"Is this the relaxation method you were talking about?"

Shang Wu looked at the large words "Bungee Jumping" in front of her.

“Yes, when you’re unhappy, doing some extreme sports is very comfortable and stress-relieving. Come and try it with me.” Chen Chunzhi waved to her, his eyes full of expectation.

Shang Wu was silent for a moment, then asked, "Have you considered that I'm afraid of heights, so there's no possibility of me even trying?"

The question left Chen Chunzhi somewhat stunned.

He snapped out of his daze and coughed awkwardly, "Well, since we're already out, let's go eat together! I'll treat you to dinner as an apology."

Shang Wu sighed helplessly, nodded absentmindedly, and did not refuse this eccentric CEO who had a completely different way of thinking from her.

On the way to the restaurant, Shang Wu took out her phone from her bag.

On the phone screen, a text message from Lu Rang appeared; it had been sent two hours earlier.

Shang Wu's heart tightened, and she quickly opened the text message.

The message wasn't sent by Lu Rang, it was sent by Lu Zheng.

Lu Rang's condition relapsed.

Those six short words sent chills down Shang Wu's spine.

A flicker of panic crossed her eyes, and she immediately made a phone call.

The person who answered the phone was Lu Zheng.

He knew what Shang Wu wanted to ask, and said without hesitation, "I'm not lying to you, it's true."

Shang Wu's breathing faltered slightly: "How...how did you get sick again?"

“I’ve been through too much stress lately. The team of experts I hired came all the way from Belgium to Lincheng, and they only arrived tonight.” Lu Zheng’s tone was calm, showing no sign of blaming Shang Wu.

Shang Wu didn't know what to say; her palms were sweating.

Chen Chunzhi, standing beside him, frowned and asked with concern, "Are you alright?"

Shang Wu subconsciously shook her head, signaling him to keep quiet.

Lu Zheng recognized the voice and asked, "Are you with someone else? Don't reveal Lu Rang's condition to anyone else; I don't want the news to get out."

"No, he's just a business partner; he wouldn't talk nonsense," Shang Wu answered instinctively. "What are his symptoms?"

Chen Chunzhi listened from the side, feeling rather uncomfortable.

He pursed his lips, continued to look straight ahead, and pretended not to hear.

Lu Zhengdao: "He is currently in a state of autism. He has been observed by a psychologist, and his behavior has entered the acute phase."

Shang Wu's heart sank.

As expected, the worst outcome still occurred.

It was because of her that Lu Rang worked hard to overcome his psychological trauma and finally recovered his health.

Now, having been re-stimulated, the only person he cares about in his mental world is his own mother and daughter, who are his enemies.

Unbeknownst to her, the merchants used their moral influence to coerce Lu Rang into repeatedly doing favors for them.

If it were her, she would also break down.

Shang Wu truly felt that she was about to collapse.

She felt as if the things the businessmen had done were all coming back to haunt her.

She never gets what she wants, and those who get close to her become unhappy.

The pressure I've been under has never truly eased.

Now, in order for Lu Rang to live a good life, she has to leave the only person who supports her and truly loves her.

Shang Wu felt an indescribable pain in her heart.

Unable to hear her voice, Lu Zheng spoke up: "Shang Wu, I also hope that my son can spend his life with the person he loves, but the current situation is that your presence cannot make him happy, it will only make him suffer and fall ill."

"For the sake of both of you, this time you'll keep your word and not get back together after we break up, okay?"

Shang Wu fell silent for a moment.

How could she possibly refuse?

She would agree without hesitation for Lu Rang's sake.

Shang Wu pinched the bridge of her nose, trying desperately to calm herself down: "Is there any chance that Lu Rang's illness can be cured this time?"

"I don't know yet."

When Lu Zheng mentioned this, his tone became heavy: "Before, at least he had a reason to live, which was to be with you. Now he can no longer live with you without any worries. There is nothing or no one in this world that can make him feel better."

"Let's see what the experts say when they arrive. I'll let you know if there's anything. Don't contact Lu Rang alone. No matter what, I know you genuinely care about him, so I won't completely cut off all contact with him."

Shang Wu hesitated, all her words stuck in her throat, and in the end she could only give a simple "yes".

"Okay, I understand."

After hanging up the phone, she could barely hold it.

Chen Chunzhi had been listening the whole time, and only spoke up at this moment: "You and Lu Rang are really over."

Shang Wu looked at him, and it was obvious that she was in a bad mood.

Chen Chunzhi immediately shut his mouth and said no more.

Upon arriving at the restaurant, Shang Wu was distracted. She barely ate a few bites of food before using her phone to arrange a whole bunch of things.

Chen Chunzhi sat right across from her, but she didn't even have a chance to speak.

After a long pause, he finally managed to squeeze in a question: "Ahem, um... can I ask you something?"

Shang Wu looked up, only then realizing that she had been negligent towards this client. "President Chen, just ask whatever you want. You don't need to be so polite with me."

Chen Chunzhi coughed lightly: "Actually, I just want to know, now that you've broken up with Lu Rang, there's no possibility of going back, right? So, in the future, could you give me a chance to try with you?"

Shang Wu was stunned, wondering if she had misheard.

"Mr. Chen, you're not kidding me, are you?"

Chen Chunzhi twitched his lips, his smile helpless: "Why would I joke with you like this? I know you're unhappy about your breakup. If it weren't for your feelings, you wouldn't be tempting this trouble."
