After the dinner ended, Xie Huanyu finally couldn't hold back and dared to stop Lu Huai as he left the hotel.

"Ah Huai, are you alright?"

Lu Huai forced a smile, "Yu Bao, don't worry, I'm fine. Just remember to take good care of yourself!"

Watching the other person's figure gradually disappear into the distance, Xie Huanyu suddenly felt a tremendous sense of powerlessness.

What are the titles of Miss Xie and CEO of the group? They're all just empty names. She can't even protect the people closest to her.

Upon faintly catching footsteps, Xie Huanyu immediately composed herself, her expression cool and revealing no flaws.

When Xu Yanshu walked up to her, she took the first step into the elevator and closed the door before he could follow.

Xu Yanshu was not surprised by this. Seeing that Lu Huai was being openly harassed and did not have the courage to confront Xie Junyang, she could only blame herself.

No wonder they say old ginger is spicier; I'm sure Lu Huai will never forget this meal he ate today.

Thinking about it, Xu Yanshu curled his lips with interest, thinking that there was no rush, and he would give him a surprise gift later.

The couple returned to the apartment one after the other, and as soon as they got home, Xie Huanyu couldn't wait to start her attack.

Why did you target Lu Huai just now?

She hadn't even noticed Xu Yanshu's despicable nature before.

If it weren't for his fear of his father, he would have made him get off the table the moment the father first opened his mouth.

"Why? Don't you know?!" Xu Yanshu narrowed his eyes dangerously and asked coldly, exuding a chilling aura. "Actually, you know very well that Grandma's death is inextricably linked to Lu Huai!"

"So do you think I'll let her off so easily?"

He never expected Xie Huanyu to question him like this. If he wasn't afraid of alerting the enemy, he would have killed Lu Huai long ago. Did he really expect him to treat Lu Huai with courtesy?

Xie Huanyu was speechless when questioned, and under the man's powerful aura, she unconsciously took a step back.

Ah Huai did indeed owe her something in this matter, but... he didn't need to add fuel to the fire when his father was making things difficult for her, did he?

In the ensuing standoff, Xie Huanyu was the first to give in, turning her face away to the other side.

hehe--

Xu Yanshu chuckled noncommittally, then walked directly past Xie Huanyu into the study, and blatantly locked the door behind him.

He walked to the window and found a number in his communications.

"Hey, the person has been discharged from the hospital, we can start making plans now!"

After finishing the call, Xu Yanshu turned around and sat back down at his desk, turning on his computer to find a new email—

...

To put it another way

Lu Huai returned to the Lu Mansion with unsteady steps. Faced with his father's questioning, he hesitated before telling him everything.

After saying that, he started smoking, his eyes gradually becoming deep as he exhaled the smoke.

Since Xie Junyang didn't hand over the items directly, there's still room for negotiation. The key issue now is how to get the other party to hand over the backup.

"So when exactly did you start doing this stuff? Why didn't I know anything about it?" Lu Guangxiong was almost jumping up and down in anger, but he had to lower his voice, "Do you know that these things are illegal?"

China has been cracking down on this issue for the past few years, and its severity is comparable to that of arms smuggling. Once discovered, the perpetrator will definitely go to jail.

Even if it's just one or two people, they can't escape responsibility. But now he's set up a whole scene. If it gets out, he might spend the rest of his life in jail.

"What's the point of saying all this now?" Lu Huai waved his hand dismissively.

"He's just trying to keep me away from Xie Huanyu. I might as well just give up!"

Even so, he was still unwilling to accept it, even though he could have gotten more benefits and advantages from Xie Huanyu.

But doing so would be too easy on that good-for-nothing Xu Yanshu.

“I’m afraid it’s not that simple,” Xu Yanshu said casually as he walked in from outside, his words carrying an ambiguous meaning. “After all, our grudges haven’t even begun to be settled yet!”

Just as he was racking his brains trying to figure it out, he received an email from Xie Junyang, which belatedly made him understand why Lu Huai was so alarmed, and also clarified the rules of everything.

Seeing that Xie Huanyu wanted to sever ties with the Lu family, Lu Huai planned to stage another self-inflicted injury scheme.

Just then, Wang Wei injured Lu Huai's beloved dog. Fearing that firing him directly would expose the matter, Lu Huai resorted to a "courtesy first, then force" approach, using his mother's high medical expenses as a bargaining chip to make Wang Wei willingly die.

Lu Guangxiong shouted angrily, "What are you doing here? Get out of here!"

"Your son didn't look well just now, and I was worried something might have happened to him, so I came to check on him!" Xu Yanshu said with a forced smile.

Lu Huai suddenly stood up, looking at Xu Yanshu with a sharp gaze.

"Xu Yanshu, what are you so smug about? What do you think you are in the eyes of the Xie family?!"

“I really don’t have anything to be proud of,” Xu Yanshu shrugged nonchalantly, but his face turned extremely gloomy the next second. “But I know your good days are coming to an end.”

Ever since she learned that Lu Huai had provoked her grandmother to death, she had wanted to kill him every moment, but it was not worth it to sacrifice herself for such a piece of trash.

Perhaps he shouldn't have come tonight, but he had been holding this in for too long.

Lu Huai narrowed his eyes dangerously, his tone mocking, "Is that so? If I can't escape, I'll definitely drag you down with me!"

What I hate most in my life is people like Xu Yanshu, who pretend to be upright and honest in public, but in reality, all crows are black.

What's even more ridiculous is that Xie Junyang dislikes him on the one hand, but treats this good-for-nothing like a treasure on the other.

He won't have that chance!

Xu Yanshu glanced at Lu Huai with a cool look, smiled noncommittally, and then resolutely turned and left.

"Son, have you been caught by Xu Yanshu too...?"

"Shut up!" Lu Huai snapped impatiently, then waved his hand. "Go do your own thing, don't get in my way!"

Lu Guangxiong quickly shut up, fearing that delaying even a second would completely enrage his son, and immediately turned and went upstairs.

With Xie Junyang ahead of him and Xu Yanshu still eager to make a move, is he really just going to have to accept defeat?

Anticipating the situation that might unfold, Lu Huai's expression gradually froze, and he couldn't help but grit his teeth.

Giving up is out of the question; the worst that can happen is we all die together! [Today's interactive topic: Share your most memorable scene.]
