Chapter 310: Overseas Residence

e nurse replied, "The baby is healthy, but there are some problems with this lady's body.""What's the problem" Yulin started to get nervous.The nurse smiled apologetically, "I'm so sorry, this is a pr..."General Lu, something terrible has happened at the villa district in South City." A voice filled with panic came from the phone.

Lu Hanchuan frowned deeply, “What happened”

The manager in charge of the villa district construction embezzled material funds and then bought a batch of foam building materials. Now, most of the villas have collapsed, and many buyers are surrounding the construction site demanding an explanation.

"What did you say" Lu Hanchuan's face darkened instantly, his aura so cold that the temperature inside the car dropped.

Fu Xiaoyao shivered and looked at him worriedly, curious about what had happened to cause such a big reaction.

"Did you catch that manager" Lu Hanchuan asked, gripping his phone tightly.

The person on the phone replied, “No, he’s already gone, but we called the police. They will bring him back as soon as possible.”

"I got it, you hold those buyers down. I'm on my way there now." Lu Hanchuan hung up the phone.

Joe stopped the car and turned to look at the back seat, "Mr. Lu, what's wrong"

This question was exactly what Fu Xiaoyao was about to ask. She clenched her hands, "Yeah, Hanzhan, is something big happening"

Lu Hanchuan took a deep breath, forcing down the rage that burned within him. He replied in a cold voice: "There has been a collapse in the newly developed villa area in southern part of the city."

"What" Qiao Mu was so shocked by the news that her eyes almost popped out. After a few seconds, she reacted, "President Lu, how could this happen"

The Lu Group's main industry is real estate. Over the past few decades, every residence, office building, and villa they have developed has never had any accidents.

How come now...

"Could it be a problem with the building materials" Qiao Mu quickly thought of the key point.

Lu Hanchuan nodded. "That's right, the development manager in charge of that villa area embezzled construction material funds and bought a batch of inferior materials and ran away. Now there is an accident at the construction site, and many buyers are making a fuss."

"Damn it!" Joe slammed his steering wheel.

Lu Hanchuan glanced at him, not blaming him for his rudeness. Instead, he turned to Fu Xiaoyao, "Get out of the car first and call Uncle Liu to pick you up. I'll go take a look at the construction site."

"I'll go too." said Fu Xiaoyao.

Lu Hanchuan immediately refused, "No, you can't go."

"Why" Fu Xiaoyao asked.

Qiao Mu answered for Lu Hanchuan, "Madam, General Lu is worried about your safety. Throughout history, those who seek justice are often very emotional and might act impulsively out of anger. For your safety, it's best if you don't go."

"Really" Fu Xiaoyao looked at Lu Hanchuan.

Lu Hanchuan hummed, " Qiao Mu is right, you have Uncle Liu come pick you up."

"I know, you be careful yourself and don't get hurt." Fu Xiaoyao said with concern as she pushed the door to get out of the car.

She stood by the roadside, waving to Lu Hanzhan in the car until she saw the car drive away. Only then did she put her hand down and look around for a bus stop or subway station.

She was too lazy to call Uncle Liu over to pick her up.

Uncle Liu would take at least an hour to get here. It's so cold now, she wouldn't want to stand outside in the cold, it's faster for her to just drive back herself.

Thinking to herself, Fu Xiaoyao walked towards the nearest subway station.

After arriving at the station, she randomly chose a ticket vending machine queue to prepare for buying a ticket.

The subway station was crowded, with a long queue. Fu Xiaoyao was at the back of the line.

After waiting in line for a while, she slightly craned her neck to glance at the front of the queue, trying to see how many people were ahead of her. As soon as she glanced, she was captivated by a man standing in front of her.

"Huh" she couldn't help but let out a small exclamation, then secretly glanced at the man in front of her.

The man was tall and imposing, dressed in a well-tailored suit. His hair was neatly combed and styled, giving him an elegant and sophisticated appearance. While his face remained hidden from view, the aura of nobility radiating from his back alone suggested that this was no ordinary individual.

However, what's curious is that someone like this, who should theoretically have drivers to pick them up and drop them off, would take the subway themselves.

This problem went round in Fu Xiaoyao's mind once before she filtered it out. Although she was curious, she didn't necessarily need to know the answer. After thinking about it for a moment, she stopped dwelling on it and lowered her head to look at her phone again.

Soon, it was finally Fu Xiaoyao's turn to buy a ticket.

She put away her phone and waited quietly. After a few minutes, the man in front of her still hadn't bought his ticket. She became impatient and craned her neck to look. To her surprise, he was standing motionless in front of the ticket machine, with no intention of buying a ticket at all.

"Sir." Fu Xiaoyao couldn't hold back any longer, she gently poked the man and politely reminded him, "Could you please hurry up There are other people waiting behind you."

The man turned his head, revealing a strikingly handsome face.

He looked at Fu Xiaoyao, who had just spoken, and a flash of surprise appeared in his amber eyes, but it disappeared quickly. Then, he put on a faint apology, "I'm very sorry for wasting your time. I'm really not good with this kind of machine."

"Eh" Fu Xiaoyao was first stunned by his face, then surprised by his words, "Not very good at using it"

Are there still people who don't use ticket machines

"Yes." The man nodded slightly.

Fu Xiaoyao sighed, then raised a faint smile, “Oh, so that’s how it is. Where are you going, sir Let me teach you how to buy.”

"Thank you." The man smiled gratefully.

Fu Xiaoyao took a step forward, standing beside him and opening the ticket vending machine. After he told her the address, she clicked on that address's ticketing interface, selected a one-way ticket, and reminded him to insert coins.

But the man unexpectedly pulled out a euro, causing Fu Xiaoyao to twitch her mouth and quickly stop him.

"What's wrong" the man asked, still confused.

Fu Xiaoyao laughed and cried, explaining, "Your money hasn't been exchanged, this isn't usable here. You don't have any other money"

The man shook his head.

Fu Xiaoyao silently pursed her lips, "Forget it, Mr. Please wait over there for a moment, I'll buy it for you."

After she finished speaking, she took out money to buy a train ticket and then bought another one for herself.

After she finished buying the tickets, she walked outside the queue with two train tickets in her hand. She gave the man's ticket back to him and was about to go through security and board the train.

But the man suddenly called out to her, "Please wait a moment."

"Sir, is there anything else" Fu Xiaoyao stopped.

The man walked up to her, "Thank you very much for your help this time, Miss. What's your name"

"My last name is Fu." Fu Xiaoyao smiled as she spoke, but didn't mean to say her full name.

The man didn't get angry either. He pressed his palm against his heart and introduced himself gently: "Hello, Ms. Fu, my name is Shi Mo. I just returned from overseas."

"When Overseas" Fu Xiaoyao, upon hearing these words, thought of something and her mouth opened in surprise. "Overseas Shenjia"

The man raised an eyebrow. “Miss Fu, do you know about the overseas Shi family”

He suppressed the surprise in his heart and looked at Fu Xiaoyao with an unreadable expression.

He thought she was just a kind ordinary woman, but he didn't expect that she even knew about overseas homes.

Although the Shi family wields great power, they have always been low-key. They are not well-known overseas, and even fewer people know about them domestically. Ordinary people would never have heard of them, so how could she possibly know about them

"Yes," Fu Xiaoyao nodded. "I heard my husband talk about it."

Unlike Shi Mo's suspicion, she was also very uneasy at the moment. Yesterday, Lu Hanchuan had mentioned to her that the Alliance should pay attention to the Shi family when the time came. Unexpectedly, she saw members of the Shi family today.

What a coincidence!. After taking a breath, she spoke: "Hanchuan, I know I'm doomed, I won't live long. But my Su Su is still outside. All I ask of you, all I can ask, is that you take care of her for me. Please, Hanchu...
