Chapter 176 Disappeared
Where are they?
Shang Wu panicked and took out her phone to call Lu Rang.
The call went through, but no one answered.
Shang Wu sensed something was wrong, so she quickly got dressed and went out, just in time to see Lu Rang driving away.
Where is Lu Rang going if he doesn't answer the phone in the middle of the night?
When Shang Wu tried to chase after him in her car, it was too late. Lu Rang was driving very fast and soon disappeared at the intersection, and it was impossible to tell which direction he was going.
Fearing something might happen, Shang Wu called the company's bodyguard team and asked them to come and keep an eye on things as soon as possible.
She took out her phone and sent a message to Lu Rang.
What's wrong? If you have something on your mind or something that's making you unhappy, you can tell me.
Or is it because seeing me reminds you of what business people do? If that's the case, you can tell me, and I'll give you a few days to cool off.
No matter what messages she sent, Lu Rang did not reply.
Shang Wu frowned, sensing something was wrong. Even if Lu Rang was bothered by this matter and couldn't accept her, he would still talk to her properly.
Leaving without a word like this is not in Lu Rang's character.
Or did something happen to him?
Shang Wu grew increasingly anxious.
She didn't know where Lu Rang was driving to in the middle of the night, so she could only follow him on the streets, searching aimlessly.
Soon, the bodyguards reported that Lu Rang had driven to the Yu family's house alone.
When Shang Wu received the message in the car, she pulled over to the side of the road.
She wasn't so worried anymore.
If Lu Rang went to the Yu family, it means that at least he won't run into any trouble.
This period has been incredibly chaotic.
Lu Rang is under so much pressure and has no way to vent it. Perhaps letting him calm down will make him feel better.
Shang Wu changed direction and dialed the number of the bodyguard captain.
"Then you can all go back to your shifts, you don't need to follow me anymore."
After hanging up the phone, Shang Wu went home alone and tossed and turned all night, unable to fall asleep.
When she arrived at the company early in the morning with dark circles under her eyes, the first thing she asked Ah Ying was, "Can you help me make an appointment with a plastic surgeon?"
Ah Ying was having breakfast with a piece of bread in her mouth when she heard this and was so shocked that she closed her teeth, and the bread fell to the ground.
With a sorrowful expression, she picked up the sacrificed breakfast.
"Mr. Shang, I'm worried about your mental state. Can you please stop saying things like that to scare me? What plastic surgeon? You're naturally beautiful and don't need any plastic surgery at all, okay?"
“When Lu Rang sees my face, he’ll be reminded of the past. How do you think he can possibly get over that?”
Shang Wu appeared very calm on the surface, but she was actually very upset inside.
In the past, no matter what happened, they always solved it themselves, and the problems were always external.
Even if Lu Rang had psychological trauma in the past, he was willing to overcome difficulties for his own sake.
But when all the truth is revealed, Lu Rang discovers that the mother of the person he wanted to spend his life with is actually the beginning of his tragic life. How could he possibly accept that?
If it were her, she wouldn't be able to face Lu Rang calmly after knowing everything.
Lu Rang's psychological trauma has been resolved, but after recovering from her illness, she has become another nightmare that Lu Rang needs to overcome.
Is there any need for her to be by Lu Rang's side then?
To Lu Rang, she was just like Lu Zheng in the past.
It's the person who needs to be completely removed from his life.
Shang Wu felt increasingly uneasy as she thought about it, and took a deep breath.
"Send someone to the Yu family to inquire about what exactly happened with Lu Rang. I need to take care of my work now. Report back to me as soon as you have any information."
Aying nodded vigorously, watching her leave, and then, as instructed by the woman, kept a close eye on the Yu family's every move.
Two days have passed.
Shang Wu was always preoccupied and uneasy.
There has been no news from Lu Rang for a long time.
On the afternoon of the third day, when Shang Wu was about to leave work, she received a call from Qian Jue.
Without hesitation, she answered the call immediately.
The reason the other party called her at this time was definitely because of Lu Rang.
As soon as she answered the call, Qianjue said, "Come over to Wanhu, I have something to tell you."
Shang Wu frowned slightly upon hearing his solemn tone.
Lu Rang broke Qian Jue's leg because of her last time, leaving Qian Jue with a lingering injury, and she still walks with a limp.
The two of them have essentially broken off relations.
The fact that Qianjue is calling her now, while she's still at the Yu family's house, suggests only two possibilities.
First, Lu Rang and Qian Jue have reconciled.
Secondly, something happened to Lu Rang, and the Yu family's bodyguards are leaderless and unable to handle the situation. Only Qian Jue can resolve it.
Shang Wu felt a sudden pang of panic and agreed without hesitation.
"Okay, I'll head over there right now."
Shang Wu hung up the phone, hurriedly got into her car and left. On the way to the Yu family's house, she was on tenterhooks and absent-minded.
She didn't know what was going to happen.
As the car drove by, there were people waiting at the entrance to Wanhu Lake.
There was no one else around Qianjue; she stood there all alone.
Upon seeing Shang Wu, he walked over without hesitation, opened the passenger door, and got in.
Qianjue glanced at her.
"Let's drive."
Shang Wu stepped on the gas and glanced at his expression.
It was very serious, as if something major had happened.
She felt inexplicably uneasy and asked in a low voice, "Has something happened to Lu Rang? Don't hide anything from me, tell me now."
Upon hearing this, Qianjue frowned slightly and clenched his fists.
"In your eyes, Mr. may be a bad person, a villain who broke you up and didn't want you to live happily together, but I can tell you that even if Mr. hates you, the businessmen, his judgment on your relationship is objective and accurate. You can't help but believe him."
“He said long ago that you and the young master were not a good match, but you just wouldn’t listen. Now the young master is showing those symptoms that preceded his illness because of you, and he’s locked himself in the villa where his mother used to live, refusing to eat or drink.”
Are you satisfied now?
Shang Wu's heart clenched instantly.
She bit her lip.
"You mean, he's showing symptoms of a relapse?"
"Yes, we've already brought in a psychologist for intervention, but he refuses to communicate with the psychologist, and his condition is exactly the same as when he was about to have an attack as a child. I'd like to ask you, do you know what he's been through these past few days to become like this?"
Qianjue looked coldly at Shangwu, ready to question her.
Shang Wu frowned, trying hard to recall.
She hesitated, "If I'm not mistaken, it's because of my appearance, right? Seeing me reminds him of his mother's death, so..."
"Wrong, terribly wrong!" Qianjue interrupted her, unable to bear it any longer.
"His feelings for you are enough to make him endure all this. The grudges of the previous generation will not easily become his shackles. You probably don't know what your brother did under your guise!"
Qianjue's tone was terrifyingly cold.
At this moment, he is the older brother who feels sorry for his younger brother.
Shang Wu's breathing hitched slightly as she suddenly realized something.
She remembered what Shang Yunshen had said when he came to see her.
Shang Yunshen kept saying that his mother's heart condition was quite serious and that they needed to see a specialist.
She refused outright, unwilling to help, and even threw out provocative and impatient words, telling him to go talk to Lu Rang about it if he dared.
Did he really go to find Lu Rang?
It was only in her name.
Shang Wu couldn't help but grip the steering wheel tightly, his palms starting to sweat.
"Stop beating around the bush and explain yourself clearly. What did Shang Yun Shen do?"
Qianjue sneered, "He went to Lu Rang in private and said that you were worried about Ruan Yuzhi's heart condition, but because of what Lu Rang had experienced, you were embarrassed to bring it up directly, so you asked Shang Yunshen to go and explain it to you, and asked him to give the expert's contact information to Shang Jia again."
A look of disbelief and astonishment flashed across Shang Wu's eyes.
"That Lu Rang..."
Before she could finish speaking, she suddenly stopped.
Yes, she remembered.
After Shang Yun Shen came to see her that day, Lu Rang appeared again and asked her if she still cared about the Shang family.
She actually said that her relationship with Shang Yunshen was one of the better ones among the Shang family members.
So, from that time on, Lu Rang mistakenly thought that she was still thinking about the other business owners?
Shang Wu could hardly imagine how much Lu Rang must have felt after hearing her answer.
On one hand, there is the death of his mother; on the other hand, there is the pain of being unable to take revenge.
His fiancée, who was originally the person in the world who understood his pain the most, seemed to want to ask him to save his enemy.
Shang Wu's hands trembled.
"Did anything else happen?"
She always felt that it wasn't just this one thing.
Something must have happened before Lu Rang suddenly stormed out that night.
Qianjue snorted coldly.
"There are other things you probably don't know. After that, Shang Yun Shen said that you couldn't let go of him because you hadn't settled down yet, so you contacted Lu Rang and called him to ask him to help introduce you to Zuo Qingxue, the daughter of the Zuo family. You used you as an excuse again."
“I saw this on Lu Rang’s phone, and also in the diary he wrote when he was withdrawn. Shang Wu, do you know how much pain and hardship he was going through? Do you know how difficult it was for him!”
"Not only can you not take revenge, but you also have to help your enemy's son find a partner. He is burdened by the truth of his mother's death, and being with you is already extremely painful and difficult for him. Yet your family is still bothering him!"
“Those aren’t my family.” Shang Wu interrupted him without hesitation, yet felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
Yes, those aren't her family.
But her words don't count, and what's ingrained in her bones can't be changed.
The resemblance in appearance and the blood relationship cannot erase the fact that she is the daughter born to Ruan Yuzhi.
They are business people.
Lu Rang's desire to be with her is tantamount to asking him to forget the grudges stemming from his mother's past depression and his father's bankruptcy.
This is practically murdering his filial piety and family affection towards his parents.
This is completely unfair to him.
