“Zhou Yanci’s legal team is my rival. If you use me, how are you going to explain this to him?”

Shang Wu turned around and smiled lightly: "I have plenty of ways to make him agree. As long as Attorney Lu dares to come, I won't let you suffer any injustice."

Lu Rang raised an eyebrow: "Goodbye and don't bother coming back."

Shang Wu: "..."

She opened the door and left, her eyes dim.

Well, I knew I'd run into a wall.

However, if the other party agreed so easily, he wouldn't be the lawyer Lu she remembered.

Shang Wu drove away.

That evening, influenced by significant public opinion, many people flocked to the official website of Chengzhou Group's jewelry division to express various opinions.

These people had differing opinions. Some strongly supported Shang Wu continuing her work as Freya's designer, while others wanted Shang Wu to start her own business. They were fighting fiercely behind the scenes.

After Zhou Yanci's statement, he had no choice but to announce the temporary closure of the jewelry department. As for Shangwu's future, he would announce it in two days.

After Shang Wu returned home, she still hadn't received any news about Zhou Yanci establishing a branch.

She slowly picked up her phone and made a call to Xiao Dong.

Where is Ji Yu?

"She's been locked up by President Zhou. We're preparing to sue her and make her compensate the jewelry department for the losses she suffered. Otherwise, it won't be fair to the shareholders."

Zhou Yanci didn't intend to hide these things from Shang Wu.

Xiao Dong would say anything he felt he could say.

Shang Wu understood: "Okay, where are those words now?"

Xiao Dong said, "They're still in a meeting."

"Then bring Ji Yu here. I have something to say to her." Shang Wu yawned casually.

Xiao Dong hesitated: "Well, I need to ask President Zhou for instructions."

"Go ahead, I'll wait. Give me a definite answer in five minutes."

Shang Wu's gaze grew cold.

Five minutes later, Xiao Dong sent someone to bring Ji Yu over.

Shang Wu knew without guessing that Zhou Yanci must have threatened Ji Yu during those five minutes, telling her not to say anything she shouldn't.

While waiting, she searched for Lu Rang's phone number, wanting to add him on WeChat.

To her surprise, a search of the phone number revealed that the other party was already her friend.

Shang Wu raised an eyebrow.

The black profile picture looks so familiar.

She opened the chat window and was caught off guard by four words.

"Happy birthday."

Shang Wu was stunned.

It turns out that this WeChat account belongs to Lu Rang.

Their conversation was still stuck on her question about who the other person was.

Shang Wu suddenly remembered that she had exchanged contact information with Lu Rang once, so that she could send messages and transfer files when it was inconvenient to make a phone call.

She patted her forehead, inwardly criticizing her own memory, and carefully considered what to send.

[Attorney Lu, I sincerely invite you to join my team. Don't worry, with me here, Chengzhou won't make things difficult for you. How about we discuss this in detail tomorrow?]

Two minutes later, Lu Rang did not reply.

Shang Wu clicked her tongue and sent another message.

[Attorney Lu, see you tomorrow. Want me to bring you an iced Americano for breakfast?]

It still disappeared without a trace.

Shang Wu took a deep breath.

It doesn't matter.

She was too impatient; she needed to give him at least one night.

Shang Wu placed her phone face down on the table, and then there was a commotion outside.

Two bodyguards brought Ji Yu in and shoved her in front of Shang Wu.

Shang Wu glanced at them.

"Go out, and don't forget to close the door."

After saying that, the two looked at each other.

"We need to stay here and guard you in case this crazy woman hurts you. This is Mr. Zhou's instruction."

Both of them spoke with a firm insistence.

Shang Wu's gaze darkened.

It seems Zhou Yanci is worried, afraid that Ji Yu might say something she shouldn't.

This means that when I meet Ji Yu today, I can't say anything or ask anything about the business.

Shang Wu's mood instantly soured.

She leaned back on the sofa, looking at Ji Yu coldly.

Ji Yu also stared intently at her, her face dull and lifeless, like tree bark exposed to the wind and sun.

She sneered, "Shang Wu, don't think I don't know."

Shang Wu said casually, "What do you know?"

"You arranged all of this!" Ji Yu shouted.

Both bodyguards looked up at Shang Wu at the same time.

Under surveillance, Shang Wu slowly sat up straight, looking at Ji Yu's exhausted state.

She looked helpless.

“The jewelry department is my life’s work. Why would I arrange something like this? I’ve already fallen out with Qiu Ting. He fled to avoid punishment, but now he’s famous worldwide for bravely exposing your actions. He’s the real mastermind behind it all!”

Ji Yu sneered repeatedly: "I heard you say that Qiu Ting is most loyal to you, that he would betray you?"

Shang Wu narrowed his eyes, stood up, and walked up to her.

Ji Yu instinctively tried to back away, but Shang Wu grabbed her by the neck.

She was stunned when she met Shang Wu's beautiful but murderous eyes.

The two bodyguards were also stunned for a moment before they immediately held Ji Yu down to prevent her from moving.

Shang Wu's fingers snapped together, and she used the force she intended to strangle Ji Yu.
