Chapter 428 This day will eventually come.
It turns out that people use one stomach for dinner and another stomach for late-night snacks.
Although he had eaten his fill at dinner, Ye Sanqing didn't mind consuming more energy since there were still so many things to deal with that night.
Fortunately, no more dramatic scenes unfolded, such as a killer hiding under the food cart.
Things shouldn't happen more than three times!
Master Ying might not follow this rule, so Ye Sanqing was still alert and prepared.
Thankfully, nothing happened.
Gong Yao took out a testing device and poked it into the food before announcing that it was safe to eat.
Ye Sanqing looked at her curiously.
"I didn't take it out just now because I don't have Brother Yun Shu's high-tech equipment."
Gong Yao explained, "Although under normal circumstances, there's no need to be this cautious, but the Lu family..."
"Is this available for purchase?" Ye Sanqing asked.
"Mine isn't for commercial use, but Brother Yunshu might have a commercial version."
"it is good."
Ye Sanqing immediately sent a message to Yun Shu.
This is actually quite convenient.
It didn't matter before, but it's better to be careful now.
The late-night snacks are not much, mainly delicate, small in quantity, and high in calories, and they are suitable for pairing with alcohol, so they are quickly consumed with alcohol.
"Well, now I feel like I've recovered all the blood I lost."
Ye Jin'er sighed.
Fortunately, he has already retired, otherwise, a hand injury would have been a huge problem.
"Shall we go back and rest first?"
Gong Yao looked at Sheng Hanyu and said.
"Okay, I'll keep in touch."
Sheng Hanyu then went out with Gong Yao.
"You really scared me to death!"
As soon as Gong Yao came out, he exclaimed, "A real knife is one thing, but a real gun is another. It's a good thing you're alright, otherwise how would I explain this to my aunt and uncle when I get back?"
"Ugh."
It would have been better if she hadn't mentioned Gong Xiran, because after she did, Sheng Hanyu sighed.
Sheng Luoxin genuinely cares about him, but Gong Xiran's feelings are hard to say.
Speaking of this, I probably can't tell Sheng Luoxin about it yet.
What happened before made him realize that the other person wasn't someone who needed to create a false sense of security, but shootings...
"Don't tell them for now, I'll tell them myself when I get back." After thinking about it, he decided to do so.
Even if someone were to say something, it would be more appropriate for him to say it himself.
"no problem."
Gong Yao wasn't completely unaware of his family's problems. Besides, in the end, nothing happened, so he could leave it to him to handle.
"We might need to do some coordination work tonight..."
As Sheng Hanyu spoke, she and Gong Yao went to their guest room.
His room was just a few steps away; such thoughtfulness couldn't have been arranged by Ye Wanyin.
Does Ye Wanyin really have the ability to arrange such a large banquet...?
Now that the two of them had left, Ye Jin'er had Shen Ji bring Li Jinsheng over.
At times like these, those who are supposed to be there should naturally be there.
For example, Han Jin-yi, who is always ready to be injected with sedatives.
Shen Ji had been with Li Jinsheng the whole time.
It was less like he was accompanying her and more like he was watching over her. However, Li Jinsheng didn't make any move to escape. Instead, he just sat there with a look of utter despair.
His expression clearly told Shen Ji that he was not only involved in this matter, but might even be more deeply involved.
Shen Ji focused all his energy on calming himself down and didn't make things difficult for him.
It won’t take long for this.
"You were there that day, weren't you?"
Ye Jin'er got straight to the point.
"That day..."
Li Jinsheng's numb gaze flickered and gradually began to focus.
He gave a bitter smile. "I knew this day would eventually come. Yes, I'm here."
“You probably won’t believe me no matter what I say, but I really didn’t know there were drugs in that glass of wine, let alone so many drugs…”
Shen Ji took a deep breath.
He's getting close to the truth; he can't afford to break down now.
“That day was just an ordinary dinner party... You all know that people like us don’t have the right to say ‘no’.”
"Besides, the group had only been together for a short time back then, and we needed to rely on others to do anything. Could we have stayed at the top for so long on our own?"
"It was only then that I realized that no matter how hard I practiced dancing, or how excellent my performance was, they could replace me anytime they wanted."
"I can't live without money. So..."
Li Jinsheng seemed to want to defend himself, but he gave up before he could say anything.
"Never mind, what's done is done. I was the one who handed him that glass of wine."
This is different from Yan Anxu's situation... Ye Sanqing thought.
She didn't interrupt him, but just glanced at Ye Jin'er, who was probably thinking the same thing as her.
“I can’t deny that, because…they preserved the evidence.”
"What did you say?"
Even though Shen Ji kept repeating to himself to stay calm, saying that sentence was tantamount to Li Jinsheng admitting that he was the murderer.
How could he possibly remain calm when facing the murderer who killed Shen Qing!
Ye Jin'er cleared his throat, suppressing his emotions, but the violent heaving of his chest indicated that his emotions could explode at any moment.
"I'm sorry, Brother Shen."
As Li Jinsheng spoke, he suddenly stood up and bowed deeply to him.
He is still extremely weak, and he could only manage this movement by holding onto the back of the chair.
“You took good care of us back then, I… I really have no face to see you, that’s why… and they told us not to tell you either, I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to control myself if I saw you and told you the truth, and then…”
He didn't finish his sentence, but Shen Ji knew that he was explaining why he had avoided seeing him after that incident.
“I’m sorry to Shen Qing, and I’m sorry to you too. I’ll do anything you ask me to atone for my sins. But please allow me to keep some of the money as compensation.”
"why?"
Ye Sanqing asked.
Li Jinsheng's attitude was completely unlike that of someone who would suddenly be concerned about money at a time like this.
Everyone knows that haggling over compensation makes one seem insincere, especially when there is an element of atonement involved.
"I...I'm not trying to appeal to your emotions, but my sister needs medical expenses..."
Li Jinsheng seemed to have used up the last of his strength to say, "At least let me keep her medical expenses, I can compensate for everything else."
"Your sister's life is precious, but my brother's life isn't?!"
Shen Ji retorted angrily, "You and Shen Qing were so close back then, was it all a lie?!"
"Look at me as I answer!"
This time, Ye Jin'er did not stop her.
Li Jinsheng slumped back into his chair.
He was silent for a moment before looking up and saying, "It's not fake. You may not believe it, but it's not fake."
"I'm in pain too, and I hate the people who made me hand them drinks!"
Two lines of tears rolled down his cheeks.
