Gentle to the Bone - Chapter 3

Shen Yansheng and Lu Jingce met for the third time a week after New Year’s Eve.

During that week, Shen Yansheng was still running around for his father’s affairs, and everyone who might beg for it had been begging for it. .

She even put down her last dignity and went to the Fu family for help with the cheek.

But Uncle Wang told her that Uncle Fu and Aunt Fu went abroad, and Fu Shiyu was not in the country recently.

But she was standing at the door of Fu’s house, and she clearly saw a flashing figure by the window upstairs.

It’s not that Fu Shiyu is not in the country, it’s just that he refuses to see her.

On the way back to the hospital, she sat in a trance on the bus and almost passed the station.

After getting out of the car, she took a deep breath, restrained her emotions, and thought about going to help her mother buy food.

Unexpectedly, something happened on the way to buy food. When she was about to walk into an alley, someone covered her mouth from behind and dragged her into the car in a few seconds. .

The moment she was thrown into the car, she could see who had caught her. She immediately sat up straight and tried her best to hide in the corner of the car, looking vigilantly at the men in front of her, “What are you trying to do?! You are committing a crime. !”

The man in the lead sneered, suddenly pulled out a dagger from behind and put it on Shen Yansheng’s cheek, “Criminal? Seeing that the Chinese New Year is about to come, the family of the old men can’t open the pot. Since you, Miss Shen, won’t make us feel better, neither will we. make you feel better.”

The cold and sharp dagger stuck to Shen Yansheng’s cheek, and she was so afraid that she needed to grit her teeth tightly to control her body from trembling.

She stared at each other and asked, “What do you guys want? I really don’t have any money. If I had, I would have given it back to you.”

“I don’t care if you have it!” The man said viciously: “I don’t care if you steal it, rob it or sell it, don’t think about the money you owe the old men!”

He took the dagger and patted Shen Yansheng on the cheek, and said, “Besides, isn’t your boyfriend the son of the Fu family? He’s going to be out of money? I **** think you don’t want to pay it back!”

While speaking, he suddenly grabbed Shen Yansheng’s neck fiercely, and said fiercely: “I tell you Miss Shen, we are all people who lick blood with the tip of a knife. They will kill you!”

Shen Yansheng was pinched so hard that she could hardly breathe, her face flushed red, and her tears fell uncontrollably.

Just when Shen Yansheng felt that he was about to die, that talent finally let go.

For the rest of the journey, Shen Yansheng was blindfolded, she didn’t know where she was going to be caught, and she didn’t know what would happen next.

The unknown two hours in the dark were the most terrifying time in her life. Every minute and every second, she was so terrified that she almost suffocated.

Two hours later, she was taken out of the car, blindfolded and her hands tied, not knowing where to take her.

She felt the whistling wind, as if she was in a world of ice and snow.

The moment the black face towel was lifted, she looked down and saw the vast sea. The man who was holding her behind sent her forward. She stepped on the gravel on the edge of the cliff and almost fell off the cliff.

She screamed in horror and burst into tears.

She was never brave, she was vulnerable and scared.

At this moment, she suddenly hated Fu Shiyu. She has been with him since she was in college. After so many years of relationship, after an accident at her home, he left her.

He knew that she was in a desperate situation and desperate, but he was able to ignore her, let alone accompany her. For so long, he hadn’t even made a phone call.

The man at the head waited for Shen Yansheng to cry almost, and then moved to her again and said, “How about Miss Shen? Have you figured it out? To pay or not to pay? You paid the money today, and your father’s debt is gone. A write-off. If you don’t pay it back today, don’t blame me for being cruel and throwing you into the sea to feed the sharks.”

Facing the sea breeze, Shen Yansheng closed her eyes in despair.

After a long time, when she opened her eyes again, the firm look had replaced the fragility and tears in her eyes. She looked at the man next to her and said, “I still do.”

When Lu Jingce received the call from Shen Yansheng, he was in a company meeting.

The theme of the meeting was about taking over the unfinished business of the Shen family, but the meeting reached a deadlock in the middle of the meeting.

The reason is nothing more than the fact that the Shen family’s projects cannot be touched at all. If they could be touched, developers would have taken over them long ago. No one took the order, just because it couldn’t be touched, it was a business that lost money. And the loss is not a little bit, a little attention is a huge loss.

Coupled with the liabilities of the industry chain, it is also a huge expense.

Zhao Cheng, as a confidant who has been with Lu Jingce for many years, everyone put their hopes on Zhao Cheng, hoping that Zhao Cheng could persuade President Lu to give up this idea.

Zhao Cheng knew that Lu Jingce’s decision could not be changed, but he still insisted: “Mr. Lu, all the data show that these sets cannot be touched, or else…”

Lu Jingce interrupted him and made a final decision, “There is no room for negotiation on this matter. I didn’t come to you to listen to your opinions.”

He dropped the documents in his hand, got up and picked up his jacket, and said, “All losses caused by that time will go to my private account.”

When he came out of the conference room, Lu Jingce’s phone in his trouser pocket rang.

He took out his mobile phone, looked down and saw that it was Shen Yansheng’s call, somewhat surprised.

He picked it up and asked, “What’s wrong?”

There seemed to be a whistling sea breeze on the other end of the phone, followed by Shen Yansheng’s crying voice, “Lu Jingce, save me.”

It was a two-hour journey from the center of Beicheng to Heifengya, but Lu Jingce arrived within an hour and a half.

He drove the car very fast all the way, approaching Heifeng Cliff, and when he saw the scene of Shen Yansheng being held on the edge of the cliff, his face was extremely gloomy, and his eyes were really killing intent.

The man who was holding Shen Yansheng was named Cheng Jiu. He turned his head vigilantly when he heard the sound of the car. Seeing Lu Jingce coming alone, he smiled and said, “Mr. Lu is really refreshing.”

Lu Jingce walked over, threw a box of money in front of Cheng Jiu, and said coldly, “Let go.”

Cheng Jiu grabbed Shen Yansheng in one hand, and held the dagger around Shen Yansheng’s neck in the other. He smiled and said, “Don’t worry, let us brothers count first.”

As he said that, he winked at a few younger brothers beside him. One of them stepped forward to pick up the box, while the others walked to Lu Jingce’s car and searched for the other boxes in the car.

After a while, the money was finally counted, and one of the younger brothers looked up and said, “Ninth Brother! Enough!”

Cheng Jiu smiled and said to Shen Yansheng, “That’s right, it’s only natural to pay off debts. If you were willing to pay back the money earlier, you wouldn’t have to suffer like this.”

Even though he said so, he still did not let Shen Yansheng go.

While holding Shen Yansheng as a hostage, he motioned for the younger brothers to bring the money into the car. When he got to the car, he asked Lu Jingce to hand over his phone.

Lu Jingce narrowed his eyes slightly, his face more gloomy.

Cheng Jiudao: “Don’t take offense, you came out to be a fool, you don’t have the vigilance at all. I haven’t been a fool all these years? If you don’t take the phone away, what if you call the police and arrest us?”

Lu Jingce gave Cheng Jiu a cold look, then took out the phone from his trouser pocket and threw it away.

Cheng Jiu took the phone and grabbed Shen Yansheng directly into the car. He was extremely fast. The moment he got into the car, the younger brother kicked the accelerator and drove the car out. The car ran a few hundred meters away, and Shen Yansheng was thrown out of the car.

Lu Jingce drove the car closely behind him, the moment Shen Yansheng was thrown out of the car, he slammed on the brakes, and couldn’t restrain himself from cursing: “Fuck!”

He slammed on the handbrake and got out of the car immediately.

When Shen Yansheng was thrown out of the car, he landed on his face, and a blood hole was hit on the ground on his forehead, causing him to faint.

Lu Jingce squatted down and helped Shen Yansheng up. Seeing that blood was pouring out of Shen Yansheng’s forehead, and the person fell into a coma, he couldn’t help frowning.

It was the second half of the night when Shen Yansheng woke up. She opened her eyes and found herself lying in a white room with a strong smell of disinfectant in the air.

The nurse was about to give her water when she saw that she was awake, and said with a smile, “You are awake.”

Maybe it was because of her brain crash. Shen Yansheng only felt dizzy and her consciousness was not clear. She looked at the nurse blankly and asked, “Where is this?”

The nurse smiled and said, “It’s Margo Hospital. Miss, you fell on your head and bleed a lot. Fortunately, you were sent to the doctor in time, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.”

At this time, Lu Jingce came in from the outside after making the phone call. Seeing that Shen Yansheng was awake, he walked over and asked her, “Are you dizzy or not, is there any discomfort?”

Shen Yansheng looked at Lu Jingce, the consciousness of chaos finally recovered, and subconsciously shouted, “Lu Jingce.”

Lu Jingce glanced at her, gave a rare smile, and said, “I still recognize people, but it looks like I didn’t have a concussion.”

The nurse hung up the water for Shen Yansheng and went out first. After tossing for a day, Lu Jingce was also a little tired, so he pulled out the chair beside the bed and sat down.

Shen Yansheng looked at him and couldn’t help but ask, “Where are those people?”

Lu Jingce leaned back in his chair lazily, and said lightly, “Illegal lending, plus kidnapping, is enough for them to sit in jail.”

Shen Yansheng asked, “Have you been caught?”

Lu Jingce gave a “hmm”, glanced at Shen Yansheng, and said, “You still have the mind to take care of this? Don’t you have a headache?”

Shen Yansheng nodded honestly and said, “It hurts.”

She lowered her eyes and was silent. After a while, she said slowly: “At that time, the company’s capital chain was broken, and all major suppliers came to collect debts. My father was afraid that the construction of the building would stop, so he sold a lot of private assets to repay the debts, and wanted to appease them to continue the project. Go on. But the funding gap is too big, and my dad is helpless by himself, and when he was desperate, he also borrowed some loan sharks from outside. “

“Later the assets were liquidated, and almost all the debts that could be repaid were repaid. The loan shark owed to Cheng Jiu and the others really couldn’t be repaid. I sold my cello and repaid most of the principal, but these days the profits are rolling in, and I have already Rolled into astronomical figures…”

Speaking of which, Shen Yansheng seemed to have experienced the despair and pain of the past few months again, she couldn’t continue, she closed her eyes, but tears still flowed out of the corners of her eyes.

Lu Jingce sat next to her and looked at her, at her pale and thin cheeks, at the tears that spilled out of her eyes. With indescribable distress in his heart, he reached out and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Shen Yansheng opened her eyes, she looked at Lu Jingce with tears in her eyes, and her throat couldn’t help choking, “Lu Jingce, can you save my father? As long as you are willing to help me save my father, I can give you anything you want. you.”

Lu Jingce looked at her deeply and asked in a low voice, “What do you think I want?”

Shen Yansheng took Lu Jingce’s hand and looked at him pleadingly, “I know, I know everything. As long as you are willing to help me save my father, I can give you anything.”
