To Lu Si’s surprise, his expression turned displeased, and he frowned, “Best friends?”
He looked at Mei Shu firmly, “Then what about you and me?”
Mei Shu hesitated for a moment and said, “We can also be good friends. 1 think we get along quite well, Master Si.”
“But it sounds like you haven’t considered me as a friend yet,” Lu Si put down his cup and lightly tapped the rim with his fingertips, “You call him Ah Yan?”
Mei Shu was about to nod, but suddenly noticed the meaningful look in Lu Si’s eyes. It dawned on her, “If Master Si doesn’t mind, 1 can call you All Si from now on. It’s just that you are All Yan’s uncle, and I’m afraid it might not be respectful enough to address you like that.”
“I am his uncle. What does it have to do with you?” Lu Si’s tone was clearly displeased.
Mei Shu quickly put on a smiling face and said, “Alright, since you agree, we are friends from now on, Ah Si. Thank you for bringing me here.”
Lu Si’s mood lifted, and his lips curved, “You’re welcome, but you owe me one now.”
“I’ll treat you to a meal next time,” Mei Shu readily agreed.
Soon, the food and wine were served.
In the surrounding private rooms, there were faint sounds of movement.
Mei Shu took a sip of red wine and listened carefully for a while. She knew they were planning to book a hotel room for more “activities” later. She sneered coldly.
Mei Mu was exactly courting death.
Lu Si saw her intention but had no intention of stopping her. Instead, he gently said, “You handle your business first, I can wait for you.”
“Thank you, Ah Si.”
As she addressed him this way, her soft voice felt like a sharp blade, piercing into his heart.
Lu Si couldn’t help but lift the corners of his lips, picked up his computer, and started doing his own work.
Mei Shu used the hacking skills she learned from Hacker F to infiltrate the surveillance system of the hotel before Mei Mu and the others arrived.
She was also worried that they might change their terminal midway, so the group was under her surveillance the entire way.
After confirming that Mei Mu and the others had indeed arrived at the hotel and entered the lobby within the range of surveillance, Mei Shu wore a satisfied smile.
Lu Si glanced at her, appreciating her ruthless approach towards her enemies. He poured her a glass of red wine and pushed it to her, asking, “What’s your plan now?”
Mei Shu squinted at the surveillance footage.
The man holding Mei Shu was clearly under the dual influence of alcohol and lust. Before they even settled on a room, as they entered the elevator, his hands had already started to behave improperly.
Just with what they were doing in the lobby, Mei Shu could already ruin Mei Mu’s reputation.
But that was far from enough.
She wanted to utterly destroy her.
That’s how Mei Mu treated her in the past.
Since her rebirth, Mei Shu had deeply understood one thing.
In this world, not everyone deserved to be treated with kindness. Some people, you either had to crush them, or they would devour you, your flesh, and your blood.
Mei Mu was such a person.
She would never stop.
So, in order to eliminate all future troubles and prevent Mei Mu from having any malicious intentions towards her younger brothers, Mei Shu needed enough leverage to choke her throat, or she would end up being the one who paid the price!
Although Mei Shu didn’t say anything, Lu Si still read her refusal from her eyes.
That’s right.
That’s exactly what he expected from Mei Shu.
That’s why he didn’t mind going out of his way to help her. If she were to say she wanted to bypass Mei Mu or act soft towards her now, Lu Si would never lend her a hand again.
Because that would only waste his time helping a woman who wasn’t worth it.
He wanted to see the resolute Mei Shu.
In the surveillance footage, Mei Mu was already being held in the man’s arms, and they were kissing while entering the elevator. The other men followed behind them.
After the group left, the receptionist at the front desk naturally displayed a look of disdain. Clearly, she was well aware of the unsavory activities that were about to take place in the room.
The hotel had strict surveillance, which conveniently allowed Mei Shu to monitor them every step of the way.
She had already gathered quite a bit of evidence, but it was still not enough. It wasn’t until she saw the group entering the same room that she turned off the surveillance.
She wouldn’t be able to record what was going to happen in the room next, but judging by the looks of those men, it definitely wouldn’t be something good!
Lu Si closed the computer and, seeing Mei Shu’s disappointed expression, shook his head in resignation. “There’s nothing interesting to see in that kind of situation. What we have gathered so far is already enough.”
Mei Shu nodded and raised her glass again. “All Si, today I could catch Mei Mu with such a big handle and find out that she’s planning to set me up with someone in the future, all thanks to your arrangements. I’ll drink to you for that.”
“Okay,” Lu Si smiled and clinked glasses with her.
The two of them had a pleasant conversation during the meal, and Mei Shu unexpectedly found herself getting along well with this man.
After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Lu Si accompanied Mei Shu back to her home and advised her to be especially careful in the coming days.
If Mei Mu could sell her body in exchange for a chance to frame Mei Shu, then what she wanted to do to Mei Shu could be imagined..
