Chapter 530: CEO Liu

“If nothing goes wrong, it should be.”

Manager Zhang looked at the two of them and said hesitantly, “To be honest, this happened once before. However, everyone thought that the customer was drunk, so they didn’t care.”

Lu Sheng raised an eyebrow. “I wonder why Manager Zhang is telling us this?”

“I don’t think the two of you are ordinary people. I was entrusted by someone to ask for your help.” Manager Zhang said, “I’ll definitely thank you later!”

Chu Yan nodded. “Speak.”

Manager Zhang said, “Actually, I’ve already sent that CEO a message just now. He should be here soon. He asked me to ask for your help. As to what it is, we’ll naturally know when he arrives.”

Lu Sheng and Chu Yan looked at each other and nodded at the same time.

After sitting for about half an hour, a man in a black suit suddenly hurried in.

“CEO Liu, over here!”

When Manager Zhang saw who it was, he hurriedly stood up and waved.

“Sorry, although I’m nearby, there was a traffic jam, so I came late.”

The man was young, probably only thirty-five years old.

“CEO Liu, take a seat!”

After CEO Liu sat down, he could not help but be stunned when he saw Lu Sheng and Chu Yan.

“Manager Zhang, the experts you’re referring to… could they be these two children?”

“CEO Liu, you might not know this.” Manager Zhang smiled and introduced him. “This is the Chu family’s young master. This girl is Young Master Chu’s friend.”

CEO Liu looked at Chu Yan in surprise. “So it’s Young Master Chu. Nice to meet you!”

Chu Yan nodded slightly and said lightly, “I heard from Manager Zhang that you have something to ask us for help with. What’s the matter?”

CEO Liu looked at Manager Zhang. Seeing him nod, he said suspiciously, “I heard from Manager Zhang that you can see things that ordinary people can’t. I wonder if it’s true?”

“You won’t believe us even if we tell you the truth.”

Lu Sheng said lightly, “If you don’t mind, we can find a quiet place to talk.”

“Let’s go to my office,” suggested Manager Zhang.

Lu Sheng said lightly, “We can’t go to places with surveillance cameras.”

CEO Liu pondered for a moment and said in a low voice, “I know of a place where there are no surveillance cameras.”

Lu Sheng nodded. “CEO Liu, please lead the way.”

CEO Liu stood up and led the two of them out of the KTV.

As CEO Liu said that he would send them back later, the duo did not drive. Instead, they left in his car.

Manager Zhang did not follow them.

After Chu Yan boarded the carr, he sent a message to Pei Yan and told him to tell the others that they had something on and would leave for a while before returning later.

CEO Liu drove the car into a small mansion and stopped in the courtyard.

After Lu Sheng alighted, she scanned her surroundings and realized that it was silent. There did not seem to be anyone around.

“This is where my ex-wife and I used to live. After we divorced, no one came here anymore. Usually, the housekeepers come over to clean.”

After closing the door, CEO Liu explained to the duo as he walked.

“Please!”

After the door opened, CEO Liu let the two of them enter first.

“No one lives here, so there’s nothing to eat or drink. Please forgive me.”

CEO Liu placed the car key on the coffee table and spoke apologetically.

The duo only smiled faintly and sat on the sofa without saying anything.

“I believe the both of you have heard from Manager Zhang about my son.”

Seeing the duo nod, CEO Liu continued, “What happened back then was all my fault. If not for me, I wouldn’t have landed in this state where I’m separated from my wife and child.”

He smiled bitterly and looked at the two of them. “I don’t have any other wishes now. I just want to see my son and apologize to him.”

“If you want to see him, I can help you, but…”

Lu Sheng hesitated. “There’s a price to pay for going against the will of heaven.”

When CEO Liu heard that, he hurriedly said, “No matter the price, as long as I can see my son again, it’s alright, even if it costs my life.”

Lu Sheng nodded. She took out a yellow talisman and said to CEO Liu, “Please close your eyes first.”

CEO Liu nodded and closed his eyes in anticipation.

Lu Sheng tore the talisman and a child appeared beside her.

Chu Yan glanced at the child and did not have much of a reaction.

“Daddy, Daddy!”

When the child saw CEO Liu, he ran towards him excitedly.

Lu Sheng flipped her hand and an incense stick appeared in her palm. She lit it up and placed it on the ashtray on the coffee table.

After a while, a strange fragrance spread in the room.

“You can open your eyes now.”

Lu Sheng spoke faintly.

CEO Liu opened his eyes and rubbed them. He suddenly realized that a four-year-old child was standing in front of him.

The child was lying on his knee and looking at him happily.

He was stunned for a moment. After a long while, his eyes reddened. He raised his trembling hand and caressed the child’s face.

“Yuanyuan!”

“Daddy, where’s Mummy?” Yuanyuan scanned his surroundings and said aggrievedly, “Why didn’t you find me after leaving me there for so long?”

“I’m sorry!” CEO Liu hugged him with snot and tears. He sobbed and apologized, “It’s my fault. I lost you. It’s my fault!”

“Daddy, don’t cry. Isn’t Yuanyuan back?”

Yuanyuan patted CEO Liu’s back lightly and consoled him in a childish voice.

He did not seem to have realized that he was dead.

Lu Sheng could not bear to see this and hurriedly gestured for Chu Yan to go out first, leaving some space for the father-son pair.

“When did you start seeing those things?” Chu Yan asked.

Lu Sheng thought for a while and said softly, “Seven years old. I don’t remember much either.”

“I saw them by chance when I was ten years old.” Chu Yan smiled faintly. “Speaking of which, it’s strange. I was very afraid of them at first. I didn’t expect them to seem to be more afraid of me. They avoided me every time they saw me.”

Lu Sheng chuckled. “Do you want to know why?”

“You know?” Chu Yan suddenly looked at her.

“I know, but I can’t tell you.” Lu Sheng smiled at him. “But don’t worry, you’ll know the reason one day.”

Chu Yan frowned. “Why can’t you tell me?”

She blinked and said innocently, “Because the heavenly secrets can’t be revealed!”

Chu Yan was stunned before he smiled faintly.

The more he interacted with Lu Sheng, the more he realized that she was not simple.

For example, he had seen everything that had suddenly appeared in her palm.

However, if she did not say it, he would not ask.

He knew that even if he asked, she would probably not answer.

Hence, he changed the topic. “What incense did you light up just now?”

“It’s made from rhinoceros horns.”

After this thing was lit, humans could communicate with ghosts.

However, it could not be lighted for a long time. Otherwise, his lifespan would be shortened.

After all, humans and ghosts were separated. Even if it was their deceased relatives, they could not stay together for long. Otherwise, they would become weak and sick.

“I see!” Chu Yan nodded.

Lu Sheng took out her phone and was about to check the time when she saw Lu Zhou calling.

She raised an eyebrow and answered the call. “Master.”

“Disciple, I have great news to tell you.”

Lu Zhou’s anxious voice was heard.

“Oh?” Lu Sheng raised an eyebrow. “What great news?”

“A million yuan.”

Lu Sheng said, “…Master, it’s not dark yet.”

One million yuan? Dream on!

“I’m telling you, this is a discount. If you don’t agree, don’t blame me for not telling you.”

Lu Sheng clicked her tongue and said lightly, “Master, I feel that there’s nothing to look forward to now.”

“Are you really not going to listen to news about Young Master Han?”

Lu Zhou thought that Lu Sheng would be very excited when she heard this explosive news.

Unexpectedly, she only replied with an indifferent ‘oh’ and hung up.

“That’s not right!”

Lu Zhou stared at the phone screen and frowned. “Did that girl fall in love with someone else?”

“Impossible!” Shangguan Dian retorted. “Lu Sheng is infatuated.”

“You heard her reaction just now.”

Lu Zhou frowned. “Shouldn’t she be excited to hear about Young Master Han?”

He was about to send her his card number where she could send the money to when his disciple suddenly did this.

“Perhaps it’s because the price is too expensive?” Shangguan Dian guessed.

“Is that really the reason?” Lu Zhou clicked his tongue and smiled. “In that case, that kid isn’t that valuable to my disciple.”

He raised his eyebrows and called Lu Sheng again.

“Master, do you have other matters?”

Lu Sheng’s voice was still very faint.

“Five hundred thousand yuan. It can’t be any lower.” Lu Zhou continued, “As long as it’s five hundred thousand yuan, you can get what you want immediately…”

Before he could finish speaking, the call was hung up.

“Huh?” Lu Zhou’s eyes widened. “What does this girl mean?!”

“Perhaps she thinks that you’re playing with her.” Shangguan Dian guessed again.

“That can’t be!” Lu Zhou frowned. “How can I joke with her about this?”

He could not bear to make his daughter sad.

Shangguan Dian pondered for a moment and spoke again. “Then, there’s only one possibility left.”

“What possibility?” Lu Zhou asked.

“That means she already knows where Yan Han is and has even seen him before.”

“Now that you mention it, it seems to make sense!”

Lu Zhou raised an eyebrow. “Could it be that she really saw Young Master Han?”

—————

On Lu Sheng’s side.

After hanging up, she smiled proudly at Chu Yan.

“Why are you suddenly smiling like this?” Chu Yan was very curious.

Lu Sheng smiled and shook her head. “Nothing.”

Chu Yan stared at her for a while and asked hesitantly, “Who… called just now?”

He had clearly heard Lu Sheng call him Master a few times, but he still wanted to confirm it.

Lu Sheng said disapprovingly, “Oh, it’s a scam call. Don’t mind it.”

Although he had only interacted with Lu Sheng for two days, Chu Yan realized that he seemed to know her very well.

For example, if she said that it was a scam call, it meant that she was unwilling to mention that person further.

He smiled faintly and did not pursue the matter.

Lu Sheng glanced at her phone. Seeing that it was about time, she looked at him and said, “Let’s go in.”

Chu Yan nodded.

When the two of them entered, they saw CEO Liu kneeling on the ground and crying his heart out.

The incense Lu Sheng placed on the ashtray had just burned out.

“Please, please let me see my son again!”

Seeing them enter, CEO Liu suddenly knelt down and begged the two of them.

“CEO Liu, it’s not that we don’t want to help you, but we can’t.”

Lu Sheng said lightly, “Moreover, we agreed beforehand that you would only meet once.”

CEO Liu’s expression immediately became dejected. He covered his face with both hands and wept for a while before getting up from the ground.

“Sorry, I was rude.”

He wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes and said hoarsely, “No matter what, I still have to thank the two of you for allowing me to see my son again in my lifetime.”

Lu Sheng said, “His wish has been fulfilled and he will enter the cycle of reincarnation soon. If you’re fated, you might be able to be father and son again.”

CEO Liu nodded.

He took out a card and passed it to Lu Sheng. “There is five million yuan inside. It’s my remaining assets. The rest have been transferred to my ex-wife’s name. I’m afraid I can’t give the rest to you.”

“There’s no need for so much.”

Lu Sheng smiled faintly and reported a string of numbers. “I just want a hundred thousand yuan.”

CEO Liu was stunned. Then, he smiled bitterly. “Since they’re for you, take them. I don’t have the chance to spend them anyway.”

Seeing his strange expression, Lu Sheng had some guesses.

In addition to what happened today, he might not live for long.

He explained to the duo, “I was diagnosed with late-stage cancer half a year ago and won’t live for long. Now, I’m just taking things one step at a time.”

As he spoke, he passed the bank card to Lu Sheng and said, “I’ve already called for a car for you. It should be here soon.”

“Take care!”

Lu Sheng was silent for a moment before speaking faintly.

CEO Liu smiled and sent the two of them out personally.

As he had said, the car arrived quickly.

After sending the two of them off, he returned to the mansion and switched on all the electronic devices.

Lu Sheng and Chu Yan were not in a good mood. In the car, both of them remained silent.

When the two of them returned to Feng Yun KTV, it was only around four in the afternoon.

However, the sky was already dark, as if a heavy rain would fall at any moment.

“Pei Yan and the rest have returned early.”

Chu Yan glanced at his phone and spoke to Lu Sheng.

Lu Sheng nodded and went to the parking lot. The two of them left.

When the two of them returned to the district, it started to rain heavily.

“Shall we hide from the rain at my house first?” Lu Sheng suggested.

Chu Yan nodded. “Okay.”

“Take a seat first. I’ll go and see if the windows are closed.”

The moment she entered, Lu Sheng hurried upstairs to check the windows. Thankfully, they were all locked.

When she changed her clothes and went downstairs, she realized that Chu Yan was sitting obediently on the sofa.

“Do you want to eat steak?”

Lu Sheng suddenly remembered that they had not eaten dinner.

She remembered that Shangguan Dian had bought a lot of steak, and they were in the fridge.

Chu Yan nodded. “Up to you.”

“What do you want to drink?”

Lu Sheng opened the fridge and asked him.

“Water will do.”

Such a reserved Chu Yan made Lu Sheng want to laugh.

She nodded slightly and washed a disposable cup before getting him a cup of water.
