Chapter 144 Is this Second Master's intention?

Ming Zhan's expression showed a moment of astonishment, "Wan'er..."

Sang Yuwan said softly, "Second brother, I understand Uncle Ming. If it weren't for his ruthlessness, you wouldn't have progressed so quickly. And I wouldn't have grown up so fast either. It is said that parents who love their children plan far ahead for them. Uncle Ming is no different from my own parents."

Upon hearing this, Ming Zhan's fingers curled slightly, and he looked at her with a complicated expression. "Wan'er, I didn't expect you to be so insightful."

Sang Yuwan smiled and said, "Second brother, you should let go of the past."

Mingzhan paused, a tightness settling in his chest. "You just said to Mingmei..."

“I was just trying to scare her.” Sang Yuwan raised an eyebrow, a sly glint in her eyes.

Mingzhan suddenly realized what was happening and smiled, "She's no match for you now."

Sang Yuwan blinked her eyelashes. "Second Brother, is that a compliment or an insult?"

Ming Zhan suppressed his emotions and replied with a smile, "Is that even a question?"

Just as Sang Yuwan was about to speak, Minglang knocked on the door and came in.

"Madam, Mr. Shen has arrived and wishes to see you."

Ming Zhan's expression suddenly tightened, "President Shen?"

Sang Yuwan explained, "The Shen Group's downfall."

Ming Zhan's expression suddenly relaxed. "So it was him."

Sang Yuwan joked, "Who do you think it is?"

Ming Zhan stood up, bent down, and tugged at the corner of the blanket for her. "I thought it was Shen Yilin."

Minglang interjected, "Don't worry, Second Young Master, he has been placed under house arrest by Old Master Shen."

Ming Zhan nodded slightly. "Wan'er, I'm leaving. Don't overwork yourself."

“Okay.” Sang Yuwan pursed her lips.

Mingzhan walked out of the ward and saw the man waiting at the door. His expression immediately turned deep and mysterious.

“Young Master Ming, sir.” Shen Qianjie spoke first.

Ming Zhan's expression turned slightly stern, and he said in a low voice, "Wan'er needs to rest quietly, so please don't disturb her too much in the future."

Shen Qianjie looked slightly surprised, and the corner of his mouth curled up. "If Second Master hadn't had something to do with Chairman Sang, I wouldn't have come."

Ming Zhan was stunned for a moment, his eyes darkening instantly. "Second Master? Rong Zhi?"

Shen Qianjie immediately replied, "Second Young Master Ming, you are still waiting for Chairman Sang's reply. I will go in first."

Ming Zhan paused for a moment, pursed his lips, and his eyes were unfathomable.

Is Rong Zhi trying to avoid suspicion?

Ming Zhan frowned and walked towards the elevator.

"Senior."

The woman's voice was low, tense, and somewhat flustered.

Ming Zhan stopped and turned around to look.

In the shadows stood a pale-faced girl. She was tall and thin. Underneath her apricot-colored coat, she wore a pink floral hospital gown.

"Bo Xinglan?"

Ming Zhan narrowed his eyes almost imperceptibly, hesitated for a moment, and then walked over.

Bo Xinglan watched him walk over, her cheekbones slightly flushed, and she bit her lip. "Senior, are you here to see your sister-in-law?"

Backlit, Ming Zhan's handsome figure appeared even more upright, and his facial features became even more defined. "She's not available to see guests right now. You should come see her later."

Bo Xinglan clenched her fingers, her eyes flickered, and after gathering her mental composure, she nervously spoke, "Senior, I...I waited for you specifically..."

Ming Zhan paused, then frowned. "Did you need something from me?"

Bo Xinglan took a deep breath and pursed her lips. "Senior, I still owe you an apology..."

Ming Zhan's expression faltered slightly, and he remained silent for two seconds. "It's all in the past now, you don't need to take it to heart."

Bo Xinglan's nose tingled, and her eyes reddened slightly. "Senior, have you really forgiven me?"

Seeing her downcast mood, Mingzhan's heart suddenly sank, and he responded softly, "Mm."

"Second Young Master, Sixth Miss..." Minglang came out of the ward and saw the two of them, a look of surprise showing in his eyes.

Bo Xinglan bit her lower lip, her ears turning red. "Senior, thank you."

Ming Zhan's voice was deep and resonant. "You're welcome."

Bo Xinglan walked away with her heart pounding wildly.

Minglang walked over to Mingzhan and added, "Second Young Master, you'd better not have any contact with her in the future. She's the woman Shen Yilin has taken a liking to."

Ming Zhan glanced at him, his eyes dark and brooding. "If you hurt Wan'er again, see how I deal with you."

As soon as he finished speaking, he strode towards the elevator.

Minglang stood there, stunned.

-

In the hospital ward.

Shen Qianjie stood respectfully in front of the sofa and handed Sang Yuwan a document. "Chairwoman Sang, this is information about the Y Group. Please take a look."

Sang Yuwan took it, lowered her eyes, and carefully looked through it.

Shen Qianjie stood aside, not daring to utter a sound.

The air in the ward was so still you could hear a pin drop, while the sound of documents being flipped through was amplified.

Sang Yuwan read every word carefully, a thin layer of frost settling on her pretty face. "President Chen, in your opinion, who has the best chance of winning the textile factory project?"

“Of course it’s the Bo family.” Shen Qianjie blurted out without even thinking.

Sang Yuwan sneered, "Speak your mind."

Shen Qianjie clasped his hands together, straightened his back, and swallowed hard. "Chairman Sang, please don't be angry after I've told you."

"Speak." Sang Yuwan's expression hardened, and she emphasized her words.

Shen Qianjie took a deep breath and mustered his courage to speak, "The Y Group has a better chance of winning..."

Sang Yuwan's eyes grew even colder. "Continue."

A cold sweat broke out on Shen Qianjie's back, and he said with a desperate expression, "Chairman Sang, after the Shen family withdrew from the bidding, this Y Group took the opportunity to join in. The power behind them is not to be underestimated."

Sang Yuwan pursed her lips into a straight line and remained silent.

Shen Qianjie added, "Chairman Sang, if it weren't for Second Master, we wouldn't know anything about this Y Group. Moreover, Second Master said that this information is only superficial."

Sang Yuwan frowned deeply. "Shen Yilin? Ha."

Shen Qianjie paused, then wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. "This heir of the Shen family, though young, is ruthless. Chairman Sang, this project isn't very profitable anyway, so why don't we give it up?"

"Why should we give it up?" Sang Yuwan slightly lifted her eyelids, her facial features sharp and cold.

Shen Qianjie couldn't help but shudder. "The Shen family is very influential in the capital, and their network of relationships is extremely complex. We're afraid we can't afford to offend the big boss behind this Y Group."

Sang Yuwan withdrew her gaze, lowered her eyes, and looked at the documents on the coffee table. A meaningful smile appeared on her lips. "What does Second Master mean?"

Shen Qianjie's legs trembled slightly, and he lowered his head. "Yes."

Sang Yuwan's expression showed slight surprise, and her heart was instantly filled with turmoil. "Since Second Master returned to the capital, he seems to have become more timid."

Shen Qianjie's heart raced, and he dared not utter a sound.

Sang Yuwan was silent for a few seconds, then said in a low voice, "Tell Second Master that I will never withdraw from this project."

“Chairman Sang?” Shen Qianjie was stunned.

Sang Yuwan parted her lips slightly, "This is Jiangcheng."

Shen Qianjie understood the meaning behind her words.

In Jiangcheng, the Bo family's position is unshakeable.

However, the Shen family's power is too great.

Shen Qianjie forced himself to remind him again, "Chairman Sang, Wu Yanqing is Shen Yinan's fellow disciple."

Sang Yuwan sneered, "So what?"
