Chapter 487: Chapter 487 Mu Shaoci & Shen Lu 32

Shen Lu put the items back where they belonged and left the study.

She changed into a sportswear set, threw on a windbreaker jacket, stepped into sneakers, and left home with a bag containing her identification documents.

The home she shared with Mu Shaoci.

After getting into the car, she recalled everything that had happened between her and Mu Shaoci from the beginning to now, and broke down crying on the steering wheel.

Mu Shaoci would definitely hate her after this.

But she simply couldn’t watch her father, who raised her, die.

"I’m sorry, Shaoci, I’m truly sorry..."

She wiped her tears and drove away.

The dock, eight in the evening, it was already dark, but the dock was brightly lit.

Mu Shaoci was welcoming guests.

Today was Mrs. Mu Xu Wanqing’s birthday, and the party was held on a cruise ship, many Jiangcheng big shots were in attendance.

Mu Shaoci glanced at his watch, then called Shen Lu; she answered quickly, "Lulu, have you eaten?"

"Mhm, I had some cake that Nanny Zhang bought, just a little, I’m lying down now. How about you?"

"I’m welcoming guests, about to set off soon. I’ll definitely bring you next time."

Shen Lu’s car was stopped two hundred meters from the dock. She looked out through the car window, trying to see Mu Shaoci clearly, but she couldn’t see anything.

She wiped away her tears, "Okay, next time you must bring me."

Mu Shaoci noticed something was off in her voice and frowned, "Lulu, are you crying again?"

Shen Lu cried uncontrollably, "Shaoci, I’m sorry, I didn’t protect our child well."

Mu Shaoci was holding back, "Don’t cry Lulu, I’m coming back now."

"Don’t!" Shen Lu said, "Shaoci, today is your aunt’s birthday, you can’t be absent. I’m fine, don’t worry, it will be alright in a couple of days."

Many people were greeting Mu Shaoci, Shen Lu took a deep breath, "Then you go ahead."

Mu Shaoci responded lightly, "I’ll come back early tonight to be with you."

Shen Lu didn’t refuse, "Okay, I’ll make you Sobering-up Soup then."

"Silly girl, I won’t drink too much, you just rest well."

"I know. Bye."

"Alright, you hang up first then."

"Okay, bye."

Shen Lu hung up the phone, sobbing heart-wrenchingly.

She had thought about asking Mu Shaoci to help find her dad, but she dared not risk it; in case something went wrong, she would regret it for life.

Her phone rang at that moment.

She quickly answered, "Hello."

"See that cruise ship? Once it leaves, you come to the dock."

"My dad?"

"Rest assured, I’ll return him to you."

Shen Lu got out of the car, the early autumn cool breeze blowing her long hair.

Watching the cruise ship slowly moving away, she got out and walked towards the dock.

There were still quite a few people at the dock, but she did not know which one was the person she was supposed to meet.

Looking around, Shen Lu saw a man wearing a baseball cap and a mask approaching her.

As the man passed by her, he said, "Follow me."

Shen Lu followed him, they turned towards the side of the dock.

The man walked down the steps and boarded a speedboat.

Shen Lu asked warily, "What does this mean?"

The man’s figure hidden in the shadows, he chuckled, "Taking you to see your dad, they’re on a boat. Did you bring your things?"

Shen Lu said, "Of course."

"Then hurry up. The later you are, the more your dad will get beaten!"

Shen Lu clenched her phone, bit her lip, and boarded the speedboat.

The man started the speedboat and headed towards the open sea.

Fifteen minutes later, the speedboat stopped in front of a boat.

Shen Lu saw Father Shen being held up by two people beside the railing and yelled, "Dad, is that you?"

Father Shen forced his eyes open, "Xiaolu, it’s dad. I’m sorry, I got you involved!"

Shen Lu shook her head, "It’s me who got dad involved."

She looked at the man, "Let my dad down, send us back to the dock, and I’ll give you the stuff."

The man scoffed, "Since when do you get to threaten us? If you don’t hand it over, I’ll throw him into the sea now!"

He gestured, and the two men on the boat tied up Father Shen and pushed him down.

Shen Lu screamed in horror, thankfully Father Shen was still hanging by a rope on one end.

The man tilted his chin up, "Give me the stuff."

Left with no choice, Shen Lu took out her phone, "I’ve taken a photo."

The man took it, pulled up the photo, and tapped on it.

He then handed the phone back to Shen Lu, but just as she was about to take it, the man with the mask smirked, "I’m sending you and your dad off now, I want Mu Shaoci to suffer!"

The man threw Shen Lu into the sea, along with the phone.

On the other side, the two men on the ship released the rope in their hands, and Father Shen dropped into the ocean.

Neither of them could swim, and they quickly disappeared into the sea.

The man waved his hand and started the speedboat to leave.

At the same time, the ship also sailed away.

Two kilometers away, Mu Shaoze stood on the deck looking at the sea.

For some unknown reason, he felt very uneasy.

He wanted to call Shen Lu, but just then, Mu Shaoze’s call came through.

His voice very anxious, "Brother, mom fell into the sea!"

Mu Shaoze could no longer care about anything else, he turned and ran towards the scene of the accident.

That night, everyone was questioned.

Exhausted, Mu Shaoze returned home the next day at noon.

Seeing him return alone, Nanny Zhang was startled, "The lady hasn’t come back?"

Mu Shaoze frowned suddenly, "What are you talking about?"

Nanny Zhang seemed unclear, "Didn’t you pick up the lady?"

"When did I pick her up?"

Nanny Zhang also realized something was wrong and quickly picked up a note from the coffee table, "Take a look."

[Nanny Zhang, I don’t have your number, so I left a note. Shaoci and I went to the birthday party together. The little cake we bought is in the fridge. We’ll eat it when I get back. Thanks.]

Mu Shaoze took out his phone to call Shen Lu, but the phone was already turned off.

His first thought was that Shen Lu, feeling guilty over the miscarriage, had left him.

He called Mu Shaoze, "Fourth brother, track Shen Lu’s movements for me. What time?"

Nanny Zhang said, "I came back at 5:30, so the lady must have left before 5:30."

Mu Shaoze said, "Before 5:30 yesterday afternoon, make it quick."

"Brother, do you really have a thing with Assistant Shen?"

Mu Shaoze said, "Quick, do you understand?"

"Right away!"

Mu Shaoze sat on the couch smoking, chaining one cigarette after another.

In no time, there were five or six cigarette butts in the ashtray.

The phone buzzed on the coffee table, Mu Shaoze hurriedly answered, "Did you find out?"

"Brother, Assistant Shen went to the dock last night and boarded a speedboat with a man, and then disappeared. I checked her phone number, and all recent contacts have turned into dead numbers. Brother, could it be that she ran off with someone?"

Mu Shaoze pursed his lips, then said, "Check for her records on land, sea, and air. I have to find her!"
