There was a moment of silence on the phone.
Qianjue thought Shang Wu was greatly discouraged and snorted, "Take it easy. The young master has already done you a great blessing by exonerating the Shang family. Do you really think you can climb the social ladder to the Yu family? Save your breath."
After that, Shang Wu finally spoke: "You mean, Lu Rang is currently in Wanhu?"
"certainly."
"Okay, I understand."
Shang Wu hung up the phone, her beautiful eyes slightly narrowed, lost in thought.
Behind her, Ah Ying hurried over.
Now, Chengzhou is going to advance the business of merchants. Aying is helping Shang Yunshen revitalize the Shang Group and is extremely busy.
She had just taken some time to deal with Xiao Dong's situation.
"Mr. Shang, Xiao Dong has been imprisoned."
Shang Wu nodded slightly: "Have you arranged the treatment for his mother?"
“It’s all arranged.” A-Ying said, then pursed her lips. “If you ask me, we shouldn’t have made any more arrangements for his mother. Now he’s in jail for harboring a fugitive, isn’t that what he brought on himself? He’ll only realize the seriousness of the situation when no one is taking care of his mother.”
Shang Wu pursed her lips: "Forget it, let him go to jail and pay the price he deserves. As for his mother, let's keep an eye on her a little."
Aying nodded: "Okay, by the way, the security system here at Chengzhou was installed by that scumbag back then, should we replace it all?"
Shang Wu curled her lips.
Ever since Zhou Yanci's deeds were exposed, Aying has become too lazy to even call him by name.
Shang Wu said calmly, "Yes, replace them all. Go and make the arrangements. All security guards and bodyguards should be replaced with new people."
She finished arranging things at the company and left directly.
Soon, a new batch of bodyguards arrived.
When Aying was counting heads, she saw a man in the last row corner wearing a mask and asked in confusion, "Why aren't you showing your face?"
The bodyguard next to him explained, "He has burns on his face, so he's been wearing a mask to avoid scaring people."
Before A-Ying could speak, the bodyguard laughed again, revealing a set of healthy white teeth: "Beautiful secretary, please have mercy and let him stay here too. He hasn't been able to find a job since his burns, and if you reject him, he won't even have money for food."
Aying raised an eyebrow, and remembering that these bodyguards were all registered, she simply nodded in agreement.
"Never mind, let him stay."
She closed the list and turned to leave.
After everyone left, the bodyguards all went to report to the security department.
The man wearing a mask and the bodyguard who had just explained things to him walked at the very back, their steps very slow.
Once he was sure the people in front were far enough away and couldn't hear him anymore, the bodyguard breathed a sigh of relief: "Mr. Zhou, I was so scared just now. I thought you were going to be recognized."
Beyond the mask were a pair of narrow, gloomy eyes.
Zhou Yanci narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice, "She probably never imagined that I didn't flee from justice at all, but stayed by her side as her company's bodyguard."
“But Mr. Zhou, Chengzhou has now merged into Shangjia, and the shareholders have redistributed their shares. They are now completely aligned with Shangwu. Even if you manage to sneak in, what can you do?” The bodyguard looked at Zhou Yanci with a puzzled expression.
Zhou Yanci took a deep breath and patted his shoulder: "Acheng, you're overthinking it. I have no intention of taking shares from Shang Wu."
Acheng was stunned: "Then you are..."
"I need to wait for the right moment to make her understand that what I did back then was only out of necessity to secure my position as heir. While I did use her initially, I genuinely loved her, and I'll wait until the necessary moment..."
Zhou Yanci narrowed his eyes: "I want to have her."
Acheng felt that he was no longer normal, but he had been following Zhou Yanci and receiving his salary for ten years, and was loyal to the Zhou family.
He could only say tactfully, "You are a criminal who has fled to avoid punishment. If you show your face, you'll be gone in a second. Even if Shang Wu still likes you and is willing to be with you, you will still go to prison."
"No, once Shang Wu falls in love with me again, she can persuade her family to reconcile with me. At most, she'll only be in jail for two or three years before she gets out."
"I won't stand by and watch her be with Lu Rang."
“That man is just a gigolo. What good is being a lawyer? I can’t let Shang Wu use my assets to marry him and split them with him.”
"Only if Lu Rang can be as unapproachable as the young master of the Yu family will I willingly admit defeat."
After saying this, Zhou Yanci entered the security department without looking back.
...
Dingfeng Law Firm.
When Shang Wu arrived, it had already been officially announced online that the merchant would be engaging in in-depth cooperation with Dingfeng.
With this powerful and influential investor by their side, everyone at Dingfeng was not worried about sales targets and even had extra income; they were all grinning from ear to ear.
All the staff of Dingfeng Law Firm were at the door to greet them.
Shang Wu symbolically greeted them and then dragged Yan Yue out.
"Could you get in touch with Lu Rang, or ask Qian Jue about his current situation?"
Yan Yue was taken aback, then shrugged: "I was sent by Mr. Lu to keep an eye on Lu Rang. Now that my mission is over, I can no longer contact Wanhu."
Shang Wu persuaded, "Give it a try."
Yan Yue said helplessly, "It really won't work, Qianjue won't listen to me."
Shang Wu crossed her arms and raised an eyebrow: "I can't contact Lu Rang right now and I don't know his specific situation. No matter what it takes, you have to help me find out, or you'll have to leave Dingfeng."
"No, this is too much..."
Before Yan Yue could finish his accusation, he suddenly realized something was wrong: "Wait a minute, I'm not working under you, you have no right to fire me."
Shang Wu took out her phone, put it on speakerphone, and called the head of the law firm.
"Fire someone for me."
