Chapter 290 The man behind the scenes

Shen Zhuowen raised his eyes with a calm expression, "The legs grow on you."

Whether she goes back or not has nothing to do with him.

Jiang Zhimiao , "... "

He is still the same as before.

Her long eyelashes were slightly lowered, and she was preparing her words, thinking about how to speak.

The sound of the window being smashed by stones immediately attracted Jiang Zhimiao's attention.

Looking sideways——

There were several dark figures standing in front of the house opposite, and they were hitting the glass with stones.

The glass shattered and scattered all over the floor.

Jiang Zhimiao's pupils shrank, and he subconsciously stood up and walked to the window.

This time, she looked more carefully.

It was her home that was damaged.

Shen Zhuo's gentle voice came from behind , " It seems you can't go back tonight."

Jiang Zhimiao blurted out , " Are you okay?"

Shen Zhuowen's brows turned cold for a moment, and his thin lips pursed tightly. Although he was still ill, his aura instantly exuded, "It is necessary for me to do this. You think too highly of yourself."

The fragility at the door yesterday seemed like a bubble.

Jiang Zhimiao knew that what she said in a hurry was a bit excessive. She pursed her lips. She took a deep look at Shen Zhuowen and said , " I'll go out and make a phone call."

Half an hour later, the police car arrived.

Jiang Zhimiao, accompanied by the police, returned to the house.

There was no one in the house.

Every window was broken and no one could live in it.

The police advised Jiang Zhimiao to spend the next two days in the hotel and come back after the glass was replaced.

At the same time, the female police officer who went to investigate the glass smashing also came back. She told Jiang Zhimiao that these people were habitual offenders who had been in prison for dozens of crimes including theft and had just been released. Even if they were arrested, it would be useless and they would most likely retaliate against her again.

Jiang Zhimiao was silent.

Seeing this, the female police officer stepped forward and comforted him , " Do you need to pack some things? I can wait for you here."

Jiang Zhimiao thought about it, nodded and said , " Then I'll trouble you."

The female police officer smiled and patted Jiang Zhimiao on the back. "Nothing. Do you need me to accompany you upstairs?"

"No, I can do it alone." Jiang Zhimiao hesitated for a moment and said , " I'm just a little scared. If I call you upstairs, can you answer me?"

Female officer , " Of course."

Jiang Zhimiao went upstairs, packed a small suitcase, and carried it downstairs.

The female police officer was waiting for her at the door.

Seeing her coming, the female police officer walked forward, pointed at the blond and blue-eyed man not far away, and asked , " Is this your boyfriend?"

Jiang Zhimiao shook his head, "No."

Adolf took the opportunity to step forward and called her name breathlessly, "Jiang, you're okay, that's great ... I was so worried about you."

Jiang Zhimiao , " I'm fine, you can go back first."

"I'll take you there," Adolf said. " I've already told you that you should have a man by your side. It's a good thing you're not at home today, otherwise what would happen if something unexpected happened?"

Jiang Zhimiao raised his eyes, "How do you know I'm not at home today?"

" ... " Adolf's face froze for a moment.

Just as he was about to speak, Jiang Zhimiao turned to look at the policewoman and said calmly , " My friend lives nearby. Can you take me there? It's only two steps away. Is that okay?"

The policewoman also noticed the subtle atmosphere between Adolf and Jiang Zhimiao and nodded slightly , " Okay."

The policewoman accompanied Jiang Zhimiao across a road.

An Asian man with a sharp and steady appearance stood at the door. The light behind him was swaying, lengthening his shadow, giving people an unparalleled sense of security.

Jiang Zhimiao turned to look at Adolf and said to the policewoman , " Thank you for your help."

The policewoman looked thoughtfully at the two men standing at the door. "No trouble, you were frightened today, take a good rest."

Jiang Zhimiao curled his eyebrows as a response.

The policewoman left, and Jiang Zhimiao stood at the door. His voice was gentle but unyielding , " Adolf, I'm sorry to bother you today, but that's all. I need to rest now."

Adolf's face changed and he said , " Jiang, it's not convenient for a woman like you to live in his house."

"There are some things I don't want to say too clearly." Jiang Zhimiao's voice softened , " Before the news spread, did you know that I wasn't at home when the accident happened?"

Usually the people who know this are either behind the scenes or at the scene.

And there was no Adolf in the scene.

That means he is the driving force behind it.

There is no need to explain the undercurrents among adults too clearly. Just click on it and you will understand.

Of course, if Adolf insists on talking, Jiang Zhimiao doesn't mind breaking up with him, but it's too late now, and she doesn't want to discuss these things in front of Shen Zhuowen anymore.

Turning around, Jiang Zhimiao walked back to Shen Zhuowen.

She raised her head and looked at Shen Zhuowen, "Sorry, I'll go out to find a hotel later."

Jiang Zhimiao's voice was lowered so that only the two of them could hear it.

Shen Zhuowen , " Isn't it a little late for you to say it now?"

Jiang Zhimiao curled her lips and straightened Shen Zhuowen's collar with her green-white fingertips, "It's not too late, it's just right. Please, Mr. Shen -"

Her tone was slightly elongated, with a hint of coquettishness.

Shen Zhuowen had just experienced Jiang Zhimiao's ability to turn against him, and now he could truly see it.

In just three years, her courage has not only grown.

He has become more and more proficient at being a ruthless liar.

As if worried that Shen Zhuowen would try to expose her, Jiang Zhimiao raised his eyes and landed on the person standing on the side of the road, "You can rest assured."

Adolf's face was ugly, but he probably didn't want to be outdone by Shen Zhuowen, so he forced himself to laugh before leaving.

His back disappeared at the end of the street.

Jiang Zhimiao glanced at it, let go of Shen Zhuowen's hand for a moment, and apologized in a low voice , " I'm sorry, I took advantage of you."

Shen Zhuowen looked at her twice, "Is an apology enough?"

Jiang Zhimiao , " What do you want?"

Shen Zhuowen said , " I remember that Christmas in Country M lasts for half a month."

"You miss me ... "

Shen Zhuowen interrupted , " Before that, you can stay here. It's safer than a hotel. At least you won't be entangled by your suitors."

Jiang Zhimiao's round eyes suddenly widened, and his lips pursed tightly, as if he was hesitating.

Shen Zhuowen turned around and entered the house.

Jiang Zhimiao was left alone standing in the small courtyard and hesitating.

More than ten minutes later, Jiang Zhimiao went up to the second floor carrying a bowl of reheated porridge.

There was a subtle sound flowing in Shen Zhuowen's room, like a popular BGM from a short video software.

Jiang Zhimiao listened carefully.

The sounds in the room disappeared.

Jiang Zhimiao pushed the door open and entered. Shen Zhuowen was sitting on the bedside, playing with his mobile phone in the palm of his hand. The sound just now must have come from it.

Her fingers clenched against the edge of the porcelain bowl, and she put the porridge on the bedside and hesitated for a moment.

"Do you need my help?"

Shen Zhuowen directly exposed her thoughts, "Are you testing whether I am blind?"

Jiang Zhimiao admitted that he could, his eyebrows were crescent, and his tone was soft , " I'm afraid of burning you. If you need me, I'll feed you."
