Su Xing shook her head, unable to imagine how chaotic her mind would become if Lu Xiangyi were to come back to her side.
So she warned Mu Beiyao, "Really, don't tell Xiang Yi yet. Things have been quite messy around me lately, so please don't let her get involved. If something goes wrong, who can we rely on against the Lu Family?"
Tsk! You only know how to protect her; why don’t you say not to let me get involved?!
Mu Beiyao not only felt no jealousy but also a surge of pride. She knew that Su Xing would surely say next: "That's not getting involved; you are my guardian angel. No matter what happens to either of us, we can't be without each other. We must face everything together!"
Sigh! That's just how it is; who told you that I am the person you trust the most!
Mu Beiyao was simply too satisfied.
Su Xing then had to suppress her enthusiasm a bit: "Besides, if I don’t let you manage things, you seem like you can hold back."
Mu Beiyao's gossip-loving spirit was always ablaze.
"With my curiosity, should I start an entertainment department? It would be perfect to compete with that woman Han Ruoxi."
Su Xing glanced at the door, thinking of the man outside, and couldn’t help but snort coldly.
"I advise you to wake up; you're competing with Shen Jingyu. Are you sure you can win?"
Hmph! You're just boosting someone else's confidence while diminishing your own!
Isn’t he just in charge of the Shen family? Whether he can hold his ground is still uncertain!
I’ve heard recently that there’s turmoil among the higher-ups in the Shen family.
He just took office and has gone missing without a word; the board members are waiting to impeach him!
Mu Beiming has been pulling his hair out these past few days, unable to deal with Shen's troubles.
Meanwhile, the big boss is completely oblivious to outside matters, stubbornly chasing after his wife.
Actually, Mu Beiming was anxious too; news had come from the Western Country that Shen Jingyu was seriously ill. He was toughing it out but couldn’t push him either!
However, upon returning today and seeing Shen Jingyu's state, there was no need for concern—it was merely a tactic to win over a woman!
In less than half a day, Shen Jingyu would surely return to take charge at the office.
Su Xing listened intermittently to her conversation with Mu Beiyao while handling her own affairs.
She had to set aside some of her own money to help her brother with his wedding. It must be said that Su Xing was truly admirable when it came to family; she could give selflessly without hesitation. However, when it came to others, including those who had not yet been fully categorized as part of her inner circle, she always maintained a sense of distance and caution.
This time, even though Su He had caused trouble for Shen Jingyu, Su Xing felt it necessary to personally contact Du Gang to clarify some matters. However, before she could take that step, news about Shen Shi Yan Tuan broke out like a storm.
"Someone committed suicide at the construction site developed by Shen!"
"Violent demolition! President Shen forced the common people to their deaths!"
As the notifications flooded in, Su Xing immediately clicked on the content. The images from the incident were stark and clear. A disheveled middle-aged man had jumped from one of the unfinished floors of a building. From a height of over twenty stories, he hit the ground in a horrific state. Identification was found on him, and he clutched a lawsuit tightly against his chest, now soaked in blood.
In an instant, this incident stirred up a massive wave of outrage. People from various departments rushed to the scene as news spread like wildfire.
Su Xing rose and opened the door to her study just in time to hear Shen Jingyu speaking into the phone with a serious tone: "I’m heading to the scene right now." His expression was grave, but when he caught the worry in Su Xing's eyes, he managed a faint smile. "I need to handle something. You should take it easy for the next couple of days."
"You don’t need to look at unnecessary news. If anything comes up, just call me."
Su Xing watched him with longing, wanting to ask if she could go with him, but she hesitated, knowing this was Shen's matter and she didn't want to seem intrusive. Silently, she saw him off at the door. Noticing her anxious silence, Shen Jingyu gently tucked a stray hair behind her ear and reassured her.
"Don’t worry; I can handle this."
If I can help in any way, just call me.
Su Xing felt a pang of unease in her heart. Was he concerned for her? Or was his heart heavier for others?
That night, Su Xing did not receive any messages from Shen Jingyu; it seemed that the online frenzy was gradually dying down. When Shen Jingyu drove to the construction site, it felt as though everyone was waiting for him.
The media's cameras and microphones were all aimed at the calm and composed man.
"Mr. Shen, was this incident caused by your team, Shen Shi Yan Tuan, pressuring someone to death for the sake of progress?"
"Mr. Shen, is it true that you have maliciously delayed payment for relocation fees?"
"What message do you want to convey to the public?"
In response to these malicious questions, Shen Jingyu remained silent, offering no words.
Luo Hao and He Ping, as the chief assistant and secretary-general respectively, were Shen Jingyu's trusted aides. They quickly approached him to provide a brief report on the situation.
The deceased was Sun Zhifei, aged thirty. Three months ago, he had been working on this construction site but left suddenly due to illness. He had claimed that Shen not only owed him relocation fees but also his wages. Today, he had come demanding his pay and, in front of everyone, jumped from a building half an hour ago, dying on the spot. The lawsuit in his hand had been prepared in advance.
Shen Jingyu instructed He Ping, "Investigate his family situation and verify whether his claims are true."
He Ping turned to leave while Luo Hao attempted to quell the media's relentless questioning; they wouldn't be able to disperse the crowd anytime soon.
As Shen Jingyu walked toward the area cordoned off by police, Luo Hao followed closely behind.
"President, by the time we arrived, he was already dead. The police got here even before the ambulance did. They came asking to see the person in charge—they're waiting for you."
"This group really has some nerve; they dare to investigate you!" Luo Hao shot a hostile glance at the officers nearby, his tone filled with indignation.
Shen Jingyu remained silent; he recognized a few familiar faces among the officers and began calculating in his mind. Maintaining an air of calmness, he glanced over and casually asked, "Has there been any news from the old man?"
Luo Hao sighed heavily. "How could there be none? If it weren't for your grandmother stopping him, he would have come down already!"
"Send someone to inform him; I'll see him when I return."
"Oh." Luo Hao muttered while fiddling with his phone. "Why can't he just call himself?"
Just as several officers approached the imposing figure of the person in charge, chaotic cries echoed from a distance.
"Are Sun Zhifei's family causing a scene? Where did all these relatives come from? And why are they all such troublemakers?"
Luo Hao instinctively gestured to the guards hidden in the shadows, ready to protect Shen Jingyu at any moment; who knew what these people were truly after? However, with police stationed in between, they could only make a bigger fuss without crossing any lines.
"Shen, we need you to come with us for a moment. Regarding Sun Zhifei's accusations against you and the Shen Family Head, we need to clarify some details."
Shen Jingyu's stern face revealed a calm and composed demeanor. With his hands tucked into his pockets, he replied coldly, "Sure."
The subordinate next to the captain attempted to reach for handcuffs, but was immediately met with several intimidating glares that made him hesitate.
