The windows were all rolled down. Huo Xunzhou had one hand on the window frame and was looking at Lin Shanchu with a faint smile.

Judgin from his expression, he was clearly trying to hint her that he had heard the entire conversation.

The smile on Lin Shanchu’s face froze.

“Why didn’t you warn me earlier?” she whispered to He Xiang.

He Xiang helplessly said, “I just saw him.”

Huo Xunzhou looked at her intently, signaling for her to go over.

Lin Shanchu walked over slowly.

“Sister-in-law!” Li MO waved at Lin Shanchu with a beaming smile.

Lin Shanchu was used to Li MO’s sudden enthusiasm.

“Why are you guys here?”

Li MO explained, “Brother Qi said that you and Yan Qicheng were supposed to meet here, but it looks like we’re late.”

“Are you done chatting?” Huo Xunzhou asked as he grabbed her hand.

Lin Shanchu cooperatively let him grab her hand, but she was upset and frowned. “That old fart didn’t even think of having a proper conversation.”

Huo Xunzhou held her hand and asked with a smile, “You were going to have a proper conversation with him when you came here?”

He knew Lin Shanchu’s personality very well.

The Cheng family had dispatched people to find He Xiang and bullied her because she was weak. In the first place, Lin Shanchu wanted to stand up for He Xiang.

Huo Xunzhou had seen through her intentions, so Lin Shanchu decided to let it slide.

“But he threatened me!” Lin Shanchu said confidently.

“Don’t be afraid, I’ll save you,” Huo Xunzhou said solemnly.

Lin Shanchu looked at him blankly and replied, “Huh?”

She only realized Huo Xunzhou was teasing her when she noticed the hidden smile on his face!

“Hmph! Let go of me!” Lin Shanchu said as she tried to shake his hand off.

Huo Xunzhou stopped smiling and said seriously, “Get in the car and accompany me to somewhere.”

Lin Shanchu glared at him. Then, she turned to He Xiang and said, “You may go home first.”

He Xiang smiled and left.

As soon as Lin Shanchu got into the car, she asked Huo Xunzhou, “Where are

we going”

Huo Xunzhou took out his phone and handed it to her after operating on it a few times.

A financial news headline was displayed on the screen: [Lu Qinghuai’s equity loan is overdue, the pledged equity will face auction risk.]

Lin Shanchu read the long title several times before she understood what it meant.

“Lu Qinghuai pledged part of his shares to get a loan? What did he do with the loan?”

Lu Qinghuai did not even care about the company’s affairs. He did not need a

loan at all.

“How’s the father-son relationship between Lu Qinghuai and Lu Shiyuan?” Huo Xunzhou asked.

Lin Shanchu pondered for a moment.

“The father and son don’t trust each other and guard against each other. Lu Qinghuai is a good-for-nothing. Lu Shiyuan is powerful. Lu Qinghuai has always held most of the shares in his hands because he doesn’t want Lu

Shiyuan to completely control Lu Corporation as he wishes…”

Speaking of which, Lin Shanchu had a flash of inspiration. “I understand now! Lu Qinghuai got a loan to make investments and transfer his assets?” “How clever.” Huo Xunzhou patted her head approvingly.

Lin Shanchu laughed heartily as if she had heard a hilarious joke.

“Lu Qinghuai had the nerve to make investments! After so many years, he still did not have a clear understanding of his own ability! Isn’t it obvious that he’d be giving away money to others by making investments?”

No matter how Lin Shanchu thought about it, she felt that it was a mysterious matter.

She frowned slightly and thought about it seriously. Then, she guessed, “He couldn’t have been deceived, right?”

As soon as she finished speaking, she realized that the silence in the car was a little strange.

Lin Shanchu looked at Huo Xunzhou next to her before she looked at Li MO, who was focused on driving.

In the end, her gaze landed on Huo Xunzhou’s face again.

Sitting leisurely, Huo Xunzhou leaned against the seat with one hand resting on the back of Lin Shanchu’s seat and the other hand lazily placed on his lap. He looked relaxed and normal.

She narrowed her eyes and looked at Huo Xunzhou for a long time before asking tentatively, “You did this?”

Just as Huo Xunzhou was about to speak, Lin Shanchu changed her tune. “When did you do it?”

Yesterday, when she mentioned why Lu Qinghuai had returned to Xu City, Huo Xunzhou admitted that he did know some inside information.

In that case, Huo Xunzhou was definitely the person who had tricked Lu Qinghuai into taking out a loan to make investments!

This kind of investment loan required a cycle time, so Huo Xunzhou definitely did not do it recently. He must have planned it long ago.

If it happened at an earlier time, she was not awakened at that time and was still following the plot as Lu Shiyuan’s bootlicker.

To her surprise, Huo Xunzhou had started to make a move on Lu Qinghuai’s shares at that time.

Could this be a hidden plot in the original book?

“It started about two or three years ago, ” Huo Xunzhou answered seriously.

“The specific date is stated on the contract.”

“You did it a long time ago?”

Lin Shanchu felt that this hidden plot did not make sense.

If Huo Xunzhou had done the same thing in the original book, Lu Shiyuan, who had the male lead aura, would have definitely discovered it.

As the saying went, two incompatible people could not coexist in the same place. If Lu Shiyuan knew that Huo Xunzhou had such means, he would certainly not allow Huo Xunzhou to live.

He would definitely think of ways to get rid of Huo Xunzhou!

Why was this happening?

Could it be that the plot had been interrupted before she awakened?

Or, she could make another bold guess.

The so-called plot of the original book was actually not the real plot. It was just something that the stupid system had specially instilled into her to complete the mission?

The system had disappeared a long time ago, and no one could give her an answer for the time being.

Lin Shanchu’s expression changed again and again. Huo Xunzhou tilted his head slightly and met her gaze. “What’s wrong?”

“It’s nothing.” In order to divert his attention, Lin Shanchu began to sweet-talk him, “You’re really amazing.”

Huo Xunzhou grabbed her hand again and narrowed his eyes to hide the emotions in his eyes.

“I am not really amazing, but it’s more than enough to make my girlfriend live off me.”

Lin Shanchu still had secrets that she did not want to tell him.

There was no hurry.

He had plenty of time to guess her secrets.

Lin Shanchu covered her face in frustration and said, ‘You are so annoying!”

This man was so annoying!

He had been teasing her about it.

Huo Xunzhou smiled and pulled her into his arms.

Lin Shanchu struggled for a while and stopped moving.

It was until she saw the car stop at the entrance of a hospital.

She immediately recognized that it was the hospital where the company had arranged for the check-up.

“Where are you feeling unwell?” Lin Shanchu asked, hoping for a stroke of luck.

“Your medical report has been here for so long. It’s time to take it.” Huo Xunzhou’s voice sank and his gaze looked complicated.

Lin Shanchu frowned without a word.

Huo Xunzhou looked up at the front row and said, “Li MO, get out of the car and wait for us.”

Li MO unbuckled his seatbelt and got out of the car. The entire process was smooth and only took three seconds.

Only Lin Shanchu and Huo Xunzhou were left in the car.

Lin Shanchu clenched her fists and said unhappily, “You knew that I was afraid, but still you insisted on taking me here to get it!”
