This wasn't her office where she could make money; it was her stage to attack Zhou Yanci.

Shang Wu reached out, her fingertips tracing the cold wall before landing on the glass door.

Inside, workers were setting up the office area, while Aying supervised the work.

Just as Shang Wu was about to push the door open and go in, her cell phone suddenly rang.

She answered the phone: "Who is this?"

"Miss Shang, please come to the hospital immediately. Your friend has been in a car accident."

Shang Wu was taken aback: "My friend?"

The other person said, "Yes, his name is Lu Rang. You know him, right?"

Shang Wu's breathing hitched slightly, and she turned and quickly went downstairs.

When she rushed to the ward, the doctor and nurses were bandaging Lu Rang, and there was no gap for her to squeeze in.

Shang Wu felt a tightness in her chest as she stood near the door of the ward, her fingertips turning cold.

On her way here, she had already checked the car accident scene reported by the Lincheng reporter.

The Rexroth's door was askew, and the small truck next to it was stuck on the railing, barely managing to fall down.

Reporters at the scene said the small truck skidded while braking, causing a rear-end collision that led to the accident.

Shang Wu, however, keenly sensed something unusual.

She asked someone at the company.

Sure enough, after she left, but before the car accident, Xiao Dong was sent out of the company by Zhou Yanci.

It is now obvious who did this.

"Okay, your left arm is slightly fractured, the rest are just abrasions. You should rest now. The nurse will bring the prescribed medication later. You can be discharged after a period of observation."

The doctor gave a few instructions and then left with his people.

Shang Wu snapped out of her daze and unexpectedly met Lu Rang's gaze.

She pursed her lips and walked over.

"How are you?"

Lu Rang said calmly, "He's not dead, the car is broken."

"I'll buy you a new one."

Shang Wu took out her phone: "Whatever model you want, you can choose."

Lu Rang looked up at her; although she was sitting on the edge of the bed, she had the air of someone in a superior position.

"Don't you have anything else to say to me besides this?"

Shang Wu instinctively pursed her lips.

Lu Rang got into this trouble because he was her legal advisor.

Compensation for the car, medical expenses, or anything else will not change the harm Lu Rang suffered.

Zhou Yanci's intentions are quite obvious.

The intention was to scare Lu Rang away.

If it doesn't work the first time, there might be a next time.

She does need Lu Rang, that's true, but she can't let innocent people get hurt.

Besides, Lu Rang hates trouble the most, and now he's been implicated by her far too much.

After much deliberation, Shang Wu's emotions gradually calmed down.

Her gaze fell on Lu Rang's arm, which was wrapped in gauze. She walked over and took out the contract from her bag.

“Let’s cancel our cooperation, Attorney Lu. You will continue to handle my brother’s case. I will find a suitable legal counsel.”

Lu Rang frowned.

Shang Wu thought he was not satisfied, so she quickly added, "I will buy you a new car. You can have the old one or the new one. Also, the medical expenses and the work you missed can be compensated. Is that okay?"

Her tone was earnest and sincere, as if she would give Lu Rang mountains of gold and silver as long as she could afford it.

Lu Rang did not show the satisfied expression that Shang Wu had expected.

He stared coldly at Shang Wu, even more displeased than before: "Is this your way of handling things?"

Shang Wu didn't understand, "What else can I give you?"

Lu Rang laughed in anger, which was very rare for him.

"You refuse to cooperate at the drop of a hat. Without me, who can be your legal counsel?"

Shang Wu paused for a moment, then subconsciously said, "Nobody's here..."

Lu interrupted her: "What kind of coercion and bribery hasn't happened in the legal profession? Do you think I'd be scared off by such tactics?"

Shang Wu didn't know what to say, so she softened her tone: "Don't yell at me, can't you talk to me properly?"

"I'm not being mean to you, it's just that you're always trying to get rid of me." Lu Rang's face was still cold, but there was a hint of grievance in it.

Shang Wu lowered her eyes and said softly, "I was just afraid of causing you trouble. You were doing so well as a lawyer, and then something happened on your first day as a legal advisor after I lured you in. I feel bad about it."

Lu Rang glanced at her subtly.

"If you feel bad about it, then be my driver and take me to and from get off work for a while."

Shang Wu looked up, taken aback: "Huh?"

"What, are you scared?"

Lu Rang looked into her eyes. "Or do you think that even if you drive for me yourself, Zhou Yanci would be willing to send someone to run me over again?"

Shang Wu was taken aback, her expression complicated: "So you knew it was him who did it."

Before Lu Rang could answer, the ward door was suddenly pushed open.

Zhou Yanci burst in with a worried expression.

"Awu, I heard something happened here. How is Mr. Lu?"
