Chapter 14: Report! President, your mother ran away!

Zhou Chu was shocked: "Mom, but these are company secrets."

"What are you afraid of? Will your mother reveal your secrets?" Shu Yan had already started printing: "I'm just going to take it back to show your father and make him happy."

"Oh, I see." Zhou Chu reluctantly said, "Then Mom, please show it to Dad and remember to burn it. Don't let it get out."

"Also, don't tell anyone else what I told you today. I carefully selected Ms. Martin, and she must not be ruined."

Ms. Martin has excellent conditions and extensive connections, which fits their brand image. Most importantly, she is currently starring in a new movie in the United States and is a huge hit.

If they fail to sign her and sign someone else, the results will be much worse, and superstars of the same level as her will also look down on them, the Zhou family.

"Don't worry." Shu Yan smiled: "Will mom cheat you?"

After printing, Shu Yan found a bag to put it in and opened the second drawer.

Inside lay a dark knife with a poppy flower engraved on the handle. It was shiny black and still exuded a chill even after all these years.

It was the Swiss Army knife given by her mother, and it was also the last birthday gift her mother gave her.

It was her birthday that day. Her mother came to pick her up from school with the knife in her pocket, and she had a car accident on the way.

"Hey, where did that knife come from? Interesting, mom took it."

"Mom," Zhou Chu said anxiously, stepping forward to grab it: "You can't take this."

Shu Yan frowned, about to lose her temper. Zhou Chu hurriedly said, "Mom, Mom, you really can't just take this knife! If you like a Swiss Army Knife, I can make one for you. It's guaranteed to be no worse than this one."

"Oh, but I like this one. I want this one today. Why, will you die if you touch this thing?"

"What's the point of dying or not, Mom? What are you thinking about?"

Zhou Chu had no choice but to point at the place where the knife was engraving the pattern: "Mom, please take a look at what is engraved here before you tell me."

Shu Yan's brows suddenly frowned.

It's just a flower with a skull carved in the center. It's just a decoration. Does it have any special meaning?

"What do you mean by that? Explain clearly."

Zhou Chu was stunned.

How come Mom doesn't even recognize this? This shouldn't be...

"Mom, please take a closer look..."

Shu Yan slapped him in the face: "Just say what I told you to say. Why are you talking so much nonsense?"

"Ah!" Zhou Chu staggered, holding his head.

But two words came to my mind: playing dumb.

How could Mom not even recognize this badge? She's clearly playing dumb with him!

How come she is becoming more and more regressive now, actually playing tricks on him just for a Swiss Army knife?

"Mom, stop it," he said helplessly, "The Jiang family is not someone you can mess with. This knife is safest with me. The fewer people who know about it, the better."

Shu Yan's heart suddenly started beating wildly.

This is just an ordinary birthday gift from her mother. Why should as few people as possible know about it?

And the Jiang family? Which family is the Jiang family? What's their relationship with Mom?

"Jiang family? How do you know this is the Jiang family?" She remained calm: "So what if it's the Jiang family?"

Zhou Chu's brows were furrowed so tightly that they could pinch a fly to death.

"Mom, how come you don't even know this?" He looked at Shu Yan carefully and muttered, "Is she sick?"

Seeing the suspicion in his eyes, Shu Yan's heart skipped a beat. She quickly calmed herself down and said seriously, "Okay, of course Mom knows. I was just testing you."

"It seems like you understand basic confidentiality, but it's better for Mom to take it away for safekeeping."

If he doesn't tell her, she will always find out on her own.

If the Zhou family and this Jiang family really have anything to do with my mother’s car accident, none of them can escape!

Zhou Chu was stunned and wanted to say something, but when he saw his mother's fierce look, he wisely chose to shut up.

Forget it, it’s no big deal to give it to mom for safekeeping.

"Mom, remember not to tell anyone about this, and don't let anyone see it. Otherwise, if the Jiang family blames us, we really can't afford it..."

"Alright, alright, I get it," Shu Yan said impatiently, "Are you annoying all this chatter? It's so late, and you haven't arranged a bedroom for your mother yet?"

"Ah? Mom, you want to sleep here?"

"Why, you won't let me?"

Zhou Chu shuddered with fear: "How could that be? Haha, I won't let anyone stop Mom from sleeping, uh hehe..."

Zhou Chu arranged Shu Yan to sleep on the second floor. Originally, she was assigned a bedroom far away from them. Shu Yan was not happy about it and personally requested to sleep next to him and Lin Qinglan.

Lin Qinglan cursed inwardly after her objection failed. She ordered the nanny to make the bed next door and waited for Shu Yan to finish drinking the wolfberry and bird's nest beauty soup before she and Zhou Chu finally closed the bedroom door.

Just cover yourself with a quilt and sleep.

There was no way, his mother was next door, and Zhou Chu couldn't feel happy.

The night was pitch black and completely silent. Zhou Chu slept soundly, never dreaming that his mother would sneak out of the villa carrying a bunch of treasures and confidential documents.

“Ah—ah, ah—”

A strange cry rang out in his ears. Zhou Chu thought he was still in a dream. He smiled evilly and hugged the beautiful woman. "Lanlan, your cry is so beautiful. Tell me, how many days do you want to stay out of bed?"

"Ah - Brother Chu - save me, fire, fire -"

Zhou Chu suddenly opened his eyes and saw a raging sea of ​​fire in front of him. Lin Qinglan was bathed in flames and the villa was on fire!

“Ah—help—”

There was a sound of ghosts howling like pigs being slaughtered.

......

Twenty minutes later, Zhou Chu stood on the side of the road, his face covered in dust and soot, like an African refugee.

He also wore a green hat on his head, covering his scalp completely.

Lin Qinglan was in a worse situation than him, covered in wounds, crying in agony: "Ah... It hurts, Brother Chu, save me..."

Zhou Chu hugged Lin Qinglan distressedly, still howling: "Damn you, you useless people, ah, useless people! Hurry up and put out the fire, ah——"

His entire villa! A private villa that cost hundreds of millions, burned down!

And all his treasures, all his company secrets! ! Ah——how could there be a fire——

He suddenly slapped his head and said, "Where's my mom? Why can't I see my mom? Gou Dong, where is my mom?! Go save her!"

Butler Gou Dong trembled with fear: "CEO, uh, your mother has already run away..."

"What? What do you mean?"

"Boss," bodyguard captain Gou Xi came running over, his eyes filled with fear. "Madam left ten minutes before the fire started! She also asked me to tell you this, saying it's a little lesson. I hope you'll accept it!"

"What?!" Zhou Chu couldn't believe his ears: "A little lesson? This was done by my mother?! How is this possible?!"

"Hey, President, the fire in the storage room is out! But, but it's empty..."

"What? My money, my gold bars and jewelry, so much of it, how could it be gone?!" Zhou Chu was furious: "How did you good-for-nothings keep it safe, huh?!"

"Boss, this isn't our fault!" the bodyguard wailed. "After you went to bed, Madam forced us to open the storage room. I...we...how could we dare to disobey..."

"So when you saw her setting the fire, you didn't stop her? Huh?!"

"But President, we didn't see her set the fire... She, she told us to stay out of the villa, saying we were smelly..."

"So when she set the fire, there was no alarm? Huh? Are you deaf? Can't you hear the alarm? Huh?!"

"But President, as soon as she entered the storage room, she asked us to turn off all the alarm systems because it was too noisy..."

"If she wanted to leave, wouldn't you stop her?! Why would you let her go, huh?!"

"Uh..." The bodyguards looked at each other, speechless.

That's your mother, how dare we stop her?

Boom, boom——

In the fire, the villa's large pillars collapsed and the house collapsed completely.

"Ah——" Zhou Chu held his head and howled frantically: "Call me, get your phone, I want to call my mom!"

His own mother took away his belongings and set the house on fire?

Oh, heaven, oh, earth, is this really reality, ah, ah——

Boom, boom——

A wave of heat came and gently blew away the green hat on his head, revealing his bald head that was burned by fire.

"Ah——" A hysterical howl came from the roadside.
