Chapter 37 -37: Struggle of the Wealthy Families

Someone is out to harm Li Muchen.

It couldn’t be a coincidence; there was only one possible conclusion.

That day at the Fu Family’s banquet, Lu Sheng heard the others talking about Li Muchen.

They said that despite being only twenty-five, he controlled the vast business empire of the Li Family, holding a position in Jiang City that was unattainable for most.

Who would want to harm him?

And who could have the capability to tamper with the pillow he slept on right under his watchful eyes?

What’s more, like Red ginseng, St. John’s wort is also rare and not something easily obtained by just anyone.

Upon hearing Lu Sheng’s words, Chen An immediately furrowed his brows, clearly having thought of something.

“Do you know who wants to harm him?”

Seeing Chen An’s expression, Lu Sheng said, “If it was the servant who bought the pillow, they wouldn’t have the motive or the courage, nor the means to acquire St. John’s wort.”

“So, it must be someone looking to silently damage his brain.”

“Could it be his business rivals? But how could a competitor reach into the main house of the Li Family?”

“No… more precisely,” Chen An lifted his head, “if someone wants to harm President Li like this silently, then this person is likely President Li’s uncle.”

Chen An had been with Li Muchen for over ten years.

He was originally the son of a gardener in the Li family. After the gardener died suddenly of a heart attack and given his similar age with Li Muchen, Mrs. Li kept him by Li Muchen’s side.

Later, after certain changes in the Li Family, he became the only person Li Muchen trusted. When Li Muchen became an adult and took over the Li Family, he also became an assistant and has held that position ever since.

“…Li Muchen’s uncle?” Lu Sheng frowned slightly.

“President Li and Miss must have mentioned that his legs were disabled due to a car accident.”

Chen An paused and continued, “That car accident ten years ago, both sir and madam died in the crash, only President Li, who was just fifteen at the time, survived because he was protected by his mother.”

“Mr. Li favored President Li greatly during his lifetime and intended to groom him as the successor of the family. But after sir and madam died unexpectedly, all of the Li Family’s assets had to be managed by President Li’s uncle, Li Feng.”

“However, after President Li turned eighteen, the stocks from the trust fund set up by his parents became effective, and President Li became the major shareholder of Li Group, taking back control of the Li Family’s assets.”

“But for the following five years, President Li was constantly struggling with his own uncle. It wasn’t until two years ago that Li Feng conceded, relinquishing some shares and went abroad, finally allowing President Li some rest.”

“However, Li Feng is the only remaining heir in the Li Family aside from President Li. So if something happens to President Li, everything would revert to his hands.”

“From my understanding of President Li’s uncle, that person is very scheming and ambitious. With such a vast business empire of the Li Family, he wouldn’t give it up easily.”

Family feud.

Chen An’s words, including the situation of Li Muchen, reminded Lu Sheng of his previous body.

The Bai Family held a top status in Beijing, but like the Li Family, it lacked flourishing offspring.

The original host, as the eldest daughter of Bai Fuyu, took over the family business at the age of twenty, and everyone addressed Bai Qiang respectfully as Miss Bai.

But in fact, Bai Qiang developed depression after her mother passed away and her father remarried.

She wasn’t enthusiastic about managing the family business, and was indifferent to wealth and power, growing tired of constantly contending with her scheming stepmother over interests.

Thus, ten years ago, at the age of twenty-three, Bai Qiang did not disappear during a trip to the UK but in fact committed suicide by jumping into the sea to escape this world that made her unhappy.

When she was reborn in Bai Qiang’s body, it happened to be when Bai Qiang was rescued ashore, and the person who saved her went to seek help.

“I know my uncle very well and will not give him a second chance to succeed. So don’t worry, I will handle it properly.”

“Okay,” Lu Sheng nodded.

Just as Li Muchen trusted her to handle the affairs of the Lu Family well, she had no doubts about this man’s capabilities in front of her.

“Then go lie down on the bed, I’ll help you with the acupuncture.”

After the last acupuncture session, Li Muchen was able to stand up with some effort.

Once he lay down on the bed, Lu Sheng picked up the acupuncture tools prepared by Chen An.

Dozens of needles penetrated the skin and acupoints, sharp pain assaulted instantly, but for Li Muchen, this pain made him feel a certain reality. freeweɓnøvel.com

This time, the acupuncture brought a stronger sense of heat expansion, pain, and numbness in his legs. Li Muchen’s chest rose slightly, and as Lu Sheng inserted the last needle, she leaned closer to the man’s face.

“…It’s going to hurt this time.”

“I’ll help distract you.”

Saying so, the girl raised her head and covered the man’s lips.

Their lips and tongues intertwined, breathing quickened. While deepening the kiss, Lu Sheng raised her hand to Li Muchen’s temple and gently started to stroke.

“You haven’t had a good sleep in a long time, have you.”

Lu Sheng spoke softly. The Soul Power flowed along her fingertips, gradually seeping into Li Muchen’s brain nerves.

A powerful and gentle force covered his consciousness, causing Li Muchen to close his eyes in a daze.

“Good boy, have a good sleep,” Lu Sheng’s gaze was tender as she leaned down and kissed Li Muchen again, then stood up.
