“What you’re doing is illegal,” Han Huiru continued to exclaim.
The people nearby remained silent, standing motionless without Lu Qirui’s command. No one dared to move, let alone call a doctor for Lu Nanxin.
Lu Nanxin seemed to have gone completely limp in a pool of blood.
She gazed at Wen Jin and asked, “Wen Jin, are you just going to let her do as she pleases? Is it because she’s the daughter of the Lu family?”
This was an accusation.
Wen Jin glanced over and walked towards Lu Nanxin.
As Wen Jin approached, Yu Anwan’s unwavering gaze was fixed on her. However, she remained silent throughout the entire ordeal.
Lu Qirui, who had been playing with a lighter on the sofa, looked over indifferently.
“Wen Jin…” Lu Nanxin sobbed.
Lu Nanxin understood how to manipulate people’s emotions, allowing her
Achilles tendon to bleed.
Due to her fear, Lu Nanxin was highly emotional.
While others might not have been aware, Wen Jin was well aware that Lu Nanxin could not afford to become agitated. Any heightened emotions could be lethal for Lu Nanxin.
“Let’s stop here.” Wen Jin’s voice was calm.
Wen Jin didn’t know if he was talking to Lu Nanxin or Yu Anwan.
Yu Anwan stood there with a cold expression.
“President Wen, are you saying that we should just forget about this matter?” Lu Qirui looked over.
Wen Jin ignored Lu Qirui and instead turned to Yu Anwan, saying, “Anwan, I won’t stop you from doing what you want to do, but it’s fine as long as everything is about the same.”
“Reasonable?” Yu Anwan raised her head. “What if something happens to
Xioabao? How will you explain that to me?”
Wen Jin responded directly, “Whatever hardship Xioabao has endured, she will face the consequences.”
This means that Xioabao was currently safe, and Lu Nanxin had already faced appropriate consequences for her actions. Continuing down this path would lead to criminal behavior.
Wen Jin didn’t want Yu Anwan to become involved in such matters.
However, Yu Anwan interpreted Wen Jin’s intentions differently.
Yu Anwan looked at Wen Jin. “What if I make a move?”
“Anwan,” Wen Jin addressed Yu Anwan by her name.
Lu Qirui suddenly spoke up. “Anwan, do as you want. Even if the sky falls, the
Lu family will support you.”
She was distinct from Lu Nanxin, who had to maintain certain boundaries even when acting stubbornly.
In Lu Qirui’s words, the Lu family would unconditionally back Yu Anwan in whatever she chose to do.
Today, Yu Anwan had taken Lu Nanxin’s life, and no one dared to oppose it.
Yu Anwan understood this, as did everyone present.
Therefore, Yu Anwan looked at Wen Jin with a hint of a smile. “President Wen, are you showing sympathy?”
Wen Jin remained silent.
Yu Anwan’s eyes darkened, and she suddenly turned her gaze toward Lu Nanxin. It was unclear whether she had compromised with Wen Jin or if there was some other intention.
Yu Anwan spoke with determination, “Alright, President Wen has spoken. I’ll respect his wishes. But after Xiaobao has been detained here for two days, I don’t intend to let you off so easily.”
Lu Nanxin heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing her words.
However, her expression changed once again upon hearing the next sentence.
The pain in her ankle had become more pronounced, and by now, Lu Nanxin was starting to panic.
She genuinely feared that Yu Anwan would disregard her well-being, as a severe injury to her foot would have significant consequences.
“Let the doctor take care of this.” Yu Anwan turned to her assistant.
Her second sentence seemed to echo from the depths of hell. It was chillingly explicit. “Then, lock Miss Lu in the basement. The basement must match the conditions of the sewer, and she should be kept there for 48 hours before her release.”
Each word was unmistakable.
The mental image was enough to terrify anyone, even without experiencing it firsthand.
“No, please, don’t…” Lu Nanxin desperately shook her head. “I had nothing to do with this. It wasn’t me. You must believe me.”
Lu Nanxin clung to Wen Jin’s hand, refusing to let go. “Wen Jin, it wasn’t me.
You have to believe me.”
Wen Jin remained motionless, leaving it unclear whether he agreed or disagreed with Yu Anwan’s words.
When Yu Anwan glanced at Wen Jin, she coldly remarked, “President Wen, remember your status as a married man. The person you are holding also has a fiance. If you want to show concern, it’s not your place, President Wen.”
Wen Jin nodded in response, “Is this acceptable?”
Yu Anwan merely hummed and said nothing more.
Lu Nanxin was facing the possibility of death, but it couldn’t be that straightforward.
That would be letting Lu Nanxin off far too easily.
Today’s events were merely an appetizer, and Yu Anwan understood that better than anyone.
Wen Jin didn’t say anything further. The doctor had arrived, and Lu Nanxin was being treated on the side. Her consciousness began to blur.
“She must survive.” Yu Anwan commanded in a cold tone.
These words briefly ignited a glimmer of hope in Lu Nanxin’s eyes.
However, Yu Anwan’s subsequent words swiftly extinguished that hope.
“Surviving can sometimes be more painful than death. Do you understand?”
Afterward, without glancing back at the chaos that unfolded, Yu Anwan left.
Han Huiru couldn’t accept such a situation and spoke without hesitation, “I want to see Chongming. He won’t ignore this matter.”
“Miss Han,” Lu Qirui addressed Han Huiru.
Han Huiru’s face paled once more.
“Do you think Lu Chongming will come out of this unscathed after committing such an act?” Lu Qirui mentioned Lu Chongming without giving his full name.
Han Huiru’s body trembled.
Standing before Han Huiru, Lu Qirui, with his hands in his pockets, adopted a somewhat mocking tone. “Miss Han’s charm isn’t enough. It doesn’t make him go to great lengths for Miss Han.”
“What do you mean by that…” Han Huiru’s voice trembled.
“The Lu family has given him a choice. He can either cut ties with Miss Han and the Lu family will cover for this matter, or he can be put on trial. What do you think he will choose?” Lu Qirui asked Han Huiru.
In shock, Han Huiru took a few steps back.
She and Lu Chongming had been very affectionate at the beginning.
Because Xu Shuhui’s personality was suffocating.
However, in these 20 to 30 years of life, Han Huiru and Lu Chongming’s feelings for each other had been obliterated by trivial matters.
Han Huiru couldn’t possibly stay by Lu Chongming’s side without a name.
That was why Han Huiru would pressure Lu Chongming.
It was true that she had a daughter, but it was also true that the Lu family did not admit it.
Moreover, Xu Shuhui had a good relationship with the Lu family. Coupled with the Xu family’s position in the military and political circles, it was naturally unshakable.
Thus, Xu Shuhui had occupied the role of Miss Lu, and she had no intention of giving it up..
