The president always wants to steal my sweet potato

"My mother suddenly became ill, so we moved our family abroad. She spent almost every day in bed. My father sought help from all the Chinese and Western doctors, but they all said they could do nothing. The best result was to extend her life by two years."

At this point, he paused.

Perhaps it was because I recalled those difficult days again that I couldn't help feeling sad.

Seeing this, Mu Yaqi felt sorry for him.

She accidentally touched upon his sorrow and felt a little guilty. She tentatively said, "You don't have to say it if you don't want to. It's all in the past."

Hearing this, Lu Chengfeng looked at her and saw that she looked worried, as if she was afraid that he would be unhappy. He couldn't help feeling warm in his heart.

He smiled lightly and said, "It's been so long, it's nothing."

Mu Yaqi blinked and said at the right time: "I actually heard a little bit. Back then, Uncle Lu took Aunt Geng to live in seclusion on an island and personally devoted himself to the medical field. Therefore, all the industries of the Lu family in various fields fell on you at once."

Lu Chengfeng nodded: "Yeah, that was a really busy time."

Mu Yaqi looked at him quietly, playing the role of a listener diligently.

However, Lu Chengfeng just sighed and didn't say anything else.

He paused for a few seconds and continued, "My father has been researching medicine that can cure my mother. From the beginning, he tried to use various medical drugs to maintain her life. Later, she gradually got better and was able to survive longer."

He paused, as if he suddenly thought of something, and frowned, "It turns out that Meng Zhe has been keeping an eye on me since then."

Mu Yaqi looked at him puzzledly: "What?"

Lu Chengfeng looked at her and said after careful consideration: "Meng Zhe intends to develop a medicine for longevity. The medicine developed by my father happened to be effective on my mother. After he knew about it, he wanted to use it for himself."

He said slowly: "So when I went to Shang Junjie to ask for it that time, he gave it to me so readily, because he and Meng Zhe were not on good terms."

Mu Yaqi asked, "Isn't that medicine difficult to produce?"

Lu Chengfeng nodded: "Well, after the first one was used and confirmed to be effective, the second one was produced immediately."

He paused and said, "Because my father was not confident in handing this kind of thing over to others, any slight deviation would cause problems with the efficacy of the medicine, so he did it himself at the time, and stayed up for three nights before extracting and refining this one."

"Just after he finished producing that one potion, he heard the alarm go off. It was Meng Zhe and his men attacking. He had no choice but to lock up the laboratory temporarily, and then went out with his men to confront Meng Zhe."

"As expected, Meng Zhe left soon, but when he returned, he found that the potion was missing."

"He told me that when he was confronting Meng Zhe, he only saw Meng Zhe and didn't see his legendary son, so he suspected that Shang Junjie and Meng Zhe were working together, one to attract attention and the other to steal the potion."

"My mother's condition was critical at the time, and she could only rely on that one medicine to prolong her life. It could only delay her life for two more days at most, and various complications might arise during these two days."

"It takes more than three days to make another dose of this medicine. Obviously, it's too late."

Mu Yaqi said: "So Uncle Lu stayed at home to take care of Aunt Geng, and you went to find Shang Junjie."

Lu Chengfeng nodded: "Well, if we want to find the medicine after we leave the island, we must find their hideout and meet their people to prevent them from transferring or using the medicine. It takes more than a day to go back and forth. Time is urgent and the situation is tense, so the local government may have been alerted, which is why my brother took people there."

Mu Yaqi frowned and didn't speak for a long time.

Lu Chengfeng said, "That was the first time that the medicine was used. When we observed that the cells in our body were obviously failing, that is, beyond the normal range, we predicted that they would all fail in about a week based on various indicators. It took some time for my father to find the necessary herbs and airlift them back. The production process took another period of time, and we had to ensure that there were no mistakes during the process. The situation was actually very tense at the time."

"In order to ensure the normal production of the next potion, during the production of this potion, medicinal materials were continuously transported in and then stored. I was responsible for this matter at the time."

"In fact, if everything goes well, the time should be just right, or even sufficient, but I didn't expect Meng Zhe to suddenly bring people here, so..."

Mu Yaqi patted his shoulder gently and said, "It's okay, everything will turn out well."

Lu Chengfeng nodded: "Yeah."

There was a moment of silence in the air.

After a few minutes, Mu Yaqi said, "Why did Shang Junjie go against Meng Zhe? Shouldn't Meng Zhe's things belong to him?"

Lu Chengfeng said: "Mengzhe is suspicious by nature. He doesn't trust anyone. Even though Shang Junjie is his son in name, it's just in name after all. He is more like using Shang Junjie as a gun."

Mu Yaqi frowned slightly and said, "Now that you mention it, why do I suddenly feel that Shang Junjie is so pitiful?"

Hearing this, Lu Chengfeng's expression lightened up a little, and he said, "But he is very arrogant, he doesn't feel sorry for himself."

Mu Yaqi thought about it and agreed: "You are right, I have also heard a little about his arrogant deeds."

She raised her eyes, looked at him, and said, "I heard that Tianyu is his now?"

Lu Chengfeng said: "It is indeed his in reality, but it is still mine in name only."

Mu Yaqi said: "How could he hold back and not announce to the public that Tianyu was his?"

Lu Chengfeng said, "Tomorrow is the opening ceremony of the Xinhe Development Zone. You are the host and I am your partner. I asked him not to ruin your good mood, and he agreed."

Mu Yaqi raised her eyebrows: "That's it?"

Lu Chengfeng nodded.

Mu Yaqi frowned in confusion and said, "Why would he agree? He has wanted to get Tianyu for so many years. Shouldn't he take this opportunity to declare that Tianyu is his, and then embarrass you, and then strike you down?"

Lu Chengfeng said: "Well, of course he doesn't mind embarrassing me, so I told him not to ruin your good mood, and he agreed."

Mu Yaqi said blankly: "Why did the focus fall on me? Isn't this a matter between the two of you? According to the way you two act, I should be the unlucky one implicated."

Lu Chengfeng smiled helplessly: "No, I think Shang Junjie seems to be quite special to you."

Mu Yaqi was even more confused. She said, "I didn't know him before. After you told me about him, I got to know him a little bit. Why is he special to me?"

Lu Chengfeng shook his head: "I have no idea about this."

Mu Yaqi frowned and thought for a while, then looked at him and said, "Why don't you have any sense of crisis?"

As if she was afraid that he wouldn't take her seriously, she repeated, "Other men are special to me, how come you don't have any sense of crisis, huh?"

As she spoke, she poked his chest with her finger.

Lu Chengfeng said frankly: "He is not in the category of my 'rival in love', which means that he has no romantic feelings towards you, at least I haven't seen it yet."

As if he was afraid that Mu Yaqi would say he was dull, he went on to explain: "I think I am quite sensitive to this kind of question, so I think I have a certain say."

Mu Yaqi said: "Yes, yes, Young Master Xia is almost mad at you."

Lu Chengfeng raised his eyebrows: "So you know he likes you."

Mu Yaqi: "......"

She was quiet for a moment, and said, "He is still young and can't tell the difference between the types of things he likes. He just likes playing with me and treats me as his sister, so don't be jealous of him."

Lu Chengfeng pursed his lips. It seemed that Mu Yaqi still couldn't see through Young Master Xia's thoughts.

But it doesn't matter, whether Xia Silan or Mu Yaqi doesn't have this intention, as long as one of them doesn't have this intention, then he and Mu Yaqi can basically succeed.

Lu Chengfeng said faintly: "Okay, then I won't bother with the kid."

Mu Yaqi said: "Yes, yes, Mr. Lu is a good man."

Lu Chengfeng snorted softly.

Mu Yaqi said: "Go on, what does Shang Junjie mean to me?"

Lu Chengfeng frowned slightly and said, "I can't explain it clearly, but he is just very special to you."

Mu Yaqi: "......"

He seemed to have said it and yet seemed not to have said it.

Lu Chengfeng said: "When he mentioned you, there was no possessive emotion in his eyes, but he had a certain desire to protect you."

Hearing this, Mu Yaqi opened her eyes wide and looked at him in confusion: "Protective? I haven't even met him, and he wants to protect me?"

Lu Chengfeng said: "This is what I find strange. He won't try to please me just to cooperate with me. Of course, he won't do that."

Lu Chengfeng looked at her and said, "Besides, he doesn't need to protect you to gain my favor in order to achieve cooperation between us."

Mu Yaqi asked: "Then why do you want to cooperate with him?"

Lu Chengfeng's thick eyelashes trembled, and he said, "He said that if you want to ensure your safety, you should cooperate with him."

Mu Yaqi frowned: "Then he still wants to harm me?"

Lu Chengfeng said: "He said that it was Meng Zhe who wanted to harm you, and he didn't want to see that scene, so he asked me to cooperate."

Mu Yaqi frowned even deeper, and asked, "Then why do you think he proposed to cooperate with you out of his special concern for me, rather than out of his desire to rebel against Meng Zhe?"

Lu Chengfeng said: "Do you still remember the accident seven years ago when you were hospitalized?"

Mu Yaqi nodded: "Yes."

Lu Chengfeng said: "The one who shot you was Meng Zhe's sniper. He died that night. Before he died, Shang Junjie crippled his hand."

Mu Yaqi: "......"

Does it have to be so bloody?
