Chapter 222: You’re My Last Resort, Young Seventh Lord

“Two requests.” Since the conversation had reached this point, Shen Wan had no intention of being polite. “First, don’t bother me again; Second, please seriously consider what I said to you before.”
As for the first point, Lushen wasn’t surprised. This woman treated him like a sticky piece of candy, trying to get rid of him as far as possible.
But the second point…
What had she said before? What was she referring to?
Lushen furrowed his brows, and in a flash, he remembered her words from earlier—
“Go and find out what Tian Shui Real Estate has been up to recently, and you’ll understand why Shen Qian had a big fight with you. It’s not because of this bracelet, and it’s certainly not my fault…”
The words were still fresh in his ears. His gaze narrowed as he asked, “What do you mean by that?”
“The literal meaning.”
“Alright, I’ll go and check as soon as possible. What’s your request?”
“Nothing more.”
Lushen was slightly puzzled. “So, your second request is for me to investigate Shen Qian?”
“Is there a problem?”
“I don’t believe you don’t have a hidden agenda.” Suspicion was evident in the man’s eyes.
Shen Wan chuckled lightly. “You are my last resort, Young Seventh Lord.”
Lushen was momentarily stunned.
This…why did it sound a bit like a flirtatious remark?!
Darn it! The foxy lady was starting to seduce again. No, he had to resist!
Shen Wan was unaware of his complex thoughts. After dropping a somewhat ambiguous sentence, she left in large strides, saying, “When you understand the cause and effect after investigating, you’ll naturally know what to do without me making any requests. At that time, your thoughts will be what I hope for.”
Lushen was left in a daze, not understanding what she meant at all.
Suddenly, his phone rang.
Annoyed, he answered it without checking the caller ID. “Hello?”
“You’re in a bad mood, Young Seventh Uncle. You’re so irritable this early in the morning?”
“He Huai?” Lushen lowered the phone, glanced at the screen, and indeed, it was that guy. “Do you need something?”
“Hehe…” He Huai’s eyes darted around. “Can’t I chat with you without needing anything?”
“Cut the nonsense! Spit it out, or I’ll hang up.”
“Don’t… Alright, I’ll get straight to the point.”
Lushen had a bad feeling about this. His gaze sharpened. “Just a heads up, if you want to borrow my car, forget it.”
The last time this annoying guy borrowed his McLaren Pl to impress a girl, he returned it with a strange scent of perfume and roses inside, which forced Lushen to send it to the dealership for cleaning!
So, Lushen swore that he would never lend his beloved car to him again.
“I’m not even in Ning City right now, why would I need to borrow a car…” He muttered on the other end, his grievance barely concealed.
But what Lushen was thinking about was protecting his beloved car from potential harm. He breathed a sigh of relief. “Why do you need me? Is it money or a credit card you want? How much do you need? How many cards do you want?”
He Huai was speechless.
At a time like this, shouldn’t he ask why he wasn’t in Ning City? He didn’t show any concern for his younger relative, despite calling him “Young Seventh Uncle” so insistently. What a disappointment!
“Hello? What’s going on? If you don’t speak, I’m hanging up…”
“Don’t…” He Huai couldn’t care less about his slight annoyance and hurriedly spoke up, fearing he might actually hang up. “I heard that you’ve been having some unpleasant conflicts with Ah Qian recently…”
“Stop right there! I know you’re good friends with Shen Qian, but if you’re thinking of interceding for him, you can forget about it. I won’t agree.”
“I’m not here to intercede.”
“Then why bring up Shen Qian?”
“I know that with such a big issue, you’ll definitely deal with Ah Qian, and I have no objections to that. But you must promise me not to harm innocent parties.”
“Wait a minute…. What do you mean by ‘such a big issue’?”
