Chapter 286 Mr. Lu has something important to do
Lu Chengwen was almost scared stiff.
But strangely, after just a few moves, Luo Shiyin actually couldn’t beat him.
She couldn’t even put up any significant defense or offense before being subdued by Lu Chengwen.
Lu Chengwen held her, gripping her broken sword, and placed it against her neck.@@novelbin@@
Luo Shiyin remained calm, offering no resistance. She just stared at Lu Chengwen steadily, motionless.
Lu Chengwen was dumbfounded.
【Why is she so weak? This doesn’t make sense! She’s a top-level cultivator!】
【I just barely reached mid-level last night!】
【Could she be sick?】
“See? I can’t even beat you anymore,” Luo Shiyin said calmly.
Lu Chengwen reluctantly removed the sword. “Don’t be like this. I’m not going to kill you, so stop always seeking death.”
He helped her to her feet and returned the sword to her hand.
“Let’s go.”
After that, the situation changed again. Lu Chengwen walked in front while Luo Shiyin followed behind him with her head down.
This made Lu Chengwen feel very unsafe, and he constantly turned back to glance at her.
Every time he turned back, Luo Shiyin would hurriedly look away as if she were panicking.
This made Lu Chengwen even more uneasy:
【She’s definitely plotting how to kill me!】
Luo Shiyin was on the verge of exploding with anger.
“I gave you the opportunity, and you still couldn’t take advantage of it!”
“Kill, kill, kill! If I were capable of killing you, I wouldn’t have endured being mocked by my master’s wife!”
“If I could kill you, why would I bother eating roasted fish with you?”
“And now I’m forced to learn all these… submissive tactics to deal with you, and you still see me as the bad guy!”
“Serves you right to stay single forever!”
Lu Chengwen and Luo Shiyin spent a full day and night trekking through the mountains before finally reaching a road.
Luo Shiyin turned back to glance at the vast mountain range and suddenly felt a sense of loss.
“This road… is it over so quickly?”
“We… hardly said anything to each other!”
Lu Chengwen was ecstatic!
【Finally, we’re out of here! I need to find a chance to slip away and save my life!】
Luo Shiyin looked at Lu Chengwen and clenched her teeth. “Lu Chengwen! From now on, you and I are enemies! The next time we meet, I will kill you!”
Lu Chengwen nodded. “In that case… can we just… never meet again?”
Luo Shiyin glared at him furiously and suddenly shouted, “In your dreams!”
With that, she turned and used her light-footed skills to disappear into the woods by the roadside.
Lu Chengwen stood there in a daze for a few seconds before quickly turning around and running in the opposite direction.
With the help of the ambassador stationed in Myanmar, Lu Chengwen successfully returned to Snow City.
When the plane landed, Lu Chengwen was overwhelmed with emotion.
Jiang Shihan had been anxiously waiting. The moment she saw Lu Chengwen walking out, she ran toward him excitedly and threw herself into his arms.
Lu Chengwen held her tightly. “It’s okay now. See? I made it back in one piece.”
Jiang Shihan cried, “I was so scared!”
Lu Chengwen spotted Hua Xuening standing off to the side and smiled. “Xuening, were you well-behaved at home these past few days?”
Hua Xuening replied indignantly, “It was so dangerous. Why didn’t you take me with you?”
“I didn’t expect so many things to happen,” Lu Chengwen said.
Mayor Zhao, along with leaders from the Ministry of Public Security and other officials, was also there to greet him.
Lu Chengwen let go of the girls and quickly walked over to shake hands with the officials.
Mayor Zhao said, “Chengwen, I never expected you to be so brave. You’re a hero for China.”
Lu Chengwen replied, “There hasn’t been any publicity about me, right?”
“For now, the news has been suppressed. The higher-ups need to convene and decide on a statement. They’ll also need you to provide a detailed account of the rescue operation. But no matter what, your status as a hero is set in stone.”
Lu Chengwen shook his head. “I don’t want to be a hero. Please ask the higher-ups to attribute the success to the Ministry of Public Security’s special operations, as well as the embassy and other departments who contributed to the effort.”
“Why?” Mayor Zhao was puzzled. “This is a great opportunity for you to gain fame. You’ll become a national hero!”
Lu Chengwen replied, “I don’t like being in the spotlight. You know that.”
Mayor Zhao chuckled. “Alright then. We’ve prepared a celebration banquet for you.”
Lu Chengwen slid his hand onto Jiang Shihan’s rear and said, “Ah! I just remembered something very important that I need to handle! I’ll have to skip the banquet. After all, I’m not a hero, so there’s no need for me to attend.”
Mayor Zhao thought for a moment. “Alright, but tomorrow we’ll need to have a proper conversation. Leaders from the Ministry of Public Security and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs want to meet with you.”
“Understood.”
Secretary Wu was anxious. “Mr. Lu, this is a rare opportunity to connect with senior leaders. What could be so urgent that it can’t wait?”
Lu Chengwen shook hands with Secretary Wu earnestly and said, “It really can’t wait!”
Zhao Gang was driving, with Hua Xuening in the front passenger seat.
In the back, Lu Chengwen was holding Jiang Shihan tightly, their embrace already heating up.
“You little vixen, did you miss me?” Lu Chengwen asked breathlessly .
“I missed you so much, my dear Mr. Lu! Oh, Mr. Lu, you’re so naughty! You’re bullying me! I’m going to scream! !”
“They’re confiscated! I haven’t had any action in days, so I’m going to make up for lost time today!”
Screech!
The car came to a sudden stop, causing Lu Chengwen to crash onto Jiang Shihan, eliciting a sharp cry of pain from her.
Lu Chengwen raised his head. “What the hell kind of driving is this?”
Zhao Gang lowered the partition and turned back awkwardly. “It’s… it’s Ms. Xu’s car!”
“What?!”
Before he could finish, the car door was yanked open.
Xu Xuejiao stood at the door, staring at Lu Chengwen lying on top of Jiang Shihan with an expressionless face.
“Mr. Lu sure is in a rush. Skipping the banquet arranged by the senior leaders to flirt with his secretary in the car.”
Lu Chengwen quickly sat up, turned around, and said with a sheepish smile, “Hehe, Xuejiao, fancy seeing you here…”
Lu Chengwen went to shake hands with Xu Xuejiao, but suddenly realized he was holding a lace thong in his hand.
Lu Chengwen froze for a moment, and before he could pull his hand back, Xu Xuejiao swiftly grabbed it from him.
She took a glance and commented, “The material is quite nice.”
Jiang Shihan was incredibly embarrassed: “Xu Zong, I… I…”
“Oh, I know! This is from when I went shopping with you that day!”
Xu Xuejiao also got into the car, sitting next to Lu Chengwen. “Lu Zong, you didn’t even call me when you came back? Do you think I’m invisible?”
“I just landed from the plane, I was about to call!”
“Really? I’m sure you were about to do something else.”
Lu Chengwen said, “Fine, fine, I’ll call now, is that okay?”
He took the new phone from Jiang Shihan, dialed Xu Xuejiao’s number, and said, “Get ready to answer the phone.”
Xu Xuejiao angrily went to hit Lu Chengwen.
Zhao Gang continued driving.
Lu Chengwen felt awkward: “These past few days were good, right?”
Xu Xuejiao stretched her neck: “Many of the senior staff pretend to obey, but actually don’t really respect me. I want you to help me deal with them.”
“Ah?” Lu Chengwen thought for a moment: “Because… there are management difficulties, you want to get rid of the shareholders? Isn’t that a bit… too extreme?”
“Don’t want to help?”
“No,” Lu Chengwen replied, “I just feel that this is an internal matter for your group. I shouldn’t get too involved.”
“So, you’re planning to distance yourself from me?”
“That’s not it. I just think…”
“Do you want me to give you something before you help me?”
“I’m not…”
Xu Xuejiao said, and to his surprise, she boldly took off her pants and shoved them into Lu Chengwen’s hand. “Do you like this style?”
Lu Chengwen knew she was angry, but he was getting a little frustrated too. “What are you doing? Stop it, seriously!”
“I worry about you every day! You don’t even let me know when you come back!”
“I just landed! I’m exhausted!”
“That’s not right. When I opened the door earlier, you looked full of energy!”
“What exactly do you want?”
“I don’t know! I’m just angry!”
“You’re angry!?”
Lu Chengwen grabbed Zhao Riti’s bag, took out an envelope, and said, “Take a look at this!”
“What is it? Read it to me.”
Lu Chengwen widened his eyes. “You’re engaged! What are you looking for me for?”
“What nonsense are you talking about?!” Xu Xuejiao was now really angry. “Lu Chengwen! Are you trying to break up with me?”
Lu Chengwen tore open the envelope, took out a yellowed letter, and said, “It’s black and white, with your grandfather’s signature and seal! Look closely!”
Xu Xuejiao took the letter and carefully read it, raising her head to look at Lu Chengwen, her face full of shock.
“Chengwen, brother, this… this can’t be real, right?”
“How would I know? Aren’t you the one who should know if it’s real or not?”
Xu Xuejiao looked almost ready to cry.
She had read it several times, and the handwriting was undoubtedly her grandfather’s.
She had spent her childhood in his study, watching him write prescriptions. She recognized his handwriting.
And the seal was definitely her grandfather’s from that time!
What was going on!?
She looked closely at the date, and it turned out to be a contract signed even before her birth.
Xu Xuejiao panicked and grabbed Lu Chengwen’s arm. “Brother, I really didn’t know, look at the date, this was signed over twenty years ago! I didn’t know, I swear I didn’t know!”
Lu Chengwen shook his head as he looked at her. “You’ve deceived my feelings.”
“I didn’t!”
“You’ve betrayed my trust!”
“I didn’t!”
Lu Chengwen sighed. “I thought we were sincere, but I never expected… sigh.”
Xu Xuejiao really started crying. “I truly didn’t know! No one ever told me about this! And what is this? Arranged marriage? I wasn’t even born then! How could I know?”
Lu Chengwen saw she was genuinely distressed and softened his tone, holding her. “Alright, since you’re sincere with me, I’ll forgive you this time.”
“Really?”
“But this!” Lu Chengwen snatched the letter back. “This is proof! Proof that you deceived me, betrayed me, sold me out!”
Xu Xuejiao understood. Lu Chengwen was just trying to scare her.
But the idea that she was already engaged made her feel unsettled. Who could be okay with that when they found out?
Xu Xuejiao carefully comforted Lu Chengwen. “Brother Chengwen, I’ll ask my dad about this when I get home, and I’ll sort this out. Don’t worry, I won’t be with any other man.”
“You better!” Lu Chengwen said. “But remember, this is your fault. What do you think I should do to punish you?”
Xu Xuejiao pouted. “Always bullying me, what do you want me to do?”
Lu Chengwen grinned. “Tonight, you’ll warm my bed!”
Xu Xuejiao chuckled, blushing. “Alright, you big bad wolf!”
Lu Chengwen laughed. “It’s been so long since I’ve had some fun. Come here, let me enjoy it!”
“You’re awful! You’re bullying me! I’m going to scream!”
“Haha! Scream all you want! Scream your lungs out, no one’s coming to save you!”
Another sudden brake.
Lu Chengwen found himself once again in Xu Xuejiao’s arms.
He looked up, gritting his teeth. “What now!?”
Just then, the car door opened, and Chen Mengyun stood at the doorway, staring at the chaotic scene inside.
Xu Xuejiao quickly covered up what Lu Chengwen had tugged loose.
It was awkward.
Chen Mengyun looked at Lu Chengwen, holding a pair of small underwear in each hand, her expression as dark as could be.
[You all must have planned this, taking turns to come and cause trouble, right?]
What do you think?
