In the quiet tea room, Ye Lingfei looked at the woman opposite with dissatisfaction.

"Why are you the only one here? Let Pei Chengyi come and talk to me."

The teacup was placed heavily on the table. Ye Lingfei didn't want to waste time with Lu Yunxi, so she stood up and was about to leave. Lu Yunxi immediately stopped her.

"Don't worry. My fiancé can't leave right now. Miss Ye knows all about the cooperation. We're not trying to steal the project. As long as you can talk to the Third Master and get him to agree to work with Hongyue Group on this project, we'll help you deal with Lu Anning. I'm just as eager to kill Lu Anning as you are."

The hatred in Lu Yunxi's eyes successfully convinced Ye Lingfei. She was pulled to sit down slowly, feeling a little doubtful.

"Can you do it?"

"She's just relying on the support of the Third Master, but my father has watched her grow up and knows her inside out. If she's having it easy, we'll create some trouble for her first. Don't worry! The old man of the Pei family is very optimistic about this project. If you can help make it happen, wouldn't it be just a matter of his words that will get you into the Pei family?"

Ye Lingfei was silent for a while: "But Jingyuan's temper..."

"No matter how bad the Third Master's temper is, can he really argue with his biological father? If he really didn't want to recognize him, he wouldn't have returned to the Pei family."

Seeing Ye Lingfei wavering, Lu Yunxi eagerly poured more tea for her: "Trust me! When the time comes, you will marry into the Pei family. Auntie, you must take good care of me."

A woman's unbridled laughter could be heard from the tea room. Lu Zhenghao had just hurried in, his eyes filled with excitement. After he entered, the tea room fell silent again.

After a long time, the door opened again, and Ye Lingfei came out first. Lu Zhenghao personally saw her off: "Miss Ye, we will take care of some small matters. You just need to wait and watch the show."

"Okay! Then I'll wait and see."

That day, Ye Lingfei suddenly invited all the colleagues in the project department to have coffee, and also asked Lu Anning about the progress of the project. Lu Anning saw that she was in an abnormally good mood and was a little skeptical.

Could it be that she had an epiphany?

"Everything went well. Thank you Director Ye for your concern."

"It should be. After all, I personally participated in the design, and I also hope that this project can start as soon as possible."

Lu Anning thought Ye Lingfei was going to act up again, but she really just waited for the coffee to be delivered and then left. Staring at her back, Lu Anning felt something was wrong.

Two days later, Lu Anning suddenly received a call. There was a conflict between her people and the people whose houses were being demolished. Somehow the fight started and someone was injured and sent to the hospital.

The situation on the phone was chaotic and Zhong Ling was about to cry.

"Team Leader Lu, this family is difficult to deal with. Nothing I say will help. The remaining families who haven't signed are about to be shaken. I'm afraid you'll have to come here in person."

Lu Anning simply packed up his things and hurried out: "Send me the location, I'll be right there."

Lu Anning rushed to the hospital where Zhong Ling was staying. On the way, she informed Xiang Yang of the situation. She had anticipated that the signing process wouldn't go smoothly, but she hadn't anticipated such a sudden uproar. Normally, since they had already agreed on this, even if they suddenly had second thoughts, it wouldn't have escalated into a brawl that reached the hospital.

What she was worried about was that some people would not want to see the project go smoothly and would try to sabotage it.

At the hospital entrance, Zhong Ling paced back and forth, as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, looking out the door from time to time. When she saw Lu An Ning, light finally appeared in her gray eyes, and she trotted up to greet him.

"Team Leader Lu, you're finally here."

"What's going on? Why is it so serious?"

Zhong Ling couldn't put it into words: "Originally, the Li couple agreed very well, and everyone was very satisfied with the demolition compensation. But who knew that when they were signing the contract today, their only son showed up and refused to let them sign. He talked to the couple for a while, and then the three of them started to quarrel."

Lu Anning frowned: "Who is that person? Why would he do that?"

Speaking of this man, Zhong Ling shook her head. "He's just a scoundrel, a rude and unreasonable scoundrel. As for the fight, he really rushed over and attacked Xiao Wang. Xiao Wang was seriously injured, and I couldn't stop him at all."

After listening to Zhong Ling's brief explanation, Lu Anning roughly understood the situation at the time. The most urgent task was to calm the people's emotions first.

The impact of this incident must not be expanded.

Lu An Ning had already prepared herself to put on a smile. After coming out of the elevator, she and Zhong Ling rushed to the ward without delay. As soon as they opened the door, they saw a group of people staring at them in the crowded ward, some of whom were carrying cameras.

Lu Anning secretly said, "Oh no! Who brought the media reporters here?"

Before she could say anything, a man in his thirties with a crew cut pointed at them and yelled, "Dear journalists, it's them!"

In the blink of an eye, Lu Anning and Zhong Ling were surrounded by reporters, with cameras almost pressed against their faces. Everyone was scrambling to press the shutter button, and the overwhelming questions almost overwhelmed them.

"As the contractor, you engaged in a brawl with the public during the negotiation. Was it because you couldn't agree on the demolition compensation?"

"It's said that this is a major project that the government is optimistic about and will become the mainstream center of Jiangcheng in the future. Do you have anything to say about this incident that resulted in people being injured and hospitalized?"

"Is your company suspected of violent demolition? By forcing people to sign, aren't you afraid of causing public outrage?"

Everyone rushed forward, and no one knew who pushed whom. Zhong Ling screamed and fell to the ground, and someone accidentally stepped on her hand. Even Lu An Ning lost his balance and bumped into the wall.

“That’s enough!”

Lu Anning's face darkened as he roared, his cold gaze sweeping over everyone. "Everyone, please don't forget your identities. Talk with evidence. Violent demolition? Forcing the people? Who's guilty? Then what you did just now, causing injuries to our employees, is that also considered violent reporting?"

The cold voice was resounding and intimidating, instantly stunning everyone.
