Chapter 3: President Lu Gains Mind-Reading

Lu Yushi stared at Su Weiwei.

That voice was clearly Su Weiwei’s, yet somehow different from her usual speaking voice.

Su Weiwei lowered her gaze and asked him with apparent concern, “What’s wrong?”

But at the same time, another voice rang out:

【Heh! Lu Yushi lying on the ground like this, teary-eyed and pitiful… really looks like a beautiful woman! One day, I’ll definitely tie him up and sell him to a rich woman’s pleasure house, let him be treated like this and like that…】

Su Weiwei sneered inwardly, already imagining Lu Yushi being stepped on, whipped with a little leather lash.

The mighty President Lu brought down to such a state—how suffocated and humiliated would he be?

This lifetime, it was her turn to trample him beneath her feet!

The thought made Su Weiwei almost laugh aloud…

Lu Yushi’s face darkened to the extreme!

A beautiful woman? Teary-eyed? Pleasure house?
This and that… and then that and this??

He snapped in icy fury, “Get. Out!”

Su Weiwei immediately let go. “Alright then, bye!”

As if she’d wanted to help him in the first place.

She left without hesitation. In less than a minute, she had vanished beyond the gates of the Lu family estate!

From signing the divorce papers to completely disappearing—no more than five minutes.

Lu Yushi felt it had gone far too smoothly, as though something wasn’t right.

The assistant hurried forward to support him. “President Lu, are you alright? Should we go to the hospital?”

As Lu Yushi leaned on the assistant’s arm to stand, another voice rang out:

【Ahhhhhh! I touched President Lu! Sob sob sob! Oh my god!】

Lu Yushi instinctively raised his hand and slapped the assistant flying!

Assistant: “???”

Lu Yushi stared at him, his eyes flickering.

He was certain—the voice he had just heard wasn’t spoken aloud, but from the assistant’s heart!

Still fuming from Su Weiwei, he finally began to piece it together.

What was happening?

He could actually hear people’s inner thoughts!

Lu Yushi looked at his hand. Around him, the servants stood with their heads bowed, silent.

Not a single extra sound.

He narrowed his eyes and said to the assistant, “Come here.”

The assistant shuffled over nervously. Lu Yushi placed a hand on his shoulder.

【Owww~ President!】

Lu Yushi: “…”

So it was true!

As long as he touched someone, he could hear their inner voice!

The assistant’s mind was in chaos:
【What’s wrong with the president? With this face that charms both men and women, it’s too easy for people to bend for him, to swoon for him, to pine day and night until they waste away… #%￥#@#】

Lu Yushi’s face frosted over. “Get. Out!!”

Assistant: “???”

The cowardly assistant bolted immediately.

Lu Yushi sat heavily on the sofa, face dark as thunder.

He truly had mind-reading powers now!

But—he had discovered two limitations.
First, he needed physical contact with someone to hear their thoughts.
Second, he couldn’t hear everything—people’s minds turned too quickly, and often he could only catch fragments or garbled nonsense.

His gaze fell on the divorce agreement lying on the table. Remembering Su Weiwei’s gloating just now, his face grew even darker.

He hoped never to see her again for the rest of his life!

At that moment, the assistant peeked his head through the door, holding his swollen cheek carefully.

“President Lu… the university city project has run into trouble. The engineer who designed ‘Heritage: Stars and Sea’ has withdrawn…”

Lu Yushi rose with no expression, grabbed a suit jacket, and strode out.

Why withdraw now of all times—right after his divorce?

Frowning, Lu Yushi had a bad feeling.

The construction of the university city district was a project the Lu Group had worked on for half a year—there could be no mishaps.

“What’s the engineer’s name?” Lu Yushi asked.

Assistant Sun: “It’s… ‘I Am Your Dad.’”

Lu Yushi stopped in his tracks, fixing the assistant with an icy stare.

Assistant Sun broke into a cold sweat. “Really! I mean—it’s really his name! ‘I Am Your Dad!’”

Lu Yushi: “…”
