In the study.
Lu Jinsheng was having a video call with Mo Yun. There was news about the Mandala Sea that he had asked Mo Yun to investigate for him.
Mo Yun sent all the materials he had at hand to Lu Jinsheng. After Lu Jinsheng read them carefully, he finally summarized the results.
It seemed that the situation in the Mandala Sea had been unstable recently. Mo Yun asked puzzledly, "Mr. Lu, are you planning to go there?"
This question really hit Lu Jinsheng's heart. He was still considering it. The Mandala Sea was in a complete mess. There were almost all kinds of people there.
Moreover, he didn't have an invitation letter this time. Since the invitation letter had been given to Lu Weiran, it meant that the mysterious person didn't intend to let him go.
The person must have had some purpose for avoiding him. Lu Jinsheng sneered, "Of course—"
Before he could finish his words, there came a knock on the door. Immediately afterwards, he heard a woman's soft voice, "Jinsheng, are you in there?"
"I'm here." Lu Jinsheng glanced at the video call, gave the other person a few instructions, and then quickly hung up the phone.
He closed his laptop, got up, and opened the door. Seeing the woman outside wearing a silk nightgown with her smooth and delicate skin exposed in front of his eyes, Lu Jinsheng curled his lips and said, "The dress is very nice. I like it."
Hearing this, Shen Jian stretched out her hand to hook the man's chin, then slid it down, and finally grabbed his tie and pulled it hard. The man leaned forward.
"Do you like the dress or me?"
Looking at the charming little vixen in front of him, Lu Jinsheng's eyes were full of desire. He directly pulled the woman into his arms.
The moment their cold lips touched, Shen Jian could feel the wildness from the man.
Every time she took a step back, the man would take a step forward. Just like this, they walked from the study to the bedroom.
He was very greedy. He even wanted to melt her completely into his bones.
That night, accompanied by the moonlight, the man's breath was disordered, and Shen Jian spent the night in his arms.
...
When Shen Jian opened her eyes again, it was already noon the next day. She dragged her exhausted body and sat up on the bed. Looking at the bruises all over her body, she sighed helplessly.
She reached out her hand to feel for her watch under the pillow. After looking at the time, she started to contact Xia Liang.
Xia Liang's smiling face popped out from the watch. "Master, you finally contacted me."
Looking at Shen Jian's sleepy look and her drowsy eyes, Xia Liang frowned and asked in disbelief, "Master, don't tell me you just woke up."
She nodded and said, "Yes."
"..." Xia Liang twitched the corners of her mouth. It was already noon. Sure enough, the life of a rich man's wife was really good. Unlike her, she still had to work hard in the company.
However, Xia Liang didn't have time to think about that now. She had more explosive news to tell Shen Jian.
"Do you still remember that there's a new person in the organization?" Xia Liang asked while looking at the documents.
"Remember. What's wrong with her?"
Xia Liang looked up with a serious expression. "Just now, the professor sent a task. He asked me to go to the Mandala Sea to attend the banquet openly. He asked the new person to protect me secretly and help me with the investigation."
Hearing this, Shen Jian frowned slightly. "Lu Jinsheng didn't receive an invitation letter, so we're not qualified to go. Moreover, if the organization sends someone there, I can't go with you."
Doing so would only expose the relationship between the two of them. Shen Jian would never do that. It would only put Xia Liang in danger.
Xia Liang was also a little anxious. She scratched the back of her head with a troubled look on her face. "Then what should you do now? You can't go secretly, right?"
"I have my own way. You don't have to think too much about it."
Just when Shen Jian was about to say something, there suddenly came a noise outside. It seemed to be Lu Jinsheng's voice.
"Let's hang up first. Contact me immediately if there's any news."
Without waiting for the other person to answer, Shen Jian directly turned off the watch and put it on her wrist.
If she heard correctly just now, Lu Jinsheng's voice seemed very angry. She put on her shoes, draped a cloak over her shoulders, and then walked out lazily.
She stood on the corridor and looked down. She saw Lu Jinsheng sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed, holding a document in his hand. She didn't know what was written on the document, but judging from his expression, it seemed very serious.
Standing beside him was Uncle Li. He had his hands behind his back. It was obvious that he was very nervous.
Lu Jinsheng tried his best to suppress his anger and said in a slightly calmer tone, "If you can't even handle such a thing well, what's the use of you?"
Uncle Li immediately bowed and apologized. "I'm sorry, Mr. Lu. I didn't expect the old master to stop me halfway."
Last night, Lu Jinsheng sent Uncle Li out to find Lin Zhirou and offer them conditions. He asked Uncle Li to take the document there. As long as they agreed to go abroad as a family, all the benefits on the document would be given to the Lin family.
He originally thought that he could completely get rid of Lin Zhirou in this way, but Lu Jinsheng didn't expect that this matter was known by Lu Ziqian, who finally stopped Uncle Li.
Uncle Li didn't even dare to breathe loudly. He knew that he had made a mistake, and it was reasonable for Lu Jinsheng to be angry.
"Forget it!" Lu Jinsheng waved his hand. It wasn't entirely Uncle Li's fault.
He looked up and saw the woman lying on the railing, staring intently. The serious look on his face immediately turned into a smile. He waved to the person above, wanting her to come down.
But how could Shen Jian be so obedient? She deliberately pretended not to see him and still stood there, completely ignoring him.
Lu Jinsheng coughed lightly and lowered his voice. "Why don't you come down?"
"Aren't you going to come up and pick me up? I can't walk." Shen Jian looked like a little arrogant girl.
Lu Jinsheng immediately understood what she meant. He got up and walked towards the stairs.
Seeing his back, Uncle Li heaved a sigh of relief. Sure enough, the young mistress was indispensable in this family. Otherwise, they servants would be the ones who would suffer.
Just as Lu Jinsheng was about to go upstairs, he heard a knock on the door. Immediately afterwards, Uncle Li went to open the door. He saw a woman outside.
"Miss Lin?"
The woman walked in from outside. She was wearing a milky white long dress, with her long black hair hanging on her shoulders. She had also put on a delicate makeup. She looked very energetic.
But when Lu Jinsheng saw the woman, he didn't show any joy. Instead, he was very annoyed. He whispered impatiently, "Why did she come so early? It's really bad luck."
Hearing this, Shen Jian raised her eyebrows and said teasingly, "It seems that you're going to be busy. It's really a pity."
"What a pity?" He walked forward and put his arm around the woman's waist. He turned to Uncle Li and said, "Ask Miss Lin to wait in the living room."
