This unwritten family rule continues to this day.

The Lu family members were very supportive because they didn't want to be implicated by criminals. It was also because of this that Lu Zheng seized power from several members of the Lu family more than a year ago.

While Lu Jianhua was still in a daze, he was "invited" out by the police.

This time, Lu Zheng finally saw Chen Yan.

Despite the chilling, indifferent gaze that sent a shiver down Chen Yan's spine, she forced herself to stay awake and said tremblingly, "Lu Zheng, I'm in so much pain..."

She deliberately shook her blood-stained arm.

She shook it a few times, then stopped shaking and stared in shock.

"Lu Zheng, what are you doing!"

At this moment, Lu Zheng held the engagement ring between his fingertips and slowly took it off.

Seeing that the ring was about to slip off her finger, she stopped pretending to be weak, jumped up, and pounced on Lu Zheng's hand.

She had already used her fastest speed, but she was still a step too late.

"Clang—", the expensive engagement ring fell to the ground with a crisp sound. Shen Yan slumped down at Lu Zheng's feet in a disheveled state, almost losing her mind from the shock.

Lu Zheng remained expressionless, his deep eyes devoid of even a trace of Chen Yan's presence. "Since you've already agreed to marry Lu Jianhua's youngest son, our engagement is naturally null and void."

He paused, then said sarcastically, "Congratulations, cousin-in-law."

——

As the sun set, its orange-yellow afterglow fell on Qiao Zhen's face.

Her tightly closed eyes trembled violently, and her delicate face was contorted in pain.

"Lu...Lu Zheng, don't die!"
