Chapter 96 [96] I will do it better than you.
The bodyguard asked, "What should we do? Should we go to his house and get the tape back?"
Tang An kicked him and said, "Do you have any brains? Do you think you are such a jerk? You can avoid going to jail!"
"Drive me to the hospital."
Tang An was not afraid of the recording that Li Mu took away. Li Mu was the real murderer, and the recording could not convict him. As long as he had a little bit of brains, he would not take the tape to do anything. He just wanted to check and balance him.
Tang An had no evidence and was not even the victim, so he could not file a lawsuit. If people knew he was at the scene, he would be suspected of trying to steal the money, so he was completely helpless against Li Mu.
Perhaps, we can start with Tang Yuanyuan.
This matter cannot be delayed any longer.
Li Mu returned home and put the tape into the recorder to listen to it. Tang An also recorded the entire conversation.
I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on my back. This bastard!
If he had reacted a little slower, he would have fallen into his trap.
After thinking about it, he called Tang Yuanyuan.
Shen Yu emerged from under the covers and picked up the pager on the bedside table. The words "Li Mu" flashed on the screen. He asked, "Do you want to answer it?"
Tang Yuanyuan doesn't want to answer it now.
Li Mu's phone rang again and again.
Shen Yu answered the call for her with a hidden thought in mind: "You're calling so urgently, maybe it's something urgent."
Tang Yuanyuan turned sideways and put the cell phone to her ear.
Ask: "What's the matter?"
Tang Yuanyuan's voice was a little hoarse and very soft.
Li Mu didn't understand and asked, "Has Tang An contacted you recently?"
Shen Yu then turned sideways and rested his head on her shoulder. He could easily hear Li Mu's voice. He raised his lips and traced his fingertips along her slender collarbone.
He hoped that Li Mu would find some clues now.
Tang Yuanyuan's mind was already on the matter, and she didn't notice Shen Yu's thoughts. She keenly grasped the key point: "He looked for you? What did he want to do with you?"
Li Mu didn't understand. Tang An had never contacted her. "Nothing. This grandson has realized it now and wants to find out where our funds come from."
Tang Yuanyuan: "Anyway, the nature of the Cloud Forest store has been decided now, so it doesn't matter if he finds out."
Li Mu: "I didn't say anything, let him guess first."
Tang Yuanyuan: "Nothing else, I'm hanging up."
"There's something else," Li Mu said, switching the microphone. "Tang An's grandson is quite shady right now. Be careful when you talk to him, he might be recording you."
"Got it. I'm hanging up."
"Why are you in such a hurry to hang up?" Li Mu puffed up his cheeks unhappily. "What are you doing?"
Tang Yuanyuan: "I'm busy doing exercises."
Li Mu: "Hey, what's your new rental like? When will you invite me to your house?"
Tang Yuanyuan: "Maybe in two days."
"I'm hanging up first."
There was a busy tone in the microphone. For some reason, Li Mu always felt that something was going to happen. He felt a little uneasy, but he couldn't figure out what it was.
In the morning, Tang Yuanyuan woke up first as usual. His big hands pressed on her body, his face pressed against her scalp, and his gentle breath sprayed on her face, which was a little itchy.
Tang Yuanyuan wanted to move away, but the man grabbed her with his arm and hugged her even tighter.
Shen Yu liked to hold her while sleeping, but his chest was too hot. Tang Yuanyuan often ran out in the middle of the night because of the heat, and he would pull her back in a daze.
Tang Yuanyuan lifted his arm, and the sleeping man opened his eyes and rubbed his face against her hair.
Tang Yuanyuan threw off the quilt and got out of bed: "I'm going to class."
Shen Yu opened his eyelids helplessly, then lifted the quilt and got out of bed. Students are really the hardest working people in the world, having to get up at 6:30 every day.
"Why did you take off your bracelet and ring?"
"They're all too expensive," Tang Yuanyuan remembered. She still remembered the jadeite Shen Yu had bought at the auction. The color was very similar to this one, and the gemstone on the diamond ring was real. She knew it was worth millions. "If it gets damaged, it won't be worth it."
Shen Yu reached out and pushed back the bracelet she had half-pulled off. "The Shen family's jewelry isn't just for show. Your fiancé is making money faster than the last bracelet. I'll buy a few more at the next auction, and you can wear them like you would at a local stall."
“You are not allowed to pick any of them.”
She put the ring back on and stroked the diamond lovingly. One diamond was too few. She should buy more and let her take turns wearing them.
He wanted to collect the most beautiful jewels and put them on her hands.
Tang Yuanyuan looked at the jade in her hand, feeling a little dazed.
She worked hard for several years, but the combined sales of all her stores were only a few million, not even as much as a bracelet.
No wonder Tang An doesn't feel bad about spending so much money. Getting married, especially marrying into a wealthy family, means making money quickly.
It took her ten minutes to wash up. The advantage of having an aunt is that breakfast is very rich every day and it is different every week. Tang Yuanyuan usually goes to school after dinner. In her free time, she inspects stores and goes to companies. She has to go to many places every day.
Shen Yu has to exercise at home for an hour before going to work. However, there is no swimming pool here, only a gym, and the equipment is not as much as that in the small Western-style building. Most of the time he uses the treadmill and lifts weights.
When Shen Yu entered the company, Assistant Fan noticed the ring on his middle finger and asked, "Mr. Shen, what's this?"
Shen Yu couldn't suppress the corners of his mouth: "Wedding ring, engagement ring."
Assistant Fan: "When did you get engaged?" I haven't heard of it.
Shen Yu: "We're getting engaged at the end of this month."
“…”
It's only the beginning of the month, and there's still almost a month left. Assistant Fan immediately realized that the proposal had just been successful.
"Congratulations. Which daughter are you with? Do I know her?"
"You know her," Shen Yu said, "very familiar, Tang Yuanyuan."
“!”
Assistant Fan subconsciously glanced at Shen Yu's leg and swallowed his saliva. He later specifically asked his subordinates in Jiang City, and they said that Zhang Wang's leg was really broken. Now he has become completely honest and obeys Wang Meiling's orders without any ulterior motives.
"Are you kidding?"
Shen Yu asked with a smile: "Based on your understanding of her, what style of engagement party do you think she would like?"
Assistant Fan was so scared that he coughed a few times. The last time Shen Yu got engaged, he didn't care about these things. Everything was handled by his mother.
"You, how could that be!"
Assistant Fan thought this was too much of a stretch. How could these two people, who had nothing in common, be together? "Did Miss Tang pursue you?"
Tang Yuanyuan is bolder than he thought!
He admired them all.
Shen Yu suddenly felt the urge to share: "I'll start with the one I like."
Assistant Fan was silent for three seconds. "When did this happen? You suddenly canceled your engagement...wasn't it because of Miss Tang?"
This is totally unlike Shen Yu's style.
According to the rules of the Shen family, the core business belongs to the eldest son. Shen Yu is the youngest son. He can only get a part of the family property in the future, but he cannot get the business. So after graduation, he did not rush to join Shen's, but started his own business first.
He can maximize his benefits by marrying Miss Song.
Shen Yu has always done this... and it was because of Tang Yuanyuan that he gave up such a good marriage.
"I find it hard to believe that you would do such an irrational thing."
Shen Yu reflected on himself. During those years, Assistant Fan had the most contact with him: "Wasn't my performance obvious?"
Assistant Fan: "It's not that it's not obvious. I never thought you were such an impulsive person."
Shen Yu has always been a qualified businessman, and everything is measured by profit.
Assistant Fan never thought that Shen Yuneng was a person who was blinded by love.
After all, there are such huge benefits!
Besides, the gap between Tang Yuanyuan and him was too big, and he really thought that Shen Yu was attracted by Tang Yuanyuan's talent.
Assistant Fan was still very curious: "I can't believe it. When did you start thinking about this? Miss Tang doesn't seem like a girl at all."
Shen Yu himself doesn't know.
The first time we met was ridiculous, it was in the men's room.
At that time, he felt that the little girl was courageous and extremely naive.
I actually negotiated a business deal worth 20,000 yuan with him.
After this incident, he didn't think about it anymore, and the next time they saw each other was at the jewelry store.
The store manager, the salesperson, everyone was helpless against the shrewd woman. Tang Yuanyuan was smart and did not try to persuade her with words. Instead, she immediately got her clothes wet and had to get up.
At that time, he just thought that Tang Yuanyuan was quite capable.
She wore the most tattered clothes, carried high-end goods, and walked out of the store with ease. Shen Yu had never seen a girl from an ordinary family do this.
Then it was at the Walkman store, where Tang Yuanyuan had a conflict with Lin Feier. She was discriminated against, but she was not afraid at all. He thought he would help Lin Feier, who stared at him stubbornly with a provocative and unyielding look.
Unable to buy a train, she spent all her money on goods. She wore a torn sack and made up stories. Lin Feier was so angry that she jumped to her feet, but she had no way to deal with her.
Shen Yu had never seen a girl as interesting as Tang Yuanyuan. She was like a weed, tenacious and wild.
Later, the business contracted to her was completed smoothly, and each time it brought him great surprises.
Shen Yu guessed that her family was not doing well, and accidentally saw Tang Yuanyuan's fragile side. Those difficult cries were like a cat's claws scratching his heart. He felt very uncomfortable and used his favors to help her again.
He admired her, affirmed her, and felt a little pity for her, but nothing else.
It was not until Tang Yuanyuan was injured and fainted in front of him with blood on his forehead that his heart panicked and he fell into fear.
Only then did he realize that he had cared about this girl a lot without realizing it.
He didn't want to make her work so hard anymore, he wanted to take care of her and give her the best things.
In an instant, he confirmed his feelings, and then it was natural for him to propose to Miss Song to cancel the engagement.
He waited patiently for Tang Yuanyuan to be admitted to Shanghai. Everything went smoothly, and she actually got admitted to Fudan University.
If people really have destiny, his destiny is probably the best.
The Shen family is a famous large family in Shanghai. He has never experienced the hardships of life. He has been taken care of by three nannies since he was a child. His parents are loving. He is a good student and has gone abroad to study when others are still ignorant.
Now, I can spend my whole life with the girl I love.
His life is very fulfilling.
Thinking about getting engaged, getting engaged to Tang Yuanyuan, now he wants to organize the most perfect engagement party.
"Get the information of the best wedding planning companies in Shanghai."
Assistant Fan was surprised again. After all, the last time Shen Yu got engaged, he was working on the day of the engagement, and this was only the time he attended necessary occasions such as trying on suits.
The difference is really big.
Perhaps, only Tang Yuanyuan can make him ignore gains and losses.
Shen Yu had chosen several themes and thought they were all good, but he wasn't sure which one Tang Yuanyuan would like. He thought she should choose one, too, so he called her pager. "Where are you?"
Tang Yuanyuan: "I've finished my classes and am on my way to the company."
Shen Yu hung up the phone and decided to go there in person.
The reason why Tang Yuanyuan went to the company was because Qian Tingting called, and Tang An went to the company again to look for her.
Tang Yuanyuan came to see what Tang An was trying to do, as he came to get scolded.
The huge piece of gauze on Tang An's head looked a bit funny.
So she did this: "Why is your face disfigured? Oh, why are you so careless? You make a living by your looks, be careful that your wife will kick you out."
"You haven't been fired yet, have you? That's why you're so free to come to my company? Or are you exhausted and planning to run away?"
Tang An: "There's a coffee shop across the street. Let's go there and talk."
Tang Yuanyuan: "I don't think there's anything to talk about between us, and there's no need to go to a coffee shop to talk."
Tang An: "It's about Li Mu."
Tang Yuanyuan thought about last night's phone call and finally realized what was happening. She seemed a little puzzled. "What's going on with Li Mu that I don't know about? You need to tell me? Are you kidding me? Or are you setting up some kind of Hongmen Feast for me?"
Tang An: "Don't you want to know what Li Mu has done? What has he done for you?"
Tang An's expression didn't seem fake, which made Tang Yuanyuan even more curious: "Come to my office. There's no need to go to the coffee shop. I can't drink coffee in front of you."
Tang An raised his foot, followed Tang Yuanyuan into the office, and closed the door.
Tang Yuanyuan sat down in his boss chair and spun around lazily: "If you have to fart, do it now. I can't bear to stay with you for even a second longer."
Tang An: "Five years ago, at Chaihewan, it was you who ordered Li Mu to rob Mrs. Wu of her twenty thousand yuan, right?"
Tang Yuanyuan's mind buzzed, and she grabbed the armrest of the chair: "What did you say!"
Tang An saw that the veins on the back of Tang Yuanyuan's hand were stretched straight, as if they were about to protrude from the skin. It turned out that Tang Yuanyuan really didn't know.
Li Mu, this dog, is really useful.
It would be great if it belonged to me, but unfortunately, after raising it for several years, it turned out to be Tang Yuanyuan.
The less she knows, the greater the chance of her being blown up now.
"You don't have to pretend with me," Tang An said. "Five years ago, I saw with my own eyes how Li Mu robbed Mrs. Wu of her money and rode his bicycle as fast as he could back home."
"You ordered him to do that, didn't you?"
Tang Yuanyuan's blood rushed to his head. Suddenly, he picked up the book on the table and smashed it on Tang An's head: "Are you fucking sick? Why are you talking nonsense like that?"
"Wait a minute," she glanced at Tang An's coat pocket. Although she couldn't see it, she suspected that Tang An was hiding a tape recorder on him. So this was what Li Mu said yesterday. "Why would you make up such a thing?"
"I understand. You stole Mrs. Wu's money. I was wondering, how could her money be stolen by someone so coincidentally? It turned out to be you. What? Are the police going to investigate you? You're looking for a scapegoat. Did you record the video?"
Seeing how excited Tang Yuanyuan was just now, Tang An thought he could get some information out of her!
Was it that Tang Yuanyuan reacted quickly, or did she not believe that it was Li Mu who did it?
"Every word I said is true," Tang An said with a smile, "Don't play tricks on me. I saw it clearly that day. It was Li Mu who stole the money. Tell me, if I flew back and told Mrs. Wu the truth, do you think the police could find out?"
"Li Mu's bright future is ruined."
Tang Yuanyuan: "Go ahead. Li Mu would never do such a thing. Stop trying to frame me."
Tang An: "I'm taking a flight back to Yucheng at 10 o'clock the day after tomorrow morning."
"You might as well ask Li Mu whether he did this or not. If you want Li Mu to be safe, close your shop and give it to me before ten o'clock the day after tomorrow morning. I can consider not telling the truth."
"Think carefully, Li Mu is so good to you, don't you even consider his future."
Tang An was satisfied to see Tang Yuanyuan's face straightened, and he smiled with satisfaction, pushed open the office door, and strode out.
Tang Yuanyuan had a serious face, picked up the car keys, and prepared to go to the University of Finance and Economics to find Li Mu.
Coincidentally, Li Mu just drove to the company.
Tang Yuanyuan stared at Li Mu's face with a terrifying look: "All of you, get off work!"
Qian Tingting: "What's wrong? Are you leaving get off work suddenly? I'm still working on a new project."
Tang Yuanyuan: "No more delays, you all get off work now, leave the company immediately."
Qian Tingting and several people from the company looked at each other at first, then immediately packed up their bags and left.
Across the corridor, Li Mu, holding the car keys, walked with a heavy step, looking at Tang Yuanyuan... She knew.
She knew it all.
Everyone left.
Tang Yuanyuan glared at Li Mu: "Get in here now."
Li Mu raised his legs, and the short distance of more than ten meters suddenly felt extremely heavy.
Tang Yuanyuan clenched her fists for a long moment before asking, "Did you steal it?"
Li Mu lowered his head, not daring to look at Tang Yuanyuan: "No."
"Are you fucking stupid?" Tang Yuanyuan knew at a glance that Li Mu was lying to her, so she picked up the notebook on the desk and smashed it on his head!
"Why do such a stupid thing!"
In the small wonton shop, Tang Yuanyuan's thumb scratched her fingers again and again, like a madman who was willing to give up everything he had in exchange for Wu Chuang's death sentence.
Li Mu: "Because you're crazy. You've thought about cheating her out of all her money. Even if it costs you your own life, you want Wu Chuang to be executed, right?"
Tang Yuanyuan: "That's my business, why are you meddling in my business?"
Li Mu: "Your business is my business."
"Tang Yuanyuan, never be a good person...there will be no good results."
In the darkness of the night, Li Mu's shoulders rose and fell slightly, and his voice was choked.
Tang Yuanyuan still remembers it clearly, her throat was hoarse: "Why?"
Li Mu is the kind of person who wouldn't even help someone if he saw them lying on the roadside. He simply wouldn't meddle in other people's business.
"Because you simply can't accept that Wu Chuang can't die. I don't want to see you go astray. I'm afraid you'll go to jail."
"And you?"
"I can do it better than you."
Tang Yuanyuan's eyes moistened slightly as she stared at him, "Why are you so nice to me?"
"Because I like you."
With a "bang", the sound of something heavy falling to the ground was heard in the corridor. Shen Yu's face was as pale as a piece of paper, and his eyes were full of panic and fear.
-----------------------
The author has something to say: The main text is almost finished, there is not much content left, and Li Mu will not go to jail.
