Chapter 1325: The First Lunar New Year’s Eve After Marriage 13

Shen Tiancheng’s gaze is deep and mysterious, his delicately handsome face still carrying a hint of leisurely carelessness, but he is not as optimistic as Shu Kaiqi.

"Don’t be too complacent, five years ago during that operation, wasn’t the higher-ups confident they could eliminate Bai Chenyao, and what happened?"

"Those who were annihilated were the fifty men I brought over, and they were all mercenaries!"

Shu Kaiqi’s smile stiffened slightly.

His gaze flickered, suddenly resting again on Mu Tiantian lying on the bed.

"That’s not necessarily the case. Bai Chenyao used to be single-mindedly focused on military and politics, but now Bai Chenyao..."

With a cold smile at the corner of his lips, Shu Kaiqi remains very confident.

Shen Tiancheng watched and smiled faintly, even leaned back lazily and spoke, "Just a woman, that’s all. We can act and deceive outsiders, why can’t Bai Chenyao act to deceive us!"

Shu Kaiqi’s smile slowly faded a lot.

However, thinking of Bai Chenyao’s various acts of kindness towards Mu Tiantian, he felt it shouldn’t be.

Shen Tiancheng couldn’t help but remind, "Young Master Shu, don’t forget how Bai Chenyao treated Mu Tiantian when he saw her again after all these years!"

Those things, people outside don’t know. Although their knowledge is not detailed, they can generally understand.

"Moreover, Bai Chenyao personally told me that his intention towards Mu Tiantian is revenge!"

Saying this, Shen Tiancheng pursed his lips and couldn’t help but mock.

"What kind of personality does Bai Chenyao have? Once he sets his sights, even nine oxen can’t pull him back, be it people or things. Have you ever seen anyone snatch anything from his hands?"

Shu Kaiqi’s concentration suddenly shifted to Shen Tiancheng.

The implication is clear, that at least Shen Tiancheng has now managed to take Mu Tiantian.

Shen Tiancheng lightly shook his head, amid the appearance of wicked laziness flashed a hint of suspicion.

"This is the first time I’ve ever snatched anything from Bai Chenyao’s hands!"

Seeing Shen Tiancheng’s suspicious look, Shu Kaiqi knew what Shen Tiancheng was doubting.

But could Bai Chenyao’s kindness to Mu Tiantian really be because of revenge?

Shu Kaiqi somewhat didn’t believe it!

If it was purely for revenge that Bai Chenyao kept Mu Tiantian by his side, then what they did, bringing Mu Tiantian over, hoping to restrain Bai Chenyao or at least disrupt his mind, would be impossible.

It would be akin to spending lots of time and effort on a very meaningless act.

Shu Kaiqi’s facial expression was somewhat complex, seemingly weighing the pros and cons of such actions.

Shen Tiancheng looked on, chuckling lightly.

"Young Master Shu has always acted decisively, seeing you pondering thoroughly like this truly surprises me!"

Shu Kaiqi’s eyes flashed coldly, then slowly raised his gaze, looking at Shen Tiancheng whose face was full of sly and shallow smiles at him.

"Young Master Shen need not probe, and I’ve made it clear, as long as this mission succeeds, the higher-ups have agreed to let me be with Tian Tian!"

Shen Tiancheng let out a cold laugh, watching Shu Kaiqi without hesitation, mocking him.

"For those who don’t know, they might really believe Young Master Shu is a rare sentimental type, negotiating terms with the organization for the sake of a woman!"

Shu Kaiqi watched with a half-truth smile, his expression sarcastically flamboyant and looking at Shen Tiancheng full of mockery.

"Compared to Young Master Shen’s ruthlessness and indifference, I assure you my feelings for Tian Tian are absolutely genuine!"

Listening, Shen Tiancheng couldn’t help but burst out laughing.
