Chapter 253: Interrogation

"It's what you've done yourself that compels people to think this way," Shen Heyu didn't mince her words as she outright asked, "So what's the reason you're investigating Shen Jiangli this time?"

She stood beside Pei Yansi's desk, her cold gaze burning into him with intensity. If he didn't give her an answer, it appeared she wouldn't let it go easily.

Pei Yansi was also looking at her.

He didn't know how to tell her that he hadn't decided yet about the matter of Shen Jiangli harming Shen Fanshuang—whether to tell her a kind lie or to plainly reveal the truth.

It seemed like either option wouldn't bode well for her.

After all, the fact that Shen Jiangli had harmed Shen Fanshuang was set in stone. Whether he chose to tell a well-intentioned lie or not, it couldn't be changed.

Seeing that Pei Yansi remained silent, Shen Heyu sensed something, furrowed her brows tightly, and her eyes filled with dissatisfaction as she demanded, "So are you truly scheming against him?"
