Exhausted and overwhelmed, she couldn't stay awake and fell asleep.
Even after just two hours of sleep, she couldn't breathe properly and felt anxious, as if she couldn't control the situation.
Shang Wu pushed open the car door and got out.
A cold wind blew, clearing her mind. Still unable to let go of her worries, she returned to the dock.
The delegations from those companies are still waiting in the meeting room.
Some people couldn't sit still and paced back and forth, some slumped in their seats waiting for news, and some were still on the phone.
Lu Zheng is here, but Qian Jue is not.
Shang Wu took out her phone and called Qian Jue, but the call was hung up.
She pushed open the door and went inside.
Everyone immediately stood up and looked at her.
Shang Wu ignored everyone else and looked directly at Lu Zheng.
Where is Kindred now? Where is he?
Lu Zheng looked tired and rubbed his temples: "Didn't you want to see Lu Rang before you'd give up? He's looking for someone with his bodyguards right now."
Shang Wu narrowed her eyes: "Call him and ask how the search is going. Don't say anything else."
Lu Zheng paused, then said unhappily, "So many companies are waiting for an explanation. If you don't resolve the issue with the goods, you expect the Yu family to compensate you. Do you think I'll let you down in something like this?"
"I don't trust you, understand?" Shang Wu stepped forward and stared intently at him. "From the day of the engagement banquet until now, I will never trust you again. Make the call now, or I won't sign this contract."
After hearing this, everyone hesitated to speak, staring expectantly at Lu Zheng.
Seeing the others' silent urging, Lu Zheng had no choice but to take out his phone and make a call.
Before he could even speak, Qianjue said, "Sir, the matter has been taken care of."
Shang Wu stepped forward, raised her eyebrows, and gestured for Lu Zheng to speak as she had instructed.
Lu Zheng took a deep breath and said calmly, "How's the search going?"
Qianjue said, "I only told you it was done after I found it. We are on our way now and will be there in about half an hour."
Shang Wu's brow twitched.
Half an hour?
We'll see Lu Rang in half an hour.
Despite all the trouble she had gone through—only a day and a night—it felt like half a century had passed.
If she hadn't accidentally fallen asleep for two hours in the car, she wouldn't even have the strength to speak right now.
Even so, Shang Wu hadn't eaten for a long time, and his words were barely audible.
She sat at the table, her forehead covered in a layer of cold sweat.
Seeing this, someone nearby handed her a cup of tea.
Shang Wu thanked him, drank the tea, and continued to wait.
Half an hour later, Qianjue knocked on the door.
"The person has been brought."
Lu Zheng smiled with satisfaction and stood up: "Miss Shang, let's go confirm this."
Shang Wu looked up and saw his calm and composed demeanor, and her heart tightened slightly.
wrong.
Lu Zheng arranged for her to meet Lu Rang, so it's impossible for him to act indifferent.
She seemed lost in thought, keeping all her guesses to herself, and got up to go to the next room with Lu Zheng and Qian Jue.
Qianjue made a gesture.
"please."
Shang Wu walked over, held her breath, and pushed the door open.
The next second, upon seeing the people inside the room, she was completely stunned.
It wasn't Lu Rang.
It was Shang Yunshen and Ruan Yuzhi.
They were all tied to chairs at that moment.
Shang Wu twitched her fingertips, turned around, and looked at Lu Zheng expressionlessly.
"This is the person you found for me? Lu Zheng, didn't I tell you? I won't sign without seeing Lu Rang."
Lu Zheng laughed: "You have to sign, otherwise I guarantee I'll make them pay the price. You don't want to implicate them, you don't want them to get hurt, right?"
Ruan Yuzhi looked at them coldly: "Shang Wu, look at the trouble you've brought to the family! If something had happened to your brother and me today, would you still be able to be with Lu Rang with a clear conscience!"
Shang Wu's eyes flickered, and she clenched her fists tightly.
She glanced at Ruan Yuzhi with no expression.
What will happen to them if I don't sign the contract?
Lu Zheng thought about it seriously.
“If you don’t sign the contract, it means the Yu family will have to pay more than 200 million yuan in breach of contract fees. When the Yu family elders are furious, I don’t know what price your brother and the others will have to pay for it.”
He turned around and looked at Shang Wu with a half-smile.
"What do you suggest we do about this? Are you going to sign the contract, or just watch them get taken away?"
Shang Wu pursed her lips, unable to utter a single word.
She couldn't help but look at Shang Yun Shen.
Shang Yunshen had no idea what was going on. He said solemnly, "No matter what, I'm on your side. But Mother is getting old and we have to send her away. She has heart problems and can't be put through any more trouble."
The implication was that Shang Wu should compromise.
But Shangwu did not move.
This was the only bargaining chip she had that could check and balance Lu Zheng.
If we really compromise, it will not only mean that everything we did today will be in vain, but we will also not be able to see Lu Rang.
This also means she will fall into an abyss.
No money, no company, no backers, anyone can come and kick me.
She didn't even know how she died in Lincheng.
