Chapter 485: Chapter 485 Mu Shaoci & Shen Lu 30

Mu Shaoci returned to the country and immediately headed to Mu Corporation, while Shen Lu was instructed to stay home and not to leave.

The building that had the accident was almost topped out, with reports that two workers, drunk, fell from a window and died on the spot.

Hengxiang Real Estate is a subsidiary of Mu Corporation and is highly reputable, so when Yujing Bay first launched, it was sold out instantly.

Now that the topping-out had an incident, the residents of the building felt the Feng Shui was bad and wanted not only refunds but also compensation.

Additionally, the families of the two deceased workers started causing trouble, asserting that accidents at the construction site should be compensated.

Mu Shaoci’s face was gloomy as he looked towards Su Chen, "Tell our lawyers to sue these families. Not only will we not compensate them, but we will also make them compensate us for our economic losses. If it’s challenging, then the lawyers nurtured by Mu Corporation can be dismissed."

Su Chen nodded, "What about those residents?"

Mu Shaoci tapped his fingertips on the table, "Tell them, if they wish to stay, deduct one million from each household. If they don’t wish to stay, then refund them in full and pay them the current bank interest rate. If they are still dissatisfied and cause more trouble, tell them that they will never be allowed to purchase properties developed by Mu Corporation again. Prepare the materials for this afternoon’s press conference."

Su Chen nodded his assent, "Yes."

Shen Lu was restless at home, aware that the corporation was facing a major incident because there had been fatalities.

Although it was the two workers drunk and falling from the building, it still heavily impacted Mu Corporation.

Now, everytime she opened her phone, the news and videos were all about this incident.

Shen Lu clicked on the video of the press conference and saw Mu Shaoci standing at the podium addressing the measures being taken in response to the incident.

She felt they were reasonable, but the victim’s families and some troublemakers disagreed, making a public scene, even throwing plastic water bottles at Mu Shaoci.

Mu Shaoci’s face darkened, resembling the prelude to a storm, and he said clearly and slowly, "If you think it’s unreasonable, then leave your names. Mu Corporation is willing to sue you one by one. For one year, two years, ten years, or twenty years."

Lawsuits consume mental, physical, and financial resources; not many could stand against such a large multinational company.

Yet, there were still four or five people filled with righteous indignation, leaving their names and preparing to fight to the end against Mu Corporation.

Although Shen Lu was not cunning, she could tell that these few people must have had backers; otherwise, they couldn’t possibly challenge Mu Corporation on their own.

Glancing at the time, it was already six in the evening.

She guessed Mu Shaoci hadn’t eaten.

Shen Lu thought for a moment, made three flavors of sushi, packed them into a food box, and walked out the door.

Everything went smoothly until her car stopped in the underground garage.

She carried the food box out of the car and walked towards the dedicated elevator.

At that moment, a figure dashed out from behind her, striking the back of her neck.

Shen Lu’s food box fell to the ground.

A man picked her up and ran towards a nearby van which swiftly sped away.

Mu Shaoci and the lawyers talked late into the night. He looked at his watch; it was already ten.

He said, "Let’s continue tomorrow, everyone go home."

After the lawyers left, he pressed his temples and called Shen Lu, but her phone was off.

He thought it might be out of battery or she might be asleep.

He took his car keys and left the office, not taking many steps from the elevator before spotting a familiar-looking food box on the ground.

He quickly walked over and saw the spilled sushi, his heart tightening.

He quickly stood up and began to look for Shen Lu’s car.

His heart was filled with fear; seeing the car would mean something had happened to Shen Lu.

Standing in front of the car, his breathing grew heavy.

He contacted Mu Shaoze to track Shen Lu’s whereabouts.

Mu Shaoze was surprised, not expecting Mu Shaoci to be so anxious for a woman.

He didn’t ask further and urgently started tracing clues.

Mu Shaoci sat in the car smoking one cigarette after another, unable to confirm who had kidnapped Shen Lu.

Soon, Mu Shaoze’s call came back.

"Big brother, the surveillance from the underground garage was deleted, but it’s been recovered. Assistant Shen was abducted by a man into a van around seven o’clock. The van headed to a suburban area in Linshi, and then there was no further surveillance."

Mu Shaoci stamped out the cigarette, "Send me that driving route."

After hanging up, he called Su Chen, "Get fifty people; we’re going somewhere."

In a dim room, Shen Lu slowly opened her eyes.

Her neck hurt terribly.

Recalling the incident, she was attacked in the underground garage.

She moved slightly and found her hands and feet tied.

She was terrified, her heart pounding rapidly.

Suddenly, the door was pushed open, and someone turned on the light.

The sudden brightness made Shen Lu involuntarily close her eyes.

When she opened them again, she saw two men standing before her, wearing masks, bare-chested, looking down at her.

The man spoke with a voice changer, "Do you know what you are about to face?"

Shen Lu’s arms were tied behind her back, she gathered her courage and asked, "I have no grudges with you, why bind me? If you want money, I can give you money, don’t ruin me."

The man chuckled, crouching down to show her a photo on his phone, "Do you recognize this person?"

Upon seeing the photo, Shen Lu yelled, "What have you done to my dad?"

The man patted her face, "What have we done? As long as you help us with what we need, we’ll release your dad, otherwise today we’ll take his kidneys, tomorrow his corneas, the day after his liver, until we get his heart."

Tears streamed down Shen Lu’s face, "What exactly do you want?"

The man whispered something in her ear.

Shen Lu shook her head, "No, I can’t betray him, I can’t."

"Fine, then I will call now and send your dad to heaven!"

"No!" Shen Lu screamed in terror.

The man ripped open her shirt, buttons snapping to the ground with a loud clatter.

"Let us have a bit of fun first, make a video, then you’ll know how to choose."

Shen Lu struggled furiously, and the man slapped her hard across the face.

Looking at the fresh blood trickling from Shen Lu’s mouth, the man grasped her neck, "I’ll ask you one last time, your dad or Mu Shaoci?"

Sobbing, Shen Lu replied, "My dad."

The man behind the mask smirked, "That’s right, your dad gave birth to you, raised you, choosing your dad makes you a thankless wretch! But just to be safe, Assistant Shen, we still need to inconvenience you!"

He tore off Shen Lu’s long dress, about to record the video, only to see bright red blood flowing from between her legs.

The man cursed, "Damn mood killer!"

Another man spoke, "Bro, something’s wrong here, has this gal miscarried?"
