Chapter 102 He willingly bowed and scraped before her
Shang Wu didn't want to stay in the hospital, mainly because she didn't want to be too close to the person next door.
She was discharged from the hospital on the third day and returned to Chengzhou Group.
Xiao Dong returned from the hospital and knocked on the office door.
"President Shang, I just received some news about the Sleeping One."
Shang Wu paused her typing, looked at him, and vaguely guessed: "You didn't escape?"
Xiao Dong shrugged: "Yes, Chen Mian was too greedy. She took your bank card and then wanted to take Mr. Zhou's money. When she urged him to transfer the money, the bodyguard team located her via satellite and arrested her."
Shang Wu narrowed her eyes slightly and remained silent.
Seeing that she remained silent, Xiao Dong continued, "Mr. Zhou's bodyguard team consists of top-tier bodyguards he hired at high prices. They are very quick to arrest people. I'm sorry, I couldn't look after Chen Mian."
"No need to look after her, lest Zhou Yanci discover that you are interfering."
Shang Wu leaned back in her seat, thinking about the tragic state Shen Mian was in when she finally left, and suddenly remembered the first time she met Shen Mian.
Listening to the entanglement between Chenmian and Zhou Yanci, she believed that the two were truly in love.
Unexpectedly, in just two months, Chenmian has come to this end.
Shang Wu had experienced Zhou Yanci's methods many times, but she still felt a chill run down her spine.
This man is exceptionally ruthless and sinister.
She was lost in thought when her phone suddenly rang.
Seeing the caller ID on the desktop, Xiao Dong smiled and tactfully turned and left.
After everyone left, Shang Wu answered the phone: "Lu Rang."
"Why aren't you in the ward?" Lu Rang asked in a low voice.
Shang Wu coughed lightly, feeling a little guilty, and subconsciously pressed her hand against the wound on her thigh.
Even through the pants and gauze, she still felt a slight pain when she touched it.
"I'm here in Chengzhou, and I have several projects to sign today. As the boss, I can't be absent."
Lu Rang paused for two seconds, then said solemnly, "Your legs can't walk too much, and you definitely can't wear high heels. What are you wearing today?"
Shang Wu lowered his head and swung his left foot.
To show respect when meeting with the project team, she wore a formal business suit with seven-centimeter high heels today.
Shang Wu replied naturally, "I'm wearing flat shoes."
Lu Rang didn't believe it: "Really?"
"Really!" Shang Wu lied with a straight face.
Lu Rang then asked, "How much longer until your meeting?"
"Half an hour later."
"good."
The call ended.
Shang Wu held her phone and raised an eyebrow.
He's dead already? You believe him?
A flicker of surprise crossed her eyes, but she didn't pay it any mind and continued processing the documents.
Twenty minutes later, Shang Wu suddenly raised her head.
wrong!
She immediately picked up the landline on the table and called Aying.
"Ah Ying, quickly bring up my flat shoes from the car, right now!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than the office door was pushed open.
Shang Wu stared in astonishment at the man who entered, realizing the situation was dire.
Feeling guilty, she tried to stand up, holding onto the corner of the table.
"Don't move."
Lu gave a command, his gaze falling on her feet.
Shang Wu felt her legs go numb for a moment, but she stood up and remained calm: "I just changed into high heels. The team I'm working with will be here soon, so..."
"I said, don't move."
Lu interrupted her, but his voice was very soft.
Shang Wu had no choice but to sit back down in her seat, her legs together, feeling somewhat uncomfortable.
Lu Rang approached, bent down and pressed down on the table, trapping her between himself and the desk.
"How many times have I told you?" he asked, his voice soft yet dangerous, "Don't lie to me."
Shang Wu swallowed hard, feeling even more guilty under his control: "No, really no..."
"Take off your shoes."
Lu Rang gave the order.
Shang Wu blinked, and subconsciously kicked off the shoe on her other foot with her toe.
Lu Rang's gaze darkened. He knelt down on one knee, took her other foot in his hand, took off her shoe, and gently pressed his thumb against her ankle.
Shang Wu suddenly felt that her entire leg was no longer so tense.
Just then, there was a knock on the office door.
Aying came in carrying sneakers: "President Shang, I've brought the flats you wanted!"
Lu Rang raised his eyes and gave Shang Wu a slight raise of his eyebrows.
Helpless, Shang Wu avoided his gaze and honestly said, "I'll change into flat shoes, I won't wear high heels anymore. You, you get up first..."
Lu Rang didn't move, but held out his hand to A Ying: "Give me the shoes."
Aying noticed the ambiguous atmosphere between the two of them earlier than Xiao Dong, and vaguely understood what was going on.
She immediately handed the sneakers to Lu Rang and quickly left.
Lu Rang lowered his eyes and helped Shang Wu change her shoes, supporting her feet.
Shang Wu's breath hitched slightly as she looked at the man who was aloof, unapproachable, and always composed with an air of mystery, now kneeling on one knee to put shoes on her feet. Her heart began to race.
It's easy to give in.
All it takes is for Lu Rang to furrow his brow in displeasure.
Shang Wu immediately softened her voice: "I won't wear high heels anymore, not until my injury heals."
Lu Rang scoffed and stood up: "Who would believe you?"
Shang Wu grabbed his sleeve: "Then tell me, how can you make me believe me?"
Lu Rang looked at her for two seconds, then suddenly leaned down again.
Before Shang Wu could react, Lu Rang's lips pressed down on hers.
The kiss was far from gentle; it carried a punitive undertone.
Lu Rang stole Shang Wu's breath, his hands gripping the seat behind her, the veins on his arms bulging from the force.
The alarm clock on the table rang, reminding everyone that it was time to meet with the business partner.
Shang Wu blushed and pushed Lu Rang away, turning her head to avoid his kiss. Her lipstick was smeared off by him.
Her chest heaved violently as she said resentfully, "My lipstick is smudged."
Lu Rang smiled and said, "No need to touch it up, it's even redder than before."
Shang Wu glared at him reproachfully, her thigh still aching as she got up.
Lu Rang saw this, and the smile on his lips disappeared. He watched her leave with the documents and followed her out.
A meeting is in progress inside, and Xiao Dong is assisting.
Lu Rang found A Ying and said, "Keep an eye on her. Tell me immediately if she wears high heels again."
Aying blinked and teased with a smile, "Why is Attorney Lu so concerned about President Shang? Okay, okay, I'll definitely report to you as soon as possible!"
...
Over in the conference room.
After signing several cooperation agreements, Shang Wu's legs were so sore that he could barely walk when he came out.
She tried her best to keep her posture steady, not wanting anyone to notice anything unusual about her.
After seeing off the business partner, Shang Wu finally relaxed in the elevator, leaning against the wall, letting the weight off her injured leg.
Meanwhile, several partners had already arrived downstairs.
They were chatting and laughing about the project when suddenly a man stopped them.
"When you discuss cooperation in the future, send someone to sign the order online. Don't bother Shang Wu anymore and make her receive you in person."
The partners exchanged glances, scrutinized the landing party, and were quite displeased.
"Who do you think you are? Acting all high and mighty. What we do is none of your business."
Before he could finish speaking, Lu Rang coldly said, "What, don't you recognize this?"
He took out what he was holding.
Upon seeing the medal reflecting the sunlight, the men's expressions changed, and they nodded respectfully.
"Okay, we understand!"
"Mr. Shang is still recovering from his car accident. Starting today, we will definitely try to discuss cooperation online and will not meet in person."
Lu Rang slightly raised his eyes, gesturing for them to leave.
The group quickly ran away.
After everyone left, Lu Rang returned to the company and told Shang Wu about the Shang family case.
The investigation team is currently dismantling Lu Rang's team one by one.
Besides Zhao Yixin, the others have also been secretly summoned for questioning.
After they confessed, they were all warned not to inform Zhou Yanci.
Upon hearing this, Shang Wu smiled slightly.
Her original plan was to join forces with Chenmian to replace the bride with Chenmian at the wedding, expose Zhou Yanci's actions, and take care of Chenmian at the same time.
But now that Shen Mian has been captured, the original plan cannot be carried out.
We'll have to think of another way.
With a mocking look in her eyes, Shang Wu said, word by word, "After these people confess, I will immediately arrange a big show for Zhou Yanci. Coincidentally, my brother's evidence has also been submitted and the appeal has begun."
Lu Rang nodded slightly: "Let Yan Yue handle your appeal. He can help you resolve this matter."
Shang Wu smiled and said, "Yes, I believe he can definitely handle it for me. My brother will be free soon."
Lu Rang glanced down at her and said, "Now that you've finished these things, you should think carefully about the question you didn't answer in the office last time and give me an answer."
Before Shang Wu could react, Lu Rang had already turned and left.
Watching his figure disappear through the door, Shang Wu belatedly realized that Lu Rang was asking her if she wanted to be with him.
Her face flushed instantly, and a slight smile involuntarily appeared on her lips.
She was lost in thought when there was another knock on the office door.
After Ah Ying came in, she looked at her.
"A business partner has come downstairs and wants to meet with you."
Shang Wu frowned slightly upon hearing this: "Aside from those few partners mentioned earlier, are there no other meetings scheduled for today?"
"No, that partner seems to be quite influential. Before coming, he notified the shareholders, and the shareholders, through the board of directors, requested that you meet with this partner immediately."
Shang Wu paused for a moment.
Despite the pain in her leg, she went out with A-Ying and arrived at the reception room.
Seeing Qianjue sitting there, Shang Wu paused, utterly speechless at this persistent man.
She walked over with a cold face, impatiently saying, "What exactly do you want? Qianjue, if you keep this up, I'll call Lu Rang right now and have him get rid of you."
Qianjue looked up at her, his expression as solemn as ever.
"I'm here on the orders of the master. He asked me to pass on a few words to you and, by the way, ask if you're interested in a certain transaction."
After saying that, he handed over the document.
Shang Wu didn't look at him, staring straight at him: "Not interested, goodbye."
Qianjue laughed: "Aren't you interested in anything related to your brother?"
Shang Wu's fingertips froze, and her gaze slowly fell on the document.
