Chapter 77: Lu Chen and Kane

in of ice water was poured over Jian Tong’s head, leaving her completely numb and devoid of energy. Her ears buzzed, and she looked up, her vacant eyes fixated on the man who sat on the sofa like a go...She was crazy, Jian Tong knew it herself.

But at this moment, in Shen Xiuqin's eyes, she was stunning, even more stunning than Jian Tong three years ago... This, she didn't know!

"You said."

She's not afraid of losing anything because she has nothing to lose!

"I want..." Shen Xiujin said, a little lost, and suddenly, his voice stopped abruptly!

His expression changed, and he glanced at the woman coolly: "What can you offer me"

He has always been rational, cold and distant. How could he, just let a woman disrupt his composure so easily

My grandfather’s words, they still ring in my ears. He said, when someone appears who can influence your emotions, your decisions, then don't hesitate, take them out yourself.

Jian Tong slumped... A-Lu, A-Lu, I'm still so useless.

Why

“Why is that, General Shen To you, I'm already worthless. You could let me go with a simple gesture, just like releasing an animal, so easy, so effortless. Why can't you just let me go”

She slumped, "If you hate me, I've already served three years in prison and lost everything. What do you mean by keeping me"

Shen Xiujin chuckled softly: “Jian Tong, three years is a long time Three years, a human life, which one gets the better end of the deal Of course I'll keep you, keep you, and slowly torture you until you repay the life debt you owe.”

Even if I were willing to let you go, have you considered that Summer Butler is so old and only has Wei Ming as her relative

How could I possibly let you go so easily How would I explain this to Xia Guanjia

Jian Tong fell silent, her head bowed. Shen Xiuqin frowned. The despair that had just illuminated her features, like a fleeting flower, vanished without a trace, replaced by the timid and shrinking woman he found so unsettling.

"Mr. Shen," Just as Shen Xiujin reached out to her, Jian Tong suddenly raised her head: "Mr. Shen, you said that as long as I earn five million in the card within a month, you won't interfere with whether I stay or leave.

"Mr. Shen, you are the head of the Shen family in S city. Your word is your bond, and you never go back on your promise, right"

No matter what, she still had to try... otherwise, she'd owe Alou a debt until her next life.

The girl said she had never been to Erhai Lake. She wanted to open a guesthouse by the side of Erhai Lake...and then, she closed her eyes and never opened them again.

Jian Tong was waiting for Shen Xiuqin's reply, waiting for Shen Xiuqin to make a decision.

But at this moment, Shen Xiujin’s heart was filled with anger...This woman's determination to leave him was so strong!

A nameless fire surged within my heart, yet my eyes remained cold: "Of course. But I remind you, a month's time is not much."

In his mind, Su Meng had already assigned the task and he didn't believe this woman could get 5 million from anywhere.

Don't say that the number is five million, even if it was just five hundred bucks, starting today, she has absolutely nothing.

Hearing this, Jian Tong's mouth twitched in secret relief. It was just that every move she made, even the smallest gesture, was seen by the man in front of her.

Shen Xiujin's long and narrow phoenix eyes glistened with sarcasm...

He stretched out his long legs, went around to the other side of the sofa, picked up the financial magazine from the table, and as he sat down, delivered a thinly veiled dismissal:

"Get out."

Jian Tong didn't want to stay here either.

She got up from the sofa and walked toward the elevator, unaware that a pair of deep eyes had been watching her all along until she stepped into the elevator.

At the moment the elevator door closed, Jian Tong glanced at Shen Xiujin in the living room. The man calmly began reading a magazine without even looking up.

He lowered his eyes.

……

Lu Group

Lu Chen glanced at the man sitting on the sofa in his office: "You seem to be in a very good mood recently."

Of course, I encountered a very interesting prey.

"Kane," Lu Chen put down the documents in his hand and looked at the man on the sofa, saying very seriously, "Don't go any further. There's nothing fun about this."

"No, no, no, Achen. You don't know that hunting is a very elegant sport."

"If hunting is truly that enjoyable, why have you replaced your prey one by one all these years"

Cain raised his finger and wagged it back and forth. "No, no, no. The fun of the hunt is in watching your prey, piece by piece, being hunted. I enjoy the process. The process, you understand My Asher."

Lu Chen instinctively frowned, "I don't have your kind of sick sense of humor."

"Yes, yes, yes, your heart only has Anran, how..." Kane suddenly hissed, "Sorry, Ash."

The cold glint in Lu Chen's eyes gradually subsided.

"From now on, don't mention her again."

Lu Chen said lightly.

Lu Chen, this isn't good, really not good. Living in the past, you won't be able to move on.

"I wasn't looking to come out," Lu Chen said indifferently. "Alright, go hunt your new prey."

It was clear that Lu Chen didn't want to continue this topic with Kane.

"Haha," Caine chuckled, glancing out the window before looking at his wristwatch again. "Hmm~ it's still early, she hasn't started work yet."

Lu Chen seemed to have grasped a key point: "Not working... what does that mean" He also glanced at the time - 3:37 PM.

This time, it's supposed to be work hours. Even if she had left early, it shouldn't be "she hasn't started work yet."

"Oh, that interesting new prey. She works at the entertainment club." That was evening.

A thought flashed across Lu Chen's mind for a fleeting moment, but he didn't have time to grasp it before it vanished.

Shaking my head... probably a little tired lately.

Lu Chen rubbed his temples, "However, I don't find these women from entertainment venues very interesting."

"No, no, no, she's very interesting, the most interesting woman I've ever met, without a doubt. Asher, I just had a great idea. I'm not going to the entertainment club."

"Oh… so you're giving up on your new prey then"

Of course not, with his understanding of Kane's character, this guy would never willingly give up on a target he had his eyes on until... the hunt was successful.

"No, no, no, I just think going to the club to find her isn't as good an idea as what I just thought of. Yes, yes, that's it." He said this as if answering Lu Chen, but also as if talking to himself.

Lu Chen had gotten used to it, he just furrowed his brow. Some words, when they reached his lips, he would swallow them back down. Because he understood Kane's past, so some things were difficult to say to him.

"Achen, I'm leaving first."

"Hmm."

When Kane grasped the doorknob of the office, Lu Chen's heart skipped a beat, and he sighed, "Ai..."

"Kane, sometimes, some things should just be left alone. They hurt both parties involved."

"What are you saying, I don't understand."

Lu Chen shook his head. “No, you understand what I mean. I’m saying… if one day, fate is such a coincidence, the prey you have your eye on happens to be the most important woman in your life, what would you do then”

"That's impossible," Caine said, and he opened the door and left the office.ound, doing nothing, he understood—this was a one-on-one duel between two bosses. Both sides didn't need their subordinates to join in a brawl.Thus, a standoff was formed between Lu Ming's men and the...
