Chapter 1269: End Game (9)

Si Mubei?

Qiao Lian was slightly shocked and she suddenly reacted.

Since Shen Liangchuan was in charge of the whole Shen enterprise, she had some understanding of the few big families in Beijing.

The Si family’s Empire Corporation was really famous and Si Mubei was the corporation’s CEO.

If Su Penghao’s brother-in-law was Si Mubei, he would be a rather tough target for King to deal with. At least, Su Penghao’s mental strength would be strong enough to resist being targeted.

Qiao Lian felt at ease and looked at Shen Liangchuan calmly.

Shen Liangchuan stuck his hand out and patted her shoulder. “Ok, time to sleep. Don’t think too much about all of this, it is alright as long as we have made the effort and tried our best.”

Qiao Lian nodded.

They both lay down and, since Qiao Lian was pregnant, she got sleepy really easily. When she was about to fall asleep, she suddenly widened her eyes and turned to look at Shen Liangchuan. She asked, “Shen Liangchuan, what exactly did Lu Nanze tell you today? Why did you have such an expression when you returned?”

Shen Liangchuan frowned and after a while, he slowly lowered his gaze and replied, “Not much, let’s sleep.”

“Is that true?”

“Yes, it’s true.”

“You cannot lie to me if you have something on your mind, alright?”

“Ok.”

After Qiao Lian said so, she yawned and gave up asking.

She knew that if both Shen Liangchuan and Lu Nanze didn’t want to let her know about it, then she probably would never be able to find out.

Qiao Lian sighed. Although she was curious, she still wasn’t able to resist her tiredness and fell asleep.

When he heard the breathing from the person beside him, Shen Liangchuan opened his eyes and suddenly sat up.

He turned his head to stare at Qiao Lian dazedly. What had happened today at the compet.i.tion venue flashed in his memory—when Lu Nanze had asked him to go with him and the things he had said.

–

He followed Lu Nanze and walked out.

As he knew that Qiao Lian had rushed out behind them, Lu Nanze purposely chose a few split roads to shake her off.

They reached a balcony without anyone.

Then, Lu Nanze stared into the distance.

Shen Liangchuan frowned when he saw Lu Nanze’s state. His heart suddenly had a bad premonition.

He frowned and slowly asked, “What do you want from me?”

His tone wasn’t very nice, as he thought that Lu Nanze still wanted to fight with him for Qiao Lian.

But little did he expect that, after saying so, he would hear Lu Nanze plainly say, “It’s time to tell you the reason why Qiao Lian left the club back then, right?”

Why she left the club back then.

Shen Liangchuan was silent for a while. He knew that Lu Nanze was referring to when Qiao Lian had left the team club due to her injury.

Shen Liangchuan nodded.

Lu Nanze then spoke, “Her hand injury was because I sent people to hurt her.”

He lowered his gaze. “It wanted to stop her from looking for you.”

“Did you know that she wanted to game so badly she was going mad? In the beginning, her parents were planning to send her overseas, just like my parents. They had already made a deal that I would leave with her, but she suddenly gave up all the plans and only wanted to game. I still remember that Uncle Qiao locked her up and he was really insistent. But her att.i.tude was even stronger and she went on a hunger strike to resist it. Her hunger strike was really a hunger strike. She didn’t eat or drink anything for three days. Until the end, she fainted and was so weak that she was taken to the hospital.”
