From rejecting the beautiful female CEO to becoming extremely powerful

Lilith did not leave.

She carried her handbag into the living room and turned back to close the bedroom door.

The heels tapped on the floor, making a series of sounds.

Lu Yunzhou stood still, watching her movements.

"Can we talk now?"

Lilith pointed to the sofa.

Lu Yunzhou walked over and sat down, leaning back in his chair with his hands on his knees.

He didn't relax; his gaze remained fixed on Lilith.

Lilith opened her purse, took out a small silver bottle, uncapped it, and sprayed it onto her wrist.

The sweet aroma quickly spread.

Lu Yunzhou's throat tightened, his vision blurred, and even his breathing became erratic.

He raised his hand to brace himself against the edge of the table, deliberately lowering his voice: "What did you use on me?"

Lilith sat down opposite him and stared at his face.

"Something to make you speak honestly."

She put the perfume bottle back into her bag with a relaxed motion.

Lu Yunzhou closed his eyes and let his internal energy circulate through his meridians.

The fragrance that entered the nasal cavity was enveloped by true energy, turning into a faint tingling sensation, which then dissipated completely.

He remained leaning back in his chair, but deliberately let his shoulders droop.

Lilith looked at it for a few seconds, and the wariness in her eyes subsided.

She was convinced that Lu Yunzhou couldn't resist the fragrance.

"You were able to marry Feng Qianyi because she supported you."

Lilith picked up the water glass on the table but didn't drink it. "The Feng family is covering up your losses with the businesses you own. The Feng family is arranging the house you live in. To put it bluntly, you're just a shield she's using to block Bai Jingchuan."

Lu Yunzhou raised his head, a hint of panic on his face.

"What exactly are you trying to say?"

Lilith took a black bank card out of her bag and pushed it to the center of the table.

"There are 20 million US dollars in the card, the account is overseas, and the money can be transferred at any time."

Lu Yunzhou stared at the card, his Adam's apple bobbing.

Lilith noticed this reaction and her tone became even more direct.

"Take the money, divorce Feng Qianyi. Leave Sheng'an within three days, and never come back."

Lu Yunzhou clenched the fabric on his knees, deliberately feigning hesitation.

"If Feng Qianyi doesn't sign, my decision alone doesn't count."

"She will sign."

Lilith raised her chin, her tone authoritative.

"Bai Jingchuan wants her to get a divorce, and she doesn't dare to delay too long. You just need to remove your name from the marriage certificate, and you don't need to worry about the rest."

Lu Yunzhou reached out and touched the card, then quickly withdrew his hand.

"What if I don't leave?"

Lilith's face fell.

"The day Bai Jingchuan arrives in Sheng'an will be the day you lose your life."

The living room was quiet for a few seconds.

Lu Yunzhou lowered his head and pressed his palm against his forehead.

He deliberately made his breathing heavy and his voice tremble.

Give me some time.

"how long?"

"Three days."

Lilith stared at him for a while, making sure he didn't have the guts to resist, before pushing the black card closer.

"Think it through. Twenty million US dollars is enough for you to start a new life somewhere else. If you stay in Sheng'an, you won't even be able to save your life."

Lu Yunzhou picked up the black card and deliberately trembled his hand.

"I'll consider it."

Lilith stood up and put away her purse.

She walked to the door, then stopped and looked back.

"Don't try anything funny. I can find out about the people around you too."

After saying that, she opened the door and went out.

Lu Yunzhou sat on the sofa until he heard the sound of a car leaving outside the courtyard gate before putting the black card back on the table.

The edges of the card smelled of perfume.

He picked up a tissue, wiped the card clean, and then looked up at the gate.

Aroma can indeed influence the consciousness of ordinary people.

For a martial artist at the True Qi Realm, such tricks can only fool the eyes.

When Lilith approached, she used her shoulders and back to stabilize herself, and her steps landed very lightly.

She possesses at least an eighth-rank skill level and has a solid foundation in external martial arts.

What Bai Jingchuan behind her was holding in his hand was something Lu Yunzhou couldn't figure out for the time being.

The sound of a car could be heard outside the courtyard.

Feng Qianyi's car was parked at the entrance.

She pushed open the door and entered the room, then stopped when she saw the black card on the table.

"What does Lilith want with you?"

Feng Qianyi put down the documents in her hand and lowered her brows.

Lu Yunzhou pushed the black card in front of her.

"She gave me twenty million US dollars to divorce you within three days and get out of Sheng'an."

Feng Qianyi picked up the black card, glanced at it, and then placed her palm on the table.

"You accepted it?"

"Keep it for now, so she won't become suspicious."

Lu Yunzhou leaned back on the sofa, the panic on his face gone.

"She just used a sleeping potion to make sure I'm not just a freeloader. If I turned hostile on the spot, she wouldn't reveal her true colors."

Feng Qianyi stared at him, her gaze darkening.

"What exactly does Bai Jingchuan want to do?"

"I'm forcing you to get a divorce, and incidentally, getting rid of me, who's standing in your way."

Lu Yunzhou repeated what Lilith had said, then took out his phone.

"You gave me 3 billion to deter Bai Jingchuan from making any rash moves. The fact that she offered 20 million to get rid of me shows that Bai Jingchuan doesn't take the Feng family seriously."

Feng Qianyi pressed down on the corner of the document, causing the paper to wrinkle.

"What are you planning to do?"

"Delay for three days and find out Bai Jingchuan's background."

Lu Yunzhou stood up and stuffed the black card into the drawer.

"He sent someone to threaten me, and I accepted it. I'll wait until he reveals his true colors before I make my move."

Feng Qianyi looked up at him.

"You can't gamble with your life."

"He has already put the money for buying his life on my table."

Lu Yunzhou took out another phone, his tone direct.

"I will get my money back with interest."

The call was connected very quickly.

Bai Wantang's voice came through the receiver, with the sound of vehicles driving in the background.

"Boss, something's happened?"

"Investigate Bai Jingchuan."

Lu Yunzhou walked to the window and looked at the streetlights outside the courtyard wall.

"Open up all of Ravenfeather's intelligence networks. Investigate his businesses, funds, manpower, and his relationship with Ninth Master."

Bai Wantang paused for a moment.

"How far should the investigation go?"

"Dig up everything he could use to kill."

Lu Yunzhou's tone showed no hesitation whatsoever.

"I need to know how many men he brought from Kyoto, how many guns he has, and who is willing to risk their lives for him."

Bai Wantang gripped the earphones, her voice deepening.

"Is three days enough?"

"It has to be enough, whether it's enough or not."

Lu Yunzhou looked at the black card on the table.

"Investigate the Bai family in Kyoto first, then investigate Bai Jingchuan personally. Don't alert him; get the information to me exactly as it is."

"clear."

Bai Wantang turned on her computer and accessed the old Ya Yu channel.

The long-dormant communication network gradually came online, and intelligence agents scattered across various locations began to take orders again.

Feng Qianyi stood behind Lu Yunzhou, listened to the call, and then reached for the documents on the table.

"Leave this to me; I can leverage my connections with the Feng family."

Lu Yunzhou turned to look at her.

"You need to stabilize the group first. If Bai Jingchuan really makes a move, Fengming Group will definitely be implicated."

Feng Qianyi did not refute, but simply put the documents into her bag.

"You can't let the three days you promised Lilith turn into three months."

"I'll only give him three days."
