Seeing Shen Tinglu walking back to his own room, Ming Xi breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly closed the door of the room, and locked it at the same time.

She packed her things and lay on the bed exhausted.

Not physically tired, but heart tired.

She came in a hurry in the afternoon, and she didn't have time to think about whether her sudden decision was appropriate or not.

Now that she came here, her senses slowly returned, and she realized what a crazy decision she made today.

She actually cared about him.

It was because she was afraid that something would happen to him here that she followed.

What the hell is wrong with her?
Don't you be afraid, moths to the flame again?

Ming Xi closed his eyes tiredly, and some pictures slowly emerged in his mind.

A few years ago, when the old man of the Shen family was in danger, she once told him a secret.

It was also because of her actions at that time that Mr. Xie made an astonishing decision.

She knew that until now, everyone in the Shen family hated her.

Even Shen Tinglu would definitely blame her to some extent.

Because she hurt the interests of so many members of the Shen family.

It is precisely because of this that she firmly believed that Shen Tinglu wanted her to die because she wanted revenge for her actions...

Thinking of this, Ming Xi's lips curled into a self-deprecating smile.

She didn't expect that her original decision was clearly to put herself in Shen Tinglu's shoes, but in the end it brought herself such a big disaster.

and many more!

Some thoughts flashed in her mind, Ming Xi sat up on the bed suddenly.

She took out her cell phone and called the detective again.

"Miss Ming, what's your order?"

"I hope you can help me investigate other members of the Shen family." Ming Xi tried hard to calm herself down.

The detective pondered: "You mean, Young Master Shen was not the only one who wanted to kill you back then?"

"Maybe." Ming Xi squeezed the space between her brows, "I don't have a clue now, but I suddenly feel that I can't keep digging into a dead end. Maybe there are other possibilities for what happened back then."

"You're right. Since that's the case, I'll spend more time investigating other members of the Shen family to see if I can find other clues."

After finishing the call, Ming Xi's breathing became short of breath.

That's right!

She has affected the interests of so many people in the Shen family, Shen Tinglu was not the only one who wanted her dead back then.

Even if at that time she saw that the person who pushed her down the mountain was Xu Wen...

Maybe, she really overlooked something back then.

Ming Xi frowned in thought, but countless thoughts exploded in her brain, and she couldn't catch them one by one, so she could only sigh deeply in the end.

In any case, wait until the detective's investigation results come out.

She didn't sleep well that night, but Shen Tinglu also held an important meeting the next morning, so she didn't dare to neglect.

Ming Xi finished washing, changed her clothes and walked out of the room.

Shen Tinglu didn't know when he was already sitting on the sofa in the living room, and when he heard her opening the door, he raised his eyelids and looked at her, "Breakfast is ready, come and eat."

Ming Xi walked to the dining table, looking at the dazzling array of breakfasts on the dining table, she looked suspiciously at Shen Tinglu and asked, "How long have you been preparing these breakfasts?"

"It was delivered 10 minutes ago." Shen Tinglu walked to her side and sat down, "If you dislike the fact that the breakfast is cold, I'll ask them to deliver a new one right now."

"No need." Ming Xi hurriedly stopped him, looking at him with a complicated expression, "Since it was delivered 10 minutes ago, why didn't you eat it?"

She could tell that the breakfast on the table had obviously not been touched.

Shen Tinglu raised his eyebrows, and said as a matter of course: "Because, I am waiting for you, and I want to have breakfast with you."

His casual words made Ming Xi's eyes clouded with mist.

"What's wrong with you?" Shen Tinglu scratched his head, looking anxious.

Did he say something wrong just now?
But he just wanted to have breakfast with her, this request... shouldn't be too much, right?
"I'm fine." Ming Xi pinched her palm with her nails to calm herself down, "We have a meeting later, let's hurry up and eat."

"En." Shen Tinglu looked at her worriedly.

Ming Xi had already sat down at the dining table as if nothing had happened.

Knowing that she has a very strong temper, Shen Tinglu couldn't ask any more questions, so he had to observe her expression secretly while eating breakfast.

Fortunately, Xu Wen quickly knocked on the door and walked in, bringing some documents to Shen Tinglu's side.

While Shen Tinglu was talking with Xu Wen, Mingxi tried hard to control her emotions.

However, looking at the breakfast in front of her and thinking about what Shen Tinglu said just now, she still had a strange feeling in her heart.

Shen Tinglu, you'd better...don't lie to me.

After breakfast, a group of people came to the meeting.

Shen Tinglu arranged a task for her, and Ming Xi cheered up.

Just after the meeting, she received a text message on her cell phone.

She clicked on it, and it was sent from an unfamiliar number.

The content of the text message is very short: [The game has started. 】

game?

what game?
Ming Xi stared at this inexplicable text message and fell into deep thought.

"Secretary Ming, we should go." Xu Wen passed by her and reminded her.

Ming Xi came back to her senses, hastily put away her phone, and followed behind him.

But Shen Tinglu clearly saw her uneasy look just now.

Shen Tinglu lowered his eyes and walked out thoughtfully.

A group of people came to the office building of a large group in country A. Shen Tinglu came this time for a large project cooperation.

After all, the Shen Group's vitality has been severely injured during this period, and it is indeed time to replenish blood.

Shen Tinglu didn't hesitate to take her there to discuss with the other party.

During this period, Mingxi's mind wandered from time to time, her brain was always thinking about the text message just now.

Two hours later, Shen Tinglu and the other party had almost reached a conclusion, but there were still some situations that needed to be reconsidered.

Shen Tinglu took the group back to the hotel and had another meeting, planning to discuss cooperation with another group tomorrow.

After a whole day's work, everyone was exhausted.

"Everyone has worked hard. As long as these cooperations are won, everyone will be rewarded accordingly." Xu Wen rarely comforted everyone.

When the others heard this, they cheered up again.

Everyone went back to their suites to rest one after another. Ming Xi walked into her room and called the strange number.

The other party didn't answer for a long time, she put away the phone helplessly, the uneasy feeling in her heart still hasn't dissipated for a long time.

"Knock knock knock!"

The door was knocked.

Ming Xi turned around, only to realize that she hadn't had time to close the door tightly because she was in a hurry to make a phone call just now.

Shen Tinglu walked in, and she hid her phone behind her back with a guilty conscience.

The man stood by the door and didn't rush in any more. He looked at her with deep eyes, "Since this morning, you've been restless. Did you encounter some trouble?"

"No." Ming Xi stopped talking, feeling startled.

She originally thought that Shen Tinglu was so busy that she must not have time to take care of her.

Unexpectedly, none of her actions could escape his eyes.

"I don't want to get involved in your personal affairs." Shen Tinglu narrowed his long and narrow eyes slightly, "However, I can't just watch you suffer other dangers."

Ming Xi pursed her lips, but insisted: "You think too much, I just haven't been in a foreign country for a long time, so I haven't gotten used to it."

Shen Tinglu narrowed his eyes slightly, "Then how did you come here these years? You have been abroad for the past few years, and you must have had a hard time, right?"

Over the past few years, he has never given up looking for her in the past, but he has never been able to find her.

After thinking about it, he also felt that there was only one possibility.

That means Ming Xi fled abroad.

After all, there are so many worlds in this world. Although he can investigate every corner of the country, he cannot find out the situation in other countries.

Ming Xi's eyes began to avoid, and her voice became unnatural: "I don't know what you're talking about."

"Actually, I just think you have worked very hard." Shen Tinglu forced a smile on his lips, pinched his brows and said tiredly, "This morning your fingerprint can unlock the fingerprint lock at the door of my house. You said, what does this mean? what?"

Ming Xi clenched her lips and stared at him vigilantly.

The man's expression was obviously a little tired, and he didn't seem to be deliberately making things difficult for her.

She clenched her fists and did not answer for a long time.

Although she couldn't change her heart, she couldn't stop herself from running here to care about him.

But before the truth of the conspiracy was exposed a few years ago, she could not completely believe Shen Tinglu's words.

So now, she can't expose herself easily.

"It's getting late, go to bed early." Shen Tinglu opened his eyes again, and his deep narrow pupils regained their clarity.

He turned to leave.

Ming Xi looked surprised.

Is this gone?

Under normal circumstances, shouldn't Shen Tinglu take this opportunity to question her?

It wasn't until the man walked away that Ming Xi closed the door.

She threw the phone on the bed casually, went into the small bathroom in the room, and started to take a shower.

But the cold water dripping on her body still couldn't clear up the irritability in her heart for a long time.

Could the person who texted her be... Si Muchao? !

As soon as this thought came out, Ming Xi stopped taking a bath immediately.

That man was so cruel and ruthless, it was only natural that he would do such a thing.

The more she thought about it, the more panicked Ming Xi felt.

If it was really Si Muchao, what would he do?
Thinking of that man's vicious methods, Ming Xi was filled with deep fear.

After a while, Ming Xi came back to her senses.

She let herself take a quick shower, and before she could dry her hair, she opened the door and walked out.

Shen Tinglu was sitting on the sofa looking at his mobile phone, when he heard the sound and turned around, he saw Ming Xi walking out wrapped in a bathrobe.

Although Ming Xi had already wrapped her body tightly in a bathrobe, Shen Tinglu could still imagine her graceful figure through the cloth.

His Adam's apple tightened, and the phone in his palm couldn't help but slipped to the ground.
