Chapter 1157
He paused, not looking back at me, as if waiting for me to say something.
“Are you okay?” I didn’t know why they were in the country, he was dark and looked a bit out of place in this city, and unlike the way I’d seen him before, he was, at this point, a wreck.
“Good!” Responding to my two words, he walked straight away, not stopping.
I stood in the alley for a while as the rain grew heavier, but it wasn’t long before the bodyguard who had been following me but took an umbrella and hit me on the head.
“Has he been following me for long?” I spoke, this was naturally a question for the bodyguard.
He nodded, “For a while now!”
“Does Fu Shen Yan know?”
“Mr. Fu only knows that someone is following you, but he doesn’t know who the other party is.”
I nodded, not opening my mouth to ask again.
The bodyguard handed me the phone and spoke, “Mr. Fu wants you to answer the phone!”
I pursed my lips, didn’t take the phone and said indifferently, “Send me back!”
Although he froze for a moment, he nodded and led me out of the alley and took me to the car.
Back at the villa, it was already dark, the villa was pitch black and looked seemingly empty, but there was a black Bentley parked in the courtyard, it belonged to Fu Shen Yan.
He was back.
I took a long breath before I walked in, opened the door, changed my shoes at the entrance and turned on the lights.
In the hall, the man’s face was dark and gloomy, his handsome face dripping with thin anger… angry?
I gave him a faint glance, and when my eyes met, I moved away indifferently, and then went upstairs without saying a word.
Before I even entered the room, his wrist was in my hand and his low voice was in my ear, “Why didn’t you answer the phone? Who was the man you saw today?”
I was a bit tired, wet from the rain and my clothes were all wet, so I didn’t really want to talk to him and said indifferently, “An old friend, phone’s off!”
I then broke his hand and went straight into the bedroom, grabbed my robe and prepared to go into the bathroom, but was blocked by his slender body, “Shen Shu, I said not to use cold violence in anything!”
I stopped, looked up at him and spoke, “I just got wet, can you let me finish my shower and talk about it?”
His dark eyes froze for a moment, then he spoke, “Go take a shower!”
I didn’t say much, I took my bathrobe and went into the bathroom, the rain in September was a bit cold, plus the temperature at night was a bit low, I always felt a bit light-headed after the shower, I should have caught a cold.
When I came out of the bathroom, Fu Shen Yan looked at me and seemed to be waiting for me to talk to him. I dried my hair and wiped my face, but I was a bit uncomfortable, so when I saw that he had gone into the bathroom to wash up, I didn’t feel like waiting for him, so I simply went to bed and fell asleep in a daze.
I heard someone calling me in a daze, but I was so sleepy that I ignored it.
The next day I woke up with a cold that seemed to have gotten a bit worse, even my throat was starting to hurt, and Fu Shen Yan was no longer there.
I had planned to meet in the capital, so I got up and packed up a bit and went straight to Mu’s.
Ouyang Nuo called, chirping, “Shen Shu, do you have time recently? Let’s have dinner together, can we?”
I nodded, “What’s wrong? Suddenly you want to have dinner?”
She said, “It’s Shi Rui, she said it’s going to be mid-autumn soon, so I guess we’ll all be home by mid-autumn break and won’t have time for a date, so why don’t we take advantage of these few days to make a date?”
That’s true, it’s mid-autumn soon.
I nodded my head, “Good, I guess I’ll be going back to the capital at mid-autumn, so I won’t have time to ask you guys out then, so now is as good a time as any to make a date and have a meal together!” Thinking about my encounter with Dan Wei.
Chapter 1158
I paused, but still spoke, “Ouyangnuo you be more careful when you go out these days, I met Dan Wei yesterday, he said that Bao Kun is coming to the country, we might not be safe!”
“Hmm?” She said with a shock, “How come Bao Kun has come to the country? My grandfather said earlier that the A city police and Burma police had joined forces to catch him, I originally thought he was hiding somewhere in the mountains at the border, but I didn’t expect him to be in A city!”
I froze for a moment, a little confused, and said, “You mean Bao Kun can’t get along in Burma?”
She hmmed and said, “I didn’t tell you guys about this, after we came back from Europe, I talked to grandpa about it, and then grandpa contacted the A city police and the Burmese side to arrest Bao Kun, he has done a lot of harmful things over the years, and there are a whole lot of people who want to fix him, so I guess his good days are over.”
I could probably imagine why when I met Danwei, why I felt he was in a bit of a mess, I guess, although they had come to the country, the life on the run was not that easy for them.
Hanging up the phone with Ouyang Nuo, I went straight into Mu’s
Mu Shen’s office.
I raised my hand and knocked on the door, and a voice came from inside, “Please come in!”
When he heard the movement he looked up towards me, and when he saw it was me, he paused slightly and said, “Didn’t you say you were going to rest for a few days? Why are you here?”
I found a seat and said, “The project in Lanxi Village is almost finished, just need to accept it, it’s about to be the Mid-Autumn Festival, I’m going back to the capital, I want to take a few days off.”
He stopped moving his hands and nodded, “Well, it also happens that I am planning to go back, however, for the acceptance, you have to go and look at it with the third party in advance, call Fu’s people if necessary, and look at the safety condition of the various places, during this period of time I am worried that the people above will make surprise inspections, if there are any problems then, it will be too late for us to change them, if all three of us make sure there’s nothing wrong, then even if there’s a problem with the inspection from above, it’s better to say something.”
I nodded, the most fearful thing about this kind of project work is the safety hazards, it’s almost holiday time, if something accidentally happens during the holidays, then this project will be in trouble again, we check well in advance, it’s also better to say something!
“OK, I’ll inform Fu and the third party to take a trip to Lanxi Village together tomorrow and go over this project again.” After a pause, I said, “By the way, are you going back to the capital for mid-autumn?”
He leaned his body back and nodded, “Naturally, I am going back, and by the way, that sandalwood box, when you return to the capital, you should also fulfil your promise and give me the box.”
I nodded, I had promised him back in Burma that as long as he could bring a few of us back home, that sandalwood box would be a repayment for saving his life, and I hadn’t given him the box recently because of work and my own relationship.
Thinking about my encounter with Danwei, I paused and still spoke, “You should be more careful when you go out these days, Bao Kun may be in A city, outlaw, I am worried he will retaliate!”
His hand twirling the pen gave a slight pause, his dark eyes fell on me and he raised his eyebrows, “How do you know that Bao Kun has come to city A?”
