Chapter 104: Lu Chen's Confession

Xu Yanqiu said, during the day, before she and Su Yang appeared, Xu Yanqiu saw that the man's face resembled Lu Yanze's; does that mean Lu Yanze is the new target of those people?

Xie Wantang had just thought of this when Lu Chen affirmed her guess, "It's very possible Lu Yanze has been targeted, of course, it could also be his family, the Lu Family, behind him."

The Lu Family still holds some status in Sijiucheng and is a family that often dominates the rankings for a long time.

On the day Lu Chen staged his own car accident, if it weren't for Shen Ye's people helping behind the scenes, he might not have been able to retreat completely from that hidden force.

One can imagine how terrifying that hidden force is.

It's so terrifying that he needs to cooperate with Shen Ye just to barely resist.

Fortunately, Xia Meng reminded him that the ten billion under Lu Yanshen's name cannot be taken by Xie Wantang.

As for that ten billion, Lu Chen used his own hands to transfer it for Lu Yanshen because he knew Xie Wantang wouldn't want it.

However, keeping that ten billion with Xie Wantang is safe; in the future, once everything settles, he will find a way to let Xie Wantang know the whole truth.

He believes that, given Xie Wantang's character, whether he is still alive or not, Xie Wantang will leave Lu Yanshen's ten billion to Dongdong.

And as for his and Xie Wantang's child, he will naturally leave everything under his name to her and the child.

Xia Meng also said, "People die for wealth, birds die for food."

Those eight words made him suddenly awaken.

Letting Xia Meng work with him, they each revealed their hands; Dongdong is Lu Yanshen's child, and that is why he trusts Xia Meng's deep love for Lu Yanshen.

Xia Meng trusts him because he and Lu Yanshen are twins, they are biological brothers.

He only learned from his adoptive father long after adulthood that he had a twin brother, who was raised in the Lu Family of Sijiucheng.

He has always been busy; he founded LC in his teens, and aside from activities like rock climbing, he spends his time holed up in his lab waiting for experimental results.

As a child, his adoptive father sent him to a powerful mysterious base where he met Pei Xiao, Su Yang, Su Nianchu, and many other orphans sent by families or adopted back by the base's godfather.

Orphans like Su Yang and Su Nianchu undergo life-risking training year-round at the base, unlike him and Pei Xiao, who only have three months of summer and winter break; the rest of the time they are like normal kids, attending school.

"If they're only targeting Lu Yanze, it might be a personal grudge, but if they're targeting the Lu Family, it's probably for money."

"Lu Teacher, what does my senior martial brother say? Besides the male model's disappearance, has any family been ruined in a short time?"

Xie Wantang is now about seventy to eighty percent sure that the male model's disappearance is just a facade; perhaps harming the wealthy is the real goal of that group.

Just fixing their sights on the Lu Family of Sijiucheng shows that group's ambition and strength are not small.

The Lu Family might be in for big trouble.

Xie Wantang still doesn't know that Lu Yanshen's car accident was orchestrated by Lu Chen, who is currently chatting with her via voice WeChat; her senior martial brother Shen Ye also knows most of the details.

She now begins to suspect that Lu Yanshen's car accident might also have been fabricated by that group.

"Your senior martial brother didn't say, but I've already had him follow our shared line of thought to investigate further."

"……"

"Shared line of thought?"

Xie Wantang froze; this means everything she thought of had already been considered by Lu Chen, and before talking with her, Lu Chen had already given Shen Ye advice along this line of thought, right?

"Xie Wantang, you're very smart, we're also very in sync." Lu Chen continued to praise.

"If I weren't busy with many things right now and unable to be in two places at once, I would definitely pursue you."

Suddenly, Lu Chen confessed to Xie Wantang.

During those three years when Lu Chen lived as Lu Yanshen, he basically had no time to understand Xie Wantang beside him.

Now, having returned to his true self, he has only spent a few short days with Xie Wantang, and his understanding of her keeps growing.

This is a woman with extraordinary intelligence.

Rare intelligence, just like his.

With her intelligence and talent, she has begun studying voiceprints; likely in the near future, her achievements will surely surpass King and Queen.

By then, the aspect that gives him the most headache might possibly be solved with Xie Wantang's help, or maybe not.

When he sees his grandfather tomorrow, he should remind that odd old man to carefully cultivate Xie Wantang.

Perhaps Xie Wantang will give him a great surprise before his life ends.

Xie Wantang's ears felt hot and flushed uncontrollably due to Lu Chen's sudden confession; in this quiet night, the sensation was especially noticeable.

Weren't they chatting just fine?

How did Lu Chen suddenly go crazy?

"Lu Teacher, it's late, good night."

"Good, good night, sweet dreams." Lu Chen's low voice was full of deep, marrow-penetrating temptation.

"……"

Whether she will have a good dream, Xie Wantang doesn't know.

She only hopes that in her dreams there will be no more Lu Yanshen and no more Lu Chen.

She just wants to sleep peacefully alone.

Both of them, whoever they are, should not come into her dreams.

However, heaven did not hear Xie Wantang's inner voice.

Xie Wantang still dreamed, again of the mudslide by the mountain; this time, after reaching safety, she clearly heard someone beside her shout at the person carrying her, "Lu Chen!"

It was Lu Chen, not Lu Yanshen.

Xie Wantang jolted awake, a fine layer of sweat beading on her forehead and back.

Was that person back then Lu Chen?

Really not Lu Yanshen?

Did she mistake her gratitude, misidentify her lifesaver?

At three a. m., startled by that sudden thought, Xie Wantang couldn't sleep for a while; plus her back was sweating, she got up and went to the bathroom for a shower.

The more she showered, the more energized she felt.

After Xie Wantang slept lightly until morning, she thought that she had promised her second older brother to go to the hospital early for a Down syndrome screening.

Xie Wantang finished washing up quickly, then went downstairs.

Before leaving her room, she sent a WeChat message to Doctor Zhou, who does hypnosis: "Doctor Zhou, are you free at noon? Let's have a meal together."

Today's Down syndrome screening requires fasting.

So, after going downstairs, Qin Mu Feng also hadn't eaten breakfast and was waiting for her in the living room.

After the siblings greeted their family and left, Xie Ningmeng handed Qin Mu Feng some yogurt and a sandwich, telling him to bring them and have Xie Wantang eat them as soon as the checkup was done.

Xie Wantang had finished the checkup, and by the time Qin Mu Feng brought her to LC, she still hadn't received a reply from Doctor Zhou.

Just as she felt puzzled and was getting out of the car, Qin Mu Feng said, "Tang Bao, you're looking for Doctor Zhou because you want hypnosis, aren't you?"
