From rejecting the beautiful female CEO to becoming extremely powerful

The manor gates were pushed open.

As soon as the two bodyguards behind the door raised their guns, the clearing personnel grabbed their wrists and kicked the guns against the wall.

Lu Yunzhou stepped over the threshold, his shoe sole shattering the glass on the ground.

The main building was brightly lit, and the living room was full of people.

Chu Zhengnan sat in the center of the sofa, with a share transfer document beside him.

Madam Chu huddled beside him, clutching the hem of her clothes with both hands, her shoulders trembling uncontrollably.

Zhao Liqun stood by the coffee table, his face still bearing the bruises from the beating.

When he saw Lu Yunzhou, his legs went weak and he almost knelt on the ground.

More than a dozen guns were raised at the same time, their muzzles pointed at the center of the living room.

Lu Yunzhou raised his hand.

The personnel clearing the area dispersed; some blocked the windows, some blocked the stairs, and the rest pointed their guns at the Chu family bodyguards.

The only sound in the living room was the soft click of the safety latch being turned.

Chu Zhengnan stared at Lu Yunzhou, pressing his palm down on the share transfer document, forcibly maintaining his composure.

"Mr. Lu, the Chu family is willing to talk."

He was polite in his words, but the veins on the back of his hand were bulging.

Lu Yunzhou walked to the coffee table and glanced at the documents.

The Chu Group's 35% stake, full cooperation rights to the Nanwan Old Port project, and a blank check stamped with the Chu family's financial seal.

Chu Zhengnan pushed the things in front of him.

"Here, take all of these. That's enough for tonight."

Madam Chu nodded quickly, her eyes pleading.

She turned to the side, blocking the short gun under the coffee table.

Lu Yunzhou picked up the share transfer agreement and flipped through two pages.

The edges of the paper are very new, and the ink is not completely dry yet.

"Can all this stuff buy back the three years' worth of medication Lin Yuxuan gave me?"

Chu Zhengnan's face darkened.

Lu Yunzhou folded the document in half and tore it open.

The sound of paper tearing echoed throughout the living room, and fragments landed in front of Chu Zhengnan's lap.

"Can you buy back the palm strike that Master Mo used to sever my meridians?"

Chu Zhengnan's palm pressed against the sofa armrest, his nails digging into the leather.

Lu Yunzhou looked up at him.

"Can you buy back the insults Chu Tiankuo hurled at me?"

Chu Zhengnan did not answer.

Lu Yunzhou tore the remaining pieces of paper into pieces and scattered them on the ground.

"I'm here tonight only to collect payments. I don't want money, shares, or projects."

Zhao Liqun became anxious.

He rushed up to Lu Yunzhou, clasped his hands together, and kept pointing at his own mouth, then at Chu Zhengnan.

He wanted to say that he had kept an eye on Lu Yunzhou for the Chu family and had also handled evidence for Chu Tiankuo.

He had handled all the information about the Nanwan project, Lu Yunzhou's whereabouts, and news from Lin Yuxuan.

These things could save your life.

Zhao Liqun opened his mouth and shouted, "Mr. Lu, give me a chance, I can prove it..."

Lu Yunzhou raised his hand and pinched the silver needle.

A cold glint fell on Zhao Liqun's Adam's apple.

Zhao Liqun's body stiffened, and the second half of his sentence got stuck in his throat.

He tried desperately to open his mouth, his chest heaving, but he could only manage a few muffled breaths.

Lu Yunzhou put away the silver needles, his voice flat.

"The vocal cords are blocked, and the meridians in your throat are also blocked. Listen quietly for now."

Zhao Liqun clutched his neck, his legs went weak, and he collapsed to his knees.

His palms were braced against the carpet, sweat beading on his forehead, yet he couldn't even beg for mercy.

Chu Zhengnan glanced at him and immediately looked away.

This person is no longer useful.

Lu Yunzhou turned his gaze back to Chu Zhengnan.

"When your son first tried to harm me, no one in the Chu family stopped him. When Lin Yuxuan drugged me, no one in the Chu family stopped her either. When Elder Mo shattered my meridians, you all just stood by and watched the show."

Chu Zhengnan sat up straight.

"Those were all conflicts between young people; the Chu family didn't intervene personally."

Lu Yunzhou kicked over the coffee table.

The teacup rolled to the wall, shards littering the floor.

"You invited Mr. Mo. Your whole family knows about Lin Yuxuan and Chu Tiankuo's affair. Now you want to shift the blame to the younger generation?"

Madam Chu couldn't help but cry out, reaching out to tug at Chu Zhengnan's sleeve.

Chu Zhengnan shook her off and fixed his gaze on Lu Yunzhou.

"You've broken into the Chu family with your men, violating Sheng'an's rules. If you dare to mess with the Chu family today, someone will mess with the people around you tomorrow."

Lu Yunzhou took a step forward.

Are you threatening me?

Chu Zhengnan paused for a moment.

Lu Yunzhou bent down, grabbed his collar, and lifted him off the sofa.

"You've been using the rules to suppress others for so many years, and now that you're the ones getting hurt, you suddenly start talking about the rules?"

Chu Zhengnan's feet left the ground, and his face turned ugly.

He reached out to pry Lu Yunzhou's hand off, but Lu Yunzhou pressed his arm back onto the sofa.

"Lu Yunzhou, if you kill me, the Chu family will not let you go."

"You take care of things tonight first."

Lu Yunzhou released his grip.

Chu Zhengnan slumped back down, his Adam's apple bobbing, his gaze falling on the living room doorway.

Just then, the sound of a wheelchair rolling over the ground came from outside the door.

Ye Zhiwei pushed Chu Tiankuo in as they entered.

Chu Tiankuo was still wearing a hospital gown, his forehead was wrapped in gauze, his face was ashen, and his hands hung at his sides.

He had been unconscious for a long time, and his eyelids twitched a few times as soon as he was pushed into the living room.

Madam Chu rushed over.

"Tiankuo, wake up, Mom is here."

Her voice trembled, and her hand had just touched the wheelchair when Ye Zhiwei raised her hand to block it.

Ye Zhiwei glanced at the Chu family members, her injured leg standing ramrod straight.

"He just woke up, and his mouth is still very dirty."

Chu Tiankuo opened his eyes and the first thing he saw was Lu Yunzhou.

He paused for half a second, his anger masking his weakness.

"Lu Yunzhou, you piece of trash, how dare you come into my house? You think you can run wild in the Chu family just because you brought a few men with guns?"

His voice wasn't loud, but it could be heard clearly in the living room.

Lu Yunzhou walked to the wheelchair and placed his hand on Chu Tiankuo's shoulder.

Chu Tiankuo raised his foot and kicked him.

Lu Yunzhou dodged to the side, his palm landing on Chu Tiankuo's shoulder.

The vital energy flows into the meridians through the acupoints.

Chu Tiankuo's right arm dropped to the ground, his hand lost its strength, and he couldn't even hold onto the wheelchair armrest.

Just as he was about to raise his left hand, Lu Yunzhou's two fingers landed on another acupoint.

His left arm then drooped down.

Chu Tiankuo's body lurched forward, his forehead hitting the edge of the wheelchair, causing him to gasp in pain.

"What did you do to me?"

He looked up, gritted his teeth, and his voice began to weaken.

Lu Yunzhou squatted down in front of him.

"I've sealed off the meridians in both of your arms."

Chu Tiankuo tried to reach out and grab him, but his arm only twitched slightly.

Lu Yunzhou patted his face.

"From today onwards, you will not be able to sign anything, handle a gun, or affix the Chu family's seal."

Chu Zhengnan's expression changed.

He hurriedly reached for the family seal on the table, intending to hand it to Chu Tiankuo for confirmation.

Chu Tiankuo's hands hung down, unable to even touch the box.

Ye Zhiwei pushed the seal box away.

Chu Tiankuo stared at her, his teeth clenched so tightly they made a creaking sound.

"If you dare touch me, my dad won't let you get away with it."

Lu Yunzhou stood up, took the pistol handed to him by the clearing personnel, unloaded the magazine, and casually tossed it in front of Chu Tiankuo.

"Your dad can't even protect himself now."

Chu Zhengnan looked up and his lips moved a few times.

Gun barrels were all around the living room. Zhao Liqun knelt on the ground, speechless. Chu Tiankuo's arms hung limply, and Madam Chu held her son, trembling.

Those in the Chu family who were able to resist were all pinned down.

Lu Yunzhou turned to look at Chu Zhengnan.

"Explain each and every debt you owe me."

He stopped in front of the sofa, gently turning the silver needle in his palm.

"If you don't pay a penny less, nobody's leaving tonight."
