Chapter 64: Brother Lu, Please, Save Me

Gu Zhiyan’s long fingers tapped on the phone screen.

He knew what Pei Yi meant.

But now was not the time to be happy.

He even hoped that Lu Chengze could be useful, not to lose too badly.

The more stupid he was, the worse Jian Yao’s previous judgment would seem.

Besides, Lu Chengze and Jian Yao grew up together, an undeniable fact. Jian Yao might have given up on Lu Chengze, no longer having love for him.

But after all these years, even raising a dog would have some affection.

If he did something to Lu Chengze, Jian Yao would only be pushed further away if she found out.

Lu Chengze’s influence was waning, and it would be a waste of effort to target him.

And he didn’t want Jian Yao to have any feelings for Lu Chengze anymore.

Not even pity.

At the right time, he would even help Lu Chengze, completely kicking him out of the game.

Thinking about this, Gu Zhiyan deliberately told Pei Yi.

“Just watch the show, don’t interfere.”

This time, Pei Yi on the other side took a long time to reply, his disbelief could be felt through the screen.

Pei Yi: “This style doesn’t sound like you!”

Gu Zhiyan, who looked gentle and refined, actually had a wolfish nature deep down.

Either he would wait for the opportunity without moving, or he would strike decisively.

Although Old Master Lu hadn’t returned yet, looking at the current situation of Lu Corporation, unless Lu Chengze found a new backer before he returned, he would definitely be trampled into the mud by Lu Chengyuan.

According to Gu Zhiyan’s previous style, shouldn’t he be completely crushing Lu Chengze at this time?

Gu Zhiyan knew his question, but didn’t explain in detail, only reminding him again, “In short, don’t intervene.”

After replying, Gu Zhiyan ignored whether Pei Yi replied or not, directly exited WeChat, his clear eyes glanced at the old lady’s room, then turned and walked upstairs.

On the other side.

In the car rushing from the hospital to Lu Corporation.

Lin, the assistant, was driving, Wu Yue sat in the passenger seat, dividing the medicine from the hospital and handing it to Lu Chengze. He turned around to get some water, and Lu Chengze had already taken the medicine.

Chewing the tablets, expressionless, as if he had lost his sense of taste.

Wu Yue remained silent for a moment, then silently closed the bottle cap.

The two people in the car, he dared not provoke either of them, he sat silently in the passenger seat, listening to Lu Chengze flipping through files in the back.

The black car stopped in the underground parking lot, Lu Chengze in the back put away the scattered files, his expression was no different from usual.

As if the person who had gone crazy before wasn’t him.

The three of them got out of the car and went straight into the exclusive elevator for the president.

In the confined space, the gloomy aura around Lu Chengze intensified, the cold air around him was bone-chilling.

Wu Yue stood behind him, shivering, wishing he could disappear on the spot.

He had never felt the journey from the first floor to the top floor so long.

However, as the elevator door opened.

Seeing the shareholders packed in the conference room on the top floor through the glass door, Wu Yue wished he could slap himself.

He almost forgot, there were still a bunch of death-bringing ghosts here!

Why didn’t he let him freeze to death in the elevator just now?

Obviously, the people in the conference room also saw Lu Chengze and the others.

They were already full of anger, having waited here for a whole morning, not even having a sip of water, they were already impatient.

One of the shareholders glanced at the clock on the wall, sarcastically remarking, “No wonder a mere warehouse manager dares to handle such a large order. It seems the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree! Why didn’t Mr. Lu come until now?”

It was one thing for the CEO to be late or leave early, but it was another to favoritism!

Even more absurdly, they had been sitting on the top floor for so long, and there wasn’t a single soul in sight?

They asked the assistant to go downstairs and found out that the CEO’s assistant had been fired because of the little secretary, Liu Yiyi!

Curious, they had someone call Liu Yiyi over, wanting to see how this rumored secretary who had captivated Mr. Lu looked like.

The result?

The receptionist said she wasn’t at work today?

Good heavens!

They had been in the business world for so many years, and they had never encountered anything like this before. They had opened their eyes to a new world!

So, this illegitimate child had been in power for a few years, and she had forgotten her place?

She was using their money to play the hero in front of a woman?

Wu Yue couldn’t help but speak up for Lu Chengze, “Yesterday, our Mr. Lu…”

“Is there room for you to speak here? What are you, anyway?”

He was just a dog under Lu Chengze, and he dared to bark at them.

Wu Yue’s face flushed red from the insult, and he bit his tongue, not daring to speak again.

Lu Chengze stepped forward, shielding Wu Yue.

“All of you uncles have been working with my father for years. Be magnanimous. Why bother with him? The most important thing now is to handle the company’s affairs and do our best to minimize the losses.”

Everyone present was a seasoned fox. They had heard about Lu Chengze being tricked by several banks for a loan yesterday, and he had even drunk himself to the point of a stomach bleed.

Now, seeing his pale face, like a ghost, his lips stained with blood, and his eyes filled with a blue-gray hue, he looked like he had just crawled out of bed, a consumptive. It was not wise to push him too hard.

Most importantly, the Jian family girl had loved him for over ten years, and now she had married into the Gu family.

If she still had feelings for him, even a little bit, it would be enough for him to turn things around.

Offending him now was not a wise move.

The shareholder who had just been rude snorted, “Finally, some sense. Tell us, how are we going to solve this?”

Lu Chengze bowed and invited the shareholders into the office, “Why don’t we go inside and talk?”

In the office.

As soon as the shareholders sat down, Lin, the assistant, came in with tea, but before he could even place the cups, the office door was slammed open.

A woman in a pink Chanel suit came in crying, her high heels clicking “bang bang” on the floor, and the strong scent of her perfume made everyone wrinkle their noses.

The shareholders were startled by this sudden turn of events. Before they could even see who it was, the woman had already thrown herself at Lu Chengze, grabbing his arm and crying.

“Brother Lu, please, save my brother! He’s been arrested by the police.”

Liu Yiyi, with her carefully styled hair and her pitiful makeup, cried like a heartbroken willow.

A woman’s tears are the best weapon.

Lu Chengze was deeply patriarchal at heart, and this trick worked on him every time.

She was used to being pampered on the top floor, and she didn’t care about anyone except Lu Chengze and his family.

Therefore, she completely ignored the group of shareholders next to her and continued to pour out her grievances.

“You promised me before. As long as my brother returned the money he embezzled, everything would be fine. But the company’s legal department is so bold, they actually reported my brother to the police.”

“He was arrested early this morning. He’s only in his twenties, and he hasn’t even gotten married yet. If he’s convicted, his life will be ruined!”

She was so scared when she got the news that she almost fainted. She spent over an hour at the police station, but they refused to release him. So, she had to come back and ask Lu Chengze for help.

The one who had filed the lawsuit against her brother was Lu’s company. As long as Lu Chengze gave the word, the lawsuit would be dropped, and her brother would be released.

Liu Yiyi lowered her head and sobbed, completely unaware of the increasingly strange atmosphere in the room and Lu Chengze’s face, black as a pot.
