Chapter 397: Chapter 398 Min Rou’s Indifference
The time Manager Tian and the rescue team rushed over was much faster than I expected. What surprised me more was that Dong Xiaoye also followed them in. She was obviously shocked when she noticed that Liu Xiaosheng was heavily wounded, and I was exhausted, but she did not ask me anything; she just silently helped me up.
When we walked out of the hunting park with the rescue team carrying Liu Xiaosheng, it was obvious what kind of reaction everyone would have.
Seeing the tragic state of Liu Xiaosheng, everyone’s face changed instantly. Li Song even burst out crying. I finally understood what kind of excitement she wanted to pursue. It was the feeling of walking on the verge of death. It was very stimulating, but I swore that I would never join any stupid hunting game again.
That rich girl was rather naive in her understanding of the word ‘exciting’.
I did not know if Xingyu would blame me, and I didn’t explain anything to her, because I did not want to say that Liu Xiaosheng did that to himself, even if that is the fact. I chose to sit silently on the side, and let Chu Yuan, Liusu, and Shu Tong comfort me. I did not have the joy of escaping the danger. I just wondered that if the person lying now was me, would Liu Xiaosheng have the same mood as me?
Probably not…
Mother Shu and Grandma Shu still had a lingering fear. Father Shu felt fortunate that he did not go with us. No one expected that there would be such an accident, and the wolf would be such a fierce beast. In addition, no one expected that Liu Xiaosheng would be carried out of the park…
Min Rou was standing on the side and looking at people moving around busily without saying anything. It was not until Liu Xiaosheng was carried into the car after a simple treatment that she unexpectedly walked over and said to Liu Xiaosheng with a gloomy expression, “Mr. Liu, what you did today was too much.”
What was Min Rou doing? I didn’t even complain, so why did she need to speak to Liu Xiaosheng in such a harsh tone? Seeing that Liu Xiaosheng did not respond, I couldn’t help but pull Min Rur behind me and say. “That’s enough.”
Min Rou stared at me in a daze for a while, before she sighed and said with a wry smile, “You are really a stupid good guy…”
I didn’t want to argue with her. This was not a problem of being too soft-hearted. Liu Xiaosheng had already got the punishment he deserved. It was tens of thousands of times worse than scolding him. So there was no need to add salt to his injury…
Min Rou poked her head over my shoulder and said coldly to Liu Xiaosheng, “This is an accident. I believe you know how to explain it to others, don’t you? Mr.Liu.”
Min Rou’s tone and demeanor all gave me a feeling she had never given me before. It was indifferent, cold, and arrogant. Even after she saw the dreadful look of Liu Xiaosheng, she did not even bat an eye. Just this indifference and calmness alone was very unusual. After I noticed these, my heart tightened. Her tone sounded like she was threatening Liu Xiaosheng.
“Don’t worry, Miss Min,” Liu Xiaosheng said with a flat tone and stared blankly at the ceiling of the car. “I am not a sore loser. Since I can become a member of Moon Valley, naturally, I will not cause trouble for Moon Valley.”
Min Rou smiled lightly, “Thank you.”
I was dazed. Why did Liu Xiaosheng say this? What was Min Rou’s relationship with the Moon Valley?
Liu Xiaosheng turned his head toward me and showed a complicated smile, “But I don’t understand, how am I not better than him? Miss Min, why do people like you favor him over me?”
“Originally, I also did not understand it, but now I began to realize it slowly. Mr. Liu, it’s exactly because you did not understand that you are the one who is lying here, not him.” Min Rou said and nodded to Manager Tian, signaling Manager Tian to close the door of the car.
So the owner of this place was not the Third Lady, but Min Rou!
I was surprised, but it seemed to me that I was the only one who was surprised by Min Rou’s identity. Guo Xiang and Zhang Mingjie seemed to know the identity of Min Rou. They were only surprised by my relationship with Min Rou.
“Xiao Nan, I know that Liu Xiaosheng’s injury has nothing to do with you, so don’t think that much. You also need to go to the hospital to check if you have other injuries. After that, you can go home early and have a good rest. I will speak to Xingyu. I think she also understands what kind of person her elder brother is, so she won’t blame you.” Guo Xiang tried to pat me on the shoulder, but seeing the claw marks on my shoulder, he shook my hand instead.
Then, together with Zhang Mingjie and Zhang Peiwen, he got into the car and went to the hospital with Liu Xiaosheng.
Seeing the taillights disappear in the forest road, I had all kinds of different feelings in my heart. Min Rou turned around and put on a fake smiling face as if she was a completely different person, “Mr. Chu, it’s great that you are unharmed…”
“Are you the owner here?”
Min Rou was dazed. Seeing that Chu Yuan and the Shu family were standing far away from us, and it was unlikely that they would hear our conversation, she nodded and said in a low voice, “Yes, but I didn’t lie, I’m just a puppet owner. The real owner of this club is actually the Third Lady. It’s just that not many people in Bei Tian city know about this.”
“That doesn’t seem to be the only thing you are trying to hide from me.” I coldly stared at her eyes, “You knew Liu Xiaosheng would come here today, that’s why you brought me here, right?”
People’s eyes would not lie, so Min Rou’s fake composure could not deceive me, “If I said no, would you believe it?”
I did not answer, “That Siberian tiger’s whip was clearly the bait you used to lure him to meet with me. As soon as you left the room to answer the phone, he entered the room… You think there will be this many coincidences in the world? You knew he’d invite me to this hunting game. Are you disappointed that I didn’t die?”
“Mr. Chu, you shouldn’t say this,” Min Rou’s facial expression instantly changed. She was a little panicked, seemingly very scared of such an accusation, “I didn’t know that Liu Xiaosheng had told the staff specifically not to remove the wolf’s fangs. In fact, Manager Tian only found out about it before releasing the wolf, but he informed me immediately afterward. I admit that I wanted to use Liu Xiaosheng to give you some trouble, but I only wanted to embarrass you. I didn’t want to harm you. After we found out about it, we immediately went in to look for you. Otherwise, why do you think the rescue team would arrive so fast?…”
“Since Manager Tian knew beforehand, why did he not stop the hunting game?! You think I would believe this kind of lie?” I said angrily.
Min Rou shook her head and said with a bitter smile, “Liu Xiaosheng is a senior member of the Moon Valley. The Moon Valley Club is not only just this ecological garden. It also includes hotels, hot springs, sports clubs, high-end entertainment clubs, and other things. Liu Xiaosheng spends at least a few million directly in the Moon Valley Club every year. In addition, the guests he brings to the club also have some background. This has a vital influence on the development of our club, so… Not to mention Manager Tian, even if it was me, I would also need to think twice before rejecting his request. After all, we didn’t expect that a wolf would be that dangerous…”
Min Rou was telling the truth. The club of this nature did need some support from people with backgrounds. Coupled with the particularity of the customer group, it was obviously irrational to offend customers. Moreover, although it was scary that the wolf’s teeth were not removed, it was not necessarily difficult to hunt it. For example, when the wolf suddenly appeared, it only targeted me. It was Liu Xiaosheng who deliberately gave up many chances to shoot it. In the end, he lost his weapon because he wanted to harm me, making us become the prey of the wolf instead of hunters…
I believed Min Roo because I believed that she had no reason to harm me. “You said you want to use Liu Xiaosheng to embarrass me, why?”
Seeing that my tone had eased, Min Rou gave a long sigh of relief and helped me to adjust my collars. She smiled and said, “It’s not that I want to embarrass you, it’s the Third Lady.”
“Her?” I frowned, “Why?”
“Because you have embarrassed her before.”
“I have embarrassed her before?” I have never even met her before, so how did I embarrass her?
Seeing my puzzled face, Min Rou thought for a second and said with a smile, “I’ll just tell you directly, Mr. Chu, whether it’s the tempting negotiation condition or receiving Miss Shu’s family, do you know why the Third Lady wants to help you?”
If I knew it, I wouldn’t be puzzled.
Min Rou stretched out two fingers and said, “Because she owed you two favors.”
She owed me two favors? I thought for a moment and said, “One of them is that I’ve indirectly helped her acquire the Long Corporate Group?”
“Yes, you have helped her greatly in that matter, so she will work with whichever company you are working in. She wants to return that favor.”
“What is the other favor?”
“The other one…” Min Rou smiled cunningly, “The other favor matters to her much more than acquiring the Long Corporate Group, but that’s not for me to tell you. If you see her in the future, she will tell you herself.”
As if the wolf’s blood penetrated into my body, I felt there was a kind of restless savagery in my body. I said with a cold face, “Don’t tell me that she forced Ziyuan to… is also because she wants to return the favor to me?” If Min Rou dared to nod, I would definitely slap her without hesitation.
“No, that’s her revenge against you…”
