On the day Lu Huai was discharged from the hospital, Xie Junyang specially arranged for a guard of honor to come to the hospital to celebrate with gongs and drums. He also specially commissioned a banner to thank Lu Huai for his 'life-saving grace'.

Lu Guangxiong and his son were practically grinding their teeth in frustration, but they dared not show any dissatisfaction on their faces. They even had to politely see the group off.

Turning back to the Lu mansion, Lu Huai was about to lash out when the phone rang.

"Congratulations on your recovery and discharge from the hospital. Tonight, my young lady and son-in-law will be hosting a banquet for you at a restaurant in the capital. We would be honored if you would grace us with your presence, Mr. Lu."

Sending someone to the hospital to notify him wasn't enough; now they're calling to remind him again. Are they afraid he won't fall for their trick?!

Lu Huai's face was so gloomy it seemed to drip water, but his tone remained calm and composed.

"Okay, I understand. Please convey my gratitude to Uncle Xie for me, Uncle Wang!"

Seeing his son sit silently on the sofa after hanging up the phone, Lu Guangxiong felt a little uneasy.

Seeing that Xie Junyang was clearly going to punish their family, they had to come up with a way to deal with it, otherwise they would be doomed.

"Son, are you really going tonight?"

hehe--

Lu Huai gave a strange, cold laugh, lightly touched his cheek with the tip of his tongue, and then said in a low voice, "Go, or wouldn't it be a waste of their sincerity if you didn't go?"

As the saying goes, when soldiers come, generals will block them; when water comes, earth will dam it. He wanted to see what was going on behind Xie Junyang's back. No matter how powerful Xie Junyang was, he wouldn't dare to kill him in broad daylight.

As long as he isn't killed, he has a chance to turn things around.

Lu Guangxiong hesitated, wanting to persuade his son not to take the risk, but seeing the situation just now, it seemed that not going was not an option either, and he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

"Don't worry, I won't make you collect my body so soon!" Seeing his father's fear and anxiety, Lu Huai frowned impatiently.

"Well...like father, like son. Of course, Dad believes you!"

Before they knew it, it was evening. Lu Huai arrived at the banquet on time, and Xu Yanshu and Xie Huanyu were also waiting in the private room. The latter's expression was obviously a little serious.

Each of them had their own thoughts, and after some feigned politeness, they took their seats one after another.

Lu Huai picked up his wine glass, looked at Xu Yanshu sitting opposite him, and said with a forced smile, "It's kind of you to go to the hospital to see me before."

"You've treated me to such a grand reception today, I should at least offer you a toast!"

Did Xu Yanshu go to the hospital?

Xie Huanyu glanced at the person beside her in surprise, and frowned imperceptibly.

This person still misunderstands the relationship between her and Ah Huai. His going to the hospital was obviously not out of any good intentions, so what exactly does he want to do?

Xu Yanshu naturally understood that Lu Huai was using this as an excuse to complain to Xie Huanyu. He smiled calmly, took a small sip of his wine, and then slowly spoke.

"You risked your own safety to save Huanyu this time, and as her husband, I naturally want to thank you!"

"However, I can't accept this favor today. If you want to thank someone, thank my father-in-law. He's the one who arranged everything for tonight!"

The implication was that today was Xie Junyang's special day, and he and Xie Huanyu were there as a married couple to entertain him. It would be incredibly foolish for him to try and cause trouble at this time.

Unless he wanted to openly challenge Xie Junyang, a hint of contempt appeared in Xu Yanshu's eyes. If he really had that kind of guts, he wouldn't be here at this moment.

Damn it, they actually brought out that old bastard Xie Junyang to intimidate him!

Lu Huai couldn't help but grit his teeth, his temples throbbing with anger.

Xie Huanyu coldly raised her eyes and glanced at Xu Yanshu, her gaze carrying a clear warning, but she didn't actually say anything. In situations like this, her father had most likely arranged for someone to be watching from the shadows.

Realizing this, Xie Huanyu's mood instantly became depressed, and she secretly clenched her hands under the table.

Seeing that the woman showed no intention of speaking up for him, Lu Huai's expression subtly darkened.

If distancing herself from him is a delaying tactic, then what's with her remaining silent and silent? Does she really intend to return home with Xu Yanshu as husband and wife?

Thump thump thump—

There was a knock on the door of the private room, and Butler Wang walked in from outside, taking a red envelope from his pocket.

"Young Master Lu, this is a gift that the Master specially prepared for you. Please accept it!"

Lu Huai reached out and took the things, intending to put them aside first, but Butler Wang was still watching him.

He instantly understood, took a deep breath, and began to open the envelope. Inside were some photos, clearly showing him torturing women in cages.

Lu Huai's expression suddenly changed. He thought that at most he would only be photographed with the equipment and Tibetan mastiffs, but he didn't expect that he would also be photographed.

Moreover, from this perspective, a simple comparison is all it takes to confirm that the person in the picture is him.

What exactly is inside?

Noticing Lu Huai's gloomy expression, Xie Huanyu unconsciously frowned.

She had a bad feeling ever since her father said he had a big gift for Ah Huai.

So what exactly did Xie Junyang have against Lu Huai? Xu Yanshu couldn't help but wonder.

"This is a small token of our master's appreciation. If Young Master Lu likes it and is satisfied, you can have as much as you want."

While these things are not suitable to be handed over directly to the relevant authorities, they are more than enough to restrain the Lu family.

So there are backups.

His pupils contracted slightly, and the composure he had been putting on instantly crumbled, his face turning ashen.

He belatedly realized that he had underestimated Xie Junyang.

The other party has always regarded him as a thorn in their side, and now that they have finally found his weakness, they are naturally not willing to give up easily for the time being.

Butler Wang spoke up to remind him, "Young Master Lu, you..."

"I... okay, I understand. Thank you for your trouble, Chairman Xie. I will definitely thank you in person later!" Lu Huai barely managed to come to his senses and stammered as he replied.

After offering a few polite words, Butler Wang turned and left the private room.

Seeing that Lu Huai hadn't started eating, Xu Yanshu feigned confusion and asked,

"Why isn't Mr. Lu eating? Is it because these dishes don't suit your taste?"

Is this person never going to stop?

Xie Huanyu couldn't help but glare fiercely at Xu Yanshu, who pretended not to know anything.

Okay, he'll eat it!

Lu Huai almost gritted his teeth to pieces before reluctantly picking up his chopsticks.

"Yes, all these dishes are prepared for you, you should eat more!" Xu Yanshu's tone became increasingly teasing.
