"did you find it."
In the evening, the birch garden lights up, making it seem like a quiet paradise.
And deep in the woods, there was a young and handsome man wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses.
He stood with his hands behind his back, waiting in the dim light.
From this angle, you can only see half of his face with deep outlines, tightly pursed lips, and a cold temperament all over his body, with a cold metallic texture.
"not yet."
Standing in front of him were two serious-looking subordinates, and when the man raised his eyes slightly, he could see a complex emotion in his dark eyes.
"Keep looking."
"Remember, don't let anyone in the Shen family find out."
"Yes, boss."
After hearing the order, the two men under his command left quickly.
The woods were quiet, as if a dim light shone on the man's face at that moment.
"Brother?" Lu Shangshang had been looking for him at the banquet for a long time. The birch garden was very large. She only saw the young man standing under a big tree in the woods at night.
But what she didn't notice was that the moment her eyes fell on the man.
The man with handsome features in a black suit had a murderous look in his eyes.
But it’s also fleeting.
His brows softened a bit, his thin lips pursed tightly, and his jawline tightened, facing the little girl who had changed into a clean dress.
"Why are you here alone?"
Lu Shangshang looked at the gloomy atmosphere in the woods, folded his arms and walked inside.
It was summer now, the weather was sultry, but she felt chilly all over.
"I'm a little dizzy after drinking some wine, so I came here to sober up."
The man's voice was low and cold, as if there was a hint of drunkenness in it.
"you've been drinking?"
Lu Shangshang's eyes flashed with surprise, and he looked at him with somewhat shocked eyes.
"Brother, haven't you never drank?"
Although Lu Zhennan is the king of the business empire.
Drinking and socializing are what he should do normally.
But he hasn't been drinking with anyone over the years.
Rumor has it that he is slightly allergic to alcohol. Even Lu Shang, who was often with him when he was a child, has never seen him drink. What's wrong?
"When someone invites you, it's hard to refuse a warm invitation."
Lu Zhennan said in a low voice.
There was a faint smile in his eyes.
Little did he know that the person wearing a red dress at the birthday banquet, holding a red wine glass and smiling broadly, was Sheng Ting who came to test him.
So, this game is starting to get interesting.
"Oh brother, if you can't drink, don't drink. No one has to force you to drink."
Lu Shangshang saw that the man's face was a little pale, his brows furrowed, and he quickly stepped forward to support his arm, his eyes full of worry.
She said to him: "Let's go home."
With that said, Lu Shangshang helped him walk out of the woods.
The woods are silent.

In another part of the birch garden, looking across the water, the house in the distance looks like it is in a painting, the atmosphere is quiet, and the surrounding scenery is reflected in the water.
Around the high wall, there are layers of eaves tiles, in the backyard with light and elegant colors.
A young and beautiful girl was immersed in a hot medicinal bath.
The petals from the magnolia tree fell off and floated in the water.
"This is the last acupuncture."
"Miss, please bear with me."
Xiao Xiaohou stood aside, taking out the silver needle, frowning and staring at the girl with fine cold sweat on her fair forehead, her eyes focused, extremely serious and nervous.
"rest assured."
The girl was soaking in the medicinal bath, and she whispered softly. A smile spread on the girl's lips, as if she really didn't care about the pain.
"Your young lady has never experienced any kind of pain. With this little injury, you don't need to be nervous."
Under the soft moonlight of the night, she rested her arms on the edge of the bath.
The girl's skin is as white as snow, and her delicate and attractive collarbones are covered by the long hair that falls down. She wants to refuse but is ashamed.
When talking to Xiao Xiao, a faint smile overflowed from her eyes, and there seemed to be a touch of pale moonlight between her eyebrows.
She has a breathtaking beauty, and with a slight curl of her lips, she looks like a demon flower of extremely pure desire.
It's a demon, not pure.
Everyone said that Shen Chaoxi was beautiful.
His facial features are pure and flawless.
No makeup was applied, but her bones were still beautiful.
But only those who have actually met her know that she is by no means the innocent little beauty that outsiders say she is.
But after saying this, Xiao Xiao's long eyelashes trembled a little, and she twisted the silver needle at the tip of her finger.
After trying to calm down his mind, he applied acupuncture to the acupuncture points on Shen Chaoxi's body.
Her injured tail vertebra could only be treated with this method to relieve the pressure of congestion and blockage.
Twice on Sanqing Peak.
Come back to the capital once.
Three times in total.
After three acupuncture treatments, the congestion near her tailbone was cleared, and she was able to stand up and walk.
In fact, Shen Yuan's guess was correct.
She is such a strong person.
If it wasn't for the serious injury and there was no other way, how could he be able to sit in a wheelchair without any problems?
In the eyes of outsiders, she is in poor health and has been sick all year round, so being in a wheelchair is nothing.
But people who are familiar with her, people who know her, know that.
She is not the frail Shen Chaoxi in the rumors.
The rumors about her in the capital were all fabricated by others because they had never seen her with their own eyes, and Shen Chaoxi rarely appeared in the public eye.
As the long needle pierces the bright white skin, it slowly goes deep.
Shen Chaoxi suddenly frowned, cold sweat fell down her cheeks, and she couldn't help but groan.
The pain in her coccyx was no less than when Gong Xiali hit her lower back with an iron rod that day.
It seemed like blood was seeping out from her waist, soaking her dress bit by bit.
"Miss, please bear with me..."
Xiao Xiao's face was very nervous.
"fine."
"continue."
Shen Chaoxi endured it and grasped the edge of the medicinal bath with her green-white bony fingers, revealing the faint veins.
Cold sweat also soaked her black hair.
She is seriously injured.
Even so, I still don’t want my family to know.
So only at night, soaking in a medicinal bath is undoubtedly an extreme torture.
When everything was over, Sheng Ting came to find her.
Xiao Xiao poured tea and handed it to Sheng Ting.
Then he walked outside the yard and guarded it.
"You mean, Lu Zhennan has a problem?"
Shen Chaoxi was leaning on the bench in the courtyard. Under the night light, her face was pure and white, like flowers and trees piled with snow.
Her long, smooth black hair was hanging wetly, and her pair of peach blossom eyes looked at Sheng Ting inquiringly. She was extremely smart and charming.
"yes."
Sheng Ting's expression was serious, "But it's strange. He is from the Lu family, and his status in the capital has been extraordinary over the years. He has no reason to do such a thing."
He is like an emperor in the business world, with only cruelty in his eyes and mostly making sacrifices for profit!
Such a person already has everything.
Then why does he still want to get involved in those shady and dark transactions in Dongzhou Yingdu?
This doesn't make sense.
Moreover, what Shen Chaoxi was thinking in her heart was that a person like him was extremely deep and thoughtful.
It's absolutely impossible after doing those shady things.
He also left clues so that people could trace him.
Unless he did it on purpose.
