Best Husband-in-law

Chapter 22 Crisis

That night, in a high-end residential area in the city center, Zhou Sheng was sitting alone in the study room. The lights in the room were not turned on, and only the white light from the computer screen shone on his face, making him look a little weird.

"Buzzing—"

The phone vibrated crazily on the table, and Zhou Sheng couldn't help frowning when he glanced at the number on the caller ID.

"Hey, have you dealt with him?"

As he spoke, he stared gravely at the emails on his computer screen. He really needed to hear some good news right now.

"I kidnapped him, but accidentally let him run away."

"careless?"

From his voice, Zhang Xin could already imagine what his angry face looked like, but he was more afraid of the angry Chu Chen than the angry Zhou Sheng.

Although he didn't know the details of that guy the most, but his intuition told Zhang Xin, don't mess with him.

"Where is the other person now, you won't tell me that he has gone home?"

When he asked this sentence, Zhou Sheng already had the answer in his mind.

"I can't take this order, you can find someone else."

After speaking, Zhang Xin hung up the phone directly.

Zhou Sheng bit his nails nervously, what should he do now, if Chu Chen really had something to do with Lin Ruoxue in private, he must have told her about it.

He stared nervously at the email on the computer, the content of the email was simple and direct.

"If we don't receive the list tonight, we should have a good chat about the money you owe me."

Zhou Sheng has no money at all now. If he had, he might take such a big risk to do this kind of illegal thing. He has no other choice now. It's almost midnight, and he will bite for Zhou Sheng Gritting his teeth, mustering up his courage, he dragged the file from the USB flash drive to the email he was editing, and clicked send.

"Your email has been sent successfully."

When he saw this prompt, Zhou Sheng was surprised to find that his mood was much more relaxed than he imagined. He suddenly realized that even if Chu Chen told Lin Ruoxue, so what, as long as he left the company ?

"Ding--"

In the dark night, someone's computer suddenly popped up a reminder.

"You have a new email, please check it."

In the darkness, the corners of the man's mouth rose slightly, and after he clicked on the email, his smile became even more wanton.

Early the next morning, Chu Chen woke up before everyone else as usual. After working for more than an hour, Lin Ruoxue also came down from upstairs.

"morning."

Chu Chen smiled at her tenderly. Unlike usual, Lin Ruoxue seemed to be in a good mood today, so she returned a rare faint smile to Chu Chen.

It was enough to keep him happy all day.

Lin Ruoxue was sitting in her seat, enjoying the breakfast made by Chu Chen, while browsing the morning news on her tablet, at this moment, her cell phone rang suddenly.

"Mom, you're awake."

The moment Lin Ruoxue picked up her phone, Yang Lan also came to the restaurant.

"Hey?"

When Lin Ruoxue answered the phone, she was a little puzzled. The call was from the secretary of the company, but she had never called Lin Ruoxue in the morning, unless...unless something serious happened.

"what happened?"

For some reason, Lin Ruoxue began to panic, and Chu Chen, who was standing aside, noticed that there seemed to be something wrong with her expression.

"Is what you said true? Have you called to confirm?"

Lin Ruoxue couldn't believe what she heard. Although Chu Chen didn't hear what the person on the phone said, but from Lin Ruoxue's panicked expression, he could probably guess it.

"Okay, okay, I'll go right away."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Ruoxue was completely in no mood to eat. She sat at the table with dull eyes, looking lost.

"What happened?"

Yang Lan also noticed that something was wrong with her. Originally, she was angry with Lin Ruoxue because of what happened last night, but after seeing her like this, Yang Lan couldn't help asking.

"Cher?"

Seeing that Lin Ruoxue didn't respond, Chu Chen frowned, looking at her with worries.

"Send me to the company."

Lin Ruoxue knew that she had to calm down now, panic would not solve any problems, she had to calm down, but even though she had tried hard to convince herself, her hands were still trembling unconsciously.

Hearing her words, Chu Chen immediately took off his apron, followed Lin Ruoxue and hurriedly left the house.

"Sher, are you okay?"

After getting in the car, Chu Chen worriedly kept looking at the situation in the rearview mirror while driving. Lin Ruoxue sat in the back seat with a pale face. Her ten fingers were entangled with each other. Stop the stress in your heart.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it with you."

"You?"

Lin Ruoxue subconsciously sneered, she didn't want to be so mean, but now she was so confused that she didn't have any extra energy to control her behavior.

But her reaction still made Chu Chen silent. Lin Ruoxue knew that she should tell him that she didn't mean to say hurtful things, but she really wasn't in that mood now.

Along the way, Chu Chen never asked Lin Ruoxue anything, and Lin Ruoxue naturally didn't speak. Ten minutes later, the two of them came to the parking lot downstairs of the company.

"Go and do your thing."

"Xueer, I..."

Chu Chen wanted to say that he could help, but Lin Ruoxue didn't finish listening to him, so she hurriedly ran towards the elevator.

Looking at her back, Chu Chen couldn't help frowning. Zhou Sheng sent the email as expected. It seems that he should already know that Zhang Xin's mission failed.

Upstairs, in Lin Ruoxue's office, her secretary has already told her what happened.

When she came to the company this morning, she suddenly received a lot of calls, all of which were from companies they had cooperated with, and they all had one purpose in calling, which was to end the cooperation with their company.

The secretary tried everything she could think of. She first lowered the requirements in the contract, and finally threatened them with liquidated damages. Unexpectedly, those people would rather pay the liquidated damages than continue to cooperate with them.

The secretary asked them why they did this, but all of them answered almost the same, that they simply didn't want to continue working together.

Lin Ruoxue knew that all this must be related to what Chu Chen told her last night.

"Go and call Zhou Sheng here."

"Yes."

After speaking, the secretary acted immediately and went to Zhou Sheng's office.
