Chapter 250: Chapter 250 The True Face of Chen Shu is Revealed
Gu Siyu was completely stunned.
The girl was clearly three or four years younger than her, yet her aura was so strong.
So much so that the moment when the girl approached her and looked straight into her eyes, she even forgot to breathe, totally falling into those beautiful and tranquil dark pupils.
And the last sentence spoken by the girl, along with the action of pinching her chin, made her heart thump rapidly, her ears turning red instantly.
However, after the embarrassment passed and she realized what Lu Sheng had just said, Gu Siyu was even more shocked.
She didn’t know how Lu Sheng knew all this.
But when Lu Sheng asked her who was behind her, she indeed dared not say.
Her identity in the Gu Family was awkward and cautious. Aside from her elder brother who was kinder to her, everyone else saw her as a thorn in their side, and she had no one to rely on.
Let alone the issue of money, she wouldn’t dare provoke a man of status like Crohn or reveal his identity.
But the four points the girl mentioned just now were piercingly accurate.
Firstly, she hadn’t received the seven million yet, and it was unlikely she ever would. Even if she did get the money, it wouldn’t completely solve the problem with the debt collectors.
Secondly, she had indeed already offended Crohn by failing her task. Just last night in the hotel, Crohn had already threatened her, and even if she said nothing, she might still suffer his revenge.
Seeing Gu Siyu’s pale face sinking into thought, Lu Sheng knew her words had shaken her. 𝓷ℴ𝓋𝓅𝓊𝒷.𝒸𝓸𝓶
So, Lu Sheng continued: "Your concerns are nothing but two things; wanting to get rid of those debt collectors and not wanting to be retaliated against by the person directing you."
"As I said just now, whether you pay them or not, you cannot completely free yourself from those debt collectors."
"The only way to completely get rid of them is to make them disappear."
Hearing Lu Sheng say this, Gu Siyu’s eyes widened with fright, "Do you mean... that I should kill them all?"
Gu Siyu’s lips trembled nervously, but Lu Sheng suddenly smiled slightly and tapped on her head, "What are you thinking about, this is a society ruled by law."
Seeing the girl smile for the first time, like warm and dazzling sunlight in winter, Gu Siyu bit her lip, her heartbeat speeding uncontrollably: "Then you mean..."
Lu Sheng said, "My friend has checked for me; those harassing you for debts are international fugitives, and have also used fake identities to enter China."
"Before I came to see you, I had anonymously sent their details and living addresses to the Jiang City police, so they should already be taking action to arrest them."
"Usurious loans are not protected by law. Once these people are arrested by the police, whether they are tried and serve sentences domestically or are extradited abroad, they won’t be able to come after you anymore, and your mother’s debt will naturally no longer be your concern."
"...Really?"
Gu Siyu’s eyes widened in shock.
Can it really be done this way? The girl is amazing, and so is her friend!
"As for not wanting to be retaliated against by the person directing you," Lu Sheng said, "first of all, I will not reveal what you’ve told me. Secondly, even if that person finds out, I have the ability to protect you."
"Even if you don’t believe in me, you should know what kind of person Li Muchen is."
"With him around, at least in Jiang City, before I deal with that person, no one could harm you."
"Just tell me the whole story, and I promise you, whether now or later, we will protect you."
Hearing Lu Sheng say this, Gu Siyu took a deep breath.
After a psychological struggle, she finally spoke up:
"...I don’t know who this Chen Shu you mentioned is, but the person who had me do this was the man who was at the cafe with you last night."
"I only know his name is Crohn, but his servant addresses him as Duke, so I think his identity must be extraordinary."
...Duke Crohn?
Upon hearing this, Lu Sheng’s eyes suddenly sharpened.
It really is Chen Shu.
The person with ulterior motives and plots, it really is him.
Gu Siyu didn’t know what Lu Sheng was thinking now, and continued: "The first time I met that Crohn was a month ago when I came to Jiang City on a business trip."
"At that time, the Li Group had already expressed their intention to buy that piece of land to us in Shengda. My brother sent me to Jiang City to scout first, and it was then that Crohn found me."
"...Wait," Lu Sheng interrupted Gu Siyu, "You’re saying that Crohn had already been to Jiang City more than a month ago?"
Last night at the restaurant, Chen Shu still said he had just learned of Juanjuan’s whereabouts, and it was his first time coming to China.
So, he has been deceiving her since the beginning.
"Yes," Gu Siyu nodded, "After he found me, he told me he knew I owed seven million yuan to high-interest loan sharks chasing me. He said if I did one thing for him, he could give me seven million yuan to pay off the debt."
"And that task was, when I came to Jiang City on a business trip next time, to... to seduce President Li, try to entice President Li to have an affair. Basically, what I was to do was to destroy President Li and your relationship."
Lu Sheng had already guessed this task.
But the question is, why?
Why does Chen Shu want to ruin her relationship with Li Muchen, does he have a grudge against Li Muchen, or is he targeting her?
Lu Sheng frowned slightly and asked Gu Siyu, "Did Crohn tell you why he wanted you to do this?"
"No," Gu Siyu shook her head, "I’m just helping him with his tasks, why would he tell me his purpose, but..."
Hearing Gu Siyu say ’but’, Lu Sheng immediately asked, "But what?"
"But last night, just before I went to the Lu Family to find you, I had seen him at the hotel."
Gu Siyu said, "Just before I left, I accidentally overheard him talking to himself."
"I heard him say in a very obsessed and affectionate tone, ’Shengsheng, I will take you away, I will let you become again...’ as to what he’ll let her become, I didn’t catch it clearly."
