After reading the document, Shang Wu's expression remained unchanged.
She looked up and calmly stared at Qianjue: "I thought your husband was going to throw a sum of money in my face, or use my brother's situation to coerce or entice me. I didn't expect you to do things differently."
“My husband is a man of high moral character and would never do such a thing, nor would he make a deal with you without respecting you.”
Qianjue stood up and said calmly, "You can decide for yourself whether to agree or not. The master has only one request: after the merchant case is over, you and the young master should cut off all contact and sever all ties."
Shang Wu pursed her lips and remained silent.
After Qianjue left, she picked up the document and read it over and over again before calling Lu Rang directly.
“That blockhead lunatic in your family contacted me, saying that his husband can erase my brother’s prison record after he gets out, on the condition that he sever ties with you and let you go to marry him. What do you think I should do?”
She finished speaking in one breath, and it was obvious that Lu Rang was somewhat taken aback.
After a long pause, Lu Rang asked, "Why don't you just agree to him? You care about your brother so much, I thought you would agree."
Shang Wu gripped her phone tightly: "Because I'm greedy, I don't want to sever ties with you, and I want my brother's prison record erased. Lu Rang, can you resolve this?"
She was blatantly open about her thoughts.
She refused to part ways with Lu Rang.
He was her strongest support and reliable helper throughout her entire revenge plan.
It was an absolute heart-fluttering experience she had never had, even when she had completely trusted Zhou Yanci.
That's how greedy she is.
She wants the benefits from her husband, and she also wants the benefits from her family.
After a moment, Lu Rang chuckled softly on the phone: "Shang Wu, this is the first time I've seen you like this."
"Then do you hate it?" Shang Wu asked back.
Lu Rang's voice was a little hoarse: "I like it very much."
Shang Wu's heart skipped a beat; she felt embarrassed.
Lu Rang spoke again: "I'll make a deal with you too. I'll help you resolve this matter, but once the merchant case is over, you'll have to sign a contract with me."
“Okay, it’s a deal.” Shang Wu agreed without hesitation.
Lu Rang paused for a moment: "Aren't you even going to ask what kind of contract it is?"
"I won't ask any more questions. I'll sign with you. It's settled then."
Shang Wu's gaze was intense, her lips curved into a smile, and her bright eyes were full of certainty.
...
Meanwhile, in the hospital ward.
The ward was shrouded in an indescribable sense of oppression.
Zhou Yanci lay on the hospital bed, coldly watching the people being escorted over by the bodyguards.
He hadn't shaved for three days; stubble was peeking out on his chin, and his eyes looked gloomy.
Under his gaze, the man trembled: "It really is true, I saw it with my own eyes. When I passed by the president's office, I saw President Shang and Attorney Lu kissing."
The bodyguard immediately looked at Zhou Yanci, wondering what was going on.
"Mr. Zhou, it seems Miss Shang has completely changed her mind. She still refuses to break up with Lu Rang. What should we do?"
Zhou Yanci closed her eyes, rubbing the back of her hand with her fingers, and after a long while asked, "Where was Chenmian's medicine when she was captured?"
"I don't know, she wouldn't say, but it's no longer on her person."
The bodyguard couldn't help but ask, "Are we going to use this against Miss Shang?"
Zhou Yanci shifted her body slightly.
Perhaps because he had been lying in the hospital bed for so long, he didn't feel that his body was getting better and better. On the contrary, he felt tired all over, couldn't muster any energy, and even breathing was difficult.
"See where else you can get this kind of medicine. Find the doctor who is in charge of her father's regular check-ups and have him prescribe another strong dose. There will be plenty of times when Shang Wu comes begging me for help."
Zhou Yanci thought for a moment, then raised her hand again: "Don't tell Xiao Dong about this. I suspect that he's starting to side with Shang Wu now that I haven't been back to the company for a while."
"good."
The bodyguard agreed and turned to leave.
After the bodyguard left, Zhou Yanci looked gloomy and took out his phone to call Shang Wu.
As soon as the call connected, he asked in his usual tone, "Awu, why didn't you tell me you were discharged from the hospital? And why didn't you come to see me today?"
Shang Wu paused, then said in a lukewarm tone, "You know the company has a few projects to discuss. I also had the nurses at the hospital tell you about my discharge before I came here. What, didn't the nurses tell you?"
"I did get the message, but I didn't get to see you before you were discharged from the hospital, and you didn't come to see me either. I feel a bit uneasy about it." Zhou Yanci's tone was relaxed, but her expression on the other end of the phone was very gloomy.
He asked, "Where are you now? Would you like to come over and see me when you're done with your work?"
Shang Wu was a little puzzled, but said calmly, "I have a leg injury and it's inconvenient for me to walk around. Let's talk on the phone."
"No."
Zhou Yanci smiled: "I think this matter should be discussed in person, otherwise I won't feel at ease."
Shang Wu had no idea what he was up to, but reluctantly agreed, "Okay, you wait here, I'll have A Ying take me there right now."
After hanging up the phone, Shang Wu suppressed her irritation and was helped downstairs by A Ying.
Her leg pain had worsened, and she was walking with a slight limp.
Seeing this, Aying couldn't help but advise, "President Shang, is it really necessary for you to work so hard? Doing everything yourself, what if you develop a chronic leg injury?"
Shang Wu quickly warned, "Don't say such things in front of Lu Rang! My leg is fine, it's just a superficial injury, it's just that the injury was too serious and hasn't healed yet."
"Besides, how can I satisfy the shareholders if I don't personally oversee things at the company? They're watching the performance I generate for the company right now, and I have to keep them in check. At least until I resolve certain issues, I have to keep them in line."
