Chapter 344: Guess who it is
Shu Yue almost choked on her own saliva when she heard the name that was so familiar.
"Why? Do you know Miss Shu?"
Xu Si noticed that Shu Yue's expression was not right.
"I don't know him." Shu Yue denied.
[I suddenly remembered that Shangguan Ling seemed to have been sent to a wealthy family in Cuiyang by her father more than 20 years ago. In order to make money, his father sent his own daughter to a place like hell, where life was worse than death. The author did not describe this plot in detail, but only mentioned it in a few sentences... Could it be that she was given to Xu Si? 】
Shu Yue shuddered at the thought of this.
Fu Jingshen and the other three felt a chill down their spines when they heard Shu Yue's thoughts. Shangguan Ling had broken one or two fingers and lost an ear before returning to Shangjing from Cuiyang. He had a very narrow escape. This Xu Si looked like a smiling tiger and was not someone to be trifled with.
If Fu Jingshen had not wanted to guide Fu Heming here, he would not have agreed to Xu Si's so-called Haiqiao cooperation. He knew very well that this project could not be done.
"Mr. Fu should know Shangguan Ling, right? The Shangguan family is in Shangjing and has a strong influence." Xu Si shifted his gaze to Fu Jingshen.
Fu Jingshen responded calmly. "I know her. She's Shangguan Ling, the head of the Shangguan family. When she returned to Shangjing, her father and brother died suddenly. She inherited the family business and helped build up the Shangguan family, but she had an accident some time ago."
"Something happened to her?" Xu Si raised his eyebrows, looking like he really didn't know anything.
"She was investigated for growing poppies some time ago, and there has been no news of her since."
Xu Si nodded in understanding, "Something like what she can do."
The waiter came in to serve the dishes, and Xu Si said again, "Let's not talk about her anymore. Let's try Cuiyang's local specialties. You can't eat such authentic Cuiyang dishes outside of Cuiyang."
This Xu Si looks easy-going, but gives people a sinister feeling that he is smiling but hiding a dagger.
"Is this your first time in Cuiyang?" Xu Si asked.
"No, I've been here to film a movie before." Shu Ziming had been to Cuiyang to film a movie. Coincidentally, the movie he filmed was called Gangster Storm, and the director also chose a place that fit the theme very well for the filming.
Xu Si's eyes fell on Shu Ziming, "I've seen the movie you starred in, it's called Gangster Storm, and I even invited my brothers to go to the cinema to watch it."
"Thank you, Mr. Xu, for your support." Shu Ziming said politely.
"You are new here, so I will arrange a tour guide to take you to Cuiyang for a few days tomorrow, how about that?"
"Mr. Xu, we are not here to have fun this time. We are mainly here to discuss cooperation with you." Fu Jingshen reminded him.
"We can both cooperate and have fun. There's no rush to cooperate." Xu Si did not seem to be in a hurry.
Since the host has said so, there is no reason to refuse.
"Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Xu."
After dinner, the hotel staff took them upstairs. Xu Si was generous and booked the best suites in the Huating Hotel for them.
After entering the house, Shu Yue immediately used the surveillance detector he bought to inspect the house.
Fu Jingshen helped her draw the curtains, and the room was dark. Only the instrument in Shu Yue's hand was lit. The light disappeared into the ground and then went up into the sky, which was quite funny and amusing.
"Did you find anything?"
Fu Jingshen followed the light.
“Not yet.”
Shu Yue was serious and didn't stop until he had searched the entire room and found no surveillance. Shu Yue went to the door and turned on the light.
"Okay, check completed, this room is safe for now."
Fu Jingshen walked towards her and took the detector from her with a smile.
"What else did you bring besides this?"
Shu Yue opened her box, and soon she took out the pepper spray from it.
"There are many things that cannot be brought on the plane, so I mailed them here."
"Can't bring it? It seems that all the items you prepared are dangerous." Fu Jingshen raised his eyebrows.
"Just in case, it's better to be prepared than not. This Xu Si wants to send a tour guide to accompany us. I think it's a scam." Shu Yue checked the logistics. "The express will arrive tomorrow. Let's take it with us when we go out, just in case."
The next morning, Shu Yue's express delivery arrived at her door. It was a heavy box. She sat on the carpet in her pajamas and opened it. She picked out the items and put them in a bag, then ran next door to deliver it to Shu Ziming.
"Shu Yue? What's the matter with you coming here so early?"
Shu Ziming opened the door, eyes half asleep.
"These are for you."
Shu Yue handed him the bag.
Shu Ziming took it and found it a little heavy. He curiously opened it and looked at it. "Taser? Tiger knuckles, batons, leather paddles... so many self-defense weapons?"
"Yes, yes, they are all prepared for you. Take them with you when you go out. You can take out any one of them when you encounter danger."
Shu Yue also gave him a bottle of anti-wolf spray, "This is for you too, spray anyone who comes close to you."
Shu Ziming looked at the large bag of self-defense weapons in his hand and laughed, "Why did you prepare so many for me?"
"Because I don't want you to get hurt again."
Shu Yue knew that she couldn't persuade him to leave, so she could only try her best to protect him.
Shu Ziming looked at Shu Yue, raised his hand and gently rubbed her head, "I will protect myself, and I will protect you too."
"The most important thing is to protect yourself. You come first."
Shu Yue doesn't want the kind of thing that happened in Country M to happen again.
At eight o'clock in the morning, there was a knock on the door and Fu Jingshen went to open it.
"Morning, Mr. Fu. I'll take you to have breakfast."
The person standing at the door was Xu Xiaoliu, the driver who picked them up at the airport yesterday.
"Are you the tour guide arranged by Mr. Xu?"
"It's me. I grew up in Cuiyang. I know all the streets and alleys in Cuiyang, as well as all the delicious and fun places. I even know the sewer map by heart. It's definitely a wise choice to come to Cuiyang and ask me to be your tour guide."
Xu Xiaoliu boasts a lot.
"Boss Xu told me to make sure that all the guests have a good time. Boss Fu, do you have anything in particular that you would like to eat or go to?"
Fu Jingshen thought about it and shook his head, "No, you can arrange it."
"OK."
"What is Xu Si up to?" Shu Yue walked over and saw Xu Xiaoliu knocking on the door of the next room.
“I don’t know.”
"You said he was in such a hurry to find a partner to invest in the construction of the sea bridge, but when it came time to discuss the cooperation and sign the contract, he sent someone to take us to Cuiyang for a few days. Does he have a new partner?"
Apart from this, Shu Yue couldn't think of any other reason.
Fu Jingshen looked at Shu Yue with a smile in his eyes, "You think the same as I do, guess who it will be?"
"It can't be Fu Heming. He would like you to invest money and lose a lot of money."
