Chapter 155: Halfway to the robbery
The next morning, although not in the best of spirits, Lauren, with her makeup on, still looked in good
spirits.
"Wang Ma, is breakfast ready?"
Wang Ma nodded and put the finished breakfast, in front of Lauren.
"Young master and Emily went for a run?"
Ever since Emily lived in the mansion, she has been working out with Matthew every day. Although it
has long been used to it, but when seeing the two of them come back talking and laughing, Lauren's
heart, still time and again sent a tingling feeling.
"No. The young master has been in the study today and has not come out until now, and for some
reason, no matter how we knock on the door, the young master has not heard anything back."
"Are you sure the young master is in there?"
Wang Ma nodded.
"Yes, we can hear a crackling sound coming from the study, but when we knock on the door, the young
master just doesn't answer, but the young master has given instructions that no one is allowed to enter
his study without his permission, so all we can do is stay here and be anxious."
Lauren nodded.
"I'll go upstairs and take a look, Wang Ma, cook some light breakfast for young master, young master
has been busy with his work recently, his body may not be able to take it."
Having said that, Lauren turned around and walked out of the restaurant, heading for the study on the
second floor.
She walked to the study door, also knocked several times, but did not hear any echo, if not Wang Ma
was very sure that Matthew was in the study, she would have thought that it was empty.
After knocking a few more times and still not hearing Matthew's voice, Lauren had to turn back to the
room she was in and from the drawer, take out the spare key.
Opening the door to the study, it was dark inside. Lauren hurried to the window and pulled back the
heavy curtains so that the sunlight from outside could pour in.
"Close the curtains."
Just after opening the curtains, Lauren heard Matthew's somewhat frail voice. Following the sound,
Matthew was seen lying pale on the sofa with only a robe on his body, the buttons of which were still
open.
There is no trace of fat body, so presented in front of their own, Lauren's face, instantly tinged with a
layer of red.
"Lauren, I told you to close the curtains, you hear me."
Matthew, who finished speaking, came with a violent coughing sound.
"You're sick?"
Lauren hurriedly went to Matthew's front and, despite his pushing throat, probed his forehead.
"Oh my God, you're actually running a fever, wait a minute, I'm going to find the medicine right now."
Lauren rushed out of the study and ordered Wang's mother to find fever-reducing medicine, while she
poured a glass of warm water and returned to the study again.
"Miss, the medicine has been found, give it to the young master quickly."
Wang's mother gasped and put the fever-reducing medicine in Lauren's hand.
"Matthew, get up and take your medicine, take it and get a good night's sleep so your body will
recover."
But after shouting for half a day, Matthew just did not open his mouth. Let Lauren a face of anxiety.
"I don't want to eat it, take it away, it's bitter."
Matthew pushed away Lauren's hand with the medicine with a disgusted look on his face.
"Wang Ma, help me hold the young master while I pour the medicine down to him."
Wang's mother nodded and held Matthew's arm, while Lauren broke Matthew's mouth and poured the
medicine directly into Matthew's mouth.
"Lauren, you're looking for death."
The bitter taste in his mouth made Matthew a handsome face, the whole wrinkled together, completely
lost the original handsome and dashing.
"There's no way around it, you're getting sick, it's the only thing you can do, or you can call the family
doctor and stick a needle in your ass, you can choose for yourself."
Knowing that Matthew didn't have the strength to argue with himself, Lauren looked at him with a smile
on her face.
"When I get better, I'll tell you the consequences of doing that."
Matthew gritted his teeth and looked at Lauren.
"Well, then get well soon so I can know what the consequences are, huh?"
Lauren looked at Matthew without fear, took the porridge from Wang's mother, blew it cold and brought
it to Matthew's mouth.
"Open your mouth and eat it."
Matthew passively opened his mouth, a hot current instantly spread throughout his body, and he really
felt that happiness was surrounding him.
Matthew, who had taken the medicine, slept again, and when he opened his eyes again, he felt much
more relaxed and looked at Lauren lying beside him with a smile on his face.
Gently lifted the covers off his body and went to the bathroom to take a shower before Matthew
grabbed the papers and headed for the door.
"Where are you going? You haven't recovered your body yet?"
Lauren opened her eyes and saw Matthew, who was already at the door.
She hurried to his front and touched his forehead. Luckily, the fever had gone down, but the obvious
weakness on Matthew's face still made Lauren very distressed.
"I have to go to the construction site, which I already have an appointment today, and I must go to the
site to see their progress."
"But your body is still weak, aren't you afraid your body will get cold again?"
Matthew shook his head.
"It's okay, I already have an appointment today, I have to go. You stay home."
Lauren shook her head.
"No, I'm your secretary, I'm supposed to follow you around. Wait a minute, I'll go to my room and get
the information, wait for me in front."
With that said, Lauren headed for her room.
A moment later, Lauren, holding the information in her hands, came to Matthew's side and the two
arrived at the office together.
"Aren't you going to the construction site? Why are you here at the office again?"
Lauren was a little surprised.
"We're going to have to wait a little bit because Emily is coming with us."
"Emily is coming with us?" Hearing this answer, Lauren's heart felt a little uncomfortable. But she didn't
show it on her face. There was still a light smile on her face.
"I'm here, I'm really sorry to keep you waiting."
Emily, with her assistant, came to Matthew and Lauren with apologies on her face.
"It's okay, let's hurry, the appointed time has arrived."
Matthew nodded and told the driver to go back, while he sat in the driver's seat.
"Lauren, why don't you sit up front. The front will be more comfortable."
Emily opened the passenger seat and turned to Lauren.
"Emily, why don't you sit up front. I have some development case stuff to talk to you about."
Matthew's words caused the smile on Lauren's face to freeze for a moment. It also brought a smile to
Emily's face, too.
"Miss. Li, why don't you sit in the back with me."
Emily's assistant walked up to Lauren, took her wrist, and sat down in the back of the car.
Lauren, who was sitting in the back seat, looked at the picture of Matthew and Emily talking and
laughing and was in great pain. He glanced his head out the window, not wanting to see the image that
made his heart ache.
"Ouch."
As the car lurched, Emily let out a shriek and her body fell directly onto Matthew's arm.
"Are you okay?"
Through the rear mirror. matthew saw Lauren's body, obviously hitting the car door, which made him a
little worried and hurried back. An anxious expression was on his face.
"I'm fine, you should still be concerned about Emily, who just sounded like she was in pain."
Lauren's words were full of sarcasm. Matthew's face turned a little ugly, fiercely glared at her, his eyes
sharpened like a sword, and a sneer spilled over his lips. Then he turned around and faced Emily.
"Emily, are you okay, do you want to take a break?"
Emily shook her head and falsely wiped the sweat from her face for a test.
"I'm fine, maybe the road is too bad, that's why I didn't pay attention for a while, fortunately, I didn't hit
you, or else I might have had an accident."
The corners of Matthew's mouth, slightly raised. Casually traced a glance at the rear mirror. The face
changed dramatically.
The back of the hand holding the steering wheel is flushed with veins.
"You guys do steady, there are a few cars behind us, driving towards us, if I'm not wrong, the target
should be us."
Matthew's voice was full of seriousness.
Emily glanced backwards. Also realized the seriousness of the matter. A bold plan, quickly formed in
the middle of the mind.
"Lauren, you hold on. I'm going to accelerate." In this most critical moment, Matthew's first thought was
Lauren behind him, and he really regretted, regretted letting Lauren sit in the back.
But in Emily's case, and can not be with the wind. Ray and the guys are in contact. It seems that today
only rely on themselves, hope that these people do not bring any guys, only simply want to give a
warning to themselves.
As Matthew accelerated, several cars behind him, also accelerated and showed signs of catching up
with Matthew's car.
"They're catching up, can we escape?"
The last time she was chased. It has been deeply left in Lauren's mind, she was scared and pale.
Unable to forget the last time, the man in the car behind her, holding a gun in his hand, shooting at
himself.
"Don't worry, I won't let you get hurt."
Matthew had to drive the car while comforting Lauren, and also pay attention to the movements of the
car behind.
"Matthew, watch the front. There are cars up ahead." Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
Emily's warning allowed Matthew to focus on the front and narrowly avoid the car next to him. Just as
everyone was breathing a sigh of relief, a large truck, eight or nine meters in size, approached their car.
"Matthew, there's something suspicious about this van, you need to be more careful."
Matthew nodded, also noticing the van that was getting closer to him.
When he saw the owner of the van, a smile appeared on his face, the nerves that had been tense,
finally completely relaxed.
Made a look to the person driving the car that only the two of them would understand. The van slowed
down and crossed directly behind Matthew, eight or nine meters long, directly stopping several cars
behind Matthew.
"Matthew, do you know the owner of this van?"
Emily's face was a little gloomy when her plans were interrupted by this large van.
"Do not know ah. Maybe the road skidded and it just hit the side of the road, why? You think I know it?"
Emily shook his head and looked backward again, and sure enough there were big trucks in the middle
of the road, and there were no more cars following behind the car.
Emily had a somewhat dejected look on her face.
"Lauren, are you okay, or should we take you to the hospital first?"
Emily's fake concern for Lauren behind her.
"No, I'm fine, let's get to the site."
Although Emily does not know the details of the big truck, but Lauren recognizes that the owner of the
big truck driving, is the same wind that saved them last time.
The nerves that had been tense, because of the appearance of the wind. Lauren's face, there is no
longer any fear. Instead, because of Matthew's concern at the critical moment just now, and a smile.
Matthew's face. Also showed a happy smile.
Soon, they arrived at the site without any problems.
Because of her health, Lauren and Emily's assistant, came to the site manager's office to rest while
Emily and Matthew went to the site to inspect the work.
"Miss. Li, do you like CEO Yin a lot?"
Emily's assistant, came to Lauren with a smile on her face.
"Why do you ask that?"
Lauren looked up from the information, although he did not have to go to the site to inspect the work,
but he should do the work, Lauren still do not want to have any omission.
"Miss. Li, do you think it's interesting to stay by CEO Yin's side with your current mistress relationship?
You will delay his search for his own happiness, and with CEO Yin's status, he should find a woman
who is a good match for his family. But I think other women, is it possible that they will accept you to
pester by his side?"
The contempt in the assistant's words. Let Lauren's beautiful eyebrows tighten together, but her face,
still maintain a bashful smile.
"Miss Zhou, you are just an assistant, and the assistant of Miss Emily of Shangguan's Group, do you
think you have the qualification to make any evaluation for Matthew? Also, you said in your mouth that
Matthew must find a woman who is a good match for him. Do you think this woman must be Emily?"
The assistant Zhou's words made Lauren very disgusted, if not for Emily's sake, she would really let
this woman disappear within her sight immediately.
"Miss Li, you should know that as the sole owner of Shangguan's Group, she can go in and out with
CEO Yin, and our Miss is very outstanding in her working ability. Once Shangguan's Group and Yin's
Group are married, I believe a new fairy tale will be created in the business world. Don't you hope that
CEO Yin can find a woman to match him?"
Lauren heaved the file in her hand and slammed it in front of Assistant Zhou.
"Assistant Zhou, if not for the face that Emily is my good friend, I guarantee that you will disappear in
front of me immediately. As for what will happen between Matthew and me, it has nothing to do with
you, and one thing, I want to tell you, if Emily really likes Matthew, she can let go and go after him, I
won't be a threat to anyone."
Lauren picked up the information and proudly walked past Assistant Zhou.
