10 - Then are you afraid of me

Looking out, a dozen or so giant cargo ships were parked on the shore, bound by thick and sturdy iron chains. Peering up and down, the workers in polyester vests were all moving some of the goods and accounts, and in such a big sea area, it seemed like it was a little crowded.

"Mr. Mou, Miss Lu." The one who walked over was Gu Heng. I recognize the person in charge here. However, what he saw was true. This person in charge was a man who could control so many goods ships and workers. He must have a lot of money and power.

Gu Heng felt Mu Huainan's gaze on him, and his body suddenly trembled, his forehead was already covered in beads of sweat.

"Everything's been normal lately, please. Please rest assured, Boss Mu. "

He started to stutter, and even I, a little kid who didn't know anything about the world, could tell that he was feeling guilty.

The atmosphere was solemn and quiet. Moments later, a male voice came from afar, bringing with it heavy panting. He yelled at the Sacred Grounds: "Lu Weian!"

I turned around, it was Shen Xiuyuan. I saw him smile and wave, and I couldn't help but wave back.

"Little An An." As I got closer, I saw that Shen Xiuyuan's face was covered in sweat, and his hair had been blown all over by the wind, but even so, it could not hide his handsomeness.

"The two of you are really fast." He stood next to me, smiling, and quietly kicked a candy bar into my arms. Then, he quietly went over to Mu Huainan with a face full of complaints: "Boss Mu, you're really too ruthless, even saying that it would still be the case. If I didn't stop a motorcycle with a frown, I might have died on the road!"

I quietly put the candy away, and saw Mu Huainan push Shen Xiuyuan to the side with a gloomy face, and extended his hand to pull me to his side.

"Follow me." he whispered. A hand on my shoulder made me feel secure.

Gu Heng stood at the side with his head bowed. I happened to look at him and he quietly wiped the cold sweat off his face.

"Boss Gu." Shen Xiuyuan laughed as he walked towards Gu Heng and patted his shoulder: "Long time no see."

"Yes, yes..." Gu Heng's politeness was a bit submissive, "Boss Shen is a busy man, it's really hard to meet you once."

"What are you talking about, Boss Gu? You're the one who's making money every day!" Shen Xiuyuan rolled his bright black eyes, and in the end, stopped at Gu Sheng's wrist. He grabbed's arm, and waved it in the air, "Aiyo, isn't this the latest and limited watch that Patek Philippe released? There are only five of them in the entire world, I like them to death, but unfortunately, I can't afford it."

There are only five pieces of it in the entire world? I do not understand luxury brands, that watch shiny really do not see what is good.

But looking at Gu Heng's expression, it was as if he had been discovered while eating secretly. He felt guilty and afraid.

With a flushed face, he stammered: "Boss Shen, you must be joking, this is just a fake skin, I am just putting on an act."

Shen Xiuyuan's eyes and hands were sharp, he immediately flipped Gu Heng's wrist, and on the watch belt, was Gu Heng's name carved, the groove was filled with gold, it was extremely exquisite.

"The simulation now even has names carved on it?" Shen Xiuyuan's eyes gradually turned cold: "Boss Gu, tell me, which simulation store did you buy it from, I will also take a look."

Mu Huainan did not say a word. His pair of dark and cold eyes fell on Gu Heng's body. Seeing that he did not dare raise his head, he must be extremely afraid.

The atmosphere had congealed to this point, and half a second later, it shattered with a loud bang. Gu Heng's face was deathly pale, and with a "putong", he knelt on the ground as his body trembled like a sieve.

"Mu …" Boss Mu... I was wrong. I'll tell you myself... The Master Lu of the Lu Group gave me this watch, he said …. He said he wanted the phone number of the timber manufacturer we were working with. "I …"

"He gave it to you?" Mu Huainan raised his eyebrows. His voice was as cold as winter water.

Gu Heng trembled even more violently than before. I've only given a few of the people we've been working with for the longest period of time! I think we have been partners for so many years, even if we give our contact information to the Master Lu, it will not affect our partnership! "

Lu Group... Master Lu... These names repeated themselves in my mind. Gu Heng was talking about my father, I remember a few days ago when he was settling the company's old debts. He had spent a lot of money on timber to expand the company's scale and open up a construction materials industry.

It was hard to understand. Was this the method used?

I was confused until Shen Xiuyuan's voice interrupted my thoughts.

"Where is the new batch of wood that arrived yesterday?"

"He arrived yesterday..." Gu Heng was a little hesitant, and did not dare speak up for a long time.

Until Mu Huainan spoke out in such a hoarse and dangerous manner.

"Speak."

Gu Heng raised his trembling hand and pointed to the warehouse behind him.

I followed Mu Huainan and his group. When we went around Gu Heng, it was as if he had all his energy drained from him. He weakly fell on the ground, his face pale white.

My heart trembled and I couldn't help but pull at the corner of Mu Huainan's clothes.

Probably because he felt my panic, Mu Huainan slowed down his footsteps, lowering his head to look at me, but his eyes no longer had the cruelty from before.

He put his arm around my shoulders and let me lean against him. My head was barely above his chest, and I couldn't hear my heart beating.

Mu Huainan patted my back. He didn't say any comforting words, but he had more power than me.

As soon as he entered the warehouse, he could feel the heavy humidity. Half of the wood in the warehouse looked as if it had been soaked in water.

The workers were trying to save him.

"What's going on?" Shen Xiuyuan stopped a worker and asked him, "Are all the wood wet?"

"Since two months ago, almost every batch has been like this." The worker was helpless, "I don't know if it's because of the boat or someone else, but at least half of the wood is soaked in seawater every time. The worker was helpless," I don't know if it's because of the boat or someone else, and at least half of the wood is soaked in seawater every time.

The worker's words made Mu Huainan and I understand.

"So it's like that." Shen Xiuyuan laughed with confidence. I didn't understand anything and went over to ask curiously, "Where's it going? What's going on? Why didn't I understand what was going on? When wood was brought in from the sea, wasn't it normal for it to be soaked in water? "

Shen Xiuyuan laughed.

"You silly girl, all the cargo tanks have a water measuring device, so no drop of water will enter the warehouse. If the timber has several batches of water inflow problems, why do you think it would be so serious if the person in charge didn't report it and didn't repair the integrated cargo ship?"

I frowned and thought about it.

"Because the person in charge was bribed by the competitor, asking him to use the cargo ship to enter the water loophole and damage the wood, while the owner unknowingly continued to process and sell the wood to the customer, but the quality is much lower than before. Over time, the customer would be lost and the company would suffer huge economic losses."

Shen Xiuyuan beamed, and could not help but clap his hands in praise.

"Smart! As expected of the daughter of an old fox, her talent in business is indeed top-notch. "

This compliment didn't make me very happy, so I couldn't help but raise my eyes to look at Mu Huainan's face. I wasn't confident, and my words were a little trembling.

Then … This competitor that is bribing Gu Heng, is he my father? "

Although I'm young, I still have a clear mind. From the moment Gu Heng mentioned the Lu Group, my heart had roughly understood that the starting date for selling the construction materials at a low price in my old debt was two months ago, which was also the day Gu Heng started to soak the wood.

Mu Huainan looked at me deeply, his silence replacing all the answers.
