Shang Wu didn't respond, but patted him on the shoulder: "It's okay, you can take on any case at the law firm, I don't need you to do too much here."
Lu Rang could tell she was faking it, and lowered his eyes.
"You asked me to help you investigate something; this is what a detective does."
"My men helped you get close to Zhou Yanci's cousin."
"The driver was the one who picked you and your apprentice up."
"The bodyguard made me come to you in the middle of the night to prevent Zhou Yanci from taking advantage of you and ruining your reputation.
Lu Rang slapped Shang Wu's hand away and raised an eyebrow: "I'm a legal consultant who does countless jobs. Miss Shang, you're really afraid of wasting your ten times salary."
Lu Rang's tone was very calm, so much so that Shang Wu couldn't tell whether he was questioning her or teasing her.
Shang Wu thought about it carefully.
"That's true, I've used you too many times lately."
Lu Rang looked at her: "You finally have some conscience..."
Shang Wu interrupted: "But when you helped me, didn't you never refuse?"
Lu Rang was taken aback.
Shang Wu smiled, leaning back in her seat, her beautiful swan neck becoming even more eye-catching.
As an adult, she wasn't unaware of Lu Rang's thoughts.
I don't necessarily like her, but I at least have a good impression of her.
Her fingertips gently touched the back of Lu Rang's hand, seemingly unaware of how ambiguous the gesture was, and even unconsciously caressed Lu Rang's palm.
"Lu Lu, you are the person I trust the most. Please help me."
Lu Rang glanced at her, lowering his eyelids: "A honey trap?"
Feeling guilty, Shang Wu feigned composure: "Are you going to agree or not?"
Lu Rang narrowed his eyes slightly, turned his hand, pinched Shang Wu's restless fingertips, stood up and leaned down to get closer to her.
Shang Wu was caught off guard by his action and froze in her chair, the distance between them barely a hair's breadth.
The hot, humid air and breath intertwined.
Shang Wu's heart trembled slightly, and she dared not move.
She only needed to tilt her head back to kiss Lu Rang's lips.
Lu Rang neither retreated nor advanced, his gaze shifting downwards to stare at Shang Wu's lips: "You think you can get me to do things for you just by talking? That's too easy. Boss Shang, you have to give me some benefits, right?"
Shang Wu sighed softly, reached out her hands, and gently cupped Lu Rang's face.
Lu Rang froze, a clear look of confusion in his eyes.
Before he could react, Shang Wu leaned forward.
Shang Wu pressed her full, red lips against Lu Rang's, kissing him forcefully as if she wanted to leave a mark on his lips.
The next second, she stepped back.
Lu Rang tightened his arms around her, pulling her into his embrace.
Shang Wu stared in astonishment.
She had the upper hand, but she never expected Lu Rang to do this.
She wanted to get away.
Lu Rang gripped the back of her neck, preventing her from retreating, and then kissed the corner of her lips before straightening up.
"I asked you for something in return, so why did you kiss me?"
Shang Wu's breathing became erratic as she stared at him in astonishment: "You were staring at my mouth, wasn't that what you were implying? And if you didn't mean that, why did you kiss me back?"
Lu Rang's eyes turned dark and deep, carrying a hint of hidden emotion: "You delivered yourself to my door, so why not be friendly?"
Shang Wu fell silent, her heart suddenly racing.
She tried her best to remain calm and asked in a very sincere tone, "Then can you promise to help me get close to Zhou Ze'an now?"
Lu Rang glanced at her calmly.
"Um."
It was just a short syllable, but it made Shang Wu breathe a deep sigh of relief.
Perhaps in Lu Rang's eyes, she was just being glib.
But she wasn't saying nice things to flatter Lu Rang.
She truly could only trust this man.
Ah Ying was just a loyal employee; the business owners and their long-time staff only knew what they were good at.
Looking around, all she could see behind her was Lu Rang, who always looked at her with a calm and steady gaze.
He repeatedly found her troublesome, yet repeatedly softened his heart.
She was using Lu Rang, but Lu Rang was also willing to let her use him.
Shang Wu didn't want to think too much about it. Suppressing her unusual heartbeat, she pulled herself together, got up, and handed all the evidence she had prepared to Lu Rang.
"Give these to Zhou Ze'an."
