Chapter 240: Chapter 182: Solution

Port at midnight.

A self-driving yacht slowly sailed towards the deep sea; on the yacht, Lin Chengfeng’s mouth was taped and hands and feet bound. He struggled in agony, his eyes filled with sheer terror and horror.

But it was all in vain.

With stones placed on the yacht, as it reached deep sea, it slowly sank.

Only after the person was completely submerged by seawater, did two dark-clothed bodyguards leave from a nearby location.

-

Su Mengshu hadn’t seen Lin Chengfeng for several days; normally he was always readily available, but this time, she messaged him several times and he didn’t respond at all.

Now that Tang Xi is dead, she felt greatly relieved, having removed a strong rival.

Old Mr. Shu was arranging another matchmaking for her; Su Mengshu wanted Lin Chengfeng to help her investigate something about Tang Xi’s child, fearful that "more dreams at night fetch troubles." If that child really belonged to Fu Tingzhou, she would have to strike first and kill.

But Lin Chengfeng didn’t reply to her WeChat messages at all.

Su Mengshu had no choice but to call him.

"What’s wrong with you? I messaged you, and you didn’t reply." Because she needed his help and because she and Lin Chengfeng were allies, her voice softened, "Brother Wu, although that despicable Tang Xi is dead, I still feel uneasy. Help me do a favor, check out the orphanage where she grew up."

Listening to the silence on the other end, Su Mengshu continued in a coquettish tone, "Ah, Brother Wu, are you still mad at me? It wasn’t my decision to reassign you as a deputy project manager. I’ve even pleaded with grandfather, but as you know, the Shu Family is now under Shu Rongjun’s authority. I don’t have that much power, but Brother Wu, I believe in you, in time, the entire Shu Corporation will be ours, what’s there to worry about?"

From the other end, a man’s cold and sinister voice came, "Su Mengshu, guess why Lin Chengfeng isn’t answering your phone?"

Su Mengshu trembled.

Her hand shook, and the phone fell to the ground.

That voice...

Su Mengshu could not mistake it; it was Fu Tingzhou’s voice.

Cold and chilling, like a sharp, icy blade.

Su Mengshu dared not think why Lin Chengfeng’s phone was with Fu Tingzhou. Instinctively, she stomped on her phone until the screen shattered and the call ended, then she collapsed onto the carpet.

Breaking out in cold sweat.

She dared not think why Lin Chengfeng’s phone ended up with Fu Tingzhou; she knew she was doomed.

She didn’t dare leave the Shu Family’s house, hiding inside without going out.

She declined any activity.

Shu Chong’an noticed something was wrong with Su Mengshu; she cried in his embrace.

"Grandfather, I’m scared, I had a nightmare, I was forever away from you, grandfather, Mengshu is scared."

Witnessing Su Mengshu shivering in terror, Shu Chong’an was deeply distressed and quickly inquired what had happened. Su Mengshu spoke vaguely; she couldn’t exactly say Fu Tingzhou wanted her dead.

So, Su Mengshu claimed she had a nightmare where a sage warned her that someone was after her and she faced a bloody calamity, needing to seek refuge abroad.

Su Mengshu wanted Shu Chong’an to arrange for her to go abroad.

But Shu Chong’an just smiled and reassured her, "It was just a bad dream, don’t be afraid, grandfather is here, with grandfather around, no one can hurt you."

"Grandfather, but I’m really scared, Mengshu wants to be with grandfather all the time, but...the sage in the dream said Tang Xi harbored resentment against me, her vengeful spirit seeks my life, only by going to England for two years, can I avoid this bloody calamity."

Shu Chong’an furrowed his brows.

He looked at Su Mengshu’s pale face with great heartache.

Regarding his newly recognized granddaughter, Shu Chong’an cherished her deeply. Hearing Su Mengshu cry while saying this, he also felt somewhat puzzled. He did not believe in ghosts and spirits, but ever since hearing about Tang Xi’s death, he had been feeling uneasy these past few days, often experiencing difficulty breathing and chest tightness.

For him, Tang Xi was just a stranger, one whom he even disliked.

Why then, upon hearing of Tang Xi’s death, did Shu Chong’an feel... very uncomfortable?

He hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

The issue with Tang Xi was indeed strange. Fearing for his granddaughter’s safety, Shu Chong’an immediately had Shu Rongjun arrange for her to go abroad. He had initially planned for Su Mengshu to study finance abroad as she was a psychiatrist, but now that she had been acknowledged by the Shu Family, she would also need to be involved in their affairs.

Studying abroad came at just the right time.

Shu Rongjun worked quickly, and Su Mengshu’s departure was soon arranged.

It was this Saturday morning.

Shu Chong’an and Shu Rongjun accompanied Su Mengshu to the airport, giving her many instructions along the way, given that they had only just recognized their granddaughter and were reluctant to let her go. But there was no choice, although he didn’t believe in ghosts and spirits, seeing Su Mengshu’s poor condition in recent days compelled them to let her leave for her own peace of mind.

Shu Rongjun had already arranged everything for her abroad.

They stopped the car at the airport entrance, and Su Mengshu had just got out when she froze.

Because a group of bodyguards in black suits, looking stern, were heading towards her.

The bodyguards slowly surrounded the Shu Family’s car.

Shu Chong’an with a frown, watched as Fu Tingzhou approached, "Fu family boy, what are you going to do!"

Su Mengshu looked at Fu Tingzhou walking step by step towards her, trembling and retreating with a pale face.

With a glance from Fu Tingzhou, the men in black moved like dark clouds quickly enveloping them.

Shu Rongjun stood in front of Shu Chong’an and Su Mengshu, angrily confronting Fu Tingzhou, pointing out they didn’t bring any bodyguards as it was a private trip. At this moment, the three of them were surrounded by a bunch of Fu family bodyguards.

Shu Rongjun said, "Fu Tingzhou, what are you planning to do? You rejected the marriage before, we have no ties with the Fu family anymore. If you dare to do anything excessive, don’t blame us..."

Shu Rongjun’s words were cut off as two bodyguards closed in on him.

Su Mengshu screamed and hid behind Shu Chong’an, but she was still knocked out by a bodyguard and carried away in the car.

In just a few seconds, Shu Chong’an and Shu Rongjun were stunned and didn’t react, it seemed like they hadn’t expected Fu Tingzhou to use such a fierce and aggressive method to take Su Mengshu away.

By the time Shu Chong’an managed to react, he was so angry that he trembled and fainted.

-

Inside a warehouse.

Su Mengshu was kneeling on the ground, the surroundings were dark and chilly, but there was a glaringly bright light above her head.

The light was dazzling. Su Mengshu squinted her eyes, her body covered in cold sweat.

Fu Tingzhou lifted her chin with his hand, his voice chillingly cold, "Should I ask, or will you tell me yourself?"

Su Mengshu’s lips trembled, "I am the precious daughter of the Shu family, you can’t harm me, Fu Tingzhou, you can’t do anything to me. If anything happens to me, my grandfather won’t let you off!"
