Chapter 79 Lu Rang has disappeared
Zhou Yanci looked at Shang Wu's bright smile, and although she felt a little strange, she quickly put it out of her mind.
Just like Shang Wu said, this money will belong to the couple sooner or later. What's wrong with giving it to Shang Wu as a token of loyalty before marriage?
Anyway, Shang Wu is now completely devoted to him and has decided to marry him.
Their marriage has already been officially announced, so there's nothing to worry about.
Shang Wu put all the asset certificates into the bag, making it bulge so much that the zipper almost wouldn't close.
Shang Wu zipped the zipper up tightly and gave Zhou Yanci a slight smile.
"Let's go eat. We don't need to see my parents. They should have finished eating and gone to bed by now."
Zhou Yanci had no doubts and left with her.
Once inside the restaurant, Zhou Yanci said, "Awu, look, I've already proven my feelings to you, and you're already at ease. So, can you promise me one thing?"
Upon hearing this, Shang Wu paused, put down her knife and fork, and looked at him.
"Just tell me what it is."
“I have no worries about you, and I know you have always loved me wholeheartedly, but there is one man I really can’t let go of.”
Upon hearing this, Shang Wu narrowed her eyes, already guessing what he wanted to say, and then smiled.
"Then what?"
“Lu Rang, I’m worried about him. I want you to fire him, is that alright?” Zhou Yanci asked intently.
Shang Wu pondered for a moment, then remained silent.
"In the end, I still trust the lawyers at Jinshui Law Firm the most. I've used them for so many years and they've never made a mistake. Besides, Dingfeng is Jinshui's rival. Now that he's joined the company, he'll definitely try to ostracize and target Jinshui."
Zhou Yanci tried her best to persuade him, but the thought of Lu Rang's handsome and well-proportioned appearance made her feel a sense of crisis.
In this world, the only person he fears so much is Lu Rang.
Shang Wu seemed to be thinking about something, then nodded.
“You’re right. Here’s what we’ll do. I’ll arrange it right now. I’ll have Aying bring the contract and fire Lu Rang.”
Zhou Yanci finally showed a relaxed smile.
Then, Shang Wu set a one-minute alarm and placed it face down on the table.
She hadn't eaten more than a few bites when her phone suddenly rang.
Shang Wu picked up the alarm clock, turned it off, and held it to her ear to answer.
Then, she exclaimed in surprise, "What? Okay, I understand!"
Hearing her exclamation, Zhou Yanci almost dropped the knife and fork in her hand.
He saw Shang Wu hang up the phone and asked, puzzled, "Did something happen at the company?"
Shang Wu took a deep breath, looked at him with a wry smile, and said, "I'm afraid I have no way to dismiss Lu Rang."
"Why?" Zhou Yanci's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.
Shang Wu sat down and looked at him with a pitiful and sympathetic gaze.
"If I tell you something, you must hold on and not get angry or lose your temper."
Zhou Yanci had a bad feeling.
"Just tell me, what exactly happened?"
Shang Wu sighed, "I conducted a thorough investigation of all employees and purged those with ulterior motives from the company, but I never expected that the investigation would lead to the legal team."
She bit her lip and forwarded the email from her phone to Zhou Yanci's phone.
"Take a look, see what Lu Wuwei's Jinshui legal team has done to wrong you."
Zhou Yanci looked down and her face instantly turned cold.
He suddenly stood up: "They actually swindled so much money from me in all sorts of ways?"
Shang Wu sighed softly, heartbroken, and said, "You trusted them so much, yet they cheated you like this. This is a hundred million, no small amount. Lu Wuwei is truly ungrateful and has betrayed your trust of so many years."
Zhou Yanci gritted her teeth, unable to utter a single word, her face extremely pale.
Shang Wu looked at him calmly and asked cautiously, "Yan Ci, what are you planning to do now? You must be feeling terrible after something like this happened."
Zhou Yanci's face was icy: "You, you go and contact Lu Rang right now! Tell him to help me with the lawsuit and wipe out the entire Jinshui Law Firm! They dared to do this to me, so don't blame me for destroying Jinshui, those treacherous dogs!"
Shang Wu was surprised for a moment, then hesitated and said, "But you just said that Dingfeng is their rival. Don't you mind entrusting the Jinshui Law Firm's case to them?"
"What do I have to mind?"
Zhou Yanci is currently furious and doesn't care about anything else.
He gave a cold laugh.
"It's precisely because Zhou Yanci's law firm is Jinshui Group's rival that he went to such lengths to help me collect evidence and move to Lu Wuwei. Let's do it this way. Just be careful not to let the news leak out, lest we alert the enemy!"
Shang Wu nodded and sighed, "I never expected something like this to happen. Calm down and have some wine to soothe your nerves."
She pushed the wine in her hand towards Zhou Yanci.
Even after finishing her drink, Zhou Yanci was still irritable and remained sullen for a long time.
Shang Wu comforted him a few more times, then lowered her eyes and told Lu Rang all the news from this side.
...
Lu Rang was reading news reports online when he received the message.
When Shang Wu announced to reporters that she would be getting married in a month, she smiled brightly.
A smile shone through the screen and was reflected in his eyes.
A deep glint flashed in Lu Rang's eyes, and the moment the office door was pushed open, he immediately shut down his computer.
His already indifferent expression suddenly turned icy.
He said, enunciating each word clearly, "If you don't knock next time, I'll have the finance department deduct it from your salary."
Yan Yue withdrew his hand, quickly walked over, and apologized profusely.
"I was wrong, I was wrong, okay? I came here because I have something important to tell you. Do you know that something seems to have happened at Jinshui Law Firm?"
Lu Rang paused slightly.
"I heard someone say that they're deliberately ripping people off for taking the boat," Yan Yue said with a gossipy look on his face.
Lu Rang's expression turned cold as he pushed the text message sent by Shang Wu to her.
Yan Yue bent down and looked, and immediately raised his eyebrows in surprise, tilting his head at Lu Rang.
"I understand now. It was all Shang Wu's doing. She wanted to help us bring down Jinshui, and she really kept her word. That's impressive!"
Lu Rang withdrew his gaze, his face still exuding a hint of coldness.
Yan Yue stared at his expression, her heart tightening: "What's wrong with you? You look strange, like you're very unhappy. Isn't something like this something to be happy about?"
Lu Rang didn't speak, he just pursed his lips.
Yan Yue leaned closer, wanting to find out what was going on, when his little finger accidentally touched the keyboard.
The computer screen suddenly lit up.
He saw the news above, paused, and stared wide-eyed.
"How come she announced her engagement to Zhou Yanci? Is it true? Didn't she tell you?"
Lu Rang lightly touched the keyboard with his slender fingertips, locked the computer again, and glanced back at Yan Yue with a lingering look.
"What's my relationship with her? Why would she tell me such private matters?"
His words were cold.
Yan Yue burst out laughing, a laugh that was rather irritating. He sat down opposite him.
"Why do you look to me like you've fallen for her and are jealous that she married Zhou Yanci?"
Lu Rang didn't speak, but pursed his slightly cool lips, a hint of displeasure in his eyes.
Seeing that he was really unhappy, Yan Yue stopped teasing him and simply tapped the table.
"Don't worry, Miss Shang definitely has her own plans. That man is disgusting, how could she possibly marry him? You're overthinking it."
Lu Rang was still in a bad mood and pondered for a moment before saying, "You'll be helping me with this case these next few days. The task of Jinshui Law Firm is now yours."
"And what about you?" Yan Yue was taken aback. "You can't just quit because you're unhappy, can you?"
Lu Rang gave him a deep look, then lowered his eyes.
"I have more important things to do."
Yan Yue couldn't help but mutter, "Isn't something related to Miss Shang the most important thing to you?"
Zhou Yanci narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze containing a sharp warning.
Yan Yue dared not say anything more and quickly raised his hands in surrender.
"Alright, alright, go take care of your own business, I'll take care of Jinshui!"
After everyone left, Lu Rang sat at the table in silence for a moment, then got up and sorted out all the documents on the table, putting them into the filing cabinet.
He picked up his car keys and office keys, unplugged the power, turned off the lights, then grabbed his coat hanging behind the door, draped it over his arm, and left without looking back.
...
As night fell, Shang Wu took a shower, lay in bed, and picked up her phone.
She had already sent Lu Rang a text message, but when she checked her phone, there was no reply.
Yan Yue, however, said that he would handle the matter personally.
A look of surprise flashed across Shang Wu's eyes.
What is Lu Rang doing? He's clearly her legal advisor and personal lawyer, yet he's not handling this personally and is just dumping it on Yan Yue?
What did he go about?
After thinking for a moment, Shang Wu directly called Lu Rang.
The next second, a notification sound rang out.
The number you dialed is currently switched off.
Shang Wu frowned slightly, lost in thought, and decided to put her phone aside and rest first.
Over the next few days, Yan Yue handled the case at Jinshui Law Firm with great speed and efficiency.
The company is also under Shangwu's control.
Lu Rang never showed up.
On the third day after he disappeared, Shang Wu began to be absent-minded, constantly looking at the calendar and drifting off into thought.
Aying placed a document in front of her, pointed to the contract, and said helplessly, "President Shang, you signed the wrong document."
Shang Wu glanced at the name on the signature page.
"No problem, isn't it Lu Rang?"
Aying looked at her with a hesitant expression.
Shang Wu understood in an instant, a hint of barely perceptible embarrassment showing in her eyes.
She coughed lightly, crossed out Lu Rang's name in the signature area, and signed her own name again.
Shang Wu rubbed his temples and handed her the document.
"I've been too tired lately, so I didn't see clearly."
Aying smiled meaningfully: "I think you're not too tired, you're just thinking about Lawyer Lu, right? Speaking of which, why hasn't he come over for several days?"
Shang Wu shook her head and said casually, "I don't know, it should be nothing serious."
After saying that, she felt a pang in her heart and couldn't help but start speculating.
Could it be that Zhou Yanci, seeing that the others at Dingfeng have already taken over the Jinshui case, still doesn't intend to let Lu Rang go?
