Chapter 88 Golden Hook Fishing - Second Standoff
She didn't want the other person to see her vulnerable side, so before leaving, she simply changed her clothes, put on some makeup, and wore high heels.
During the journey, Xu Zhiyu took out her phone and made a call to a female friend.
An hour later, she met Secretary Lu on the top floor of the Mushui Commercial Center building.
Secretary Lu was dressed in a business suit, her hair styled in a low ponytail, exuding a refined air and resolute gaze.
Seeing Xu Zhiyu in the corridor from afar, she went up to her and said, "Miss Xu?"
"Lu Yang has arrived and is in the room. Are you ready? Shall we go in together?"
Ah Yu's face was solemn, her fists clenched, and she could not suppress the anger in her eyes.
"It's good that he's here. I don't have anything to prepare. Let's go straight in."
After speaking, Secretary Lu pushed open one of the heavy double doors. Six bodyguards selected by the Lin family stood outside, exuding an imposing aura.
After Ah Yu entered, in the extremely spacious room, there was an office desk on the left, and a large low table and several symmetrically placed black leather sofas by the floor-to-ceiling window on the right. There were some technological models in the room, modern murals on the walls, and a very thin gray carpet on the floor.
As she entered, Lu Yang, who was sitting on the sofa looking at his phone, looked up. Their eyes met, and his expression gradually changed from surprise to questioning.
Today, it was also cloudy and drizzling in Mushui. The clouds were thick and heavy. In June, when it usually doesn't rain, it wasn't dark until 8 pm, but tonight the night was already deep.
On the top floor of the forty-story building, the neon car lights and the pattering rain outside are blocked out by soundproof glass, and four people are silently confronting each other in the spacious office.
"Why is it you?"
Lu Yang clearly hadn't expected Xu Zhiyu to appear in this place.
He glanced at Secretary Lu behind Xu Zhiyu. Knowing that Secretary Lu was no ordinary person, he asked very politely, "Secretary Lu, where is President Feng?"
Secretary Lu remained calm and composed, saying, "We had President Feng call you here, but the person you want to talk to is not him, but Ms. Xu, who is sitting next to me."
Upon hearing this, Lu Yang frowned, his expression turning strange. He glanced at his secretary behind him and smiled.
Then he got up again, still pretending to know nothing, and asked Xu Zhiyu, "I didn't even know that our Lu family had business to discuss with Miss Xu?"
Lu Yang had meticulously styled black hair, with each strand clearly defined. He had thick eyebrows, bright, auspicious eyes, thin lips, and a mole slightly to the left of his brow.
His eyelids always covered half of his pupils, leaving the other half and the prominent whites of his eyes exposed. His tall stature and well-tailored suits always gave him a sharp and incisive look.
Seeing that Xu Zhiyu remained silent, and given her unusual expression and the obviously low atmosphere in the room, Lu Yang guessed that she might have found out something.
"Speaking of which, Ah Yu and I were high school classmates. The last time we met was when my girlfriend and I went to Mr. Xu's supermarket. I didn't expect Ah Yu to be so capable. Now he's even connected with President Feng. He personally called me over, so you must hold a high place in his heart."
Actually, Lu Yang's words had a hidden meaning. Because he didn't know why Xu Zhiyu was able to come in with Secretary Lu, he could only guess that Xu Zhiyu had somehow gotten close to Feng Jibei and become his mistress.
After Lu Yang finished speaking, he laughed to himself in the same spot.
Xu Zhiyu remained silent, and she couldn't manage a smile either.
She moved closer and stood quietly opposite Lu Yang, looking at him without saying a word.
The atmosphere was so strange that Lu Yang finally lost his composure. His smile gradually turned serious, and he took a deep breath as he looked back at Xu Zhiyu.
"What exactly do you want to say today? What's the point of standing here without moving? Why are you staring at me? Do you think I have something on my face?"
As soon as Lu Yang finished speaking, Xu Zhiyu took a few steps forward in her high heels, and before he could react, a slap came down on his head!
The loud sound echoed in the empty office for a long time.
The secretary behind Lu Yang gasped, covered her mouth, and immediately turned to check his injuries, but he pushed her away.
He pressed the tip of his tongue against the inside of his burning cheek.
He tilted his head and chuckled in a roguish way.
Xu Zhiyu suddenly erupted—
"Lu Yang, what exactly do you want?"
"What exactly do you want from me? What do you want to get out of me?"
"As you can see, my father is just an ordinary chef, and my mother is just a hotel waitress! My family has never caused you any harm, nor have they infringed upon any of your interests. We have no grudge against you!"
"If you're holding a grudge against me for rejecting your confession back in school, then you can take it all out on me—what can you do? You can spread rumors about me, you can rape me, you can even kill me! But I don't understand why you're hurting my innocent parents?"
She was emotional, tears welling in her eyes, but her face remained expressionless.
She seemed to have lost her mind, staring blankly with bloodshot eyes, and began frantically taking off her clothes.
Lu Yang stared at her in shock, watching a once normal girl gradually turn into a madwoman.
"What do you like about me? What part of me do you like? My face? Or my body? My breasts? Or my legs? What do you want? Do you want my body or my soul?"
She pulled down her pants in public as she approached Lu Yang.
"I'll give it to you, I'll give you everything, okay?"
"I'll give you everything..."
Faced with the irrational Xu Zhiyu, he panicked and was at a loss. After all, there was also Secretary Lu, who had a very important status, present, and outside the door stood a family bodyguard who was not on the same level as him. So he dared not make any rash moves. In response to Xu Zhiyu's approach, he could only keep casting pleading and questioning glances at Secretary Lu.
However, Secretary Lu remained unmoved.
Xu Zhiyu stripped down to her underwear and roared, "I'll give it to you!"
"I'll give you anything you want!"
"I only have one request: could you please let my dad get out of bed?"
"They worked hard their whole lives... They loved me with all their hearts their whole lives! I've never felt any pain in my life, from birth until now. They gave me all their love; they are my everything..."
“If all you want is to have me or destroy me—just come at me. I beg you, why did you have someone drive a car into my father? If it's for revenge, then I apologize for what happened back then; if you want to be with me, then I'll be with you! I have only one request: let my father get out of bed. My mother cries every night at home, I don't know what to do, I'd do anything! Can you turn back time? Give my father a healthy body again?”
Her words were a humble plea, but her attitude was forceful and coercive.
Lu Yang's helpless expression aroused her anger. She forced him back onto the sofa. Lu Yang's secretary came forward to stop her, but Xu Zhiyu hit her as well!
"Slap! Slap!"
Another slap landed!
She glared at him angrily: "Don't you like me? What are you standing there for? Go ahead and do it!"
The man was naturally stronger, and he couldn't take it anymore. He grabbed her and pinned her down, saying, "Xu Zhiyu, what are you doing! Calm down!"
"I don't understand what you're saying at all!"
The moment Lu Yang's hands touched her, the door opened, and the people outside rushed in and lifted him up!
After the door opened, in addition to the bodyguard, came a timid and bewildered girl behind him.
She was travel-worn and peered into the house. She was terrified by the chaos inside, but when she spotted Lu Yang being carried up, she thought for a moment and then mustered her courage to go in.
"What the hell are you doing! Let me go!" Lu Yang struggled incessantly.
When Secretary Lu saw a strange girl enter, he worried that she might have come to the wrong place, so he approached her as she entered and asked, "May I ask who you are?"
The girl replied, "I am Su Zi, Lu Yang's girlfriend. A Yu called me today and asked me to come over."
Upon hearing the familiar voice, Lu Yang immediately stopped struggling. He looked in Su Zi's direction, his previously fearless eyes now filled with terror.
Xu Zhiyu naturally overheard Secretary Lu and Su Zi's conversation, but she did not turn around.
She saw Lu Yang's expression clearly, then picked up her handbag from the sofa—and opened it, throwing out stacks of photos.
"You have no idea what I'm talking about? You must know about these photos, right?"
The photos left her hand, scattered in mid-air, and then drifted haphazardly to the ground.
One stack after another.
Lu Yang stared intently, his pupils contracted sharply, and he froze on the spot.
He slowly raised his gaze from the photos, looking at Xu Zhiyu with disbelief.
With the evidence irrefutable, he finally realized that someone had been planning this all along, and that Xu Zhiyu knew everything.
These photos include not only pictures of him and Shen Siqing gambling and whoring together in bars, but also screenshots from CCTV footage showing him and the mysterious man in a hat plotting to cause Xu's father to have a car accident in a coffee shop.
Not only that, there are also a large number of WeChat chat screenshots between him and Shen Siqing, which are filled with Lu Yang instructing Shen Siqing on how to manipulate Xu Zhiyu's feelings and how to get her to agree to go out alone with Shen Siqing overnight so that Lu Yang himself could have an improper relationship with Xu Zhiyu.
One of the key photos is the one that confirms the identity of the man in the hat—he is someone who does all sorts of shady things for Lu Yang.
This includes an incident where Xu Zhiyu was drinking with Shen Siqing and was followed home around 2 a.m. by a man in black, who turned out to be Lu Yang's subordinate. The valuable watch that the man in black lost during the physical altercation with Shang Qi and his group was a gift from Lu Yang.
Lu Yang was no longer able to laugh. He looked at the bodyguards supporting him. They were wearing the same uniform, with an exquisite leather name tag pinned to their left breast.
It reads: "Yunyue Mountain Villa · Forest"
He didn't know what it meant, but the logo next to the text looked very familiar.
He asked in a deep voice, "Where did you get these photos? By your own means?"
