Yan Heqing heard footsteps, but he was not intimidated. He would not provoke Lu Muchi without any protection.
He knew Lu Muchi's character well; old habits die hard. Even if Lu Muchi liked him, if he found he couldn't have him, he would still reveal his true nature and force him against his will.
Yan Heqing gazed at the road ahead, his heart beginning to race.
Today, besides confronting Lu Muchi, he also has to confront someone else.
He specifically mentioned the Luopu Winery, and with Lu Lin's intelligence, it must be somewhere here now.
He once asked Lu Lin, "Can you choose something more important than blood ties?"
We'll know the answer tonight.
If the other side of the scale is your biological father, brother, or nephew, would you still firmly choose me?
Nothing in this world is 100% certain.
Therefore, he dared not make a mistake in any step after his awakening, for one wrong step would mean his utter destruction.
But Lu Lin, he was willing to believe this once, and he was absolutely certain that Lu Lin would be his.
As Lu Muchi grabbed Yan Heqing's arm, Yan Heqing kept her eyes on the road.
At the same time, a beam of headlights pierced the darkness, approaching from afar.
They've arrived.

But it wasn't Lu Lin.
Two vans stopped one after the other, the doors opened, and several tall men in uniforms jumped out.
Holding a flashlight, he shouted, "Fireworks are prohibited here! Leave immediately..."
Staff members approached Lu Muchi directly, showed him their badges from the Ecological and Environmental Protection Bureau, and demanded that he immediately restore the mountain to its original state, inspect the mountaintop, and prevent a wildfire.
Yan Heqing was subtly stopped by them, but Yan Heqing didn't say anything and left on her own. Lu Muchi to chase after Yan Heqing, but was stopped by several staff members, "Hey, hey, don't try to run away! You're violating the North Bay Mountain..."
Seeing Yan Heqing reach the road intersection, Lu Muchi in fury, "Get out of my way! Do you know who I am?!"
The staff member's voice was even louder than his, "No matter who you are, violating regulations will be dealt with! Do you know how serious it is to start a wildfire!"
Lu Muchi completely overlooked the fact that if the proposal scene couldn't be set up on the North Bay Mountain, the planner would have contacted him long ago.
The staff surrounded him, preventing him from getting away completely, and he could only watch helplessly as Yan Heqing walked away.
On the other side, Yan Heqing walked past the van, and a middle-aged man rolled down the window and called out to him, "Young man, don't you have a car? I'm just about to go down the mountain, want a ride?"
Yan Heqing remembered Chu Ziyu saying that when Lu Lin was in his third year of junior high school, someone asked him to meet after school, and Lu Lin brought the head of the teaching department with him.
This time it's the Ecological and Environmental Protection Bureau.
For the first time tonight, Yan Heqing showed a genuine smile. "Thank you."
The van drove down the mountain. The driver was very talkative, and Yan Heqing occasionally chimed in, but he didn't miss anything. After passing a fork in the road, a Land Rover came out and followed them at a distance.
Yan Heqing glanced in the rearview mirror. The driver was saying that tomorrow would be a good day, and a faint smile appeared in his eyes.
Indeed, tomorrow will be a good day.
" President Lu, the driver has picked up Mr. Yan and taken him down the mountain. Their destination is your residence in the Beijing University residential area." The assistant, unaware that Lu Lin was accompanying them, reported everything in detail. "Young President Lu is still being prevented from leaving the mountain; he's expected to leave in three hours."
Lu Lin instructed him to do another thing, "Keep a close eye on the news from Beijing University in the next two days. If it's going to be suppressed, find a few major media outlets to expose it and push it across the entire internet."
He saw Yan Heqing's video.
During the trip to the Twenty Bridges, Yan Heqing suddenly wanted to get a new phone with a higher resolution, in order to film Zhao Weifang.
Lu Lin stared at the van ahead, gripping the steering wheel, and suddenly chuckled a few times.
Yan Heqing was born to fish. He was so patient at such a young age, and he remained calm and composed when facing his prey, waiting for the right moment to deliver a fatal blow.
According to the information he obtained, Zhao Weifang will be a senior next semester and will graduate soon.
Once Yan Heqing releases the video, Zhao Weifang's years of university education will be wasted, and her job offer will be worthless.
Chu Ziyu called, and Lu Lin hung up on his assistant.
"What's going on with A-Lin?" Chu Ziyu woke up at his doorstep.
They even changed the car and got an extra driver!
Lu Lin simply said, "Something came up."
"You're not still staying at the winery, are you?"
On my way home.
Chu Ziyu laughed at him, "What home? A house for a lonely person is called a 'room'—" He suddenly raised his voice, "Holy crap, you're not living with Heqing, are you???"
Lu Lin chuckled but didn't reply.
"You don't talk about it at all, but when you do, you go straight to the point... Goodbye!" Chu Ziyu hung up the phone enviously.
Under the supervision of the environmental protection bureau staff, the people Lu Muchi had called quickly pulled down the light strips, leaving only a mess on the ground where the once dreamy and romantic proposal scene had been.
Lu Muchi stood in front of the railing, overlooking the unobstructed view of the bustling night scene.
A moment later, he unfolded his sticky palm and threw the ring heavily into the darkness.
The ring vanished without a sound. Lu Muchi took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and his eyes were unfathomable in the wispy smoke.
After finishing his cigarette, he took out his phone. "Check Yan Heqing's entire schedule for this period of time."
He gripped the railing tightly, determined to make that bastard suffer a fate worse than death once he dragged him out!

The next morning, an anonymous person posted the information on Weibo.
The title is simple and powerful. "Luopu Winery, Transaction".
They showed a video of Zhao Weifang introducing female college students to several men.
The girl's photo was blurred and her name was mute, but Zhao Weifang's face and the voices of several men Qingqing.
It went to local hot status immediately after being sent.
"Is Luopu Winery the one in the South City suburbs? I even bought wine from them before! Ugh, I feel like throwing up!"
"I know this pimp, he's Beijing University!"
The news exploded even faster after Beijing University was mentioned.
"Holy crap! Someone leaked the information! It's Zhao Weifang the Software Engineering Department at Beijing University!"
"Ahhh! The photos are all of female students, could they have been taken secretly? This must be thoroughly investigated!!!!"
