Chapter 137 You've also taken a liking to Lin Xi?
After Lin Xi sent the message, Jiang Ran immediately called.
"Xixi, explain yourself clearly, what did Xiao Yang do to you?" Jiang Ran's tone was very agitated.
Lin Xi recounted her experience that day over the phone. Two or three days have passed, but her voice still trembled slightly as she spoke about it again.
Song Xu hugged Lin Xi tightly and whispered comfortingly in her ear, "It's alright, Xi Xi, I'll always be here for you."
Jiang Ran remained silent for a long time on the other end of the phone, seemingly slowly accepting this harsh reality.
"Ranran, are you still there?" After Lin Xi finished speaking, she realized there was no response from Jiang Ran. "Don't you believe what I said?"
“Of course not,” Jiang Ran responded quickly, taking a deep breath. “I’m just too shocked that Xiao Yang would do something like this.”
"Xixi, don't worry, I won't let him out."
"Ranran, what do you want to do?" Lin Xi asked worriedly. "You're going to the police academy, so please don't get involved in this."
Lin Xi didn't want Jiang Ran to make a mistake due to a moment of impulse, as this could affect Jiang Ran's future.
“Xi Xi, don’t worry, I won’t do anything illegal,” Jiang Ran said coldly. “I just want Xiao Yang to get the punishment he deserves.”
Lin Xi didn't know Jiang Ran's family background, but after meeting her older brother Zhou Jingming last time, she could sense that her family was not simple.
“However, I have a question,” Jiang Ran said again, “How did Xiao Yang get in touch with the group that helped him? This kind of thing is illegal. Even if there is money involved, no one would do it, especially since it would involve showing their face.”
"There are also date rape drugs, which can't be bought in legitimate places. Although Xiao Yang has a dark side, he's just a college student, and a college student from a strict family. How could he possibly buy them?"
Lin Xi was stumped by the question. She hadn't thought that far ahead, and in fact, she had been avoiding the question. She looked up at Song Xu and asked, "What do you think?"
Song Xu was next to her and heard everything Jiang Ran said. He thought Jiang Ran was impulsive and thoughtless, but he didn't expect her to be so calm in the face of trouble.
He had considered these points of suspicion as well, and he had already asked Lu Yunzhou to help find the person. "I'm investigating on my end, and the police station is also asking Xiao Yang. I just don't know if he will reveal anything."
“Leave the police station to me,” Jiang Ran said. “You have Song Xu find his accomplices.”
Lin Xi hung up the phone and leaned against Song Xu's chest. "Is someone else trying to harm me?"
Song Xu stroked her long hair, "Don't worry, anyone who wants to harm you will only face certain death."
...
Lu Yunzhou stared coldly at the middle-aged man kneeling at his feet. "Chang Gui, who ordered you to harm Lin Xi?"
This Chang Gui was the middle-aged man who tried to forcibly drag Lin Xi away on the street that day.
He stood very straight, without the slightest fear on his face. "It was arranged by Chairman Lu."
"My dad?" Lu Yunzhou leaned back on the sofa, lit a cigarette, and smoked it one puff after another, silently watching Chang Gui.
“Young Master Lu,” Chang Gui’s knees ached from kneeling. He tried to stand up, but someone stepped on his legs. “You’d better let me go. I have something to report to Chairman Lu.”
Lu Yunzhou laughed. Not bad, it had been a long time since anyone had spoken to him like that. "Are you trying to use my dad to pressure me?"
“I wouldn’t dare,” Chang Gui frowned. “I’m Chairman Lu’s man, Young Master Lu shouldn’t treat me like this.”
“Chairman Lu, Young Master Lu,” Lu Yunzhou muttered, “I don’t care whose people you are. As long as you eat Lu’s food, you have to listen to me, Lu Yunzhou.”
The Lu family will belong to Lu Yunzhou sooner or later. He is in charge of most things now. If it weren't for him, the Lu family wouldn't have grown to its current size in the past few years.
The Lu family used to be involved in underground businesses, doing whatever was profitable. Later, as the country cracked down on these activities, the Lu family gradually transformed and focused most of their energy on legitimate industries.
Lu Yunzhou was quick-witted and showed amazing business talent from a young age. He took over the Lu family company at the age of fifteen and doubled the family's income by the age of eighteen.
Without Lu Yunzhou, the Lu family would not be where it is today.
“Young Master Lu,” Chang Gui sneered, “don’t forget, you only own 20% of the shares in Lu Family Company. Chairman Lu is the largest shareholder.”
Lu Yunzhou sat up straight and kicked the man in the face. "Are you trying to sow discord between me and my dad?"
“With someone like you around, the Lu family will never be alright,” Lu Yunzhou sneered. “Chop him up and feed him to the dogs.”
"Young Master Lu, you can't do this to me," Chang Gui panicked. "I need to see Chairman Lu."
"Want to see my dad? Humph!"
Before Lu Yunzhou could finish speaking, his trusted aide leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Boss, Chairman Lu is here. He's already at the gate."
Lu Yunzhou frowned and raised his chin. "Quickly help Uncle Changgui up. Look how dirty his face is, wipe it clean."
The men worked quickly and efficiently, untying Chang Gui and wiping the shoe prints off his face with a wet wipe.
After all that was done, the door to the room was pushed open, and Lu Zhentao walked in wearing a long-sleeved floral shirt and sunglasses, followed by several bodyguards.
Despite his graying temples, Lu Zhentao still exuded the aura of a gang leader, sporting a large gold watch, a thick gold chain, and four or five gemstone-encrusted rings on his fingers.
Lu Yunzhou's eye twitched. After all these years, he still couldn't accept his father's fashion sense.
"Dad!" He stood up to greet him. "What brings you here?"
Lu Zhentao took off his sunglasses, revealing a face that didn't quite match his temperament. At fifty years old, one could still vaguely see the handsome features he had in his youth.
“I heard you arrested Changgui, so I came to see,” Lu Zhentao said, sitting in the main seat of the sofa. He glanced at Changgui, who was standing, and asked, “What did he do wrong?”
When Chang Gui saw Lu Zhentao arrive, he immediately walked over and knelt in front of him. "Chairman Lu, it was my fault for failing to complete the task. It was the appearance of the young master of the Song family that disrupted our plans."
“Song Xu?” Lu Zhentao touched his big gold watch. “He’s quite infatuated with that little bitch Lin Xi.”
"It's okay, if it doesn't work this time, there will be a next time. I don't believe that little bitch is so tough. She dares to steal my daughter's man. She deserves to die."
“Dad!” Lu Yunzhou said solemnly, “We have had a long-standing relationship with the Song family. What you’re doing is inappropriate.”
"What's inappropriate about it?" Lu Zhentao glared at him. "I haven't even said anything to you yet. Xiao Qi said that you've always been biased towards outsiders and have been taking extra care of that little bitch Lin Xi."
"What, you've taken a liking to her too?"
“Dad, Lin Xi is just a young girl. We don’t need to be so ruthless,” Lu Yunzhou earnestly advised.
His father and sister are truly like father and daughter; they never consider the consequences of their actions, and he has cleaned up their messes countless times over the years.
I really don't know how his father built the company up. It's rare that it wasn't bankrupt when he handed it over to him.
