Chapter 60 A little understanding

was like a basin of ice water being poured down on his head. Shen Boyan felt a chill in his heart for a moment.

I understand so well. Shen Boyan thought, after testing it, he found out.

The energy he had just mustered up was suddenly extinguished. Shen Boyan didn't understand and was unwilling to give in. The breath suddenly became blocked in his throat, unable to come up or go down.

He wanted to, but he was afraid of making things worse because of him.

"Why?" He opened his eyes and looked at Meng Xinqiao, who was staring at the road in front of him.

"...It's very dangerous." Meng Xinqiao said, "Shen Boyan, I know you want to find out what happened. There are many things I can't say, but they are very dangerous."

"Why, are you worried about me?" Shen Boyan licked his lips, and his heart beat anxiously, "As a friend, are you just worried as a friend?"

"Well, I'm worried about you."

The red light turned green, and Meng Xinqiao finally gave Shen Boyan a firm After answering, he put the car into gear and started the car.

Shen Boyan didn't want to ask any more questions and closed his mouth.

For the first time, they fell into such a long, suffocating silence. Shen Boyan leaned back on his chair and looked at the dimming car lights on the road.

Meng Xinqiao sent Shen Boyan to the gate of the community. His car was not registered and he couldn't get through the gate.

"I'm leaving." Meng Xinqiao said goodbye to him.

"Yes." Shen Boyan responded, "Bye."

They looked at each other at the door. Shen Boyan saw that Meng Xinqiao was a little entangled, as if he was almost ready to speak out.

But in the end, he said nothing.

Shen Boyan closed the car door and walked towards the unit building.

After two minutes, he looked back. The stone pillar at the door blocked the direction of Meng Xinqiao's parking and was no longer visible. never mind?

Shen Boyan turned around and left without looking back. ...

When he got home, Cheng Wenjun hadn't arrived yet. I thought he was going to send him back tonight just for the sake of strategy.

The room was so quiet that you could even hear the sound of water dripping. Shen Boyan kicked off his shoes and went to take a shower. After turning on the shower, the splashing sound dispersed some of the deathly silence in the room.

Shen Boyan felt that his heart was beating at an abnormal frequency. He would be thrown up and down again, and then he would land again.

He rarely had such physiological feelings. He only felt congested and couldn't exert any energy.

Logically speaking, Meng Xinqiao's approach is understandable.

As Shen Boyan thought about it, he couldn't help but draw conclusions.

It's even done for his own good - that's generally speaking.

But even taking a thousand or ten thousand steps back was hard for Shen Boyan to accept.

He couldn't tell why. It was always difficult for him to describe his feelings clearly. There was just a feeling of being abandoned that lingered in his heart.

This inexplicable feeling still didn't dissipate when he returned to the room after taking a shower. Shen Boyan sat down on the bed and stared blankly at the white tiles on the ground.

He had no idea what had happened to Cheng Wenjun.

Shen Boyan tried to think rationally.

He didn't understand what Meng Xinqiao was encountering now.

Therefore, it makes sense for Meng Xinqiao not to want him to get involved or to pry into things.

He is always an outsider.

The most important thing for outsiders to do is to protect themselves wisely and stand aside.

The truth is of course this.

Of course Shen Boyan was not willing to give in. He wanted to go against Meng Xinqiao's will, but Meng Xinqiao saw through all his thoughts as soon as he opened his mouth.

His courage was suddenly shattered.

He couldn't really ignore the possible harm to Meng Xinqiao and continue to go his own way to seek a real answer.

Shen Boyan sat blankly for a long time. The clock on the wall ticked slowly. He slowly came to his senses, stood up, and turned on his phone.

Meng Xinqiao sent a message: [Go home? ]

Shen Boyan's fingers twitched.

【Um. ] he replied.

Then he didn't know what to say.

For the first time, rarely, in front of Meng Xinqiao.

Cheng Wenjun came back very late. When Shen Boyan went out of the room to pour water, he met him who was dusty and haggard.

When he saw Shen Boyan, Cheng Wenjun pulled the corner of his mouth and revealed a smile that wasn't quite a smile.

"Xiaoyan, are you back?" he asked.

"Yeah." Shen Boyan put down his cup and responded.

He did not ask Cheng Wenjun why he came back so late, but Cheng Wenjun said it himself: "Something happened in the company, and I have been busy until now."

He took off his shoes, walked towards Shen Boyan, stood still in front of him, and said in a gentle tone: "That's why I got back a little late."

Shen Boyan raised his head and glanced at him, took a step back and picked up the kettle.

Cheng Wenjun paused and then said, "Xiaoyan, let's go to the company's villa for vacation together on the weekend."

"No." Shen Boyan refused, "Aren't you very busy?"

"...Ah." Cheng Wenjun Hitting a snag, his smile became awkward without any surprise, "At least I can take it out..."

"You'd better be busy." Shen Boyan didn't want to listen to his excuses, "I don't really want to go out on weekends."

Shen Boyan said After that, he held the cup and left.

He didn't want to communicate more with Cheng Wenjun, but he still stayed up in the middle of the night to listen to Cheng Wenjun's conversation with the system.

"Host, your strategy progress has dropped to 53%." The system's voice was still cold and deep, echoing strangely in Shen Boyan's ears, "Please keep up your efforts. If it does not reach 75% within 10 days, the second punishment mode will be activated. ."

This time Shen Boyan didn't hear Cheng Wenjun's answer.

The system seemed to issue an ultimatum, and after speaking, there was no sound. Shen Boyan stood up from the corner and thought about what he just heard. 10 days.

There are only 10 days, what can Cheng Wenjun do? The second dose?

Or did he do something else extreme?

Shen Boyan told Meng Xinqiao the latest situation of the matter. Meng Xinqiao was not asleep yet and returned soon.

Meng Xinqiao: [It’s okay, don’t worry about him. 】

【Whatever you want to do, do it. Just stay away from him that day in punishment mode. ]

Shen Boyan held the phone silently, not knowing what to answer, so he only typed two words: [Okay. ]

[Yes, there is more. ] Meng Xinqiao added, [It wasn’t just him that day, you had to stay away from all the Cheng family members. ]

Shen Boyan frowned.

For some reason, he remembered Cheng Shunhao sitting on the sofa in the living room of the Cheng family that day.

Cheng Shunhao's back was very straight, holding up his already somewhat aging body, as stiff as a tree about to break in the wind. 【OK. 】So he said.

He wanted to know what connection the Cheng family had with that system. But he couldn't ask, so he simply stopped asking. …

In the next few days, Shen Boyan used various methods to avoid Cheng Wenjun. He spent most of his time in the office, waiting until the sun set, the sky gradually turned into darkness, and the lights on the campus gradually turned on and off.

Cheng Wenjun took advantage of every opportunity to try to invite him, but he refused every time without giving any face. Even Cheng Wenjun blocked the door of the office, and he completely blocked Cheng Wenjun from the door by saying coldly: "Something will happen later."

After being rejected again and again, Cheng Wenjun seemed to have become numb.

Shen Boyan saw that his smile gradually became embarrassing and stiff, and later he was so anxious that he couldn't even hang it. But Shen Boyan still adhered to his own set of rules of conduct and never gave Cheng Wenjun any opportunity to take advantage of him.

Four days later at night, before going to bed, Shen Boyan met Cheng Wenjun who opened the door with an ugly expression on his face.

"Do you still have contact with that Meng Xinqiao?" He asked in a very straightforward tone.

Perhaps realizing that his attitude was too hasty, he added, "Can you tell me, Xiaoyan?"

"Yes, what's wrong?" Shen Boyan paused and asked.

"Did he talk to you about anything work-related?" Cheng Wenjun immediately stared at him.

"No." Shen Boyan replied calmly.

He and Meng Xinqiao have indeed been in contact. Meng Xinqiao would occasionally chat with Shen Boyan about interesting things, but he was very busy, so he showed his style of enjoying hardships.

Shen Boyan replies every time. But these days, he always felt uncomfortable when facing Meng Xinqiao.

As if separated by cotton.

"Xiaoyan," Cheng Wenjun called Shen Boyan's name and paused as if he was trying to think of words.

"I don't know how to tell you... I didn't want you to get involved in the company."

"But there is really no way. This person is commanding Seener and has recently tried to harm our company."

He looked at Shen Bo. He said: "There is a dinner party in the next two days, and he will attend it. Can you participate with me and find a time to ask him some questions in private?"
