From rejecting the beautiful female CEO to becoming extremely powerful

Lu Yunzhou carried Su Qingwan into the inner room. Just as the door closed, the sound of a car driving in came from downstairs.

Her shoulders tensed, and she reached out to grab his collar.

"Put me down, Xiao Sihai has arrived."

Lu Yunzhou glanced at her face and placed her on the bedside.

After Su Qingwan regained her footing, her cell phone rang.

She picked up the phone and pressed the answer button.

"Qingwan, the guests have all arrived, how long are you going to dawdle?"

The man on the other end of the phone was barely containing his anger.

At the entrance of the manor, Xiao Sihai had just gotten out of the car, his black trench coat draped over his arm, when the butler and his men greeted him on the steps.

"I'll go down right away."

After Su Qingwan finished speaking, she hung up the call and touched her ear with the back of her hand.

The blush on her ears hadn't faded yet.

Lu Yunzhou straightened his clothes and, seeing her pick up her evening gown, left the room first.

The corridor was covered with thick carpets, and music from downstairs came through two floors. The drumbeats made the ground tremble as you stepped on them.

Meanwhile, in a guest room on the third floor, Mu Qingying was still standing in front of the dressing table.

The phone screen was frozen on the chat box with Lu Yunzhou.

She had been waiting since the afternoon. The group chat was flooded with blessings, and the screen was piled high with individual messages, but there were no new messages from Lu Yunzhou.

She turned her phone over, and after a while, she took it back to check it.

The chat window is still stuck a few days ago.

Mu Qingying bit her lower lip and opened the wardrobe.

A moon-white starry tulle dress hung on the hanger, its body adorned with tiny sequins, so dazzling that it was impossible to look away when the light shone on it.

She chose this dress before returning to China.

She originally wanted to wait for Lu Yunzhou's personal blessing before wearing it to him.

At this moment, she took off her casual clothes, changed into an evening gown, and adjusted the belt at her waist while facing away from the mirror.

The phone vibrated twice on the table.

She turned around, grabbed her phone, and saw it was just a notification from the work group. Her hand hovered over the screen for a moment before she muted it.

The person in the mirror raised their face, their skirt trailing down to their feet.

She picked out a pair of silver high heels, grabbed her handbag, and walked out of the guest room.

When she reached the door, she glanced back at the phone that hadn't rung before closing the door.

The main hall was already filled with drinks.

Xiao Sihai sat at the main table, and Su Qingwan, having changed into her formal dress, came downstairs and sat next to him, one seat away from him.

Lu Yunzhou rushed over from the side staircase, his suit jacket still untied, when Xiao Sihai raised his hand to stop him.

Did you bring the gift?

Lu Yunzhou pressed his hand against the inside pocket of his suit jacket and nodded.

"The brooch is in the car, I'll go get it now."

Xiao Sihai's gaze lingered on him for a moment.

"Don't keep Qingying waiting too long for her birthday."

Lu Yunzhou turned and left.

Su Qingwan picked up her wine glass, her gaze following his retreating figure, the rim of the glass making a soft clinking sound on the table.

He didn't take the elevator back to the lobby, but went directly down to the underground parking garage through the side door.

The brooch was in a gift box on the passenger side, inlaid with stardust essence, which could nourish the heart meridian.

The eight-petaled flower pattern on the brooch holder was also engraved based on the wax seal of the envelope Mu Qingying sent back then.

The elevator doors opened, and a blast of cold air rushed in through the garage passageway.

Lu Yunzhou pressed the car key, and the car lights in the distance came on.

He had only taken a few steps when he heard struggling sounds coming from a black SUV next to him.

"I won't take this medicine."

The woman's voice trembled, as if her mouth had been covered, and the last part of her sentence was just a muffled sob.

The car window wasn't closed properly, and the light inside illuminated a panicked face.

She was wearing the uniform of a manor maid, her hands were bound to the side of the chair with leather straps, and her shoulders kept shrinking back.

Lei Xiao sat down next to her, pressing her down with one hand and holding a white pill in the other.

The phone on the dashboard was facing into the car, with the recording icon lit up on the screen.

"Swallow it, and admit your mistake as I said."

Lei Xiao pressed the pill to her mouth and looked up at the phone screen.

"After you finish filming this, you can go back. Dare to tell others, the video will be posted in the manor group tonight."

The waitress shook her head frantically, tears streaming down her face.

She struggled so hard that the back of the chair shook violently from the impact.

There were two knocks on the car window.

Lei Xiao turned around, the pill hovering in mid-air.

Lu Yunzhou stood outside the car door, his gaze fixed on the cell phone.

"Let them go."

Lei Xiao frowned and reached out to push open the car door.

"You're even getting involved in the parking garage issue?"

Lu Yunzhou grabbed his wrist and pulled the car door open.

The pills fell from Lei Xiao's hand, and Lu Yunzhou snatched the phone away, catching it steadily in his palm.

The waitress took the opportunity to shrink to the other side of the car door, her hands still bound by a belt.

Lu Yunzhou swept his hand over her wrist and immediately bent down to untie her wrist.

"Don't touch her!"

Lei Xiao raised his foot to kick, but Lu Yunzhou dodged to the side, grabbed the back of his neck with his hand, and pressed him against the car door.

Lei Xiao's nose hit the metal edge, and he groaned in pain.

Lu Yunzhou picked up the pills, wrapped them in a tissue, and then dialed Su Qingwan's personal assistant's number.

"There's someone being forcibly drugged in parking garage B3. Bring people over, take her to the hospital first, and arrange for someone to protect her."

After hanging up the phone, the waitress stood up, her legs still trembling, and held onto the car door.

Lu Yunzhou draped his coat over her shoulders and pointed towards the elevator.

"Go to the exit and wait for someone."

The waitress nodded repeatedly, clutched her coat, and ran out.

Lei Xiao covered his nose, got up from the ground, and yelled into the car.

"What are you two standing there for? Beat them up!"

The two bodyguards got out of the car at the same time.

The man on the left raised his fist and charged forward. Lu Yunzhou raised his arm to block, and the old injury on his right shoulder was pulled and went numb.

Using the momentum of the other man's forward movement, he turned his body to the side and struck the bodyguard in the chest with his elbow.

The bodyguard stumbled and crashed into the car.

Lu Yunzhou grabbed his collar, slammed his knee into his abdomen, and then forced him to the ground.

Another person grabbed a retractable baton from the car and struck him on the back of the head from behind.

Lu Yunzhou heard the sound of the wind and turned his head to avoid it.

The stick grazed his ear as it fell, hitting the concrete floor and making his arm go numb.

Lu Yunzhou turned around, grabbed the stick, twisted his wrist, and the telescopic stick flew out of his hand.

He kicked the bodyguard in the back of the knee, and after the man knelt down, he grabbed the back of the neck and pressed him down next to the first person.

After a few exchanges, the two bodyguards were unable to move.

Lei Xiao retreated to the front of the car, his face twitching uncontrollably.

He took out his phone to make a call, but Lu Yunzhou kicked his wrist, sending the phone sliding off the ground.

Lei Xiao slumped down beside the wheel and pointed at Lu Yunzhou.

"My dad is Lei Hu, how dare you touch me?"

Lu Yunzhou walked up to him, bent down, and picked up the phone.

"Even if your dad comes, I'll still settle the accounts."

Lei Xiao pushed himself back, his shoes scraping a patch of dust off the ground.

He opened his mouth to call for help, but Lu Yunzhou had already grabbed his collar and dragged him to the two bodyguards.

Lu Yunzhou pulled off the belts of the three men one after another, and tied their wrists and ankles together.

Lei Xiao struggled several times, but the belt tightened more and more, his face pressed against the ground, and the tone of his cursing changed.

Lu Yunzhou picked up the phone that was secretly recording the video, stopped the recording, and saved the original file.

He then gathered the pills from the ground into a tissue and put them, along with his phone, into his coat pocket.

The equipment room is located at the far end of the garage, and it is filled with maintenance tools and spare cables.

Lu Yunzhou dragged the three of them over, pushed open the iron gate, and threw them in one by one.

Lei Xiao bumped into the tool rack and was about to get up when Lu Yunzhou closed the door.

"You'll regret this. My dad won't let you get away with this!"
