Chapter 101: Believe in Wan Lu’s sincerity?
"These are the areas of operation for the entire family. For example, my cousin's family mainly runs companies and shopping malls. My sister runs a hospital. As for me, I'm similar to them, but I'm more inclined towards management."
In fact, Wan Lu was afraid of scaring them, so he only told them a small part.
Wan Lu's family is considered to be the most powerful group in California. Because there are so many people, there are always people who want to be the giant.
The ambitious Wan Lu was no surprise. After surviving countless hardships and becoming the head of his family, he was ostensibly a financial magnate, but in reality, a manipulator of the transition from illegal to legal activities. Meanwhile, his family also regularly engaged in charitable work, converting some of their ill-gotten gains into funds to cultivate useful talent.
Xia Cheng didn't expect Wan Lu's family to be so rich, but she was glad that her family was different from Wan Lu's. It seemed that being too powerful was not always a good thing.
Two years ago, Xia Cheng woke up in the hospital. After being discharged, she received 200,000 yuan transferred to her by strangers. Because this money was enough for her to go to school, she never returned to her hometown.
Now that I think about it, the money that Wanlu put under the bed, although I don’t know how much it was, should have been gnawed to pieces by rats!
Chen Kelin was more sober, her eyes wandering between the two of them before finally looking down at her fingers. Wan Lu was so rich, he had all the women he could get. She didn't quite believe anyone would remain faithful just because Xia Cheng saved him.
"Then why do you like Xia Cheng? You haven't seen each other for two years."
Wan Lu nodded.
"Good question." He still had that smile on his face, looking gentle, but in fact he was rejecting everyone outside his mask.
"Honestly, I've been busy all day in California and haven't really been with a woman. The time I lived with Xia Cheng was my first time living with a woman, so it's normal to be tempted. The story of the beauty saving the hero may be cliché, but it's just right for me."
"So simple?"
"It's that simple. As a foreigner, I can't explain the concept of chemistry. Your country should be more concerned with fate."
Chen Kelin turned her head away and winked at Xia Cheng secretly, obviously not moved by his words.
Xia Cheng received the hint and coughed twice.
"Um, Wanlu, Kelin and I have something to talk about. Can you give us some space?"
"sure."
Wan Lu retreated outside the ward.
Chen Kelin let out a long sigh.
"You'd better be careful. If someone chases you here, it will be very dangerous for you to marry there."
Xia Cheng smiled.
"He and I haven't seen each other for two years. How can it happen so quickly? What's the point of talking about getting married? I don't even like him. At most, I have a slight liking for him."
Chen Kelin pouted and changed the subject.
"Let's not talk about that. Anyway, how did you get kidnapped? I was so scared when I found out! I searched for you with your family for a long time, and finally found out you were shot. When I saw you outside the ICU, my heart almost stopped."
"It shouldn't be sudden." Xia Cheng pursed her lips and lowered her voice. "The person who kidnapped me knew my parents."
"Huh? Do you know your parents' names, or have they met before? Kidnapped them and then blackmailed them?"
"Probably not." Xia Cheng slowly told what happened that night.
In the air-conditioned room, after listening to this, Chen Kelin felt her whole body gradually getting cold and her toes became cold.
"That An Wuyu wants you to kill your own father with your own hands? He's really perverted. No wonder he killed several people in a row while driving a taxi!"
"He also killed someone else!?"
Xia Cheng was stunned. "Why?"
Chen Kelin shook her head.
"I don't know. Didn't the police tell you anything? They should come looking for you."

On the same day, Xia Cheng was transferred to Lin Minghe's family's private hospital. Half an hour after entering the hospital, the police appeared in Xia Cheng's ward.
Two policemen came, one asked questions and the other took notes. They mainly asked about what happened on the night Xia Cheng was kidnapped. Xia Cheng did not tell the police about An Wu Yu's relationship with Xun's parents, and only asked the police at the end.
"Has he kidnapped anyone else?"
The police nodded.
"Including you, three women have been killed. The first two are dead."
"Why did he kill people?"
"After examination, it was found that An Wuyu suffered from mental illness, and we police were unable to find out the specific reason why he killed people."
After sending the police away, Xia Cheng fell silent.
Lin Minghe comforted Xia Cheng.
"It's okay. The person has been arrested and won't come out to harm anyone again."
Xia Cheng smiled bitterly. She was not worried about being killed again, but because if An Wu Yu was a mental patient, then the authenticity of everything he said about his mother would be reduced.
Wan Lu sat on the sofa and was the first to break the silence.
"Xia Cheng, let's add a contact number."
Lin Minghe then remembered that there was such a person here, and stopped him in a bad mood.
"I haven't asked yet, who are you and why are you following Xia Cheng?!"
"Hello, I'm Wan Lu, the CEO of Bess Group, and I'm also Xia Cheng's suitor."
Wan Lu handed over his business card. Although Lin Minghe didn't want it, he politely took it and put it in his pocket.
"Are you pursuing Xia Cheng? Why haven't I heard of you before? Are you new here and want to cut in line? There's no number left here, so find someone else to pursue!"
Wan Lu looked at Xia Cheng helplessly.
Xia Cheng was so upset that she separated the two of them. If Lin Minghe kept talking, he would tell her all the little secrets.
"Um, Minghe... Can you wait for me outside if I can talk to Wanlu alone?"
"Talk to him! Alone!?" Lin Minghe's eyebrows drooped. "What about me?"
"After I finish talking to Wanlu, I'll talk to you, okay? It's also private."
"Okay." Lin Minghe walked away briskly like a big wolfdog that put away its fangs in front of its master. When passing by Wan Lu, he did not forget to glance at him.
Wan Lu was shocked and sat down on the chair in front of the bed.
"Your suitor is truly...interesting..."
“It’s quite cute.”
Xia Cheng changed the subject and asked sharply.
"You're quite interesting. We haven't seen each other for two years, and you immediately say you like me. Is there anything about me that's valuable to you?"
"If I were truly dealing with a woman for commercial or other reasons, I'd never see you again in my life." Wan Lu crossed his legs, tapping his toes with pleasure, his gaze deepening. "It's truly heartbreaking that you think of me like this."
Xia Cheng tightened his chest and spoke in a deep voice.
"I don't believe you came back to chase me."
"Love is a very simple thing. You think it is too complicated." Wan Lu felt helpless.
"But it doesn't matter. There's a long way to go. Although my stay in Hai City is short, I will spend this time with you and make sure you believe my sincerity."
