Lin Yusheng felt like her scalp was being ripped off.

But she still looked at Lu Jing stubbornly, "The Lu family's waters will be muddied whether I'm there or not, it's just a matter of time. As the saying goes, if you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear."

Lu Jing's once kind eyes were now filled with resentment as he slammed Lin Yusheng's head against the car door.

Lin Yusheng fainted.

Lu Zhengye on the other end of the phone was going crazy.

"Lu Jing, what do you want? I promise you, please don't hurt her."

Upon hearing this, the first person to object was Wen Nian, "Brother, that woman treated you like that, don't let yourself be bewitched."

Lu Jing said, "I want you to be unable to appear in court for seven days. If you take the initiative to explain to the outside world within seven days that this matter was fabricated and framed by you, then I can release her immediately so that she can suffer less."

"Not only that, if you do it, I can overlook your older brother's matter, and your father and I will personally go to the Lin family to propose marriage for you."

Lu Zhengye trembled all over, his eyes were bloodshot, and he felt so powerless for the first time.

Lu Zhengye said, "I will consider it. If you hurt her, I will make you pay a much heavier price."

Lu Jing laughed, "I knew it. That girl was being so heartless just to distance herself from you. Look, you two seem to have a great relationship."

"It's none of your business."

Lu Zhengye hung up the phone and then smashed it against the car window in a fit of rage, instantly cracking the window in several places.

Wen Nian looked somewhat helpless. "Brother, are you alright?"

The moment Lu Zhengye looked up, his eyes were filled with ruthlessness. He said calmly, "If anything happens to her, you will be buried with her."

Wen Nian pursed his lips, feeling fear and dread, but he had nothing to say.

This was indeed his responsibility.

Wen Nian's phone was constantly connected with Wei Qing.

Wei Qing, on the other end of the phone, was also afraid of Lu Zhengye's anger, so he didn't dare to breathe too loudly.

After a long while, Lu Zhengye calmed down and regained his composure.

He asked, "Wei Qing, do you have any leads?"

Lu Zhengye had already sent Lu Jing's phone number to Wei Qing in advance, so that Wei Qing could find the signal based on their conversation.

Wei Qing was somewhat troubled. "Boss, there's a jammer. I can only detect a certain area, and there are a total of thirty-seven routes within that area."

"We secretly sent people to investigate."

"yes."

The call ended.

Wen Nian escorted Lu Zhengye back to the Luhu Villa District.

Lu Zhengye used Wen Nian's phone to make a call to his lawyer.

He said, "I won't be in court tomorrow, and you don't need to say anything when you go up there."

Wen Nian slammed on the brakes.

Fortunately, we had already entered the residential area, and there were no cars in front or behind us.

"Brother, no, she lied to you, why do you care whether she lives or dies?"

Lu Zhengye: "If you hadn't made a stupid mistake, how could she have ended up in such a dangerous situation?"

For so many days, Lin Yusheng has not gone out to avoid causing trouble. If it weren't for her desire to maintain a good relationship with Wen Nian, she would never have gone out.

Wen Nian lowered his head and pursed his lips. After a while, he said, "At worst, I'll give my life for her, but brother, you've worked so hard for revenge for so many years, you absolutely can't let it all go to waste."

"I have my own plans."

Wen Nian reluctantly started the car.

Lu Zhengye closed the door as soon as he entered the house.

Wen Nian, who arrived a step later, was unable to enter. His face was covered in wounds as he shouted at Lu Zhengye's retreating figure, "Brother, it's not worth it. She's a monster. The whole thing about rebirth is absurd. Besides, she had ulterior motives from the very beginning when she got close to you. I beg you, you must go to court tomorrow."

"If Lin Yusheng dies, and you care, then give me my life in return."

Lu Zhengye clenched his blood-soaked hand again, veins bulging.

He turned around abruptly, reaching out over the gate railing to grab Wen Nian's collar.

Wen Nian was pulled by the force and slammed into the door.

Lu Zhengye's eyes were full of pain. "I would rather never know the truth. Wen Nian, I treat you as family, but that doesn't mean you can make decisions for me. If there is a next time, you don't need to call me brother anymore."

Wen Nian looked incredulous, then felt very wronged.

"I just don't understand why it was her and not Sister Yan Qi."

Lu Zheng laughed slyly, "You've reminded me that you'd better not let me know that your sister Yan Qi is involved in this, otherwise, she'll be the first one to die."

"Sister Yanqi wouldn't do that."

Lu Zhengye loosened Wen Nian's collar. "I will find out for myself whether it is true or not. As for you, don't show your face in front of me until this matter is resolved."

If Wen Nian hadn't called him "brother," he would be in hell by now.

Wen Nian's nose tingled, and she couldn't help but shed tears. "Brother, you're so heartless to me for a woman, a woman who's using you."

Lu Zhengye was stunned for a moment, and then an overwhelming sense of exhaustion almost overwhelmed him.

"You can leave now."

He walked into the villa alone, his back view utterly lonely.

The courtyard was filled with the fragrance of crabapple blossoms, but today no one opened the door to greet him happily, "You're back?"

Wen Nian watched Lu Zhengye's figure completely disappear from his sight before driving away with a look of disappointment.

The Lu residence.

Xie Yuqiong held Jiang Yanqi's hand and said excitedly, "Xiaoqi, we really owe you a lot this time."

Jiang Yanqi was puzzled. "Madam Lu, I don't quite understand what you mean."

Xie Yuqiong's smile faded slightly; she saw through Jiang Yanqi's thoughts at a glance.

"Xiao Qi, it's okay for smart people to play the fool occasionally. But if you do it too often, it will backfire."

Jiang Yanqi was shocked at first, then lowered her head awkwardly, "Thank you for your guidance, Madam Lu."

Xie Yuqiong was very satisfied. "That's right. I like talking to smart people. Anyway, thank you this time. Without you, we wouldn't have been able to capture Lin Yusheng so quickly and threaten Lu Zhengye."

“Madam Lu has been so good to me, I really can’t bear to see you go to jail. Besides, Ah Ye’s heart has long been bewitched by that vixen. He’s so heartless, so you can’t blame me for being unjust.”

Xie Yuqiong knew perfectly well that Jiang Yanqi was simply someone who would destroy what she couldn't have.

But she wouldn't say it out loud; some relationships need to be maintained with lies, and Jiang Yanqi still had value to her.

"You're right. You've done the Lu family a great favor this time. In the future, we'll guarantee you a meteoric rise in your career in Lucheng."

Jiang Yanqi was thrilled. "Then thank you in advance, Madam Lu."

Having nothing to do today, she originally planned to go and make her presence known to Wen Nian and then stir up some trouble, but she didn't expect to receive an unexpected surprise.

She saw Lin Yusheng enter Wen Nian's house, and then told Xie Yuqiong about it.

That's why Lu Jing was able to arrive so quickly.

Jiang Yanqi picked up her teacup and took a sip, a flash of pain crossing her eyes.

She still loves Ah Ye, but unfortunately, he can no longer see her good qualities.
