After being abandoned by my parents, I became a top boss

Huaguoyangcheng.

After Jiang Ye rested in the Jiang family villa for three days, his injuries were almost healed.

Lu Nanfeng, under Jiang Zhen's assignment, went to Lucheng with Li Chen to discuss a deal.

Also accompanying them were Lao Si, who was beside Li Chen, two of his henchmen, and Qiangzi and Mazi, who were beside Jiang Zhen.

On the day of departure, Jiang Ye stood in front of the window on the second floor of the villa, watching Lu Nanfeng get into a black car. The car gradually drove away from the villa, and a hint of loneliness flashed in his eyes.

When Qu Ruyan came to see him, she saw him standing alone by the window.

"Don't you want to see him off?" She crossed her arms and walked to his side, her eyes slightly lowered to the car that was moving further and further away.

"I can't be around her all the time."

Originally, Jiang Zhen planned to let him go with him to Lucheng to discuss the deal, but he refused.

After the last incident, although Liu'er was still by his side, their relationship was no longer as natural as before, as if... there was an invisible barrier.

Only then did he truly realize that they could never go back to the past.

Sooner or later, Liu'er will have someone he likes. How will he deal with it then?

Perhaps, he should learn to let go, learn to be a bystander, stand in the distance, watch her silently, and protect her. That would be enough.

.........

After Lu Nanfeng, Qiangzi and Mazi met up with Li Chen and others at the airport, they took the 9 a.m. flight to Lucheng.

She and Li Chen sat next to each other on the plane. She sat by the window and Li Chen sat next to her.

After recognizing him that night in the hotel, every contact they had thereafter was due to mission requirements.

But this time, it was the first time they were so close without any mission requirements. She felt a little nervous and suddenly didn't know how to face him.

To her, Li Chen is different from everyone else.

He is the older brother in her memory, the one who gave her a new life, and she would naturally have a sense of respect for him.

Of course, even if we put all this aside, there was a twelve-year gap in their memory. After they met again and recognized each other, it was inevitable that she felt uneasy in such an environment.

"nervous?"

A pleasant and steady male voice sounded. Lu Nanfeng was slightly stunned and shook his head unnaturally, "No, I'm not nervous."

Li Chen smiled, "I think so too. I shouldn't be that scary."

"Huh?" Lu Nanfeng looked at him in surprise. Li Chen's eyes fell on her fists that were clenched white on her legs. "Relax."

She then realized that she had lost her composure and quickly let go of his hand, "No, you misunderstood. I...I always act like this when I'm on an airplane."

"is it?"

"Yep!"

Li Chen glanced at her, then lowered his eyes, with a smile in his tone, "Little liar."

"You...you are the liar." Lu Nanfeng frowned and lowered his voice.

She was obviously unhappy. Li Chen looked up at her. This time, he stopped joking. His eyes were bright and clear. "Just lie this time and never lie again, okay?"

Lu Nanfeng understood what he said. What he meant was that he had lied to her for five years about faking his death to carry out the mission.

Time seemed to stand still at this moment. They looked at themselves in each other's eyes, and their heartbeats seemed to be out of rhythm.

A person who could only appear in her dreams before is now so close to her that her figure is even reflected in his eyes.

After a while, she nodded, "Okay, stamp it."

She held out her thumb, Li Chen smiled and pressed his thumb on her finger, "Stamp."

Twelve years later, they met again, and everything seemed to have returned to the way it was before, except that the little girl had grown up, and the boy had been carved by time to have the maturity that belonged to his age.

His beautiful peach blossom eyes were smiling. He took back his hand and lowered his voice, "I heard that you were kidnapped by the Huang family's daughter a few days ago?"

When talking about business, Lu Nanfeng was obviously much more natural. She nodded and whispered, "Yeah, but it's all resolved."

"You prepared the evidence to bring down the Huang family long ago, right?"

"It wasn't too early. Jiang Ye started preparing after being plotted against. I originally wanted to find an appropriate time to tell Jiang Zhen about this, but I didn't expect that Huang Jiaqi would kidnap me because of Jiang Ye. This actually provided me with a perfect opportunity."

Hearing her mention Jiang Ye, Li Chen turned the ring on his left index finger. After a long while, he spoke slowly, "Indeed, if the Huang family had not fallen, Jiang Zhen would not have used me so soon. Fortunately, I have you."

He never thought that one day the girl would be strong enough to support him, nor did he think that she would become the turning point in this long battle.

However, he didn't want her to get involved from the beginning to the end.

Before they knew her identity, they had suggested letting her go undercover as "Liu'er", but he directly rejected the idea.

He didn't want the girl to experience the right and wrong of the past again, nor did he want her to remember the bad memories.

He just wanted her to be safe and happy.

……

The plane arrived in Lucheng at 11 o'clock in the morning.

After coming out of the airport, the group went to the hotel first.

At this moment, Shen Yunzhou just landed.

A driver in a black suit was waiting at the airport gate. When he saw him, he said respectfully, "Mr. Shen."

Shen Yunzhou nodded, took a step forward, and got into the business car.

The driver then went around to the other side and sat in the driver's seat. "Mr. Shen, are we going back to Yaodu International now?"

"Ah."

This is his first time back since moving from Lucheng to Beijing.

I was too busy with work before, and since I just moved to Beijing, there were a lot of things to deal with.

If it weren't for Lou Xinyue's call this time, he would probably need some time before he could return to Lucheng.

The driver glanced through the rearview mirror and saw the man had a handsome face, but he looked cold and distant, and there was a hint of chilliness emanating from him.

He had not been driving for Shen Yunzhou for a long time. When he was still in Lucheng, he drove to every dinner and cocktail party. Later, his career was getting better and better. Not long after, he went to Beijing to open a company and named it Hurricane Zhou.

The predecessor of Hurricane Technology was AiShang Studio. When the AiShang APP he developed was launched, it quickly became popular. Everyone thought that his next step would be to register a company and quickly sweep up capital.

This was indeed the case, but what surprised them was that his new company was opened in the capital, not in Lucheng where he grew up.

There are different opinions among business people. Some say that he saw the development prospects of the capital, some say that he did not want to stay in Lucheng and compete with his father for the world, and some say that he did it because of Lu Shizhan’s granddaughter Lu Nanfeng.

Shen Yunzhou has never responded to this, so until now, they have always doubted Shen Yunzhou's decision to set up a company in Beijing.

No one knows why, there are only endless speculations and guesses.

-

The car arrived at Yaodu International, Shen Yunzhou entered the elevator and pressed the button for the 23rd floor.

He was nervous, but also had a hint of anticipation.

He hoped that the moment the elevator door opened, he would be able to see signs of Nan Nan's return, but unfortunately, he was destined to be disappointed.

The elevator door opened and he looked at the shoe cabinet outside the entrance. Except for a layer of dust on the countertop, everything else was exactly the same as when he left.

He pressed the doorbell desperately, but there was no response.
