Chapter 26: Explosion at the Dance
Although the Shangguan family's financial resources are not as good as the Fu family and the Shu family, their network of influence is like the roots of a big tree, extending to the whole of China. They are China's intelligence network and the most terrifying existence in China.
If you mess with the Shangguan family, you are no doubt dead. They have ten million ways to torture you and not let you die. Only they themselves know how dirty their secret dealings are.
How did Fu Heming get involved with them at this time, and how did they appear in Haicheng?
As if they sensed being stared at, everyone at that table looked over. Shu Yue and the others immediately turned around and continued to eat calmly.
"I seem to have seen those guys in the hotel."
Someone looked at Shu Yue and others and spoke.
"Just a bunch of ants, don't worry about them. Don't forget why we are here."
Fu Heming's eyes fell on Shu Yue's back.
He heard everything she said just now. He was just here to act as a guide and didn't know whether these people were from the Shangguan family. If Shu Yue's words were credible, then it was only a matter of time before he could win over the people of the Shangguan family.
Shu Yue buried his head in eating, looking a little heavy and distressed, and no longer had the energy to wolf down his food as fast as before.
After lunch, everyone returned to the hotel together. No one spoke along the way, as everyone had their own thoughts.
Shu Quan reported in the group what had just happened.
Shu Huai: I know the Shangguan family. I have dealt with them before. When I went to the port to receive goods, their people came to rob us once. They also kidnapped one of our brothers. We don’t know whether he is alive or dead. Their methods are extremely cruel.
Shu Chen: Brother, avoid them if you can. It’s better not to have too much contact with them. Safety is the most important thing.
Shu Lin: What Shu Chen said is right. We have the least idea about the Shangguan family, so it’s better not to provoke them easily.
On the other side, Fu Jingshen also sent out a message.
Fu Jingshen: Investigate what the Shangguan family has done recently and why they suddenly appeared here.
He also sent out a location.
Soon after returning to the hotel, the Mediterranean boss sent me an invitation.
"There will be a dance party in the banquet hall tonight. You must come and participate. By the way, remember to find a good dance partner."
Shu Yue had just seen off the Mediterranean boss when Fu Jingshen appeared at the door.
"Mr. Fu? Is there something wrong?"
"I want to invite you to be my dance partner. I wonder if you have the honor."
Fu Jingshen reached out to her.
Shu Yue opened her mouth, but before she could say anything, Shu Quan popped up.
"Of course my sister will be my dance partner, Mr. Fu, you should find someone else, she already has me."
Shu Quan pushed Shu Yue into the house without saying a word and closed the door.
"Brother, you invited me to be your dance partner, what about Qin Niaoniao?"
"How can Niaoniao dance in a wheelchair?"
"Yes, she still feels pain from the wound when she stands up now."
“Knock, knock.”
There was a knock on the door, accompanied by Fu Jingshen's voice.
"Ms. Shu, please consider it. I am a great dancer."
Shu Yue raised her eyebrows slightly.
[Dancing with Fu Jingshen doesn't seem bad. 】
Shu Quan frowned, turned Shu Yue's face to look at him, and said seriously, "Brother is also a good dancer. Instead of looking for an outsider, you might as well look for me."
Shu Yue blinked.
"It's because you're my brother. Dancing with you is so boring."
This is the truth. Who would ask their brother to attend the dance, even though he is not their biological brother?
Shu Quan was choked by her words.
"In short, you can't find Fu Jingshen."
"Why?"
Shu Yue asked sincerely.
"No reason."
Shu Quan was firm in his attitude, so Shu Yue had no choice but to nod.
Shu Yue is no match for Fu Jingshen, a man with a dark heart and sophisticated means. She will definitely be played by him. Shu Quan cannot let his sister fall into danger.
Not long after Shu Quan left, the waiter came.
"Miss, this is the dress Mr. Fu prepared for you. He said he wants to ask you to dance with him tonight, just one dance. I hope you can agree."
Shu Yue looked at the dress in her hand. It was a white knee-length dress with exquisite workmanship. It was embroidered with butterflies that looked lifelike and very beautiful.
The dress has been prepared for her, so she has to dance.
"Please tell Mr. Fu that the dress is very beautiful and I like it very much."
Although she didn't know why Fu Jingshen approached her, there would be no good outcome if she went against him. It would be better to make friends with the handsome guy. Maybe it would be helpful for the plot in the future.
Shu Yue thought so and accepted the dress.
Many wealthy people with prominent backgrounds came here today, and holding a dance party was just a means to win favor.
When Shu Yue arrived at the banquet hall, Fu Jingshen and Shu Quan were waiting at the door.
Seeing Shu Yue coming, Shu Quan stepped forward first.
"When did you bring the dress?"
Dresses are not as convenient to carry as suits, so Shu Quan was a little puzzled.
Shu Yue glanced at Fu Jingshen behind him and explained, "This was given to me by President Fu."
Shu Quan looked at Fu Jingshen, who smiled at him with some pride.
"My assistant happened to be coming to see me, so I asked him to bring a dress. I didn't expect Miss Shu to look so beautiful in it."
He praised her generously, and Shu Yue enjoyed it very much.
"Thanks."
"Let's go, Miss Shu, the dance is about to begin."
Fu Jingshen reached out his hand to Shu Yue. Just as Shu Yue was about to put her hand over, Shu Quan got there first. He grabbed Shu Yue's hand and held it tightly.
"Mr. Fu, Shu Yue is my dance partner, and I should be the one to take her in."
Fu Jingshen looked casual.
"It doesn't matter. Anyway, Miss Shu promised me that she would give me time for a dance, right, Miss Shu?"
The two people looked at Shu Yue at the same time. Shu Yue lowered her head silently and dared not speak.
[I'm in a difficult situation too. I have no power or influence, and you all want me to be your dance partner. How should I choose? Only children make choices, of course I want both! 】
One second I thought she was just under pressure, but the next second her true nature was exposed.
The dance started, and Fu Jingshen took the lead in inviting Shu Yue to dance. Shu Yue excitedly took Fu Jingshen's hand and walked to the dance floor, and did not forget to comfort Shu Quan, "Brother, it's your turn next, don't worry."
In the past, Shu Yue didn't know how to dance at all, but after being the daughter of the Shu family for ten years, she has now mastered all the necessary skills.
Fu Jingshen put his hand on her waist, and his other hand was gently clasped with Shu Yue's. They were so close that they could feel each other's breathing.
Shu Yue couldn't help but think of the night when they first met.
[Fortunately Shu Huai arrived in time, otherwise...]
"Bang!"
An explosion sounded, and flames covered everything. Shu Yue's eyes suddenly went dark. Fu Jingshen subconsciously protected Shu Yue in his arms. The flames climbed up his back and burned him. Thick smoke penetrated into his nostrils, and soon Shu Yue fainted.
