Chapter 22: Chapter 22 Sheng Shaochen, Save Me
Two and a half hours later.
Ye Shu, drowsy from sleep, was awakened by the loud commotion next door.
She got up in a daze and heard a woman’s voice across the doorway, filled with sobs, “Director Sun, please, please don’t do this…”
Director Sun? Sun Nanjue?
A chill went through Ye Shu’s heart, and she sobered up a bit.
She crouched down, picked up an empty wine bottle from the ground, and staggered toward the next room, kicking the door open.
Without a second thought, she knocked the man on the head with the bottle and then grabbed the woman’s hand to run out, shouting as they went, “Linlin, don’t be afraid, I’m here…”
“You, who are you? I don’t know you, let go of me.” The voice of a stranger rang out.
Ye Shu was taken aback, turned her face, and saw under the lamp light a strange woman’s face streaked with tears, looking at her warily.
Taking advantage of Ye Shu’s momentary shock, the woman wrenched her hand away and ran out.
Ye Shu leaned heavily against the wall, her body sliding down, knocking her head forcefully to clear the post-drinking haze.
It hurt, it hurt like hell!
Behind her, in the dim light, a fat-headed, unfamiliar man clutched his bloodied head, directing several bouncers to surround her.
“Catch her, don’t let her get away!”
Ye Shu realized she had caused trouble and tried to run, but she couldn’t muster any strength.
In her panic, she dialed Sheng Shaochen’s number.
Sheng Shaochen had just gotten off the plane and was still at Jin City Airport when he received Ye Shu’s call. He frowned and picked up.
“Save me, ah…” Ye Shu’s voice, followed by a scream and a burst of noise, disappeared.
Sheng Shaochen’s face darkened, and he redialed Ye Shu’s mobile.
After a long wait, a man’s anxious voice came from the other end, “You are Miss Ye’s friend, aren’t you? Hurry to Room No. 1, Heavenly at Rose Residence, I’m afraid something bad is happening to Miss Ye… ah…”
The call was cut off after a scream.
Sheng Shaochen went stern, and dialed a number rapidly, “Go to Rose Residence immediately, Heavenly No. 1, bring Ye Shu out!”
In front of Rose Residence, a black Bugatti Veyron screeched to a halt.
Sheng Shaochen pushed open the car door and rushed out.
Ye Yuanjing, the owner of Rose Residence, smiled from a distance as he approached, slinging an arm over Sheng Shaochen’s shoulder and said with a secretive grin, “I never thought there would be a second woman in the world who could make Brother Sheng personally take action, not easy at all.”
While laughing, Ye Yuanjing led Sheng Shaochen along a green passage.
This green passage was specially designed for Sheng Shaochen to avoid encountering women.
Sheng Shaochen cast a cold glance at him, “Where is she?” He quickened his pace.
“Relax, relax, she has already been taken to Shuian Blue Bay,” Ye Yuanjing had received Sheng Shaochen’s call to fetch a woman for the first time and was eager to please. “But about that project I discussed with you last time, maybe…”
Sheng Shaochen stopped, turned around, and gave Ye Yuanjing a heavy look, “Do you think I’m someone who doesn’t distinguish between public and private interests?”
“This… heh, forget I mentioned anything! Whatever you need tonight, Brother Sheng, just command and I’ll have my people prepare. The first time will be comfortable for you…”
Ye Yuanjing had his attempt rebuffed and quickly changed the subject, groveling for favor.
“No need!” Sheng Shaochen dropped this remark and headed straight for Shuian Blue Bay.
