"I'm here to pick up Miss Zhou. What, Mr. Gu called the police to arrest someone for his own selfish reasons, and now that Miss Zhou's innocence has been proven, you won't let me take her away?" Lu Jia looked at the man in front of her with a forced smile, and couldn't help but wonder if Shen Zhi Qiu was only interested in the man's appearance.
"Where is Shen Zhi Qiu?" Gu Qing Yan looked behind him to make sure he was the only one there.
"Isn't it obvious? Zhi Qiu doesn't want to see you. Mr. Gu, why are you so persistent?" Lu Jia curled his lips and said sarcastically.
Gu Qingyan's expression changed, and she said coldly, "This is a matter between my husband and me. What does it have to do with you?"
Lu Jiaman glanced at him casually, a mocking smile playing on her lips, and said indifferently, "I can tell you clearly that Zhi Qiu doesn't want to see you, and she looks down on Mr. Gu's despicable behavior. Besides, if I remember correctly, Zhi Qiu has asked you for a divorce, but Mr. Gu is unwilling to face reality."
"I'll ask you one more time, where is Shen Zhi Qiu?" Gu Qingyan asked aggressively, his face grim.
"I won't tell you. Zhi Qiu said she doesn't want to have anything to do with you anymore." Lu Jia shrugged, indifferent. He wasn't in Nancheng, so he didn't need to be afraid of him.
"Zhi Qiu is carrying my child, how can she say it has nothing to do with me! My tolerance has its limits, does she think she can raise two children on her own?" Gu Qingyan sneered.
Lu Jia frowned slightly and smiled mockingly, "President Gu, you take yourself too seriously! What? Are you saying there aren't any other rich men in the world besides you? Besides, Zhi Qiu can rely on herself." Remembering Zhi Qiu's words, Lu Jia changed the subject, "If all else fails, there's still me. Zhi Qiu's child is my family."
"Your family?" Gu Qingyan grabbed Lu Jia by the collar. "What gives you the right to answer me on behalf of Zhi Qiu?"
"Just because Zhi Qiu thinks of me when she encounters difficulties, I would never harm the friends who help her, and I would never get entangled with other women and drive Zhi Qiu away."
"Mr. Gu, perhaps Zhi Qiu isn't as important to you as Miss Xiao, but to me, Zhi Qiu is the most important person, and no one can compare to her. Isn't that enough?"
Lu Jia sneered, yanked Gu Qingyan's hand away, and then quickly walked to Zhou Xiaoran, who was standing to the side, and said with a smile, "Miss Zhou, hello, I'm here to pick you up on behalf of Zhi Qiu."
Zhou Xiaoran had already contacted Shen Zhi Qiu while they were arguing, so she nodded to Lu Jia and followed him outside.
Upon seeing this, Gu Qingyan immediately called Huang Lin to tell him to bring the car to the door.
Upon hearing the contents of the phone call, Lu Jia curled the corners of her lips and said disdainfully, "If President Gu wants to follow me to find Zhi Qiu, I advise you to give up on that idea. You can't catch up."
Gu Qingyan walked past him with a cold face and got into the car. He then ordered Huang Lin, "Wait a minute, follow that car closely. Then tell someone to keep a close watch on it. If there is any record of Zhou Xiaoran buying a plane ticket, notify me immediately. Also, arrange for someone to fly over to the airport and stake it out."
Huang Lin quickly complied.
As Lu Jia started the car, Huang Lin followed closely behind, not daring to blink for fear of losing her.
Lu Jia wasn't in a hurry, and leisurely led Zhou Xiaoran around the city.
"Brother Lu, where are we going?" Zhou Xiaoran couldn't help but ask. Shen Zhi Qiu had just briefly introduced Lu Jia to her, saying that he would ask Lu Jia to pick her up and meet him, but seeing that Lu Jia was going in circles, she still wanted to ask.
"Find a chance to shake off Gu Qingyan," Lu Jia explained, glancing at the car in the rearview mirror with some disgust.
Mentioning Gu Qingyan, Zhou Xiaoran's expression also turned sour, and she pursed her lips without saying a word.
As they approached the fork in the road, Lu Jia deliberately veered to the right, and Gu Qingyan's car followed closely behind. Just as they were about to enter the fork, Lu Jia suddenly reminded Zhou Xiaoran to hold on tight, then sharply turned the steering wheel to the left, instantly changing course and speeding onto the overpass, continuously accelerating and weaving through the traffic.
"President Gu, I... I didn't have time to react..." Huang Lin was terrified and kept looking at Gu Qingyan's increasingly dark face in the rearview mirror.
"Alright, we can go back to Chengdu now." Lu Jia smiled.
"Isn't this the way to the airport?" Zhou Xiaoran asked curiously, glancing at the street outside the window.
“If we don’t go to the airport, Gu Qingyan will definitely check your flight information and have someone follow you at the airport.”
"Then how do we get back?"
"Just come with me, I asked a friend for help." Lu Jia laughed, and half an hour later, he took Zhou Xiaoran directly to the rooftop of a building in the suburbs.
Pushing open the rooftop door, a helicopter was seen landing steadily on it.
A pair of leather boots extended from the driver's seat, and a fit young man quickly jumped out, laughing heartily: "Lu Jia, haha, long time no see! You're always appearing out of nowhere!"
When she saw Zhou Xiaoran behind Lu Jia, she smiled and said, "I presume this is Miss Zhou? Hello, I am Jiang Bei, a good friend of Lu Jia and Zhi Qiu."
Zhou Xiaoran glanced curiously at the helicopter, then looked at the tall, imposing young man in front of her. He was wearing a black T-shirt, revealing his strong, muscular arms; he was clearly a trained fighter. His eyebrows were arched, and his voice was powerful and resonant; he exuded an aura of righteousness.
"Hello, my name is Zhou Xiaoran, it's nice to meet you." Zhou Xiaoran greeted him with a smile.
“Ms. Zhou, let’s get on the plane first. Lu Jia, come with me, let’s leave here first.”
Lu Jia nodded and strode towards the helicopter.
Jiang Bei noticed Zhou Xiaoran's fear and said calmly and firmly, "Miss Zhou, please rest assured, my skills are excellent." Afraid that Zhou Xiaoran would be nervous, he added with a smile, "Zhi Qiu has also ridden in my helicopter, and she thought I flew it quite steadily."
Perhaps it was Jiang Bei's confidence that infected Zhou Xiaoran, and Zhou Xiaoran also felt at ease and followed him toward the helicopter.
"Why is Zhi Qiu staying at your sanatorium?" Jiang Bei asked curiously. Lu Jia had contacted him suddenly without saying anything, just asking him to come and pick her up to meet Zhi Qiu.
"It's a long story. To put it simply, Zhi Qiu wants a divorce, but it's not going well, so she's staying with me temporarily," Lu Jia replied.
"Not going well?" Jiang Bei frowned, then said knowingly, "Is it because of the Gu family's power? But why does Zhi Qiu suddenly want a divorce?"
"Pretty much. Gu Qingyan is a madman." Lu Jia glanced at Zhou Xiaoran and continued, "Zhi Qiu is pregnant, but Gu Qingyan brought a woman home and moved into their marital home. Zhi Qiu was furious and insisted on getting a divorce. She didn't want to get entangled with them, so she left temporarily. In order to force Zhi Qiu to show herself, Gu Qingyan arrested Miss Zhou and took her to the police station."
