It's a liquor store.
The moment Shang Wu got off the bus, she suddenly stopped.
It's like suddenly catching a ray of sunlight in the fog, and everything becomes clear.
Wine shop.
Tang Xueli once said that someone from the Yu family owned a large liquor store in Lincheng.
Anhui Lake.
Lu Rang managed to bring her into the Wanhu area several times, and could even solve the problem of the patrolling bodyguards with a single sentence.
That medal, which resembles a brooch.
As soon as Lu Rang took it out, Zhou Ze'an obediently cooperated with them.
There are also connections with the head of the Inspectorate.
And, the marriage certificate I saw last night.
Before the page that Lu Rang left blank for her, the familiar name she saw was Yu Ruyun.
The Yu family's top beauty almost made her the daughter of a movie star.
A chill ran up from the soles of my feet.
Shang Wu pressed against the car door, utterly bewildered.
He is a member of the Yu family.
Lu Rang is actually from the Yu family.
"Miss Shang, what are you doing? Why aren't you getting out of the car?"
Qianjue urged.
Shang Wu bit her lip, unable to remain calm.
She only just realized it now.
How come I only realized this now...
Shang Wu's hands trembled. He tried to calm himself down and walked into the wine shop.
Qianjue led her inside, through the dazzling array of wine cabinets, to the second floor.
The stairs and corridors were covered with thick Persian carpets, so light that they made no sound when you stepped on them.
Shang Wu felt as if he were walking on clouds.
She followed closely in Qianjue's footsteps, trying her best to stay alert and not appear too weak in terms of presence.
Even so, the weight of the Yu family's reputation still made Shang Wu nervous.
Until they arrived at a lounge with a crystal glass door.
Qianjue pushed open the door: "Sir, the person has arrived."
After saying that, he stepped aside to let Shang Wu in.
Shang Wu composed herself, straightened her back, and stepped into the lounge.
The lounge was dimly lit, and the mahogany furniture gleamed with a somber light.
The air was filled with the mellow aroma of aged wine, and a middle-aged man sat on a mahogany chair.
He has well-defined and handsome features, and it's clear that he was a very handsome man when he was young.
He didn't look up, watching the waiter pour him wine.
Shang Wu could see that the waiter was enveloped by the man's invisible pressure, his hands were trembling, his breathing was shallow, and his face was flushed red, for fear of disturbing the man.
She just watched, and she felt like she couldn't breathe.
Shang Wu took a deep breath, walked over, and sat down opposite the man.
"Mr. Lu, what would you like to talk to me about?"
Lu Zheng ignored him, put away his wine glass, waved his hand, and signaled the waiter to leave.
After everyone left, he finally looked up and carefully examined Shang Wu.
Shang Wu's body tensed up, feeling that his gaze was dangerous, like two thunderbolts hanging overhead, ready to strike at any moment.
Lu Zheng's eyes were veiled with a sharp scrutiny, but then softened in an instant: "I know why Lu Rang is interested in you. You do have that kind of charisma."
Shang Wu remained calm: "Thank you for the compliment. Can we get down to business, sir?"
Lu Zheng's gaze froze, and he slowly said, "You should know why I'm here with you today. I heard that the Shang family case has been resolved. The original chain of evidence has been overturned, and with the testimony of the witnesses who presented the evidence, the Shang family is now clean and can make a comeback."
He glanced at Shang Wu: "My son, Lu Rang, has nothing left for you to exploit. Since that's the case, you should break off all ties with him."
"use?"
Shang Wu smiled and calmly said, "I think you're wrong. I didn't take advantage of him. Putting aside personal feelings, I paid his commission fee and gave him ten times his salary as my legal counsel. We have a legitimate business relationship. As his client, it's only right that he does his best to help me overturn the case."
Lu Zhengdao: "The connections he used have exceeded the scope of his abilities as a lawyer. You're good at disclaiming responsibility, but you used the Yu family's connections and resources and still have the audacity to say it's only right and proper?"
Shang Wu curled her lips slightly: "I never knew Lu Rang was a member of the Yu family, and I never asked him to do anything. Before, in my eyes, he was at most a rich young master from some family. I didn't know what kind of background he had or how to use him."
Lu Zheng narrowed his eyes: "Eloquent tongue! I don't want to hear your sophistry. Tell me, do you still want Zhou Yanci to be ruined and sent to jail in three days?"
Shang Wu was not at all surprised that he would bring this up.
The reason Qianjue kidnapped Zhou Yanci was simply to force her to compromise.
“I want Zhou Yanci to go to jail, die, or be disgraced, but I don’t need to make a fuss about the banquet three days later. As long as the evidence is released, he will still be hated by everyone. Even if he disappears, he will still be wanted and arrested.”
Shang Wu shrugged and said indifferently, "It's only a matter of time before he goes to jail. If you insist on getting involved and protecting criminals, then just keep him hidden. The Yu family has always been upright and doesn't get involved in other people's business. If our reputation is damaged because of this, it's none of my business."
"What about your brother? What about the Shang family?" Lu Zheng leaned back in his chair, maintaining his superior position of control. "You don't care about your brother's prison record or the Shang family's chance to make a comeback? Everyone in Lincheng is eager to join the Yu family. If I just say 'Don't do business with the Shang family,' will you still be able to squeeze into high society?"
Shang Wu clenched her fists, her gaze suddenly turning icy.
When her family was mentioned, her nervousness vanished, leaving only her instinctive reaction to protect them.
She scoffed, "These are all material things. As long as my brother comes out, our whole family will be together. It doesn't matter whether the Shang Group is rebuilt or not. I don't care about high society, unless..."
Shang Wu's eyes narrowed slightly as she looked directly at Lu Zheng: "Sir, you're going to do those shady things that will harm my family."
Lu Zheng said unhurriedly, "Okay, fine, you don't care about any of this. Then let's talk about Lu Rang. He has resigned now. I can make sure he can't go back to the Yu family and can't find a job. The young master of the Yu family has been reduced to an unemployed bum. Do you think he can bear this humiliation? Your relationship doesn't seem that deep. Are you sure you can support him for the rest of his life, or is he really willing to accept being a kept man for the rest of his life?"
Shang Wu wanted to laugh when she heard this, and her face became even more radiant.
She slowly got up and straightened the wrinkles in her clothes.
“You wouldn’t do that. If this could threaten Lu Rang, you would have used it to threaten him back long ago. You wouldn’t wait until now to use it to blackmail me.”
Lu Zheng paused, his composed demeanor slightly diminishing.
Thus far, in the ten-minute conversation, he has not gained the upper hand.
Shang Wufeng said calmly, "Sir, I'll head back now."
She took two steps and then heard a sound behind her.
"Shang Wu, you two will break up."
Shang Wu paused, then walked out without looking back.
