The heavens set sail from the courtyard

When Lu Yaxun saw Xu Zhisen arrive at the nightclub, he immediately realized that Lin Wanfen had informed him.

Lin Wanfen was still worried about her son and also afraid that Lu Yaxun wouldn't be able to handle the people at the nightclub, so she called Xu Zhisen for help.

Lu Yaxun's face darkened considerably, but he knew that saving his son was the priority.

When Xu Zhisen arrived, he saw the injury on Lu Tao's face, but instead of asking about it, he pulled President Xu aside.

The two whispered to each other for five minutes behind Lu Yaxun's back, then walked back with smiles on their faces.

Both Mr. Xu and Mr. Xu Zhisen laughed, and the two put their arms around each other's shoulders like old friends, chatting and laughing.

"Mr. Xu, I'll give you face today. You can take Lu Tao with you! But he's not allowed to come to my place again." Mr. Xu glanced at Lu Yaxun and said:
“Director Lu, go home and discipline your son. Tell him that the capital is a dangerous place and not a place for him to run rampant.”

Lu Yaxun breathed a sigh of relief. Although he didn't know what method Xu Zhisen used to get President Xu to agree, the result was good overall.

Xia Lin had been holding back for a long time. As soon as President Xu gave the word, she rushed to Lu Tao and helped him up.

"Linlin, you don't need to come to work tomorrow. I'll have the finance department settle your salary for this month," Mr. Xu said to Xia Lin.

"Thank you, Mr. Xu." Xia Lin gritted her teeth and thanked him anyway.

Mr. Xu then turned to Xu Zhisen and said, "Mr. Xu, that's settled then! We'll contact you again later."

Xu Zhisen smiled and said, "Okay, I'll call you later."

Mr. Xu nodded in satisfaction, then left with his men.

With Xia Lin's help, Lu Tao stood up and asked Xu Zhisen with a puzzled look, "What exactly did you promise him?"

Xu Zhisen's face darkened. Ignoring Lu Tao, he said to Lu Yaxun, "Quickly call Lin Wanfen. She's probably so worried she's about to call the police."

Lu Yaxun nodded, walked to the side, took out his phone, and called his wife to let her know he was safe.

After sending everyone away, Xu Zhisen said to Lu Tao, "How are you? Are you badly injured? Do you need to go to the hospital?"

Lu Tao touched the corner of his mouth, wincing in pain, and said, "They just have a lot of people, otherwise I wouldn't have..."

Xu Zhisen said in a deep voice, "Hmph! What else do you want to do? Find someone to retaliate against you again?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Tao said, "I didn't do anything wrong. It was that person who took advantage of Xia Lin. If it happened again, I would still take action."

Xia Lin said apologetically, "Lu Tao, I'm sorry, it's all because of me that you got hurt."

Lu Tao patted his chest and said, "You are my woman. If I don't protect you, who will?"

Xia Lin was deeply moved by what she heard, but Xu Zhisen was furious.

"Do you still think you did the right thing?" Xu Zhisen said angrily, "Do you know that I paid a million to bail you out?"

"What?" Lu Tao was shocked.

When Lu Yaxun returned after making the phone call, he was also taken aback by Xu Zhisen's words.

"This is extortion! How could you agree to this!" Lu Yaxun said angrily. "No way, I'm calling the police."

Xu Zhisen held Lu Yaxun down and said, "Old Lu, calm down. You should know what the other party wants. It's already the best outcome if we can settle things for a million now."

Lu Yaxun fell silent upon hearing this.

Lu Tao had no idea how much effort his two fathers had put in to get him out of trouble, and they still believed they hadn't done anything wrong.

“No, you can’t give me this money.” Lu Tao said to Xu Zhisen, “I haven’t done anything wrong.”

Xu Zhisen said coldly, "Don't you know you're wrong?"

Lu Yaxun's expression also turned very ugly.

"Even if I beat someone up, I can just pay some medical expenses and maybe some nutritional supplements. It doesn't need to be a million."

Lu Yaxun said coldly, "Lu Tao, do you think this is just an ordinary fight? Who is this Xu guy? To put it bluntly, he's a local tyrant with connections to both the legitimate and criminal worlds. You think you'll get away with offending him?"

Lu Tao curled his lip and said, "I don't believe there's no law in this world!"

Xu Zhisen said disappointedly, "Lu Tao, you're too naive. How could someone like President Xu possibly talk to you about the law!"

Lu Tao insisted, "Even if we don't follow the law, we should still reason with people!"

Lu Yaxun and Xu Zhisen exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with disappointment.

"Lu Tao, when will you ever mature? How can I entrust the family business to you if you're like this?" Xu Zhisen said, very disappointed.

"Let's go back first!" Lu Yaxun sighed. "I'll talk to him later."

Xu Zhisen nodded and said, "Lu Tao, go home and rest first. Don't rush to the company tomorrow. Let your injury heal."

Xia Lin helped Lu Tao up and advised, "Lu Tao, it's late, let your uncles rest!"

"All right!"

The two fathers helped Xia Lin escort Lu Tao out of the nightclub, and Xu Zhisen called a driver to take him home.

"Lu Tao, are you coming home with me, or going back to your place?" Lu Yaxun glanced at Xia Lin and asked.

“I’m going back to my place,” Lu Tao said. “Xia Lin can stay with me. You should go home and be with my mom. She must be worried sick.”

Lu Yaxun sneered, "So you know your mother will worry? Think before you act in the future and consider the consequences."

Lu Tao didn't want to listen to Lu Yaxun's nagging, so he said to Xu Zhisen, "Let's go."

Xu Zhisen looked at Lu Yaxun and asked, "Old Lu, do you want me to call a car for you?"

Lu Yaxun declined, saying, "No need. I'll take the bus back later. You can take Lu Tao home first!"

Xu Zhisen nodded and said, "Alright, be careful on your way."

"Okay, let's go."

Lu Yaxun watched Xu Zhisen's car drive away before returning home.

Xu Zhisen had the driver take the car to Lu Tao's building, and he helped Xia Lin help Lu Tao home.

Once home, Xu Zhisen said to Xia Lin, "Please take good care of Lu Tao tonight. If he feels unwell, call an ambulance to take him to the hospital immediately."

"Alright! I just have some minor cuts and bruises, it's nothing," Lu Tao said impatiently.

Xu Zhisen ignored Lu Tao and continued to instruct Xia Lin, "Do you have any medicated oil at home? If not, I'll have the driver buy some."

"Yes, I remember there's a bottle in the bathroom." Xia Lin quickly ran to the bathroom to get the medicated oil.

As soon as everyone left, Xu Zhisen patted Lu Tao on the shoulder and said, "Lu Tao, do you remember what I told you last time?"

Lu Tao was taken aback and asked, puzzled, "What did you say?"

Xu Zhisen sighed, "A woman like Xia Lin will only drag you down in the future and will not help your career at all."

Lu Tao frowned and said, "Why are you saying these things again? Be careful Xia Lin doesn't hear you."

Xu Zhisen said seriously, "Hasn't today's events woken you up yet? You clearly have better options, so why did you choose the wrong woman?"

Lu Tao said unwillingly, "Stop talking. I love Xia Lin, and I will not give up on her."

Xu Zhisen said with a stern face, "Today Xia Lin caused us to lose one million, and one day she will cause you to lose even more money."

I'm a businessman, and my specialty is asset appraisal. Charlene is a bad asset; she'll ruin you one day.

"Enough!" Lu Tao shouted angrily. (End of Chapter)
