Du Guanglong was physically strong and also quite intelligent.
When he decided to return to Huo Xiao's side, he made proper arrangements for all his brothers.
The few students who went back to school to complete their studies have already found employment.
Perhaps wanting to say goodbye to the low points in their lives, they did not accept the positions offered by the Huo family.
Because of his fluency in foreign languages, the boy with glasses got a job as a ground staff member at the airport.
On the day Lu Yi and his group returned to China, he happened to be on duty. He wanted to go up and greet Lu Yi, but someone beat him to it.
Lu Yi seemed preoccupied and didn't recognize him.
Not long after Lu Yi left the hospital, Du Guanglong called Xiao Yanjing and learned the details of that day.
"Big brother, I saw that female celebrity yesterday, the one who chased after you, the one from the Lu family..."
After learning that Lu Yi had broken ties with the Lu family, Xiao Yanjing stopped paying attention to the Lu family's affairs.
During his year of study at the school, he deeply realized the gap between himself and the sons of wealthy families.
This is also why he took the initiative to persuade his brothers to give up their illusions and find another way out.
Working diligently and eating peacefully is more reassuring than having your mind filled with thoughts of making a fortune.
"Lu Baoqi?"
The name rolled off his tongue like beads, startling even himself.
"It's her, big brother! When are we going to have your wedding banquet? Hehehe..."
The lewd laughter of the bespectacled man instantly blew over the weeds that Du Guanglong had buried in the wasteland, and a tiny seed sprouted from the soil.
The tender buds tickled his heart.
Seeing Liang Shiyue holding a magazine and staring blankly at the snow-white wall, he patted her on the shoulder and asked her to go get two meals.
Seeing him casually wear his coat over his hospital gown, Liang Shiyue asked him curiously where he was going.
He stammered that he had to go see a friend, and then he left.
Although he didn't know whether Lu Baoqi's agent was alive or dead, he couldn't sit still at the thought of that not-so-shrewd girl returning to the country.
When Ji Qing saw Du Guanglong, his expression was somewhat complicated.
"Brother Long, you've come at the right time. You can take care of this girl; I can't handle her!"
Du Guanglong saw Lu Baoqi sleeping soundly on the bed, reached out to hook Ji Qing's neck, wanting to ask him how he did things.
Ji Qing was prepared and nimbly jumped away.
She stood with her arms crossed in front of her and glared at him. "Brother Long, I'm no longer her manager. If you want to know anything, ask her yourself."
Du Guanglong gritted his teeth and exclaimed in surprise, "You old bastard, isn't this effeminate?"
Ji Qing chuckled dryly twice, "There's no other way. To survive in the entertainment industry, you have to establish a unique persona, right?"
"By the way, I also mentored a few new talents for Huo's Media. They have great potential, so Young Master Huo didn't lose out either!"
"We're each serving our own masters, so please don't make things difficult for me!"
Seeing his menacing manner, Ji Qing assumed he had come to demand an explanation.
Thinking that he was still on standby, he figured it was better to avoid trouble.
Anyway, Lu Baoqi ruined her acting career herself. If the Lu family really did participate in the hunt for the Huo family back then, as the legend goes, it would be a huge blow.
Ji Qing dared not imagine how Gong Che would deal with the Lu family.
If the evidence is conclusive, Lu Baoqi will be lucky to escape with her life.
What's her condition now?
Du Guanglong rubbed his bald head, walked to the bedside, leaned down, and stretched out his finger to probe under Lu Baoqi's nose.
"It's nothing. I was probably too stressed a few days ago, and when I suddenly relaxed, I just fainted."
"Take this medicine. She has some mental issues. If she really can't take it, give her two pills to calm her down."
Ji Qing picked up a few boxes of medicine from the table, shoved them into Du Guanglong's hand, and gave him instructions with practiced ease.
Du Guanglong put the medicine into his trench coat pocket.
Looking around, I saw the tiebacks on the curtains and casually pulled them off.
They wrapped Lu Baoqi up tightly, along with the bedding, and carried her out the door.
"key!"
Looking at the few understated yet luxurious cars in the courtyard, Du Guanglong raised his chin and gestured towards the Maybach.
Ji Qing felt a pang of heartache.
This is his prized possession; he's hardly ever driven it himself.
"You sissy, I don't want your car. You can't even bear to use it for a bit?"
Du Guanglong's eyes widened as if a hammer were about to spring out, and his lips twitched fiercely.
Ji Qing quickly relented, "Okay, okay, here you go, alright?"
As midnight approached, the streets of Jiangzhou City were ablaze with neon lights, their glow intertwining with the car headlights, streetlights, and traffic lights to create a flickering play of light and shadow.
Lu Baoqi woke up amidst the turbulence.
How did I get here?
She pounded her forehead and opened her eyes, only to find herself tightly bound, her mouth agape in shock.
Will Lu Yi retaliate in kind?
Lu Baoqi believed he could do it.
"Don't be nervous, it's me."
Du Guanglong lightly applied the brakes and turned into a wide area to come to a stop.
He opened the door, got out of the car, and helped her untie the knot.
"Where is this? Why did you bring me here...?"
Lu Baoqi clutched the corner of the blanket, shrank into the corner of the car seat, and looked at Du Guanglong warily.
"What are you doing? Do you remember what you did?"
Du Guanglong rested one hand on the car door, took a drag of his cigarette, and wore a look of inscrutable pity.
He also wanted to ignore it and let Lu Yi take revenge.
But Lu Baoqi was, after all, a woman who had once had feelings for him.
Lu Gengsheng's death was ultimately caused by Lu Han. This stupid woman couldn't hide anything from her when she frowned.
Lu Han deserves to die, but Lu Baoqi doesn't deserve to pay with her life, does she?
"I...I'm only doing this so that Yi'er will forgive me!"
Lu Baoqi blinked her sleepy eyes, her eyes reddening, and then she buried her head in the blanket in frustration.
"Didn't I tell you not to provoke him again? Or didn't I text you not to challenge Lu Yi's bottom line?"
Du Guanglong flicked the cigarette butt away, put his hands on his hips, and looked utterly bewildered.
The women in the Lu family are all like this, so self-righteous that it makes you want to punch them, crack open their heads, and see if their brain circuits are messed up.
“Lu Han and Lu Yi are both my younger brothers, what am I supposed to do? Lu Yi is so smart, he can build his own empire, but Han’er is different…”
"You didn't see how he humbled himself and fawned over others for the sake of the Lu family. He made mistakes, and I made amends. Isn't that enough?"
Lu Baoqi sobbed, saying she didn't know what she had done wrong.
Seeing how clueless she was, Du Guanglong didn't bother to explain.
"You can go now. I'll find you a place to hide. Once things have settled down with President Lu and the third brother has calmed down, then you can..."
Lu Baoqi paused for a moment, then threw off the blanket and crawled to Du Guanglong's chest.
"I'm not leaving. If killing me is the only way to appease him, then I'll give him my life. I've already experienced what it's like to be a big star, so I have no regrets about dying!"
"But you haven't answered me yet: can you accept me?"
Her clothes were thin, and her warm, fragrant body scent lingered around Du Guanglong's nose, almost making him succumb to her charms.
