Lin Ruan placed the water glass in front of him, lowered her head, and said in a wronged tone, "Attorney Lu, I'm sorry, it's all my fault. The problem in your relationship with Miss Shang is because I let you stay at my place last time, which caused Miss Shang to misunderstand."
Her words seemed to remind Lu Rang, and he frowned sharply, a question suddenly popping into his mind.
He's clearly allergic to alcohol. He got dizzy after just two drinks at the last party. How could he have gotten so drunk that he was unconscious and then woke up in Lin Ruan's apartment?
Moreover, apart from a headache, there was no allergic reaction after waking up.
He looked up at Lin Ruan, his eyes turning cold: "Was there something wrong with the alcohol I drank at the last party? I'm allergic to alcohol, so why didn't I show any allergic symptoms after I got drunk, and why was I able to stay in your apartment all night without any problems?"
Lin Ruan's heart skipped a beat, but she maintained her aggrieved expression.
Her eyes instantly reddened: "Attorney Lu, how could you think of me like that? How could I do such a thing? Last time you drank too much, I was just worried about your safety going home alone, so I let you rest at my place for a while. I stayed on the sofa in the living room the whole time and didn't touch you."
"You didn't touch me?" Lu Rang stared at her, his tone icy. "Then why was I so drunk? I can't even remember how I got from the restaurant to your apartment? If you didn't tamper with anything, we'll go check the security footage from the restaurant and the apartment building right now to see what really happened."
When Lin Ruan heard the words "check the surveillance footage," she panicked even more, but she still tried to remain calm as tears streamed down her face.
“Attorney Lu, you’ve really misunderstood me. The surveillance footage can be reviewed, but I really didn’t do anything. I just thought of you as my boss and wanted to help you. I never expected it would cause you and Ms. Shang so much trouble.”
Seeing her crying and sobbing, Lu Rang felt a surge of irritation and pinched the bridge of his nose: "Stop talking."
He paused for a few seconds, then said firmly, "Within half a month, hand over your work and leave the law firm. Your presence has already caused Shang Wu and me too much unnecessary trouble."
Lin Ruan was both shocked and angry upon hearing this, but dared not show it.
She could only bite her lip and nod sadly, "I understand, Attorney Lu. I will hand over my work as soon as possible. I'm sorry to have troubled you."
After saying that, she turned and walked out of the office. The moment she closed the door, the grievance on her face vanished without a trace, and a fierce glint flashed in her eyes.
She took out her phone, dialed a number, and said in an icy voice, "The plan needs to be sped up. Lu Rang wants me to leave the law firm within half a month. We need to get Shang Wu completely away from Lu Rang before that happens, so we can avenge my cousin!"
A deep voice came from the other end of the phone: "Don't worry, I've made arrangements. We'll make them break ties completely very soon."
Lin Ruan hung up the phone, a cold smile curling at the corner of her lips.
She won't leave so easily. In the next two weeks, she's determined to cause something big so that Lu Rang and Shang Wu will never have a chance to turn back.
