Chapter 1745: Asking for Someone

Ji Yanzhi was truly at his wit’s end; he had no better connections in Rongcheng City than Lu Zhenzhen. Shi Yun had run off secretly, leaving his father-in-law and mother-in-law so anxious they couldn’t sleep all night.

Ji Yanzhi was out of town, but one call after another was made to him. It so happened that work had delayed him, and by the time he picked up the phone, the night had already passed.

“I’m begging you, Zhenzhen, I owe you a favor. Whenever there’s something you need from me in the future, just let me know.”

Lu Zhenzhen asked, “A price this big?”

“It’s worth owing you.”

As for his sister-in-law, she was not part of the “worth it” deal.

“I’ll help you find her, but you need to retrieve her as soon as possible. As for whether she’ll come with me once she’s found, I’m not responsible.”

Ji Yanzhi breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said, “Alright.”

Lu Zhenzhen instructed her assistant to find the person, and soon there was news. She had someone keep an eye on her and planned to go over once she finished her current tasks.

She happened to run into Nan Jiaojiao.

After chatting briefly, Lu Zhenzhen went upstairs, wandered around for a bit, and saw Shi Yun.

She was being forced to drink.

Beside her sat a man with greying temples, his arm around her waist, a full glass of red wine pushed against Shi Yun’s mouth, forcibly pouring it into her.

From a distance, Lu Zhenzhen couldn’t hear what was being said.

She took a photo and sent it to her assistant, asking them to look into the people at that table.

She didn’t go over immediately, found a place to sit, and ordered food.

By the time she had her fill, Shi Yun was already slumped over the table from being forced to drink.

No one at the table paid her any mind; they continued to chat and laugh. She wore just a thin dress, leaning there without even a jacket, her skirt speckled with wine stains.

“Ladies and gentlemen.”

Lu Zhenzhen walked over, and as soon as she spoke, everyone at the table stood up, rushing to address her as “Miss Lu.”

“Miss Lu, you’re here too. I apologize; I didn’t see you earlier. Would you honor us by having a drink?”

“I have to drive, so I won’t be drinking. I’m here to ask for someone.”

“Who?”

Lu Zhenzhen glanced towards Shi Yun, “Her.”

The atmosphere suddenly turned awkward, as everyone looked towards the man beside Shi Yun.

Obviously, he held the highest status at the table. If he didn’t relent, no one could take her away.

Lu Zhenzhen directly asked, “President Shen, would you do me a favor?”

President Shen said awkwardly, “Miss Lu, you overstate it. I’m just curious about your relationship with her.”

“No relationship, I’m just doing someone a favor.”

President Shen realized there was no point in asking further, “I see. Would you like me to have a couple of people help you take her away?”

“No need.”

Lu Zhenzhen made a call, and soon her bodyguards arrived, easily lifting Shi Yun and taking her away.

Lu Zhenzhen was the last to leave.

No one dared to make a sound.

After they left, someone finally asked, “President Shen, didn’t you say she was easy to deceive, with no one backing her? How come she knows Miss Lu?”

President Shen’s face darkened, “How would I know!”

He didn’t even know anything about Shi Yun’s background.

They had met at a charity auction; at that time, she was with Ji Yanzhi, looking like an assistant. Out of respect for Ji Yanzhi, President Shen initially didn’t have any ideas. It was Shi Yun who came to seduce him; he just played along half-heartedly. Inviting her to Rongcheng City was just a casual joke, who knew she’d really come?

A cheap thrill that came rushing into his arms.

Just for fun.

“Forget it, people associated with Miss Lu are best left alone to avoid unnecessary trouble. She’s not someone to offend.”

President Shen drank a glass of wine irritably, feeling not quite at ease, but soon put the matter behind him.
