Chapter 73: MY FAMILY HAS AN UNSPEAKABLE SECRET!

Lu Zifan regretted saying those flowery words as he looked at He Lanjin with mixed emotions.

They all said that she was stupid. Everyone thought that she could still be saved, but now Lu Zifan realized that she was beyond help. How could she still believe everything he said?

"Ah Jin, don't make a fuss. You want shares? No problem... why don't we make a deal?" Seeing that He Lanjin was unprepared for his counterdemand, Lu Zifan said confidently, "But the deal would depend on whether or not your family has a secret of equal value."

"After all, shares of the Lu Corporation represent status and power in Jiang City," Lu Zifan said.

He Lanjin slapped her forehead, saying, "My family really has a shameful secret. If you want to know, just tell me! I'll disclose it to you later."

Lu Zifan's heart skipped a few beats. If he knew that He Lanjin would be so easy to deal with, he would not have bothered working with the idiot He Ruoxue.

But why did He Lanjin suddenly have a change of heart? Did his affair with He Ruoxue provoke He Lanjin? Has He Lanjin realized she had feelings for Lu Zifan? If so, then his problems were over. Still, he had to keep an eye out; it would not hurt to be cautious.

"Baby, I love you so much," Lu Zifan said, thinking of swaying He Lanjin with his sweet words.

Even as he said this, Lu Zifan looked at his watch in a hurry. "But I've been very busy these past few days. I don't have time to spend with you right now, but I'll make it up to you after we get married."

"Sure." He Lanjin looked at him with anticipation.

Lu Zifan was about to leave when a thought struck him. "Did you see someone just now?"

He Lanjin's eyes grew cold. "Yes."

"Whom did you see?" Lu Zifan asked.

"I saw you! Aren't you human?" He Lanjin said. She grew quiet, suddenly remembering something.

When He Lanjin was young, she would not call Shen Biqiong aunt. Shen Biqiong got so angry that she couldn't sleep. It took He Lanjin a long time before she finally got used to calling Shen Biqiong aunt. He Lanjin did not know why this memory sprang up when she saw a passerby wearing old fashioned pants.

Lu Zifan, noticing He Lanjin's silence, found an excuse to leave.

He Lanjin's face darkened at Lu Zifan's words. Was she being followed?

The more she thought about it, the more it appeared as if Lu Zifan was not really after He Wenqing's company...

Thinking these thoughts while standing alone in the street, He Lanjin realized how cold this winter was.

He Lanjin's phone vibrated, disturbing her thoughts. She looked at her phone, puzzled to be getting a call from an unknown number. When she answered the call, the other party whispered, "Miss, you have to be careful. Jiang City is not a very safe place as of the moment.

"What happened?" He Lanjin asked, trying to keep calm as fear welled up in her heart. She walked to a corner and said in a low voice, "Did something happen to my aunt?"

The other party stuttered. He Lanjin's fingertips trembled as she said in a cold voice, "Speak! I order you to speak."

"It's just a small accident. It has been dealt with. It was Madam who told me to tell you to be careful." The person hung up soon after, afraid that He Lanjin would have more questions.

Shen Biqiong was probably okay; otherwise, she would not be able to send word to He Lanjin about the need to be extra careful.

"She was in Jiang City for less than two hours. How did she get targeted?" He Lanjin asked herself. She drove Qiao Hanye's sports car to the highway as she tracked the IP of Shen Biqiong's phone.

Shen Biqiong's people, however, were swift and decisive. They had disappeared from the scene without leaving any clues.

"Ah, people really have to be careful on the road. Just now, a few disabled people drove recklessly and crashed a rich person's car." Driving slowly, He Lanjin heard some workers talking on the side of the highway.

He Lanjin got off the car to ask around and was shocked to learn that the car blew up. What was curious was that no one knew the exact details.

"What happened? Who did it?" He Lanjin thought to herself.

Lu Zifan had his eyes set on He Lanjin, and now someone wanted to harm Shen Biqiong.

Were these two incidents related? Did it have anything to do with Shen Biqiong spoiling He Lanjin as a child?

He Lanjin remembered how Shen Biqiong came all the way here after He Lanjin got saved from the kidnapping. She hugged He Lanjin and cried until she almost fainted. The old man was so angry that he sent He Wenqing flying with a slap.

Only now did she realize that save for her biological parents, everyone loved her.

She was the little princess of the He Lan family and was He Wenqing's life-saving charm. He Wenqing would not even dare scold her when he was sober...
