From rejecting the beautiful female CEO to becoming extremely powerful

As Xu Chengan's roar subsided, all the police officers in the hall turned around.

Li Zhenhua placed the case file on the table and led two police officers to the front of the crowd.

The lawyer behind Xu Chengan immediately stepped forward, ready to use his identity and a lawyer's letter to intimidate him.

Li Zhenhua raised his hand to block them, his voice echoing throughout the hall: "The case has been solved. The deceased, Zhang Tieniu, suffered a sudden and serious illness before his death. He died before entering the old port of Nanwan, and his body was placed on a crane to stage an accident. We have checked Yuanchuan Construction's schedules, accounts, equipment, and construction permits, and found no violations."

After he finished speaking, his gaze fell on Cheng Ye.

"Chengye can leave, and Yuanchuan can resume construction."

Cheng Ye gripped the hem of his clothes, his shoulders slumping.

Lu Yunzhou stood to the side, his expression unchanged, the tension in his heart finally eased.

Xu Chengan's face was extremely ugly.

He paid someone to create a fake identity, arranged for fake family members to cause trouble, and sent Cheng Ye to the interrogation room. He originally wanted to frame Yuan Chuan for murder and completely lose Nanwan Old Port.

Who would have thought that Wu Jian'an would be arrested first, and all the evidence would fall into the hands of the police?

He stared at Li Zhenhua, his chest heaving: "What benefits did you receive from Yuanchuan that you dare to claim a murder was caused by a sudden illness?"

Li Zhenhua's brows furrowed.

"Young Master Xu, the evidence is all in the case file. If you're not satisfied, go ahead and sue us in court."

Upon hearing these words, Xu Chengan immediately clenched his fist.

He brought his lawyer to the police station, intending to force the police to re-detain Cheng Ye and drag Lu Yunzhou into the case again.

Now that they haven't managed to detain the person, they've uncovered all of Xu's accounts, fake identities, and the arrangements for hiring a hitman.

He vented all his anger on Lu Yunzhou and walked over.

Lu Yunzhou stood still, not even lifting his eyelids.

Xu Chengan stopped in front of him, raised his arm, and punched Lu Yunzhou in the face.

Cheng Ye's expression changed, and he was about to remind Lu Yunzhou when Lu Yunzhou moved aside.

Xu Chengan's punch grazed his collar and missed.

Lu Yunzhou lifted his right foot, and the sole of his shoe slammed into Xu Chengan's left knee.

The sound of bones cracking echoed through the hall.

Xu Chengan's legs immediately lost strength, and his body fell forward, his knees slamming heavily onto the floor tiles.

"what!"

He clutched his left leg, his body trembling uncontrollably.

His suit trousers were quickly soaked with dark sweat, and his earlier arrogance vanished completely.

The four lawyers stood frozen in place, while the two bodyguards took half a step forward, only to be stopped by surrounding police officers who raised their guns.

Xu Cheng'an gritted his teeth and looked up: "Lu Yunzhou, do you dare to cripple me in the police station?"

Lu Yunzhou looked down at him and pointed to the high-definition surveillance camera above the hall.

"You attacked first, I just dodged and then kicked back. The surveillance footage is clear, it was self-defense."

Li Zhenhua glanced at the surveillance camera, then looked at Xu Chengan kneeling on the ground.

"Xu Cheng'an attacked first, and Mr. Lu's counterattack did not exceed the necessary limits. Call an ambulance first, and deal with other matters after the injury assessment is completed."

After hearing this, Xu Chengan tried to stand up by supporting himself with his hands on the ground.

As soon as he exerted force with his left leg, a sharp pain shot up to his head, and he knelt back down.

This time, he didn't even have the energy to curse.

Lu Yunzhou withdrew his gaze, patted Cheng Ye on the shoulder, and led him out of the hall.

Cheng Ye glanced back, quickened his pace, and the pent-up frustration that had been weighing on his chest for days finally dissipated.

There's a small restaurant near the police station.

Not long after the two sat down, Cheng Ye ordered a table full of hot dishes and even opened two bottles of baijiu (Chinese liquor).

Lu Yunzhou picked up his cup and clinked it against his.

Cheng Ye tilted his head back and finished drinking, his eyes reddening, and he picked up food much faster.

There were no celebratory shouts at the meal, only the clatter of bowls and chopsticks and suppressed laughter.

Halfway through the meal, Lu Yunzhou's phone rang.

The screen displayed Feng Qianyi's name.

He wiped his hands and answered the phone.

Feng Qianyi's voice came through: "I'm off work, come pick me up."

Lu Yunzhou glanced at Cheng Ye on the table, and his tone immediately softened: "I'll go over now."

He hung up the phone, picked up his car keys, and got up.

Cheng Ye swallowed the food in his mouth, waved to him, and indicated that he would go back to the construction site after he finished eating.

Lu Yunzhou drove his Maybach to the Fengming Group building.

Feng Qianyi stood by the steps in a dark suit, holding documents in her hand. The fatigue on her face was clearly visible in the light.

She opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat. As soon as the door closed, the atmosphere inside the car immediately became tense.

As soon as Lu Yunzhou stepped on the gas, Feng Qianyi placed the documents on her lap.

"Someone died in the old port of South Bay, and you've kept it a secret until now?"

She turned her head and her gaze fell on Lu Yunzhou.

Lu Yunzhou gripped the steering wheel, his hands tense: "We just found out today. Cheng Ye has been released, and the construction site can resume work tomorrow."

Feng Qianyi didn't reply, but pressed a crease into the edge of the document with her fingertip.

He glanced at her in the rearview mirror and slowed down: "I don't want you to get involved in the bloodshed of the underworld. Fengming already has enough trouble. You just focus on the company; I'll handle the dirty work outside."

Feng Qianyi turned her head and stared at the streetlights outside the car window.

"If you consider me your wife, you should have told me first."

Her voice was lower, but her anger was still there.

Lu Yunzhou's Adam's apple bobbed slightly: "I misjudged the situation. I'll tell you immediately if anything happens in the future."

Feng Qianyi remained silent for a moment before finally releasing the document from her hand.

"If this happens again, don't wait until I hear it from someone else."

"it is good."

She didn't press further, and the tension in the carriage eased somewhat.

Lu Yunzhou reached out and turned on the heater, adjusting it to her preferred temperature.

Feng Qianyi looked at his profile, paused for a few seconds, and then looked back out the window.

The Maybach drove into the Feng family villa.

After the car came to a stop, Lu Yunzhou got out and opened the car door for her.

Feng Qianyi entered the room in high heels, and Lu Yunzhou followed behind, taking the documents from her hands.

Feng Qianyi did not refuse.

Upon entering the living room, Lu Yunzhou placed the documents on the table and turned to walk towards the guest room next to the stairs.

He spent half the night at the police station and still smelled of restaurant food, so he planned to wash up and rest.

He had just stepped onto two steps when Feng Qianyi called out to him from behind.

"where did you go?"

Lu Yunzhou turned around: "Guest room."

Feng Qianyi walked to the top of the stairs and raised her hand to block the way.

The anger she had just suppressed in the car resurfaced, and her gaze was so intense that no one dared to be perfunctory.

"Master bedroom."

Lu Yunzhou stopped on the steps and raised his eyebrows slightly.

Feng Qianyi took a step forward, getting closer: "You've got your marriage certificate but you're still sleeping in separate rooms? Who are you planning to make a fool of yourself in front of everyone?"

Lu Yunzhou touched the bridge of his nose and tried to explain, "I was just afraid of disturbing your rest."

Stop making excuses.

Feng Qianyi reached out and grabbed his sleeve, pulling him down the steps.

The action itself wasn't forceful, but the attitude left no room for negotiation.

"Go to the master bedroom tonight. If you dare to go into the guest room, I'll throw all your things out tomorrow."

Lu Yunzhou looked at her tense face, her eyes filled with exhaustion, but her hand was still gripping his sleeve tightly.

He didn't say anything more, turned around, closed the guest room door, and followed Feng Qianyi upstairs.

Feng Qianyi pushed open the master bedroom door, stepped aside to make room for him, and her gaze fell on him.

"Go in."
