Chapter 1348: The Conspiracy Behind the Scenes 5

Shu Kaiqi left Lu Chengkuan’s house two hours later.

The car drove out of the yard, but didn’t head directly back to the Shu Family; it went towards the Night Bar instead.

At this moment, Lu Chengkuan received a phone call.

"Commander, Young Master Shu has gone to the Night Bar."

Sitting in the study, Lu Chengkuan smiled amiably, his voice equally gentle.

"That’s the right place for him. Kaiqi... In fact, at first, I had high hopes for him, it’s just... He’s like his grandfather, too many concerns, too much thinking!"

Seeming somewhat dissatisfied, Lu Chengkuan frowned slightly, his voice cooling down.

"Old Man Shu... He’s indeed single-mindedly absorbed in medicine, without other thoughts, which is quite a headache for me!"

"Luckily, Kaiqi has been almost constantly around me from an early age, this makes him stand on my side. And he’s Old Man Shu’s favorite grandson, perhaps for his grandson, Old Man Shu might compromise!"

Whether these words were aimed at the person on the phone or himself, it was unclear.

"But it doesn’t matter whether he compromises or not... After all, the Shu Family... has never been involved in political affairs!"

What he needed the Shu Family to agree to was to listen to him in the future. The Shu Family is a century-old medical family, possessing considerable expertise in many diseases, and Old Man Shu’s Traditional Chinese Medicine skills are at the world’s top-tier authority, which is indeed crucial.

On New Year’s Eve, most families were still gathering for the festival or visiting relatives, yet the Night Bar remained open, and the inside was bustling with activity.

The dancers were alluringly enchanting, tremendously captivating, while young men and women in the dance floor gyrated wildly to the intense DJ rhythms, amidst dazzling lights and intoxicating music, making it easy for one to lose themselves.

After entering the bar, Shu Kaiqi sat directly on the stool next to the bar.

Ordered a glass of wine, didn’t even glance at it, and lifted it up to drink.

Before he could look down, a hand suddenly appeared on his chest, and a woman dressed in a deep-V tight bodycon skirt, her fiery figure slithered over like a snake.

"Sir, care to join me for a drink?"

As the woman spoke, her lips almost touched Shu Kaiqi’s cheek.

At the moment the woman entwined herself, Shu Kaiqi frowned and scooted aside, avoiding intimate contact, his pitch-black eyes emitting an exceedingly cold gleam.

"Get lost!"

A voice deep and chilling, markedly different from his usual gentle and handsome demeanor.

He was already highly displeased with Lu Chengkuan using Mu Tiantian as a pawn, even handing her over to Shen Tiancheng. Now, his mind was overwhelmed by the scene he witnessed when he visited Shen Tiancheng’s villa.

Thinking about Shen Tiancheng’s ruthless and venomous nature, even though he hadn’t acted against Mu Tiantian yet, under the same roof, even Bai Chenyao had feelings for Mu Tiantian, why couldn’t Shen Tiancheng?

Shu Kaiqi even hoped Shen Tiancheng would develop feelings for Mu Tiantian. That way, given Shen Tiancheng’s cold and venomous nature, when facing someone he likes, at least his actions wouldn’t be so formidable, and Tian Tian might suffer less.

Considering that, through so many years, women around Shen Tiancheng had been as numerous as fishes crossing the river, not once had he shown affection towards any.

To him, women might as well be clothes, even replaced more frequently than clothes.

Shu Kaiqi thought his rebuke would cause the woman to wisely retreat; unexpectedly, she giggled flirtatiously and slithered over again like a snake.
