"Young Master Lu, what would it take for you to let me go back?"
He dared not contradict Lu Shen and say "adapt," for fear that Lu Shen would keep him here indefinitely.
If we say we "don't adapt well," we're afraid this young master will use it as an excuse to make a fuss.
He could only change the subject.
Lu Shen snorted coldly and glanced sideways at President Zheng.
This Mr. Zheng does have some brains, though not many, but enough.
"What did you do at the party last time? Do you need me to give you a hint?"
President Zheng immediately realized what Lu Shen was talking about.
He didn't even need to ask any further questions; she took the initiative to tell him everything.
"Young Master Lu, it was Jian Mengyu's woman who made me do this. She also said that it was Miss Li who ordered it."
"As you know, Miss Li's status is different now. How could I dare not listen to what she says?"
He spoke the last sentence almost in a low voice, while simultaneously glancing at Lu Shende's eyes out of the corner of his eye.
The question remains: who holds a greater place in Lu Shao's heart, Miss Li or Miss Jian?
"President Zheng, you've got some nerve, now you even dare to test my thoughts?"
Mr. Zheng waved his hands and shook his head in a panic.
"Young Master Lu is joking. Even if you gave me the guts, I wouldn't dare."
Who would dare to easily challenge Young Master Lu's authority?
"Do I look like I'm joking with you?"
"Or do you really want to stay in this small room forever?"
His heart skipped a beat. Of course, Young Master Lu was not joking; he always kept his word.
If I really anger him, he can lock me up if he says so.
This will not have any impact on Young Master Lu.
He quickly begged Lu Shen for mercy.
"Young Master Lu, please have mercy, I want to get out."
"If you let me go this time, I'll do whatever you say from now on."
This was exactly what Lu Shen was waiting for.
Surprisingly, Mr. Zheng is quite self-aware.
Then he wouldn't stand on ceremony.
"Do you remember the business I discussed with you at the party?"
Mr. Zheng recalled the events of that day, and confirmed that it did indeed happen.
Young Master Lu wants to be a behind-the-scenes investor, and wants him to be the one to speak on the front lines.
"I... I remember you invested in the young lady's script, but you didn't want anyone else to know."
Lu Shen stretched out his finger and waved it in front of him a few times.
"No, Mr. Zheng seems to have misremembered. Haven't you always been the one who actually paid for it?"
His eyes were full of shrewdness and calculation as he looked at President Zheng.
Could this person really be so naive as to think that by conspiring with Li Anran to scheme against Ruoxi, they can escape unscathed?
How can we not make him bleed a little?
"Huh?" President Zheng's face showed great surprise.
He never imagined that, after all the twists and turns, he would become an "angel investor".
"Xiao Jin's script was written by a professional, and you've already met the female lead."
"I believe that Mr. Zheng will meet any requests the director and actors may have."
General Manager Zheng let out a long sigh.
Now that he's in someone else's hands, he's like a fish on a chopping board, and he has to listen to whatever they say.
"Young Master Lu is right, I will do it."
Lu Shen nodded in satisfaction and gestured to A-Jie beside him.
Ah Jie beckoned to two bodyguards who led President Zheng out.
Before leaving, Lu Shen didn't forget to give President Zheng a piece of advice.
"I believe Mr. Zheng is a smart man and he probably won't be thinking of coming back."
A chill ran down Mr. Zheng's spine, and he quickened his pace.
He had absolutely no desire to return to this godforsaken place.
"Young Master, shall we go back to the company now or...?" Ah Jie opened the door ahead of time.
"Hmm," Lu Shen replied calmly.
Ruoxi isn't here today either, so he'll go to the company and work overtime a little longer. Maybe they can get together and come back together.
Just as he was about to step out of the basement, Ah-Jie suddenly received a phone call.
"What did you say?"
"how so?"
Lu Shen frowned, a sense of foreboding washing over him.
"What happened?"
Ah-Jie has always been one of the more composed people around him; he wouldn't have this expression unless something particularly serious had happened.
"Young Master."
"The brothers who were hiding in the production crew just sent back a message."
"They say the young mistress has gone missing."
"In the forest next to the recording site, they were only looking for the red string that the young mistress had always worn."
He spoke haltingly, as if afraid that if he spoke too fast, the young master would not be able to keep up.
The young mistress disappeared right under her brothers' noses, and there has been no trace of her to this day.
There is only one reason.
That means the young mistress is already in danger.
What he could think of, Lu Shen could also think of.
And there was the phone call the head maid just received.
If it's really work that requires her to come home late, Ruoxi will call herself and will never ask someone else to do it.
At that time, Ruoxi was already...?
At this moment, Lu Shen clenched his fists, and the veins on the back of his hands and neck bulged, as if he was about to explode at any moment.
"Ah Jie, send someone to track down the phone call that just came into the house."
"I need to know the exact location where the signal was sent within five minutes."
"Call the others and come with me to the recording site of the show."
He couldn't wait a moment longer if Ruoxi got into trouble.
"yes!"
Ah Jie knew the urgency of the matter and didn't dare to delay for a moment, so he immediately went down to make arrangements.
Lu Shen looked into the distance with a worried expression.
She silently prayed, "Ruoxi, you must be safe."
Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll go crazy.
