"Please, heroine, stop coming over!

Just as Leng Qingqiu's lips were about to touch Lu Chengwen, he couldn't hold back anymore and dodged past her cheek.

He cursed under his breath, "Dragging your feet like this, I'm not in the mood anymore."

Leng Qingqiu was surprised to find a strong sense of disappointment welling up inside her.

What am I doing?

Was I really about to kiss Lu Chengwen?

And now that he's not into it, I'm actually disappointed?

This jerk, am I really that annoying?

For the past three years, if I gave you even a little bit of a good look, you'd jump three meters high.

Now you're acting all high and mighty! Just bullying people!

Turning around, she saw Lu Chengwen's hand trembling as he faced away from her.

Leng Qingqiu couldn't help but laugh.

This silly boy, so nervous? Hmph, trying to act like a big bad guy but not having the guts, serves you right for being single.

"Uh..."

Lu Chengwen waved his fingers aimlessly, "Let's just... leave it at that. I have things to do, I'm leaving."

Lu Chengwen tried to act calm, but he practically ran out. Zhao Gang approached him, "Young Master Lu, how did it go?"

"Shut up, let's go!"

Behind them, Leng Qingqiu walked out, calling out to Lu Chengwen with an indifferent expression:

"Young Master Lu!"

Lu Chengwen stopped.

"If you ever feel like kissing, come find me."

Lu Chengwen looked at Leng Qingqiu's calm face, even with a hint of smugness, and clenched his fist.

Are you all just here to torment me?

"Got it." Lu Chengwen turned and left, almost fleeing in panic.

Leng Qingqiu could guess his current mood just by looking at his back. If he had rocket skates, he'd probably fly away.

Leng Qingqiu laughed heartily.

The people around her, like Han Yue, were utterly shocked!

Has our boss... lost her mind?

Lu Chengwen didn't wait for the elevator. When the doors opened, a female officer and several police officers saw Lu Chengwen and immediately showed their badges.

"Lu Chengwen, right?"

Lu Chengwen was beyond frustrated.

Damn it! Can't I catch a break today!?

Another female lead?

Just... damn it, Long Aotian, come out! I won't lock you up anymore!

Good grief, you're taking a break, but your women are taking turns to torture me!

The female lead, Zhang Shen'er.

Back in school, she often reported on me. If there's one person in this world who wishes for Lu Chengwen to die a miserable death on the streets, it's definitely Zhang Shen'er.

Unlike Leng Qingqiu and Xu Xuejiao's dislike, Zhang Shen'er hates me.

She hates the rich and stubborn like me, who can bully others at will, thinking I don't deserve to live in this world.

According to the normal plot, she would investigate the bad things I've done, sneak into my company to find evidence. But I caught her.

I planned to do something first, then something else.

I drugged her and even prepared a coffin for her.

No doubt, the angel of justice, the chosen one, Long Aotian, appeared!

Just as I was about to succeed, he killed me and saved Zhang Shen'er.

Then, what to do with Zhang Shen'er, who was poisoned with a lust drug?

Oh, what a coincidence? Long Aotian just happens to have the antidote on him?

So, in a situation of utter desperation, with no other options...

Long Aotian had no choice but to reluctantly, with a strong sense of guilt, unwillingly... gritting his teeth... reluctantly... detoxify her in an indescribable way.

Clap clap clap!

Applause is deserved here!

The key point is, later Zhang Shen'er got addicted to the detox process!

From then on, she became obsessed with the "detox" process, thinking that only Long Aotian's detox artifact was the strongest, the best, top-notch, and she couldn't live without it.

How cliché!

This plot is so cliché it's unbearable!

But there are plenty of people who love it!

Lu Chengwen knows.

According to the plot, this woman is the one who can truly send him to the afterlife, the most dangerous of all the female leads!

He must not let his guard down.

"Oh, old classmate!" Lu Chengwen laughed, "What a coincidence!"

"Someone reported that the young master of the Lu family was publicly assaulting people here, even setting a schedule for it. Are we wrong?"

Lu Chengwen thought to himself:

[This is bad, Zhang Shen'er hates me more than any other girl.]

[The key is, I'm in a hurry to save someone, I can't be arrested by her!]

[If she arrests me, wouldn't Jiang Shihan's mother be doomed?]

Zhang Shen'er was puzzled, "What did you say?"

"Ah? Oh, I was saying, between old classmates, can't we be a bit flexible? Let me tell you, that Jiao Shiheng is a real bad guy, he indulges in all sorts of vices, bullies others, thinks he's all that just because he has some dirty money, insults and toys with women. And he doesn't close the door when he uses the restroom..."

"Whether he closes the door or not is none of our concern. You hit someone, come with me to the police station."

Lu Chengwen was sweating bullets.

"Shen'er..."

"Call me Officer Zhang."

"Alright, Officer Zhang. I really need to go save someone, please be merciful, let me off this once, okay? How about this, give me two hours, just two hours, I'll go save someone, then turn myself in."

"Lu Chengwen, do you understand the law? The law is merciless, do we need to check your schedule before enforcing it? Cut the crap, you can resist arrest, but it will only make things worse for you!"

Lu Chengwen was handcuffed with a click.

"Shen'er, no, Officer Zhang. I know you hate people like me, to be honest, I hate myself too. But today I'm really in a hurry to save someone, it's a matter of life and death! Every time you arrest me, I'm out in a few hours after posting bail, right? This time, please, let's be flexible, saving someone counts for both of us, we'll share the merit."

Zhang Shen'er wasn't a by-the-book officer. She gave Lu Chengwen the middle finger and walked away.

In the car, Lu Chengwen kept explaining, but it was no use.

Zhang Shen'er really couldn't stand Lu Chengwen.

And she wasn't like Leng Qingqiu. Leng Qingqiu still had to consider the face between the two families, at least superficially trying to keep things civil for Lu Chengwen.

Zhang Shen'er wouldn't give Lu Chengwen any face at all. When Lu Chengwen was being put into the police car, she even secretly gave him a couple of jabs.

Zhang Shen'er had trained before, she had beaten Lu Chengwen plenty of times as a kid, and these jabs left Lu Chengwen gasping for breath.

Lu Chengwen was locked up in the police station, grabbing the bars and shouting, "Officer Zhang! Can I make a phone call? Can I make a phone call, please?"

Zhang Shen'er walked over with the register and hit Lu Chengwen's hand on the bars, "Quiet down! This is a police station, not your villa!"

Lu Chengwen blew on his fingers, "Officer Zhang, I know you can't stand me, but this isn't personal, it's a matter of life and death! Believe me this once, I beg you, let me make a call. One call, if I'm lying, it's just a call, but if I'm not, you could save a life!"

Zhang Shen'er had never seen Lu Chengwen in such a state or with such an expression, and rarely heard him pleading so earnestly.

She had arrested him a few times before, and each time he came in with a carefree attitude, stayed in a single cell, ate high-end boxed meals, and swaggered out after a few hours, always making some cheeky remarks to her before leaving.

Of course, the things Lu Chengwen did were mostly minor, so according to procedure, he could post bail and leave, not some fugitive outlaw.

Plus, the people he bullied usually accepted settlements, so he was always brazen.

But today, Lu Chengwen was acting differently, he seemed genuinely anxious.

Zhang Shen'er kept a straight face, looking at Lu Chengwen, who met her gaze without flinching, his eyes sincere.

"Just one call, please."

"I'll make it, give me the number."

Lu Chengwen gave Xu Xuejiao's number.

Zhang Shen'er dialed cautiously, and upon hearing Xu Xuejiao's voice, she handed the phone to the bars.

Lu Chengwen couldn't stick his head out, so he tried to get his mouth as close as possible, "Xuejiao? Are you there?"

"Yeah, I'm here, what's up, handsome?"

"Ha ha, actually, there's something I need to ask you."

"Go ahead."

Lu Chengwen said, "My secretary, Jiang Shihan, remember her? The one who knelt in front of me in the lounge today."

Zhang Shen'er rolled her eyes, she was utterly disgusted by Lu Chengwen's actions, making his subordinate kneel, what a scum!

"Yeah, I remember, what about her?"

"Listen, her mom's illness has flared up, it's serious, you need to help her. That bastard Long Aotian is nowhere to be found, this should be his job, but he's not showing up today. Jiang Shihan's mom is in critical condition, can you go check on her for me?"

"How should I check?"

"You'll know as soon as you see her mom's illness, it's rare, but you can treat it."

"Oh? Young Master Lu cares so much about his subordinates?"

"Sis, stop teasing me, saving someone is urgent!"

"Not going."

"Not going?!"

"I'm not familiar with her, I don't just treat anyone, you know that."

"Can you do it for me? Help her, save her mom once, I'll pay you double the fee."

"Do I look like I need your money?"

"Right, right, how about this, help me this once, I owe you a favor, I'll repay you in any way I can, okay?"

"Oh, you're begging me?"

"Yes!" Lu Chengwen was almost dying of frustration.

"I'm begging you, you're my grandma, great-grandma, great-great-grandma, please, old ancestor, just help out, I'm kowtowing to you here!"

"Ha ha ha, I'm not interested in being your great-great-grandma, but if you're begging, you need to beg properly."

"Can we talk about this after I get out? Save someone first."

"Promise me one condition, and I'll save her."

"Name it!"

"Transfer all your shares in the Ninth Pharmaceutical Factory to me, not a single penny."

Lu Chengwen closed his eyes.

The Ninth Pharmaceutical Factory was worth over 30 billion, and his shares were about 17 billion.

"Fine, I agree."

"Deal?"

"Deal, deal."

"Come sign the contract."

Lu Chengwen roared, "I'm in jail! How can I come sign the contract? Save someone first! Save someone! The factory shares are all yours, I don't want them anymore!"

On the other end, Xu Xuejiao was holding back her laughter.

At this moment, she was already sitting in Jiang Shihan's mother's hospital room, having stabilized her condition, and had scheduled surgery for her next week.

Only Lu Chengwen was still freaking out like an ant on a hot pan.

Jiang Shihan was completely stunned.

Over 17 billion!? Even if she sold herself, she wouldn't be worth that much!

That's an amount that ordinary people couldn't earn in one lifetime, no, ten lifetimes, a hundred lifetimes!

To save her mom, Young Master Lu... is willing to give up that much?

As if afraid that Lu Chengwen wouldn't be anxious enough, Xu Xuejiao deliberately said slowly, "Still not very convincing, you're always so unreliable. Just a secretary, is she worth this much to you?"

Lu Chengwen was about to explode with anger, gritting his teeth, "Because I like her, okay? I love her, I have a crush on her! I want to... take her home and make her my wife, is that good enough for you?"

Xu Xuejiao raised an eyebrow, "Oh? Really?"

She looked up at Jiang Shihan, who was completely dumbfounded.
