Chapter 204: Chapter 204 - Can’t Seek Your Own Doom

Hearing the shocking sentence Lu Qingyu uttered, her hands trembled. She blurted her question, “Are you sure? The brick that fell was not an accident?”

After her question, Su Wan felt a little out of breath.

She felt a chill on the back and her pretty face tightened. If what Lu Qingyu said was true, who was the person who had a grudge against her and tried to kill her?

Lu Qingyu raised his eyes and took the cup from the side table calmly. He pursed his lips and started to answer Su Wan’s question.

“I suppose the brick fell from the fourth floor. When I saw the brick, I looked up and coincidently, I saw a man getting away but I didn’t see his face.”

Su Wan took a deep breath. She was barely able to digest the information Lu Qingyu had just provided.

If it was true that someone wanted to kill her, who would that be and why?

Su Wan pursed her lips and asked softly, “Why didn’t you tell me just now? We might have been able to catch that man.”

Hearing Su Wan’s naïve words, Lu Qingyu laughed and almost spilled the water in the cup.

“Oh please, I was lame at that time and you’re just a weak lady, do we seek our own doom by confronting the murderer?”

Su Wan looked down and thought what Lu Qingyu said was reasonable.

Jiang Xuecheng’s brows were deeply locked. He, who had been silent, spoke at last.

“Mr. Lu, do you still remember what the person wore?”

Lu Qingyu’s eyes swept across Jiang Xuecheng. When he saw his deep eyes, he was stunned and then he tried recalling the scene.

Suddenly, Lu Qingyu’s eyes lit up. The question that Jiang Xuecheng brought up was indeed useful!

He stared at the cup in his hand and seemed to have a kind of excitement.

“I think he was wearing a deep blue... If I remember correctly, that man was wearing the Jinjiang commercial building’s construction worker attire!”

Su Wan’s thumb brushed across her palm hesitantly and frowned. Then, she couldn’t help asking, “Are you sure?”

When Lu Qingyu heard Su Wan’s doubts, he sneered in disdain.

“Only my leg was hit by the brick, not my head. I can still remember what happened this morning.”

“That being said...”

Su Wan looked at Lu Qingyu and Jiang Xuecheng hesitantly and put forward her own opinion, “It’s possible that the man wore someone else’s construction worker attire and disguised himself as a Jinjiang commercial building construction worker.”

Jiang Xuecheng’s deep eyes were fixed on Su Wan’s body. His voice was calm and he directly rejected Su Wan’s hypothesis.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Wan Wan, you only made your decision to go to Jinjiang commercial building’s construction site to check the progress today. Nobody knew when you’d be there. Posing as a construction worker requires planning ahead and the risk of him being exposed is higher. Finding an existing worker working there would be easier.”

Su Wan’s heart suffocated. It was scary. So, there was plenty of danger lurking around her?

Su Wan took another deep breath and calmed her nervous emotions.

“So, are we going to look for Jinjiang commercial building’s construction workers for investigation?”

Jiang Xuecheng looked up slightly and stared at Su Wan silently. “I’ll investigate. Wan Wan, don’t go over to Jinjiang these few days. I’ll pass this project to someone else.”

Lu Qingyu was taken aback. He waved his hands and his look became serious. “Hey, how could Di Chen Group change the person in charge just like that?”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xuecheng’s cold eyes swept across Lu Qingyu.

“This is not done just like that. It has been decided after careful consideration.”

Lu Qingyu opened his palm and shrugged helplessly.

“Alright, I can understand this is for Su Wan’s safety but Mr. Jiang, I heard there are many pretty girls in your planning department. Could you assign a pretty one to be in charge of this project?”

Su Wan was speechless. She had indeed overestimated this man!

When she saw Lu Qingyu’s serious look earlier on, she thought Lu Qingyu was worried about the inconsistency of the planning style for Jinjiang commercial building. She had not expected it to be for such a meaningless reason.

However, from today’s incident, she found that Lu Qingyu was quite a good person if she put aside his flirtatious playboy nature.

“Where did you hear this rumor? Di Chen’s planning department consists mostly of men. If you’re worried about the progress of Jinjiang project, I’ll assign a middle-aged uncle with good experience for this project. He’ll definitely complete the task well.”

As Jiang Xuecheng spoke, he smiled faintly and this made Su Wan snicker.

When Lu Qingyu heard Jiang Xuecheng’s calm tone of voice, he almost vomited blood.

“Cough, cough.”

Lu Qingyu coughed softly and touched his nose.

“Everyone says Mr. Jiang is serious in speech and manner but it looks like your sense of humor isn’t too bad at all.”

If his partner were a middle-aged uncle, Lu Qingyu would not take charge of this project personally.

“Mr. Lu, I’m not joking.” Jiang Xuecheng stood up from the stool. His deep eyes swept across Su Wan with a sense of unconcealed concern.

“Wan Wan, it looks like there’s nothing serious with Mr. Lu. Let’s go back to the office.”

Su Wan’s lips curved up slightly. She stared at Jiang Xuecheng and replied softly, “Okay.”

Then, Su Wan waved her hand at Lu Qingyu and trailed behind Jiang Xuecheng toward the door.

Lu Qingyu did not expect the two of them to be so heartless. They had merely stayed for a while and now they wanted to leave him alone!

Lu Qingyu screamed, “Ouch, my leg hurts. Who said I’m okay? Can you really bear to leave me alone in the hospital?”

Jiang Xuecheng turned around and darted him a glance. “Mr. Lu, don’t worry. We’ll be fully responsible for your injury. I’ve called a special care nurse for you.

Hearing this, Lu Qingyu was completely helpless. He looked at Jiang Xuecheng and Su Wan who were standing at the door.

With a dull voice, he reminded, “You must come to the cruise ship auction in a few days. For the sake of me saving Su Wan, please bid for at least two to three collectibles!”

“I won’t forget what I’ve promised.”

Jiang Xuecheng threw out this sentence before bringing Su Wan away.

Lu Qingyu lowered his head and feeling bored, looked at his watch. He was thinking about calling for his personal assistant when he heard a sweet female voice.

“Hello, I’m your special care nurse. Do you feel any discomfort now?”

When Lu Qingyu heard the voice, most of his bones were crisp. His eyes lit up and he quickly looked toward the door.

What met his gaze was a big and strong woman. Lu Qingyu gulped.

The nurse was twice his size!

God, would Jiang Xuecheng really assign a middle-aged uncle for Jinjiang project...
