Upon hearing Officer Ma's address to Lu Baozhi, the shop assistant immediately shut his mouth.
Lu Yi didn't want this ill-fated shop to rot in his hands, so he gave the shop manager a few instructions and turned to leave.
Lu Baozhi quickly followed, "Yi'er, they said you're the boss, what's going on?"
Having just been extorted until he was penniless, where would Lu Yi get the money to open a shop?
Judging from his hurried trip to Fanghai Hotel, he really was after the money!
Lu Yi strode ahead, showing no intention of answering the question.
Lu Baozhi finally couldn't hold back any longer, stepped forward and grabbed his arm, her eyebrows furrowed.
"It's great that you're a boss, congratulations! But can you tell me what you did at Fanghai Hotel?"
This doesn't sound like concern; it sounds more like an interrogation.
Lu Yi paused slightly, looking at her flushed face with a leisurely smile.
"What else could it be? It's all for the money!"
Knowing full well who tricked you, instead of rushing to get your money back and giving them a good beating, are you going to cower and wait to be ambushed again?
Lu Yi hoped that Lu Han or Lu's family would call the police, but the result... disappointed him again.
That ungrateful imposter, who never learns from his mistakes, is probably hiding at home now and doesn't even dare to leave the house!
Lu Baozhi was heartbroken.
Tears welled up in her eyes.
She had considered Lu Yi's difficult situation, but she never imagined that he was really desperate and had to resort to selling his body for money!
"Yi'er, even if you don't want to have anything to do with the Lu family, you shouldn't trample on your chastity like this. Boys should also protect themselves!"
“I’ve worked in hospitals for so many years, I’ve seen all kinds of patients. Hotels are already places with questionable hygiene. If you’re doing this for money, and you’re indiscriminate in your relationships with men… what if you get a disease in the future…”
Seeing her crying and saying increasingly outrageous things, Lu Yi was speechless.
No, what is this woman saying?!
Is she giving a science popularization lecture on the street, aiming to precisely eliminate illiteracy?
Besides, his orientation is straighter than steel. He's never even held a boy's hand, so how can he be indifferent to both men and women?
After confirming her suspicions, Lu Baozhi's tearful face was filled with worry. Seeing Lu Yi's displeasure, her voice softened.
"I know I shouldn't interfere in your life, but I'm just worried about you. You haven't seen how much people with genital warts suffer, but I have!"
Huh!
Lu Yi couldn't listen to it anymore.
I wondered to myself, "Dr. Lu's head must have been crushed by the car door, he's gone crazy!"
"Ahem, Miss Lu, if there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now..."
He doesn't have time to waste here.
He still has a ton of things to take care of at the store!
Lu Baozhi rubbed her sore and numb shoulders, then remembered why she had come to see him, and immediately stuffed her bag into Lu Yi's arms.
"Here's 200,000 yuan in cash. Take it first, and I'll bring you some more another day when I get it."
Lu Yi took several steps back.
"Miss Lu, I've already taken care of the money!"
"I, Lu Yi, cannot accept your Lu family's money, nor do I want to. The shop is busy, I have to go!"
Officer Ma just mentioned it cautiously.
He said he couldn't help himself and told Lu Baozhi about Lu Yi being blackmailed, and he guessed that the Lu family might already know about it.
He was also told that although the money had been intercepted, the case was still pending and it might take some time before it could be returned.
If Lu Yi needs help, he can use his own money to help Lu Yi get through the difficulties.
Lu Yi chuckled and asked him if no one had called the police at Fanghai Hotel.
Officer Ma thought he was asking about Fan Tong's matter, shook his head in distress, and told him not to risk his life again.
...
Seeing Lu Yi's decisive refusal, Lu Baozhi looked disappointed.
Suddenly remembering something, he jogged after him.
"Yi'er, don't go to Fanghai Hotel lately. Han'er was hit with a bottle by someone and is still too weak to get out of bed..."
That tea man wasn't bedridden because of a head injury!
In a moment of panic, he deliberately tripped and fell down the stairs to distract his parents.
"Dad and I think the same thing. Maybe our Lu family has offended someone... Anyway, listen to your sister, okay?"
"Also, why did you recognize her as your god-sister? Who exactly is she?"
Lu Yi gazed at her eyes and brows, a slight smile playing on his lips.
Lu Baozhi felt uneasy under his gaze, not understanding what was so funny about her words, and a blush crept onto her pale face.
"Hahaha! That's hilarious, absolutely hilarious!"
He laughed heartily without restraint, tears streaming down his face, drawing frequent glances from passersby.
"Lu Yi, you!"
Seeing him so mad, Lu Baozhi felt ashamed and heartbroken. Her chest felt like it was being branded with a red-hot iron!
...
Gu Huainan gripped the phone, his brows furrowed, his teeth clenched.
"Young Master Lu, look at the terrible idea you came up with!"
"Eight people, all of them are in jail. What if any of them let slip and implicate me? What am I supposed to do then?"
Lu Han lay half-reclined on the bed, her legs crossed and shaking them triumphantly.
"Brother Huainan, what are you afraid of? Those guys may be a bit timid, but they're loyal. Don't worry about them!"
When Gu Huainan first heard the news, he was filled with deep regret!
The Gu family has always abided by the law and will always resolve any issues openly and honestly.
I would never resort to underhanded tactics.
That was the father's teaching to the three Gu siblings.
As long as you stay within the legal framework, you can do whatever you want. But if you cross the line, then you can strip yourself bare and go wherever you want!
