As soon as Jian Lu entered the bar, he noticed something unusual on the second floor and spotted Miao Fenghuang at a glance.
Miao Fenghuang looked towards Jian Lu and greeted him, "Hello, sir."
Jian Lu had his secretary and others wait downstairs while he went upstairs alone.
"And her?"
"Inside."
Jian Lu wanted to push the door open and go in, but Miao Fenghuang reached out and blocked the door. "Sir, please wait a little longer. The boss has some private matters to attend to."
Jian Junye is his eldest nephew. If he wants to protect his own, the boss will be in a difficult position.
At that moment, the door to the private room opened.
A bodyguard stood at the door and said to Jian Lu and Miao Fenghuang, "The boss wants him to come in."
Miao Fenghuang then took two steps back, no longer blocking Jian Lu, and the bodyguards also stepped aside to let Jian Lu in.
Inside the private room, Ah Li sat on the sofa, a large ruby embedded in the dagger in her hand. She raised an eyebrow slightly at Jian Lu, "And this gentleman is?"
Jian Junye was pale and clutched his hand in great pain. This woman had someone break the fingers on his left hand and said she wanted him to pay back 500 million.
He looked at Jian Lu with a pained expression, his eyes immediately reddening, and cried out, "Uncle, save me!"
Jian Lu gave Jian Junye a cold look, then looked at Ali. She wanted Jian Junye to think that they didn't know each other.
Ah Li's fingertips slowly glided across the large ruby, and she gave Jian Lu a slight smile, wondering if her husband would agree.
Jian Lu sighed inwardly. All he wanted to do right now was hold her tight, but since she wanted to play, he would play along. So, he asked with a serious expression, "Did you offend this person?"
"I don't!"
Jian Junye immediately started shouting, saying that Ah Li was lusting after his good looks, tricked him into the private room, and tried to force herself on him. When he refused, she even had him tortured.
After saying that, he raised his left hand so that Jian Lu could see how twisted it was.
"Uncle, you must stand up for me!"
Ah Li looked at Jian Junye with amusement. This was the male lead—avoiding the important issues, distorting the truth, and utterly irresponsible.
He's not even as good as Jian Lu, that cannon fodder male supporting character.
"is that so?"
Jianlu looked at Ahli with a blank expression.
Ahri, with an air of nobility and aloofness, said, "This person took 500 million from me. I want him to return it, but he doesn't have the money, so I'll just collect some interest first."
"Five hundred million."
Jian Lu looked at Jian Junye, "Did you take it?"
Jian Junye looked pale. This woman didn't follow the rules. Shouldn't rich people like them keep quiet about being cheated out of money and being taken advantage of?
Ahri waved her phone. "I still have records of him taking my card and withdrawing money. Sir, would you like to come and take a look?"
Jian Lu's foot was about to step over unconsciously, but he still stared at Jian Junye.
Jian Junye dared not deny it now, and said, "I took it."
"What about the money?"
Chien Chun-yeh said, "I spent it all."
Ahri curled her lips into a smile. Most of the money had been spent, and the rest was still in the female lead's hands.
However, she still stared intently at Jian Lu. It had been a long time since she had seen him dressed so warmly, and she wanted to help him take off his clothes one by one; he must be so hot.
With just one look from Ah Li, Jian Lu understood.
He walked over to Ahri and sat down on the sofa next to her. "Madam, I'm his uncle. May I see the record of him taking the card?"
Ah Li handed the phone to Jian Lu, "Okay."
Jian Lu reached out and took it, but Ah Li suddenly grabbed his hand and said, "Up close, I find that your uncle is more attractive than that spineless coward."
Jian Junye was first shocked, then overjoyed. If this woman had taken a liking to his uncle, then he wouldn't have to pay back the money.
Jian Lu restrained himself from shaking Ah Li's hand back, and said in a cold voice, "Madam, please have some self-respect. I did not receive five hundred million from you."
Wow, the smell of vinegar is so strong.
The five hundred million sounded like he was saying it through gritted teeth.
Ahri withdrew her hand regretfully. "Alright then, I'll ask whoever took it for it."
Jian Junye exclaimed in surprise, "Uncle!"
Five hundred million is not a large sum of money for his uncle; he can easily come up with it.
However, Jian Lu didn't look at him. Instead, she opened her phone and saw that 'Ali' had given Jian Junye a black card and even tried to make advances, but Jian Junye avoided her.
Very good, treat him the same way you did before.
The video ended quickly, and then it showed Jian Junye going to withdraw money. There was a woman next to him, and the two of them were all smiles, looking happy as the money appeared in the account.
Jian Lu looked sharply at Jian Junye, "Who is this woman next to you?" He felt that she looked somewhat familiar.
Jian Junye cowered; there really was a video recording!
"She's just a friend of mine."
Jian Junye's eyes darted away; he couldn't expose her.
Ali waved to his bodyguard and said, "Take them out and sell them. We can't get 500 million back right away, but we can still make some money."
Jian Junye's face turned ashen. He quickly looked at Jian Lu and cried out, "Uncle, please save me! I'm your nephew!"
At the same time, bodyguards approached Jian Junye, grabbed him, and tried to drag him out despite his cries.
Of course, there is a technique to dragging people away; you can't drag them away all at once, you have to drag them away slowly.
Jian Lu's face held the cold arrogance of someone in a superior position. "You took it yourself, so you should return it yourself. It has nothing to do with me."
Jian Junye was utterly desperate. Jian Lu's words clearly meant he was abandoning the matter.
