When Li Chuan received the call, she drove over.

Then they saw their CEO, Mr. Lu, standing outside the villa, looking terrible, like someone who had been kicked out of his home.

He walked down cautiously: "Mr. Lu, are you really suffering from amnesia, or are you faking it?"

"You didn't explain clearly when you asked me to come pick you up on the phone earlier."

Lu Jingci's voice was chilling, as if it were being squeezed out from between his teeth: "What do you think?"

This familiar feeling sent a chill down Li Chuan's spine.

The assessment is complete; it's definitely a case of feigned amnesia.

Li Chuan glanced at the villa not far away, then at her boss, Mr. Lu, and asked, "Then... how did you get kicked out?"

Lu Jingci turned his head and gave him a long, lingering look.

Li Chuan swallowed hard, then quickly slapped her own lips. "It was my fault for being so talkative, Mr. Lu. I'll take you back to the Shenglin Villa."

……

along the way.

Sensing the increasingly faint breaths behind her, Li Chuan wiped the sweat from her forehead while waiting at a red light.

Lu Jingci sat in the back of the car, pressing his temples, his voice growing colder and colder, as if he were talking to himself:

"Where exactly did we go wrong?"

"What did I do wrong?"

"I've thought about it for a long time, and I really can't understand why I was kicked out."

"Clearly, I faked my amnesia very well."

He took out his phone, opened the camera, and looked at his face. "I'm not old or unattractive, so why does Ningning suddenly not want me to be her kept woman anymore?"

"What exactly went wrong?"

The more he talked, the more oppressive the atmosphere inside the car became.

Li Chuan's palms were sweaty, so she quickly turned the air conditioner temperature down a bit.

No, no, after he dropped Mr. Lu off at the villa, he had to hurry home.

It's now obvious that President Lu is in a terrible mood after being kicked out by Miss Xu. He shouldn't go looking for trouble, or he'll be in big trouble.

……

We arrived at the villa.

Just as Li Chuan parked the car and was about to say, "Mr. Lu, I'm leaving," she heard Lu Jingci coldly reply from behind:

"Stop! Did you say you could leave?"

Li Chuan's hand, which was unbuckling her seatbelt, froze in mid-air.

Lu Jingci pushed open the car door and got out without turning his head. "Come in and help me think of a way to get Ningning to forgive me so I can go back to being her kept woman?"

Li Chuan: "..."

Why does being a kept woman sound so glorious coming from President Lu's mouth?

He reluctantly got out of the car and followed President Lu into the villa.

He had a bad feeling.

With his limited intelligence, he certainly couldn't think of a way to get Miss Xu to forgive President Lu. He would definitely be scolded by President Lu and then get yelled at.

No.

For such a "good thing," he had to call Liang Qinghe over; good brothers should share hardships together.

Liang Qinghe shouldn't expect to have a good life either.

He took out his phone, opened the green pop-up app, and began to lie: "President Lu went back to the Shenglin Villa to get some things. He seems to have a bit of a headache, so he asked me to contact you and call you over as soon as possible."

……

After half an hour.

When Liang Qinghe walked in, he glanced into the living room and immediately sensed the atmosphere.

President Lu sat on the sofa with a sullen face and looked very unwell. Li Chuan stood next to him, covered in sweat.

Liang Qinghe's eyes flickered.

How could President Lu be sick in this situation? Judging from his expression, he might have been kicked out by Miss Xu, or his amnesia might have been exposed, and he's now facing a nightmare of trying to win her back.

As for Li Chuan, he couldn't think of a good solution, so he called him over to act as a shield.

This situation is not good; he has to slip away.

He had just taken a half-step back on his toes, about to sneak away.

Li Chuan caught sight of the hem of his clothes and suddenly exclaimed, "Liang Qinghe! You're here, President Lu! Look, Liang Qinghe is here!"

Liang Qinghe's temple throbbed, and he glared at Li Chuan: "..."

Very well, Li Chuan, you've harmed him.

Li Chuan pretended not to see him, walked over and pulled him over.

Lu Jingci looked up; his face was half-lit and half-shadowed in the light, his eyelashes casting deep shadows.

He looked at Liang Qinghe, his tone somber: "Ningning kicked me out. Do you have any way to get me back?"

Liang Qinghe stood there, feeling like he was being roasted over a fire.

"This..." he stammered, "Mr. Lu, please don't rush, let's discuss this further..."

Li Chuan chimed in, "Yes, President Lu, I think Liang Qinghe is right."

And so, the three men spent the whole afternoon plotting, staring at each other, talking nonsense, without coming up with any solution.

-

Meanwhile, Xu Wuning...

She and her dad finished lunch.

After her father left, she hummed a song as she walked to the sofa and took out the gold chain again.

She glanced at the sky outside the window, a slight smile playing on her lips. She then took out her phone and dialed her bodyguard's number.

"Yes, find more people."

"They're definitely going to arrest people. Tell them it's 10,000 yuan an hour, and ask them who would do it?"

"Okay, let's meet tonight, see you there."

……

A few hours later.

Saint Forest Villa.

As evening fell and night descended, the stars twinkled outside the window, and moonlight streamed down.

None of the people inside could come up with a good solution.

Noticing that Lu Jingci's aura was growing colder, Liang Qinghe and Li Chuan were both sweating bullets.

Li Chuan winked at Liang Qinghe.

Liang Qinghe was sweating profusely with nervousness. He really didn't have a good solution, so he could only advise, "I think, Mr. Lu, this matter..."

He hadn't finished speaking.

Just then—

A loud "bang" was heard as the villa's gate was slammed shut.

Lu Jingci was stunned.

Hearing the noise, Liang Qinghe was startled and stood up from the sofa.

Li Chuan also shuddered: "Holy crap, an earthquake?"

The three of them looked outside.

In the pitch-black night, the horns of several cars sounded in unison outside the window.

A dozen bodyguards got out of luxury cars and surrounded the entire villa, making it completely impassable.

Liang Qinghe's eyes widened, and he shrank back. "President Lu, Li Chuan, what happened? Why are there so many luxury cars and bodyguards? Did you call them here?"

Li Chuan shook her head: "No, but why does this scene seem so familiar?"

He opened his mouth wide, pointed outside, and looked at Lu Jingci beside him: "President Lu, do you feel like you've seen this somewhere before?"

Lu Jingci's heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was going to jump out of his chest, and his shoulders were trembling.

downstairs.

The door of the most expensive luxury car was opened.

Xu Wuning walked down the street wearing a bright red halter dress, with her long, wavy hair cascading down to her waist, sunglasses, and high heels.

The bodyguards beside her quickly moved aside to make way for her.

She took out her phone and arrogantly dialed a number.

at the same time.

Inside the villa, Lu Jingci's phone rang, and he pressed the answer button.

Liang Qinghe and Li Chuan both looked over.

On the other end of the phone came Xu Wuning's sickly, low voice, as if she were deliberately imitating his old tone:

"Lu Jingci, it's been a few hours. Did you miss me?"

Why don't you guess where I am right now?

"I've arrived outside your villa to catch you. I was originally going to let you go, but I've thought about it now. That would be too easy on you. I need to continue to humiliate and punish you."

"Are you scared? Are you trembling?"

"Lu Jingci, you choose whether you open the door and come out yourself, or I have someone do it for you."

Then came an even louder crash.

Through the window, Lu Jingci met her cold and fierce gaze.

Xu Wuning's smile deepened as she waved to him in greeting.

She adjusted her sunglasses, her voice growing even colder and more arrogant, carrying a blatant threat: "I've already started making my move."

"Lu Jingci, I'm telling you!"

"If I get in, tonight in your villa, I'll make you cry and beg for mercy, and torture you mercilessly."

"I'll make sure you cry out to heaven and earth in vain, and you won't even be able to keep your clothes on!"

"Are you coming out, or should I come in?"

"You have one minute to choose..."
