Chapter 327 - 327: Where Is She Going?
After pondering for a moment, Lin Shanchu added., “Please help me settle this matter as soon as possible, Lawyer Chu.”
The way Chu Gushen looked at Lin Shanchu changed as he said, “Alright.”
Lin Shanchu knew that Chu Gushen might have misunderstood something, so she explained, “I’m going to work in another city in the next few days, so I won’t be in Xu City for a while.”
Chu Gushen nodded slightly to show that he understood.
Lin Shanchu walked Chu Gushen to the elevator and watched the elevator doors closed before she turned around to leave.
In the elevator, Chu Gushen sighed regretfully.
He really wanted to tell Huo Xunzhou about Lin Shanchu’s will.
If Huo Xunzhou did not die in front of Lin Shanchu in this life, he would be furious because those shares would still return to him in the end!
Unfortunately, he was a professional person and could not do such a thing.
Lin Shanchu returned to the living room and saw Qi Cheng.
Qi Cheng heard the commotion and looked up at her. “He Xiang went to cook.”
Lin Shanchu nodded. Then, she sat down in front of Qi Cheng and sized him up seriously.
Qi Cheng was leaning against the sofa. He lowered his eyes slightly and clasped his hands in front of him, looking a little down.
“Brother Qi, Lu Shiyuan’s matter won’t be settled just like that.”
Before Chu Gushen came, Qi Cheng was still fine. He must have thought of Jing Ming when he heard Chu Gushen mention Lu Shiyuan.
Qi Cheng looked at her in surprise.
“Lu Shiyuan is not someone who will resign to his fate. Even if Chu Gushen helps me win the lawsuit, it is impossible for him to turn over a new leaf in prison. Moreover, he doesn’t deserve a chance to start over again.”
Lin Shanchu’s tone was casual and soft. Her calm demeanor made her look unusually gentle and harmless.
Qi Cheng had been her manager for so long that he already knew her personality, but sometimes he was still confused by her harmless appearance.
“But the evidence is gone,” Qi Cheng said with solemn look on his face.
Lin Shanchu replied with a faint smile, “As long as Lu Shiyuan is alive, these things won’t be over.”
“Shanshan…” Qi Cheng’s heart skipped a beat as he vaguely heard the strangeness in Lin Shanchu’s words. “You…”
Lin Shanchu calmly changed the topic. “I have something to deal with during the day tomorrow. We can book tickets for the night and fly directly to Capital City.”
Qi Cheng wanted to say something, but Lin Shanchu had gotten up and was walking towards the kitchen.
“He Xiang, how much longer before we can eat? I’m hungry…”
The next day, Lin Shanchu finished dealing with the will and went to Tianzhou Media.
When they were about to reach Tianzhou Media, Qi Cheng called Nan Mu.
After Qi Cheng had a simple conversation with Nan Mu, he hung up the phone and turned to Lin Shanchu. “President Huo is not in the company.”
Lin Shanchu heaved a sigh of relief and tried to sound as if she did not care about it. “Oh.”
Qi Cheng looked at her with a faint smile and did not say anything.
When they arrived at Tianzhou Media, Qi Cheng deliberately walked behind Lin
Shanchu and asked He Xiang, “What’s going on between Shanshan and
President Huo?”
“I don’t know.” He Xiang said solemnly, “After Sister Lin went to look for Teacher Huo on that day, she asked Wen Huan out for a drink.”
“She went out for a drink?” Qi Cheng caught the key point in her words.
He Xiang realized that it was a slip of the tongue, so she quickly pulled Qi Cheng and said, “Brother Qi, hear me out. Sister Lin didn’t drink much at that time, but Wen Huan was drunk until he passed out.”
Qi Cheng’s expression softened a little and he pointed at He Xiang’s head. “Don’t you know how to manage her? Don’t give in to her!” “How can I manage her?” He Xiang asked helplessly.
Qi Cheng was speechless.
Nan Mu heard Lin Shanchu’s plan and frowned slightly. “You are going to leave at night? Why are you in such a hurry?”
“I’ve rested for too long,” Lin Shanchu explained.
“That’s true.” Nan Mu was very pleased with Lin Shanchu’s positive attitude and said, “Then let’s have dinner together tonight. I won’t see you off when you leave. Xunzhou will see you off anyway.”
Lin Shanchu glanced at Qi Cheng.
Qi Cheng understood her intention and said, “The flight is at 8:00 p.m. There’s no time for dinner. We still have to go back and pack our things.”
“That’s fine. Xunzhou knows more people in Capital City than I do. Just look for him if you ever need a favor!” Nan Mu fell silent for a moment before he continued, ‘You can look for Huo Chaosheng if you have no other choice.”
Even though Huo Chaosheng was a little weird, he still treated Lin Shanchu well.
Lin Shanchu smiled and nodded. “Got it. Thank you, Director Nan.”
Lin Shanchu and the others packed their things and set off for the airport at 5:00 p.m.
Lin Shanchu took the lead and got into the car.
Qi Cheng and He Xiang were pushing and shoving each other outside the car as they muttered something.
“Say it.”
“I’m not going to. You should say it!”
“How about we decide it through rock-paper-scissors?”
“Alright!”
He Xiang lost.
She resigned herself to her fate and turned around to get into the car. Then, she asked Lin Shanchu cautiously, “Sister Lin, are you really not going to tell Teacher Huo?”
Lin Shanchu, who was humming a song and in a good mood, froze before she said, “…I’m not going to tell him.”
He Xiang turned to look at Qi Cheng.
“Let’s hurry up. There’s going to be a traffic jam later.” Qi Cheng quickly opened the car door and got into the car.
Nan Mu had a dinner party at Yong Shui Pavilion tonight.
When he went to the restroom, he remembered that Lin Shanchu was going to fly to Capital City tonight. He was about to call her to check on the situation, but he saw that it was already close to 8:00 p.m.
They had probably boarded the plane by now.
Nan Mu made a call and indeed heard a mechanical female voice.
“Sorry, the number you have dialed is switched off.”
Nan Mu hung up the phone. He saw Huo Xunzhou in the hall when he was going to return to the private room.
Huo Xunzhou was accompanied by Li MO and Chu Gushen who was sitting opposite him.
“Xunzhou?” Nan Mu walked over and nodded at Chu Gushen before asking Huo Xunzhou, “Why are you here?”
The airport was quite far from Yong Shui Pavilion, and it took nearly two hours to drive for an one-way trip.
Logically speaking, Huo Xunzhou should have been on his way back from the airport.
“What do you mean?” Huo Xunzhou asked calmly.
Nan Mu did not realize what the problem was at this point, so he asked blankly, ‘You didn’t see Shanshan off?”
Huo Xunzhou fell silent for a moment before he slowly asked, “Where is she going?
Huo Xunzhou stopped talking and narrowed his eyes so that Nan Mu could not see the expression in his eyes.
However, judging from Nan Mu’s years of experience with him, Huo Xunzhou probably did not know that Lin Shanchu was going to Capital City tonight.
“Everyone else is waiting for me. I’ll return to the private room first…” Nan Mu saw that the situation was unfavorable and wanted to take the opportunity to escape.
“Did she look for you before she went to Capital City?” Huo Xunzhou asked.
“Yes.” Nan Mu dared not say that Lin Shanchu had gone to the office to tell him about it.
Huo Xunzhou did not say anything else. Then, Nan Mu turned around and ran away.
Li MO carefully observed Huo Xunzhou’s expression and dared not say a word. He just silently picked up some food and ate it.
Chu Gu, who was holding a grudge, looked at Huo Xunzhou and deliberately provoked him.. “What’s wrong? Don’t you know that Miss Lin is going to Capital City?”
