Just as Leng Qingqiu's lips were about to touch Lu Chengwen, Lu Chengwen couldn't hold back and dodged away from her cheek.

He grumbled, "Dilly-dallying, I'm not in the mood anymore."

Leng Qingqiu was surprised to find a strong sense of disappointment surge within her.

What am I doing?

I'm actually going to kiss Lu Chengwen?

And he doesn't want me to, and I'm disappointed?

This idiot, do I annoy him that much?

For the past three years, if I even gave you a pleasant look, you'd jump three meters high.

Now you're so arrogant! You just know how to bully people!

Turning around, she saw Lu Chengwen's hands trembling as his back faced her.

Leng Qingqiu let out a chuckle.

This silly boy, so nervous? Hmph, trying to act like a big bad guy again, but you don't have much courage. You deserve to be single.

"Uh…"

Lu Chengwen flailed his fingers aimlessly. "Th-that's all for now, I have something to do, I'm leaving."

Lu Chengwen put on a brave face, but in reality, he fled as if escaping for his life. Zhao Gang sidled up to him. "Young Master Lu, how'd it go?"

"Shut up, let's go!"

Leng Qingqiu walked out from behind, shouting at Lu Chengwen with an indifferent expression:

"Young Master Lu!"

Lu Chengwen stopped.

"If you want to kiss again in the future, come find me."

Lu Chengwen looked at Leng Qingqiu, whose expression was calm, even carrying a hint of smugness, and clenched his fists.

Are you all death-seeking ghosts?

"Got it." Lu Chengwen turned and left, practically fleeing in disarray.

Leng Qingqiu could guess his mood from his retreating figure, probably wishing he had the Wind Fire Wheels if he could fly away to escape.

Leng Qingqiu burst into happy laughter.

Han Yue and the others beside her were utterly shocked!

Has their boss… lost his mind?

Lu Chengwen hadn't reached the elevator when the doors opened. A female police officer, accompanied by several officers, saw Lu Chengwen and immediately flashed her ID.

"Lu Chengwen, right?"

Lu Chengwen was incredibly frustrated.

Damn it! Is this day ever going to end?!

Another main heroine?

Seriously… damn it, Long Aotian, come out! I'll never lock you in the dark room again!

You're quiet now, but your women are taking turns tormenting me!

The great heroine, Zhang Shen'er.

When he was in school, she often reported him. If there was one person in this world who most wished Lu Chengwen would drop dead on the street, it would undoubtedly be Zhang Shen'er.

Unlike Leng Qingqiu and Xu Xuejiao's dislike, Zhang Shen'er hated him.

She hated her rich and willful self, her ability to bully people as she pleased, believing she shouldn't exist in this world.

According to the normal plot, she would have investigated his wrongdoings and infiltrated his company to find evidence. But he caught her.

He had planned to do… this… then that.

He drugged her and also prepared a coffin for her.

Undoubtedly, the angel of justice, the child of destiny, Long Aotian, appeared!

Just as he was about to succeed, he killed him and rescued Zhang Shen'er.

Then, what would happen to Zhang Shen'er, who was poisoned by an aphrodisiac?

Oh, what a coincidence, right? Long Aotian happened to have the antidote on him?

So, in a moment of helplessness, with no other options, cornered, and with no choice…

Long Aotian had no choice but to accept his fate, sacrifice himself, and with intense guilt, unwillingly, grinding his teeth… grudgingly… give her the antidote in an indescribable way.

Slap, slap, slap!

Applause is in order here!

The key point is, later on, Zhang Shen'er even got addicted to the antidote!

From then on, she became obsessed with the "detoxification" process, believing that only Long Aotian's detoxification artifact was the strongest, the best, and absolutely top-notch. She felt she couldn't live without it.

Lame!

This plot is so lame you can't even bear to look!

But so many people like it!

Lu Chengwen knew this.

According to the plot, this woman was the one who could truly send him to the underworld, the most dangerous of all the female leads!

He absolutely couldn't let his guard down.

"Oh, old classmate!" Lu Chengwen chuckled, "What a coincidence!"

"Someone called the police, reporting that the Lu family's eldest young master was openly committing assault here, even setting a schedule for beating people. Am I wrong?"

Lu Chengwen thought to himself:

This is bad. Zhang Shen'er hates me more stubbornly than any other girl.

The critical thing is I'm in a hurry to save someone right now, I can't be caught by her!

If she takes me away, won't Jiang Shihan's mother be doomed?

Zhang Shen'er was stunned. "What did you say?"

"Ah? Oh, I mean, as old classmates, hehe, can't you cut me some slack? Let me tell you, that Jiao Shiheng is a scoundrel. He indulges in drinking, womanizing, gambling, and all sorts of evil. He bullies people with his influence, thinking he's great just because he has some money, and he insults and plays with women. And he doesn't close the bathroom door when he goes..."

"We don't care if he closes the bathroom door or not. You assaulted someone. Come with me to the police station."

Lu Chengwen's forehead broke out in a sweat.

"Shen'er..."

"Call me Officer Zhang."

"Alright, Officer Zhang. I'm really in a hurry to save someone. Please be merciful and let me off the hook, okay? How about this, give me two hours, just two hours. I'll save the person and then turn myself in."

"Lu Chengwen, do you understand the law? The internet is vast, but does law enforcement need to schedule an appointment with you based on your availability? Stop talking nonsense. You can be arrested, and your sentence will be doubled!"

Lu Chengwen heard the click as the handcuffs were fastened.

"Shen'er, no, Officer Zhang. I know you dislike people like me, and honestly, I dislike myself too. But I'm really in a hurry to save someone today, it's a matter of life and death! Every time you catch me, don't I just pay a bail bond and get out? This time, please do me a favor, let's make an arrangement. If I save the person, it'll be for both of us. We'll split the credit for saving a life."

Zhang Shen'er wasn't a by-the-book police officer. She gave Lu Chengwen the middle finger and turned to leave.

In the car, Lu Chengwen spent the entire time explaining, but it was no use.

Zhang Shen'er genuinely disliked Lu Chengwen.

And she wasn't like Leng Qingqiu. Leng Qingqiu still considered the face of their two families, at least trying to make things easier for Lu Chengwen on the surface.

Zhang Shen'er wouldn't give Lu Chengwen any face at all. As he was being escorted onto the police car, she secretly landed a couple of blows on him.

Zhang Shen'er was trained. She had beaten up Lu Chengwen countless times when they were kids. Those couple of hits left Lu Chengwen gasping for air for a long time.

Lu Chengwen was locked up at the police station, gripping the bars and shouting, "Officer Zhang! I need to make a phone call! Can I make a phone call?"

Zhang Shen'er walked over with the registration book and smacked the hand Lu Chengwen was using to grip the bars. "Behave yourself! This is the police station, not your villa!"

Lu Chengwen blew on his fingers. "Officer Zhang, I know you're annoyed with me, but this isn't a personal grudge, it's a matter of life and death! Trust me this once, please, let me make a phone call. One phone call. If I'm lying to you, the worst that can happen is I get to make a phone call. If I'm not lying, you could save a life!"

Zhang Shen'er had never seen Lu Chengwen in this state or with this expression, and she rarely heard him earnestly beg someone.

She had arrested him a few times before, and he always seemed indifferent, staying in a private cell, eating high-class bento boxes, and walking out swaggeringly within a few hours, even boasting to her as he left.

Of course, the things Lu Chengwen did were mostly minor offenses, so according to procedure, he could be released on bail. He wasn't some notorious criminal operating outside the law.

Furthermore, the people he bullied usually accepted settlements, which was why he was so audacious.

But today, Lu Chengwen was completely different, indicating he was genuinely desperate.

Zhang Shen'er's face was stern as she looked at Lu Chengwen. Lu Chengwen met her gaze without flinching, his eyes sincere.

"Just one phone call, please."

"I'll make the call. Say the number."

Lu Chengwen gave Xu Xuejiao's number.

Zhang Shen'er dialed suspiciously, and when someone answered, it was indeed Xu Xuejiao's voice.

With a stern face, she handed the phone over to the bars.

Lu Chengwen couldn't stick his head out, so he tried his best to get his mouth close. "Little sister Xuejiao? Are you listening?"

"Mmm, I'm listening. Something you need, handsome?"

"Hahaha, I actually do need a favor from you."

"Mmm, go ahead."

Lu Chengwen said, "My secretary, Jiang Shihan, do you remember her? The one who knelt before me in the lounge today."

Zhang Shen'er rolled her eyes. She absolutely detested Lu Chengwen's actions, forcing his subordinate to kneel – what a scumbag!

"Mm, I remember. What's up?"

"Listen to me, her mother's illness has flared up, it's very serious, and you have to help him. That brat Long Aotian disappeared somewhere, this was supposed to be his job, but he won't show up today. Jiang Shihan's mother is in critical condition, can you go take a look for me?"

"How should I look?"

"You'll know her mother's illness as soon as you see it. It's very rare, but you can cure it."

"Oh? Young Master Lu cares so much about his subordinates?"

"Sister, stop teasing me. Saving people is the priority!"

"I'm not going."

"Not going?!"

"I'm not familiar with her, and I don't treat just anyone's illness, you know that."

"Think of it as helping me, okay? Help me out, save her mother once, and I'll pay you for the consultation, double the usual fee."

"Do I lack that little bit of money?"

"Yes, yes, yes. How about this, you help me this once, and I'll owe you a favor. I'll repay you by working like a horse and dog in the future, okay?"

"Oh? You're begging me?"

"Yes!" Lu Chengwen was almost driven to despair.

"I'm begging you, you're my grandma, my great-grandma, my ancestral great-grandma! Please help me, I'll kowtow to you right here!"

"Hahaha, I have no interest in being your ancestral great-grandma, but if you beg me, you have to do it properly."

"Can you wait until I get out to discuss it? Save the person first."

"You agree to one condition, and I'll save her."

"Say it!"

"Transfer all your shares in the Ninth Pharmaceutical Factory to me, without asking for a single cent."

Lu Chengwen closed his eyes.

The Ninth Pharmaceutical Factory was valued at over thirty billion yuan, and his shares were worth about seventeen billion yuan.

"Okay, I agree."

"A deal?"

"A deal, a deal."

"Come over and sign the contract."

Lu Chengwen roared, "I'm stuck in the police station! How can I come over and sign a contract with you? Save the person first! Save her first! I'll give you all the shares in the factory, I don't want them anymore!"

Xu Xuejiao, on the other end, suppressed a laugh.

At that very moment, she was already in Jiang Shihan's mother's ward. She had stabilized Jiang Shihan's mother's condition, and the person was now stable.

She had also arranged to personally perform surgery on her mother next week.

Only Lu Chengwen remained, anxious like an ant on a hot pan.

Jiang Shihan was completely stunned.

Over seventeen billion yuan!? Even if she sold herself piece by piece, she wouldn't be worth seventeen billion yuan!

That was a fortune that an ordinary person couldn't earn in a lifetime, no, not even in ten or a hundred lifetimes!

To save her mother, President Lu... was he really willing to sacrifice so much?

As if to ensure Lu Chengwen wouldn't stop worrying, Xu Xuejiao deliberately spoke slowly, "It's still not very convincing. You, you're not always reliable. Is a mere secretary worth this to you?"

Lu Chengwen was so angry he felt like exploding. Gritting his teeth, he said, "Because I like her, okay? I love her, I've set my sights on her! I want to... bring her home as my wife. Is that acceptable?"

Xu Xuejiao raised an eyebrow: "Oh? Really?"

She looked up at Jiang Shihan, who was already dumbfounded.
