Chapter 116 Zhou Yanci's Hiding Place
There was a moment of silence on the phone.
Qianjue thought Shang Wu was greatly discouraged and snorted, "Take it easy. The young master has already done you a great blessing by exonerating the Shang family. Do you really think you can climb the social ladder to the Yu family? Save your breath."
After that, Shang Wu finally spoke: "You mean, Lu Rang is currently in Wanhu?"
"certainly."
"Okay, I understand."
Shang Wu hung up the phone, her beautiful eyes slightly narrowed, lost in thought.
Behind her, Ah Ying hurried over.
Now, Chengzhou is going to advance the business of merchants. Aying is helping Shang Yunshen revitalize the Shang Group and is extremely busy.
She had just taken some time to deal with Xiao Dong's situation.
"Mr. Shang, Xiao Dong has been imprisoned."
Shang Wu nodded slightly: "Have you arranged the treatment for his mother?"
“It’s all arranged.” A-Ying said, then pursed her lips. “If you ask me, we shouldn’t have made any more arrangements for his mother. Now he’s in jail for harboring a fugitive, isn’t that what he brought on himself? He’ll only realize the seriousness of the situation when no one is taking care of his mother.”
Shang Wu pursed her lips: "Forget it, let him go to jail and pay the price he deserves. As for his mother, let's keep an eye on her a little."
Aying nodded: "Okay, by the way, the security system here at Chengzhou was installed by that scumbag back then, should we replace it all?"
Shang Wu curled her lips into a smile.
Ever since Zhou Yanci's deeds were exposed, Aying has become too lazy to even call him by name.
Shang Wu said calmly, "Yes, replace them all. Go and make the arrangements. All security guards and bodyguards should be replaced with new people."
She finished arranging things at the company and left directly.
Soon, a new batch of bodyguards arrived.
When Aying was counting heads, she saw a man in the last row corner wearing a mask and asked in confusion, "Why aren't you showing your face?"
The bodyguard next to him explained, "He has burns on his face, so he's been wearing a mask to avoid scaring people."
Before A-Ying could speak, the bodyguard laughed again, revealing a set of healthy white teeth: "Beautiful secretary, please have mercy and let him stay here too. He hasn't been able to find a job since his burns, and now that you've rejected him, he doesn't even have money for food."
Aying raised an eyebrow, and remembering that these bodyguards were all registered, she simply nodded in agreement.
"Never mind, let him stay."
She closed the list and turned to leave.
After everyone left, the bodyguards all went to report to the security department.
The man wearing a mask and the bodyguard who had just explained things to him walked at the very back, their steps very slow.
Once he was sure the people in front were far enough away and couldn't hear him anymore, the bodyguard breathed a sigh of relief: "Mr. Zhou, I was so scared just now. I thought you were going to be recognized."
Beyond the mask were a pair of narrow, gloomy eyes.
Zhou Yanci narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice, "She probably never imagined that I didn't flee from justice at all, but stayed by her side as her company's bodyguard."
“But Mr. Zhou, Chengzhou has now merged into Shangjia, and the shareholders have redistributed their shares. They are now completely aligned with Shangwu. Even if you manage to sneak in, what can you do?” The bodyguard looked at Zhou Yanci with a puzzled expression.
Zhou Yanci took a deep breath and patted his shoulder: "Acheng, you're overthinking it. I have no intention of taking shares from Shang Wu."
Acheng was stunned: "Then you are..."
"I need to wait for the right moment to make her understand that what I did back then was only out of necessity to secure my position as heir. While I did use her initially, I genuinely loved her, and I'll wait until the necessary moment..."
Zhou Yanci narrowed his eyes: "I want to have her."
Acheng felt that he was no longer normal, but he had been following Zhou Yanci and receiving his salary for ten years, and was loyal to the Zhou family.
He could only say tactfully, "You are a criminal who has fled to avoid punishment. If you show your face, you'll be gone in a second. Even if Shang Wu still likes you and is willing to be with you, you will still go to prison."
"No, once Shang Wu falls in love with me again, she can persuade her family to reconcile with me. At most, she'll only be in jail for two or three years before she gets out."
"I won't stand by and watch her be with Lu Rang."
“That man is just a gigolo who lives off women. What good is being a lawyer? I can’t let Shang Wu use my assets to marry him and split them with him.”
"Only if Lu Rang can be as unapproachable as the young master of the Yu family will I willingly admit defeat."
After saying this, Zhou Yanci entered the security department without looking back.
...
Dingfeng Law Firm.
When Shang Wu arrived, it had already been officially announced online that the merchant would be engaging in in-depth cooperation with Dingfeng.
With this powerful and influential investor by their side, everyone at Dingfeng was not worried about sales targets and even had extra income; they were all grinning from ear to ear.
All the staff of Dingfeng Law Firm were at the door to greet them.
Shang Wu symbolically greeted them and then dragged Yan Yue out.
"Could you get in touch with Lu Rang, or ask Qian Jue about his current situation?"
Yan Yue was taken aback, then shrugged: "I was sent by Mr. Lu to keep an eye on Lu Rang. Now that my mission is over, I can no longer contact Wanhu."
Shang Wu persuaded, "Give it a try."
Yan Yue said helplessly, "It really won't work, Qianjue won't listen to me."
Shang Wu crossed her arms and raised an eyebrow: "I can't contact Lu Rang right now and I don't know his specific situation. No matter what it takes, you have to help me find out, or you'll have to leave Dingfeng."
"No, this is too much..."
Before Yan Yue could finish his accusation, he suddenly realized something was wrong: "Wait a minute, I'm not working under you, you have no right to fire me."
Shang Wu took out her phone, put it on speakerphone, and called the head of the law firm.
"Fire someone for me."
Yan Yue was stunned for a moment, then heard the law firm director's obsequious voice: "Yes, President Shang, if you don't like anyone, just say so, and I can make him get out of the company immediately."
Upon hearing this, Yan Yue was completely dumbfounded.
Before Shang Wu could speak, he interrupted, "I'll call her! I'll call Qian Jue right now, please, sister, don't do this."
Shang Wu smiled and said, "No need, Director. I won't disturb your work."
After saying that, she hung up the phone, raised an eyebrow at Yan Yue, and said, "I'm qualified to have you do things for me now, aren't I?"
Yan Yue was sweating profusely and quickly took out his phone: "I'll call right now..."
Shang Wu crossed her arms leisurely and said calmly, "Tell Qian Jue that Lu Rang's wallet is here. Find a way to get him to agree to send it over to you."
Yan Yue nodded and dialed the phone with trembling fingers.
The call was answered shortly after, and Qianjue's voice came through: "Hello, what's up?"
Yan Yue cleared his throat, trying to make his tone sound very natural: "We were just cleaning up the law firm and found that Attorney Lu left a lot of his identification documents and a wallet here."
"Yeah?"
Qianjue paused for two seconds, then said calmly, "Then just leave it in one place, and I'll have someone go and get it."
"I'll still deliver it to you. After all, this thing is quite valuable, and it wouldn't be good if it got lost."
Yan Yue chuckled twice and said ingratiatingly, "Besides, I haven't said goodbye to Attorney Lu yet. Now that he's left, he can never come back to work at the law firm again. I miss him a little."
After hearing his words, Qianjue gave a light snort: "You two seem to have a good relationship. I'll arrange for you to come over. Wait for my news."
Yan Yue smiled and agreed. After hanging up the phone, he cautiously looked at Shang Wu.
"It seems like I'll have to go alone."
Shang Wu said calmly, "Take me with you."
Yan Yue's eyes widened: "How are we supposed to bring them? He's sending people, and when they see there are two of us, they definitely won't let you pass."
"I hid it in the trunk."
Shang Wu's casual remark startled Yan Yue so much that his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
"You hid it in the trunk? That must be so hot! You're really pushing yourself!"
Shang Wu didn't say anything, just waved her phone: "Keep in touch."
After saying that, she turned and left.
She wasn't afraid of the heat or the trouble; all she wanted was to see Lu Rang and find out what was going on herself.
If Lu Rang wants to go through with the marriage alliance, she will not stop him.
But if Lu Zheng forces her, she will do whatever it takes to win her man back.
...
The next morning, Yan Yue called Shang Wu.
"Their people are waiting to pick me up near Wanhu Lake."
Shang Wu rolled out of bed: "Drive over and pick me up."
She hung up, went to the closet to find a sweatshirt set that was easy to move in, changed into sneakers, tied her hair up, put her phone on silent, and then pushed open the door and went downstairs.
Downstairs, Shang Yunshen was discussing the next steps for rebuilding the company with Shang Lingfei.
Seeing that Shang Wu looked like she was going to participate in the sports meet, the two of them were stunned.
Where are you going?
Shang Wu smiled and said, "I..."
Before he could finish speaking, a car pulled up in front of the door.
Yan Yue saw that the door was open and went straight in. He was startled to see that there were other people besides Shang Wu there and stood at attention.
Hello.
Shang Lingfei asked in confusion, "You are..."
"He's my friend, he's picking me up to take care of something."
Shang Wu walked over and introduced Yan Yue: "This is my father, Dad. This is Attorney Yan Yue, a member of Dingfeng Law Firm. In the future, he will be working closely with our legal department."
Shang Yun Shen stood up and shook hands with Yan Yue: "Yes, my case was handled by Attorney Yan. I hope you will give me more guidance in the future."
"You're too kind, you're too kind."
Yan Yue shook hands with him, then turned and bowed to Shang Lingfei in greeting.
Shang Lingfei smiled and nodded at him, "Go ahead."
Shang Wu and Yan Yue went out together.
Shang Lingfei watched them leave and said with satisfaction, "Look at this lawyer Yan, he's so handsome. Awu's boyfriend must be similar to him, or even more outstanding, right?"
"She is indeed quite excellent, but..."
Shang Yunshen paused for a moment: "Mother might not approve of them being together."
Shang Lingfei asked, puzzled, "Why?"
Shang Yunshen smiled and said, "I don't know how to explain it. You'll find out later."
Outside.
The car was driven to a secluded road with few people before it stopped.
After Shang Wu got out of the car, he opened the trunk.
It has soft cushions inside, and they even sprayed some perfume on it.
She glanced at Yan Yue: "He's quite thoughtful."
"That's right, Wanhu Lake is quite far from here."
Yan Yue looked around and suddenly felt like a villain who had kidnapped and murdered people: "Hurry up, or someone will see us."
Shang Wu lay down diagonally into the trunk, where the space was just enough to accommodate her.
She gave Yan Yue an OK sign.
Yan Yue closed the trunk, walked around to the front, and drove to his destination.
When he arrived at the location Qianjue had sent him, he saw two men in black waiting for him.
The two men walked over and knocked on the car window.
"Get off the bus. We need to search you and the vehicle. Only those who are not carrying dangerous items are allowed to enter Wanhu."
Yan Yue and Shang Wu paused at the same time.
