A man trying to seduce the police captain: Captain Lu, you're doomed!

Lu Chenyuan dared not think too deeply, and could only shake his head vigorously, trying to dispel those chaotic thoughts.

I washed for a long time until the water gradually cooled down and the heat on my body completely subsided.

He turned off the shower and walked out of the bathroom wrapped in a towel.

The room remained quiet, and the night outside the window grew even deeper.

Moonlight filtered through the sheer curtains, casting a hazy, gentle glow.

He lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

Su Wan's image was still lingering in his mind, impossible to shake off.

Those scenes played back repeatedly like movie clips, and each time they were played, a corner of his heart felt a little warm.

He picked up his phone, and the screen lit up, showing 2 a.m.

I felt unbearably hot and restless all over.

He needs to find something to do now, or he'll go crazy.

After scrolling through my contacts, I finally settled on one name—Xu Yue.

His cousin, a playboy who frequented various entertainment venues.

He used to scoff at Xu Yue's invitations, thinking those glitz and glamour places were too frivolous.

But at this moment, he suddenly wanted to find a place to drink some alcohol and numb his senses.

My finger hovered over the dial button for a moment, then I finally pressed the call button.

"Feed? Brother Shenyuan?"

Xu Yue's voice, tinged with surprise, came from the other end of the phone.

"What time is it? Why did you suddenly decide to call me?"

"Where are you?"

Lu Chenyuan's voice had a slightly hoarse quality that was barely perceptible.

"At the Bund One Cloud Top Club, I'm with Brother Chenzhou and the others."

Xu Yue paused, his voice tinged with a hint of teasing.

"What, Brother Shenyuan, you also want to relax? You never set foot in places like this."

Lu Chenyuan paused for a moment, his tone stiff.

Send me the address.

Not long after hanging up the phone, I received an address from Xu Yue on my phone.

He got up, changed into a black outfit, and left the Lu family mansion quietly without alerting anyone.

In the darkness, his car sped like a black lightning bolt toward the Bund One Resort on the banks of the Huangpu River.

The club is one of the top private clubs in Shanghai, with luxurious yet understated decor, and the air is filled with a subtle fragrance and the smell of wine.

As soon as Lu Chenyuan entered the private room, he saw that it was brightly lit, and Xu Yue and several well-dressed men were sitting around the card table.

Lu Chenzhou sat alone on the sofa in the corner, holding a glass of whiskey in his hand, gazing intently out the window.

Hearing the noise, everyone looked over.

Xu Yue was the first to stand up, a wide smile spreading across his face.

"Hey, Brother Shenyuan, you've finally arrived! I thought you were just saying it casually."

The others also greeted him, their tone carrying a hint of reverence.

They had all heard of Lu Chenyuan's reputation to some extent.

This man lives a life on the edge of a knife; his aura is completely different from those of these pampered playboys.

Lu Chenyuan simply nodded slightly, without exchanging any further pleasantries, and went straight to sit down on the sofa next to Lu Chenzhou.

Lu Chenzhou turned his head, saw him, and a knowing look flashed in his eyes.

He didn't say much, but simply raised his hand to the waiter.

"Get another cup."

The waiter quickly brought over a clean wine glass.

Lu Chenzhou picked up the wine bottle and poured him a small half-glass of amber-colored wine.

"Try it, cask whisky."

Lu Chenyuan picked up the cup, tilted his head back, and drank it all in one gulp.

The spicy liquor slid down his throat, bringing a burning sting, but it also relaxed his tense nerves a little.

"Brother Shenyuan, why did you suddenly decide to drink?"

Xu Yue leaned closer and asked curiously.

"Did something unpleasant happen in Seoul?"

Lu Chenyuan did not answer, but picked up the wine bottle, poured himself another glass, and drank it all in one gulp.

Lu Chenzhou watched him drink silently, a meaningful smile playing on his lips, but he remained silent.

Some things are best left unsaid; saying too much will only provoke this stubborn mule's rebellious mentality.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Xu Yue wisely stopped asking and turned back to the card table.

The private room returned to its previous lively atmosphere, except for the two brothers in the corner who silently drank their wine.

A bottle of whiskey was quickly emptied, and a faint blush rose to Lu Chenyuan's cheeks, his eyes becoming somewhat unfocused.

As the alcohol took effect, the thoughts he had forcibly suppressed began to surface uncontrollably again.

He recalled Su Wan's words in the recording, her resolute turn when she turned away, and Lin Weiwei's offer to introduce Lu Yuanfeng to him. His frustration and resentment surged up again.

He suddenly picked up the new wine bottle, wanting to pour another glass, but Lu Chenzhou pressed his hand down.

"Stop drinking."

Lu Chenzhou's voice was deep and powerful.

"open."

Lu Chenyuan's voice was hoarse with a hint of alcohol as he tried to break free from his grasp.

Lu Chenzhou gripped his hand even tighter, his eyes sharp as he looked at him.

"Lu Chenyuan, wake up!"

Lu Chenyuan raised his head and met his gaze, his eyes filled with struggle.

"I am perfectly sober."

"wide awake?"

Lu Chenzhou scoffed.

"Would a sober person resort to alcohol to escape their emotions like you do?"

Lu Chenyuan's body stiffened abruptly, and his eyes instantly became complicated.

"I know what you're thinking."

Lu Chenzhou loosened his grip, his tone softening somewhat.

"There's nothing shameful about feelings. If you like someone, you like them. There's no need to deceive yourself."

"I don't."

Lu Chenyuan immediately retorted, but his voice lacked confidence.

Whether it is or not, you know it in your heart.

Lu Chenzhou picked up his cup and took a small sip.

"I'll ask you one more time, do you really not like her?"

Lu Chenyuan remained silent.

"Su Wan is a good girl; she lives authentically and passionately."

Lu Chenzhou's expression turned serious.

"A girl like that, once missed, can never be found again."

"Lu Chenyuan, I'm giving you this advice one last time: don't do something you'll regret for the rest of your life."

Lu Chenzhou's words struck Lu Chenyuan's heart like a heavy hammer.

Under the influence of alcohol, his defenses completely collapsed.

The emotions he had forcibly suppressed, the feelings he dared not admit, all surged forth like a flood at this moment.

He recalled Su Wan's relentless pursuit of him, the foolish things she did for him, the infatuation and despair in her eyes, and the sorrow and determination in her singing.

It turns out that from beginning to end, his feelings for her were not disgust, but attraction.

He was just too stubborn, too afraid of losing control, and too used to a peaceful life, so he kept deceiving himself, mistaking that feeling of excitement for restlessness and impatience.

"I……"

Lu Chenyuan opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but found that his throat was blocked and he couldn't utter a single word.

My eyes inexplicably felt hot, and my heart felt both full and empty, a mix of emotions.

Looking at him like this, Lu Chenzhou knew that he had finally come to his senses.

He didn't say anything more, just patted him on the shoulder.

"The rest is up to you."

After speaking, Lu Chenzhou stood up and nodded to Xu Yue and the others.

"You guys have fun, I'm going out for some fresh air."

Xu Yue and the others quickly got up to see him off. Watching Lu Chenzhou's departing figure, they glanced at Lu Chenyuan, who was looking lost and dejected in the corner. They looked at each other, but no one dared to ask any questions.
