Chapter 810: Chapter 808: Bullet Screen Scam 30
Ah Chen scrutinized Meng Yan, unsure of what role she played in all of this.
Shen Muzhi didn’t marry afterward, at least not while the commissioner was alive.
After all, the commissioner owned hundreds of billions in assets and was legally married to Shen Muzhi. Divorcing her for someone with mental illness wouldn’t help his reputation.
Nevertheless, Meng Yan was always by Shen Muzhi’s side.
In such important yet unseen affairs, Meng Yan seemed informed enough; perhaps she was more than just someone beside Shen Muzhi.
"They are in the lounge; maybe they were too tired, and as they talked, they fell asleep. Afraid to disturb them, I left the lounge," said Ah Chen.
"Since Secretary Meng is here, it must be urgent. Let me take you upstairs," Miss Qiao suggested.
Meng Yan took a deep breath, her face still showed a polite smile: "That would be much appreciated, Miss Qiao."
Pushing open the lounge door, inside were the Shen Family members sleeping soundly.
Meng Yan quickly approached Shen Muzhi and nudged him: "President Shen, President Shen, there’s an urgent document from the company."
Shen Muzhi woke up quickly, sensing something was off.
Did he fall asleep again?
Glancing around, he saw others were also asleep, but seemed to hear Meng Yan’s voice, slowly waking up.
He soon spotted Ah Chen standing behind Meng Yan, a chilling sensation creeping from his feet to his scalp; for the first time, seeing Qiao Chen, he had an impulse to flee.
"Other than Brother Muyang, it must be exhaustion from lack of relaxation; suddenly relaxing here induced sleep," Ah Chen said. "By the way, Brother Muzhi, Secretary Meng mentioned an urgent document for you, take a look quickly, don’t delay the business."
Meng Yan’s presence was telling; Shen Muzhi realized why when he awoke to find the Shen Family asleep.
He jumped up abruptly, grabbed the document case, glanced inside, then looked toward the now-awake Shen Zhenxiong: "Dad, there’s something at the company. Let’s head there first."
Shen Zhenxiong hurriedly got up, following him out, disregarding the inner horror and shock.
"How come everyone fell asleep." The lounge fell silent for a moment, Chen Qing shook her head lightly, "Maybe it’s just exhaustion from too many recent affairs."
She glared at Shen Muyang: "Don’t stay up playing games all night, the only idle person in the family is you."
"Xiao Chen, today is really quite embarrassing," Chen Qing showed an embarrassed expression, "Next time, I’ll have someone make delicious food, come to our place for a meal."
"Today we’ll head back first; I have an appointment this afternoon, and this boy clearly hasn’t slept well. Let him go home and catch up on sleep."
Ah Chen certainly had no intention of holding them back, smiling as she watched them leave the lounge.
As the Shen Family walked out of the Qiao Family Villa, their backs were drenched.
They had no idea why Qiao Chen wanted to put them all into an unconscious sleep.
Could it be possible she aimed at their body’s parts?
Leaving aside the Shen Brothers, Chen Qing and Shen Zhenxiong weren’t young, definitely not prime choices.
Especially Shen Zhenxiong, his years of corporate toil and socializing left him with numerous underlying health issues, hardly an ideal source of replacement parts.
The baffled Shen Family sat silently inside a car, not one speaking for a moment.
"What exactly is she planning to do?" It was Shen Muyang who lost patience first and asked, "Did you also realize she’s a bit terrifying?"
To Shen Muyang, Qiao Chen was no longer the soft bunny, but a wolf capable of deadly bites.
Even though this was all connected to Rong Yu, it was genuinely frightening.
"Earlier, I had my blood tested, and it showed no trace of any sleep-inducing drug," Shen Muzhi said. "The drug might be special, undetectable, or the dose could be minimal, leaving the body quickly."
"Thus, even if we retest now, it might yield the same outcome as earlier."
Regardless, Qiao Chen eyeing their brothers for parts wasn’t a good sign.
Given she could secretly do a match test, should Rong Yu face difficulties, she might resort to extracting parts from them.
One should know, a love-struck mind can be terrifying.
Of course, the issue is easily resolved by minimizing contact with Qiao Chen. They’re not helpless civilians; with caution, doing anything secretively to them is tough.
But as things progressed to this stage, abandoning halfway wasn’t possible.
Silence again resumed in the car, until Shen Zhenxiong spoke up: "Find an excuse, I’ll arrange two bodyguards for you, always at your side."
He didn’t believe it; with bodyguards around, Qiao Chen couldn’t act recklessly.
If they managed to catch some leverage, it might benefit them instead.
But admittedly, it was unlikely.
Soon enough, their blood test results returned, still matching Shen Muzhi’s earlier result, no trace of any drug.
"The coffee cup I drank from, I covertly wiped the rim with a tissue to have it tested," Shen Muzhi stated, "Results are out, no traces of drugs."
Upon his words, the Shen Family inhaled sharply.
How did Qiao Chen achieve this?
Even though they had eaten dishes she served, how did they fall for it?
Therefore, the culprit wasn’t what they consumed orally?
Was it the lounge itself that had issues?
The Shen Family exchanged glances, eventually confirming this theory, deciding not to visit the Qiao home casually. It seemed safer to invite Qiao Chen over for meals.
"Perhaps resolving it through Rong Yu," Shen Muzhi suggested.
Shen Muyang chimed in: "I investigated earlier; she guards Rong Yu like a cherished treasure, quite hard to approach."
"Then wait, observe Qiao Chen’s next move first," Shen Zhenxiong said, "Also, if they don’t match, her plan won’t proceed."
Who Qiao Chen targets afterward would no longer concern the Shen Family.
"Uncertain what Rong Yu needs replacing," Shen Zhenxiong mused, "If it’s merely a liver..." His gaze shifted to his sons, calmly continuing, "it wouldn’t be impossible. Livers regenerate; should you match, do agree. After it’s done, find an opportunity to settle scores."
"This way, our plans proceed smoother."
The Shen Brothers remained silent.
Undeniably, the suggestion was feasible.
But if it’s kidneys, none would consent.
On Monday, Shen Muyang was shocked to find Rong Yu returning for classes.
Her skin was noticeably paler compared to their first meeting, visibly frail, still very thin, someone seemingly weak and ill.
Observing Ah Chen’s constant attentive care towards Rong Yu, Shen Muyang felt an urge to protect his liver and waist.
"Brother Muyang, why aren’t you eating??" Ah Chen teased, smiling.
Shen Muyang hurriedly began eating.
Another week passed, the Shen Family realized Qiao Chen was dining regularly at their place, seemingly growing closer.
Occasionally, Qiao Chen would join Chen Qing in making desserts, inquiring about Shen Muyang and Shen Muzhi’s preferences.
Her eagerness was terrifying.
She wasn’t like this before!
The critical point was, they rarely caught her thoughts, uncertain what she truly contemplated.
[They both matched, how to convince Shen Muzhi and Shen Muyang to donate a kidney each to Rong Yu? If they refuse...]
The sudden burst of her thoughts at the dinner table terrified the Shen Family.
She really dares to think!
What kind of love-struck mind is this?
