Chapter 458: Chapter 458: Turn into a bear and accompany me to the island?

If we were to rank the wealthy families in Beijing, the top four would probably be the Huo, Bai, Shi, and Gu families.

Coincidentally, apart from the Huo family, Lu Sheng has connections with the other three families.

The Shi family, as it goes without saying, is her mother’s family in this life. The Bai family was her family in her previous life.

As for the Gu family, their family business is Shengda Real Estate. The person Crohn sent to seduce Li Muchen at that time, Gu Siyu, is from the Gu family.

However, Gu Siyu is the illegitimate daughter of Gu Mingsheng, the chairman of Shengda. Her mother was a former servant of the Gu family, an uncultured, coarse, and greedy woman.

She secretly gave birth to Gu Siyu to extort money from Gu Mingsheng. Later, she gambled and owed a seven-million high-interest loan in Gu Siyu’s name and fled, forcing Gu Siyu to follow Crohn’s orders to get money to pay off her mother’s debt.

Mrs. Gu hated Gu Siyu so much, constantly thinking of ways to torment her, making Gu Siyu’s life in the Gu family very miserable. Fortunately, her half-brother Gu Weijian took care of her.

Thinking of Gu Siyu, Lu Sheng thought, it’s already the end of August, and school will start in a few days.

After today, she should go back to Jiang City to see her family, then return to Beijing, and find an opportunity to visit Gu Siyu.

Bai Wei asked Lu Sheng about the other people the Huo family invited. Lu Sheng looked up and said, "Actually, to be precise, you could say it’s a family and one more person."

"You should know, Old Mr. Shi is my maternal grandfather, so now Shi Chengyun, the chairman of Chenshi Pharmaceutical, is my uncle."

"I hope this time at the Huo family banquet, they can invite my uncle’s family to attend."

Bai Wei thought for a moment: "Shi Chengyun? His wife is that person named..."

"Lin Fangling."

"Oh right, Lin Fangling. They were already on the invitation list."

"I mean the whole family," Lu Sheng said, "not just Shi Chengyun and Lin Fangling, but also their children."

Although it’s unclear why Shi Chengyun’s children must attend, it’s not a difficult matter.

"Alright," Bai Wei said, "The Shi and Huo families have a good relationship; inviting Chairman Shi’s family to attend the birthday banquet is reasonable. I’ll mention it to Mrs. Huo."

"And who is the other person?"

"The other person is You Yi," Lu Sheng said, "He is currently in Beijing working at a place called the Institute of Unnatural Affairs. I hope the Huo family can invite him to the banquet as well."

Bai Wei hadn’t heard of this institute and was a bit puzzled: "... Institute of Unnatural Affairs? What kind of place is that?"

"You can think of it as a place where they research paranormal events and unnatural phenomena.

"Actually, my goal is for You Yi to meet my uncle’s family at the banquet, and both sides just need to be there."

"If things develop as I imagine, that would be best. If not, that’s okay too."

Lu Sheng asking Bai Wei for this favor wasn’t a spur-of-the-moment decision.

That day at the Shi family, after discovering Shi Yuwei was the Red Fox, she almost killed her on the spot.

Shi Yuwei made a deal with her.

Saying she would live as Shi Yuwei, while Lu Sheng would live as herself, neither side interfering with the other.

Shi Yuwei even threatened Lu Sheng, saying that if Lu Sheng brought You Yi to kill her, she would find a way to tell You Yi that Lu Sheng is also a demon, so if she died, Lu Sheng wouldn’t expect to live either.

But Lu Sheng didn’t kill Shi Yuwei on the spot, not mainly because of her threat.

It’s because Shi Yuwei said there was still the original owner’s soul in the body. She took advantage of the original owner’s dying weak will to forcibly occupy the body.

If this was true, and Lu Sheng killed Shi Yuwei on the spot, the Red Fox’s soul could find another host, but the original soul in the body would dissipate, and she would have to bear legal responsibility.

The Red Fox would escape, the original owner would die, and she’d end up in jail. So impulsively killing Shi Yuwei was meaningless.

After that day, Lu Sheng seemed to acknowledge Shi Yuwei’s existence, but even while she was on the island, she was always thinking about a good way to solve Shi Yuwei.

And Lin Fangling, this Fox Demon.

Although Lu Sheng didn’t care about Shi Chengyun’s life, even if he died from Lin Fangling draining his essence, it had nothing to do with her.

But if Shi Chengyun died and Lin Fangling wasn’t dealt with, Lin Fangling would inherit Shi Chengyun’s estate and raise the children, Luochen and Luoyu.

Remembering how Lin Fangling used the intellectually disabled Chenchen to try and kill her in the night, Lu Sheng couldn’t help but let her gaze turn cold.

Lin Fangling clearly only sees the children as tools, without any sincerity, and she can’t let Lin Fangling stay in the Shi family as the children’s mother.

So, when she saw Bai Wei earlier, she suddenly thought of a way.

Old Mr. Huo’s birthday banquet, with attendees from all walks of life, makes perfect sense. Inviting Shi Chengyun with his wife and children is normal, and inviting You Yi is not strange.

If Lin Fangling and Shi Yuwei attend, and You Yi is there as well, You Yi would certainly notice both of them.

Although these two Fox Demons masked their fox scent with perfume, even she could smell it, and You Yi would definitely smell it too.

First, the Demon Hunters are supported by national leaders, so they don’t bear any responsibility for killing.

So, once You Yi discovers Shi Yuwei and Lin Fangling are demons, he will certainly act to eliminate them, without bearing any responsibility.

Moreover, You Yi has the Soul-devouring nail, which only kills the demon’s soul.

If the original soul is still in the body, then once the Red Fox dies, the original soul might awaken.

Lu Sheng also isn’t afraid that Shi Yuwei, before dying, will reveal her identity to You Yi.

If Shi Yuwei truly tells You Yi——

Chasing and fleeing, entangled for two lifetimes, Lu Sheng knows You Yi very well. You Yi, who loathes evil, is not indiscriminately evil; he just doesn’t believe there are good demons in the world.

When that time comes, she’ll find a way to speak with You Yi.

"Alright."

After hearing what Lu Sheng said, Bai Wei agreed to everything Lu Sheng said.

For no other reason than Lu Sheng being the person who knows her sister the best in this world, willing to do anything for that understanding.

Bai Wei suddenly thought of something, suddenly lifting her head: "I suddenly remember, you said you came to this Lu Sheng after leaving your second body, that means my sister..."

"That’s what I wanted to talk to you about," Lu Sheng said, "Bai Qiang’s body is in a cave deep in the mountains. I preserved it, and I’ll write down the exact location for you. She’s been wandering outside for so long, and I’d like to see you bring her home."

Lu Sheng said.

Although knowing her sister was already dead, hearing the word "body" still made Bai Wei momentarily break down.

Her expression was filled with deep pain as she covered her face and wept, her shoulders quaking with suppressed sobs.

Lu Sheng stood up, gently patting her head in comfort. Then she wrote her WeChat number on a note and left it on the table, quietly leaving the room.

But as soon as she stepped outside, she bumped right into Li Muchen.

The tall and upright man was still wearing the same shirt and trousers he wore four days ago when he brought her to Qingmang Tower. He was holding Lu Sheng’s phone, which she had left at the entrance of the hall, and his deep black eyes showed concern.

Seeing Li Muchen at that moment, Lu Sheng’s earlier suspicions were confirmed.

"Baby, I’ve been looking for you. How did you end up here?" Li Muchen instinctively glanced into the room.

He naturally knew Bai Wei; they had business dealings before.

So seeing the always tenacious and resolute Second Miss Bai Wei crying so sadly, Li Muchen couldn’t help but be somewhat surprised.

"I’ll explain that to you later, but right now I have a more pressing question for you."

Lu Sheng raised her hand to pinch Li Muchen’s face, her tone steady, "...Changing into a bear to accompany me on the island? Tell me what you were thinking, hmm?"
