Chen Qingzhou looked back at her when he heard this, as if he was talking about the topic very casually: "Miss Ruan almost fainted in the cruise ship's restaurant in the morning, I don't know if she is healthy?" ”

"Thank you Mr. Chen for your concern, I'm fine." Ruan Shu's expression was indifferent.

Chen Qingzhou stared at her quietly for a few seconds.

Ruan Shu felt strange and couldn't figure out what he meant, and was about to ask, when he heard him take the lead and said, "I heard that Miss Ruan's mother unfortunately passed away a few days ago, and I deeply mourn. ”

"Thank you, Mr. Chen." Ruan Shu is still very light.

"What about Ling Yuan? Why didn't he accompany him? Chen Qingzhou asked again.

"Didn't Mr. Chen just look at me now that I'm the only one, so he asked me to talk?" Ruan Shu directly pierced.

Chen Qingzhou smiled and did not deny it.

Ruan Shu felt that he was going around in circles as if he had nothing to say, but he was not interested in understanding his intentions: "Mr. Chen, if there is nothing else, I will continue to be busy with me." ”

"Good. Miss Nguyen, please take care of yourself. Chen Qingzhou nodded, and after finishing speaking, he didn't mean to leave his seat, but poured red wine for himself slowly, as if he didn't hear the meaning of expelling customers in her words.

Displeasure suddenly appeared in the phoenix's eyes, Ruan Shu frowned, but heard Chen Qingzhou say slowly: "Miss Ruan, don't be afraid, I don't have any bad intentions for Miss Ruan." ”

"Then Mr. Chen likes this table?" Ruan Shu sneered, and immediately swept the empty seats around him, intending to change positions, but because of the familiar scene in front of him, he suddenly remembered an incident a long time ago.

"Mr. Chen, when I met you in the restaurant of the Rongcheng Hotel a few years ago, you reminded me of the purpose of Sanxin Group's acquisition of Lin's and asked me to pay more attention to Lin's products exported to Southeast Asia?"

Chen Qingzhou's hand holding the wine glass paused without a trace, and then raised his eyes, looking at her sharp eyes full of research and inquiry: "There is such a thing." What's wrong? Why did Miss Nguyen suddenly mention it? ”

The narrow phoenix eyes narrowed very lightly, and Ruan Shu pursed his lips slightly: "Listening to Mr. Chen's tone, you must know the inside story." I wonder if I can satisfy my curiosity? Mr. Chan, why should I pay attention to Lin's products exported to Southeast Asia? What does this have to do with the real purpose of Sanxin Group's acquisition of my Lin family? ”

At that time, she was much more wary of him than she is now, and she was forcibly left in her seat to speak, worried that he would want to do wrong, so she couldn't wait to leave without asking in detail. But she vaguely remembered. Because the real reason for Sanxin's acquisition of Lin's is the confusion that has been hovering in her heart for a long time and has not been answered.

After such a long time, this matter popped up in Fang Cai's mind, and he couldn't help but ask.

Through the contact from time to time during this time, she felt that she knew a lot more about him than before. As Chen Xi's son, since he wants to take back the Chen family's things from the Lu family's father and son, he is bound to know much more about the internal decision-making of Sanxin Group than her, an outsider. So the reminder he gave her was mostly based on some inside information, and the credibility should be quite high.

Of course, she guessed that the reason why he reminded her in the first place was not out of kindness, but because he tried to provoke the conflict between her and Sanxin Group.

And since it is something that can provoke contradictions, it must not be a good thing.

Isn't that a good thing......

At this point, coupled with the inexplicable uneasiness brought by the Jingfeng factory that was catching up, Ruan Shu's nerves tightened, and his heart became more and more worried, where did he care about what Fu Lingyuan promised Fu Lingyuan to avoid private contact with Chen Qingzhou as much as possible.

Chen Qingzhou didn't answer immediately, and asked rhetorically: "Why did Miss Ruan suddenly mention this again?" I don't think I'm interested, is it? ”

Ruan Shu imperceptibly twitched his pupils—he was spying.

Her mind was spinning quickly: if she was told a little, would she expose any important information to him, which would be unfavorable to herself or Fu Lingyuan.

After a little total, in the end, she still chose to play Tai Chi with him in a roundabout way: "If Mr. Chen is inconvenient to answer my doubts, I will not force it." ”

Chen Qingzhou's fingers moved from the body of the wine glass to the foot of the wine glass: "If Miss Ruan can also answer one of my doubts, I will consider answering Miss Ruan's question." ”

Will it be considered, isn't it just not guaranteed? Ruan Shu tugged at the corners of his mouth, borrowed a sentence that Fu Lingyuan often talked about, and said, "Mr. Chen might as well ask, and I'll see if it's convenient to answer." ”

Before the end of her words had completely fallen, Chen Qingzhou didn't even pause, and asked directly: "Is Miss Ruan pregnant?" ”

Unexpectedly, the smile on Ruan Shu's lips suddenly froze - how could he ......

Even if it was only for a second, such an expression had already been captured by him, and it revealed enough information. After receiving the confirmation, Chen Qingzhou couldn't help but look stunned.

Knowing that he couldn't remedy the answer, Ruan Shu simply didn't deny it, and instantly turned cold: "It seems that Mr. Chen sent someone to follow me." ”

"Miss Ruan, don't get me wrong, it's not tracking, it's just caring." Chen Qingzhou explained.

"Concern?" Ruan Shu scoffed, "Mr. Chen, with the hostile relationship between us, how can there be such a thing as 'concern'? Still 'concerned' about my privacy? ”

Chen Qingzhou twisted his eyebrows slightly: "It is Ling Yuan who is hostile to me, not Miss Ruan." ”

"I'm his wife, and my position is naturally the same as his. Mr. Chen doesn't have to be close to me. It doesn't make sense. Ruan Shu categorically.

Chen Qingzhou had a smile on his lips: "It seems that Miss Ruan trusts Ling Yuan very much and stands on his side unconditionally." ”

"I am husband and wife with him, I don't stand on his side, do I stand on Mr. Chen's side?" Ruan Shu thought it was ridiculous.

Chen Qingzhou seemed to be blocked by her, and he was speechless for a while, and there was a hint of complexity in his dark eyes.

Ruan Shu was keenly aware of it, couldn't find it clearly, and didn't want to find out, so he couldn't help but feel unhappy, and then said, "I'm pregnant." Mr. Chen came to confirm the matter. Do you think that I am now more useful to you, so you want to use me to blackmail him? ”

As far as the eye can see, it can be seen that Fu Lingyuan's subordinates and Chen Qingzhou's subordinates are competing with each other at the door of the restaurant.

are all fresh faces, and it is estimated that there are other people arranged around Fu Lingyuan as Fu Lingyuan said. It's not a personal bodyguard like Jiusi, so after entering the restaurant, they only stay near the door.

She turned her eyes back to look at him, not hiding her mockery: "Wouldn't it be too inconsiderate to arrest me in this case?" Not to mention anything else, on this island alone, there are countless Lu Xiaoye's bodyguards, is Mr. Chen sure to do such a stupid thing? Are you sure you want to trap yourself on this lonely island and die young for me? ”

After going to the island, she found that if Lu Shaocong had a heart, it would be much more convenient to kill Chen Qingzhou here than in Jingfeng before. Chen Qingzhou's courage is great, and this time he actually came with him. But he shouldn't be so stupid to die in vain, since he dares to come, he must have made all the preparations, just like he did in Jingfeng before......

"As I said, I have no ill will towards Miss Ruan, and I did not threaten Ling Yuan with Miss Ruan as a hostage. Miss Nguyen misunderstood me. Chen Qingzhou remained calm, "I just want to chat with Miss Ruan without interference from idle people." However, Miss Ruan was too wary of me, and Ling Yuan's subordinates were too noisy. ”

"Since you didn't want to take me hostage, I can leave now?" Ruan Shu got up to leave.

"Miss Ruan's question, I haven't given an answer yet, Miss Ruan won't listen?" Chen Qingzhou stopped her.

Ruan Shu froze, looked sideways, and smiled: "In the current situation, I fully doubt Mr. Chen's sincerity, so I think it is most reliable for me to find the answer myself." ”

Chen Qingzhou smiled and motioned to her untouched plate: "Miss Ruan doesn't have to be like this, it's me who disturbs Miss Ruan, I'll just go, Miss Ruan will continue to eat." ”

"No, I'm full." Ruan Shu had sarcasm in his eyes, and left straight after finishing his words.

Chen Qingzhou sat quietly in place, staring at her orange juice, his eyes gradually darkening.

……

Out of the restaurant, Ruan Shu took the elevator all the way to the ground.

The weather was beautiful, the air was full of the smell of sunshine, and the greenery helped her slowly regain her calmness.

This Chen Qingzhou......

She was stunned at the thought that he had even known about such a private matter as her pregnancy.

However, although she was cold and him just now, she could actually feel that he really had no ill will towards her.

You remember the first time I saw him, she was surrounded and chased by the convoy in the heavy rain, and he sat indifferently in the car and was indifferent to her plea for help, which was really full of murderous intent.

Even at the time of Jingfeng's ancient city wall, his original intention was only to exchange her for Fu Qingci, but it was Fu Lingyuan's behavior that angered him, so he let Rong Yi attack her.

In the next few contacts, it was mostly the image of an elegant gentleman, and he helped her a few times, and even made her feel good occasionally.

Of course, she is not without estrangement to him, and she still remembers the past hatred.

The strange thing is that there has never been a person like Chen Qingzhou, who has obviously been married for the first time, and she can still reverse her impression of him.

It's like faintly, she is similar to a certain part of his magnetic field, so he doesn't exclude it.

Ruan Shu frowned, recalling his strange attitude in the restaurant just now, the more strange she felt.

There is also Fu Lingyuan's unusual suspicion that she has contact with Chen Qingzhou......

Suddenly, the phone rang.

Ruan Shu retracted his thoughts.

It's Fu Lingyuan again.

I knew why the call came about.

Picking it up, his voice was deep: "Where?" ”

"Take a walk outside."

In the second sentence, he went straight to the point: "What is Chen Qingzhou looking for you for?" ”

As she expected. Ruan Shu said lightly: "It's nothing." Invite me to drink. I refused. Then he casually said a few words, and then made an excuse to leave. ”

Fu Lingyuan was silent for two or three seconds, and the silence was quite unclear, and after a while, his tone relaxed: "Okay, it's okay." I can't get out of here for a while. Let Thirteen accompany you in a moment. ”

Ruan Shu paused slightly in his last sentence, and responded without hesitation: "It's okay, I'm going back to the room soon." ”

"Then let Thirteen guard the door for you." Fu Lingyuan insisted, as if it could not be denied.

Ruan Shu didn't push it back, ended the call, froze in place for a few seconds, and couldn't help but breathe softly - guard the door, guard the door.

Picking up her phone again, she dialed Lin Pu's number.

When he was about to hang up at the end, he was hurriedly picked up, and Lin Pu's panting and apologetic voice came: "Sister! It's almost scanning! Right away! I'll send it to you soon! Sorry! ”

"It's not rushing you." Ruan Shu sighed and explained, "Add another thing." You look for the sales of our company's products in Southeast Asia in the past six months. ”

After a moment's thought, she remembered something: "You ask Miao Jia." Miao Jia seems to have helped Mr. Fu sort out the relevant information of that part before. ”

"Okay, good sister, I'll go to Assistant Miao to do it right away~" Lin Pu agreed.

Ruan Shu said "um" lightly, hung up, and thought in his heart, the sales data of the overseas market was the only thing Fu Lingyuan cared about during his idle position at the Lin family. And the key word that Chen Qingzhou once reminded is "Southeast Asia......

After a moment of silence, she gathered her thoughts, raised her eyes, and looked at the blue sea and blue sky in front of her.

Between the sea and the sky, a ship can be vaguely seen approaching the island.

Have new guests?

After staring at her for a few seconds, she walked back nonchalantly.

Every other way outside, there are guards of the Lu family, and if you look carefully, you can still find the camera, anyway, there is a strictness everywhere.

Before entering the hotel, I saw a row of black men hurrying to the direction of the dock, talking to the Bluetooth headset while walking.

When I took the elevator, I caught a glimpse of the sign of the infirmary, and I naturally remembered Jiusi—after she got off the infirmary of the cruise ship, she was transferred to the infirmary here.

After a little total, before deciding to go back to the guest room, go and see Jiusi's condition.

The door to the infirmary was closed.

Ruan Shu politely knocked on the door twice, but received no response.

I turned the doorknob, it was loose, and it was not locked.

She opened the door and entered.

The medical staff inside were not there, I don't know if it was a lunch break, or something was called away.

Only Jiu Si'an lay quietly on one of the hospital beds.

Ruan Shu stepped forward and gently called her twice.

His face was silent, and there was no movement.

It looks like he's still asleep.

But I've slept since last night, is there no problem?

Just thinking about it, I sensitively noticed a faint smell of blood lingering between my noses.

Looking around, I found that the liquid in the Jiusi hanging bottle was gone, and none of the medical staff were there, and the bottle was not changed in time, and there were signs of reflux at this time.

Ruan Shu hurriedly helped to pull the needle away from the back of Jiusi's hand, and used a medical cotton swab to help wipe off the small blood beads.

But the smell of blood still lingered.

Suspicious, she checked her carefully in Jiusi to make sure that there were no bleeding wounds on her body.

Illusion......?

Ruan Shu frowned, and casually threw the used cotton swabs into the trash can, but he saw several lumps of cotton cloth soaked in bright red in the trash can.

The blood on it was still fresh, and it seemed to have been used in a hurry, and it was also thrown away in a hurry.

It doesn't look like the paramedics have just treated any injuries, but more like ......

The momentum was obviously wrong, the alarm bell sounded in his head, Ruan Shu subconsciously looked around, his eyes were vigilant, and the steps under his feet had quickly moved towards the door - the few little tails assigned by Fu Lingyuan should be outside.

The hand touched the doorknob, and before she could turn, a sudden breath came from behind her.
