Lu Nanze got an angry earful from Shen Zihao and then, the line went dead.
His lips turned upwards in a smile.
The assistant said, “Mr. Lu, if Shen Zihao doesn’t cooperate—”
With a hand wave, Lu Nanzhe said dismissively, “I was not looking for him in the first place.”
Puzzled, the assistant asked, “Then you’re...?”
Lu Nanze made a search on his cell phone and located the recording of the conversation he had just had. “Send this recording to Shen Zihao’s stepmother, the woman by the name of Mei Feng. Let her listen to it.”
The assistant immediately saw what Lu Nanze meant.
The call he had made to Shen Zihao was to get actual collaboration.
They had done their homework on the Shen family before coming to Beijing.
Mei Feng didn’t have a son and therefore, she doted on Shen Zihao. The thing that she feared the most was that Xia Yehua would take Shen Zihao away from her.
Shen Zihao, on the other hand, acted like he couldn’t care less about Xia Yehua. But this phone call proved that Shen Zihao did care for those people.
And if this were the case... Mei Feng would surely not hold back on joining forces with them!
At this thought, the assistant lowered his head with respect immediately and said, “Yes.”
Indeed, Mr. Lu need how to do things.
Shen Zihao frowned after hanging up.
After pacing his room a few times, he straightened up at once. After leaving the house and getting into his car, he drove off from the Shen family home.
However, after driving away, he had no idea where to go. As he cruised around aimlessly, he found himself going to Shen Liangchuan’s villa district.
He stopped his car by the road in the gardens. Sitting in the driver’s seat, he stared at the villa before him.
He wasn’t quite sure why he had come here.
It was just that after receiving that call from Lu Nanze, he knew and was afraid that the man would try to do something nasty.
Just as he was thinking about this, he suddenly saw a car stopping next to his. Following this, the backseat door opened. Shen Liangchuan got out, walked over to his car and knocked on the car window.
Upon seeing Shen Liangchuan, Shen Zihao immediately looked somewhat embarrassed.
As he frowned, he heard Shen Liangchuan say, “Why are you here? What’s up?”
Shen Zihao replied gruffly, “Nothing. Wondering if you guys have starved to death! I got a call from Lu Nanze today. He asked if I’d join him in ruining you, so I’m here to see if you’ve ruined yourselves even before I do anything.”
Although his tone was fierce, Shen Liangchuan could immediately see his good intentions.
His expression darkened and his deep eyes looked steadily at his brother. “Thanks, Zihao.”
Shen Zihao turned red with embarrassment and he quickly started his car. “Thank me? You must be crazy. I’m berating you and you’re thanking me!”
Then he stepped on the accelerator and started to drive away.
Shen Liangchuan stared at the disappearing silhouette of the car.
On his face, there was a hint of gratitude.
Shen Zihao still had their interest at heart.
Song Cheng now got out of the car. Obviously, he had heard Shen Zihao’s words. “Brother Shen, it looks like Lu Nanze is losing his cool.”
Shen Liangchuan narrowed his eyes and the corner of his lips turned upwards. “The fish... is finally biting the trap.”
Seeing how steady he was, Song Cheng could finally heave a huge sigh of relief and said, “It looks like all the news we’ve been working hard to spread, trying to create anxiety among the people and all that have been an effort completely worthwhile. Brother Shen, it all comes down to your counterattack now!”
