Shen Mochen was led by the manager into an office.

This is a very luxurious office, like a suite, and it even has a bathroom.

"Go in and wash up. The boss has other business to attend to and will probably be here in about an hour." The manager pointed to the bathroom door and said in somewhat broken Yu Pi's voice, "I'll go find you a clean set of clothes."

Shen Mochen nodded, thanked him, took off his hat, sunglasses, and mask, and went into the bathroom.

The manager immediately went out, locked the room door from the inside, quickly found a set of clean clothes that no one had worn, and returned to the office.

Shen Mochen was still taking a bath inside, and the sound of rushing water could be faintly heard.

The manager paced back and forth outside the door, her excitement barely contained. The memory of those heartbreaking eyes and that innocent, handsome face stirred something deep within her, even after being bombarded by countless handsome men.

She thought she had long since closed her heart to love, and that only money and power were in her eyes, but now Shen Mochen suddenly appeared, like an asteroid crashing into the sea.

She didn't know if Shen Mochen could stay here. If he couldn't, then she would have no chance in the future. If he could stay, would she still have the right to covet him?

If he can't stay here, why not seize the opportunity? If she has the right to covet it, why not now?

Poor boy, he probably hasn't even experienced the pleasures of a girl yet. Poor boy, hiding in a foreign land for so long, he must be terrified.

It's okay, your older sister is here to comfort you.

She approached the mirror, looked at her still radiant reflection, took a deep breath, and nervously and expectantly took off her clothes.

Then she tidied her hair a little, opened the bathroom door, and went inside.

Shen Mochen was clearly taken aback and slightly turned his body away: "What's wrong?"

"Your interview began the moment you walked into this office, and that's part of it..."

Following her prepared remarks, she slowly lowered her eyes, then was suddenly stunned into silence.

"You, you..." She took a deep breath, looked at Shen Mochen again, her face flushed, and stepped forward to hug him, kissing his lips greedily. "Now, call me Lisa."

……

Shen Mochen helped the limp and powerless Lisa out of the bathroom. Lisa's eyes were filled with infatuation. So there really is a heaven in the world. She had just stepped onto the threshold of heaven countless times. It was truly an unprecedentedly wonderful experience.

She wrapped her arms around Shen Mochen's neck, speechless for a long time.

"Sister Lisa, are you alright?" Shen Mochen asked with concern.

She shook her head blankly until the phone rang, at which point she struggled to pick it up.

"The boss is here," she said wistfully.

After getting dressed, she tried to get up to greet him, but her legs gave way and she collapsed into Shen Mochen's arms. A sudden wave of regret washed over her; why had she reported this to her boss? If only she had been a little bolder…

"What on earth happened... Wow!"

A middle-aged man walked straight into the office, and screamed the moment he saw Shen Mochen, immediately locking the door behind him.

"How did you end up here!" The boss rushed forward, grasped Shen Mochen's hand, his eyes filled with surprise and a thirst for money.

“He has amnesia,” Lisa said.

She was too weak to stand up any longer, so she sat down and spoke to her boss. However, at this moment, the latter didn't seem to mind Manager Lisa's slight rudeness at all.

"What's going on? Could he be... a real person?" the boss exclaimed.

He simply couldn't believe Shen Mochen himself would be here, so he even suspected that this was just another person who looked very much like Shen Mochen. But could there really be someone in the world who looked so alike? Or rather, could there really be a second face with such a breathtakingly beautiful appearance?

"Little brother, go to your bedroom and rest for a bit," Lisa said to Shen Mochen. "We'll call you out later."

Shen Mochen obediently went into the bedroom and closed the door behind him.

After Shen Mochen left, the boss couldn't wait to ask Lisa about what had happened. Lisa explained the situation truthfully, but omitted what had just occurred.

"In other words, he is Shen Mochen himself..." The boss took a deep breath, then tapped the table, his eyes shifting between deep and greedy. "I think I know the reason."

"You know?"

"Yes, I can guess who did it to him." The boss gave a mysterious smile.

"Who dares to do such a thing?" Lisa asked hurriedly.

Shen Mochen is no ordinary nobody; he is Yu Pi's diplomatic envoy. And the incident happened in such an important place as Saint-Marie!

“The Alexandrov family,” the boss uttered slowly.

“You mean the Alexandrov family that inherited the name of the Marquis of Gulankin?” Lisa was shocked.

This family's name was renowned throughout Romano; outside of the royal family, the ten marquis families held immense power. Although there were nominally four dukes, they were merely an extension of the royal family, outwardly prestigious but lacking the real power of the ten marquis families.

As far as she knew, the owner of this "paradise" was actually a member of a marquis's family.

The boss said meaningfully, "Yes, it's possible that not only the Alexandrov family, but other families are involved."

Lisa was horrified: "Why?"

What heinous crime did Shen Mochen commit that prompted more than one marquis family to issue a kill order?
"You'd better not know." The boss shook his head, his eyes darting around rapidly.

He felt he had figured out the whole story.

Shen Mochen had caused a scene at the Alexandrov family's little princess's coming-of-age ceremony, something he had heard about. However, he didn't know the full story; everyone who had witnessed the event at the Guanghai Winery was tight-lipped about it.

He only heard that, in the end, Ekaterina Petrovna Alexandrova publicly announced that she had chosen Shen Mochen as her husband.

This is utter nonsense!
In his view, this was nothing more than a little girl's rebellion, but the incident had a terrible impact, and the Alexandrov family would never allow a future marquis to marry a foreign man.

Therefore, they had ample reason to eliminate Shen Mochen.

Ekaterina was renowned for her beauty from a young age. Her birth mother, Angelina, was one of the most famous actresses in the Roman world and the woman who collaborated most frequently with director Vasilyevich. She was once known as "the woman closest to an angel," a goddess and ideal woman in the hearts of countless Roman men. Unfortunately, she retired from acting after marrying Count Petrov.

However, her daughter surpassed her mother in beauty, and it is said that she was even more beautiful than her mother. From a young age, countless noblemen were infatuated with her and competed for her affections.

When Catherine was twelve, a duel between a marquis's son and a count's son resulted in their accidental deaths. This was the direct reason why the Alexandrov family sent Catherine abroad with her parents.

Otherwise, if she were allowed to stay in the country, who knows how many more boys she would have messed with.

In short, Catherine had no shortage of suitors, so in addition to the Alexandrov family, other families had ample motivation to assist her.

The boss even suspected that the Alexandrov family had already consulted with Yu Pi before taking action, and that the two sides had reached an understanding before making their move.

Therefore, Yu Pi's side remained calm and pretended that nothing had happened.

He estimated that in a while, news would spread that "Shen Mochen, the censor, had perished at the hands of a monster." (End of Chapter)
