Chapter 479 Lu Wenzhou Sacrificed
"No," Lu Wenzhou explained, "There's a problem with a project in the Northwest, and Minister Cheng wants me to go and help!"

Lu Shengsheng's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled. "Oh, then go ahead."

"I'm sorry, we have to postpone getting the marriage certificate." Lu Wenzhou was still apologizing.

"Business is important." Lu Shengsheng understood. "How long are you going to be gone?"

"It could take two weeks at the fastest, or about a month at the slowest." Lu Wenzhou hadn't expected to be asked to go there at this crucial moment.

"It's okay, you go ahead!" Lu Shengsheng lifted the covers and got out of bed to help him pack his things. "I don't know what it'll be like over there, so bring both your light and heavy clothes."

Lu Wenzhou hugged her from behind and pressed his cheek against hers. "Sheng Sheng, thank you."

Lu Shengsheng pushed his face away, "Stop being so affectionate, Minister Cheng's people are still waiting for you."

He paused for a moment and then said, "By the way, you haven't had breakfast yet, have you?"

"Minister Cheng's people are ready."

"That's good!"

After packing, Lu Shengsheng saw him off at the door. She was already waiting and took Lu Wenzhou's luggage as soon as they came out.

Lu Wenzhou turned to look at her, "I might not be able to contact you after I get there, don't worry. I'll contact you as soon as I can."

Lu Shengsheng knew that the project he was going to participate in was definitely a confidential one, and he couldn't contact the outside world, not even his family.

“I know!” Lu Shengsheng pouted. “Do I look like such an immature person?”

"My fiancée is the most understanding person," Lu Wenzhou praised her, then added, "Old Ma is yours; you can have him take you wherever you want!"

To put his mind at ease and ensure he had no worries, I nodded in agreement.

"Mr. Lu, it's time to go." The bodyguard glanced at his watch and had to interrupt them.

Time is of the essence, and the mission is urgent; we must escort him to the Northwest immediately.

Lu Wenzhou took a deep breath, his dark eyes filled with reluctance. "I'm leaving."

"I'll wait for you to come back." Lu Shengsheng looked up at him, her red lips curving into a smile, showing no trace of sorrow at their parting.

As Lu Wenzhou turned to get into the car, he stopped, turned back, wrapped his arms around the back of her neck, and pressed his lips hard against hers.

"Wait for me to come back!" After saying that, she turned around and got into the car.

Lu Shengsheng smiled and waved to him, watching the car drive away.

Only after the car had completely disappeared did the smile on his lips fade, and disappointment and worry filled his eyes.

I don't know how long he'll be gone, or if what he's doing will be dangerous.

Lu Wenzhou, you must come back safe and sound!

After Lu Wenzhou left, Lu Shengsheng didn't stay idle either.

K&G has officially announced her as their Asian brand ambassador, and she is the only one. This is enough for fans to brag about for three years.

Advertising and on-the-ground promotions were carried out simultaneously worldwide, while in Beijing, her large-screen photos were almost everywhere.

Her value skyrocketed, and she received countless offers. However, she didn't rush to accept scripts. Instead, she used this time to hire an acting coach, immerse herself in learning acting, and practice her original lines.

Zhao Xuan was initially worried that she would be too focused on love, but seeing how seriously and diligently she studied, she felt much more at ease.

Almost a month has passed in the blink of an eye, and there is still no news from Lu Wenzhou.

Every night before going to bed, Lu Shengsheng would send him a message, telling him what she had done that day and what happy things had happened.

Sheng Sheng: Today, my acting teacher praised my significant progress, saying that I will definitely become a performing artist in the future. Just you wait! I will definitely make a name for myself in the film industry and take you to eat and drink the best food!
After sending the message, Lu Shengsheng put down her phone, turned off the light, and went to sleep.

She was half asleep in the middle of the night when she was suddenly woken up by a ringing phone. She reached for her phone under her pillow and squinted to see a string of unfamiliar callers.

He hesitated for a moment before answering, "Hello?"

"Is this Comrade Lu Shengsheng?" The voice on the other end of the phone was serious and old-fashioned.

"I am." Lu Shengsheng sat up, her eyelids suddenly twitching wildly. "May I ask who you are?" "Cheng Zheng! We've met before!"

Lu Shengsheng realized, "Minister Cheng?"

Cheng Zheng: "Yes, I'm calling so late because I have something bad to tell you."

Lu Shengsheng held her breath instantly, and her hand gripping the phone tightened involuntarily.

"Lu Wenzhou's project in the Northwest involves some important secrets, which I cannot disclose. The project is almost finished, but he was assassinated by spies on his way back to Beijing. Although we sent him to the military hospital immediately, but..."

He paused, then said with deep regret, "I'm sorry, Lu Wenzhou has sacrificed his life."

Lu Shengsheng's hand, which was holding the phone, suddenly fell to the ground, and tears fell silently down her cheeks.

She couldn't hear what Cheng Zheng said on the other end of the phone.

He was completely shattered, both physically and mentally.

She bent over, curled up into a ball, and trembled uncontrollably.

Finally, she let out a painful scream: "Ah...ah...ah..."

When Liang Hanyue arrived after receiving the news, Gu Ronghui had just gotten out of the car.

The two exchanged a glance, said nothing, and walked tacitly to the door.

Liang Hanyue rang the doorbell, "Sheng Sheng... Sheng Sheng, are you inside? Lu Sheng Sheng..."

No matter how many times she rang the doorbell or called out, there was no response from inside.

"Get out of the way, I'll do it!"

Liang Hanyue stepped back and made way for Gu Ronghui, who stepped forward but did not ring the doorbell. Instead, he thought for three seconds and entered the password.

"You don't know the password, this will trigger an alarm..."

Before he could finish speaking, a cold voice rang out, "The door is open."

Liang Hanyue: “…”

She looked at him with a puzzled and shocked expression. "How did you know the password?"

Gu Rong strode inside, her voice tinged with bitterness: "The password is the day she aborted the child."

Liang Hanyue choked up.

It was Gu Rong's first time visiting her villa, and she was unfamiliar with the surroundings, not knowing where the bedroom was.

I stood at the top of the stairs and scanned the area.

Liang Hanyue snapped out of her daze and walked over, saying, "Come with me."

She walked straight to the bedroom, with Gu Rong following behind her.

Liang Hanyue pushed open the bedroom door. The room was dark, with the curtains drawn and only a few rays of light filtering in through the gaps. A dark shadow seemed to be curled up beside the bed.

Gu Rong walked back to the window and pulled back the heavy curtains with a whoosh.

The glaring light made Lu Shengsheng instinctively turn her head to avoid it.

Gu Ronghui and Liang Hanyue then saw clearly that she was curled up on the bed, her face pale, her eyes red and swollen from crying, and her whole body looked like a broken doll without a soul, which could no longer be pieced back together.

Gu Ronghui felt as if her heart was being tightly gripped, and the pain was intense.

Liang Hanyue called out to her with heartache, "Sheng Sheng..."

Lu Shengsheng remained expressionless, her eyes dull and unresponsive.

Liang Hanyue gently grasped her cold fingertips, "Sheng Sheng, if you want to cry, just cry."
