He picked up the water glass and drank it in a few gulps.

He handed it to Shang Wu to see: "They're all gone."

This statement has a rather boastful tone.

Shang Wu chuckled: "So how do you feel now?"

Lu Rang paused for a moment: "I didn't feel anything."

Shang Wu was taken aback.

Aying said that this is a new type of sleep drug, and you will feel sleepy after drinking it.

She originally carried this with her when she was under a lot of stress, in a bad mood, or suffering from insomnia.

She had just arrived at Wanhu Lake and decided to find a way to give it to Lu Rang so he could get some sleep.

Her conversation with Lu Zheng would inevitably involve Lu Rang's brother, and Lu Rang must not overhear it.

Shang Wu frowned in suspicion.

Lu Rang took in her reaction, then suddenly clenched his fist and put it to his lips, yawning.

Shang Wu's eyes lit up: "Are you sleepy?"

Lu Rang nodded slightly: "I don't know why, but I'm suddenly very tired. It's okay, I'll go upstairs with you."

"No need, no need. You rest here for a while. I can go by myself." Without saying a word, Shang Wu pulled over a blanket and draped it over Lu Rang.

Lu Rang paused for a moment, wanting to say something, but suddenly seemed unable to lift his eyelids and fell asleep on the sofa.

Qianjue was taken aback: "What did you feed him?!"

Shang Wu withdrew her tenderness towards Lu Rang, glanced at him indifferently, and stood up.

"It's just something to give him a nap, don't disturb him."

No sooner had he finished speaking than the study door opened.

Shang Wu and Qian Jue looked up at the same time.

Lu Zheng, dressed in pure black home clothes, came out of the study with his hands behind his back. His hair was still meticulously styled, and his face was solemn.

He asked coldly, "What do you want to tell me that Lu Rang can't hear?"

Shang Wu glanced down at Lu Rang.

He was fast asleep and couldn't possibly hear their conversation.

So Shang Wu simply stood there and spoke his mind.

"I'm here to find out the truth. Lu Rang had an older brother, right? They were twins. His brother died. How did he die?"

Lu Zheng abruptly stopped in his tracks as he walked downstairs.

Qianjue was even more incredulous, never expecting her to ask such a direct question.

He clenched his fist and took a step forward, but Lu Zheng waved his hand.

"You may leave."

Shang Wu raised an eyebrow: "Mr. Lu, I know this is a secret of your Yu family, but since Lu Rang and I are together, we should be honest with each other and know each other's past, so I have to understand this matter."

Lu Zheng wasn't angry; he just stared at her expressionlessly: "Then why don't you ask Lu Rang?"

"The psychologist said this is the trigger point for his condition. I don't want to hurt him or cause him any distress. Is that hard to understand?" Shang Wu asked casually.

Lu Zheng narrowed his eyes, watching Shang Wu look up, clearly unsure of herself but trying to appear calm and composed.

Suddenly, her figure overlapped with that of the woman from over a decade ago.

Lu Zheng thought of his wife, who had once stood there confronting him, repeatedly questioning him whether she was a tool he used to control the Yu family business.

He clenched his fists behind his back: "You've got some nerve. Do you know that all the outsiders who heard about the Yu family's secret have sunk to the bottom of Wanhu Lake?"

Lu Zheng spoke casually, but Shang Wu felt a chill run down her spine.

She wasn't sure if the bottom of Wanhu Lake was really littered with corpses, or if Lu Zheng was just trying to scare her.

Shang Wu curled her red lips and looked directly at Lu Zheng: "They all sank to the bottom of the lake? It seems Mr. Lu's boasting is not very sophisticated. Don't you know that corpses in the water eventually float to the surface?"

"Don't you know that tying stones to a corpse can make it sink to the bottom?" Lu Zheng looked at her with interest.

Shang Wu remained unmoved and said indifferently, "Fine, even if I drown, I want to die knowing the truth. Speak up, and then throw me into the lake and let me sink."

She sat down on the sofa, pressing a corner of the blanket over Lu Rang.

The blanket was pulled tighter, and Lu Rang clenched his fists, pressing them against his sides.

Lu Zheng was speechless.

He looked at Qianjue and found that the other person also looked incredulous and annoyed, as if he had never met such an unpredictable person in his life.

Lu Zheng suddenly understood why his son was attracted to a woman with a personality like Shang Wu.

It's certainly interesting, but for those on the side of Shangwu, it's also quite annoying.

Lu Zheng pondered for a moment: "I can tell you, and I won't deal with you after I finish speaking, but I have a condition."

Shang Wu nodded: "Tell me about it."

"You know that you should leave Lu Rang after this. I have already arranged a fiancée for him. She is currently in Wanhu. I will make sure her name appears on the marriage certificate. You want to add a line to the Yu family genealogy? Never."

Lu Zheng looked down at her and asked, "Will you agree?"

Shang Wu pressed down on the sofa armrest.

As expected, this man is capable of managing the Yu family business; he never lets himself suffer a loss.

She pursed her lips, looked up, and said, "I... agree." She could also back out at any time.

Lu Zheng nodded in satisfaction.

"Come with me."

Shang Wu immediately got up, lifted her foot, and followed him upstairs to the study.

After the two went inside and closed the door, Qianjue looked at the man in the corner of the sofa.

"Young master, they've all gone inside, so you don't need to pretend to be asleep anymore."

Lu Rang slowly opened his eyes.
