After Reborn, I Became the Bigshots' Beloved novel Chapter 273

Chapter 273: Chapter 273 You Can Call Me Lei Feng

Chen Shu woke up.

Li Muchen had already relaxed and was feeling a bit drowsy, but the moment he saw the text message, he snapped back to alertness.

A sharp fierceness flickered in his eyes.

This Chen Shu, he had already had Chen An investigate.

His real name is Crohn Brown, twenty-four years old this year, the only son of Duke Lawrence Brown, the sole First-class Duke of the Suli people, and he has a younger sister named Christine.

This Christine, due to her introverted nature from childhood, rarely appeared in public. But upon seeing the photo sent by Chen An, Li Muchen could determine she was Juanjuan, the girl Lu Sheng had rescued from the human traffickers.

It is said that, over three months ago on a rainy night, someone sneaked into Brown Manor, home of the Duke, and stabbed the Duchess to death, then slit the old Duke’s throat, after which the murderer fled in the pouring rain.

The crime scene was cleaned up, no fingerprints or such clues left behind, and the rain washed away any traces of the murderer’s escape.

The bizarre death of the Duke and Duchess at that time shocked the entire country of Suli, the Royal family even lowered the flag to mourn in silence, but the murderer was never caught.

Half a month later, Crohn inherited the title of Duke. This youngest Duke in the history of Suli was ambitious and seemed to have close ties with both the Church and the Royal family.

Yet such a person in high demand in Suli, at this critical juncture for consolidating his power, inexplicably came to China.

If Chen Shu came to Jiang City because of his sister who, for some reason, ended up in the hands of human traffickers, then why did he arrange for a woman to approach him, leaving the scent of perfume on his shirt?

Such actions made Li Muchen unable to help but suspect that recovering his sister was merely Chen Shu’s ostensible excuse. The real reason Chen Shu came to Jiang City, was for Lu Sheng.

But why Lu Sheng?

Simply because he was interested in her?

Under the dim light, Li Muchen’s gaze fixed on his phone screen, his aura growing deeper, he expressionlessly replied to Chen An with a [Wait for me to come over].

However, when he let go of the person sleeping in his arms, got up from the bed and began to dress. Just as he had put on his pants and was still shirtless, he heard the girl’s voice from behind.

"...It’s not even dawn yet, where are you going?"

Turning his head, it seems that the moment she left his embrace was when the girl woke up.

Sitting on the bed, she rubbed her somewhat groggy eyes and looked towards him.

After sleeping a few more hours with an IV drip, Lu Sheng’s complexion had improved a lot, just that her voice was still slightly hoarse.

Li Muchen originally did not want Lu Sheng to have any further involvement with Chen Shu.

After all, he knew that this man harbored ill intentions towards her, and what’s more, something like that had happened when she met with Chen Shu last night.

The inexplicable fainting was already strange enough, the girl doesn’t remember anything they talked about after their meeting, which could not be explained by common sense.

The prematurely closed mall, the empty restaurant, the signal jammer in Lu Sheng’s bag... each and everything proved that there was a meeting last night, and Chen Shu must have plotted something.

But if it was Chen Shu who plotted something, how come he himself couldn’t wake up from the unconsciousness, and that makes it even more bizarre.

However, although he didn’t want Lu Sheng to see Chen Shu again, and moreover Lu Sheng hadn’t fully recovered from her fever, Li Muchen also didn’t want to lie to Lu Sheng.

"Chen Shu woke up," he said in a deep voice, "I’m about to go see him, to find out what really happened last night."

Hearing this, Lu Sheng’s expression tensed up, then she threw off the covers, making to get out of bed as well.

Because as soon as they entered the guest room, they saw Chen Shu sitting alone on the bed, disheveled but his mixed-race features still delicately striking.

When Chen Shu saw her and Li Muchen come in, his eyes were blank and bewildered, and the first words he uttered were, "You... who are you?"

Lu Sheng took a deep breath.

She doesn’t remember what happened in the latter part of their meeting, and Chen Shu, he doesn’t even remember who she is?

If it was earlier, Lu Sheng would certainly suspect Chen Shu’s current state was feigned, after all, his acting skills were simply professional-level.

But now, let alone the fact that Chen Shu’s current appearance really didn’t seem like an act.

Firstly, Lu Sheng herself had lost part of her memory, so it’s not impossible that Chen Shu could suffer from such a strange incident as complete amnesia.

Secondly, with Chen Shu’s status and position, there really is no need for him to pretend not to know her.

"You, you don’t remember who I am?" Lu Sheng looked at Li Muchen, then approached Chen Shu and asked.

Chen Shu stared at her, then shook his head, seemingly without any recollection of her.

"Then do you remember who you are?" Lu Sheng continued asking, and Chen Shu shook his head again.

"So you mean, you can’t remember anything now?" Lu Sheng pressed on with her questions.

Chen Shu couldn’t help but speak out, apparently a little anxious, "You are really...?"

"Your real name is Crohn, a Suli person, a few days ago you were traveling to Jiang City and were kidnapped by human traffickers, I’m the one who rescued you from the traffickers’ den."

Lu Sheng said unflinchingly, "We Chinese always do good deeds without leaving a name, so you don’t need to know my name. If you need to address me, you can call me Lei Feng."
