Chapter 074: What's the background

"Su Mianmian, it's your turn next."

Su Mianmian widened her eyes in disbelief. Qi Chuyan wanted to kill her! Was this an opportunity for revenge? Did she really hate her that much?

"Qi Chuyan, are you crazy?"

Qi Chuyan's expression suddenly changed. She threw the gun in her hand away, hugged her head, and knelt on the ground. She cried out in horror, "I killed someone, I killed someone! I didn't do it on purpose, I didn't do it on purpose!"

This sudden change left Su Mianmian dumbfounded. What kind of trick was this woman playing?

Su Mianmian grunted and found Lu Xiangdong, who was lying in her arms, with his eyes open. "When did you wake up?"

She finally knew why Qi Chuyan had changed so fast. She really knew how to pretend when Lu Xiangdong was around.

The thought of Qi Chuyan trying to kill her sent chills down her spine.

Lu Xiangdong only opened his eyes for a moment before fainting.

Lu Wenzhong heard that Lu Xiangdong was injured and that the gunman had been shot dead. He rushed to the hospital with his assistant.

"Has the criminal been handed over to the judicial department? Did you see who killed the criminal?" Lu Wenzhong asked his assistant as he rushed to the hospital.

The assistant lowered his head and said, "Chairman, the criminal has been handed over to the judicial department. As for the person who killed the criminal, it seems to be Vice President Qi."

Lu Wenzhong suddenly stopped and looked at his assistant. It took him a long time to find an excuse to comfort himself. "Vice President Qi has made a great contribution this time. If she hadn't killed the murderer in time, the young master might have been killed. Remind me to raise the salary of Vice President Qi."

"Yes, chairman."

The door of the ward opened and Su Mianmian looked at who had come. She quickly stood up and greeted him politely, "Chairman Lu, you're here."

Lu Wenzhong saw that her shoulder was bandaged and asked with concern, "Are you injured?"

"It's just a small injury. It's not as serious as Captain Lu's injury."

He nodded and let her go to the ward to rest. He said that he would naturally arrange for someone to come over and take care of her.

However, Su Mianmian was worried about leaving. Lu Xiangdong was injured because he had saved her.

Biting her lip, she said to Lu Wenzhong, "Chairman Lu, I want to stay and take care of Captain Lu. I only have a superficial injury and don't need to rest at all."

Lu Wenzhong knew what had happened from his assistant. Su Mianmian had also been an innocent victim. The murderer was targeting the NEPC International Airlines. His assistant had already pulled up the murderer's information.

The murderer had tried to fly from China to Singapore a few days ago to see his wife who had been about to give birth. Before the plane took off, he was ordered to get off the plane as it had failed safety checks.

When the murderer flew from China to Singapore the next day, his wife had already died from Dystocia. The hospital had already determined that the dead baby was a boy. That was why the murderer hated the NEPC International Airlines so much.

A moment of extreme passion had caused him to make the lethal mistake, ending with him being accidentally killed by Qi Chuyan.

Lu Wenzhong seemed to have fallen into deep thought. The assistant reminded him softly, "Chairman, Stewardess Su is asking you a question."

Lu Wenzhong came back to his senses and looked at her. "Oh, if you want to stay, then stay."

Later, Lu Wenzhong left the ward with his assistant. Although he did not hear what they were saying clearly, they were surely acting mysteriously.

Su Mianmian touched her injured shoulder. It hurt like hell.

In the middle of the night, Su Mianmian went to the toilet. As soon as she left, a black figure barged into the ward and approached the bed. He pulled off the blanket, grabbed Lu Xiangdong's hand, and carried him up.

When Su Mianmian came back, she found that the door of the ward was open. When she had left, the door had been closed. She turned on the ward light and found that Lu Xiangdong was gone.

"Where is Lu Xiangdong?" She quickly left the ward to look for a nurse, a sister, or anyone who could help.

"Nurse, the patient in room 206 is missing. Please help me look for him." Su Mianmian panicked. He had disappeared right under her nose. How was she supposed to tell Lu Wenzhong?

The nurse could only comfort her and tell her not to worry. They would arrange for people to look for him as soon as possible. Once there was any news, they would inform her immediately.

Su Mianmian nodded. "As soon as there is any news, you must inform me immediately. I'm very worried that the patient will be in danger."

"Okay." The nurse did not know what to say anymore. She just kept nodding her head.

Lu Xiangdong was being treated well by whoever took him. They asked one of their subordinates to light a cigarette for Lu Xiangdong and spoke in a very polite tone.

"CEO Lu, you won't mind if I invite you here to drink, right?" Li Hong pushed the wine in front of him and dismissed his subordinates who were in the way.

Lu Xiangdong had just woken up and was not in good spirits. He also did not like drinking and smoking. He leaned against the sofa and said lazily, "let's get down to business. After going through so much trouble to kidnap me, I'm guessing this won't be as simple as just drinking."

Li Hong laughed out loud. "CEO Lu, you must be joking. If I kidnapped you, I wouldn't have treated you to a drink."

Lu Xiangdong snorted lightly, not taking it seriously.

"CEO Lu, don't be angry yet. Maybe CEO Lu will be very interested in what I'm going to say next." Li Hong lit a cigarette for himself and blew out a smoke ring.

"Li Hong, you have already shown your intentions. The NEPC International Airlines belongs to the Lu family. If you want to take it for yourself, it will depend on your ability." Lu Xiangdong threw cold water on him.

Li Hong was not angry, instead, he laughed. "Lu Xiangdong, don't be naive. Do you really think that the NEPC International Airlines belongs to you? Lu Wenzhong must not have told you that you are not his biological son at all. You are the son of your mother, Wen Pei's twin sister. After calling Lu Wenzhong father for so many years, you can be considered to have let him down."

Lu Xiangdong shook his head in disbelief.

"You are lying. Do you have evidence to prove that I am not Lu Wenzhong's biological son? If you don't, then don't spout nonsense here."

He did not believe the words of this old Fox. He was Lu Wenzhong's son, he was Wen Pei's son, he was the heir of the NEPC International Airlines, and he was Lu Xiangdong.

Li Hong patted his shoulder. "Don't be agitated. I have plenty of evidence, but what are you going to give me in exchange? I've never liked to suffer losses."

Of course, Lu Xiangdong understood what he wanted, but he could not hand over the company as a bet.

"You want the NEPC International Airlines?"

"I'm not going to beat around the bush. I do want the NEPC International Airlines. If you give the company to me, I'll tell you the secret. Neither of us will be at a disadvantage." Li Hong withdrew his hand and narrowed his eyes with a smile.

"Who knows if you're lying to me. If you use this as a cover to cheat the NEPC International Airlines, wouldn't I fall into your trap?"

Li Hong laughed. "Since you're so worried, then tomorrow is fine. Tomorrow, we'll find a coffee shop and sit down to discuss the matter. Maybe we'll become allies in the future."

Lu Xiangdong's heart sank. Was it really as Li Hong had said? Was he Lu Wenzhong's biological son?

* * * * *

Su Mianmian was still looking for Lu Xiangdong when he suddenly returned.

"Captain Lu, where did you go? Why couldn't I find you anywhere?" Su Mianmian looked curiously at him lying on the bed. She realized that he was deep in thought and wasn't even looking at her.

"Captain Lu, what's wrong? You look weird."

Lu Xiangdong glanced at her. "Is your shoulder okay?"

She shook her head.

He continued, "Then why are you running around? Go back to your own ward to rest. I have arms and legs, I can take care of myself."

Su Mianmian pouted. "Your injury is worse than mine. I don't need anyone to take care of me, but you do. I'll stay behind to take care of you. You can tell me what you want to do."

Lu Xiangdong felt that he was not that weak.

"I need to sleep now. Go back to your own ward and sleep. Come back tomorrow morning."

Su Mianmian felt that he was acting weird, but his thoughts seemed clear. This proved that there was nothing wrong with his brain. If she went back to rest and left him alone, she deducted that there should be no problem.

"Lu Xiangdong, you said it yourself. There's no problem. That's why I went back to sleep. If you need anything and you can't call me, you can ask the nurse to come over."

He nodded.

Su Mianmian felt a little sleepy. It was better for her to go back to her own ward to sleep.

Su Mianmian was about to lie down when she noticed that someone was standing beside her bed. They suddenly turned around, scaring Su Mianmian.

"Who are you?"

PA! The first room of the ward lit up. Su Mianmian saw who was standing in the ward.

"Su Mianmian, I've been waiting for you for a long time." Qi Chuyan crossed her arms and walked towards her. Su Mianmian was pushed to the corner of the room.

Su Mianmian wasn't afraid of her, but she felt her mind go numb when she thought about what the scene of her murder would look like.

"Qi Chuyan, what are you waiting for? Don't tell me you want to kill me to silence me?"

Qi Chuyan pinched her chin and sized her up carefully for a moment. She snorted and said, "Killing you will dirty my hands. I'm just here to see if you're dead."

The corner of Su Mianmian's mouth twitched. She slapped her hand away and ran to the other side of the bed. "Don't come over."

"Su Mianmian, why? Are you afraid of me? Afraid that I'll kill you? You're a woman who's afraid of death. Don't worry, I won't kill you so quickly. I'll keep you alive and slowly torture you to death." Qi Chuyan made a strangling gesture, and Su Mianmian couldn't help but touch her neck. What exactly was this woman's background? Why did she look so terrifying?
