Chapter 512: Trump Card
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“I won’t tell you where your brother is, but I can point you in the right direction.” Shen Hai sighed faintly and said, “For now, the only thing you can do for the Shen family is to find Lu Ting.”
Shen Yuan’s body stiffened, and her fierce expression became somewhat blank.
Shen Hai could tell from her reaction what she was thinking deep down.
For so many years, in order to please him, Shen Yuan had always disguised herself as a shallow woman who pursued vanity.
Whoever Shen Hai wanted her to please, she would please.
But deep down, she still had the same pride as her mother.
She was unwilling to easily rely on others, especially Lu Si, whom she secretly loved.
Unfortunately, it was only now, when he lay motionless on the bed, that he finally saw through these things.
“You need to find Lu Ting; he’s the only one who can help you now.” Shen Hai looked at her seriously. “Otherwise, Shen Group will be completely ruined in your hands!”
Shen Yuan absentmindedly looked up at him, with an unmistakable hatred in her eyes. “It’s all because of your incompetence! If you hadn’t neglected the management of the company these years, how could the batch of goods sent to Kangwei have such a serious quality issue? In the end, it’s all your fault!”
Shen Hai self-mockingly smiled and deliberately used his words to taunt her. “When I took over the company back then, 1 faced many challenges, but we still overcame them. You, on the other hand, are helpless in the face of the crisis in the Shen family. If your brother took over, the company wouldn’t have fallen to this point!”
“How dare you mention him!” Shen Yuan gritted her teeth and rushed to the bedside. Her trembling fingers reached into the drawer of the bedside table, and she skillfully found a bottle of pills, pouring out most of the pills and forcibly feeding them into his mouth, making him swallow.
Shen Hal’s face quickly turned purple, and then his chest started heaving violently due to difficulty breathing. The pain gradually spread to his limbs and all over his body. His eyelids began to roll outward, and foam oozed from the corners of his mouth. His entire body started uncontrollably convulsing.
Shen Yuan stood by and watched, satisfied, for a while before calling the butler to come in and watch over Shen Hai, preventing him from easily dying.
After doing all this, she sat in the car, ready to go to the company for work.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, the secretary’s urgent call came in.
“Miss Shen, something’s wrong. Song Yan’s residence is empty, and even those few thugs we bribed have disappeared overnight.”
“How could this happen?” Shen Yuan rubbed her hair in frustration, trying to suppress her uneasy emotions and calm herself down. “Isn’t Song Yan’s emergency contact information still recorded in the company? Call right away and find out where Song Yan is!”
“I already called, but the phone number is fake,” the secretary helplessly looked at the address book containing information on all the company employees, reluctantly admitting, “Miss Shen, Song Yan may have become a traitor. We still can’t contact Zhao Fu. What should we do?”
Shen Yuan also wanted to know what to do now.
She had a business appointment with President Yu today, but if this matter wasn’t handled well, she might not only lose the business but also the company itself.
Shen Hai was right.
For now, she could only seek help from the Lu family.
After realizing this, Shen Yuan hung up the phone, instructed the driver to turn around, and decided to seek Lu Ting’s help before things escalated.
On the day of school, Wen Miao and Zhang Yue didn’t show up.
Mei Shu looked at the empty seats in front, secretly sent a text message to Tang Mei inquiring about the progress of last night’s case.
Tang Mei had been keeping track of the police station’s updates and quickly replied.
“President Mei, the police have sent someone to Shen’s house, but Shen Yuan is not at home or at the company. They are still investigating Shen Yuan’s whereabouts.”
Mei Shu thoughtfully put away her phone.
It seemed that Shen Yuan had already played her last trump card. Now, she was in big trouble, most likely going to the Lu family.
Thinking about this, a smile involuntarily appeared on her lips, coincidentally seen by the passing class teacher.
“Mei Shu, come out for a moment.”
The teacher led her to the office, took a sip of hot water before putting on the cup lid, and slowly said, “During this time, you have taken a lot of leave. I know your family is busy, but even if you are busy, you can’t neglect your studies. The college entrance examination is less than a month away. How is your revision going?”
“Teacher, I haven’t neglected my studies. I can guarantee that I’ll secure second place and compete for first place in the next exam.” She meant that she could stably secure the second place in the grade and compete for the first place with Lu Yan.
The teacher nodded in satisfaction. “That’s good. By the way, Lu Yan’s family asked for leave for him, saying they hired a one-on-one college entrance examination tutor for him to study at home. He’s working so hard, so you must not be careless.”
Mei Shu understood in her heart. So, Lu Ting had been using this reason to detain Lu Yan at home all along.
“I will work hard on my studies too, Teacher. Regarding the recent rumors about Wen Miao at school, I have something to say..”
