Shen Wanci answered the phone pretty quickly, which slightly soothed Bo Jingzhou's anger. "I made a reservation for dinner, let's eat together tonight. Where are you? I'll pick you up."

If Chen Xu heard this, he would definitely roll his eyes.

Just now, who was so tough and said they wouldn't coax? He thought the chairman of his family had finally stood up straight, but...

Listen to that pitiful tone, there's not even a trace of the aura he had when you spoke to him before.

"Okay," Shen Wanci's emotions surged visibly. "Just send me the restaurant address, and I'll take a taxi there myself."

With a relaxed expression, Bo Jingzhou’s tense emotions finally eased, a hint of a smile playing at his lips.

He knew that between him and the older man, Shen Wanci still leaned towards him. It was just that he lacked dating experience and had a negative emotional intelligence, which allowed the battle-hardened older man to take advantage of him.

Shen Wanci had no idea about the turmoil in his heart at this moment. She was now sitting on a chair outside the detention center, drawing.

A woman's face leaps onto the paper with just a few strokes.

"I want to see Shen Zhenan, but he hasn't been sentenced yet. Besides his lawyer, no one else can see him."

Bo Jingzhou: “??”

His identity as an AI tool has been confirmed.

Shen Wanci's joy at agreeing to have dinner with him lasted for less than half a minute before being doused by a bucket of ice water, "So you agreed to have dinner with me just so I could help you?"

She didn't expect that Bo Jingzhou would think this way, "No, I'll figure out how to deal with seeing Shen Zhengan myself..."

“I’ll help you,” Bo Jingzhou sensed something was off about her tone, fearing the next sentence would be ‘You were fired,’ “Wanwan, I’ve arranged for someone to take you to see Shen Zhenan, but as you said, nothing can be done without your permission. Can you loosen up a bit? Change it to one week… no, one month…”

His cautious attitude made Shen Wanci both amused and annoyed, with a hint of pity. But she quickly suppressed that feeling.

Otherwise, she's afraid she won't be able to hold the line and will just keep retreating.

"A girlfriend asking her boyfriend for help, and there are also additional conditions?"

"No," Bo Jingzhou replied quickly, "I've sent someone to escort you in."

Three minutes after hanging up the phone, a man in a suit came out of the detention center and walked straight to Shen Wanci: "Mrs. Bo, please come with me."

Compared to last time, Shen Zhen'an looked more haggard. Seeing Shen Wanci, he excitedly threw his whole upper body onto the table: "Wanci, you finally came to see your father."

The policeman beside him tugged at his collar, pulling him back into the chair. "Behave yourself," he said.

Shen Wanci looked at him coldly: "Mr. Shen, before you speak, think carefully about who your father is. Just now, Shen Xuan even pulled my hair and wanted to do a DNA test. He even hired a lawyer, just waiting for the results to come out and sue me, making me pay back all the years I've been eating off of you. Isn't this your idea?"

Shen Zhenan was stunned for a moment, then squeezed out two tears and said sincerely, "Dad, how could I really sue you? Although you're not my biological daughter, I've raised you for so many years and long ago treated you as my own. You haven't visited me in ages, and I had something important to discuss with you. I was forced into this, so I came up with this idea."

He straightened his face, “Get Dad out first. I’ll have Xiao Xuan come apologize to you right away. How could you do this to your elder sister?”

Shen Wanci interrupted him. If she listened any longer, she was afraid she would vomit: "Was my mother's accident caused by her repairing that painting?"

Shen Zhen'an’s face paled uncontrollably. “What painting? I don’t know, she studies a lot of things, and she doesn’t let me into her studio, saying that I would disturb her work.”

Shen Wanci stared at him, "Don't you want to leave here?"

"...."

“I can get you out, and I can help you pay off your debts, but these days, no one is a good person,” her voice was low, heavy with a weight that settled in his heart: “Why should I protect you? You have to make me feel like you’re worth it for me to go to bat for you.”

Shen Zhen'an's lips moved slightly: "I am your father."

"You're not my biological child. How have you treated me after marriage? You know it yourself. Do you think I can let go of this?"

Shen Zhenan, who was always afraid of death, surprisingly became quite stern this time: "Wanci, your mother's death was an accident."

Shen Wanci placed a sheet of paper on the table: "Look, are these handwriting familiar to you?"

Shen Zhenan, as if following her words, instinctively lowered his eyes to glance at her. Just that one look was like a bolt from the blue.

"This is Mother's diary. It says you forced her to take over that painting, Shen Zinan. What secret does that painting hold?"

Shen Anqiao's diary entries were vague and short. This one, she had someone forge, adding in the name Shen Zhen'an.

"You don't have to lie to me, your mom doesn't write a diary."

"This is what I found in the hillside villa."

Shen Zhenan's expression instantly turned fierce, his teeth clenched. That scoundrel, he still couldn't forget that wild man!

It's said that the man was a homeless person she picked up years ago. They got together and had a child, but her father strongly disapproved. She was forced to break up with him, but wanted to keep the child, so she asked him to be the father figure.

“I saw the driver who caused the accident that year. His son is seriously ill and needs to go abroad for treatment. I told him, as long as he tells me the truth about what happened that year, I will help send his son abroad for medical treatment. But I’m not a saint, so you and him, I’ll only help one person. It depends on which of you talks more.”

Shen Zhen'an was agitated: "Your mother died in an accident, what do you want me to say. You got me out of this mess, and I can help you remarry Bo Jingzhou. With your current situation, you have no chance of marrying into the Bo family. You helped me make a comeback, the Shen family will regain its strength, and then it will be much easier for you to marry him."

Shen Wanci was too lazy to argue with him. This kind of person wouldn't cry until they saw the coffin, so she directly got up and walked out.

"Late porcelain…" Seeing that the person had already reached the door and hadn't even turned back, Shen Zhenan panicked and shouted after her: "I said..."
