Why are you all trying to win over me, the male supporting character?

He didn't reply to Xu Qian much, only offering a couple of polite words.

As for Meng Wanyu...

I thought about it for a long time but still couldn't figure out how to reply.

"Should I say my phone died, or that work is more important, or..."

Lu Chengzhou lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling and making up excuses.

"Sigh, lying is so hard, and women are so difficult to deal with."

Just then, the room bell rang.

Lu Chengzhou sat up and asked warily, "Who is it?"

"Room Service."

"No need, please leave."

Lu Chengzhou usually doesn't open the door for strangers.

"Sir, please open the door." The person outside still wouldn't leave, persistently urging, "If you don't open the door, I won't leave. I'll wait here for you."

Lu Chengzhou was so annoyed by the noisy ringing that he couldn't stand it anymore.

So, I got up, got out of bed, and opened the door.

The moment his hand touched the doorknob, he felt a strong sense of impending danger.

He took a step back, his face grim.

The moment he opened the door, he struck the other person first, kicking him in the stomach and sending him crashing into the opposite wall.

"Who sent you?"

Looking at the strange man in front of him, dressed in a hotel waiter's uniform, Lu Chengzhou's expression turned unfriendly.

The knife lying on the ground gleamed coldly under the light.

The other person clutched his stomach and ran away without even picking up the knife!

"Hey, stop!"

Lu Chengzhou decisively gave chase.

406. I want to rebel properly this time.

There's no way we can catch up.

Lu Chengzhou wasn't very familiar with the terrain here, and after a few turns, he completely lost track of his target.

He stood at the entrance of the building, gazing at the empty corridor, his gaze darkening.

This was the first time Lu Chengzhou had ever encountered such a blatant assassination attempt.

After carefully analyzing the look in that person's eyes and the subtle expressions on their face when they were facing him, he felt that the possibility of accidental killing was very low.

Who is it?

Lu Chengzhou did not rule out the possibility that the women around him harbored murderous intent towards him.

But no matter how he thought about it, he felt that if he were to rank the people who "hated him so much that they wanted to kill him," the person at the top should be Lin Chen.

After their superficial brotherhood crumbled, Lin Chen's murderous intent towards him only grew stronger day by day.

If Lin Chen really did what he did today, then this assassination attempt was definitely not the only one.

Today is just the beginning.

"Has the time finally come for bloodshed?"

Lu Chengzhou took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

He opened his eyes again and gave a cold laugh.

"Young Master Lin, I really am a little reluctant to lay a hand on you."

However, the current situation is that he no longer has the choice.

Lin Chen's personality has always harbored a fatal flaw.

He is a paranoid person.

To achieve their goals, they might target those around Lu Chengzhou.

Before things escalate to that point, Lu Chengzhou hopes to take him down first.

Let's solve this problem once and for all!

……

……

The city at night is ablaze with lights and bustling activity.

The bustling, crowded streets of the day are now briefly quiet.

Lin Chen sat quietly by the flower bed, listening to the person in front of him report what had just happened.

"You mean, you didn't even touch the hem of their clothes, is that right?"

Lin Chen looked at him, puzzled.

"I spent so much money, bribing people in his winery, installing multiple surveillance cameras and listening devices, and finally got this opportunity to send you, a mercenary worth tens of millions, to kill someone, and you didn't even get close enough to touch the hem of their clothes, is that it?!"

Lin Chen actually laughed at the end of his sentence.

"You gave me a big surprise, I have to reward you."

Then, catching his opponent off guard, he pulled out a dagger and stabbed him.

The poor wretch, who had no idea he would be assassinated by his employer, clutched his stomach and collapsed.

Lin Chen looked down at him.

"Stop pretending to be dead, this injury is most likely not fatal."

"Wait a moment, your people will come to pick you up."

"Remember to have them wash the floor before they leave."

After saying those few words, Lin Chen turned and left.

The idea of ​​dealing with Lu Chengzhou wasn't something that had just formed, but it became the strongest at this very moment.

Initially hesitant to make a decision, his mind began to become increasingly distorted with each setback.

Human nature has begun to crumble.

Lin Chen is now surrounded by people who are bound to him with money; it's fair to say that none of them are truly sincere towards him.

Even after ending up in this situation, he still doesn't think he did anything wrong.

Only when he occasionally encountered Su Qiaoman at the Chamber of Commerce would he feel as if a single glance had lasted a lifetime, and that he had lost so much.

However, Su Qiaoman wouldn't even give him a second glance.

"Lu Chengzhou might be able to dodge it once, but he can't dodge it twice, three times..."

"Even if I can't kill him, I'll make him live in fear, just like me."

"Lu Chengzhou, we'll see."

Lin Chen returned to his residence.

He hadn't finished his official duties for the day, so he needed to hurry.

Outside the door stood a group of hired bodyguards.

They simply couldn't understand Lin Chen's need for bodyguards.

Is it reasonable for an ordinary rich kid to go out with nearly 20 bodyguards?

How guilty must he be to need such protection?

Tucao returns to Tucao.

Lin Chen offered a very high salary.

They might have a grudge against anyone, but they'd never have a grudge against money.

Just focus on doing your job well.

……

Another corner of the city.

In an ordinary budget hotel.

"Sigh, as expected, my senior isn't coming."

Xu Qian was also tossing and turning, unable to sleep at this time.

In fact, she could guess the possibility that Lu Chengzhou wouldn't come, and she had already mentally prepared herself for his absence.

However, the anticipation in my heart did not diminish with the passage of time; instead, it gradually increased.

"Should I send him a text message?"

Xu Qian took her phone out from under her pillow, about to send a text message to Lu Chengzhou, when she saw a text message from Lu Chengzhou.

Senior Lu: Go to bed early tonight. Don't open the door if a stranger knocks.

Xu Qian was a little confused when she saw this strange text message.

What stranger would knock on her door?

Senior Lu is being a little too cautious.

"Okay, I got it, I'll be careful!"

Although somewhat skeptical of Lu Chengzhou's words, Xu Qian still replied with a confirming text message.

After replying, Lu Chengzhou did not send her any further text messages.

Xu Qian held her phone, pondering many things she wanted to say, but ultimately didn't send them.
