As soon as Shen Jian returned to her room, her watch lit up again.
She knew that her location had been exposed when she was at Fubi, so in the end, she pressed the watch and chose the video call option.
The projection on the wall showed the same girl as last time.
"A, guess where I am?"
In the video, Xia Liang was carrying a black backpack and walking on a pitch - black street. There was no one around, and it was extremely quiet.
As soon as she asked this question, Shen Jian had already guessed her location.
"Does the professor know you're coming to find me?"
Seeing that Shen Jian guessed it right away, Xia Liang pouted, "It's so boring."
As she spoke, she kicked her legs boredly. Suddenly, her eyes lit up as she stared at Shen Jian, "You were the one who pulled the strings at Fubi, weren't you? It was so cool! You saved thousands of girls!"
Shen Jian twirled the pen tip absent - mindedly and lazily lifted her eyelids, "Does the professor know you're back in the country?"
"He doesn't know. Anyway, now that you've left, the project has come to a halt. Staying abroad is useless for me. I might as well come back and be your cash machine."
Shen Jian's lazy expression changed slightly. She rarely showed a smile, "Since you're already here, take care of your own business these days. I'll come to find you in a few days."
"Okay!"
Xia Liang nodded like a little rabbit, with a soft and cute expression, "Goodbye, Master!"
Afraid that Shen Jian would correct her address, she immediately hung up the video.
Shen Jian was immediately amused, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Xia Liang was a real little heiress. Her family was the richest in Shencheng.
However, she was the youngest member of the team. With a very high IQ, she entered the research center at the age of sixteen and then passed layer - upon - layer of assessments to enter the Tianji Team.
Xia Liang had always been very attached to Shen Jian. In front of outsiders, she always called her by her code name, but in private, she always called her Master and would follow her wherever she went.
This time, coming to find her must also be a private action.
Shen Jian raised her eyebrows slightly. She thought the professor must be extremely anxious by now.
At this moment, He Yu, who had been investigating Shen Jian, had transferred all the information he had obtained to Lu Jinsheng.
He even found out the address where she was currently living, but the information before she was ten years old was a bit blurry and impossible to find no matter how hard he tried.
Lu Jinsheng pursed his lips, "This is strange."
"The forces behind her are terribly powerful. The person who can wipe out someone's past completely without leaving a single trace is definitely not an ordinary person."
When these words came out of He Yu's mouth, even he himself was surprised. After all, this girl didn't look very old. He couldn't figure out how she could have such a powerful background.
Lu Jinsheng casually turned off the computer. His tone was a bit solemn, "She has something very important in her hand. We must get it. I want to see her tomorrow, at any cost."
He Yu nodded, "Understood!"
When He Yu brought people to the door, Shen Suqing and her husband almost wanted to kneel on the ground and beg for their lives.
The two thought it was the people from Brother Liang coming to settle the score. They cried and said they knew nothing.
This commotion disturbed Shen Jian.
She appeared in front of He Yu in a simple T - shirt and jeans, looking extremely impatient. She glanced at the two bodyguards behind him.
They were over 1.9 meters tall. Under their black suits were bulging muscles. It seemed they were here to pick a fight.
Fighting one against three would be a bit strenuous, but she could still handle it easily.
But who were these people?
Unexpectedly, He Yu turned his gaze to Shen Suqing, "How much for the deal?"
Deal? What deal?
Shen Suqing's face turned deathly pale. She was so scared that she waved her hands hurriedly, "No... we don't..."
Before she could finish her sentence, when she met Shen Jian's gaze, she became even more panicked. But she was quick - witted enough to immediately receive Shen Jian's message.
It meant for her to continue the negotiation.
She forced out a smile that was uglier than crying, "Why don't you come in and talk?"
He Yu followed her in, and the bodyguards waited outside.
"Are you from Brother Liang's side?"
Yu Hang immediately poured a glass of water for him. He Yu nodded politely and didn't deny it. He just glanced at Shen Jian.
"How much to take her with us?"
Shen Jian frowned slightly. Before Shen Suqing and her husband could speak, she made a sign language gesture.
She looked a bit scared.
He Yu felt like laughing inside. A few days ago, she was still full of energy, fighting in groups and teaching people a lesson. Today, she had become a mute. This girl was so interesting.
Shen Suqing felt like dying. What on earth was this evil spirit up to? It was making it impossible for her to cope!
A lot of sweat dripped from her forehead.
"This girl is mute. What can you do with her? Please spare us..."
Then she saw Shen Jian's warning look. She gasped and immediately made a number with her hand. She said carefully, "F... fifty million."
"I'll give you one billion. From now on, we've bought this girl."
The couple's eyes lit up. They could hardly believe it. But after seeing Shen Jian nod slightly, they immediately agreed.
"Deal!"
Shen Jian got in the car with He Yu. At first, she pretended to resist, but later she followed He Yu meekly. Tears hung on her eyelashes, looking pitiful.
Shen Suqing was extremely happy to see this Yama off. She thought she had finally got rid of Shen Jian.
The couple hugged each other tightly, with tears in their eyes, "Let's cash the check and leave here immediately. We'll go abroad to live so that Shen Jian can never find us again!"
Shen Suqing very much agreed with Yu Hang's plan. Because she had sold Shen Weiting back then, now Shen Jian was taking revenge on her. There would be more means in the future. She had to run away quickly!
"Okay, let's pack our things now!"
...
Lu Jinsheng received a phone call and then asked the driver to prepare the car to go to the Lu family villa.
The servants were lined up in two rows at the door to welcome him. Lu Jinsheng slowly got out of the car, took off his sunglasses and casually threw them to the butler standing at the front.
His expression was very cold, like an ice cellar in winter. A chill came over, making people not dare to look at him directly for too long.
Lu Jinsheng walked through the crowd towards the hall. The Lu family members had already gathered. There were more than a dozen of them, from his eldest uncle to his youngest uncle. Everyone was chatting and laughing, talking about business matters.
Lu Jinsheng exchanged a few simple greetings, greeted these elders, and then walked directly to Lu Ziqian's side.
"You were in such a hurry to call me back. What's the matter?"
His voice was very cold, and so was his expression. But if you looked closely, there was disdain for this family hidden in his eyes. His gaze swept across the crowd, and he sneered again, "All the Lu family members are here. It seems you've come prepared."
Lu Ziqian had no way to deal with his son. He knew his son hated him. Over the years, he had made many concessions, but his son didn't appreciate it at all.
"Today is just an internal meeting to discuss your marriage."
