Chapter 115: Lu Chen Proposed to You?

Lu Chen had just finished showering, lying on the bed, still feeling energetic.

When he received Xie Wantang's message, he instantly replied: "Nothing, just thinking of you."

……

Xie Wantang tightened her grip on the phone, then continued messaging: "President Lu, please be serious; I have something I want to tell you."

Okay, I'm serious, you speak; after you finish, I also have something to say to you.

Yeah, today Lu Yanze and Liu Shiyue came to Haishi; after having dinner at our place and returning to the hotel, they got into a car accident. I feel someone is really targeting the Lu family, not just Lu Yanshen alone.

How so? Lu Chen frowned slightly.

Lu Yanshen lay on the bed, a masterpiece of several factions.

As for the Lu family, he had never even thought of targeting them.

That little bit of money the Lu family has? He could earn it effortlessly; only Lu Yanze really cares about it.

The Lu family's elders also got into a car accident, lying in the hospital; I heard the hospital even issued critical condition notices. Just now, Lu Yanze and Liu Shiyue were in our family's car when they got rear-ended again.

Car accidents happen every day; it's just that they happened to run into them, which seems pretty normal.

Normal? Sticking it to one family and arranging car accidents for each member—don't you think that's too much of a coincidence?

Xie Wantang never expected Lu Chen to say that it's quite normal.

She had thought Lu Chen would give her some ideas.

You said the car belongs to the Qin family and the driver is yours, so Lu Yanze and his wife couldn't have just arrived in Haishi today, right? You're overestimating human capabilities.

……

Xie Wantang had nothing more to say; Lu Chen's analysis wasn't entirely without reason.

It might really just be a probability event; it's just that she happened to know about it at the same time. In fact, the Lu family elders' accident occurred some time before today's accident.

Lu Yanshen's accident happened even earlier.

Lu Yanshen has become a vegetative state, and the Lu family actually consulted a feng shui master, saying Xia Meng is a jinx; I estimate their wedding might not be able to proceed.

These were Xie Wantang's inner thoughts; for some reason, she ended up telling Lu Chen all of them.

You sympathize with your rival in love?

Lu Chen, Xia Meng is not my love rival. Xie Wantang denied.

Before, she didn't know Lu Yanshen wasn't the one who saved her; that was fine, but now that she knows, she definitely couldn't waste her feelings on Lu Yanshen anymore.

Since the person she likes has never been Lu Yanshen, Xia Meng naturally isn't her love rival.

Since she's not a love rival, Xia Meng's current situation is indeed somewhat pitiable, evoking sympathy.

Yeah, the woman who likes me is your love rival, right?

……

Seeing the text Lu Chen sent, Xie Wantang pictured his smiling eyes and brows, and she bit her lip.

Suddenly, Xie Wantang felt that facing Lu Chen's handsome face was more pleasing than the aloof Lu Yanshen before her.

That Lu Chen...

How can he be so overly familiar?

Moreover, saying such things, doesn't he think his skin is too thick?

She sought him out to have him help her sort her thoughts, but he's in the mood to joke instead.

Clearly, he truly doesn't keep the Lu family in his heart.

After a long while, with no reply from Xie Wantang, Lu Chen put away his joking face and resumed a serious one: "Alright, no more joking; having heard all that, my advice is just to live your own life well—the Lu family has nothing to do with you anymore."

Whether it's Lu Yanze or Liu Shiyue, whoever asks to meet you, either go to your place or refuse.

……

Xie Wantang, think more about the baby in your belly; you only need to focus on him and yourself now.

Got it, I will. After Xie Wantang replied with that message, she put her phone away.

After no further communication, Xie Wantang closed her eyes, leaned back, her face showing utter exhaustion.

Qin Muyang, who was driving beside her, said sympathetically: "That couple is here; why not go stay in the countryside for a while? Anyway, someone can attend your class for you—you just need to read the notes."

Xie Wantang shook her head: "Thank you, big brother, but no—I can't spend the rest of my life hiding from these people. Attending lectures in person and self-studying from notes are different; the insights differ."

Okay, I'll listen to you. Who were you just chatting with?

Lu Chen.

Have you and Lu Chen been getting along well lately? Qin Muyang's eyes lit up.

In his view, Lu Chen and Lu Yanshen both share the Lu surname, but Lu Chen is far stronger than that brat Lu Yanshen.

No grudges, so getting along would be more natural.

Xie Wantang meant that her relationship with Lu Chen isn't particularly good; for now it's just average.

However, Qin Muyang heard that as meaning there's potential.

Next, it's about getting Lu Chen to take the initiative.

Is that Lu Chen kid really bothered by his sister's unborn child?

If you ask him, that kid is so narrow‑minded that letting Wan Tang abort wouldn't be out of the question.

Xie Wantang didn't know what Qin Muyang was agonizing over; she turned to look out the window and said, "Big brother, you say a man who doesn't mind a woman being pregnant and still wants to marry her—what's the basis for that?"

"Did Lu Chen propose to you?" Qin Muyang slowly pressed the brake, bringing the car to a safe stop at the roadside, then turned his head to ask.

Inner monologue: This Lu Chen kid is lightning fast—he's already proposed.

Xie Wantang: ……

That day, there was no way to continue the conversation.

Xie Wantang naturally wouldn't directly bring up her involvement with Lu Chen; given all the trouble already, she just treated Lu Chen's words as nonsense.

Xie Wantang casually found an excuse and just sent Qin Muyang away.

……

Over there, Lu Chen hung up the phone and directly contacted Shen Ye.

The two of them redeployed the plan; Lu Chen opened his computer and checked the situation at Xu Yanqiu's house—these past few days, there actually hasn't been any news.

Their high-tech wall surveillance will have no effect whatsoever; in other words, the other side will absolutely not know.

However, these past few days, after Xu Yanqiu no longer lived there, next door—there wasn't a single person.

This shows that the people being monitored are not just Xie Wantang; Xu Yanqiu is also under surveillance.

If that's the case, it indicates that the group behind the An sen incident is responsible.

"You're letting Miss Su be the bait?" After discussing the main matter, Shen Ye countered Lu Chen.

At that time, after learning of this, Shen Ye went to ask Pei Xiao how they could let a woman serve as bait.

"Didn't you also have your junior sister go scout things out for you back then?" Speaking of this, Lu Chen just happened to have a score to settle with him, but he never did.

"I..." Shen Ye stumbled, then explained, "My junior sister's high IQ—aside from you, there aren't many people around me who can compare with her."

"I think that group is very ruthless; don't let Miss Su suffer misfortune when the time comes."

"Don't worry, Captain Shen, Su Nianchu isn't as weak as you think; she may not match your junior sister's IQ, but in other aspects, she's not necessarily inferior."

"Moreover, we've been lying low for so long; it's obvious the other side has more patience than we do. At this point, sending Su Nianchu out might provoke them into action."

"Captain Shen, you're a divine detective—tell me, how much time have you devoted to this case? Your superiors didn't give you three months to solve it? If we don't take initiative, you won't crack the case within three months."

Lu Chen reminded.

Finally, Shen Ye let out a breath, "Is Miss Su's safety guaranteed?"

"Rest assured."
