    "Old Chu is fine, he can be a director in a week at most, yes, yes, the company has troubled you during this time, Chu Yao is still young, and there are many things he doesn't understand, so an old man like you needs to remind you to be young."man..."

    When she hung up the phone, the smile on Xue Lu's face froze.

    She quickly withdrew her smile, and cursed secretly: "When you see an opportunity, you want to take advantage of it. They are all old foxes!"

    After venting a sentence, the mobile phone in his hand rang again, and it was another shareholder of Shengming Group.

    Xue Lu had no choice but to hang up her smile again, and connected the phone: "So it's Dong Li, you are..."

    In this way, starting from the hospital and on the way home from the hospital, similar calls and text messages appeared almost endlessly.

    In the past few days, with Chu Tiancheng admitted to the hospital, Xue Lu has been bombarded by a lot of information.

    The scandal caused by the Chu family seriously affected Shengming's reputation, but Chu Tiancheng, who had the decision-making power, was rescued with great difficulty, and he has not been moved out of the intensive care unit, so he cannot be a director for the time being.This also made Shengming miss the best time to resolve the crisis.

    His fall also makes people have to think about a problem.

    ——Brothers competing for wives is enough to defeat the favor of passers-by. The chairman who made Shengming Group bigger and stronger all the way passed out and was hospitalized frequently. Seeing that his health is failing, even if he recovers this time, how many years can he last?So in the future, will the reputation be handed over to the eldest son who has been brainwashed by PUA since he was a child, has never been in contact with finance, and is not good at business, or will he be in the hands of the second son who is a scum and scum?

    With these two unreliable candidates in front of them, one can't help but wonder: Does Shengming Group really have a future?

    A mess of scandals, a person in power who is not healthy, and an unreliable successor are enough to make many people pessimistic about the company's prospects, and also make the prestigious stock price start to fluctuate.

    Even shareholders can't help but think otherwise.

    Chu Tiancheng could hold them down when he was around, but he fell down.The power vacuum left behind is like a golden apple, attracting everyone with the slightest ambition.If there is an opportunity to become a famous real decision-maker and hold a huge group in his hands, who would like to be just a dividend-paying shareholder?

    ——In this case, even if Shengming's stock price has dropped, the value of the shares in Su Ying's hands has not decreased but increased.The 15% share he inherited from his biological mother is enough to become a bargaining chip in the battle for a prestigious manager. These days, he has received many offers from shareholders.

    When internal turmoil is imminent, the external environment is not stable, and business competitors are taking the opportunity to make troubles, and they are very strict about the usage of the idiom "to add insult to injury".

    With the situation so complicated, it's no wonder that Xue Lu was physically and mentally exhausted, as if she had worked overtime for three days and three nights.

    She is not proficient in business. Apart from going to the hospital to see Chu Tiancheng every day and praying for him to recover as soon as possible, she can only hope that her son who is currently taking the place of her husband in the company is a genius in business and can turn the tide when the storm is turbulent.

    Unfortunately, this is not the case.

    On the contrary, she still has to find ways to win over shareholders for her son, and deal with those who beat around the bush and test her husband's physical condition.

    For a while, Xue Lu was very busy.

    After dealing with the last phone call, Xue Lu had already returned to the gate of her villa.She pushed open the door and walked in with exhaustion all over her body. The room was groggy and there was no light.

    Makes it look like she walked into the gaping jaws of a monster.

    "Why is it so dark today?"

    Xue Lu leaned against the wall, and was about to turn on the light, when she suddenly saw a black shadow in the shape of a human not far ahead.

    In the thick darkness, the black shadow moved slightly, as if a pair of eyes were fixed on her, making her feel extremely dangerous as if she was being locked by a large beast.!!!

    For a moment, Xue Lu's scalp went numb.It seemed that a cluster of electric currents rose from the spine, along the spine all the way to the top of the head.

    She froze in place, not daring to move.

    Is it a thief?Or... a more dangerous robber?How did he break in?How long have you been in the villa?

    Bang bang bang.Xue Lu heard her heart beating uncontrollably, she subconsciously wanted to escape, but she didn't dare.

    The group of figures in the darkness just stared straight at her, and the viscous danger wrapped around her body as if it had turned into substance.During the short confrontation, the man finally spoke:

    "The car accident twenty-two years ago was not simple, was it?"

    The voice was hoarse, dark, and gloomy.

    "Have you forgotten the real cause of Bai Wei's death?"

    Xue Lu's pupils trembled, and she took several steps back.

    "What are you talking about? I don't understand." After a momentary gaffe, she categorically denied, "Who are you?"

    Whoosh—

    The black shadow suddenly approached her rapidly, and there was a faint sound of something sliding quickly on the ground. In her sight, there was only a group of rapidly approaching and distorted shadows, like a poisonous snake suddenly jumping up in the darkness, rushing towards her.

    Danger, danger, danger!

    The approach of the dangerous breath made Xue Lu's body stiff.

    Slap.

    It was as if someone had snapped their fingers.

    All the lights in the room were turned on in an instant, and Xue Lu couldn't help squinting her eyes due to the dazzling light. After getting used to it, she found a familiar figure standing in front of her.

    The distance between the two is close at hand.

    "Yo~" The young man in the wheelchair still kept snapping his fingers, but stretched out his five fingers and waved at her with a smile, "Good evening! Welcome home!"

    Xue Lu: "???" Are you seriously ill?

    She belatedly recalled that the strange sliding sound just now was actually the sound of the wheelchair sliding quickly on the ground.

    Looking around, Xue Lu realized that all the curtains had been pulled down, covering the whole living room airtight.

    She had question marks all over her head: "What tricks are you doing?"

    Su Ying replied in the same tone: "I'm welcoming you home?"

    "..." I'm afraid they want to send me to the hospital again.

    "How is it? Such a unique welcome ceremony must be impressive?" Su Ying looked at her with bright eyes, "Did it help you recall the details that were missed in the car accident 22 years ago?"

    Only now did Xue Lu see his eyes, excited, curious, and full of anticipation, as if she wanted to open the deepest secret of her soul.

    For a moment, she almost thought that this familiar body was filled with some inhuman monster.

    Putting aside the momentary illusion, Xue Lu calmed down and breathed slowly on the spot: "... I have always been sorry for that accident. But people can't be resurrected after death, and you are messing around with things that happened so many years ago... It's enough!"

    After finishing speaking, she leaned on the wall and stood up slowly, walked around Su Ying and walked towards the stairs, with a tired expression: "Isn't there not enough things recently? Don't worry about it. I'm really tired today, go upstairs to rest first."

    "Eh? Is that so?"

    Behind her, a young voice suddenly sounded: "But someone told me today that the car accident back then was not simple, and they also said the cause of my mother's death. Aunt Xue, you know very well."

    Su Ying talked nonsense casually.

    Xue Lu believed it.

    She paused, then turned around, with only slandered anger on her face: "Who is spreading rumors behind the scenes?!"

    Su Ying blinked his left eye lightly: "Anyway, you haven't seen it~"

    "In that case, what else did that person say? What evidence does he have?" Xue Lu refused to give up.

    "No. He said that he can only tell me so much for the time being, but you know all the answers, Aunt Xue." Su Ying shook his head regretfully, and then he looked at Xue Lu without blinking, "—so you can tellThe answer to my question?"

    "Is my mother's death related to you?"

    His straight eyes are not concealed, they are so straightforward that people can't help but want to avoid them.

    "of course not"

    Xue Lu clenched her fists suddenly, and her nails sank into her palms.

    "...I know that you have misunderstood me and your father now, and you have resentment towards this family. I admit that I didn't do enough in the past. Who can completely separate a bowl of water between your biological son and stepson?Duanping?"

    She sighed.

    "—But the car accident that year was completely accidental! Your father and I never knew each other before. I am an ordinary person, how can I have the courage to do things that hurt people and kill people! Don't believe those rumors that are out of nothing!"

    While talking, she came to Su Ying's wheelchair, half bent down, looked at Su Ying, and her tone was unprecedentedly sincere: "Now you have seen the situation at home, isn't it enough for you to calm down? CasuallyJust listen to the one-sided words of outsiders, do you know how many people want to hurt our family now? Such vicious lies can be made up! Think about it, the family is prosperous and prosperous, if something really happens at home, it will not be good for youah."

    "Yeah, I understand." Su Ying nodded repeatedly.

    Xue Lu suddenly smiled, somewhat relieved.

    "So, did the car accident that year have anything to do with you?"

    Xue Lu:??????

    The author has something to say: Do you think this is a mystery novel about secret investigation?No, our protagonist goes straight to questioning the suspect.It's that sincere.

    Su Ying (seriously): Isn’t it common sense to repeatedly poke the same NPC and ask the same question to see if you can poke the hidden information?
