After Shang Wu left, everyone was in a panic, all crowding around Lu Zheng.
Before they could even speak, Lu Zheng said unhurriedly, "Don't worry, do you think I'll let her control you? She'll have to sign the contract obediently very soon."
He looked at Qianjue and raised an eyebrow.
Qianjue nodded and went out to make a phone call.
"Keep a close eye on the young master, don't let him wake up."
Meanwhile, the Yu family.
The curtains were drawn in the room on the second floor of the villa, and the soft white noise of a campfire filled the room, while the dim bedside lamp was on.
The scent emanating from the humidifier is Shang Wu's most frequently used perfume.
Everything was just right.
Lu Rang lay quietly on the bed, his face solemn and handsome.
The doctor came in with the phone and glanced at it.
"Okay, I understand. I won't let the young master wake up."
"Yes, he's sleeping soundly now. I'll give him another injection in two hours."
He breathed a sigh of relief after hanging up the phone, walked to the bedside to check Lu Rang's heartbeat and pulse rate, and then opened the door to go out.
The moment the door closed, Lu Rang's fingertips twitched slightly, and he slowly opened his eyes.
He sat up, walked to the window, and lifted a small gap in the curtains.
Bodyguards were patrolling outside, eight of them on high alert, especially at the first-floor window of his room, where three bodyguards were stationed.
Lu Rang's gaze darkened. He opened the curtains, walked to the bedside, and took out the anesthetic injection from under the pillow.
He glanced at the time, lay back down on the bed, clutched the injection in his hand, closed his eyes, and continued to sleep.
...
Time passed by, second by second.
Each side has its own agenda.
Shang Wu was resting with his eyes closed in his car outside the dock.
Aying took out the medicine from the first-aid kit and opened the bottle of mineral water as well.
"Miss, here's some cold medicine. Take it; even if it doesn't relieve your low-grade fever, it might make you feel a little better."
Shang Wu shook her head: "I won't eat, so I don't feel sleepy."
Aying sighed when she saw that her face was completely pale.
“I don’t think Lu Zheng will let you off the hook. You’ve tricked him like this. Even if he returns Lu Lu to you, he will continue to cause trouble in the future.”
Shang Wu paused for a moment: "I know, but I have to get Lu Rang out first. It's not good for him to keep sleeping on medication all the time. It will affect his brain. I don't want anything to happen to him again."
Besides, if Lu Rang were to wake up unexpectedly and find out that they weren't engaged, everything would have changed, and there's no guarantee that his previous mental illness wouldn't be triggered again.
Ah Ying understood her good intentions and was about to speak when her phone suddenly rang.
"Who is this...?"
She muttered something and answered the unfamiliar number.
Even though Aying didn't turn on speakerphone, the voice on the phone was still very clear in the car.
"Where are you?"
Upon hearing this voice, Shang Wu immediately opened her eyes.
Ah Ying paused, frowned, and said rudely, "Ma'am, who are you? Did you dial the wrong number?"
"I am Shang Yunshen's mother. Where are you now?" Ruan Yuzhi asked patiently.
Aying paused for a moment, then looked at Shang Wu.
Shang Wu shook his head.
Ah Ying swallowed hard, her tone becoming respectful: "Oh, so you're President Shang's mother. I'm sorry for the intrusion. Um, I'm out on business right now. Is there anything I can do for you?"
There was a two-second silence on the phone before a disdainful sneer rang out.
"Get back here with the Shang Group's bodyguards! Who told you to work for a nobody? Don't forget, your job and salary come from the Shang Group. You want to lose this job, don't you!"
Ah Ying's expression changed.
Shang Wu pursed her lips, took the phone directly, and said coldly, "I arranged for the bodyguard to come in. I paid him for six months' wages when I signed the contract. Logically speaking, he is my bodyguard, not Shang's!"
"Oh."
Ruan Yuzhi sneered: "You're incorrigible, insisting on getting involved in the Yu family's affairs. It seems that severing ties with you was the right decision!"
Shang Wu gripped her phone tightly, her heart sinking. "The bodyguard won't be returned to you."
"Let's see if they still want to sign a long-term contract with the Shang family and keep their jobs."
After saying that, Ruan Yuzhi hung up the phone.
The carriage fell silent. Shang Wu's breathing quickened, and her face grew even more pale.
Aying looked at her, not knowing what to say for a moment.
"Miss, do you still need bodyguards?"
Shang Wu nodded: "I'm afraid Lu Zheng won't compromise easily and will still try to deal with me. He was too calm today. I suspect that Lu Rang is still in his hands. He's just putting on an act to buy time and arrange for a few people to be on standby."
Aying gritted her teeth, anxious for her: "Now Madam insists I take bodyguards back with me, what are you going to do?"
"I'll keep an eye on it myself. I'll ask Tang Xueli if she can lend me a few people." Shang Wu didn't want to cause her to lose her job. "You can go back now."
Ah Ying hesitated, but seeing her haggard expression, she could only nod.
"I'll drive another car back, miss. You can rest in my car, and please be careful."
Shang Wu smiled and watched her get into the bodyguard's car and leave before taking out her phone to call Tang Xueli.
"Shirley, could you lend me a few bodyguards?"
After listening, Tang Xueli took a deep breath and said with difficulty, "I may not be able to lend it to you. The Yu family is watching. If I offend them because of this, I'm afraid..."
"clear."
Shang Wu didn't hold out any hope, expressed her understanding, and hung up the phone.
She forced herself to stay alert and waited quietly for news.
Gradually, evening fell.
Shang Wu nodded sharply, suddenly waking up. Seeing the sky outside and the time on her phone, her heart sank heavily, filled with regret.
