He continued, "If that's really the case, why didn't you let Ruoxi tell me just now?"
Lu Shen frowned slightly.
Some reckless people always manage to step on his landmines, and Su Ziyu is definitely one of them.
"Ruoxi and I are not that different." He laughed sarcastically.
In short, Ruoxi ended up staying with me instead of going with you.
Does he really think nobody knows what he's planning?
Otherwise, why would there be talk of sending him abroad?
“If I hadn’t gotten a job at the last minute, you wouldn’t have had this opportunity at all.”
He is now beginning to regret agreeing to Ran Jie's offer so readily, thus missing the best opportunity.
"Work?" Lu Shen scoffed.
"You've already made your choice in your heart, haven't you?"
"Work is more important than Ruoxi."
Su Ziyu, on the other end of the phone, showed a hint of panic.
"No, no, Ruoxi is the most important person in my heart."
He repeated this phrase over and over, as if trying his best to prove something and convince himself.
"Really? Then why didn't you decide to stay back then?"
Why?
When Lu Shen asked that question, Su Ziyu already had a pretty good answer in his heart.
He believed that everything was still possible.
Clearly, Lu Shen had also seen through this.
"Do you think that if you finish everything and then come back to pursue Ruoxi, you'll definitely be able to catch up with her?"
"Su Ziyu, have you been acting in too many idol dramas? How could you possibly think Ruoxi would wait for you?"
What they say doesn't match their ability to do.
Such a person is not worthy of pursuing Ruoxi.
"What do you know?" Su Ziyu suddenly shouted at Lu Shen as if someone had stepped on his tail.
"If it weren't for your interference, Ruoxi would have left those troubles long ago and lived a peaceful life."
Lu Shen sighed and rubbed his forehead. He really had no patience to listen to Su Ziyu's clichéd remarks anymore.
"Trying to pin everything on me? Go ahead, whatever you do will be in vain."
"To tell you the truth, even without me, Ruoxi wouldn't have gone with you in the end. Do you know why?"
Su Ziyu remained silent for a long time without saying a word.
"Ruoxi deserves someone who loves and protects her wholeheartedly."
"It's obvious that you aren't."
After Lu Shen finished speaking, a "beep beep beep" sound came from the receiver.
Su Ziyu stood there quietly, lost in thought, his mind filled with what Lu Shen had just said.
"Do I really have absolutely no chance?"
Li Anran also had trouble sleeping at night.
Every day at the Lu family's house felt like an eternity.
She checked her phone countless times that night, but still didn't get a single reply from the other side.
The screen displayed all the messages she had sent.
"Boss, the Lu family's situation is very critical right now. Even the old lady has started to suspect me."
When exactly will the base send someone to meet with me?
I waited for almost an hour, but still didn't see a reply.
Just when she thought there would be no news tonight, her phone suddenly rang.
The message notification sound was like heavenly music to her at that moment.
She hurriedly checked the messages.
Meet at the designated location at 10:00 AM tomorrow.
"Tomorrow? The old woman hasn't taken away the maid she gave me yet."
"Looks like I need to find an excuse to go out."
the next day.
Li Anran first took a walk in the back garden in the morning. After confirming that the old lady and Lu Shen had not gotten up yet, she calmed herself down.
"Alright, you don't need to follow me anymore. I need to go to the bathroom and then rest."
The maid sensed something was amiss and asked in confusion.
"Miss Li, you just got up not long ago, are you going to rest again already?"
There was a hint of panic on her face, but she quickly concealed it well.
"Can't I get tired of walking in the garden?"
"The old lady sent you to keep an eye on me, not to control me."
Upon hearing this, the servants lowered their heads unwillingly, not daring to say anything more.
After returning to her room, Li Anran began to change her clothes.
She had prepared maid's clothes in the wardrobe long ago.
If we want to leave the Lu family, this is the only way now.
She was terrified the whole way, fearing that she would be discovered by the Lu family.
She breathed a sigh of relief after successfully exiting the area.
"Luckily I was prepared in advance, otherwise, figuring it out would have been a real hassle."
She glanced at the Lu residence behind her, a slight smirk playing on her lips.
"It's a shame that the old lady bragged to me before, saying that the Lu family's security here is the best."
"But I still managed to escape easily, didn't I?"
"With this level of defense, I wonder who they can stop?"
She had personally witnessed the training sessions of the people under the boss's command.
Whether it's hand-to-hand combat or shooting, they're clearly top-notch.
The comparison only strengthened her resolve to cling tightly to the boss's coattails.
I finally managed to escape this time.
She must clearly demonstrate her loyalty and beg the boss for help.
At this moment, in Lu Shen's bedroom.
"Young Master, we have followed your instructions and allowed Miss Li to leave."
The servant is reporting the situation to Lu Shen.
The young master knew the orders the old lady had given them from the very beginning.
Following the old lady's orders, the young master added another clause.
If Miss Li leaves, tell them not to obstruct her too much.
Also by Lu Shao's side was his bodyguard, A-Jie.
"Young Master, we've received word from the brothers that they've already sent men to follow Miss Li."
Lu Shen nodded slightly.
How can he catch the person he wants to see if he doesn't release this bait?
He then said to the servants, "Don't tell the old lady what I told you today, so as not to worry her."
"If I find out who leaked it..."
"You know the consequences."
The servants quickly bowed their heads and said, "Yes."
Young Master Lu's plan was to give them the courage, but they wouldn't dare to go out and talk nonsense.
After the four people left, A-Jie turned on his computer and showed Lu Shen the content on the screen.
"Young Master, this is the listening device we installed at Miss Li's place a while ago."
"Miss Li went into a Western restaurant."
However, not long after Li Anran went inside, the listening equipment malfunctioned.
"This shouldn't be happening." Ah Jie quickly started adjusting the settings, trying to figure out where the problem was.
This is the latest developed listening device; someone like Li Anran shouldn't be able to detect it at all.
How could that be?
"No need." Lu Shen frowned slightly and waved to A-Jie.
"The other party must have been prepared in advance, and probably installed anti-eavesdropping devices a long time ago."
"It's normal that you can't hear it."
If they could discover the other party so easily, then there would be no point in doing so.
