The Downtrodden Villain In A Redemption Romance Novel Chapter 95
byChapter 95 Disaster
As the sky darkened, the last colleague in the office area said goodbye and left, leaving them alone in the entire company.
Lu Qingrang gently placed a cup of warm sweet milk next to Xu Wen’s hand.Xu Wen raised his head from the document, took the cup and took a sip. The sweet taste made his eyes light up slightly: “Thank you, Brother Lu.”
Lu Qingrang pulled up a chair and sat down next to him. His eyes fell on the faint green and black in Xu Wen’s eyes. He was silent for a moment, and finally made up his mind.
“I met with Director Wang today and discussed the arrangements for the signing day.”
Lu Qingrang paused for a moment and organized his words: “You also know the current situation of the Nangong family. Although the official has made complete preparations and the big boss will be present in person, I always feel that it is not safe enough.”
Xu Wen put down the cup, turned around and looked at Lu Qingrang intently, waiting for the next step.
“The signing location cannot be changed. We are still the passive party after all, so I think we will set off separately that day. I will take the bright line and you will take the other way.” Lu Qingrang continued.
“No!” Xu Wen blurted out.
Lu Qingrang just held his hand gently, while Xu Wen’s fingertips were slightly cold and still trembling slightly.Lu Qingrang wrapped his trembling hands with his palms and rubbed them, and then the palms slowly warmed up.
“Xu Wen, you are the controlling shareholder of the company.” His voice was calm. “Legally, as long as you can be present to sign, the contract will be established. This is the safest plan.”
He looked into Xu Wen’s eyes and said in a determined voice: “When this signing is completed, the Nangong family will never be able to touch us again.”
Seeing that Xu Wen’s brows were still furrowed, he softened his tone and said, “Don’t worry too much, Director Wang will be in the car with me in person. Having him here is like having a double insurance. He cares more about being safe than we do.”
Xu Wen was silent, his lips pursed into a straight line, but he held Lu Qingrang’s hand tightly with his backhand.
“Besides,” Lu Qingrang’s thumb gently rubbed the back of his hand, “these are all the worst assumptions I said. It’s very possible that I’m just overthinking.”
His voice softened unconsciously, with a hint of weakness: “Okay?”
Xu Wen turned his face away, his jawline tightened, and his Adam’s apple rolled up and down. He was obviously still a little angry, but he never let go of Lu Qingrang’s hand.
“Xu Wen.”
Lu Qingrang called softly again.
Seeing that he ignored him, he called out again: “Xu Wen.”
It wasn’t until the third sound that Xu Wen finally turned his head angrily: “What are you doing!”
But he ran into a pair of smiling eyes.
Lu Qingrang’s ears turned red, his eyes flickered, but his tone was extremely serious: “When this matter is over, I have something to say to you.”
Xu Wen looked at his exposed nervousness, the twinkling light in his always gentle eyes, and his slightly red cheeks.
The anger in his heart suddenly vented.
He sighed, defeated after all.
“…It’s up to you.” He turned back awkwardly, his voice muffled, “You must arrive on time that day.”
The clasped hands tightened even more.
The signing day is coming in a blink of an eye.
Xu Wen and Lu Qingrang arrived at the company early, and he checked the documents required for signing the contract several times.When Xu Wen opened the folder again to check with some anxiety, he gently pressed the file with one hand.
“Everything is ready.” Lu Qingrang stood behind him at some point.
In the morning, the two left the company half an hour apart on the pretext of discussing business separately.
When Lu Qingrang got into the passenger seat, Director Wang was already waiting in the driver’s seat, his fingers tapping the steering wheel impatiently.
“Mr. Lu is really…” Director Wang glanced at the Bluetooth headset on his ear, with a bit of ridicule in his tone.
Lu Qingrang didn’t answer.
The car drove smoothly into the driveway, cleverly avoiding the morning rush hour.
Lu Qing kept the blue light on the Bluetooth headset on his ear, and the phone screen showed that the call had lasted for nearly thirty minutes.
“I’m almost there. Brother Lu, are you leaving over there?” Xu Wen’s voice came from the earphones, a little nervous.
“Yes.” Lu Qingrang’s eyes glanced at Director Wang who was focused on driving next to him, “Director Wang is driving.”
While waiting for the red light, Director Wang heard Lu Qingrang’s words and couldn’t help muttering in his heart: If the superiors don’t agree to change places, it would be better for this kid to settle for the next best thing and bring me along.This drive made him nervous, his palms were sweating, he was afraid that something would go wrong.
“There are still fifteen minutes to drive.” Director Wang glanced at the navigation system and tried to lighten the atmosphere, “The control is very tight this time, and there are our people along the way.
Lu Qingrang said “hmm” softly.
As the distance got closer, Director Wang’s originally tense back unconsciously leaned forward in his seat.He even laughed at himself in his heart: With such tight control, even if the Nangong family had great abilities, could they still get a car out of the ground?
“Brother Lu, I’ll wait for you downstairs when you get there.”In the earphones, Xu Wen’s voice was nervous and he repeated naggingly.
“Okay, I’m almost there too.”Lu Qingrang’s response was still calm.
“I’m here, park now.”There was a slight sound of a vehicle stopping from Xu Wen’s side.
Just when the car was about to turn a corner——
A black shadow suddenly jumped out of the blind spot in his sight!
“Holy shit!”Director Wang exclaimed and turned the steering wheel instinctively.
Before Lu Qingrang could say a word to the other end of the phone, the whole world shook violently amidst the harsh sound of brakes.The seat belt dug into his shoulders hard, and the earphones fell from his ears, falling to no one knows where in the chaos.
On the other end of the phone, as soon as Xu Wen stopped the car, a huge banging sound came from the receiver of the phone, followed by a harsh metal friction sound that made him panic.
“Brother Lu?!” His heart tightened, and his voice suddenly rose, “Lu Qingrang!”
The only response he received was the noise, the rustle of clothing, the vague sound of car horns in the distance, and intermittent breathing.
The communication was not disconnected, but the familiar response could not be heard.
