yuan Shu to raise her hand. With a crisp sound, the belt was thrown to the ground with a whoosh. Shi Bin was frightened by this and cried out in alarm.

“Can you tell me now?” Yuan Shu asked indifferently.

Shi Bin stared at Yuan Shu blankly.

“Are you crazy? Are you going to hit me?”

Before Yuan Shu could speak, there was a commotion outside the door.

The door was slammed open and a young man about Shi Bin’s age strode in. There was a large group of people behind him. Those who had just shouted for him to calm down went mute the moment the door was kicked open.

The young man closed the door and blocked the people behind him outside the door as he mocked, “How old are you? You can’t win, so you reported it to your parents? Are you even weaned yet? The person you called over isn’t even your brother. Oh, I forgot that your brother is missing, so we don’t even know if he’s dead or alive.”

Hearing the other party mention his brother, Shi Bin suddenly stood up and was about to rush forward when his wrist was suddenly grabbed.

“What? Do you still want to fight? Come, come, come! If you have the ability, hit me. Come…” Tan Zhao was still provoking him.

Pa! Another crisp sound was heard. The belt was whipped at Tan Zhao’s feet and barely brushed past his ankle, startling Tan Zhao so much that he jumped back like a frightened rabbit.

“Who plotted against me?”

The arrogance on Tan Zhao’s face disappeared completely. His face was a little pale as he looked at Yuan Shu and the belt in her hand.

“Who are you?” Tan Zhao felt that the woman in front of him looked familiar, but he couldn’t remember her name.

Looking at Tan Zhao’s pale face, Shi Bin couldn’t help but laugh. As expected, happiness was built on the pain of others.

“My name is Yuan Shu, and I’m Shi Bin’s sister-in-law.” Yuan Shu answered the question. What was strange was that Shi Bin didn’t retort this time.

Tan Zhao froze for a moment before he suddenly remembered Yuan Shu’s identity.

“You’re Yuan Shu? Shi Bin, your sister-in-law isn’t bad-looking, but she’s too irritable. She even uses a belt to scare people, like a tigress. No wonder no one likes her and she couldn’t get married, so she had to rely on scheming against your brother to marry him.”

Yuan Shu didn’t say anything and only looked at Tan Zhao coldly. Her eyebrows were raised and her thin lips were pursed. She looked dignified and intimidating.

Under her intimidating gaze, Tan Zhao slowly shut his mouth. He had a bad feeling.

“Let’s go first. Don’t cause trouble for the police officers.” With that, Yuan Shu turned around and walked out.

Shi Bin followed behind Yuan Shu and walked out. When he passed by Tan Zhao, he even glared at him fiercely. Tan Zhao wasn’t afraid and immediately glared back.

After Yuan Shu finished the bail procedures, the three of them walked out of the police station. However, Tan Zhao couldn’t help but say, “Is the Shi family going bankrupt? You actually need Madam Shi to personally handle such a small matter? Has the secretary been laid off?”

Yuan Shu turned around and side-eyed him as she said, “You don’t even have a family member who cares about you. Are you very proud about it?”

Tan Zhao’s mocking expression froze on his face. He wanted to retort, but after a long time, he couldn’t think of a powerful counterattack. He only snorted coldly.

Shi Bin, who had witnessed everything, suddenly smiled. Why didn’t he know that Yuan Shu, who had lost to him in arguments every time, had such a silver tongue? Had she received guidance from some expert?

Yuan Shu took two steps forward, but didn’t hear any footsteps. When she turned around and realized that the two of them were still standing on the spot, he beckoned at Shi Bin and gestured for him to follow quickly.

Shi Bin felt that Yuan Shu seemed like she was beckoning a dog, and it was really embarrassing in front of Tan Zhao. However, he had no choice. He couldn’t sit on the ground of the police station and say that he wasn’t leaving. Besides, his phone was broken when he fought with Tan Zhao. He couldn’t even get a taxi or call a driver to pick him up, so he could only swallow his anger and follow Yuan Shu.

Shi Bin walked to Yuan Shu’s side, but Yuan Shu didn’t turn around. Instead, she continued, “Third Young Master Tan, please sit in my humble abode.”
