Chapter 114
Shu Tian''s pupils shrank, and she subconsciously escaped in the opposite direction once she
recognized the personing.
Unfortunately, due to the physical difference between men and women, even if she tried her best, she
could not run away from the person behind her.
Her wrist was grabbed, and she was dragged to the wall behind the courtyard. Thrown against the wall
rudely, she felt her back hurt. Shu Tian struggled, but she could not break free. She looked at the man
in front of her warily, "Sir, please let me go!"
Meng Shichuan had been smiling, albeit hypocritically, but the smirk vanished as he heard her address
him as "Sir".
"It seems that you don''t have a memory, Miss Shu, for you''ve forgotten me so soon."
Shu Tian couldn''t breathe steadily. "I''m sorry, but I tend to forget things that I shouldn''t remember."
Hearing her words, Meng Shichuan snorted. Standing in front of her, he looked like a wall with his tall
figure almost exceeding 6.2 feet in height. He appeared to be immersed in gloom, especially when he
was standing with his back to the light.
"Things you shouldn''t remember?" He moved closer, his long and narrow eyes locked on her. "I don''t
mind reminding you of that memory, Miss Shu."
Shu Tian''s face changed. "Meng Shichuan, what on earth do you want to do?"
Hearing his name blurting out of her mouth, the man''s face softened a little. "I don''t want to do
anything."
"Then let me go!"
Meng Shichuan looked at the woman''s flushed face in a rage and suddenly felt in the mood to be
yful. "What if I don''t let go..."
"You!" Shu Tian seethed as she looked around from the corner of her eye. she had to admit that it was
an excellent hiding ce, for few people would pass by, and the backyard was so big that no one
would take notice.
She looked at him in shock and realized how scary this man was.
The anger gradually subsided, and Shu Tian calmed down a little. "Why are you here?"
Their previous encounter was so unpleasant that even appearing in the same ce as him would
trigger her suspicion.
"Don''t worry, I''m not following you. I just happened to pass by." Meng Shichuan didn''t lie, but he didn''t
pass by; he hade specially, but meeting her was unexpected.
Shu Tian still did not disperse her doubt. During the stalemate, the phone in her pocket rang. Meng
Shichuan nced at her and let go of one of her hands, but still tightly grabbed the other. "Answer it."
Shu Tian rolled her eyes and picked it up with a trembling hand. "Hello?"
"Did you go to the orphanage?" A man''s steady voice came, reassuring her instantly.
"Yes, I''m here." Although Shu Tian was talking to Li Han, she kept looking at Meng Shichuan. "Are you
done?"
Obviously, Meng Shichuan got close to eavesdrop on what they were talking about.
"Not yet. There''s a meetingter." As soon as he said that, she heard the secretary call him to attend
the meeting. Without further ado, Li Han asked directly. "Is there anything unusual?"
Because of this, Meng Shichuan raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at her with interest, wondering
how she would answer.
Obviously, Shu Tian did not keep him curious for too long and blurted out without hesitation, "What
could be unusual? Go ahead with your work and don''t keep others waiting. We''ll talk when you''re done
with your work."
Not only did she not reveal the truth, but she also did not forget to remind him a few words.
Meng Shichuan''s eyes lit up with interest, not expecting her to be so calm.
After hanging up the phone, Shu Tian looked at him with disgust in her eyes. Yes, disgust.
Meng Shichuan also caught her emotion very well. The woman in front of him was very weak and he
could kill her with little effort, but her emotions were very interesting. SHe was... indomitable. It didn''t
seem appropriate enough. In short, she aroused his desire to conquer.
The next second, Meng Shichuan made a move that made Shu Tian almost break down.
He reached out and lifted her chin. "Miss Shu, you''re very interesting. If it''s but an ident that we met
for the first, then I believe our second encounter is predestined."
Shu Tian curled up her lips coldly. "You''re insane."
Meng Shichuan was not irritated. "I hope you can keep being interesting, by the way—"
At this point, he finally let go of her. "My promise to you is still valid. You''ve saved me once, so I will
definitely help you."
"Thank you. I don''t need it."
"Don''t be so sure." Meng Shichuan looked up at the distance and then turned to leave.
Shu Tian looked at the man''s figure and couldn''t get rid of her depression. She walked straight back to
the gate where the staff was still transferring supplies, and no one found anything unusual.
Shu Tian''s palms were sweating as she prayed that she would never meet this man again.

On the other side, after Li Han finished dealing with the matters concerning the branchpany, he
still had to dine and socialize with the person in charge. The personing was the head of Q City
called Wang Guan, who was 46 years old and had a high official position. So Li Han would receive him
in person.
The venue of the meal was arranged at a high-end clubhouse in Q City, where membership was
required for consumption and a myriad of dishes were avable. There were also high-end rooms and
some other entertainment venues upstairs. It was a favorable ce for the entrepreneurs and
politicians to frequent, with a high level of privacy guaranteed.
Hearing that Li Han wasing, the owner of the club weed him personally and reserved the best
private room for him without costing him other fees.
Eye candies were unlikely to be absent in parties where men toasted and cheered. Women became
the mostmonpanions, even if they did nothing. Their presence eased the atmosphere even if
some embarrassing topics were brought up or some strong words hurled.
Li Han and Wang Guan upied each of the main seats, while the remaining four or five people were
all local dignitaries. Knowing that Li Han was very capable, Wang Guan naturally would not cold-
shoulder him, and the atmosphere was rather harmonious in their pleasant conversations.
There was only one person who seemed a little deliberate.
The face of one woman who apanied one of Wang Guan''s subordinates looked very familiar. Li
Han usually didn''t pay much attention to women, as he didn''t even bother to grace them with a nce.
But when he heard her voice during the meal, he suddenly remembered that it was Jiang Mengyao.
His eyes moved slightly to look at her, but unexpectedly, his gaze was misunderstood to be signaling

his affection to Jiang Mengyao.
Those who were present were all slick and observant. Naturally, no one pointed it out, but they kept a
mental note on this matter.
Jiang Mengyao had been fidgeting, but she gradually eased, thinking that men were just like this. In
order to get information about Li Han''s business trip, she had spent a lot of money on the private
detective, so she must not let this opportunity slip.
Thinking it this way, Jiang Mengyao unconsciously moved her hand to her pocket to touch a slightly
hard edge, which was the hallucinatory drug she had prepared in advance.
"Jiang, have a drink! Why are you sitting nkly there?" A man urged her.
Jiang Mengyao hastily picked up her ss and chatted with the people around her with a smile, but her
eyes were always looking at Li Han either identally or deliberately.
Li Han cast his eyes down and snorted. He retreated his chair. "I''m going to the bathroom."
After that, he turned around and walked out, but did not enter the bathroom in the private dining room.
A sh of crafty light crept through Jiang Mengyao''s eyes, as her grip on the ss unconsciously
tightened. Finally, the opportunity came!
