Chapter 262: The Fishing Plan

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The two of them parted ways, not on good terms.

Mei Shu didn’t dwell on the matter too much.

She had just arrived home when she received a call from Lu Ming.

Lu Ming’s voice on the phone sounded much older, even weary.

“I asked my mother, and she has always suspected that Sheng Quan killed my father. I had no idea all these years, and I was trying to please him like a fool. The thought of it makes me want to tear Sheng Quan into pieces!”

Mei Shu wasn’t surprised that Lin Wei would deceive Lu Ming, just like she did. At this point, it was the only way to ensure that her son would be firmly on her side, helping her steal the Sheng family’s assets.

“Then we can join forces to investigate. I have my own reasons to resent the Shen family,” Mei Shu said sincerely. “Do you have any plans from your mother’s side?”

“She wants me to go after Sheng Nian…” Lu Ming said in great pain. “She says that only by winning Sheng Nian’s heart can I rightfully inherit all of the Shen family’s assets, but I don’t actually want to continue hurting Sheng Nian.”

He wanted to continue being with Sheng Nian as they used to be, at least privately, they could still be a loving couple.

He didn’t want to resort to the methods his mother suggested, forcing her to submit.

But when he thought of Sheng Nian as the daughter of his father’s murderer, he felt guilty for being lenient.

Caught in this dilemma, he called Mei Shu to seek her opinion.

Mei Shu didn’t miss the deliberately suppressed breath on the other end of the phone.

She thought that the most useful skill the system had given her was enhanced hearing.

Like now, if she hadn’t heard that breath, she might have advised Lu Ming not to harm Sheng Nian.

If she had done that, Lu Ming might not have grown suspicious, but Lin Wei, who was probably eavesdropping, could have sensed her protecting Sheng Nian.

Considering that Lin Wei was likely monitoring them, Mei Shu lowered her voice and agreed, “I think your mother is right. Besides, it’s common for children to settle their parents’ debts. You don’t owe her anything; you just want to reclaim what’s rightfully yours. You shouldn’t feel guilty at all.”

On the other end of the phone, Lin Wei, upon hearing her say this, showed a hint of agreement in her eyes.

She nodded at Lu Ming, indicating that he could hang up the phone.

Lu Ming reluctantly agreed, “Alright, since both of you think so, I guess I’ll have to do it this way. But, Miss Mei, I can’t be the only one doing this. If we’re going to cooperate, you’ll have to take some action, right?”

“Of course,” Mei Shu replied with a smile. “I know that Sheng Nian probably won’t want to meet you alone right now, so I’ll invite her out in my name. That should show my sincerity, right?”

Lu Ming’s eyes lit up when he heard this. “That would be great! I hope we can cooperate well!”

“Cooperate well,” Mei Shu said with a cold smile before hanging up the phone.

Lu Ming had an idealistic view of this plan, hoping that Mei Shu would take the fall for him. If he succeeded in his plan, Mei Shu would become the person the Sheng family hated the most.

However, Mei Shu wasn’t worried about Lu Ming’s ability to carry out such a plan.

After briefly discussing it with Lu Ming and Lin Wei, Mei Shu relayed the entire plan to Sheng Nian.

Sheng Nian was furious when she heard it, cursing Lin Wei and Lu Ming’s despicable actions.

Mei Shu listened quietly on the phone, able to focus on her studies despite the commotion.

After Sheng Nian finished venting, Mei Shu spoke up, “I have a plan that can guarantee your safety.”

“Tell me,” Sheng Nian said, placing her trust in Mei Shu.

However, this was a serious matter, and Mei Shu was concerned about how she would escape if things went wrong.

After hearing Mei Shu’s detailed and well-thought-out plan, Sheng Nian’s concerns vanished. She only felt reluctant to use her father for this purpose.

“Remember, we’re doing this to uncover the truth for your deceased mother,” Mei Shu reminded her, worried that Sheng Nian might waver.

Sheng Nian understood Mei Shu’s intention and nodded, saying, “Alright, don’t worry. Since I’ve agreed to cooperate in finding out the truth, I won’t back down halfway. This is also to give my mother an answer.”

“That’s good,” Mei Shu said, and they agreed to meet the next evening.

After discussing everything, Mei Shu realized that there was another person in her room, whom she hadn’t noticed earlier.

Her full attention had been on planning, and she had neglected to check her surroundings.

This matter with Lu Ming was of great importance, and if Mei Yun had overheard it, he would likely do everything he could to thwart their plan.

Mei Shu turned her head nervously, only to see Mei Jing. This made her heave a sigh of relief..
