"Remember what you said." Shang Wu glanced at her coldly, no longer looking at the disheveled woman, and turned to give Lu Rang a wink.
They walked out of the bedroom together, leaving Li Li, who was limp on the floor, alone in the room.
Once in the study and behind closed door, Lu Rang could no longer suppress his murderous intent.
"I shouldn't have just ruined his reputation in the first place."
His eyes were sinister and terrifying. It was unimaginable what would have happened if Shang Wu hadn't been alert and if Lu You hadn't noticed the signs in time.
"Awu, we can't keep this woman around any longer. She's too dangerous. I have to get rid of her immediately!"
Lu Rang turned around, his tone resolute and unwavering.
He must eradicate any potential threat completely.
"Lu Rang, calm down."
Although Shang Wu was also terrified, she was more clear-headed than Lu Rang at this moment. "Dealing with Li Li now will only alert him. Wang Yun is in the dark, while we are in the light. If we fail this time, he will come up with other ways. We will be unable to guard against him."
She walked to Lu Rang's side, grasped his white-knuckled hand, and said in a steady voice, "Why don't we turn the tables and make Li Li work for us? She's a scaredy-cat right now, and she won't dare disobey us in order to protect herself."
Through her, we can find out Wang Yun's movements and even obtain evidence that he ordered the assault.
Only when we thoroughly expose him and send him to prison can we truly feel at ease.
Looking into Shang Wu's calm eyes, Lu Rang's violent temper subsided slightly.
He knew Shang Wu was right; to nip the problem in the bud, one must eliminate it completely.
But allowing such a treacherous person to continue staying by Shang Wu's side, even if it's just an act, is something he finds hard to tolerate.
“But your safety…” Lu Rang frowned, full of worry.
“I will be extra careful. As for the food, I will have Aying take charge of it herself, or have a nanny we trust handle it. Li Li will no longer be able to touch the core. She only needs to act and spread false information.”
Shang Wu had already thought of a solution. "Besides, aren't you here? You'll protect me and the baby, right?"
Her trusting gaze was like a clear spring, extinguishing the last restlessness in Lu Rang's heart.
He took a deep breath, gripped her hand tightly in return, and finally nodded with difficulty.
"Okay, we'll do it your way, but you have to promise me that you'll never be alone with her under any circumstances, and if anything seems amiss, tell me immediately."
"I promise you," Shang Wu solemnly promised.
After calming Lu Rang down, Shang Wu immediately called Lu You.
The first thing she said when the call connected was, "Sister, thank you."
Lu You on the other end of the phone paused for a moment: "Thank me for what? What's wrong, A-Wu? Is it that Li Li...?"
"Yes." Shang Wu told Lu You everything that had just happened.
Lu You gasped in shock on the other end of the phone, followed by barely suppressed rage.
"That bastard Wang Yun! How dare he! I won't let him get away with this!"
She paused, her tone shifting to one of lingering fear and relief, "Thank goodness you and the baby are alright."
"Why thank me? It was just a lucky accident. It's mainly because you were alert enough. Don't worry, leave the investigation of that Wang guy to me and Cheng Zhou. We'll dig three feet into the ground to find him!"
The next day, before they could take any further steps, there was a knock on the study door.
Aying nervously announced from outside the door, "Sir, Madam, the master has arrived. He looks very unwell and has gone straight upstairs."
Lu Zheng is here? The news spread so fast?
Shang Wu and Lu Rang exchanged a glance. As soon as they opened the study door, they saw Lu Zheng walking over with a stern face and brisk steps.
Cheng Zhou, looking worried, followed behind him.
It was clearly him who notified Lu Zheng.
"Dad, what brings you here?" Lu Rang greeted him.
Lu Zheng ignored him and looked directly at Shang Wu with urgency.
"Awu! Are you alright? How's the baby?"
He received an extremely urgent call from Cheng Zhou, saying that something terrible had happened to Shang Wu and that someone might be trying to harm her and her child. He immediately put aside all his affairs with the Yu family and rushed over without stopping.
"Dad, I'm fine, the baby is doing well, don't worry," Shang Wu quickly reassured him.
Lu Zheng breathed a slight sigh of relief, then his face darkened, and his sharp gaze swept over Lu Rang, filled with undisguised rebuke.
"Lu Rang! How did you take care of A-Wu?! How could you let such a treacherous person infiltrate your circle! And almost... if A-Wu hadn't discovered it herself, the consequences would have been unimaginable! You have disappointed me greatly!"
Lu Rang pursed his lips and quietly clenched his hands at his sides.
It was indeed his oversight that caused this, and he had nothing to say about it.
"Please don't blame Lu Rang." Upon seeing this, Shang Wu immediately stepped forward and explained softly, "No one wanted this to happen. The other party was scheming and disguised it so well that it was impossible to guard against."
Lu had already been very careful with me, and he had always taken meticulous care of me.
Moreover, it was because he personally went to get tested immediately and stayed by our side the whole time to retrieve the results that we were able to discover the problem so quickly.
She looked at Lu Rang with eyes full of trust.
“After what happened, Lu Rang feels more guilty and more frightened than anyone else. Our most important task now is to find the mastermind behind this, not to blame each other. Dad, don’t you agree?”
Lu Zheng's anger subsided considerably, but his eyes still held a hint of shock and rage. He sighed and softened his tone.
“Awu is right, now is not the time to assign blame.”
He pondered for a moment and made a decision: "Here's what we'll do, A-Wu, you'll come back to the Yu family's old house with me right now. The security there is tight, and the servants are all long-time employees. We know them well, so it's absolutely safe. You can come back after things here are completely resolved."
