Good People and Bad People, Hard to Tell Apart

Lu Chengwen had Zhao Gang gather all their subordinates, ready to be deployed at any moment.

He dialed Leng Qingqiu's number again.

"What do you want now? Getting back together with Chen Mengyun is your business, don't bother me!"

"I'm not trying to get back together, I really have an urgent matter to discuss with you. Chen Mengyun is in danger, extremely dangerous. Only Long Aotian can save her now, so we must find Long Aotian."

"Her situation has nothing to do with me, I don't know her well."

"Then do you know me well? Even if we aren't friends, we've... we've been interacting for over three years, haven't we?"

Lu Chengwen was truly desperate. "Just consider it me begging you, can you do me a favor?"

Leng Qingqiu sighed. "The landlord of that place is back and said Long Aotian has already checked out."

Lu Chengwen's mind went blank.

Chen Mengyun running off like this had turned her into a kite with a broken string, leaving not a single clue.

Leng Qingqiu asked, "What kind of danger is she in?"

Lu Chengwen replied, "In short, if I can't find her tonight, this book will completely collapse."

"What are you talking about?"

Lu Chengwen said, "I'm going to die."

"Long Aotian was just a bodyguard I fired, he shouldn't know Chen Mengyun!"

Right!

Lu Chengwen only then remembered that the plot hadn't reached that point yet. This situation was triggered by himself. If he found Long Aotian, that guy would probably be completely clueless.

He probably didn't even know Chen Mengyun yet!

Leng Qingqiu felt that Lu Chengwen was being very serious and very anxious.

She said earnestly, "I can help you check Hu Shuhui's itinerary."

"Great! Hurry, hurry, I'll be waiting!"

Leng Qingqiu was very efficient and found out that Hu Shuhui had booked a suite at the Tianhailan Grand Hotel an hour ago.

Lu Chengwen left a message: "Thank you for your great help."

Leng Qingqiu quickly asked, "What are you going to do?"

But Lu Chengwen had already hung up the phone.

Lu Chengwen, along with over thirty security guards, stormed directly into the Tianhailan Grand Hotel.

There was no one who could stop them.

Lu Chengwen, like a determined gangster ready to make a move, led the way. The group of over thirty headed straight for the top floor.

The hotel security dared not block them, and the front desk quickly called the police.

Arriving at the suite door, he had the server knock. The server couldn't get it open. Hu Shuhui inside was clearly flustered, yelling at the server from inside, trying to get them to leave.

Lu Chengwen forced the server to use their card to unlock the door and then rushed in. Before Hu Shuhui could even finish a sentence, Lu Chengwen had already knocked him over with a punch.

Looking at the half-eaten feast, the candlelight, and the red wine in the dining room...

Lu Chengwen's anger flared. He pointed at Hu Shuhui and commanded, "Drag him out and beat him! Drag him out and beat him until he's half dead!"

Hu Shuhui lay on the ground, shouting, "Lu Chengwen, how dare you hit me? I am—!"

Zhao Gang didn't care about any of that. His belief was simple and pure.

Lu Chengwen was heaven, Lu Chengwen was god, Lu Chengwen was the only person in this world worth his loyalty and admiration.

Let alone Hu Shuhui, even if they were in hell, as long as Lu Chengwen gave the order, he would grab a cleaver and chase after the King of Hell himself.

Zhao Gang dragged Hu Shuhui out. Most of the thirty-odd people couldn't even get close. Hu Shuhui's screams were annoying.

One of the men thoughtfully closed the suite door.

Lu Chengwen walked into the inner room, calling out as he went, "Mengyun! Mengyun!"

The suite was quite large, but it wasn't difficult to find Chen Mengyun.

At this moment, Chen Mengyun was lying on the large bed, her clothes disheveled, writhing like a snake.

Her perfect figure was simply breathtaking.

Her shapely legs were pressed tightly together, clenching the quilt and moving back and forth.

Her skin was soaked with sweat, making it luminous and slick, further enhancing her allure.

Chen Mengyun's face was frighteningly flushed, her breathing heavy. Seeing Lu Chengwen, a sliver of clarity seemed to return to her mind.

"Brother Chengwen... save... save me..."

Lu Chengwen felt both hatred and heartache.

He quickly took off his jacket, covered Chen Mengyun with it, and then scooped her up to carry her out.

Chen Mengyun knew she had been saved.

Her mind was fuzzy right now, but knowing it was Lu Chengwen, she already had a sense of things.

However, her primal instincts still made her emit sounds like a kitten, which to Lu Chengwen, felt like a kitten gently scratching his heart.

Chen Mengyun clung tightly to Lu Chengwen's neck. But after all the commotion, Lu Chengwen was covered in sweat. That masculine scent of his acted like a stimulant, making Chen Mengyun's heart flutter and her utterly captivated.

The powerful charm of male hormones sent her stimulation levels through the roof. Chen Mengyun nuzzled and rubbed against Lu Chengwen's neck obsessively, and finally, she just held him, kissing and touching him...

Lu Chengwen walked to the doorway, and all the security guards moved aside. Hu Shuhui quickly begged for mercy, "Chengwen, we're old friends, spare me this time, I..."

Lu Chengwen kicked him in the face and headed straight for the elevator.

His private villa.

Lu Chengwen couldn't calm Chen Mengyun down no matter what.

He had given her three bottles of water, washed her face, and wiped her chest, but nothing seemed to work.

Chen Mengyun was completely lost at this point, actively seducing Lu Chengwen and indirectly asking for more.

When Xu Xuejiao entered the room, Chen Mengyun was still clinging to Lu Chengwen, touching him all over and whispering in his ear, "Brother, I'm so upset, come here! Save me, good guy, you're the best..."

Xu Xuejiao's face darkened, "Lu Chengwen, you've got some nerve! Sister Mengyun, you'd use this kind of tactic?"

Lu Chengwen was sweating profusely, "Use your brain. If I had this intention, why would I call you here?"

Xu Xuejiao frowned and nodded, "What exactly happened?"

"Save her first, I'll explain later."

Lu Chengwen held Chen Mengyun down as Xu Xuejiao administered a sedative.

Although the effect wasn't immediate, Chen Mengyun became much calmer, still clinging to Lu Chengwen with a dazed look.

After a whole night of this.

Xu Xuejiao truly was a renowned doctor. Usually, she might seem eccentric, but when it came to medicine and treatment, she became incredibly serious and solemn.

Chen Mengyun finally settled down, and both Xu Xuejiao and Lu Chengwen were exhausted.

The police also knocked on the door.

Zhang Shen'er arrested Lu Chengwen once again.

In the police holding cell, Lu Chengwen thought about many things.

He couldn't continue like this.

His connection with these several major female characters had become too close.

Locking Long Aotian in solitary for a day changed nothing. Instead, he had saved Jiang Shihan's mother; recovered over two billion in losses for Leng Qingqiu; beaten up Hu Shuhui and saved Chen Mengyun from almost being violated; and he had been involved with Xu Xuejiao multiple times throughout the day...

Oh, and he had been to the police station twice in one day.

Things shouldn't be like this!

The plot shouldn't be like this!

If I can't deal with you, can't I just avoid you?

Tomorrow, I'll buy a plane ticket and go straight to Nanguo, Dongwu, Xishu, Xiliang...

If that doesn't work, I'll just go international!

I'll go to Ukraine, to Donbas, to Kashmir... anywhere will do, right?

After three, five, ten, or eight years, maybe I just won't come back.

I'm rich, I can live a life of luxury and pleasure anywhere! What am I still messing around with here in Xuecheng City? If this continues, I'll eventually be killed by Long Aotian.

Yes, that's settled!

You want to consolidate the four major families of Xuecheng City?

Take it, take it all, it's all yours! I won't compete with you; it's all yours from now on.

Who had drugged Chen Mengyun, Lu Chengwen or Hu Shuhui, became an unsolved mystery.

Hu Shuhui would never admit it. The crime was too serious; he couldn't and wouldn't confess. Just the Chen family's retaliation would be unbearable for him.

So, he insisted he knew nothing, that Chen Mengyun had sought him out proactively, and then Lu Chengwen had come to beat him up.

Lu Chengwen naturally said it was Hu Shuhui, but there was no evidence.

Chen Mengyun's own testimony also pointed to Hu Shuhui, saying Lu Chengwen had warned her not to go.

However, instead of being exonerated, it became proof of Lu Chengwen's significant suspicion.

Right, Lu Chengwen, are you a fortune teller, or are you possessed?

Before the other person even ate, you knew they would be drugged? Are you some kind of mystic Lu?

But Lu Chengwen did nothing later on, and he even found Xu Xuejiao to help Chen Mengyun detoxify.

Leng Qingqiu also provided testimony, saying Lu Chengwen urgently sought her out, found the hotel where they were eating, and then went to save someone.

In short, it was a mess.

Zhang Shen'er refused to believe for a second that Lu Chengwen had such good intentions.

He would save someone? Heh, don't be ridiculous. The drug must have been administered by him.

It must have been a problem with some part of the process that caused him to switch from doing something bad to saving someone at the last minute.

But Leng Qingqiu, Chen Mengyun, and Xu Xuejiao... the three women involved in this case all said in unison that Lu Chengwen was saving people.

This made Zhang Shen'er want to vomit blood.

What methods had Lu Chengwen used? The daughters of the three major families were all desperately protecting him?

These three women had all achieved extraordinary things in their respective fields.

Of course, they came from wealthy families and had received higher education from a young age, so their platforms were higher than ordinary people, making their achievements normal.

Logically speaking, their vision, perspective, thinking, and IQ should all be much higher than average.

But why were they all being played for fools by Lu Chengwen!?

It was infuriating!

Especially Leng Qingqiu. To be honest, Leng Qingqiu had been the idol of all the girls in Xuecheng City before.

She was the typical "child of someone else's parents."

Wasn't she completely at odds with Lu Chengwen, to the point of being disgusted almost to the breaking point? What was going on with her today? She had gotten involved too, and was testifying vehemently, proving Lu Chengwen was being framed.

In any case, the scene had already been compromised, evidence was missing, and it would take a long time to break this case.

And with the principle of innocent until proven guilty, they couldn't do anything to Lu Chengwen or Hu Shuhui.

Lu Chengwen slept for a night in the detention cell. His hair was messy, his clothes were wrinkled, and he walked out without even washing his face.

As soon as he got out, he saw Leng Qingqiu, Xu Xuejiao, and Jiang Shihan all waiting there.

Jiang Shihan quickly walked over, and her assistant team immediately took Lu Chengwen's coat and draped a new set of clothes on him.

Jiang Shihan asked with concern, "Mr. Lu, are you alright?"

"Oh, I'm fine." Lu Chengwen looked at Leng Qingqiu and Xu Xuejiao, "Why are you both here?"

Xu Xuejiao smiled and said, "To testify for you! You have no idea how much effort I put in, using half a ton of saliva to prove you're a good person!"

"Thank you."

Lu Chengwen looked at Leng Qingqiu, "I'm sorry for dragging you through this all night."

"It's nothing." Leng Qingqiu was as calm as ever, looking at Zhang Shen'er, "Can we go now?"

Zhang Shen'er said with a stern face, "Of course. But you, Lu Chengwen."

"Yes."

Zhang Shen'er held up a restraining order and said, "Until this case is solved, you are not allowed to leave Xuecheng City. If you need to go abroad for any reason, you must obtain our approval. And during this period, you must guarantee that you will be available whenever summoned."

Lu Chengwen was shocked.

This is over! I was just planning to escape this city!

Damn, this way, I have to stay in Xuecheng City and compete for women with Long Aotian?

Xu Xuejiao chuckled.

Leng Qingqiu narrowed her eyes: Could this guy also hear Lu Chengwen's thoughts?

Zhang Shen'er had misunderstood.

She thought Lu Chengwen was the mastermind of this case and was trying to escape to avoid legal sanctions.

She smiled and said, "Lu Chengwen, do you want to run? You can't escape. I will definitely find evidence and formally arrest you to go to jail."

Lu Chengwen nodded.

Good luck, you silly woman.

You don't arrest the real bad guys and you're picking on me all day. But it's good too, the more you hate me, the safer I am.

Zhang Shen'er thought, what's wrong with this guy? Why is he safer when I hate him?

And who is this Long Aotian he keeps mentioning?

He seems convinced that I will know Long Aotian.

This is a clue, I must remember it!

Xu Xuejiao smiled and said, "Let's go, hero. You must be hungry, I'll treat you to a meal!"

Lu Chengwen smiled slightly.

Leng Qingqiu said, "I have something to do, I'm leaving first."

"Qingqiu."

Lu Chengwen called out to stop her.

"What's wrong?"

"Thank you," Lu Chengwen said with a smile. "Thank you for believing in me."

Leng Qingqiu looked at him. "You owe me one."

"Yes, yes, yes, I owe you. I'll treat you to a meal another day. No, wait, I can't treat you to a meal. I... I'll give you a gift instead. What do you want? A car? A gold watch? A designer coat?"

Leng Qingqiu said, "If you want to repay me, then get engaged to me."

"Oh, no problem, I'll just... What did you say!?"

Lu Chengwen then shouted.
