Chapter 148 The newspaper reported the murder

Shen Jiaxing helplessly tapped her a few times with his hands, looking like he couldn't do anything about her!

Shen Jialing covered her mouth with her hands and smiled secretly.

Ai Shutong looked at her sincerely and said, "You are so beautiful, with such pretty eyes. Lingling, ask your brother to take you to Nishang to buy you some clothes!"

"We have high-end custom made clothes in Nishang, and the clothes we make will definitely suit you very well. When the time comes, I will put some makeup on you, and the little beauty will immediately become a big beauty."

Shen Jialing opened her big eyes, which were clearly black and white, and looked at Ai Shutong with a twinkling look, "Sister, do you work at Nishang?"

Ai Shutong nodded vigorously, "Yes!"

Shen Jialing immediately said with envy, "That's great."

Then he turned to Shen Jiaxing and said, "Brother, can you spare some time to take me to my sister's store?"

Shen Jiaxing picked up another piece of fresh fish for her and said, "Eat it quickly! I'll take you clothes shopping tomorrow."

"Buy a few more pieces. We won't be living in the Shen Mansion anymore. We'll live in the western-style building next to your sister Ai."

This news made Shen Jialing feel uneasy, "Will my parents agree?"

Shen Jiaxing: "You are already fifteen years old, don't mention mom and dad. I was already independent when I was your age."

Shen Jialing put down her chopsticks and looked at Shen Jiaxing nervously: "What if our parents catch us and beat us?"

Shen Jiaxing asked nonchalantly, "Will they beat us to death?"

After thinking carefully, Shen Jialing replied hesitantly, "That shouldn't be the case, right? We are the only two children left to our parents. If they kill us, they will have no descendants."

Shen Jiaxing glared at her unhappily, "Then what are you still worried about?! Eat well."

"You usually eat too little, so you won't grow tall. In a few years, when your bones close, you will stop growing, and it will be too late to replenish your nutrition by then."

Although Shen Jialing didn't understand what suture closure meant, she had always admired her eldest brother since she was a child. She knew that everything her eldest brother said was right, and it was always right to listen to him.

Based on this principle, she temporarily put aside her worries, picked up her chopsticks and continued eating.

The meal lasted until two in the afternoon.

The two of them came out of Hongbo Building and went straight to the registration office, where they rewrote a white deed. After Ai Shutong paid three hundred yuan, the staff of the registration office stamped the white deed, turning it into a new house deed.

After Ai Shutong came out, she stretched out her arms as if nothing had happened. Shen Jialing's big eyes stared at her movements blankly, as if she was trapped in them and couldn't get out.

After Shen Jiaxing noticed it, he quickly touched her and whispered in her ear, "Don't look at me like that. It's very rude."

Shen Jialing quickly retracted her gaze and whispered to Shen Jiaxing, "Sister Ai, aren't you afraid of being laughed at by others?"

Shen Jiaxing felt that his sister was like a canary in a cage, timid and easily alarmed.

If this continues, they will never be able to adapt to society and will easily die.

After thinking for a few seconds, he came to Ai Shutong and said, "Shutong, do you think you can let Lingling work at Nishang for a few days?"

Ai Shutong looked at him in surprise, "How old is she?"

"No! I feel guilty for hiring such a small staff!"

Shen Jiaxing rolled his eyes, imitating her usual behavior. "She's old enough to be a mother! Many children younger than her can work, why do you feel guilty about her working for you?"

"I'm sure it's not her problem, it's your problem!"

Ai Shutong: "I, I..."

Can she say that the state does not allow the employment of minors?

It seems that the current government does not have this regulation...

Seeing Ai Shutong remained silent, Shen Jiaxing began to add to the discussion, "Don't you have to redecorate the newly bought house before you can live in it?"

Ai Shutong didn't expect him to change the subject so quickly, "Ah? Ah! You have to pretend."

Shen Jiaxing turned to look at her, "Lingling, go work at Nishang, I'll take care of the decoration!"

Ai Shutong wanted to agree just now, but she didn't expect that being a few seconds late would actually have this benefit, "Deal!"

It seems that what Lin Manru usually says, "Let time ferment for a while," makes sense!

Because the newly bought western-style house still needed to be renovated, Ai Shutong moved back to Lilac Garden that day.

The next day, Ai Shutong got up very early. Without waiting for Ina to get up, Andrei and Vasily accompanied her out.

Vasily is the White Russian bodyguard that Ina has found for her, and Andrei is responsible for taking care of him.

It was just eight o'clock when Ai Shutong entered the Nishang clothing store.

She checked around first and found that only Hu Ying, Xu Ma and Wan Zhen were there.

Ai Shutong gave them a thumbs up in her heart. What boss wouldn’t like hardworking people?

"Hu Ying, bring the store's recent sales figures to my office."

Hu Ying agreed, put the clothes she had just ironed on the hanger, and turned to the counter.

"Deng deng deng"

Ai Shutong took her handbag and went up to the office on the second floor.

When she sat down on the chair, she found a large envelope on the table. She picked it up and saw that it was the report of Platoon Leader Wang on the investigation of Lin Ma.

Ai Shutong opened the envelope and read it quickly.

Before she finished reading, Hu Ying knocked on the door and came in. Ai Shutong said without even looking up, "Just put the data on the table."

After Hu Ying agreed, she asked, "Does the manager have any other instructions?"

Ai Shutong waved her hand, "That's all, go get busy!"

Hu Ying: "Okay, call me anytime if you need anything!"

After saying that, he tiptoed out of the office.

Ai Shutong's attention was still on the information in her hand.

After some investigation, Platoon Leader Wang determined that the person with half of her body exposed in the photo was Lin's mother.

But unfortunately, Lin's mother was diagnosed with an incurable disease and wanted to return to her hometown before she died, so she left Shanghai some time ago.

Ai Shutong couldn't help but sigh at the fate. After they parted a few years ago, she didn't expect that it would be so difficult for them to meet again.

Ai Shutong thought about this matter all day.

Maybe she dreamed about what she thought about during the day, and she had a nightmare at night.

I dreamed that Lin's mother had really died, and she told me in the dream that she missed her very much and wanted to take her away with her.

Ai Shutong was suddenly frightened awake.

She turned on the light and saw that it was past one in the morning. She poured herself a glass of water and drank while thinking.

After dawn, she had a headache because she didn't sleep well, so she asked the servant to make a pot of coffee.

She sat in the restaurant, drinking coffee and reading a newspaper.

Suddenly, his hand shook and the coffee spilled over the edge of the cup and onto the newspaper.

The servant asked nervously, "Miss, how are you? Are you burned?"

Ai Shutong put down the coffee cup and said, "It's okay. You clean up and I'll go back to my room to change clothes."

She returned to the room calmly and immediately collapsed on the bed.

The newspaper just reported that a vicious murder was discovered in a village near the coast of Shanghai.

Three male corpses and one female corpse were found in a farmyard.

Ai Shutong knew that the bodies of Li Rong and others had been found, and the police might soon find Li Zhong and ask him to claim the bodies.

She lay in bed and thought about it. The more she thought about it, the more scared she became. Finally, she decided to go back to Beijing.
