"Shang Wu has signed all the documents and received the check. She has just left the company."
"According to my people, the employees within the group are very resistant to the new president you appointed, but nothing has gone wrong."
"The security personnel downstairs at the company have all been replaced to ensure they are our own people."
Qianjue's voice was flat and emotionless, but his gaze held a hint of inquiry.
Lu Rang grunted in response, his face expressionless, and waved for him to leave.
Qianjue paused, surprised that he didn't react.
He said nothing more and simply turned and left.
After everyone left, the office returned to silence, leaving only Lu Rang alone.
Lu Rang clenched his fist, a hint of confusion in his eyes.
He thought he would feel a sense of pleasure and exhilaration at his revenge.
The woman who betrayed him was finally driven away by him, banished from his world.
But……
No.
The anticipated pleasure did not materialize at all.
A chill ran through his heart the moment Shang Wu agreed to leave.
Outside the window is a bustling dock, its noise never ceasing.
But Lu Rang felt as if he were in a vast white expanse, unable to hear any sound, only feeling an indescribable emptiness and loneliness that almost drowned him.
He loosened his tie in frustration, but still felt short of breath.
Why?
He clearly got the result he wanted.
Why... does my heart feel so empty? It's so empty it's unsettling, so empty it inexplicably stirs up a sense of panic.
He subconsciously looked in the direction of Freya Group.
Now, that woman should no longer be there.
She really left.
He took the money and left.
Lu Rang frowned, trying to grasp at that fleeting, blurry thing, but he couldn't hold onto anything.
All that remained was a hollow echo, and a dull ache as if something vital had been lost…
Lu Rang pressed his hand to his chest, his head beginning to throb slightly.
He turned around and immediately picked up the landline to make a call.
Soon, the psychologist rushed over and was startled when he saw Lu Rang's pale face.
He hurriedly asked, "What's wrong, young master?"
Lu Rang pointed to his temple.
"My head hurts here."
"What's wrong?" The psychologist was startled and quickly examined him, briefly checking his pulse and heart rate.
He exhaled, somewhat puzzled: "There's nothing unusual."
After he finished speaking, he paused for a moment, glancing at the contract for the acquisition of Freya Group on the table.
The psychologist's eyes flickered, and he immediately said, "Young Master, your headaches have been flaring up for over half a month. Do you know why? It's because that despicable woman, Shang Wu, betrayed you!"
"You gave her unconditional and unreserved devotion, and even broke the Yu family's rule of keeping a low profile for the first time by officially announcing your upcoming marriage to her in the entire Lincheng."
"But she doesn't cherish any of your love and devotion at all. She actually went to find other men and had fun behind your back. A woman like that isn't worth your heartache! And yet you've developed headaches because of her..."
As he guided her, he took out painkillers from the first-aid kit, unscrewed the cap, poured out two pills and handed them to Lu Rang, and then brought her a glass of warm water.
"Young master, please drink this quickly. Remember, no matter what happens, she is not worth your pity anymore."
Lu Rang's head was throbbing more and more. He swallowed the medicine as if it were a lifeline and slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'll leave the medicine here. As soon as you feel pain, young master, take the medicine immediately to prevent it from recurring."
"This headache is very unbearable when it strikes, so you must remember not to forget to take your medicine."
Lu Rang nodded, indicating that he would continue resting and signaling for him to leave.
The doctor breathed a sigh of relief, but was stopped by Qianjue as soon as he stepped outside.
Before Qianjue could speak, he interrupted, "The young master's condition is very abnormal right now. You all need to keep a close eye on him and make sure that the woman's matter doesn't upset him. Also, you must make sure he takes his sedatives on time and tell him that they are for treating headaches."
Qianjue nodded slightly.
"Okay, you can go back now."
The psychologist left.
Qianjue walked to the office door and saw Lu Rang already leaning back in his chair, looking weak as he fell asleep.
He then gently closed the office door and turned to leave.
