It must be said that He Zhang really disguised himself very well; he was a completely different person from the one at the wedding.
As Qiao Zhen watched Lu Zheng's footsteps draw closer, she couldn't help but curl her lips into a smile.
"You have to bear the consequences. If you do something harmful, you have to be prepared to suffer the backlash."
The cycle of cause and effect in the world is predetermined; if a person does too many wrong things, they are destined to have a bad end.
"Shut up!" He was clearly enraged by those words and raised his hand to slap him.
Qiao Zhen nimbly dodged to the side, running right behind Lu Zheng who was rushing over.
"I just called the police, it took a while."
Lu Zheng frowned, turned his head and apologized to Qiao Zhen in a low voice, while coldly meeting He Zhang's gaze.
"You're the gigolo who's keeping her?"
He glanced at Lu Zheng with disdain, as if he thought Lu Zheng was just a pretty face.
"What?" Lu Zheng smiled faintly, but the chill in his eyes reached deep into his heart.
"Nothing much, let's have a fight and see what you're really capable of, you pretty boy." He Zhang smiled contemptuously and reached out to hit Lu Zheng in the face.
His force was so great that it seemed as if the air around his fist was making a sound.
Qiao Zhen couldn't help but frown; he had put all his strength into that punch.
Lu Zheng grabbed the man's arm tightly and yanked him out of the house. At the same time, the security guards who had rushed over from outside the door subdued the other thugs.
In just a few breaths, the situation was completely reversed.
He Zhang, who was pinned down by Lu Zheng, still couldn't figure out where this man got such strong skills.
"Are you fucking on drugs? Otherwise, where would you get all that strength?"
He Zhang spat on the ground in disbelief.
Upon hearing this, Lu Zheng couldn't help but sneer: "Does being stronger than you necessarily mean you rely on underhanded methods?"
There's no one else like this with this kind of thinking.
Relevant personnel arrived quickly and hurriedly took these people away for processing.
Qiao Zhen then came to her senses and quickly went to Lu Zheng's side to ask him how he was doing.
"So you can feel sorry for people too."
Lu Zheng's sudden remark left Qiao Zhen completely bewildered.
"Do I...do I look like someone who doesn't care about others?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Zheng smiled and patted Qiao Zhen's head, then his expression became somewhat serious.
"I'll be holding a meeting later, you can listen in."
Qiao Zhen nodded and went into the meeting room.
This meeting was specifically for the security department.
Lu Zheng clearly had a bad temper and lashed out at the group of security guards.
"I'm paying you 10% more than the industry average just so you'll bring these people into the company?"
Hearing his reprimand, the security guards all lowered their heads, remained silent, and dared not respond.
Lu Zheng grew even angrier: "Speak up, are you all mute?"
Qiao Zhen, who was listening nearby, noticed that one of the security guards looked guilty and didn't seem discouraged by being scolded.
Seeing this, Qiao Zhen stared intently at the security guard. Soon, the security guard noticed her gaze and immediately lowered his head guiltily.
Seeing this, Qiao Zhen narrowed her eyes. Her intuition told her that this security guard was definitely not simple.
Thinking of this, Qiao Zhen slowly walked to Lu Zheng's side, pointed at the security guard, and quietly expressed her suspicions.
Lu Zheng's expression turned serious after hearing this.
After all, without an inside man, it would be really difficult to break in.
Thinking of this, Lu Zheng waved his hand and sent everyone else away, leaving only the security guard behind.
"Tell me, what's the truth of the matter?" Lu Zheng got straight to the point.
The security guard trembled upon hearing this and tried to argue, but he was terrified when he looked up and met Lu Zheng's gaze.
"I...I didn't mean it, Mr. Lu, please forgive me."
The man wept bitterly, causing Lu Zheng to frown involuntarily.
"Okay, then I'll listen to your explanation."
The security guard then said tremblingly, "I have no choice, but I borrowed money from loan sharks before, and now the interest is compounding, and I simply can't pay it back. If I don't help them, those debt collectors will ruin our family!"
Qiao Zhen keenly sensed something was wrong and asked, "So you mean someone is offering you a high price to cooperate with them from the inside?"
Upon hearing this, the man nodded vigorously.
Upon hearing this, Qiao Zhen couldn't help but fall silent.
It seems that Su Ning and He Zhang are not good people, and are not as easy to deal with as she thought.
Last time they caused a scene at a wedding, this time they came directly to the company, so what will happen next time?
Qiao Zhen felt that this matter was like a weed that she couldn't get rid of, but she was helpless to do anything about it.
After all, they only harassed him; it wasn't serious enough to warrant him stepping on a sewing machine.
Upon hearing this, Lu Zheng simply tightened his lips and remained silent.
"Don't be afraid, I will protect you."
Hearing this, Qiao Zhen felt a little calmer. She smiled and said, "Yes, thank you."
The next day, Qiao Zhen's work went quite smoothly, except that a few female colleagues inevitably gossiped about her.
"Hey, you and the CEO are really together?"
In the past, she would hesitate when she heard this question.
But now it seems that Qiao Zhen doesn't want to hesitate anymore.
"Yes, we're together."
Upon hearing this, the surrounding colleagues all wore expressions of schadenfreude, and then asked mysteriously, "So how long have you two been together?"
