Chapter 275 You Polluted the Air
In the Munic.i.p.al Bureau.
Su Jianan came out of the dissection room. Jiang Shaokai entered the bathroom from the scene, when the hand sanitizer just bursted out of the foam.
He went out two hours ago. Generally speaking, he shouldn’t be coming back from the scene so soon. Jiang Shaokai looked even more surprised than her. He asked, “Jianan, why are you still here?”
“Where should I be?” Su Jianan smiled and asked, “something wrong with you after you went to the scene?”
Jiang Shaokai just handed the phone to her, saying, “Look at this news.”
—”Lu Enterprises acquisition failed, Su Enterprise was supported by mysterious investor, and returned to life”!
The news headline grabbed Su Jianan’s attention tightly, and every time she watched a line of news, she became more anxious.
“Lu Enterprises may suffer some loss this time,” Jiang Shaokai said. “Of course, to Lu Boyan, it means…”
Su Jianan returned the phone to Jiang Shaokai and went to ask Captain Yan for permission to leave without hearing him out. She stopped a taxi and went straight to Lu Enterprises. The several bodyguards responsible for protecting her almost didn’t realize it.
“Master, I am in a hurry.” She couldn’t help but urge the taxi driver, “can you drive faster?”
The master said, “It is already very fast!”
Really? Why did she still feel it was very slow?
She finally got to the Lu Enterprises building. Su Jianan rushed into the elevator like the wind, and the front desk receptionists almost didn’t recognize her.
Lu Boyan’s office door was almost knocked out by her. She stood there and looked at Lu Boyan behind his desk while gasping.
Lu Boyan had already gotten up and walked to Su Jianan. He couldn’t hide his confusion in his eyes. “Aren’t you working? Why are you here?”
“…I saw the news.”
Her voice was very light, as if unwilling to touch the subject that Lu Boyan was sad about. She had some softness in her eyes, as if she were being bullied.
Lu Boyan suddenly understood and touched her head. He said, “Silly.”
“Jiang Shaokai said… the company may suffer some losses…” Su Jianan asked very carefully, “are you okay?”
Lu Boyan raised his eyebrows. “Do you care about the company or do you care about me?”
“How do you still have a mood to make a joke?” Su Jianan grabbed Lu Boyan’s clothes and continued, “what is going on exactly? Isn’t the acquisition almost done?”
Lu Boyan told Su Jianan the truth and she couldn’t react for a long time. “The mysterious person on the news is Kang Ruicheng?”
The man who had hara.s.sed her seemed to have disappeared recently. Su Jianan had turned her attention in him from defensive to forgotten. Now remembering him again, Su Jianan suddenly had a very bad feeling…
“No matter who it is, for Lu Enterprises, it is just a merger and acquisition plan that has failed. The impact on the company is negligible,” Lu Boyan smiled and looked like he didn’t care much, “Jiang Shaokai did not tell you this?”
Su Jianan thought about it. ‘What Jiang Shaokai was trying to finish saying was this?’
She was embarra.s.sed. “I left without hearing him out…”
Lu Boyan gently wrapped his arms around Su Jianan’s waist, and the smile between his eyebrows reflected joy.
He bowed his head and kissed her. Then he said, “You are so nervous, I am very happy.”
Su Jianan: “…” Bad taste!
She still asked after hesitating, “Why is Kang Ruicheng investing in Su Enterprise? Is he… aiming for you?”
Lu Boyan saw Su Jianan for two seconds, and seemed to sigh. “Jianan, why are you so clever when you should be stupid?”
A bad hunch was confirmed, and Su Jianan’s heart was inexplicably tightened. “Why would Kang Ruicheng aim for you?”
She always felt that the reason for that was not simple…
And Lu Boyan’s eyes suddenly turning deep confirmed her guess.
He took her to the sofa. “There is a thing which happened a long time ago, and you need to know. I will tell you when I go home, okay?”
“…Okay.” Su Jianan nodded, sitting on the sofa and waiting for Lu Boyan.
It was already very close to get off work. Lu Boyan worked for another hour. When he left the company, it was exactly six o’clock. He proposed, “Let’s go back after having dinner.”
Su Jianan did not hurry to go home, and she had not eaten out with Lu Boyan in a long time, so she nodded. “Okay!”
Knowing that Su Jianan loved to taste new things, Lu Boyan took her to a new restaurant recommended by Shen Yuechuan.
Su Jianan liked the restaurant’s decor very much, and she put the purse on the chair. “You order first, I will wash my hands!”
Coming out of the washroom, she unexpectedly saw Kang Ruicheng standing in a long corridor.
He was still in a pure black trench coat, leaning against the wall, which was as white as snow. There was a little scarlet light between the fingers, the rising smoke somewhat blurred his handsome facial features, but was unable to hide his powerful temperament.
Su Jianan a.s.sociated him with the devil who ate people and did not spit the bones. She subconsciously retreated and put her hands into the pocket of her jacket, thinking that her little movements were well concealed.
Kang Ruicheng came over slowly, like a vampire getting closer to the young sweet blood step by step.
She suddenly grabbed Su Jianan’s hand and pulled it out. Stretching his two fingers into her pocket, he pinched her phone out.
The mobile phone had been unlocked, and Lu Boyan’s number was searched out. She could talk to Lu Boyan if she clicked on the dial—Su Jianan wanted to call Lu Boyan there.
Kang Ruicheng smiled very strangely. “Are you so afraid of me?”
“You overestimate yourself,” Su Jianan smiled slightly and said, “I just loathe you.”
“You actually didn’t even say that you hate me,” Kang Ruicheng was quite surprised, “It seems that Lu Boyan has not told you that.”
“…”
“It doesn’t matter, let me tell you.” Kang Ruicheng twisted Su Jianan’s palm with sudden strength as if he wanted to break her hand. “I will destroy Lu Enterprises, destroy Lu Boyan, and take away everything he has, including his love—you!”
Kang Ruicheng’s gaze was poisonous, cold and horrible. Su Jianan’s back was bursting with coldness, and she wanted to break away from his grasp.
But the more fear she showed, the happier Kang Ruicheng would be. So she pretended to be calm and smiled again. “You think you can compete with my husband by manipulating the Su Enterprise? Are you stupid or do you have no brains at all? Su Enterprise doesn’t deserve to be an opponent to Lu Enterprises!”
“I like how you act like this.” Kang Ruicheng did not feel anything, and stretched his rough hand to Su Jianan’s face. “You obviously are very scared and you pretend to act like nothing happened.”
Su Jianan didn’t learn Taekwondo for nothing and unexpectedly broke away from Kang Ruicheng’s hand. Kang Ruicheng was obviously stunned and she took the opportunity to avoid him and ran back to the dining hall.
Kang Ruicheng looked at her back and looked at the wrist that had just been hit by her. He brought it to his lips and kissed it gently—a more strange smile showed on his raised lips.
Su Jianan did not intend to conceal that from Lu Boyan that time. When she returned to her seat, she said to him, “I just met a person…”
Lu Boyan’s eyes deepened and he stared at the doorway, saying three syllables to Su Jianan, “Kang Ruicheng?”
Su Jianan subconsciously looked back. It turned out that Su Hongyuan came. He started to laugh so happily as if he were seeing his loved ones as soon as he walked in and saw Kang Ruicheng.
She put down the knife and fork with discontent. “I will not eat outside! There are always annoying people or those who are annoyed to see…”
Lu Boyan laughed, “Should we switch to another restaurant?”
“The dishes were already ordered, don’t switch.” Kang Ruicheng came over and said, “It’s rare for us to meet, how about eating together?”
Su Jianan pulled her lips, and she didn’t even want to fake a smile for him. “When you come in, the restaurant is polluted by something strange. If you like to eat where it smells funny, then suit yourself!” Then she took Lu Boyan’s hand to say, “Honey, let’s go.”
Until they went out of the restaurant, Su Jianan noticed the unspeakable smile on Lu Boyan’s face. She asked him with confusion, “What’s so funny?”
Lu Boyan did not answer, and held her hand as he asked, “Where do you want to go?”
Su Jianan looked at the sky and took a deep breath. She said, “I want to go home!”
Only at home, a place that only belonged to her and Lu Boyan. There would be no strange things mixed in.
In the end, they really bought ingredients and went home. Su Jianan cooked and Lu Boyan gave her a hand. She simply made two dishes and a soup. After eating happily, it was almost nine o’clock.
Su Jianan sorted out the wardrobe to digest the meal. Lu Boyan stood by and watched her being busy; her slim figure became the most beautiful scenery in his eyes.
Seeing that Su Jianan was almost done, Lu Boyan grabbed her to take a bath, and they spent a long time in the bathroom. Su Jianan finally remembered the business and put his hands on Lu Boyan’s shoulder. “You still have something to tell me!”
Lu Boyan wiped the water drops on Su Jianan’s hair. “Take a shower first.”
Su Jianan took a shower at the fastest speed and went back to the room, seeing Lu Boyan sitting on the bed, not reading the doc.u.ments nor the books. He rarely acted like this.
She laid beside him and hugged his arm. “Okay, tell me!”
After a long silence, she finally heard Lu Boyan’s voice. “Do you still remember that my father had pa.s.sed away, not long before you met me?”
“Yes,” Su Jianan nodded and said, “at that time, my mother told me that your father had left unexpectedly. I also tried so hard to cheer you up, but you simply ignored me!”
In fact, he didn’t mean to ignore her, but at the time, Lu Boyan did not have that mood at all.
It was a long silence. Lu Boyan slowly said, “My father’s death is not as simple as an accident. It was murder.”
Su Jianan felt as if she were hit by something. She suddenly looked up at Lu Boyan, as if she could not understand the word, so she repeated it, “Murder?”
Lu Boyan pressed his lips. Su Jianan had not had that feeling for a long time; she could not understand him.
His eyes were as deep as the dark night sky; there was only the boundless emptiness, and it was bottomless. Even if the whole world looked up, no one could understand his gaze.
Under such deepness, something was surging, and he was using all his strength to suppress it.
Su Jianan finally understood. It was pain.
Her heart seemed to be stabbed with a knife, and had a sharp pain. She hugged Lu Boyan. “Don’t think about it, I don’t want to listen. Let’s go to sleep…”
“Jianan, I planned to hide this from you all the time,” Lu Boyan said, “but now, you need to know.”
Kang Ruicheng was coming for him, for Lu Enterprises and even for Su Jianan. She was sometimes too simple. He needed her to know what kind of person Kang Ruicheng was, and how much destructive power he had.
