Chapter 717: Nian Nian is well
Shen Lan stood up suddenly and looked at the envelope on the table, his blood boiling.
"This……"
Her lips were trembling, her eyes were red, and she was so excited that she couldn't even utter a complete sentence.
"This was written to you by your brother. I haven't read it."
Chu Xu emphasized this sentence and then explained: "Sc Group has recently changed its leader."
Shen Lan suddenly raised his eyes to look at him, a guess came to his mind, and he said in disbelief: "Could it be that my brother, my brother is it?"
Chu Xu nodded. "Yes. With the transition from old to new power, your brother is in a very difficult situation now, with many eyes watching him. My people didn't think about it at the time, until your brother discovered we were looking for him and took the initiative to contact my people. Because he was under surveillance, it was inconvenient to have too much contact, so we only got this letter."
When Chu Xu heard the news from his subordinates, he was also incredulous.
He had heard about what happened to the Shen family back then. Shen An was kidnapped by a group of criminals and his life or death was unknown. Everyone thought he was in great danger and no one expected him to have such a fate.
However, to stand out from so many people and become the person in charge of Sc Group, Shen An must have paid unimaginable hardships, and his own abilities must be excellent enough.
Shen Lan's eyes became even redder. Chu Xu was thinking about the same thing as she was thinking about.
She has had a hard life these years, but her brother, who is living away from home, must have had a harder life than her.
I don't know if he was tortured by criminals. He had no relatives in a foreign country and no one he knew. He was trained strictly at such a young age and competed for a position with so many people. To achieve his current success, he must have made efforts that ordinary people can't imagine.
Shen Lan took a deep breath and opened the envelope.
The first words on the letter were "I wish you all the best."
Just four short words made Shen Lan burst into tears instantly.
It’s my brother’s handwriting!
Shen An has been practicing calligraphy since he was a child, and his handwriting had already taken shape when he disappeared. After so many years, his handwriting has become more mature, and it contains a sense of elegance in its restraint.
At that time, Lu Chuan asked Zhou Fang to imitate and practice Shen An's previous handwriting. The handwriting had the shape of the characters but lacked style. At first glance, it looked like it was written by Shen An, but upon closer inspection, it was not as good as the handwriting Shen An wrote when he was ten years old.
This letter is very short and it can be seen that it was written in a hurry.
But between the lines is Shen An's unique tenderness towards his sister.
He first briefly recounted his experience of being stranded overseas. After being kidnapped by the gang of criminals, he followed them and fled everywhere, hiding everywhere. Later, he pretended to be hit on the head and acted crazy.
When the gang of criminals realized they couldn't get any useful information out of him, they sold him abroad.
After being sold, he stopped pretending to be crazy and stupid, and found ways to catch the attention of Sc Group and was taken back for training.
He originally thought that he would return to China to see his sister when he had enough ability, but he didn't expect that he was always under surveillance. After seeing with his own eyes that the children in the same batch contacted their families and were dealt with, Shen An lay low.
Only by constantly climbing up and standing at a high enough position can I gain freedom and see my sister.
With this idea in mind, Shen Anmu worked hard and eventually became the new generation leader of Sc Group.
After just a few words, Shen Lan seemed to see Shen An's embarrassed look, and tears kept flowing down.
Shen An asked her to wait for him, and that the matter at Sc Group would be settled in three months at the latest.
He also said that when he was wandering with the gang of criminals, he overheard them talking to the mastermind behind the scenes and already knew who had killed his parents. He was already searching for relevant evidence and told Shen Lan not to intervene rashly to avoid alerting the enemy.
The last sentence was written in very neat handwriting, with tenderness and doting between the lines.
"Brother, everything is fine. Nian Nian, take good care of yourself and wait for me to come find you."
The signature was a simple jasmine flower, formed in one stroke. This pattern was designed by Shen An himself, a little secret code known only to the brother and sister.
Shen Lan smiled, carefully folded the letter and put it away, wiped her tears, and looked at Chu Xu.
Her eyes were full of gratitude, and her voice trembled with tears: "Thank you, thank you so much."
Chu Xu really helped her a lot. Shen Lan was very grateful and didn't know how to thank him.
Chu Xu saw her heartfelt gratitude and said, "Then why don't you consider leaving Xiao Yun and being with me?"
Shen Lan paused and smiled awkwardly.
Chu Xu lowered his eyes and curled the corners of his lips, but his heart sank.
"That's really not possible." Shen Lan said helplessly: "With your conditions, you can have any girlfriend you want. You are obsessed with me just to irritate Xiao Yun, not really like me."
Chu Xu raised his eyes and looked at the fair-skinned and beautiful girl in front of him, his eyes slightly deep: "How do you know that I don't really like you?"
Seeing Shen Lan stunned, he suddenly smiled, and his delicate and handsome face became more youthful.
"I was just kidding. You don't need to thank me. It was your brother who took the initiative to contact my people this time, not my people who found him. Besides, you met my grandmother before she died. Just for this reason, I am happy to help you."
He paused after he finished speaking and said, "If you really want to thank me, can you give me a hug?"
