At a quarter past eleven in the night, the private jet parked at the nearest airport was ready to take off. The black extended version of the Rolls-Royce shone sharply in the moonlight in the villa yard.

In the bedroom on the first floor, Shen Boyan zipped the suitcase to the end, and the heavy bottom suitcase was just like his image.

After making all the preparations, Shen Boyan straightened up and looked at the young man, who had been standing at the door for a while.

Xia Shu’an lowered his gaze, and the white light from one side of the wall tilted to hit his curved, delicate neck like a flowing veil. He gazed vacantly at the air, and it wasn’t until Shen Boyan stepped forward that he raised his eyelids, and there was a flash of light in his eyes.

Shen Boyan stretched out his hand and put his palm against his cheek. “Wait until I come back.”

Seeing that Xia Shu’an was a bit depressed, he joked, “I will defeat the evil dragon and dedicate my victory to my princess.”

Xia Shu’an narrowed his eyes, obviously wanting to lecture him on this sentence, but thinking of the trouble he was about to face, he frowned and held back.

He nuzzled Shen Boyan’s palm with rare docility and said, “Be careful.”

“I will.”

It was getting late, so in order not to delay his trip, Shen Boyan strode out of the villa, and Xia Shu’an escorted him to the door. The man’s figure gradually entered the darkness along with his companions. The car door struck, and the yellow headlights pierced through the quiet night. Immediately afterward, the car drove slowly in the cold night wind.

Xia Shu’an took a deep breath and slowly exhaled it.

The auntie behind him hesitated and said, “Mr. Xia…”

Xia Shu’an turned around with a smile on his face and said, “It’s ok, I’m fine. Let’s go to bed. You have to prepare breakfast in the morning, right?”

“Okay, okay.”

Only then did everyone disperse.

Xia Shu’an had already taken a shower before, and this time he went upstairs and got under the quilt. His good sleeping habits soon made him confused. Before falling into darkness, Xia Shu’an thought vaguely that it would take 14 hours to fly to South Africa. It was morning when Shen Boyan arrived there. He didn’t know what the weather was like there…

…….

Perhaps the night before the storm is always peaceful. On the first morning, Xia Shu’an had breakfast as usual and went to school under the protection of the retired special forces driver, who cherished his words like gold. The more peaceful it was, the more uneasy he felt. He had a vague feeling that Shen Boyan’s trip to South Africa was not a result but just a means to an end.

At around one o’clock in the afternoon, Xia Shu’an received a message from the man across the ocean reporting that he was safe. He simply stated that he had arrived safely and probably went to work immediately. After that, he never contacted Xia Shu’an again.

The next time he got news about Shen Boyan was when he was about to get off work.

At around four o’clock in the afternoon, as he was about to get off work, the senior sister, who had been busy all day, hammered her waist and sat down on the chair.

She took out her phone and scrolled through the news. Suddenly, her pupils dilated, and a rapid gasping sound could be heard between her breaths.

“Xiao Xia!!!”

The shrill scream instantly pierced the silence of the laboratory. Xia Shu’an couldn’t help but turn his head and look over. The senior sister opened her eyes wide, grabbed Xia Shu’an’s arm with a look of horror, and handed over the mobile phone in her hand.

“Shen Boyan was arrested!”

What?

Not just Xia Shu’an; everyone else in the laboratory stopped working and turned their heads.

The senior sister’s scream was like a torpedo rushing into the water. After a short period of accumulation, it broke through the resistance of the water pressure and sent out an explosive impact: “Shen Boyan was caught ** in South Africa!!!”

Xia Shu’an: “…”

……

……

At five o’clock in the evening, the evening wind rolled up the falling leaves. Xia Shu’an hugged his coat tightly and hurried out of the laboratory door. As soon as he got into the car, the phone calls came in one after another.

As soon as the call was connected, a fiery shout came: “Sister-in-law, the boss won’t go to □□!!!”

Xia Shu’an: “…”

He took a deep breath and said calmly, with his upbringing, “Please call me Brother Xia.”

Lu Cai said weakly, “Brother Xia.”

Xia Shu’an had a calm face. “That’s more like it. Shen Boyan won’t go to □□.”

“Do you really know?”

“I know. Assistant Lin is calling. I’ll hang up first.”

Xia Shu’an hung up Lu Cai’s phone and picked up another call. The man on the other end of the phone got straight to the point:

“Mr. Xia, President Shen definitely didn’t go to □□. We didn’t have any arrangements to go to an entertaining place in our itinerary plan.”

Xia Shu’an said gently, “I understand. Do you have the latest news about him?”

Assistant Lin: “Neither President Shen nor Assistant Qi can be contacted. We are contacting two other colleagues.”

Xia Shu’an: “Okay, call me if you have any news.”

“OK.”

The phone was hung up here, and the next second:

“Hey mom—”

Xia’s mother: “An’an, Xiao Shen won’t do such a thing; don’t worry!”

Dad surfs too fast.

Xia Shu’an comforted her softly: “I know. Assistant Lin called just now. I will inform you if there’s any news.”

“Okay, okay, then don’t worry; Xiao Shen is still very reliable in his work.”

Xia Shu’an: “Yeah.”

The phone was put aside. Buzz buzz—

Chu Wenzhi: “Shu’an, I saw the news that Shen Boyan has been arrested. There must be a misunderstanding about this. He doesn’t seem to be such a person with no sense of propriety.”

“….”

After answering nearly ten calls in a row, Xia Shu’an finally couldn’t help shouting, “Yes, yes, I know he didn’t go.”

“Yes, he didn’t go! I’m going home for dinner; it’s getting dark, so hurry up and eat too!”

Xia Shu’an’s friends and Shen Boyan’s friends: “…”

The special force driver in front, who was concentrating on driving, couldn’t help but glance at him through the mirror.

Finally ending all the greeting calls, Xia Shu’an collapsed on his seat, exhausted. It has been almost half an hour since Assistant Lin called. Xia Shuan instinctively redirected the call page to Assistant Lin’s and then paused. Assistant Lin was probably just as busy as he was with all the phone calls at this time. If he didn’t call, he must still be accessing the situation.

He took a breath and put down the phone again.

After arriving home, Xia Shu’an forced himself to have dinner. Fortunately, both aunts were not good at surfing the Internet, so they continued as usual.

After dinner, it was around six o’clock in the evening when Assistant Lin called again:

“I learned that President Shen went directly to the factory after getting off the plane. He arrived at the factory at 2:50 Beijing time and immediately met with several senior executives in the factory. At 3:57, local South African police broke into the company and took him away. The name given at the time was the suspicion that President Shen was □□ in South Africa.”

“We have contacted local lawyers and requested the immediate release of President Shen. However, South Africa’s security management is relatively chaotic, and it’s not yet certain when exactly President Shen and Assistant Qi can be released.”

Xia Shu’an now understands why Yang Han and the others wanted to lure Shen Boyan to South Africa. South Africa is a place with relatively chaotic political and public order. In such a place, even if you have a very glorious title and enough money, you will still fall into a trap.

Xia Shu’an frowned and said, “I’m worried that Shen Boyan’s being taken away is just the beginning. Are you all still working overtime? You have to pay close attention to all aspects of the situation today. This night shouldn’t be easy.”

Assistant Lin: “Understood, several managers are on standby at any time, and the public opinion department is working overtime in the company. Mr. Xia, don’t worry too much. With President Shen’s status, they wouldn’t dare to go too far, and we’ve hired the best and most authoritative team of lawyers in the area.”

“Okay, I’ll contact you if I have any news.”

After hanging up the phone, Xia Shu’an’s heart didn’t feel relieved. Instead, he became more and more uneasy. But he knew that he wouldn’t wait long, and the other party wouldn’t give them time to come up with a corresponding plan.

Half an hour after the phone call ended, after the first popular search “Wenhui’s president was arrested in South Africa,” another hot search was quickly added.

The life of the Wenhui President before his fortune

[Free Media Person v: While everyone is very enthusiastic about Wenhui boss □□, let me give you some facts about this famous young entrepreneur.

Regarding this famous, self-made, outstanding young entrepreneur, the encyclopedia only writes about his glorious entrepreneurial history and various awesome titles today. Almost no one knows what happened before or during his entrepreneurial career. Now let’s talk about his deeds before he became famous.

Shen Boyan’s experience before starting his own business can be said to be very “brilliant.” He was born in a small county town in Gaoping City. His father was a well-known gangster in the local area. He was a compulsive gambler, addicted to alcohol, and had serious violent tendencies. When Shen Boyan was very young, his mother couldn’t stand the beatings from his father and left the house.

Shen Boyan grew up with his gambling father and can be said to have committed all sorts of crimes and engaged in every kind of evil. He has been fighting, skipping classes, and going to internet cafes since he was a child. No one cares about him at all. He was lawless in school and dared to fight his teachers when he was in elementary school. In middle and high school, it becomes even more outrageous. He blackmailed his classmates, hung out with gangsters, and fought in groups like a future social worm.

Mfn: Metaphor for those who have a negative impact on the well-being and progress of society.

Later, his father died in an accident while drunk. Shen Boyan, who was still in high school at the time, moved to his uncle’s house, and his family paid for his last year of schooling. However, this guy didn’t understand his uncle’s painstaking efforts at all. Not only did he continue to commit evil deeds, but he also worsened the situation. When he was in high school, he got into a fight in an alley and was stabbed directly into the hospital. He dropped out of school soon after he was discharged.

At that time, everyone thought that he would either become a gangster or move bricks at a construction site. Unexpectedly, he, the least favored by anyone, turned out to be a big boss. Therefore, this society is full of surprises. [dog’s head][dog’s head]

Hundreds of comments quickly piled up below:

[Are the people who defended him before having nothing to say? From his experience, I can surmise that he definitely did something illegal to amass a large amount of wealth in such a short period of time. ]

[The industry has always known that Wenhui’s boss is involved in organized crime. Otherwise, how could he, a person with no background, make the company so big? ]

[Wenhui is a company that engages in every kind of evil imaginable. The water in the pharmaceutical industry is the deepest. After all, ordinary people can’t tell one from the other. Maybe what happened to the sick boy before was because they distorted the facts and confused right and wrong. ]

[Originally, it’s the rich who have the final say in this society. As long as the money is enough, what the media say is what they want.]

[So disgusting, so disgusting, so disgusting]

[□□ I hated these kinds of people the most when I was a student. Every time I saw them, I had to take a detour. The thought of such people working in the pharmaceutical industry related to people’s livelihoods makes me feel sick and scared! ]

[Can’t the state really do a good job of investigating, and won’t there be any problems with letting people like this take control of an industry that is so closely related to the public’s health?]

The comments below were almost one-sided, all condemning Shen Boyan, and some even retold the “middle-aged man” incident from last week.

[Free media person v: In order to prevent everyone from saying that I’m making things up, let me show you some photos [picture][picture]]

Those are two photos of Shen Boyan when he was young. He was wearing a student uniform, and he looked like he was in junior high school, but at that time, the boy was already over 1.8 meters tall, standing out among the crowd.

The young man in the photo has unruly eyes and sharp eyebrows, like a freshly-baked, sharp blade that hasn’t been tempered and doesn’t know how to restrain himself. He only knows how to wield his edge wantonly, cutting everyone who comes close to him.

Among the students around him, only he was wearing the most irregular school uniform. He had his coat open and his sleeves rolled up. His dark pupils stared coldly at the camera. There was a pale pink scar under his short black hair between his eyebrows, as if he had just been in a fight with someone. The youthful anger is almost ready to break through the screen and rush into the face of the person who is viewing the photo.

Xia Shu’an stared blankly at the boy in the photo. This image completely overlapped with what he had imagined Shen Boyan looked like when he was young. Xia Shu’an could almost imagine how he transformed from such a childish but equally sharp person, step by step. The arrogant boy turned into a man who is sometimes troublesome and sometimes domineering and is invincible in the business world.

The comments below were still being updated, with new netizens pouring in every second, yet Xia Shu’an had forgotten to click on the new comments as he stared blankly at the teenager occupying the screen and fell into a complex and subtle feeling. After about ten seconds, he gently stretched out his finger.
