Son of Scum Attack [Rebirth]
Chapter 43
Zhao Lanzhi has been guarding Shen Yan in the hospital, completely abandoning his work.Logically speaking, now is the time for Tang Qiao, who is the second in command of the company, to take the lead.Although there are no relatives or lover lying in the hospital, Tang Qiao's mood is not at all easier than that of Zhao Lanzhi or Shen Weichen.On the contrary, he spent more and more time in the hospital, running back and forth between Tao Fei and Shen Yan's two wards every day, and the doctors and nurses on the entire floor were familiar with him.
Shen Weichen knew about Shen Yan's car accident, so he also went to visit him several times.Although he has no friendship with Shen Yan, Zhao Lanzhi is his respected elder brother after all.
In the first few days, Zhao Lanzhi was completely on the verge of collapse, staying up all night by Shen Yan's side.He was eager to wake Shen Yan up, and sometimes he couldn't even suppress his temper, wishing he could slap the person who closed his eyes a few times to make him open his eyes to look at him, say something to him, and do something for him again. meal.
But no matter how much he cried and shouted, Shen Yan still didn't respond.
Tang Qiao not only had to worry about Shen Yan's physical condition, but also Zhao Lanzhi's psychological condition.Although he secretly found many trustworthy doctors and nurses to pay attention to the situation in Shen Yan's ward, he still had to pay attention to all Tang Huaizhang's actions.At the same time, he must concentrate on dealing with the company's urgent affairs.After a few days, Tang Qiao lost a lot of weight, and his eyes were blue.
It was winter vacation at this time, and Shen Weichen, who didn't have to go to school, spent almost all day in the hospital. Seeing Tang Qiao's appearance, he couldn't help but persuade him: "Uncle Tang, you should go back and have a good rest. I will take care of my mother." , Brother Lan, I will also pay attention to it."
Tang Qiao shook his head wearily. What he was really worried about was not only these. "Don't talk about that, I'll let you contact your grandma and uncle, how's it going?"
Shen Weichen hesitated to speak, "They said that the family has a lot of things to do during the New Year, so they don't have time to come to S City."
Tang Qiao sneered, "What is there to be busy with? It is more important than the lives of my daughter and sister."
"Forget it, Uncle Tang." Shen Weichen said calmly, "I have long been used to their behavior, and there is no need to be angry with them now. I am just worried about my mother. She asked my grandma when she arrived yesterday." Shen Weichen finished speaking, He glanced worriedly at Tao Fei who was sleeping soundly on the hospital bed.
Tang Qiao became more and more irritable, feeling that the ward was too stuffy for people to breathe.He took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, "I'm going to smoke a cigarette."
Shen Weichen frowned and stopped Tang Qiao, "Uncle Tang, when did you start smoking?"
"Not long ago." There are too many troublesome facts recently, even Tang Qiao would have the idea of letting nicotine anesthetize himself.
Shen Weichen said with a straight face, "Smoking is bad for your health, you'd better stop smoking."
Tang Qiao patted Shen Weichen on the shoulder, "Don't worry, I only smoke occasionally."
Shen Weichen stretched out his hand, "Give it to me."
"what?"
"You are only allowed to smoke one, and leave the rest to me for safekeeping."
Tang Qiao couldn't help laughing, and flicked Shen Weichen's smooth forehead vigorously, "You little brat, you still take care of your elders, you are quite courageous."
Shen Weichen pursed his lips and looked at Tang Qiao resentfully.
Tang Qiao handed the remaining cigarettes to Shen Weichen, "It's all right, I'll give you all, can you let me go now?"
Tang Qiao stayed in the hospital for a day and planned to spend the night here.Now that Zhao Lanzhi's situation is getting more and more worrying, he doesn't make a lot of noise. He points his nose and scolds the half-dead Shen Yan. His words suddenly decrease. There are only a handful of words that Tang Qiao can talk to him every day. sentence.Tang Qiao was really worried about Zhao Lanzhi like this.
The snow that had been falling for several days finally stopped, and even at night, it was bright outside.
When Tang Qiao arrived at Shen Yan's ward, she brought a hot supper for Zhao Lanzhi.Zhao Lanzhi ate a few mouthfuls casually, and continued to sit by the bed in a daze.
Tang Qiao knew that Zhao Lanzhi probably wouldn't listen to what she said. The only thing she could do was to stay with Zhao Lanzhi and let him know that she would always be his reliance.
The two sat quietly for a while, and a nurse knocked on the door, "Mr. Zhao, Mr. Tang, there are two visitors."
Tang Qiao asked, "Who is it?"
"It's Mr. Zhao's younger brother and his wife."
Zhao Lanzhi's expression changed slightly, "Zhao Jinzhi? What is he doing here?"
Tang Qiao said: "I just came to visit the third master."
"Ha." Zhao Lanzhi smiled sarcastically, "How is that possible? Zhao Jinzhi hates gay so much, and after knowing my sexuality, he wished he could cut off contact with me completely..."
"Nothing." Tang Qiao said without hesitation, "Jinzhi doesn't discriminate against anyone. He is angry only because you didn't tell him about it." Tang Qiao was a little surprised. The misunderstanding between the two brothers had been resolved long ago. After all, Zhao Jinzhi said that he wanted to have a good talk with Zhao Lanzhi.Now it seems that they are still in the cold war?
The little nurse who didn't get a response said awkwardly: "Mr. Tang, do you want to invite them in?"
Tang Qiao glanced at Zhao Lanzhi, "Bring them in."
After a while, Zhao Jinzhi and Li Yunshu walked into the ward led by the nurse.After a long time no see, Zhao Jinzhi seemed to have gained weight again, probably because he had a good life.Li Yunshu standing next to him was also radiant, with a good complexion and a big belly.They were two extremes with the two tired young men in the ward.
Zhao Jinzhi was holding a fruit basket, and Li Yunshu was holding a large bouquet of flowers.Zhao Lanzhi didn't even look at them, Tang Qiao cheered up and said with a smile, "Why are you here?"
"I'll come and see my brother...and Mr. Shen." Zhao Jinzhi secretly glanced at the expressionless Zhao Lanzhi, "Tang Qiao, is Mr. Shen feeling better?"
Tang Qiao didn't answer directly, but said: "It will get better."
Li Yunshu seemed a little afraid of Zhao Lanzhi, and walked over cautiously, "These are for Mr. Shen, I hope he recovers soon."
Tang Qiao took the words from Li Yunshu's hand, "I thank you on behalf of the third master. By the way, from your appearance, the due date is not far away, right?"
Li Yunshu touched his stomach subconsciously, "Well, next month."
Zhao Lanzhi finally said coldly, "Zhao Jinzhi, why don't you hurry up and take your wife home to recuperate? What are you doing here?"
"Brother, I'm just worried about you."
Zhao Lanzhi sneered, "Forget it."
"Really." Zhao Jinzhi looked anxious, "You haven't contacted me for so long, I asked my parents, and they also said that you haven't come home..."
"What am I doing at home? To bear your scolding?"
"Brother, I didn't... I didn't tell my parents that you are gay."
Zhao Lanzhi turned his head, and finally looked at Zhao Jinzhi, "Why? Don't you want to sever ties with me because I concealed this matter? Why don't you tell your parents so that they can stand on the same front as you."
"I didn't!" Zhao Jinzhi hurriedly said, "I was indeed angry at the beginning because you kept it from me. However, I thought about it. If you have a reason for not telling me, you probably are worried that I hate you... But you are My brother, no matter what you do or what kind of person you are, I will never hate you!"
Zhao Lanzhi clenched his hands on his knees into fists, and said softly, "Just remember that I am your brother."
"Brother, although I don't know Mr. Shen, since he is someone you like, I will treat him well. We are here to visit Mr. Shen sincerely this time, and we also hope that he can wake up as soon as possible."
Zhao Lanzhi's expression was a little touched, his nose was sore, and he said in a muffled voice, "I see."
Seeing that Zhao Lanzhi no longer treated him coldly, Zhao Jinzhi breathed a sigh of relief. "Brother, can you go home with me? My parents are very worried about you. My father is not in good health recently and has been coughing. You should go home and see them."
Tang Qiao also persuaded: "Indeed, you are the one who needs rest the most right now, Zhao Lanzhi. Do the math yourself, how many hours have you slept in these few days?"
Zhao Lanzhi hesitated, "But..."
"Third Master has me here. Don't you feel relieved that I will personally guard him today? If Third Master wakes up and knows that you have ruined his body so much, he will probably hang you up and beat you."
Zhao Lanzhi thought for a while and asked Zhao Jinzhi, "You really didn't tell my parents about me?"
Zhao Jinzhi shook his head again and again, "No! I think you have your own plans, and when the time is right, you will naturally tell your parents. I didn't say a word."
Zhao Lanzhi glanced at Li Yunshu, "But did you tell your wife?"
"Uh..." Zhao Jinzhi scratched his hair uneasily, "But there are no secrets between husband and wife."
Li Yunshu quickly stated: "Brother, don't worry, I won't say anything."
Zhao Lanzhi snorted coldly, and turned to Tang Qiao: "I'll just go back to see my dad for one night, Tang Qiao, I'm counting on you tonight."
Tang Qiao nodded, "Don't worry. You go back and have a good rest."
Zhao Lanzhi looked deeply at Shen Yan, "If this guy reacts, please tell me as soon as possible."
"I see."
After Zhao Jinzhi took Zhao Lanzhi away, Tang Qiao sat alone in the ward. At some point, it started snowing again outside the window. The surrounding area was very quiet, and the snow fell silently.
Tang Qiao remembered a night in his previous life.
It was also on such a snowy night, in the wee hours of the morning, he was walking alone in the silent corridor, with no expression on his face, but he was struggling in his heart.He came to Shen Yan's ward, and the machine that kept Shen Yan alive made a "beep" sound from time to time.
He stood beside the hospital bed, looking at this man whom he had only seen a few times, his palms in the pockets of his white coat were covered with sweat.
He couldn't remember how long he stood there, but a text message alert broke the unnerving silence.
It was Shen Mu's text message, he only said a few words, and then pushed Tang Qiao into the abyss of crime.
--Thanks for everything you have done for me.I love you.
After living a new life, Tang Qiao knew very well that it was not him, nor his newly married wife, who was deeply in love with her.The only thing Shen Mu loves is himself.
The night was getting deeper and deeper, and Tang Qiao was gradually attacked by drowsiness even though he tried to pull himself together. His eyelids were heavy, his consciousness gradually became blurred, and he fell asleep without knowing it.
Tang Qiao's dreams are bizarre.In his dream, he saw Tao Fei's black and white photos hanging on the wall, Shen Weichen's crying face, and Shen Mu's ferocious smile.The scene was constantly changing, Tang Qiao felt his chest getting tighter and tighter, and his breathing became short of breath, struggling to wake up from the dream.
The sound of leather shoes stepping on the floor moved from far to near, and Tang Qiao couldn't tell whether it was reality or a dream.As if suddenly realizing something, Tang Qiao suddenly opened his eyes and grabbed the hand hanging in the air in front of him.
"dad."
Tang Huaizhang froze, not daring to look into Tang Qiao's eyes.
A chill came up from the soles of Tang Qiao's feet, "Are you really going to do that kind of thing? Are you crazy!"
Tang Huaizhang forced himself to be calm, "Let me go."
"Let go of you?" Tang Qiao sneered, "so that you can continue to do what you almost finished? Dad, do you even know what you are doing?"
Tang Huaizhang pressed his eyes, grabbed Tang Qiao's collar fiercely, and said in a low voice, "I don't want to do that either! But I have no choice!"
Tang Qiao was taken aback, "You mean..."
Tang Huaizhang let go of Tang Qiao and covered his face with his hands, "If I don't follow Shen Mu's orders, our family will be finished!"
Tang Qiao narrowed his eyes, "Shen Mu threatened you?"
Tang Huaizhang took a deep breath, glanced at Shen Yan who was lying on the hospital bed, and said softly, "Let's talk in my office."
The two came to Tang Huaizhang's office. Tang Huaizhang did not open the door, but opened the curtains.The cold moonlight came in through the window, but Tang Qiao still couldn't see clearly the face of Tang Huaizhang sitting opposite.
Tang Huaizhang slumped on the chair weakly, and spoke slowly. "Tang Qiao, I don't have any background. I have been working hard since graduating from medical school. Without the Shen family, I would not be where I am today."
Tang Qiao said: "We have almost paid back what the Shen family gave us. Dad, there is absolutely no need for you to listen to Shen Muyan now."
Tang Huaizhang laughed at himself, "It's as easy for the Shen family to suppress me as it is to praise me. Tang Qiao, do you think my role in the Shen family is just a personal doctor?"
Tang Qiao's heart sank, he realized now that he had thought too simply about the relationship between the Shen family and theirs.
"Before Shen Chang passed away, my hands were already stained with blood. Shen Chang had countless mistresses. Some Mrs. Shen didn't pay attention to them at all, and some would threaten Mrs. Shen and Shen Mu if they happened to become pregnant. status..." Tang Huaizhang paused, and smiled wryly, "There are more than one or two fetuses who died in my hands."
Tang Qiao's face was serious, "I know all this. But..."
"Once there is a beginning, some things cannot be turned back. In the end, the more I did for the Shen family, the more debts I owed. Now, I have no way to get out. The people of the Shen family will always stay behind." There is evidence that can put me to death. As long as I say 'no', they can immediately find someone to replace me after they finish me..."
Tang Qiao looked at Tang Huaizhang in disbelief, feeling a bone-chilling coldness in his heart.The person he respected the most since he was a child, his father, has long been trapped in the quagmire of sin, and he doesn't even have the right to struggle.
Tang Qiao was silent for a while, then said softly, "Why didn't you tell me these things?"
"What's the use of telling you? Tang Qiao, when you told me that you didn't want to be a doctor and start your own business without relying on the strength of the Shen family, I'm really happy. At least this way you don't have to follow in my footsteps." Tang Huaizhang closed his eyes wearily. Eyes closed, "Let me bear all the results, you don't have to worry about anything, you just need to do your own thing."
After the shock, Tang Qiao gradually calmed down.It seems that it is a good choice for him to maintain a superficial friendship with Shen Mu all these years. If he had already torn his face, Tang Qiao would not even know how he died.Shen Chang had died a few years ago, and Shen Yan was also lying half dead in the hospital. There was only one Shen Mu left in the Shen family. All the evidence of Tang Huaizhang's past was in Shen Mu's hands, so Shen Mu could order Tang Huaizhang to do anything without any scruples. .
No matter what, Tang Qiao must not let something happen to Shen Yan, and at the same time, he must do his best to keep Tang Huaizhang.And the key person in all of this is Shen Mu.
"Dad, I still say that, you don't do anything."
"I already told you, I have no choice."
"The Shen family, I'll take care of it."
Tang Huaizhang said in surprise: "How did you manage it? Tang Qiao, don't mess around, your future is very bright, don't be because of me..."
Tang Qiao interrupted Tang Huaizhang, "Don't worry, I know it well. Dad, Shen Yan is not someone to mess with. I can be sure that if you really do that, Shen Mu will hand you over in a short time. , in order to retreat completely."
Tang Huaizhang still hesitated, "Tang Qiao, we can't beat the Shen family."
"Dad," Tang Qiao said firmly, "please trust me once. Promise me that you will not do anything."
"..."
Tang Qiao repeated eagerly: "Promise me!"
Tang Huaizhang gritted his teeth, "Okay."
Tang Qiao booked a plane ticket overnight and flew to the place where Shen Mu was spending her honeymoon - a tropical island.
Tang Qiao hadn't slept for the two of them in a row. When she saw Shen Mu, her eyes were bloodshot and her face was frighteningly pale.
And Shen Mu only wore a pair of swimming trunks and sunglasses, basking comfortably on the beach.He was not surprised to see Tang Qiao, and looked at his "friend" for many years through the sunglasses, "I heard from my secretary, are you looking for me?"
Tang Qiao took a deep breath, "That's right."
Shen Mu said lazily: "What's the big deal? You even made you fly halfway around the world to find me here."
Tang Qiao didn't answer, but asked, "Where's your lovely wife?"
"Who knows." Shen Mu shrugged, "I'm probably playing group sex with some tough men."
Tang Qiao said expressionlessly, "Aren't you afraid of getting sick?"
Shen Mu laughed, "You guys are not afraid, what do I have to be afraid of?"
"Your uncle is lying in the hospital. It seems that you are not worried at all, but have a good time."
Shen Mu said casually: "This is why I am happy."
Tang Qiao gritted her teeth and clenched her fists, resisting the urge to grab Shen Mu's neck.
Shen Mu took off his sunglasses, and looked at Tang Qiao calmly in his eyes. "Let me guess the reason why you came to me. I haven't heard any news about Shen Yan yet... This means that you came to me because of Tang Huaizhang's affairs."
Tang Qiao said coldly: "You are very smart."
Shen Mu said with a half-smile, "So? Are you here to ask him to let him go, my dear uncle?"
"No matter what Shen Yan says, he is my relative."
Shen Mu's eyes turned cold, "Do you think he regards me as a relative? He took everything from me and even drove me abroad! In his eyes, I'm just an arrogant brat who can't accomplish anything. Wait until my dad dies , he couldn’t wait to snatch things from me, and all I’m doing now is to get back what originally belonged to me.”
Shen Mu's expression sent chills down Tang Qiao's spine, "That's also your Shen family's business, and I don't want my dad to be involved. Can you let him go?"
Shen Mu showed a shallow smile, "Are you begging me?"
Tang Qiao felt cold in his heart, gritted his teeth and said, "Yes."
"Tang Qiao, this is the path Tang Huaizhang chose himself. I think he was ready when he set foot on the Shen family's boat. I have to say that your father is very capable. No matter what is entrusted to him, he will It can be done beautifully." Shen Mu shook his head with a sigh, "I admire him very much, if he leaves, I will lose more than a little."
Tang Qiao had expected that Shen Mu would not easily agree to his request. "I'll give you whatever you want, as long as you let him go."
Shen Mu's eyes were cold, "You are really a filial son. But you can't give me anything." Shen Mu sat up and said slowly, "Tang Qiao, how many years have I known each other? 20 years? 25 years?"
"You don't need to tell me these meaningless things."
Shen Mu narrowed his eyes slightly, "What I said to you in my garden last time still counts."
"What do you mean?"
Shen Mu hooked his lips, "Father pays the debt, come to me, I will let Tang Huaizhang go, what do you think?"
Tang Qiao opened his eyes wide, "You..."
"That's right." Shen Mu nodded, "What I want is you."
Even though it was a scorching sun, Tang Qiao felt his body was getting cold and his heart was beating faster and faster.
Shen Mu seemed very satisfied with Tang Qiao's reaction. "Speaking of which, you promised me to work for me, and now I'm just helping you fulfill your promise to me. I know that you are developing very well in China now, and you can be regarded as a young talent in City S. But if you follow me, I won't let you suffer. Whether you want to accept my invitation or not is up to you to consider."
"Shen Mu," Tang Qiao laughed angrily, "Why me? There are many capable people, why are you so attached to me? Do you want me to work for you, or do you want to sleep with me?"
Shen Mu still smiled, "To be honest, I don't know either. But no matter what I want to do, you must be by my side. I will give you half a month to think about it. After half a month, I will come back The United States. If you agree to my conditions, please take care of everything in the country within half a month. I will wait for you in the United States. If you do not agree, then no matter what I do, you have no right to dictate to me .”
Shen Weichen knew about Shen Yan's car accident, so he also went to visit him several times.Although he has no friendship with Shen Yan, Zhao Lanzhi is his respected elder brother after all.
In the first few days, Zhao Lanzhi was completely on the verge of collapse, staying up all night by Shen Yan's side.He was eager to wake Shen Yan up, and sometimes he couldn't even suppress his temper, wishing he could slap the person who closed his eyes a few times to make him open his eyes to look at him, say something to him, and do something for him again. meal.

The sound of leather shoes stepping on the floor moved from far to near, and Tang Qiao couldn't tell whether it was reality or a dream.As if suddenly realizing something, Tang Qiao suddenly opened his eyes and grabbed the hand hanging in the air in front of him.
"dad."
Tang Huaizhang froze, not daring to look into Tang Qiao's eyes.
A chill came up from the soles of Tang Qiao's feet, "Are you really going to do that kind of thing? Are you crazy!"
Tang Huaizhang forced himself to be calm, "Let me go."
"Let go of you?" Tang Qiao sneered, "so that you can continue to do what you almost finished? Dad, do you even know what you are doing?"
Tang Huaizhang pressed his eyes, grabbed Tang Qiao's collar fiercely, and said in a low voice, "I don't want to do that either! But I have no choice!"
Tang Qiao was taken aback, "You mean..."
Tang Huaizhang let go of Tang Qiao and covered his face with his hands, "If I don't follow Shen Mu's orders, our family will be finished!"
Tang Qiao narrowed his eyes, "Shen Mu threatened you?"
Tang Huaizhang took a deep breath, glanced at Shen Yan who was lying on the hospital bed, and said softly, "Let's talk in my office."
The two came to Tang Huaizhang's office. Tang Huaizhang did not open the door, but opened the curtains.The cold moonlight came in through the window, but Tang Qiao still couldn't see clearly the face of Tang Huaizhang sitting opposite.
Tang Huaizhang slumped on the chair weakly, and spoke slowly. "Tang Qiao, I don't have any background. I have been working hard since graduating from medical school. Without the Shen family, I would not be where I am today."
Tang Qiao said: "We have almost paid back what the Shen family gave us. Dad, there is absolutely no need for you to listen to Shen Muyan now."
Tang Huaizhang laughed at himself, "It's as easy for the Shen family to suppress me as it is to praise me. Tang Qiao, do you think my role in the Shen family is just a personal doctor?"
Tang Qiao's heart sank, he realized now that he had thought too simply about the relationship between the Shen family and theirs.
"Before Shen Chang passed away, my hands were already stained with blood. Shen Chang had countless mistresses. Some Mrs. Shen didn't pay attention to them at all, and some would threaten Mrs. Shen and Shen Mu if they happened to become pregnant. status..." Tang Huaizhang paused, and smiled wryly, "There are more than one or two fetuses who died in my hands."
Tang Qiao's face was serious, "I know all this. But..."
"Once there is a beginning, some things cannot be turned back. In the end, the more I did for the Shen family, the more debts I owed. Now, I have no way to get out. The people of the Shen family will always stay behind." There is evidence that can put me to death. As long as I say 'no', they can immediately find someone to replace me after they finish me..."
Tang Qiao looked at Tang Huaizhang in disbelief, feeling a bone-chilling coldness in his heart.The person he respected the most since he was a child, his father, has long been trapped in the quagmire of sin, and he doesn't even have the right to struggle.
Tang Qiao was silent for a while, then said softly, "Why didn't you tell me these things?"
"What's the use of telling you? Tang Qiao, when you told me that you didn't want to be a doctor and start your own business without relying on the strength of the Shen family, I'm really happy. At least this way you don't have to follow in my footsteps." Tang Huaizhang closed his eyes wearily. Eyes closed, "Let me bear all the results, you don't have to worry about anything, you just need to do your own thing."
After the shock, Tang Qiao gradually calmed down.It seems that it is a good choice for him to maintain a superficial friendship with Shen Mu all these years. If he had already torn his face, Tang Qiao would not even know how he died.Shen Chang had died a few years ago, and Shen Yan was also lying half dead in the hospital. There was only one Shen Mu left in the Shen family. All the evidence of Tang Huaizhang's past was in Shen Mu's hands, so Shen Mu could order Tang Huaizhang to do anything without any scruples. .
No matter what, Tang Qiao must not let something happen to Shen Yan, and at the same time, he must do his best to keep Tang Huaizhang.And the key person in all of this is Shen Mu.
"Dad, I still say that, you don't do anything."
"I already told you, I have no choice."
"The Shen family, I'll take care of it."
Tang Huaizhang said in surprise: "How did you manage it? Tang Qiao, don't mess around, your future is very bright, don't be because of me..."
Tang Qiao interrupted Tang Huaizhang, "Don't worry, I know it well. Dad, Shen Yan is not someone to mess with. I can be sure that if you really do that, Shen Mu will hand you over in a short time. , in order to retreat completely."
Tang Huaizhang still hesitated, "Tang Qiao, we can't beat the Shen family."
"Dad," Tang Qiao said firmly, "please trust me once. Promise me that you will not do anything."
"..."
Tang Qiao repeated eagerly: "Promise me!"
Tang Huaizhang gritted his teeth, "Okay."
Tang Qiao booked a plane ticket overnight and flew to the place where Shen Mu was spending her honeymoon - a tropical island.
Tang Qiao hadn't slept for the two of them in a row. When she saw Shen Mu, her eyes were bloodshot and her face was frighteningly pale.
And Shen Mu only wore a pair of swimming trunks and sunglasses, basking comfortably on the beach.He was not surprised to see Tang Qiao, and looked at his "friend" for many years through the sunglasses, "I heard from my secretary, are you looking for me?"
Tang Qiao took a deep breath, "That's right."
Shen Mu said lazily: "What's the big deal? You even made you fly halfway around the world to find me here."
Tang Qiao didn't answer, but asked, "Where's your lovely wife?"
"Who knows." Shen Mu shrugged, "I'm probably playing group sex with some tough men."
Tang Qiao said expressionlessly, "Aren't you afraid of getting sick?"
Shen Mu laughed, "You guys are not afraid, what do I have to be afraid of?"
"Your uncle is lying in the hospital. It seems that you are not worried at all, but have a good time."
Shen Mu said casually: "This is why I am happy."
Tang Qiao gritted her teeth and clenched her fists, resisting the urge to grab Shen Mu's neck.
Shen Mu took off his sunglasses, and looked at Tang Qiao calmly in his eyes. "Let me guess the reason why you came to me. I haven't heard any news about Shen Yan yet... This means that you came to me because of Tang Huaizhang's affairs."
Tang Qiao said coldly: "You are very smart."
Shen Mu said with a half-smile, "So? Are you here to ask him to let him go, my dear uncle?"
"No matter what Shen Yan says, he is my relative."
Shen Mu's eyes turned cold, "Do you think he regards me as a relative? He took everything from me and even drove me abroad! In his eyes, I'm just an arrogant brat who can't accomplish anything. Wait until my dad dies , he couldn’t wait to snatch things from me, and all I’m doing now is to get back what originally belonged to me.”
Shen Mu's expression sent chills down Tang Qiao's spine, "That's also your Shen family's business, and I don't want my dad to be involved. Can you let him go?"
Shen Mu showed a shallow smile, "Are you begging me?"
Tang Qiao felt cold in his heart, gritted his teeth and said, "Yes."
"Tang Qiao, this is the path Tang Huaizhang chose himself. I think he was ready when he set foot on the Shen family's boat. I have to say that your father is very capable. No matter what is entrusted to him, he will It can be done beautifully." Shen Mu shook his head with a sigh, "I admire him very much, if he leaves, I will lose more than a little."
Tang Qiao had expected that Shen Mu would not easily agree to his request. "I'll give you whatever you want, as long as you let him go."
Shen Mu's eyes were cold, "You are really a filial son. But you can't give me anything." Shen Mu sat up and said slowly, "Tang Qiao, how many years have I known each other? 20 years? 25 years?"
"You don't need to tell me these meaningless things."
Shen Mu narrowed his eyes slightly, "What I said to you in my garden last time still counts."
"What do you mean?"
Shen Mu hooked his lips, "Father pays the debt, come to me, I will let Tang Huaizhang go, what do you think?"
Tang Qiao opened his eyes wide, "You..."
"That's right." Shen Mu nodded, "What I want is you."
Even though it was a scorching sun, Tang Qiao felt his body was getting cold and his heart was beating faster and faster.
Shen Mu seemed very satisfied with Tang Qiao's reaction. "Speaking of which, you promised me to work for me, and now I'm just helping you fulfill your promise to me. I know that you are developing very well in China now, and you can be regarded as a young talent in City S. But if you follow me, I won't let you suffer. Whether you want to accept my invitation or not is up to you to consider."
"Shen Mu," Tang Qiao laughed angrily, "Why me? There are many capable people, why are you so attached to me? Do you want me to work for you, or do you want to sleep with me?"
Shen Mu still smiled, "To be honest, I don't know either. But no matter what I want to do, you must be by my side. I will give you half a month to think about it. After half a month, I will come back The United States. If you agree to my conditions, please take care of everything in the country within half a month. I will wait for you in the United States. If you do not agree, then no matter what I do, you have no right to dictate to me .”
