Chapter 497: Chapter 497 - Shen Yuechuan Lost Consciousness

After getting in the car, Xu Youning heaved a sigh of relief.

After a round of hard work, she believed that she should have completely won Kang Ruicheng’s trust.

She was right. Before the auction began, Xu Youning had realized that Kang Ruicheng had not completely trusted her when she received his call to change his plan. But she pretended that she didn’t find out anything and grudgingly brought back the land deed.

Then, she showed her frustration and defeat in front of him. When she accidentally noticed that he was using her, she was shocked and angry because of his distrust.

No matter how dejected or angry she was, it was a show directed and acted by herself for him to watch. Her purpose was very simple—to get his absolute trust.

Judging from his reaction just then, she had succeeded.

However, she also completely lost Lu Boyan’s trust.

She didn’t understand why Shen Yuechuan didn’t t raise the price to the highest of Lu Enterprises’ budget at the auction. It was enough to show that Lu Boyan didn’t fully believe her text message. At the very least, Shen Yuechuan was wary of her at the auction.

And the purpose of her text message was to suggest Lu Boyan that she actually stood on their side. She wanted to win Lu Boyan’s trust, but unfortunately she failed.

If she wanted to regain his trust in the future, she might have to find an opportunity to confess to him.

Confess that she loved Mu Sijue.

She had to tell him that she already knew Kang Ruicheng was actually the murderer of her grandmother.

To tell him that she knew the “truth” of her grandmother’s death, that it was a conspiracy arranged by Kang Ruicheng, and she pretended to fall into his trap, treating Mu Sijue as her irreconcilable enemy and going back to Kang Ruicheng’s side to deal with Mu Sijue.

But in fact, she had returned to deal with Kang Ruicheng to avenge the death of her grandmother. For that, she had paid a lot.

First, she pretended to believe that Mu Sijue was the murderer who killed her grandmother. She went to the club to find Mu Sijue and made a scene. In front of a group of subordinates, she exposed that she was working undercover, forcing Mu Sijue to lock her up and give the order to kill her.

All of this was her plan. She forced Mu Sijue to secretly cooperate with her to act a show for Kang Ruicheng. She wanted to make Kang Ruicheng believe that she and Mu Sijue had already had a falling-out.

Then she waited for an opportunity to escape from the basement and went back to Kang Ruicheng’s side in embarrassment, telling him how much she hated Mu Sijue.

Unfortunately, she had miscalculated. The underground floor hidden in the Number One Clubhouse was designed by Mu Sijue himself. She could never have any chance to escape from that watertight place.

But fortunately, Ah Guang let her go.

On the plane flying from City C to City A, Xu Youning had already planned everything. First, she won Kang Ruicheng’s trust, then she contacted Lu Boyan secretly to imply him that she knew everything. Then, she would collude with Lu Boyan. It was only a matter of time before finally got of Kang Ruicheng.

As for what would happen to her and what she would do after that, she didn’t even have time to think about it.

But then, there was a time bomb in her head. As for the future, she didn’t need to put much thought into it.

She might not have a future. In that event, it would be futile for her to overthink.

Up to that point, what really exceeded Xu Youning’s expectation was that she made a fool of herself in trying to be smart and completely won Kang Ruicheng’s trust, but lost Lu Boyan’s.

What a day! She had it between joy and sorrow.

Thinking of this, Xu Youning slammed on the accelerator. The car suddenly sped up and darted on the suburban road.

When she returned to the old house of the Kang family, Shen Yuechuan had also returned to his apartment downtown.

He felt inexplicably overjoyed because of the short but intimate contact with Xu Youning just then. Accordingly, he answered the phone almost without hesitation the moment it rang.

“Hey, I found a very interesting thing!” “Do you want to guess what it is?” “By the way, I’ll give you a hint. It’s something to do with you!” A man’s giggling voice was heard on the receiver.

“I have not time for that.” Shen Yuechuan said indifferently as he stepped into the elevator, “You can either tell me directly or hang up the phone.” “Don’t be such a slug. Believe it or not, I’ll throw you to the South Pole so that penguins play with you.”

“All right, I’ll tell you now—someone is trying to find out more about you!”

Shen Yuechuan paused with his hand in the air before he was about to press the elevator button. “Who?” “About what?”

“The first name that came to my head was our opponent, but after tracking the IP address, I found that a private detective was digging out your information.” “You know what? He’s not interested in the commercial information you’ve mastered. It seems that he wants to know about your life since you were born.”

Shen Yuechuan faintly felt a sense of foreboding creeping in his heart, but he maintained indifference in his tone, “Who would be so bored?”

“Hahaha...” The person on the other end of the phone laughed. “It’s your future mother-in-law!”

Shen Yuechuan frowned slightly. “Stop beating around the bush!”

“Okay. We have investigated the people who have contacted the detective in recent days. In the end, we found that the person who investigated you was Ms. Su Yunjin, Xiao Yunyun’s mother, the best candidate for your future mother-in-law!”

The sense of foreboding was getting intense and he felt that he had fallen into a whirlpool without warning.

In other people’s opinion, Su Yunjin was investigating him because she regarded him as a candidate for son-in-law.

However, something told him that if Su Yunjin really wanted him as her son-in-law, she would not investigate his information like this. Instead, she would consider things like his family background, education, working experience and relationship experience.

But she was interested in his growing experience, especially his childhood, which did not make sense at all.

Whether as a child or as an adult, he didn’t worry whenever he encountered something he couldn’t solve, because he knew that in the end, he would always find a way.

But the current situation was unexplainable and it made him feel uneasy.

“Hey, Brother Chuan, my Brother Santiao, why are you so quiet?” Since this subordinate got along well with Shen Yuechuan, he was especially relaxed and audacious when he joked around with him. “You are happy, aren’t you?” “Do you want me to change your life’s background to look more decent and exciting so that your future mother-in-law would agree to marry her daughter to you with peace of mind?”

“Listen carefully.” Shen Yuechuan said solemnly, “Don’t act rashly and alert the enemy. Let them continue investigating.” “However, I want to know what Xiao Yunyun’s mother is going to do after she gets my detailed information.”

“What would she do?” “I guess she will score you or something like that.”

Shen Yuechuan did not say further and hung up the phone.

In fact, he wished that the reason why Su Yunjin checked his information was because she wanted to score him, but his intuition told him that things would not be as simple as he thought.

Just as he was starting to feel annoyed, the phone suddenly rang again. Shen Yuechuan thought it was the annoying subordinate again. He picked up the phone and ordered in a bad tone, “Say it in one go!”

“...” The person on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment. “I asked someone to check the medical record of the Eighth People’s Hospital, but no record about Xu Youning was found.”

With such a calm voice and a calm posture, how could he be the annoying subordinate?

Shen Yuechuan looked at the caller ID and found that it was the “big boss.”

“Sorry, I thought it was Liu Yang.” He breathed a sigh of relief. “It would be impossible for Xu Youning to use her real name for medical treatment at the hospital. Have you checked if there’s any forged identity information?”

“Nothing was found.” Lu Boyan said, “Now there are two possibilities. Xiao Yunyun is not sick, or her condition is too bad to let anyone know.”

Shen Yuechuan’s lips curled into a sneer. “If it’s the second one, tell Mu Qi about it. Even better, tell him that Xu Youning always knew Kang Ruicheng is the murderer of her grandmother. She returned to Kang Ruicheng’s side for revenge. I guess Mu Qi will go crazy in an instant.”

Lu Boyan was not interested in Shen Yuechuan’s assumption. He asked, “How was Xu Youning doing today when you met her?”

“Proud, cold and the fact annoyed me. She looked so well.” After a pause, Shen Yuechuan added, “Besides, Doctor Xiao, a heart surgeon-to-be personally said that Xu Youning didn’t look sick.”

Lu Boyan frowned. “Am I overthinking?”

“Even if you are right, we don’t have to worry about Xu Youning’s illness.” Shen Yuechuan entered the password to verify the fingerprint, and the door of the suite opened. After he entered, he took out a pair of slippers from the shoe cabinet. “I’ve got to go. Let’s talk about it tomorrow.”

After that, Shen Yuechuan hung up the phone. When he bent down to take off his shoes, he suddenly felt dizzy. He held the shoe cabinet as a reflex, trying to stand up straight.

However, it seemed that he had lost all his strength. He couldn’t stand straight at all. A wave of tiredness enveloped him so tightly that he even had to struggle to walk. Finally, he could only walk step by step to the living room while holding the wall for support.

Finally, he collapsed into the sofa in the living room. His eyelids gradually became heavy, and his consciousness slowly withdrew from his mind.

He felt as though he was on the verge of death.

In the end, the last figure in his mind was Xiao Yunyun.

Shen Yuechuan unlocked the mobile phone screen with difficulty. As soon as he found Xiao Yunyun’s number, before he could dial, he was completely engulfed by darkness as he completely lost consciousness.

In the Century Hotel.

As soon as Su Yunjin returned to the hotel, she received a message from Mr. Zhou. He sent some materials to her. It was about some important events during Shen Yuechuan’s university days, as well as his working performance after he graduated.

“Mrs. Su, Shen Yuechuan has a special identity. I must be extremely careful in order to avoid disturbing him. At present, I could only find this.” Mr. Zhou said to Su Yunjin over the phone, “Shen Yuechuan lived in the United States since he was a child until he was in high school. In addition, Lu Boyan deliberately protected his information. It may take a lot of effort to find out, but we will do it as soon as possible.”

“What I want is the information about his childhood.” Su Yunjin seriously emphasized, “Mr. Zhou, I don’t want you to do it as soon as possible, but you have to do it as soon as possible, understand?”

Mr. Zhou was stunned for a moment. “Yes.”

It was not until then that Su Yunjin realized that her tone was too harsh. She apologized to Mr. Zhou and hung up the phone.

She was not aggressive, but she had to be sure as soon as possible whether Shen Yuechuan was the person she was looking for.

Otherwise, it would be too late.
