Chapter 121 Here to Back Her Up

Inside the interrogation room, Shang Wu calmly took her seat.

Before I could even warm up the seat, a barrage of questions came crashing down on me.

"Why were your bodyguards in that village, guarding Zhou Yanci and letting Chenmian torture him?"

"Did you orchestrate all of this by instigating Sleep? She has a mental illness, and you're manipulating her to target Zhou Yanci so you can escape criminal responsibility?"

Shang Wu lowered her eyes and said calmly, "I did not control Chenmian. I sent someone to that place. Chenmian borrowed it. I don't know what she wants to do."

"Are you really unaware? Didn't your bodyguards tip you off? Your people all know about you and Zhou Yanci." The officer narrowed his eyes, expressing his suspicion.

Another officer coughed twice and softened his tone: "Ms. Shang, I know what happened to your Shang family is very sad and pitiful, but you can't order someone to beat him to a pulp without your consent."

"In this way, if you admit to this, you'll be detained for a few months. This will also help explain things to the Zhou family. The Zhou family doesn't agree to a settlement. If they take it to court, you won't just be going to jail for a few months."

Shang Wu pursed her lips and looked up at them.

She knew that these police officers were doing it for her own good.

The facts are clear: it's really unreasonable for her bodyguards to be there guarding Zhou Yanci.

The best course of action now is to admit our mistake.

But she couldn't do that.

The things Zhou Yanci did to her and the merchants deserved to die a thousand times over.

She couldn't confess on her own initiative and even asked the Zhou family for their understanding.

Shang Wu took a deep breath and looked up: "I'm going to hire a lawyer and let the Zhou family sue us, sue us to the bitter end."

After he finished speaking, the two police officers looked helpless.

Before they could say anything, a figure suddenly rushed in from outside the door.

"Shang Wu! You had Chen Mian beat my son to a pulp, do you think I'll let you get away with this? You wish! I'll get you sentenced to eighteen or nineteen years in prison and ruin your future!"

Zhou's mother rushed to the interrogation room and glared at Shang Wu through the glass, her eyes wide with fury.

That look in his eyes, that fierce intensity, made him seem like he wanted to devour Shang Wusheng alive.

Shang Wu curled her lips, rested her chin on her hand, and smiled mockingly: "I understand that Madam Zhou loves her son dearly, but no matter how much you make a fuss, it won't change the fact that Zhou Yanci has become crippled."

She blinked casually, her voice soft: "Maybe... he won't even last six months. You know, prisons are a mixed bag, tsk..."

Shang Wu gave a half-smile.

Seeing the smile that didn't reach her eyes, Zhou's mother instantly understood everything.

She stepped back in astonishment, a look of shock flashing in her eyes: "You, you're going to have someone take care of him in prison?"

"What are you talking about? Officers, please don't misunderstand. No matter how long my reach is, it can't extend into the prison."

Shang Wu explained in a very serious manner.

However, Zhou's mother was pale and stared intently at Shang Wu, already understanding everything.

She was determined to target Zhou Yanci.

Shang Wu has always been like this; he doesn't talk nonsense.

She definitely had that in mind!

Zhou's mother was swaying precariously.

She understood Shang Wu's threat.

Anyone who dares to target her will definitely have a hard time in prison.

But……

Shang Wu did such a thing; she felt sorry for her son, and she hated him!

How could she just stand by and watch Shang Wu run rampant without avenging her son?

Zhou's mother started to have a headache and stood frozen in place, at a loss.

The officer waved his hand: "Alright, we will handle this matter fairly and justly. You can go now!"

Two staff members came in and took Zhou's mother away.

After everyone left, the police officer looked at Shang Wu again, his dignified and solemn gaze carrying a natural sense of oppression.

"Ms. Shang, we'll ask you one last time, do you really not plead guilty?"

Shang Wu curled her red lips and shook her head: "I don't admit it. I'm waiting for my lawyer."

The officer stood up and gave her a deep look.

"Okay, then..."

Before he could finish speaking, a staff member rushed in and whispered a few words to them.

The two men's expressions changed slightly. They looked at Shang Wu with great surprise before turning and leaving.

Unaware of the situation, Shang Wu could only wait quietly.

The interrogation room was extremely quiet.

Her back ached from sitting, so she looked up at the security camera above and then listlessly looked around.

A long time passed.

About an hour later, a staff member rushed in, opened the glass door, and turned to the side.

"Miss Shang, you may leave now."

Shang Wu got up, straightened the wrinkles in her clothes, and walked over.

"Are you just supposed to go home and wait for me to submit evidence and interrogation records, and then be summoned by the court to fight a lawsuit?"

After saying that, the staff member left without saying anything.

Shang Wu looked up in confusion at the person walking ahead, then stopped abruptly.

A man was standing two meters away.

He was wearing the black trench coat that Shang Wu was familiar with; his eyebrows and eyes were handsome and captivating, and his pupils were deep and unfathomable.

“Lu Rang…”

Shang Wu's voice trembled slightly as she quickly walked over.

Fearing she might cause a disturbance, the police officer beside her quickly reminded her, "Ms. Shang, let me introduce you, this is Yu..."

"You've finally come to find me!"

Shang Wu brushed past the people next to her, and under several gazes, she hugged Lu Rang tightly.

The group of people were stunned.

Lu Rang smiled faintly, then pulled Shang Wu into his arms, silently declaring their relationship with a protective and intimate gesture.

He nodded slightly to the group: "Can we go now?"

The group remained in a daze, and nodded subconsciously upon hearing this.

Lu Rang led Shang Wu away.

They had just stepped out the door when they bumped into Zhou's mother.

Zhou's mother glared at them angrily, her eyes filled with disbelief and shock.

"What happened? They let you go?"

Before Shang Wu could speak, Lu Rang had already shielded her behind him, his eyes cold and devoid of warmth.

“She’s not someone you can touch. The case has been dropped, so there’s no need for you to appeal to the court anymore; it’s pointless.”

Zhou's mother froze: "You, who exactly are you, how do you have such great power!"

She shook her head in disbelief: "No, I have solid evidence. Even if you can suppress it, I can expose it to the media and make a big fuss..."

Lu Rang interrupted her coldly, "You don't have that chance. Shen Mian and those bodyguards have confessed that they have severed ties with Shang Wu and that she knew nothing about this matter."

"What?!" Zhou's mother swayed as if she were about to collapse.

Lu Rang ignored her and pulled Shang Wu to the car, opening the door.

Shang Wu sat down and saw Lu Rang walk up to Zhou's mother and whisper a few words to her.

Zhou's mother trembled more and more violently, and she was in a state of extreme fear.

She became increasingly flustered, her face turning deathly pale. She could only watch helplessly as Lu Rang got into the car and, right next to Shang Wu, gave the order.

"drive."

The driver stepped on the gas, and Resax drove off.

The carriage fell silent for a moment; you could hear each other breathing.

Shang Wu gazed quietly at the man before her, unable to articulate her feelings at that moment.

These seven days are spent dealing with Zhou Yanci's matter and assisting Shang Yunshen in quickly familiarizing himself with the company's business.

She didn't have much time or energy to devote to Wanhu or Lu Rang.

But when Shang Wu wanted to sleep in the dead of night, all she could see when she closed her eyes was Lu Rang's face.

The more she thought about it, the more she missed him, and the more worried she became that he was being held captive by Lu Zheng and unable to come out to see her.

Now it turns out she was overthinking it.

Lu Rang would appear whenever she encountered trouble, never absent.

"Have you taken care of things at home?"

Lu Rang seemed not to hear her and suddenly bent down to grab her slender calf.

Shang Wu was slightly taken aback when he placed her leg on his lap.

She was wearing a long trench coat today, with a long dress underneath.

Lu Rang pulled down the partition between the car seats and pushed Shang Wu's long skirt up to her thighs and down to her safety shorts.

Shang Wu took a deep breath, her expression somewhat stiff.

Lu Rang seemed oblivious to her nervousness, and reached his large hand towards the inside of her thigh.

The scorching heat made Shang Wu even more tense. She took Lu Rang's hand, her face slightly flushed.

What are you doing?

Lu Rang had accurately located her wounds and was checking their healing progress.

Does it hurt when I touch you like this?

Shang Wu's mind went blank for a moment, and she bit her lip, glaring at him with embarrassment and shyness.

One can imagine how the driver in the front seat would misunderstand these words.

"It doesn't hurt."

She pushed Lu Rang's hand away: "Don't..."

Lu Rang suddenly looked up, kissed Shang Wu's lips, pulled down her dress, and then grabbed her waist, pulling her into his arms.

Shang Wu's breathing hitched slightly as she sat on him.

Their eyes met, and the longing they felt for each other during that short week was as deep as the ocean.

In this position, she is slightly taller than Lu Rang.

Shang Wu cupped Lu Rang's face in her hands, feeling his defined jawline, and murmured, "You seem to have lost weight."

Lu Rang gently pulled her back into his seat and asked in a hoarse voice, "Did you miss me?"

Shang Wu's lips met his, their breaths mingling and intertwining.

Under the busy traffic lights, they kissed, hugged, and intertwined their fingers inside the car, their hearts gradually growing hot...

The car was parked in front of the store.

It's a villa, quite old, and the interior decoration is extremely sophisticated from the outside, showing that the owners living inside have a grand and composed style.

This was originally a place where merchants lived.

After the business declined, Zhou Yanci bought this villa, but never spoke to Shang Wu.

Shang Wu discovered it by chance while clearing out assets.

A few days ago, the business people were staying in the apartment building in Shangwu. They only moved into the villa after it was cleaned again these past two days.

Shang Wu didn't expect that Lu Rang, who was staying in Wanhu, would know the current address of the Shang family as soon as he came out.

She was stunned for a moment, her breath coming in short gasps, as Lu Rang kissed her lips until they became even fuller.

"Why did you send me here? I still live alone, not with my parents."

She's too busy right now, and her schedule is all over the place. She doesn't want her parents to worry about her health, so it's more convenient for her to live alone.

Lu Rang smiled, still holding her waist: "I know, but I want to visit them."

Speaking of this, his eyes darkened slightly, and his tone was somewhat resentful: "You should give me a proper title by now."

Shang Wu's heart skipped a beat, and she inexplicably thought of what her brother had said.

He said his mother doesn't object to her being with Lu Rang now because she doesn't know if Lu Rang is a member of the Yu family.

"Let's go, I brought a lot of gifts."

Lu Rang carried Shang Wu down and instructed the driver, "Open the trunk."

Shang Wu's eyes flickered, and she grabbed his wrist.

"Wait, now is not the time."

Lu Rang paused, his gaze deepening.
