After dropping the person off at the lobby, Xu Yanshu drove while sorting through the information he had just received.

Wang Wei worked at a place similar to a training farm. He was facing dismissal because he accidentally injured the owner's most beloved Tibetan mastiff. That night, Wang Wei returned home covered in injuries.

Just when Wang Wei was feeling dejected about losing his high-paying job, he received a call from the manager. Not only was he allowed to continue working, but the company also proactively reimbursed Wang Wei's mother's monthly medical expenses of tens of thousands of yuan.

There's no such thing as a free lunch; there's clearly something fishy about this.

Xu Yanshu frowned thoughtfully. It sounded like that place kept a lot of large dogs similar to Tibetan Mastiffs.

He was quite familiar with Kyoto and had never heard of such a place. Moreover, China had explicit regulations prohibiting individuals from raising large dogs on a large scale.

As Xu Yanshu was thinking, a phone call came in.

"Hey, Mr. Xu, I heard that bastard got hit by a car. Has he...?"

Instantly realizing what the other person wanted to say, Xu Yanshu spoke up on his own, "You're going to be disappointed, he's still breathing!"

The person on the other end was silent for a long while, then said through gritted teeth,

"It's true that a scourge can live for a thousand years. If you ask me, there's no need to wait for any more opportunities. Let's just take action now!"

"Calm down, it's not worth ruining yourself for this beast!" Xu Yanshu's tone became noticeably more serious, and after a pause, he added, "It won't be long before we have to wait any longer."

He understood the other person's feelings and he also wanted to deal with Lu Huai as soon as possible to repay his grandmother.

But acting impulsively will only hurt loved ones and please enemies. It was Lu Huai's own doing to cause trouble, and it's really not worth them sacrificing themselves for it.

"Okay, I'll wait for your news!"

After hanging up the phone, Xu Yanshu began to carefully consider when would be the best time to make a move, his fingers unconsciously tapping a rhythm on the steering wheel.

Acting impulsively is not advisable, but we can't keep putting it off either, or something might go wrong. Most importantly, we can't keep holding our breath like this.

On the way, Xu Yanshu stopped by the Xiwai Cemetery, bought two bouquets of flowers, and went to visit his father and grandmother.

“If you were here, you would definitely advise me not to hold it against me, but some things are intolerable, and I will never let the culprit who hurt Grandma get away with it easily.”

My father and grandmother were both kind and gentle people who never had any conflicts with others in their lives, and they were very tolerant of my upbringing.

But in reality, simply enduring it will only embolden the bad guys. Xu Yanshu pursed his lips thoughtfully, his eyes filled with contemplation.

But he is definitely not going to recklessly charge ahead. He will only accumulate more and more bargaining chips, so whether facing Lu Huai or the Xie family father and daughter, he will never easily bow his head again.

After a moment of silence, Xu Yanshu spoke again, his tone more resolute than before.

"But don't worry, I will definitely not get myself involved in this matter."

...

VIP ward

"Huanyu, there's something I need to apologize for!"

An apology? Xie Huanyu was slightly surprised. She looked at the person in front of her with a puzzled expression. "What's wrong?"

“After you finished speaking in the parking lot that day, I asked my dad and found out that he was faking his heart condition!” With his body still wrapped in bandages, Lu Huai looked at Xie Huanyu with apologetic eyes and said, “I really didn’t know he would do something so absurd.”

Ultimately, the whole ordeal stemmed from her discovery that her father had faked being hospitalized.

As the saying goes, the right medicine is the right medicine. If this matter is not explained thoroughly, his relationship with Xie Huanyu will probably never be the same again, and she will no longer sincerely help the Lu family.

"However, please be magnanimous. He did it because he was too worried. My father also regretted his actions afterwards."

When this matter was mentioned, Xie Huanyu's expression inevitably softened; she truly couldn't accept or forgive such deliberate deception.

But thinking about how Uncle Lu didn't blame her at all when Ah Huai was in the car accident, she couldn't help but feel a little soft-hearted. Perhaps he really did make a momentary lapse in judgment in the heat of the moment.

"Alright, let's not dwell on the past. The most important thing for you now is to recover from your injury!" After realizing what had happened, Xie Huanyu waved her hand dismissively.

"Huanyu, you're so kind!"

Lu Huai spoke sincerely, then seemed to suddenly remember something, and nodded seriously, instructing, "But you still need to put on a cold face with my father for now, so that he knows what the consequences will be if he offends Miss Xie."

Xie Huanyu was instantly amused by these words, and the unpleasantness in her heart completely vanished.

She raised her eyes and glared at Lu Huai with feigned anger. How could he be giving her advice when he was her own father?

"Yu Bao, you are the most important person in my life. I will not allow anyone to hurt you, not even my own family." Lu Huai looked steadily at Xie Huanyu and said solemnly.

Unexpectedly, the other party suddenly became so serious, and Xie Huanyu couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable. But when she met the seriousness in the man's eyes, she couldn't help but be moved.

No one is perfect. Perhaps she shouldn't be so demanding of Ah Huai. It's already remarkable that he risked his life to save her in that critical moment.

On the contrary, it seems a bit too hasty for her to deny the friendship they've built over the years over such a trivial matter.

"Ah Huai, I know you're the best to me. I was too impulsive before..."

thump thump thump...

"What are you talking about?" Lu Guangxiong knocked on the door and asked in a light tone.

Xie Huanyu blushed inexplicably at Uncle Lu's sudden appearance and stood up awkwardly.

"Uncle Lu, you stay with Ah Huai for a bit, I'm going out for some fresh air!" Xie Huanyu made up an excuse and strode out of the ward.

Lu Guangxiong stared thoughtfully at the woman's hurried departure, then turned to look at the person lying on the bed.

"Is everything settled?!"

"Isn't it obvious?" Lu Huai shrugged nonchalantly, his tone arrogant, then suddenly seemed to remember something, his tone becoming serious, "But don't mention company matters to her for now, lest you make things worse."

Like father, like daughter. Xie Huanyu is Xie Junyang's child after all, so it's no wonder she's so suspicious.

If he were to rush into demanding business benefits from her right now, it might arouse his suspicion of the Lu family again.

“I understand, I will handle this matter carefully!” Lu Guangxiong nodded knowingly.
