Chapter 890 Shen Siqi Returns to China

"What if that girl isn't a student, but an assassin, and she attacks you while you're holding her?"

Lu Xingye wanted to raise her guard, so he brought up the hypothesis again.

"I took her pulse the moment I caught her."

Shen Lu wasn't entirely without suspicion.

She immediately confirmed that the girl had truly fainted before carrying her to the security guard for help.

Therefore, those who pretend to faint cannot escape her keen observation.

Lu Xingye did not expect that she had not completely lost her vigilance under those circumstances.

However, the young girl's medical skills are remarkable; shouldn't he express his admiration?

"That's quite clever." Lu Xingye nodded. "Should I look into this girl for you?"

It would be best if there were no problems. But if there were, then this person would never appear in front of Shen Lu again.

"I am very grateful for Mr. Lu's help." Shen Lu did not hesitate. She could also investigate, but it would be a waste of time.

Lu Xingye has it much easier.

He has many connections, so the investigation is easy and he doesn't need to do it himself.

Lu Xingye ruffled her hair: "Doesn't it seem a bit insincere to just say thank you verbally?"

His voice was gentle, and the coldness he displayed when speaking to others was nowhere to be seen when speaking to Shen Lu.

Shen Lu raised an eyebrow: "Then, according to President Lu's suggestion, how should I express my gratitude?"

"Do I have to think of how to say thank you? Doesn't that seem less sincere?" Lu Xingye tapped her head.

Shen Lu removed his mischievous hand: "Then I need to think about it carefully."

"However, Mr. Lu hasn't even finished the business yet, and he already wants the benefits. He's a businessman after all."

Since Shen Lu has already said all that, it seems unlikely that getting any benefits now will be possible.

He frowned: "Why don't I wait until I've taken care of things, so you can have time to think about how to give me a thank-you gift?"

Lu Xingye's suggestion was not bad, and Shen Lu agreed.

"By the way, has your cousin Shen Siqi arrived in the capital?"

Lu Xingye then asked another question.

Shen Lu didn't know either; Shen Siqi hadn't contacted her.

She was unable to meet Shen Siqi when she went to Zenbang before.

Moreover, in northern Myanmar, Shen Siqi manages more than just one mine in Shan State; his work is very demanding.

"Liang Heng found out that Shen Siqi has arrived in the capital and plans to meet with him. He asked me to invite you to go with him."

"If you have time, go. If you don't have time, I can go in your place, okay?"

Lu Xingye's role as a middleman might not be as effective as that of someone who is a close cousin.

But Lu Xingye is also a future cousin-in-law, so he does have his own role to play.

Shen Siqi would give face to her cousin-in-law out of respect for her cousin and seventh aunt.

Shen Lu didn't want to go; she wasn't in business and didn't want to get involved in their affairs.

"Go ahead, I'll just call my cousin and let him know."

Lu Xingye could tell that this was Shen Lu's trust in him, so there was no need for further explanation.

"Row."

Shen Lu made the call as soon as she was told to.

How did you know I had arrived in the capital?

Shen Siqi hasn't contacted Shen Lu yet; she's only contacted her seventh aunt.

He only came to the capital after he heard that his seventh aunt had arrived.

His seventh aunt rarely traveled far, and he was worried that if he used someone else, this aunt wouldn't be easy to work with.

And so, he personally came to the capital to serve me.

Speaking of which, among the younger generation, Old Madam Shen was indeed the one who had the least trouble using Shen Siqi.

She previously felt that Shen Sisi was not a good teacher, so she set her sights on Shen Siqi.

Shen Siqi was personally groomed by her, and her style of doing things is most compatible with this great-aunt.

"I heard it from Lu Xingye. He said that Liang Heng from Zhou Xingxing Jewelry Company has been inquiring about you."

"Didn't we make plans to have dinner together tomorrow?"

Shen Lu confessed Lu Xingye without hesitation.

Shen Siqi was not surprised at all that Lu Xingye knew about him.

"Yes, do you want to come along?"

Shen Siqi is not at all opposed to her sister getting involved in business.

The Shen family business will eventually be handed over to her, so it's better to let her remain clueless and ignorant in the future.

It's better to start getting involved now.

The old lady is the helmsman; with her around, the Shen family's giant ship won't be tossed about by storms.

The next person in charge is Shen Lu.

When the old lady appointed her as the young clan leader, she had already chosen her as the successor.

Otherwise, the young clan leader should be her father, Shen Shuqiu, not her.

Therefore, her older brothers and uncles all treated Shen Lu very well.

Shen Lu quickly refused: "I won't go. Can Lu Xingye go instead?"

"I've been very busy with my studies lately, and I even went abroad recently. I haven't had time to finish my assignments."

Shen Lu is indeed quite busy. The school has already given her enough privileges, but she can't take advantage of them.

Therefore, she would make up for any homework she could.

"Okay, then you go and finish your homework."

Shen Lu needs to catch up on her homework, and Shen Siqi can't just tell her not to work so hard, since there's a family business to inherit.

He hoped that Shen Lu could do what she wanted to do while she was young.

After the old lady passes away, when she takes over the job, she won't have as much free time.

Fortunately, her uncle isn't old either. With him taking the lead, they were able to withstand most of the pressure for Shen Lu.

"Brother Siqi, we didn't cause you any trouble back in Zenbang, did we?"

Shen Lu recalled that they had previously investigated a woman named Lü Jinhua in Chanbang.

This Lü Jinhua is an intelligence dealer; she's probably sold a lot of information about the mine.

This person is very clever and adept at navigating social situations. Although she is just a cafeteria worker, she has an extensive network of intelligence.

She can utilize all available resources.

Such a person should not be underestimated.

"No, I should thank you for helping me uncover an information broker."

“This Lü Jinhua is a very good liar. If I hadn’t asked A-Jie to deal with her, she might have sold even more information.”

The reason this intelligence broker works so hard is because she has a child.

She wanted to give her child the best life, so she worked hard to gather information from all sides.

In this respect, she is very similar to that Malan flower.

However, Sister Ma still has some principles in doing business and won't sell out the country.

It was only later that Shen Lu realized that Ma Lanhua must have deliberately handed Yin He and Gangzi over to them.

She already guessed that they were looking for someone.

Otherwise, how could there be so many coincidences?

Malanhua probably didn't expect that the people coming from her hometown would be an old woman and a child.

In crucial moments, Ma Lanhua is more reliable than someone like Lü Jinhua.

Lü Jinhua has been escorted back to her hometown.

Malanhua has been dealing with China for many years, so no one will touch her.

She worked for two companies, and both companies supported her, so her business got better and better.

Malanhua was also glad she made that choice, after learning that the intelligence broker had been arrested.

"It's good that the mine wasn't damaged." Shen Lu also felt that they had just happened to have something on Lü Jinhua.

Moreover, even without her, Shen Siqi would have discovered the problem sooner or later.

Don't underestimate the Shen family members who were personally trained by this old lady.
