After a night, no one expected that before Chu Qian could even call his son Chu Wennian, Chu Wennian would call home first, asking his parents and Liu Nuoling to come to his dormitory to meet someone, and that he would send someone to pick them up.

This phone call caught Chu Qian off guard. Before he could even speak, Chu Wennian hung up.

Su Jin couldn't calm down, and in the end, Chu Qian asked Liu Nuoling to persuade her.

"Mom, don't worry, I'm mentally prepared and have made the worst-case scenario plan. What you told me yesterday is that women don't necessarily need men to survive. Besides, I have several people supporting me, so I'm not afraid. Dad, Mom, let's go."

From the moment Liu Nuoling heard the news, she knew that the battle that belonged to her alone would have to be fought by her personally.

I dressed myself up and put on my crisply pressed battle robe.

Lu Zhou arrived at Chu Garden and was stunned by the buildings that greeted him.

I never expected there to be such a place not far from downtown Kyoto. There is a section of road that is closed off from downtown to Chuyuan. It is a place that I didn’t even know existed in Kyoto for more than 20 years. Moreover, judging from the buildings, the land from the closed section onwards should all be this area.

If the bureau chief hadn't given him the directions, he would never have found this place. He just tried to turn on his phone, but it was blocked. He couldn't make any contact at all.

Lu Zhou knew that while the Lu family did have a certain status in Kyoto, there were also hidden families at the pinnacle of power, whose lineages had been passed down for at least several hundred years.

After growing up, I vaguely heard some rumors about the Chu family. The members of the Chu family all held important positions and had a very upright character.

I heard that the person mentioned above contributed unimaginable financial and human resources to the establishment of the Chu family in the new China when he participated in the revolution.

The door opened from the inside.

An elderly couple and a middle-aged woman came out.

Lu Zhou stepped forward and said, "Good morning, all three of you. Director Chu asked me to come and pick you up. Please come with me. Director Chu is waiting for you in his dormitory."

Lu Zhou remained neither arrogant nor humble.

He roughly understood why Director Chu had asked him to pick him up and why he had told him about this place.

His family background, his experiences, and his work wouldn't allow him to talk too much; otherwise, his father would be the first to punish him.

Seeing the displeasure on the three men's faces, Lu Zhou thought to himself, "The two older ones look somewhat like Director Chu, and that woman..."

Suddenly, Lu Zhou's eyes lit up. Could the hug from the previous two days be the wife bringing her parents to confront the mistress and assert her dominance?

Thinking of this, Lu Zhou's eyes gleamed with an almost frighteningly gossipy light.

In less than an hour, the car arrived at the family quarters of the government compound.

The officer on duty at the gate saw the familiar license plate and let him through. Lu Zhou opened the car window, threw two packs of cigarettes to the officer, and greeted him with a smile.

The car drove past several multi-story buildings and turned to stop outside the innermost courtyard of a row of two-story buildings.

"The three of you have arrived." Lu Zhou stopped the car and reminded Chu Qian and the other two that they had reached their destination.

The three of them turned to look at the courtyard, took a deep breath, and got out of the car.

The person who heard the noise came out of the house. Chu Qian was fine when he didn't see the person, but when he did, his anger flared up. He looked around for something, but when he didn't see anything, he took off his shoes, grabbed them in his hands, and rushed over.

Everyone except Su Jin was dumbfounded, especially Lu Zhou. What was this all about? Had he really guessed right?
