From rejecting the beautiful female CEO to becoming extremely powerful

Ye Zhiwei gritted her teeth and quickly shut down the device.

The medicinal mist in the front courtyard gradually dissipated, but none of the three people on the ground stood up.

Lu Yunzhou's hands were still holding Ning Shuang's shoulders and neck, while Ning Shuang's hands were also pressing on his stab-proof vest.

Ye Zhiwei squatted down, opened the canvas bag, took out two antidotes, and tore open the seal of one of them.

……

When Lu Yunzhou woke up, his throat was full of the taste of medicine.

My right shoulder was so numb I couldn't lift it, and I felt a tightness in my chest.

He propped himself up on the edge of the bed and looked down at the table.

Two empty tubes of antidote were placed side by side, and Ye Zhiwei was holding a testing device, staring at the numbers on the screen.

Lu Yunzhou immediately asked Ye Zhiwei what concentration the atomizing device was set to.

Ye Zhiwei admitted that the concentration was close to military-grade levels.

"You want to take down all three of us at once?"

Lu Yunzhou stared at her, his hand pressing against the edge of the bed.

Ye Zhiwei put away the instrument and explained that Ning Shuang had already reached the ninth rank, and ordinary doses of medicine could not restrain her.

She increased the concentration to suppress Ning Shuang.

Lu Yunzhou threw off the covers and got out of bed. He had just taken a step when his knee wobbled.

"I just want to keep Ning Shuang under control for now."

Ye Zhiwei reached out and supported his arm, her expression somewhat stiff.

Lu Yunzhou shook off her hand and raised his palm to unleash his inner energy.

The breath traveled along the chest and abdomen to the shoulders, where it immediately dissipated.

The numbness in my shoulder sank downwards, and half of my arm lost its strength.

The medicinal mist in the forecourt remains in my memory.

At that moment, all three of them fell down by the threshold. Ning Shuang was on top of him, while Ye Zhiwei and Bai Wantang also lost their balance.

If the device had been kept on for a little longer, all three of them would have had to be taken to the hospital.

Ye Zhiwei took out a wristband, fastened it to his wrist, and made him walk ten steps before turning around and raising his arm.

Lu Yunzhou did as instructed.

After taking ten steps, sweat beaded on his forehead, and he stopped when he raised his right arm to shoulder height.

Ye Zhiwei stared at the test results and then felt his pulse.

"The effects of the medication are still present. You can walk, but you'll hurt yourself if you make a move."

She withdrew her hand, her voice very low.

Lu Yunzhou asked about Ning Shuang.

Ye Zhiwei told him that Ning Shuang had been transferred to the underground interrogation room by Bai Wantang, and that her blindfold and soundproof mask had been removed, and her hands and feet had been re-fixed.

Lu Yunzhou put on his coat, fastened his stab-proof vest, and grabbed the headset from the table.

"lead the way."

Ye Zhiwei watched his retreating figure, gritted her teeth, picked up her medicine box, and followed him.

A few white lights were on in the underground passage, and the lingering smell of medicinal mist still hung on the walls.

Every few steps Lu Yunzhou took, a tingling pain would come from his shoulder.

He pressed himself against the wall, using it to descend the last few steps before regaining his balance.

The interrogation room contained only a metal table, two chairs, and a camera mounted in the corner.

Ning Shuang sat in a specially made interrogation chair, her wrists fixed to the armrests and her ankles strapped.

A black eye mask was placed on the corner of the table, with a soundproof face mask pressed down beside it.

There were several marks on the side of her ear, her hair was loose over her shoulders, and her face was expressionless.

Bai Wantang stood guard by the door, the bandage on her shoulder already seeping blood, her hand still pressing on the hilt of the knife.

"Go change the dressing."

Lu Yunzhou glanced at her.

Bai Wantang didn't move, her gaze fixed on Ning Shuang.

Lu Yunzhou raised his hand, gesturing for her to leave.

Bai Wantang then sheathed her sword and left.

Ye Zhiwei closed the door and stood beside Lu Yunzhou.

Lu Yunzhou pulled out a chair and sat down, then pushed a USB drive onto the table.

He first asked Ning Shuang why she joined Fengming Group, and then asked her what she was investigating as the risk control director.

He then recounted the time and place of Ning Shuang's approach to Xiao Sihai, as well as the details of the three assassination attempts.

Ning Shuang remained silent.

Ye Zhiwei flipped through the access control records on the table, and the papers were scattered on the metal tabletop.

It contains details about Ning Shuang's access to the back gate of Fengming, the underground parking garage, and the riverside service villas.

Lu Yunzhou arranged the three records by date and then pulled up the surveillance screenshots.

The image of Ning Shuang standing in the underground parking garage of Fengming was placed at the top.

"So what if we found out?"

Ning Shuang raised her eyes, her tone flat.

Lu Yunzhou demanded that she reveal what she knew.

Ning Shuang leaned back in her chair and uttered, "I won't say anything."

Lu Yunzhou did not resort to torture.

He picked up the old nameplate on the table, flipped it in his palm, and then looked up at Ning Shuang.

"I can let you see Sister Lan."

Ning Shuang's wrists tensed, and the straps made a soft rustling sound.

Lu Yunzhou noticed this reaction and continued to explain that Sister Lan was still alive.

He could arrange a meeting for Ning Shuang as long as she was willing to see him.

Ning Shuang looked up at him and finally spoke, "What are you going to use to make arrangements?"

Her gaze fell on Lu Yunzhou, her tone laced with sarcasm.

"You gained authority through Feng Qianyi's marriage certificate and paved your way with Su Qingwan's influence. The women around you give you money and shield you from harm. You've used all of that, and you dare to touch Gray Tower?"

She paused for a moment, then tried to pull her wrist outward.

"If something happens to them, you won't even know how you died."

Ye Zhiwei kicked aside the chair next to her and placed her hand on the short blade at her waist.

Say it again.

Lu Yunzhou raised his hand to block her.

"Step back. She's trying to provoke you."

Ye Zhiwei gritted her teeth, her chest heaving twice, her hand still not leaving the hilt of the knife.

Lu Yunzhou turned back to Ning Shuang, his tone becoming more direct.

"Who I marry, or whose influence I rely on, is none of your business. You only need to answer one thing: will you see Sister Lan?"

Ning Shuang turned her face to the wall, refusing to look at him anymore.

Lu Yunzhou took out his phone and pulled up the Gray Tower file that Bai Wantang had given him.

"You can keep quiet. I'll hand over the old case materials to the former subordinates of Ravenfeather and let the living judge for themselves what you did back then."

Ning Shuang's breath hitched for a second.

She suddenly jerked her wrists outward, the metal buckles clanging, and the calm on her face was shattered.

"Do you dare tell anyone about that?"

"I dare."

Ning Shuang looked up at him, her shoulders lifted from the back of the chair, and her voice lowered.

"I, Ning Shuang, am not afraid of death. What I fear is you revealing the truth."

Ye Zhiwei stared at her and immediately pressed her for the truth.

Ning Shuang closed her mouth tightly and turned her gaze back to the USB drive.

Lu Yunzhou asked her several times, but she stopped responding.

Footsteps came from outside the door.

Bai Wantang changed her bandages and walked in with two Yuanchuan security guards.

Lu Yunzhou stood up and made way for him.

Ning Shuang's wrists were still bound by chains after the straps on the back of the chair were removed.

She stopped when she reached the door.

"Lu Yunzhou, you still don't know who the real port approver of Fengming is."

Lu Yunzhou stopped in his tracks.

Ning Shuang didn't turn around; her voice carried along the underground passage.

"By the time you find that person, Fengming will have already changed owners."

Bai Wantang pushed her as they continued walking towards the isolation room.

Ning Shuang didn't speak again. The chains dragged across the ground, and the sound gradually faded away.

Lu Yunzhou stood at the door of the interrogation room, his phone screen still showing the Gray Tower file page.

Feng Qianyi is in charge of group decision-making, Ning Shuang is in charge of risk control, and Gu Nanqiao is in charge of the port area project.

Gu Nanqiao was familiar with the defenses of Donggang, had obtained the application documents from Nanwan, and even took a pay cut to join Yuanchuan.

Her resume is clean, and her abilities are impeccable.

The person Ke Ningshuang mentioned is the actual port approver for Fengming.

Lu Yunzhou returned to the table and pulled out the Yuanchuan project documents.

He pulled out Gu Nanqiao's employment file and placed it on top of the list.

He held the photo down, not turning the page for a long time.

Gu Nanqiao, what are you still hiding from me?
