Born as a space beast, Shi Chu possessed a strong sense of self-preservation and was inherently selfish. She revelled in luxury, indulging in fine food and clothing. She rejected phrases like “su...
Chapter 545: A Wedding for the Disabled Boss (End)
"Manager Wang, come to my office in ten minutes. I have something to tell you." Shu Shihuan instructed Manager Wang after the meeting. Manager Wang suddenly became nervous and quickly recalled whether he had made any mistakes at work during this period, fearing that Shu Shihuan was looking for him with bad intentions.
After Shu Shihuan returned to his office, he checked his cell phone to see if Mo Shichu, the heartless woman who forgot about her home once she ran outside, had called him.
There were no missed calls, but there were several news links from various apps. He glanced at them casually, but his heart skipped a beat when he saw the title of a news item.
"Four people have died and eighteen have been injured in a violent clash at the workers' march on Alice Avenue in Country F, one of the dead is an Asian woman..."
Shu Shihuan felt his hands and feet go weak, his fingers trembling, and he clicked several times before he finally clicked on the news about the conflict during the workers' march in Country F.
He clicked on it and saw a very familiar scene in the picture of the news - the bustling street and the cafe that he had seen in Mo Shichu's circle of friends before the meeting...
The blood in his body seemed to stop, and his eyes were fixed on the words in the report: "One of the dead was an Asian woman."
Asian women, Shu Shihuan tried to convince himself in his heart: No, Mo Shichu will not be so unlucky, she is so bad, it is said that evil will last for a thousand years, she will live longer than anyone else. There are so many Asian women, how could it be her?
He hurriedly found Mo Shichu's cell phone number and called her in a panic, but her number was not reachable at all. He desperately called several times, but none of them went through.
Shu Shihuan couldn't help but cover his violently beating heart with his hands, trying his best to suppress the bad thoughts in his mind. He didn't make another call, but instead searched several news reports about the conflict in the workers' march in Country F with trembling hands, wanting to see who the dead Asian woman was, and what other casualties there were...
Unfortunately, the news was released in real time. Because the time was too short, only the number of casualties was known, but the specific identities of the casualties were not known. Therefore, Shu Shihuan quickly searched many reports, but could not find out whether the person he had in mind was among the dead and injured.
"Xiao Zhao, book me the next flight to Country F right now. Also, cancel all my plans for the next three days!" Shu Shihuan gave his secretary an order over the phone while continuing to call Mo Shichu. However, no matter how anxious he was, he just couldn't get through to Mo Shichu's phone.
"Mr. Shu, the next flight to Country F will be available in forty minutes. You must leave for the airport immediately to board the flight on time." The secretary quickly replied to Shu Shihuan.
Shu Shihuan immediately picked up his car keys and wallet and hurriedly left the office.
Manager Wang happened to come up from downstairs and met Shu Shihuan, who had an extremely ugly expression on his face. He was about to speak to him, but Shu Shihuan acted as if he didn't see him at all and hurriedly left his side.
"Secretary Zhao, what happened that makes Mr. Shu so anxious? He just asked me to come to him..." Manager Wang asked Secretary Zhao with a puzzled look on his face.
Secretary Zhao shook his head and said, "I don't know either. President Shu just asked me to book a flight to Country F. Something must have happened in Country F."
When Manager Wang heard that Shu Shihuan had gone to Country F, he breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he had escaped danger for the time being.
More than half an hour ago, in a cafe on Alice Avenue in Country F.
As Mo Shichu listened to the footsteps getting closer, his heartbeat became so violent that it seemed like it was going to jump out of his chest, and the palms of his hands holding the knife and fork began to sweat.
She couldn't just sit there and wait for death. These people were cruel and desperate. After toying with them, they would definitely kill them in the end, so she had to save herself.
When the footsteps were less than one meter away from them, Mo Shichu suddenly pushed the table in front of him forward. The two gangsters who were rushing forward were caught off guard and were hit hard by the table. After falling down, they were crushed by the heavy table.
The other gangster who was walking behind was lucky enough not to be knocked down by the table. After he reacted, he wanted to open the wooden warehouse, but his movements were not as fast as Mo Shichu.
While he was still not reacting, Mo Shichu immediately flew up, kicked him hard in the chest, and then snatched the wooden barrel from his hand in the blink of an eye.
Mo Shichu was wearing ten-centimeter high heels. She kicked hard and made a sharp hole in the chest of the gangster. Even if the wooden basket in his hand had not been snatched away by Mo Shichu, it would have been impossible for him to aim at someone and open the wooden basket.
After the wooden cannon fell into Mo Shichu's hands, the three people became unlucky. Mo Shichu rewarded each of them with a wooden cannon, hitting them on their collarbones, crippling their mobility. At the same time, he quickly snatched the wooden cannon from the hands of the two people who were pressed under the table and threw it to Chen Huaying and Lin Feifei: "Hold the wooden cannon!"
Lin Feifei picked up the wooden barn tremblingly and said with tears streaming down her face, "I, I don't know how to open a wooden barn..."
Chen Huaying was a ruthless man. Perhaps he was encouraged by Mo Shichu's successful counterattack. He took over the wooden basket and imitated Mo Shichu, adding another wooden basket to each of the three gangsters. Although his work was clumsy, he finally hit the legs of the three gangsters. After the beating, he said to Mo Shichu with a forced smile: "It will be safer to add another wooden basket."
All right, Mo Shichu nodded: "You guys watch them. If they don't behave, they can continue to open the wooden warehouse. I'll take a look outside."
As she spoke, she hid behind the wall and looked out the window cautiously. The street outside the window was still in chaos, but it was obvious that the officials had the upper hand, and those who took advantage of the chaos to cause trouble were struggling to survive and would not be able to hold on for much longer.
Sure enough, after they waited anxiously for more than half an hour, the conflict outside finally ended. Ambulances and police cars drove in and began to clean up the mess. Mo Shichu then hurried out to let the police take the three gangsters away.
"Finally, everything is alright!" Terrified Lin Feifei hugged Mo Shichu and burst into tears. Chen Huaying, who had been very calm before, couldn't help but have tears in her eyes. She hugged Mo Shichu and Lin Feifei tightly to celebrate her survival.
"Okay, let's call home and report that we're safe." Mo Shichu patted their backs and said.
However, she did not find her cell phone, and even her bag was gone. Perhaps she had lost it when she was hiding and escaping, so the three of them went back to the coffee shop to look for their bags.
"My phone is broken." Mo Shichu said in annoyance. The phone with a broken screen could no longer be turned on.
"It's okay, my cell phone is still in good condition. I'll lend it to you after I'm done with the call." Chen Huaying said.
Mo Shichu then borrowed Chen Huaying's cell phone to report safety to his family, but he couldn't get through to Shu Shihuan's cell phone. Mo Shichu thought he was busy with work and turned off his phone, so he didn't care.
However, more than ten hours later, she saw the dusty Shu Shihuan outside her hotel room. Before she could ask him why he was here, he hugged her tightly and she heard him say with relief: "Fortunately, you are okay..."
It was not until he experienced the unbearable pain of thinking he had lost Mo Shichu that Shu Shihuan realized that he had fallen deeply in love with her.
