Chapter 36

The fast food restaurant is located on the street front opposite the downstairs of the company. It is small in size, but it is crowded with people at this time.The queuing crowd extended to the side of the road outside the door, and its posture was comparable to that of a company elevator during the morning rush hour.

I was at the end of the crowd, opened the menu written by my colleagues, and chose a set meal with the highest order rate, thinking that if so many people order it, it means it is good, so I will eat this later .

At the beginning of spring, the warm sun hangs high in the sky, and everything begins to recover.Unknown plants are planted in large blue-and-white porcelain flowerpots outside the store, and new green branches grow out.

The crowd moved forward slowly, and after waiting for nearly 20 minutes, it was finally my turn.I read the menu to the staff and paid.The waiter packed the set meal for me. I received the two heavy pockets and said, "Thank you." Then I turned around and prepared to go back to the company.

Just as I was crossing the street, I was waiting for the green light to come on.At a distance of two meters in front of him, a pregnant woman with a puffed belly was walking through the road in a trance.Suddenly, a large truck was speeding towards the front, and a well-meaning person on the side of the road shouted: "Danger!" But the pregnant woman seemed to be unconscious.

I was the closest to her position, and I didn't have time to think about it when I got down. After throwing away the bag in my hand, I quickly stepped forward to give her a hand, and pulled her back to the side of the road.

The large truck passed by and stopped in front of it with a sudden brake.The middle-aged driver poked his head out and stared at the woman's belly. He probably saw that she was pregnant and was worried that he would be blackmailed. He stepped on the gas and slipped away again.

I supported her and asked with concern, "Are you okay?"

But she didn't speak, her eyes were dazed, she pushed me away, and then walked towards the middle of the road again.I grabbed her wrist and said, "Madam, where is your family?"

She still didn't respond. There was an old gentleman by her side who had witnessed the whole thing, and suggested: "Seeing that she is delirious, she should be sent to the police station and let them contact her relatives."

Hearing this, the woman's mood began to fluctuate.She stared straight at me, with a flash of horror in her eyes, and murmured with trembling lips: "I won't go, I want to go home...I want to go home."

I tried to calm her down and asked softly, "Then can you tell me where your family lives?"

She hesitated for a moment, then quietly said an address.I was surprised when I heard that it was the villa area where Shen Yuan was located, and it seemed that he should be a neighbor of the community.

I said, "Then I'll take you back, okay?"

The old gentleman from just now kindly reminded me in a low voice: "Miss, be careful of fraud."

I smiled at him, thinking that since her family lived in a villa area, she proved to be a rich person, so she would never extort my money;

After all, a good person will do it to the end and send the Buddha to the West.

The old gentleman shook his head and left.Seeing that the pregnant woman did not refuse, I stopped a taxi and took her back to the villa area.

After the taxi sent us to the gate, we found that the front was cordoned off and we couldn't drive in.So I had to pay the money and help the pregnant woman out of the car.

I didn't know what happened all morning, so I asked the security guard at the gate, "What happened?"

The young security guard gave me a salute and replied, "A murder occurred in a villa inside, and the police are searching the scene."

I nodded, and was shocked to find that the pregnant woman had been hiding behind me, trembling.The security guard obviously also saw her, sized her up, and said in a low voice, "This lady looks familiar... is she a newcomer?"

She tugged at the corner of my clothes. I thought she was frightened by the murder, so I bid farewell to the security guard and led her inside.

I searched for the address she told me before, and found that the crowd was getting more and more crowded. When I was about to confirm the address with her again, I heard a voice behind me calling me: "Lin Yue."

I turned my head and saw Shen Yuan standing not far behind, walking towards me slowly.Seeing the pregnant woman beside him, he suddenly frowned and said, "Mrs. Ma, I'm sorry to hear the news of Mr. Ma's murder. But the police are looking for you everywhere. You should go face-to-face for investigation."

I was taken aback for a moment, and then I understood, my eyes widened and I asked Shen Yuan in disbelief: "Could it be that she is the victim's wife?"

He nodded, pulled me to his side vigilantly, and suddenly said to her solemnly: "Mrs. Ma, I don't know your real identity, but since the matter started because of you, you have to solve it yourself."

I was confused by what he said, and Shen Yuan obviously didn't intend to let me figure it out.He roughly pulled my wrist and dragged me back, complaining in his mouth: "Are you going to die if you don't mind your own business?"

Just as I was about to explain, I heard stumbling footsteps running behind me.Holding her stomach, Mrs. Ma ran forward and grabbed Shen Yuan's arm, and said in disbelief, "Who the hell are you? How do you know about me?"

Shen Yuan stopped in his tracks, and said in a cold voice: "I've said everything I need to say, and I have nothing to say about the rest."

Mrs. Ma's eyes were red, and she suddenly begged: "Can you help me?
Shen Yuan frowned, and asked her in a low voice: "You killed Mr. Ma?"

She shook her head, two lines of tears streaming down her cheeks: "It's not me. Please help me, I just want to give birth to this child safely before he finds me."

Shen Yuan was silent for a moment, then said lightly: "I can help you, but there is one condition."

Mrs. Ma nodded in panic when she heard the words: "I promise you, any conditions are fine."

Shen Yuan then took off his coat, put it on Mrs. Ma, and said to me: "She can't stay here anymore. You take her to the gate and wait for me, and I'll pick up the car."

I nodded and helped her out again according to my words.

After a while, Shen Yuan drove to the gate to pick us up.Mrs. Ma and I sat in the back seat, and Shen Yuan had nothing to say along the way, and I didn't dare to ask anything lightly.Finally, an hour later, we arrived at a sparsely populated farm in the outer suburbs.

Shen Yuan's car parked in front of a small Chinese-style courtyard.

I was about to open the car door and help Mrs. Ma get out of the car when I heard Shen Yuan suddenly say: "My condition is that I want to acquire the Ma Group."

I took a deep breath, and for a moment felt that Shen Yuan took advantage of the fire to rob.I saw Mrs. Ma's body froze, and said in an injustice, "Shen Yuan, you can't..."

He glanced at me, interrupted me and said: "After Mr. Ma passed away, you will inherit his shares, plus your own, and naturally become the largest shareholder of the Ma Group. You just need to promise me this condition, I will be able to provide you with everything you need before you give birth to your child safely, and temporarily get rid of that person. Can you accept this condition?"

Mrs. Ma looked at her stomach, finally gritted her teeth and said, "I promise you."
