Chapter 488: Chapter 488 Mu Shaoci & Shen Lu 33

Shen Lu had a dream, dreaming she was sinking into the depths of the sea.

She saw Mu Shaoci swimming towards her, but no matter what, he couldn’t grasp her hand.

She really wanted to cry, she felt so sad.

She felt someone shaking her, and when she suddenly opened her eyes, she saw a young, incredibly beautiful face.

"Have you finally woken up?"

As soon as Shen Lu spoke, her voice was hoarse, "Am I, am I still alive?"

The girl smiled, "No, you’ve come to heaven. I am an angel."

Shen Lu stared at her directly, "Indeed an angel, so beautiful."

The girl stopped teasing her and helped her sit up, "My name is An Yan, my boat passed by and saved you."

Shen Lu hurriedly thanked her, taking An Yan’s hand, "Then, did you also rescue a man around fifty years old?"

"We saved him too, but he’s got a lung infection and hasn’t woken up yet!"

Shen Lu asked, "How many days have I been unconscious?"

"Two days."

Seeing Shen Lu trying to get up, An Yan held her down, "Although you’re awake, you’re very weak. Don’t hurry to get out of bed and walk. You’ve just suffered a miscarriage and been soaked in the sea, recovery will be difficult and getting pregnant again won’t be easy."

Shen Lu was pressed back onto the bed by An Yan, "Just now, your emotions were very fluctuating, so I didn’t give you an injection. Now, I’m going to give you some anti-inflammatory drugs."

"Thank you." Shen Lu looked at her figure and felt somewhat familiar, "Have we met before?"

An Yan thought, of course, we have, many times.

"No, perhaps it’s fate."

Shen Lu pursed her lips, "I want to make a call to my mom."

An Yan nodded and handed over her phone.

After the incident, Shen Lu asked Mother Shen to take grandma into hiding and changed her phone number.

She dialed the number, and the other party quickly answered.

"Mom."

"Xiaolu! I couldn’t reach you these past two days; I was scared to death. How are you?"

"I’m fine, don’t worry."

"And, what about your dad?" Mother Shen sounded nervous, she feared bad news but couldn’t help but ask.

Shen Lu sniffled, "Dad is fine. Don’t worry."

"That’s good, that’s good. Grandma and I are hiding in an old wooden house in the mountains."

Shen Lu said tearfully, "Mom, I’ll come to pick you up in a couple of days."

"Don’t cry, Xiaolu. I want to talk to your dad for a bit."

Shen Lu said, "Dad is asleep, I’ll ask him to contact you when he can. Mom, I won’t talk to you for too long; this is my friend’s phone."

"Okay, then you go ahead and do your thing."

Shen Lu handed the phone back to An Yan, "Thank you."

An Yan smiled, saying not to mention it, "But did you offend someone? They want you and your father’s lives?"

Shen Lu nodded, perhaps because An Yan saved her, and gave her a sense of kindness, so she didn’t hide anything and recounted the whole incident.

An Yan raised an eyebrow, "So you exposed the bottom price?"

Shen Lu hummed, "It’s my fault, I betrayed him. I had to save my father, and I could have asked for his help, but I couldn’t bear the consequences of being discovered."

An Yan shook her head, "If you hadn’t met me, both you and your father would have died. What you should do is tell him this, and think of a solution together."

Shen Lu sighed, "It’s too late to say anything now; he will never forgive me."

"Go back and find him."

Shen Lu said, "He must hate me to death. I don’t deserve it."

An Yan didn’t say anything more, only feeling it was a pity that Shen Lu and Mu Shaoci had separated like this.

"I’ll go and prepare something for you to eat."

"Thank you."

An Yan went to the kitchen, and shortly after, Bi Chong came in.

Seeing the freshly cooked prawns on the Liuli platform, he reached out to grab one, but was slapped on the hand by An Yan, "What are you doing?"

"Can’t I eat prawns?"

"This is for the patient. Your meal is over there."

Bi Chong looked where she was pointing, and there was a dish of fried rice on the table.

He pouted and started eating with a pair of chopsticks.

His eyes lit up, "Boss, this is delicious!"

"If it’s delicious, eat more. By the way, any news from our big brother?"

"Nothing yet, but I expect there will be soon."

An Yan looked at him, "I’ve been feeling unsettled recently. If you get any news, let me know immediately."

Bi Chong’s cheeks were stuffed as he ate, "Okay, boss."

...

Convention Center.

The government held a bidding for a plot of land on Changping Road.

Due to the prime location, many companies participated, filling the venue to capacity.

The government representative made a presentation and announced the bidding method. Company names were to be marked on the distributed cards, and the bottom price to be written on them, with the highest bid winning after tabulation.

At this moment, the doors to the venue opened.

Mu Shaoci, in a well-tailored suit, strode in, followed by Su Chen.

As a VIP, he sat in the front row.

Chen Kai, seated a few rows back, watched Mu Shaoci with a sinister gaze. The person beside him whispered, "Don’t worry. We will definitely get that land. We just need to outbid him by a little, a guaranteed win."

Chen Kai sneered, "I didn’t expect Mu Shaoci to recover so quickly. I thought he would be down for the count."

His subordinate said, "People like him have hearts of stone, only care about profits. Women are dime a dozen."

While they spoke, the cards were distributed, and company representatives wrote down their bottom prices.

In no time, the cards were collected, and the staff began to tally publicly.

Everyone could see the bottom prices written by the companies through the big screen.

Of course, some were happy; some were not.

When the final results appeared, Chen Kai’s face sunk.

He had bid a million more than Shen Lu’s recording, but Mu Shaoci had upped the stakes by an additional fifty million on the original base.

The government publicly announced that Mu Shaoci had won the ownership rights to the land.

Mu Shaoci, seeing that Wanchen Company’s bid was second to his, narrowed his eyes.

He asked in a low voice, "I’ve never heard of this company before."

Su Chen answered, "Chenyang kicked Chen Kai out, and he established Wanchen Company himself."

Mu Shaoci pondered for a moment and then signaled, "He is suspicious, look into him."

"Yes."

People came to congratulate Mu Shaoci, including Chen Kai.

Chen Kai said with a smile, "President Mu is truly generous. Congratulations on securing the land."

Looking at the extended hand, Mu Shaoci just looked at it, and everyone else did too.

Chen Kai could only retract his hand embarrassingly, then watched as Mu Shaoci imperiously left.

Mu Shaoci did not return to his company but went straight home.

He walked into his study and sat down in the executive chair, looking at the tender document in front of him, caressing the slightly wrinkled area from tear stains.

If he hadn’t been so observant, he wouldn’t have found it.

Who else could enter his house, guess the password, if not Shen Lu?

So, she leaked the bid’s bottom price.

She was a business spy planted by Chen Kai at his side.
