blood
The next morning, Mu Qingyan accompanied Shen Chuxuan to see off the five council members who had completed their inspection.
Although some accidents happened yesterday, they were finally averted. With the help of the police station, the parliamentarians had a more thorough understanding of Shen's integrity and professionalism. Looking at their expressions, Mu Qingyan believed that this medical reform bill should not disappoint her.
According to her understanding, Shen Chuxuan had no plans to deal with politicians during this period, but since such a good start has been made, and companies of Shen's level will inevitably have close ties with politicians in the end, this may help Shen Chuxuan slowly break free from the constraints of BI, so Mu Qingyan is willing to give a push behind the scenes.
"In a few years, the next generation should be grown up. Chu Xin, it wouldn't be a bad idea for you to get in touch with them more and become a reserve of future talent... Chu Xin?"
"Hmm? Oh, sorry for speaking so lightly..."
Shen Chuxuan looked like she had just come to her senses, but fortunately she didn't miss the previous conversation and continued smoothly:
"Honestly, if I hadn't gotten to know you well enough over this period of time, I would definitely be scared by your suggestion..."
Shen Chuxuan had never thought of letting the offspring of politicians take a shortcut to enter the Shen family.
As for Mu Qingyan, most people would probably feel that beneath the friendliness and tact she displayed to the outside world, there was ninety-nine percent indifference - Chen Chuxuan had also thought so, but, surprisingly, Mu Qingyan was actually much more worldly-wise than they had imagined, and she did not think this was some shameful opportunism, but used it with extraordinary skill.
——There are still many interesting things about this girl waiting for people to discover.
The person involved was a little surprised to be stared at:
"What's wrong, Chu Xian? Didn't you sleep well last night?"
While helping the tired-looking Vice President Shen walk to the meeting room, Mu Qingyan also recalled a strange thing that happened this morning.
Kinsley was still sleeping when she was woken up by her biological clock. Although she had said everything she needed to say and done everything she needed to do last night, the sun still rose as usual and she couldn't be willful now. She quietly got herself ready and went downstairs to work.
Of course, I couldn't help but worry that Kinsley would wake up alone in an empty room and have all sorts of wild thoughts, so I contacted Mr. Tanaka to come and watch over him.
However, Mu Qingyan didn't expect that she would meet Mr. Tanaka coming out of the next room outside the door.
The other party looked calm, as always without a single flaw, and only said, "Miss Chuxuan drank too much yesterday and needs care." Mu Qingyan had just heard Shen Chuxuan talk about what happened with Tanaka a few days ago, so he understood and stopped asking.
——It’s just the beginning of the new state now…
"What happened last night?"
"No..." Shen Chuxuan pressed his brow and replied, "Maybe... I haven't drunk so much alcohol in a long time, I just have a little hangover..."
Mu Qingyan could tell from her behavior that it had nothing to do with Mr. Tanaka, which meant that something else important had happened, but she just didn't want to say it.
Mu Qingyan naturally wouldn't force it, so she took out her cell phone and took a look at it, ready to change the subject, when she saw the message from York.
"Vacation?"
She thought seriously for a while whether she had missed any secret message from her friends, but the beautiful scenery of the Gold Coast that followed immediately dispelled this idea.
"Chu Xian, why don't we go together after the trade show?"
“…”
The panic he felt when he met his adoptive father last night came back to him. Shen Chuxuan looked at York's profile picture on the communication page. He certainly understood what Infinity was doing and York's intention in contacting Qingyan. For a moment, he didn't know whether he should be glad that he now had a reason to persuade York.
"Well, then let's go together--"
"Vice President!"
Jack suddenly rushed into the meeting room in a hurry.
"Something happened!"
…
The lingering aroma of alcohol and the sweet smell of blood.
The room was strangely quiet. When Shen Chuxuan arrived, his eldest brother's bodyguard Jacob was kneeling beside the sofa in wrinkled clothes with a look of horror on his face.
He seemed to be blocking something, and only a scarlet color spread under his feet.
"Jacob...what happened...Brother..." Shen Chuxuan's voice was trembling.
The bodyguard took two steps on his knees and kowtowed to her twice:
"Second Miss! Second Miss, it's my fault! The eldest young master...he..."
There was no need for him to continue, Shen Chuxuan saw everything that happened behind him.
Shen You fell in a pool of blood, his face pale and unconscious. Blood flowed out of the bloody hole in his left chest, soaking the floor.
But it was obvious that the blood on the floor was not just his.
Not far from Chen You's side lay his assistant, with a knife stuck in his abdomen. The handle of the knife was dark and ancient, and it looked extremely shiny with a layer of blood.
The assistant's body was stiff, his eyes wide open, as if he couldn't believe what was happening.
The room was filled with valuable paintings and vases scattered across the floor, and the tables and chairs were toppled over, revealing the chaotic situation that had occurred not long ago.
Shen Chuxuan's face was as white as a dead sheet of paper, his hands trembling slightly at his sides, the trembling at his fingertips spreading uncontrollably throughout his body.
"Chuxuan...Chuxuan, calm down..."
Mu Qingyan supported Shen Chuxuan, who was about to fall. Soon, the man who was standing next to the corpse heard the noise and came over.
"Vice President Shen, please calm down! President Shen is still breathing! I'm the hotel manager. I've just notified our doctors, and they'll be treating President Shen right away!"
Coincidentally, just as he finished speaking, two men in white coats came with a bunch of medical equipment, followed closely by Vasile Guan.
While the doctors were rescuing him, Mu Qingyan helped Shen Chuxuan sit on the sofa and asked the bodyguard on behalf of the man who had lost his composure:
“Are you the first one to discover that Mr. Shen was injured?”
The bodyguard shuddered: "No... no..."
"Ms. Mu, it was our cleaning staff who discovered it." The manager pointed to another bewildered young man. "He was terrified, and Mr. Jacob followed him in after hearing him screaming."
The cleaning staff cleaned the room as required, and the bodyguard waiting outside the door told them "not to approach the master bedroom" before letting them in. However, he saw this scene in the living room.
Mu Qingyan looked around the room and continued to ask:
"From the looks of it, the noise when the accident happened must have been quite loud. How come you didn't hear anything while you were standing guard outside?"
After asking this question, Shen Chuxuan, who was still in shock, realized that something was wrong. She stood up suddenly, pointed at the bodyguard and asked sternly:
"Jacob! From last night until this morning, who on earth has entered Big Brother's room? And you, what on earth did you do?"
Chen Chuxuan knew Jacob was unreliable, but her eldest brother always complained that the people she sent were too nosy, and he kept harassing and driving them away, but in the end, only this one person was left.
For so many years, Jacob had been following his elder brother around like a gang of scoundrels, and nothing serious had ever happened. Moreover, there was a capable assistant who advised him to some extent, so Shen Chuxuan did not interfere any more.
But now, the assistant's life or death is unknown, Jacob is suspected of a crime, and Shen Chuxuan can't help but regret his carelessness.
"Second Miss! It's not me! How could I possibly harm the eldest young master!" Jacob saw her suspicion and argued loudly for himself, "Second Miss, please think twice! If I wanted to harm the eldest young master, why would I choose this time! You——"
"Then why didn't you hear any movement in the room?"
“I…I…”
"Vice President Shen, Yan, there's a result."
Vasile Guan interrupted the bodyguard's hesitation. He took off his medical gloves and glasses, thought for a moment, and then spoke:
"Mr. Shen still has a chance of survival. He has lost too much blood and is seriously injured. Emergency treatment has been given. We should be thankful that Mr. Shen's heart is located on the right side of his chest with a very small probability."
As a world-renowned cardiologist, his words were naturally authoritative enough. Even though Shen Chuxuan had already known about his elder brother's physical characteristics, he still nodded heavily at this moment, tears almost welling up in his eyes.
"But that gentleman—" Dr. Guan pointed at the assistant, a look of regret on his face, "His liver ruptured, he lost too much blood, he's already…"
He glanced at the silent Mu Qingyan, thought for a moment, and handed the knife he had just taken out to Shen Chuxuan.
“Vice President Shen, do you have any impression of this knife?”
Shen Chuxuan almost didn't dare to answer it. In a flash, she seemed to remember something and stared at the hotel manager:
"Can't you explain why such a knife appeared in a hotel of this level?"
With the development of new materials, knives have completely gotten rid of the sharpness brought by metal. The materials currently used in China will automatically blunt the blade when it comes into contact with the human body to provide protection.
The consequences of discovering a knife like the murder weapon are basically as serious as those of possessing a gun many years ago.
No wonder the hotel manager was so frightened that he couldn't speak clearly.
"Looking at the appearance of this knife, it should have reached the level of a collector. It doesn't seem to be an ordinary knife provided by the hotel."
Dr. Guan explained the situation to the manager, and Shen Chuxuan naturally understood that no matter what, the hotel should not be the culprit.
After learning that her brother still had hope of being saved, she slowly calmed down and threw the knife in front of Jacob:
"Tell me! Who came to see big brother last night?"
The bodyguard was startled and said a few names tremblingly.
Hearing the word "young master", not only Shen Chuxuan, but also Mu Qingyan and Vasile Guan were stunned for a moment.
"You said, A Yin came to see big brother?"
"Yes... yes... the young master came with Mr. Tanaka... he——"
“Big Brother!”
Speak of the devil, and here he is. Kinsley was dressed neatly, but his hair was unkempt. It was obvious that he had just left the hotel when he received the news and rushed over. Following behind him was Tanaka, who had a serious look on his face.
"Ayin, don't go over there!"
Shen Chuxuan quickly stopped his brother and repeated what Dr. Guan had said. Fortunately, Tanaka was always there to persuade him, and he finally calmed down.
But soon, Kinsley, who was furious, saw Jacob kneeling on the ground and trembling.
He shook off Tanaka's hand that was holding his arm, took a few steps forward and kicked the man hard, directly kicking the bodyguard, who was also a seasoned warrior, and sent him flying far away.
