The unattainable beauty was driven to depravity and madness by a wicked seed.

Lu Tonghai approached, looking at Xu Banmeng with longing in his eyes, and murmured that Lu Sui looked a lot like her, and that he missed her. Not long after, his eyes turned gloomy and fierce, saying that she was disobedient and dared to commit suicide with a knife.

Xu Banmeng has congenital heart disease and is in poor health. In order to obtain the Lu family's property and to give Xu Banmeng a good life, he prevents her from having children and finds healthy women outside but never lets them come to her.

He treated Xu Banmeng well as always, taking care of her every day, not daring to raise his voice, and personally taking care of her clothes and appearance. Why would Xu Banmeng abandon him?!

"I love you, but you say my love is suffocating."

"You're usually so afraid of pain, so why didn't you hesitate at all when you picked up the knife?"

"Do you really hate me that much...?"

Lu Tonghai, Lu Huai Ren, and Lu Sui all became entangled with each other because of a little bit of kindness. Because they had never received love, their crazy possessiveness distorted their love during the process of being loved.

Fortunately, Shen Qinghuai was patient, and Lu Sui was obedient. Their love was not abnormal, which made Lu Sui more human and relatable.

Whether Shi Qianqiu was genuinely clingy when drunk or just pretending, Chen Jingmo didn't know and had no way of knowing, since he had never encountered this situation before.

He clung to Chen Jingmo, pinning him to the sofa, nuzzling his chest for a while, then looked up at Chen Jingmo, calling him "baby" tenderly and affectionately.

After struggling for a moment, Chen Jingmo lay completely flat.

I've never seen Shi Qianqiu like this before.

I really like it.

Although Shi Qianqiu was drunk, he was still a gentleman and didn't grope Chen Jingmo. At most, he would kiss Chen Jingmo's lips. Sometimes, when Chen Jingmo opened his mouth, he would hook Chen Jingmo's tongue and suck on it a couple of times before kissing him. He would mischievously make smacking kissing sounds to make Chen Jingmo turn his head away in embarrassment, and then kiss his ear.

"I love my sweet baby so much."

Chen Jingmo's ears burned at those words, and Shi Qianqiu's pounding heart made his chest go numb. "Did you ever act like this, acting all cute and affectionate with other people when you were drunk before?"

"Others..." Shi Qianqiu said, "There are no other people."

Chen Jingmo's fingertips twirled around Shi Qianqiu's clothes at the waist, and he pursed his lips. "Have you ever been in a relationship before?"

"no."

"So, have you ever kissed anyone? Or had a one-night stand? Aren't people in other countries very open-minded? Have you ever had sex? How many times?"

"I've only ever kissed you, no one-night stands, no friends."

"Really? You're so good-looking, you must have a lot of suitors, both men and women."

After Chen Jingmo finished speaking and received no reply, he shut up in frustration.

Hold.

He's just asking for trouble.

Why are you asking?

What's there to ask!

"Um, I'm going back to the Chen family's house for dinner later, you go back to bed and sleep—"

"I told them I have a boyfriend."

"W-what?"

Shi Qianqiu repeated, "In order to dispel their thoughts about me, I said I had a boyfriend, but I didn't say it was you, for fear that the news would reach Uncle Chen."

Chen Jingmo said slowly and uncertainly, "You originally wanted me to be your boyfriend, right...?"

"Yes, I'm waiting for you to succeed."

Chen Jingmo's mind went blank, leaving him speechless. "No, I don't believe it."

Shi Qianqiu frowned, his drunken brain somewhat blank. Chen Jingmo said he didn't believe him, how could he prove himself... Right, "That summer, I left a hickey on your collarbone."

I've been honest about the hickeys before.

Shi Qianqiu added, "During the National Day holiday, I yelled at you for messing with my computer. Actually, I was afraid you would find the photos inside, so I secretly took pictures of you."

That photo shows Chen Jingmo playing basketball on the playground.

Full of vigor and high spirits, laughing freely.

On the first day, there was not much activity online.

Shen Qinghuai was called away by Chen Ziqiu, who asked him who he had offended.

He couldn't reveal Lu Sui's name now, otherwise he would be putting Lu Sui in the spotlight, so he simply remained silent and pretended to be mute.

Chen Ziqiu angrily pointed at Shen Qinghuai, hovering the finger in the air for a long time without landing on his shoulder, "You're going to drive me crazy."

"Professor, this matter will come to a conclusion."

"What result? Is it going to be worse than this? You're ruining yourself by doing this!" Chen Ziqiu said irritably.

Shen Qinghuai knew that Chen Ziqiu was doing it for his own good, so he stood there enduring the anger. He had just come out of the office when he ran into Chen Jingmo, who was leaning against the wall eating bubble gum.

"This is the first time I've seen you get scolded like this by my second uncle. What happened?" Chen Jingmo waited for him to walk to his side and then walked alongside him.

"President Lu found out about us... I was kicked out of the project."

"How did you find out? That's strange, Uncle Lu has such a good temper, why would he resort to such methods?" Chen Jingmo said, seeing Shen Qinghuai's gloomy face. "Alright, I'm Chen Yunting's eldest son now. Go back tonight and whisper in his ear, and he'll help you."

Shen Qinghuai stopped and turned to look at Chen Jingmo. "Do you think Lu Sui can handle this?"

Chen Jingmo didn't understand what it meant at first, but then he exploded, "You fucking—"

He glanced around, then lowered his voice, "Your relationship is out. Let him deal with it himself. Are you even human?"

"Sui Sui said he would handle it. What do you think he would do?" Shen Qinghuai said. "I'm panicking. I have a bad feeling about this."

"Now that you mention it, I feel a little panicked too." Chen Jingmo blew a small bubble, bit it, and popped it. As the bubble burst, he said, "I don't know what method they'll use. We can't just go down in flames with his dad, can we?"

When Shen Qinghuai got home that evening, he asked Lu Sui what was wrong. Lu Sui said it was nothing.

The next day, there was still no movement, but Chen Ziqiu kept up with Shen Qinghuai regarding the project's progress. Wen Chengyu asked Shen Qinghuai on his phone if he had argued with Lu Sui and why he had quit.

Shen Qinghuai said they didn't argue; it was his own fault.

Wen Chengyu had seen how much effort Shen Qinghuai had put in to participate in this project, but all she could do was worry about him.

Day three.

Fourth day.

On the fifth day, in the evening, Lu Sui poured Shen Qinghuai a glass of water, watched him drink it and fall asleep, then took his laptop to the balcony.

First, someone tentatively posted a few seconds of video of Lu Sui being beaten, and then more and more videos were uploaded, almost crashing the network. Lu Sui controlled the system, making it impossible to take down the video, and after being attacked, he tracked and installed a virus.

On the other side, Lu Huai-ren was in his study ordering people to check the surveillance footage. He sat at his desk, his face so dark it seemed like water could seep out, and suddenly his eyes turned crimson. His pitch-black eyes stared intently at Lu Sui, who was coldly watching the surveillance camera in the video.

"Mr. Lu, we've found it..." The butler carefully placed the surveillance camera, smaller than a fingernail, on the desk.

Lu Huai Ren suddenly chuckled softly, the sound as if squeezed from his throat, hoarse like a broken organ, "He really is my good son."

They installed surveillance cameras here so early, waiting to bring him down today. He really is an ungrateful wretch.

beep.

The landline rang.

It was a call from Lu Tonghai.

Lu Huai Ren was summoned away. Not long after he left, Lu Sui led four bodyguards in and took Fang Yu away.

Fang Yu was in a daze. In the back seat of the car, she looked at Lu Sui and asked, "Who are you?"
