"I……"
Xia Zhi couldn't answer.
Just then, Hu Liansheng caught up from behind.
"I'm saying, you're just going to abandon me like this? I have this huge gash on my head, and today the stitches are being removed, and you're just going to throw me there like that?"
Xia Zhi panicked, her eyes darting around erratically.
Hu Liansheng still had bandages wrapped around his head, but his speech was already quite clear. He limped to the front of the car, first looking at the luxurious G-Class, then glancing inside.
Wen Jie frowned and immediately raised the glass on You Huan's side.
He made You Huan put on his sunglasses and hat, then got out of the car himself, looking at Hu Liansheng with a hint of mockery and ridicule.
"Xia Zhi, aren't you going to introduce her?" Wen Jie chuckled.
Hu Liansheng also looked at Xia Zhi, "What, you two know each other?"
Xia Zhi hesitated for a long time before slowly speaking, "He...he is Wen Jie, my boyfriend. Wen Jie, this is the person in charge of the Lu's Film City project, Hu..."
"Hu Liansheng?" Wen Jie smiled faintly and extended his hand. "Manager Hu, I've heard so much about you!"
Hu Liansheng glanced at him and shook hands with him somewhat reluctantly.
He knew Xia Zhi had a lawyer boyfriend, but he didn't expect him to be not only handsome but also quite wealthy.
He wondered if this woman had lost her mind. Why would she abandon a boyfriend like that and sleep with him instead?
Just so I can get some money? A house from the Lu family?
That's outrageous, absolutely outrageous!
Hu Liansheng coughed twice and began to adopt the airs of a manager: "Hey, Xiao Wen! I see your car is nice, why don't you give me a ride home? My home is in the South District, not far from here, only... about twenty kilometers away!"
"Ha," Wen Jie sneered, "Manager Hu, have you misunderstood something?"
"What misunderstanding is there?" Hu Liansheng glared, pointing to his head. "Look! Do you know who did this injury to my head?"
Xia Zhi tugged hard at his sleeve!
Wen Jie had already guessed something from these subtle actions, and with the evidence he had collected before, he understood what was going on even more clearly.
"Could it be that my girlfriend did this?"
"Yes! It's her!" Hu Liansheng sneered. "You're her boyfriend, so you have to take responsibility! Ha, I don't need you to pay me back, but you should at least do something, right? Is it so difficult to take me home?"
“It’s not difficult.” Wen Jie smiled, then turned to Xia Zhi, “Since Manager Hu has brought it up, then you should do as he says! I think you should not only send him home, but you should also stay at Manager Hu’s house and take good care of him. That way you can make up for your mistake!”
"you……"
Xia Zhi and Hu Liansheng were both taken aback. In that moment of stunned silence, Wen Jie had already gotten into the car, started the engine, and slammed on the gas pedal.
As he was leaving, he called out to them from his car, "Manager Hu, let Xia Zhi take you home! Don't worry, I'm very generous!"
Hu Liansheng was stunned and looked angrily at Xia Zhi.
I took a taxi to the hospital, and now I have to take another taxi to leave!
"You bitch," he spat fiercely, "ever since I got involved with you, I haven't had a single day of peace!"
"Hu Liansheng!"
Hu Liansheng ignored her and used his mobile app to call a car.
The car arrived quickly, and just as Xia Zhi was about to get in, Hu Liansheng pushed her to the ground.
"Find your own way back!" Hu Liansheng cursed as he slammed the car door shut. "Damn it, you think you can take advantage of me even for a taxi? No way!"

Huo Junyu opened the large envelope, read through the documents from beginning to end, and then smiled with satisfaction.
"These are all evidence of Hu Liansheng and Xia Zhi's conspiracy to sell the land." Huo Junyu placed them in front of Jiang Mianmian. "Do you see if there's anything else you want to add?"
Jiang Mianmian smiled gently and skillfully pulled up several sets of data from the computer.
After kicking Xia Zhi out of the Lu family, she had someone check all the computers Xia Zhi had used, and sure enough, they found useful information.
“They’re not just plotting, they’re already taking action,” Jiang Mianmian said softly. “Hu Liansheng has been in a hurry to find buyers lately, it seems he’s eager to cash out.”
Huo Junyu put his arm around her shoulder and said gently, "When people get anxious, they inevitably lose their rationality. Why don't we take this opportunity to catch him red-handed!"
"Huh?" Jiang Mianmian was taken aback. "How do we catch it?"
"Of course, it'll be during his transaction!" Huo Junyang entered from the doorway, flashing his signature sunny smile. "Little Youzi, you don't need to worry about that, my brother has everything prepared!"
Jiang Mianmian looked at Huo Junyu with a smile in her eyes.
"These kinds of people are insatiable, but they're actually quite easy to deal with." Huo Junyu smirked. "As long as a super buyer appears, he'll definitely take the bait!"
"Are you planning to become this super buyer?"
"That won't do." Huo Junyu laughed. "For something that requires such acting skills, we should definitely bring in veteran actors!"

A few days later, a mysterious force suddenly appeared on the stock market in Yangcheng.
A foreign company called "Xinqing Industry" suddenly appeared and swept the market. Moreover, it repeatedly stated in front of the media that it hoped to invest in Yangcheng and find the best partner.
And they hoped to start with the most profitable sector: real estate.
The crowd immediately began to discuss the matter, with everyone curious about the boss behind "Xinqing" and making many speculations.
Some even believe that they are backed by a large conglomerate.
Some people believe that "Xinqing Industry" will break the monopoly of the four major families in Yangcheng and become the fifth major family.
These past two days, Hu Liansheng has been restless in his office. After much searching and going through several roundabout routes, he finally obtained the phone number of a minor figure at Xinqing Industrial. He called to discuss a potential collaboration, but the other party replied with:
"Many companies want to cooperate with us, so please put yourself on the waiting list."
This rekindled Hu Liansheng's foolish competitive spirit.
There's no reason why he can't do what he sets his mind to.
He spoke softly into the microphone, "Tell your boss, this piece of land of mine is extremely valuable; you won't find it anywhere else in the entire central city!"
"Besides, with the Lu family backing me up, no matter what happens, it won't be traced back to your boss!"
