Chapter 256 Lu Junyan and Chu Qingxue are locked in a deadlock

Jiang Ning's eyes widened.

Bai Yichen's handsome face was right in front of me, his crescent-shaped eyebrows and eyes looked like he had just tasted honey, and his smile was exceptionally sweet.

Jiang Ning's chest tightened involuntarily.

She and Bai Yichen had known each other for many years and had also been in an ambiguous relationship for many years.

But this was the first time Bai Yichen had ever pinned her down on the sofa.

“Ah Ning…I want to tell you…”

Bai Yichen's warm breath touched Jiang Ning's ear slowly, "My kidneys aren't weak."

If it weren't for their current posture, Jiang Ning might have laughed out loud when he heard Bai Yichen say that.

However, at this moment, she was too busy listening to the pounding of her heart.

Seeing Jiang Ning's fair face flush red, Bai Yichen felt his mouth go dry.

He has always considered himself a gentleman.

But Jiang Ning was too tempting, and he couldn't bring himself to do nothing.

Jiang Ning held her breath as Bai Yichen cupped her face in his hands.

She should have pushed Bai Yichen away.

But she didn't want to hurt Bai Yichen.

She knew that Bai Yichen liked her.

Bai Yichen is also someone she can love, and she knows that.

However, Jiang Ning has never considered her feelings for Bai Yichen to be love.

Especially now that she's divorced from Lu Junyan, she's not ready to start a new relationship.

Jiang Ning closed his eyes tightly.

She suddenly remembered that just last night, she had also been forced down onto the sofa.

However, that person was not Bai Yichen.

It was Lu Junyan.

Jiang Ning had assumed Bai Yichen would kiss her.

She closed her eyes for a while and then felt Bai Yichen release her.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to force you..."

Bai Yichen took the initiative to apologize, his eyes filled with self-reproach and disappointment.

What he wanted to bring to Jiangning was happiness.

He hoped that Jiang Ning kissed him willingly, rather than being forced.

However, Jiang Ning's expression just now showed that he was unwilling.

Bai Yichen suddenly remembered that Lu Junyan had just forced himself on Jiang Ning last night.

He reached out and pulled Jiang Ning up from the sofa.

The atmosphere between the two became somewhat awkward.

An inappropriate film was playing on the computer screen. Fortunately, Jiang Ning didn't turn on the sound, otherwise it would have been even more embarrassing.

"How do you plan to use this?"

Bai Yichen changed the subject.

"I think……"

Jiang Ning turned her head and whispered a string of words in Bai Yichen's ear.

That evening, Yuan Pei suddenly posted a message on his Weibo account, and deliberately tagged Lu's Group and Chu Qingxue.

Actually, these two mentions are useless, because the person behind the Lu Group account is not Lu Junyan.

Lu Yexiong would not agree to let their Lu Group's official title claim Yuan Peifa's statement.

As for Chu Qingxue, from the moment she went bankrupt, her Weibo was filled with debt collectors.

Yuan Pei sent the message: Sister-in-law, no matter what happens to you, you will always be Brother Lu's most beloved first love.

This statement instantly ignited the enthusiasm of netizens, with many following suit and asking when Lu Junyan would marry Chu Qingxue.

People's focus shifted from Jiang Ning hiring loan sharks to gang rape Chu Qingxue, to who was right and who was wrong in the love triangle between Jiang Ning, Chu Qingxue, and Lu Junyan, to Jiang Ning and Bai Yichen being a perfect match, and finally to Lu Junyan and Chu Qingxue being locked in a deadlock.

Lu's Group.

Lu Junyan sat in his office, closely monitoring the stock price of the Lu Group.

It's rising.

Lu Yexiong was initially very dissatisfied with the online sentiment and planned to hire online trolls to suppress it. However, after Chu Qingxue's incident, netizens arbitrarily packaged Lu Junyan as a deeply affectionate persona. The higher the online calls for Lu Junyan to marry Chu Qingxue, the higher the stock price of the Lu Group rose.

This was an unexpected surprise for Lu Yexiong.

That's why he didn't remove the trending topic.

However, in stark contrast to the excited Lu Yexiong, Lu Junyan stared at his company's K-line chart, his brows furrowing more and more deeply.

The soaring stock price of the Lu Group also caught the attention of two people—

One of them is Ning Junzhe.

The other one is the Joker.

The soaring stock price of the Lu Group attracted a large number of retail investors and venture capitalists.

However, just as the entire internet was waiting for Lu Junyan to announce his wedding with Chu Qingxue, they were suddenly bombshelled—

"Damn! Isn't that Chu Qingxue?"

"What is this? Is it a film she made?"

"Damn it!"

"So she was an AV actress?"

"This is shocking! Mr. Lu's first love was an adult film actress?"

"Saying she was gang-raped...is she actually filming a new movie?"

"Is Mr. Lu trying to create a 'deeply affectionate' persona to deceive us retail investors?"

Overnight, indecent videos of Chu Qingxue were all over the internet, and the internet regulatory authorities couldn't delete them even if they wanted to because the system was infected with a virus.

Originally, Chu Qingxue was lying in the hospital bed with Fan Yali by her side. The two of them were waiting for Lu Junyan to come and propose marriage out of sympathy and responsibility, or perhaps due to pressure from the internet!

Originally, Lu Yexiong was very interested in seeing how high his company's stock could rise!

"What is this thing? I spent money to send you to the US for further studies, and what did you do there?!"

"I'm severing all ties with you! I, Fan Yali, have no daughter like you!"

As the nurse passed by Chu Qingxue's ward, she saw Fan Yali angrily slam the door and run out.

Immediately afterwards, she heard terrible thuds coming from the ward, accompanied by hysterical, agonizing screams.

The Lu Group was in an uproar.

After Chu Qingxue's AV was exposed online, Lu Junyan's previously established image of a deeply affectionate person suffered a backlash, even though this image was not something he wanted to create.

Because Lu Junyan has served as the face of the Lu Group for many years, the ridicule he received directly impacted the Lu Group's stock price.

Stocks that surged before are now plummeting.

Ning Junzhe and Joker, who had been focusing on Lu's Group stock, simultaneously launched a plan to acquire Lu's stock at a low price.

After seeing the stock price plummet, Yang Liyun fainted in her villa and was taken to the hospital by ambulance.

Despite his advanced age, Lu Lifeng is more resilient than Yang Liyun in weathering storms.

He believed that Lu Junyan would not sit idly by and wait for the company to be in such a predicament.

As expected, when the Ning family and Joker's shell company acquired 10% of Lu's Group's shares, Lu Junyan urgently activated the poison pill plan.

A poison pill is a defensive measure a company uses to resist a hostile takeover.

Lu Junyan issued a large number of new shares, allowing other shareholders of the Lu Group to purchase new shares at a low price, instantly diluting the equity of Ning's and Joker's shell companies.

Ultimately, this forced the two wolves that had been eyeing the Lu Group to abandon their acquisition attempt.

In the general manager's office, Lu Junyan was looking through the whitelist.

He asked Xiao Zhang to make this whitelist.

It's called a list, but it actually only contains the name of one company.

The company is registered in country C.

"Mr. Lu, you wanted to see me."

Xiao Zhang walked in with utmost respect.

"Um."

Lu Junyan put down the whitelist and looked up.

The moment their eyes met, Xiao Zhang gasped.

It had been a long time since he had seen Lu Junyan display such a sinister and cold expression.

"I'll give you three days... to investigate someone."

"Who does Mr. Lu want to investigate?"

After Xiao Zhang asked this question, he was met with an unusually long silence from Lu Junyan.

The air in the office felt like it was filled with cement.

Finally, Xiao Zhang heard Lu Junyan speak again, coldly uttering three words:

"Chu Qingxue".
