Chapter 596: Chapter 577
Shen Mochen calmly looked at the unfamiliar traffic outside the car window, playing with his phone in his hand.
As someone who hides in the shadows, he has never ventured out during the day. Roman’s Saint Mary City is one of the most bustling metropolises in the world, but only today could he glimpse its true splendor.
Regarding this suddenly appearing super director, he was surprised but not overly worried. If the other party was part of the group trying to kill him, knowing his location, they could simply make a move.
He thought silently that this Vasiliyevich director might truly have no other purpose; he just wanted to find him to shoot his movie.
Shen Mochen had no interest in movies; in fact, he preferred to stay in the club. Over the past few days, he had gotten to know quite a few of Roman’s elite socialites, not only adding their contact information but also making them infatuated with him.
Of course, Shen Mochen didn’t entirely trust their sweet talk. He didn’t think these women would truly go to great lengths for him, but some trivial favors might come with no pressure.
Originally, he wanted to gradually grasp information about himself through these people, and in fact, he had entrusted one or two of them to investigate the circumstances surrounding his amnesia. Unexpectedly, this Vasiliyevich emerged and insisted on him filming a movie.
Filming a movie should be a public act and could very well attract the killer’s attention. Although this legendary director assured him of his extensive network and ability to keep Shen Mochen safe, and it seemed like he knew the killer’s identity, Shen Mochen wouldn’t entrust his life to anyone.
Unfortunately, he truly had amnesia. But fortunately, he truly had amnesia. Perhaps this could become a safety declaration.
Shen Mochen’s gaze was dreamy as he pondered that Vasiliyevich was currently trustworthy, at least until his movie was finished, he wouldn’t harm him.
But he might not have the ability to protect him; even the world’s greatest director is, after all, just an ordinary person, who may not be able to prevent a hidden attack. Moreover, Shen Mochen wasn’t sure how much the person would be willing to sacrifice to protect him.
Through piecing together information over time, Shen Mochen had roughly understood his background—a direct descendant of the Yupi Country’s Super Family, Shen Family, who had been living outside, recently recognized before his amnesia.
He did not go to the Yupi Country embassy, nor did he seek out Shen Family’s influence in Roman because Shen Mochen couldn’t be sure that there wasn’t someone in the Shen Family who wanted to kill him. Perhaps he wasn’t truly part of the Shen Family at all; maybe the Shen Family coveted his superpower.
The situation remained unclear, and although he had been missing for quite a while, there was still no discussion online, and Shen Mochen even saw news that he had safely returned home after visiting Roman.
At present, the only person Shen Mochen could trust was Xiao Xingshuang. She saved and hid him, perhaps with personal motives, perhaps without knowing the inside story, but without any conspiracy. Yet, Xiao Xingshuang had already disappeared, Ivan lied to him, and she might have already perished...
Besides this, Shen Mochen couldn’t think of anyone else to fully trust, except... Catherine.
Shen Mochen didn’t know who this Catherine was; the name isn’t uncommon in Roman. However, his clients always mention this name with a tone full of wicked amusement, never revealing too much.
According to available information, even if Catherine is not his lover, she must be in a very ambiguous relationship with him, and this girl certainly has a powerful background, at least belonging to the same circle as those clients. Moreover, she should be quite beautiful, otherwise, she wouldn’t evoke their competitive spirit.
If he finds her, could he discover the truth?
Yet, based on existing data, before recognizing with the Shen Family, he was just a poor boy from the slums, relying on his awakened superpower sister to afford school, and his acquaintance with Catherine was far before recognizing with the Shen Family. Perhaps the ones who want him dead are her family.
The best way to let a pauper leave the Princess is to make him disappear forever.
And from the ambiguous and vague words of those socialites, Shen Mochen feels he’s not the only one who thinks this way.
At this point, he can only take it a step at a time and continue to play the role of an innocuous, innocent boy. See who can’t hold back first.
He has superpower, enough to overturn a city. But it seems no one knows if a person with amnesia can still wield their superpower, Shen Mochen just pretends he doesn’t have it. This is his trump card.
"Mr. Vasiliyevich, could I ask you to help me locate a person?" After much deliberation, Shen Mochen spoke.
"Who are you looking for?" Vasiliyevich smiled.
"A girl named Xiao Xingshuang, she should be my compatriot from Yupi, now working with Guardian. She said earlier she would join a special mission but hasn’t returned for a while."
"Okay, I’ll help you find out."
Feeling heavier after receiving this reply from the influential figure, Shen Mochen wondered if they didn’t know about Xiao Xingshuang’s own situation, since they even considered Xiao Xingshuang’s mother.
Either she was already dead, or she was in an extremely dangerous environment.
"Could you take me to my place first? I want to pick up something," Shen Mochen said.
"Of course!"
The luxury car slowly stopped in the old residential area, Shen Mochen put on a mask and sunglasses, quietly heading upstairs. Returning to the small hideout with Xiao Xingshuang, inside remained unchanged, indicating Xiao Xingshuang hadn’t returned.
Shen Mochen took the iron box left by Xiao Xingshuang for him, writing her a note with his social account information.
Christina accompanied Shen Mochen; she curiously eyed the small iron box in his hands, teasingly saying, "Is there treasure inside?"
Shen Mochen quietly opened the iron box, which contained several tens of thousands of yuan left by Xiao Xingshuang for his departure.
"No need to take such a small amount of money with you..." Christina chuckled, suddenly realizing something, "Did Miss Xiao Xingshuang leave this for you?"
Shen Mochen wordlessly nodded, Christina put away her smile.
"It’s okay, I heard Guardians often travel for assignments, she should return soon," Christina consoled.
"Mm." Shen Mochen didn’t wish to argue, simply nodding.
The two returned to the car, Vasiliyevich sent Christina away, then took Shen Mochen back to his residence—a mansion on the outskirts.
"You can rest here for the next two days, the movie will start shooting the day after tomorrow." Vasiliyevich led Shen Mochen to a clean bedroom and kindly pointed to a maid, "You can use anything here freely, if you feel bored, you can roam around the mansion, and for the next two days, this Anna Sergeevna will take care of your daily needs, feel free to tell her anything you need..."
Before he finished, another servant hurriedly approached, bowing respectfully, "Sir, Angelina Alexandrova has arrived."
