Chapter 374 To Consume Energy
In the afternoon, Su Jianan received a call from Lu Boyan, who said he would play ball with Shen Yuechuan after work.
When he returned in the evening, he was indeed in sportswear, and there was still sweat on the hair on his forehead.
Lu Boyan had mysophobia. Su Jianan knew that the first thing he would do was take a bath when he got back. She went to the cloakroom to get him clothes. When she gave them to him, she asked, “What do you think of playing today?”
Lu Boyan remembered that when he arrived at the company this morning, he met Shen Yuechuan at the door.
Shen Yuechuan always looked casual on normal days and didn’t care about anything. In fact, nothing could escape from his eyes.
As soon as he entered the elevator, he came over. “You’ve been having some tough days, haven’t you? Seeing what you look like, it’s typical dissatisfaction!”
“…”
If the elevator door wasn’t closed, Lu Boyan might have kicked Shen Yuechuan a few kilometers away so that he could eat a mouthful of mud.
Shen Yuechuan turned a blind eye to Lu Boyan’s gloomy face, and patted him on the shoulder sympathetically. “In the evening, I asked someone to play at the clubhouse on top of the mountain. You should also come and use up some energy. After all… the days are long.”
The implication was that he still had a lot to suffer!
After work, Lu Boyan did go.
He didn’t know if Shen Yuechuan had intentionally called the professional tennis players of the city team to come and play with them. They couldn’t handle them easily and exhausted almost all their physical strength.
Su Jianan rarely saw Lu Boyan be distracted, so she poked his arm. “What are you thinking? So you didn’t just simply play, right?”
“Yuechuan called over the professional players of the city team. What else could I do besides play?” Lu Boyan took the clothes and glanced at Su Jianan. “But I really just wanted to use up some energy.”
“…”
As the sound of water came from the room, Su Jianan stood outside the door, thinking about the ambiguous look of Boyan and what he said: “I really just wanted to use up some energy…”
Thinking about what happened last night, it was not difficult to understand what Lu Boyan meant.
Su Jianan’s face became red instantly.
The next day would be the weekend, and Su Jianan was going to do a second routine checkup.
Lu Boyan got up early in the morning and was very excited. It didn’t look like he had used up a lot of energy yesterday. As Su Jianan was being slow, he gently urged her to hurry up.
Su Jianan finally couldn’t help wondering. “I’m just going to be examined, not to see the doctor. Why are you anxious?”
Lu Boyan became serious. “I want to see if my daughter has grown up.”
Su Jianan: “…”
Today, the temperature was a bit low. Su Jianan wore enough to keep warm before going out. She found that in addition to the car that Uncle Qian drove, there were four others.
If she hadn’t guessed wrong, the so-called bodyguards were in the four cars.
“Why take so many people?” Su Jianan herself had been scared by it, not to mention others.
Lu Boyan said briefly, “For safety.”
Su Jianan could not refute, and upon getting in the car, the five cars started almost at the same time, then headed for the private hospital.
The examinations had been arranged in advance, but before each examination, the people brought by Lu Boyan would go in to confirm if the environment was safe, and the examining doctors also had to be confirmed to be those from the hospital, even the director.
They had probably never seen such a scene, so the nurses in the hospital were all curious. Su Jianan felt unnatural when she was looked at, and she walked carefully next to Lu Boyan to try to reduce her sense of existence.
After everything was confirmed to be OK, Su Jianan went in and started the checkup.
The door of the examination room slowly closed, and the dean made a “please” gesture to the Lu Boyan. “The examination will take some time. Boss Lu, will you go to the lounge first?”
The dean personally led Lu Boyan there.
When pa.s.sing by the fire escape, Lu Boyan seemed to be aware of something. He paused suddenly and covered his body with a chill.
The director turned back in doubt. “Boss Lu, what’s wrong?”
Lu Boyan said, “You go on ahead, I have something to deal with.”
The dean could not ask more, so he nodded and said, “Okay. If you need anything, you can have someone go to my office to find me.”
When the dean entered the elevator, Lu Boyan pushed open the door of the firefighting access, and he said with a cold voice, “Kang Ruicheng, do you really need to sneak up now?”
Kang Ruicheng’s figure appeared from behind the door. He held a cigarette in his hand and looked at Lu Boyan meaningfully. “The professional bodyguards you brought didn’t find me, but you found me first. Lu Boyan, if you said that you have only been dealing with Lu Enterprises all these years, I really wouldn’t believe it.”
“Whether you believe it or not, it doesn’t matter to me.” Lu Boyan looked at Kang Ruicheng coldly. “What are you doing here?”
“I wanted to test you.” Kang Ruicheng took a puff of the cigarette, his smile even colder than the grey smoke. “You did not let me down.”
Lu Boyan’s deep eyes revealed a murderous coldness. “I know what you are working on, and you cannot get the chance.”
Over the past 10 years, he had been keeping his eye on Kang Ruicheng, and he was very clear about his means. He could not force Jianan to divorce him, so in order to make him suffer, he would completely destroy Jianan.
That was why he was careful everywhere. Otherwise, if he missed it and let Su Jianan fall into the hands of Kang Ruicheng, he could not imagine the consequences.
“I have no chance? Are you sure you are not overestimating yourself?” Kang Ruicheng took two steps toward Lu Boyan. “I know where your confidence comes from. You and Mu Sijue and the a.s.sistant who have been working secretly for you… I’ll get rid of all of you together. But you can rest a.s.sured that when Su Jianan falls into my hands, I won’t let you see her. Instead, I will let you watch and keep you watching how I torture her.”
Lu Boyan was almost certain that Kang Ruicheng did not know that Su Jianan had found Hong Qing.
He twitched his lips slightly, his smile filled with teasing. “Kang Ruicheng, you have been in the Golden Triangle for so many years, you didn’t build some skills, but you are more and better at dreaming.”
“…”
“If you’re sure you can beat eight people, then stay here.”
After speaking, Lu Boyan turned around and there were three guards at the entrance of the examination room, and the other five were scattered elsewhere.
They saw Lu Boyan returning and looked at each other. The captain asked, “Is there something wrong?”
“Kang Ruicheng is in the firefighters’ access.”
As soon as Lu Boyan’s finished, someone was about to rush over. Lu Boyan stopped him and said, “He’s gone.”
Lu Boyan took them in case they would run into Kang Ruicheng, but Kang Ruicheng was in the firefighters’ pa.s.sageway, less than 20 meters away, but they did not find him.
Although Lu Boyan was not angry, both the captain and the team members knew that if there was such a low-level omission next time, they would never have to appear in front of Lu Boyan.
“I will ask them to be more vigilant,” the captain said.
Lu Boyan didn’t say anything. Kang Ruicheng was apparently alone, which meant that he had no intention of doing something today, so it didn’t matter if they were vigilant or not.
Five minutes later, Su Jianan came out of the examination room and saw the three bodyguards outside the door looking serious, then she looked at Lu Boyan again, who appeared normal.
The nurse instructed Su Jianan to go forward. “Mrs. Lu, let’s go to the 6th floor, where the remaining examination tasks are.”
The doctor and nurse walked ahead, and the captain took the other two to confirm if the environment was safe. Su Jianan and Lu Boyan walked slowly and were some distance from the people ahead.
Su Jianan had always been careful and thoughtful, but still felt that the atmosphere outside was abnormal when she came out, so she asked Lu Boyan, “What happened just now?”
“It’s normal.” In order not to arouse Su Jianan’s anxiety, Lu Boyan decided to deceive her. Then he asked casually, “Why do you suddenly ask that?”
Su Jianan pointed to the bodyguard who was walking in front. “When I came out just now, they looked so serious.”
Lu Boyan said calmly, “Seriousness is the professionalism of a bodyguard.”
“…” Su Jianan could not refute that.
The two men went up to the 6th floor without delay. The captain said that the environment was safe. Lu Boyan went in to confirm it, and then left Su Jianan there.
After coming out, Lu Boyan directly called Mu Sijue.
Kang Ruicheng dared to say that he would get rid of Mu Sijue in front of him not because he was confident in himself, but in the undercover agent that he had sent to Mu Sijue.
Kang Ruicheng dared to tell Su Jianan about the undercover agent, which showed that Kang Ruicheng was not afraid of them knowing it. But he just told Su Jianan, maybe because this undercover agent had a relationship with Su Jianan. Looking at Su Jianan being confused and helpless, just as Su Jianan said, Kang Ruicheng would get a pathological satisfaction.
The call was quickly connected, and Mu Sijue’s light voice came to him. “It’s not easy to have a weekend, shouldn’t you be with your wife? Why do you call me?”
“You said that there was an undercover agent suspect. Are you sure?”
Mu Sijue was silent for a moment before saying, “Yes.”
“Who is it?”
This time, Mu Sijue did not speak for a long time.
Lu Boyan was more affirmed about his conjecture in his heart, and slowly said the name, “Xu Youning?”
Mu Sijue seemed to be relieved. “I’m afraid Jianan can’t accept it, so I didn’t tell you.”
If Su Jianan knew this, it would really be unacceptable to her.
Because of Grandma Xu, Su Jianan had always regarded Xu Youning as a friend, and also worried that the undercover agent sent by Kang Ruicheng would hurt Xu Youning.
But in the end, Xu Youning was the undercover agent, and she had personally sent Xu Youning to Mu Sijue.
“Were those materials found by Xu Youning and handed over to Kang Ruicheng?” Lu Boyan’s voice had revealed a deep chill.
“Yes,” Mu Sijue said, “if it weren’t for me finding out that Xu Youning was searching for these materials, I would never have suspected her.”
“What are you going to do with her?”
“I…”
Mu Sijue stopped talking. Lu Boyan had known him for so many years, and it was the first time he had seen him like this.
Lu Boyan had realized something, but did not want to expose it, so he only said, “Whatever you want to do with Xu Youning, remember that you can’t hurt her grandmother.”
Xu Youning’s grandmother was a very important person to Su Jianan and Su Yicheng. Lu Boyan believed that Mu Sijue would not be so angry as to blame an old woman, but it was about Su Jianan, so he had to remind him of that.
Mu Sijue seemed to laugh bitterly. “Even if Xu Youning is the undercover agent, I will not be so mad that I will attack the elderly in her family.”
“Also,” Lu Boyan said, “if you can, help me hide it from Jianan forever.”
Su Jianan knew that the world was full of sinister people who violated the law and did wrong, but she always believed that the people around her were kind.
The fact that Xu Youning was an undercover agent of Kang Ruicheng would not only destroy her trust in the people around her, but also directly hurt her.
Lu Boyan did not want Su Jianan to suffer such injuries.
