They are all bad women!

"If that's the case, then you mean... get rid of him?" Lisa was a little startled.

Her initial lustful impulses suddenly subsided. The connections behind Shen Mochen were completely beyond her control. But was she really going to hand him over, even let him die...?

"No." The boss shook his head.

"So, you want to... kill him?" Lisa's eyes showed sadness.

"Keep him!" the boss said firmly.

"Huh?" Lisa was both surprised and delighted. "But you just said..."

The boss scoffed, "It's the Alexandrov family that wants to kill him, what does that have to do with me?"

He understood perfectly well that the reason Shen Mochen suffered this misfortune was simply because he was a target of greed. Who told him to be favored by Miss Alexandrova? As for a minor character like Shen Mochen, his death was no big deal... The Alexandrova family probably wouldn't care too much.

Moreover, he wasn't afraid that people would discover later that Shen Mochen was hiding with him.

The Alexandrov family has never said they wanted Shen Mochen dead, so why are you blaming me for taking him in? At worst, when the time comes, we'll just hand Shen Mochen over to them to deal with.

Moreover, the boss himself is a member of another marquisate family. Although he is not a core member, he is not someone the Alexandrov family can easily manipulate. Even if the Alexandrov family does want to get rid of Shen Mochen, they will inevitably have to give him a large sum of "compensation".

Moreover, the Alexandrov family's real reason for wanting to silence Shen Mochen was because of Princess Catherine's favor. Wouldn't it be an even greater humiliation to let Shen Mochen stay and work here? Once Catherine knows that Shen Mochen was once a young master here, wouldn't she be able to put an end to her hopes?

Perhaps the Alexandrov family should even thank him!

With this in mind, the boss felt absolutely certain. He called Shen Mochen out, straightened his expression, and began to question him.

"I have a general understanding of your situation," the boss said, feigning calmness. "But you need to answer me honestly: why did you come here?"

“I want a lot of money,” Shen Mochen replied.

"why?"

"I want to heal people's illnesses."

"to whom?"

"My girlfriend's mother."

"You have a girlfriend?"

She said she was my girlfriend, so maybe she is.

"Is your girlfriend the one who took you in these past few days?"

"Correct."

The boss's eyes flickered slightly. He thought to himself, how could Shen Mochen possibly have a girlfriend in Luo Man? She must have made it up because she thought Shen Mochen was handsome. What a lucky girl.

"Do you remember anything from before you lost your memory?" the boss asked again.

“I don’t remember at all,” Shen Mochen shook his head.

The boss's expression was serious: "Do you want to know who you are?"

Shen Mochen said earnestly, "Yes! Do you know me?"

The boss said quietly, "I know you. Your name is Shen Mochen, a celebrity in Yu Pi, but you offended someone, so you came to Roman for refuge. But you also have enemies in Roman, and they want to get rid of you. Perhaps that's why you have the thought that 'someone wants to kill you' in your mind." He didn't intend to completely hide it from Shen Mochen, after all, his goal was to get Shen Mochen to work as a prostitute and earn money, so some of the customers would inevitably reveal some things to Shen Mochen. Of course, he wouldn't explain the whole story to Shen Mochen either, since he needed to better control Shen Mochen.

"So, my name is Shen Mochen..." Shen Mochen murmured, as if he had just realized his name.

"May I ask who my enemy is?" Shen Mochen asked again.

"I don't know, but the other party can detonate a plane in the capital region, so they must be a big shot that even I can't afford to offend..." The boss shook his head and first threatened.

As expected, Shen Mochen was frightened and his face turned pale.

"Then... can't I stay here to work?" Shen Mochen murmured pitifully.

"Sigh!" The boss lit a cigarette, and after a long while, he sighed sympathetically. "It's not impossible. Although I would be taking some risks, I am a kind-hearted person. My son is the same age as you. You are pitiful too."

"Could you accept me?" Shen Mochen was overjoyed and showed a grateful expression.

The boss was secretly pleased: "Alright, I'll try my best not to assign you any work that requires you to be in the public eye. But as for your compensation... what do you have to say about that?"

"I...want a lot of money," Shen Mochen said timidly.

"How much?" The shopkeeper frowned slightly.

"...Five hundred thousand a month. Is that alright? Please, my girlfriend's mother really needs this money to save her life!"

"Five hundred thousand?" The boss's brows relaxed, and he laughed heartily. "No problem, kid, I can give you five hundred thousand! But you know, five hundred thousand is a considerable sum, so you'll have to work for me at least five days a week. Can you do that?"

“Of course!” Shen Mochen immediately assured him, but then quickly added hesitantly, “However… I have another request.”

"explain."

"My girlfriend doesn't know I'm doing this kind of thing... Could you please give this money to the hospital for me? Don't say it's from me, just consider it an anonymous donation from a kind person..."

The boss gave Shen Mochen a deep look: "No problem. Although it's troublesome, I think I can handle it better. However, I need you to tell me the hospital and the patient's name now."

……

"You're back?" The boss asked, sitting in his office.

"Yes," Lisa said respectfully. Although her legs were sore, she managed to drive Shen Mochen back home.

"A boy kissed by God is only worth 500,000?" The boss laughed heartily, his voice full of pride. "I just asked a friend, and there is indeed such a patient at Roman Royal Hospital. He has a rare disease and is receiving customized medical treatment. His daughter is an esper who immigrated from Yupi and is serving in the Guardian Army."

“This is exactly what I asked about,” Lisa hesitated. “But wouldn’t it be too much to put him back…”

"Hmph, he's like a frightened bird now. Where else can he go but here?" The boss said confidently. "The most important thing now is to gain his trust and cooperation, then he can obediently become our cash cow. He'll definitely come tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and the day after that!"

Lisa nodded; she also felt that Shen Mochen seemed terrified and had no other choice.

"Do you think he really has amnesia?" the boss asked.

Before Lisa could answer, he continued with a laugh, "Whether it's real amnesia or fake amnesia, there's nowhere left for him!"

Meanwhile, back at his residence, Shen Mochen, after bidding farewell to Lisa, found his eyes had lost their youthful naiveté and become profound. (End of Chapter)
