As Ran Jie arrived at the foot of the mountain on the outskirts of the city, he looked up and seemed to see the figure who had accompanied him up the mountain a few years ago.
"Tianlei, it's Thursday again. As we agreed, we'll all exercise and go hiking today."
"I do this every week now, but where are you?"
Just as he was about to go up, he suddenly heard a noise behind him. He turned around and saw a group of men in black running towards him and quickly surrounding him.
"Who are you?" These people didn't seem to be just ordinary robbers; they seemed to have come specifically for him, because after the men in black surrounded him, they didn't make any further moves.
Before long, the men in black automatically made way for Lu Shen, who was wearing a black suit, and slowly walked forward.
"Who do we have here? It's the eldest young master of the Lu family. What? Are you looking down on me again?" His feud with the Lu family had a long history.
Moreover, he was well aware that Lu Shen had long been itching to find an opportunity to teach him a lesson.
"You think I really won't do anything to you?" Lu Shen winked at the black-clad bodyguards surrounding Ran Jie, and immediately one of them kicked Ran Jie in the knee.
Losing his balance, Ran Jie uncontrollably knelt on one knee. When he tried to stand up again, two bodyguards immediately appeared behind him and pressed his shoulders down firmly.
Lu Shen slowly walked up to him, looking down at him. "The reason I haven't touched you is not because I, Lu Shen, am afraid of you."
"If it weren't for Lu Jin, do you think you would have been safe and sound until now?"
Ran Jie had to exert a lot of effort to barely lift his head and meet Lu Shen's gaze. "I never needed her pity. It's my bad luck that I ended up in your hands today."
"Do whatever you want! I'm not afraid of you."
Lu Shen looked at the arrogant Ran Jie with a mocking smile. Over the years, Lu Jin had protected Ran Jie so well, standing between them.
So much so that this person had no idea how terrifying he was.
"No wonder people in the entertainment industry give you a nickname, 'Mr. Iron.' Let's see if you truly live up to your name." Lu Shen waved to the men in black around him.
The bodyguards in black gradually approached Ran Jie inside, and just as they were about to attack him, they heard a familiar voice.
"Stop! Stop!" Lu Shen was the fastest runner, rushing to the edge of the black-clad men's encirclement and pushing them aside. "Can't you hear me?"
Lu Shen watched from the front, and without giving any orders, the man in black dared not move an inch.
Lu Jin turned to Lu Jin and pleaded, "Big brother, I beg you, please let him go, okay?"
"Let him go? I let him go once a long time ago, but that time it was only because of you, Xiao Jin. You should know my temper."
Lu Jin knew this, of course, and it was precisely because she knew this that she had to come.
"Lu Jin, who are you trying to impress with this act? I don't need your pity." Ran Jie showed no sympathy whatsoever.
"Cousin, cousin, I..."
Before she could finish speaking, Ran Jie interrupted her, "Shut up, you're not worthy to call me that alongside Tian Lei."
Lu Shen's eyes shot out like knives at Ran Jie opposite him. The man in black immediately understood and struck at Ran Jie, who was kneeling on one knee.
"Stop! Stop! I told you to stop!" Lu Jin tried to rush over to protect Ran Jie, but the bodyguards blocked her way, and she couldn't get in at all.
"Xiao Jin!" Jian Ruoxi and Su Ziyu had just arrived when they saw this scene.
Jian Ruoxi quickly supported Lu Jin, who was about to fall to the ground, and asked, "Are you alright?"
"Ruoxi, I'm fine. But Ran Jie, he..." Lu Jin held Jian Ruoxi's hand tightly, only then could she feel a trace of strength.
Lu Shen never expected Jian Ruoxi to come. Fearing that she might get hurt in the scuffle, he quickly waved his hand to tell the bodyguards to stay away.
This was the first time Ruoxi and he had met since they parted ways. He had secretly watched her several times, but she hadn't noticed.
Seeing that Lu Shen had made such a big fuss, it was all to deal with Ran Jie.
What grudge could there be between Ran Jie and the Lu family?
Seeing that Lu Shen was no longer harming Ran Jie, Lu Jin took advantage of the opportunity to kneel down directly before Ran Jie, "Big brother, please let him go. It was our Lu family that wronged their family."
"If he finds out, he'll blame me."
She didn't want to find out about her family bullying her cousin when Tianlei came back.
"Lu Jin, you've already been more than kind to their family, what more do you want?" Lu Shen was already furious when he said this.
If Jian Ruoxi hadn't been protecting Lu Jin, he probably would have slapped his foolish sister to wake her up right now.
He could allow her to be willful, to pursue whatever she wanted or whoever she liked, but he absolutely could not allow her to lose herself.
"Lu Jin, do you still remember your surname and given name?"
Jian Ruoxi, who had been protecting Lu Jin, was somewhat surprised. During her three years in the Lu family, she had almost never heard Lu Shen speak to her sister so sternly.
"You are the eldest daughter of the Lu family, not their slave!"
Lu Jin struggled to his feet. "But this is what I owe him, what I owe the Lu family. Brother, do you want me to never be able to repay this debt in my lifetime?"
Lu Shen no longer wanted to argue with Lu Jin, "Take the young lady and the others away."
"yes."
The bodyguards tried to be as gentle as possible, afraid of hurting Chen Jin and Jian Ruoxi, but they were not so polite to Su Ziyu.
They recognized the actor; he was the one who played the emperor in the recently popular drama.
The young mistress and their young master are clearly a couple, but this guy has some nerve, he actually dares to walk with the young mistress in person.
Although the bodyguards didn't use much force, Lu Jin couldn't break free no matter what he did.
"Let me go first." Jian Ruoxi realized that the bodyguards behind her meant her no harm, and thought she would try to negotiate with them.
As soon as he finished speaking, the two bodyguards almost instinctively let go.
The young master cares so much about the young mistress, they dare not disobey her.
Jian Ruoxi also found it a bit strange, "Are all Lu Shen's bodyguards this easy to talk to?"
After waiting a while and confirming that they wouldn't restrain her, Jian Ruoxi went to Lu Jin's side and used the same method. The two bodyguards immediately let go.
Lu Shen, sitting opposite him, looked helpless. With Ruoxi here, he couldn't possibly teach any of them a lesson.
His gaze shifted from Ran Jie at the beginning to Su Ziyu who followed behind.
Are Su Ziyu and Ruoxi getting along this well now?
I can't believe I was able to get here with them.
If Ruoxi weren't here, he would definitely have included Su Ziyu in the circle of bodyguards he had just surrounded and taught him a lesson.
