Chapter 22

Lu Chengwen had Zhao Gang gather all his men and put them on standby.

He dialed Leng Qingqiu’s number again.

“What do you want now? If you want to get back with Chen Mengyun, that’s your business. Don’t bother me!”

“I’m not getting back with her. I really have an urgent matter to discuss with you. Chen Mengyun is in grave danger, extremely dangerous. Only Long Aotian can save her now, so we must find Long Aotian.”

“It’s none of my business. I’m not close to her.”

“Then are you close to me? Even if we’re not friends, we’ve... been in contact for more than three years, right?”

Lu Chengwen was really anxious: “Please, just do me a favor, okay?”

Leng Qingqiu sighed: “The landlord of that residence has returned and said that Long Aotian has already moved out.”

Lu Chengwen was momentarily at a loss.

Chen Mengyun had run away, and now she was like a kite with its string cut, leaving no trace.

Leng Qingqiu asked: “What kind of danger is she in?”

Lu Chengwen replied: “In short, if we can’t find her tonight, this book will be completely ruined.”

“What are you talking about?”

Lu Chengwen said: “I’m going to die.”

“Long Aotian is just a bodyguard I fired. He shouldn’t know Chen Mengyun!”

Right!

Lu Chengwen then remembered that the plot hadn’t reached that point yet. This plot was triggered by him. Finding Long Aotian would probably leave the guy confused.

He probably doesn’t even know Chen Mengyun yet!

Leng Qingqiu felt that Lu Chengwen was really serious and very anxious.

She said earnestly: “I can help you check Hu Shuhui’s itinerary.”

“Great! Hurry, I’m waiting for you!”

Leng Qingqiu was very efficient and found out that Hu Shuhui had booked a suite at the Tianhai Lan Hotel an hour ago.

Lu Chengwen left a message: “I’ll never forget this.”

Leng Qingqiu quickly asked: “What are you going to do?”

But Lu Chengwen had already hung up.

...

Lu Chengwen led more than thirty security guards and rushed directly to the Tianhai Lan Hotel.

Who could stop him?

Lu Chengwen, like a determined gang leader, walked at the front, leading the thirty-odd people in a grand procession to the top floor.

The hotel security didn’t dare to stop them, and the front desk quickly called the police.

At the suite door, they had the server knock, but the server couldn’t get a response. Hu Shuhui was clearly panicking inside, yelling at the server to go away.

Lu Chengwen forced the server to unlock the door with a card and then rushed into the room. Before Hu Shuhui could even finish a sentence, he was knocked down by a punch from Lu Chengwen.

Looking at the remaining feast, the candles, and the red wine...

Lu Chengwen was furious, pointing at Hu Shuhui and ordering: “Drag him out and beat him, drag him out and beat him, beat him to death!”

Hu Shuhui, lying on the ground, shouted: “Lu Chengwen, you dare to hit me? I am—!”

Zhao Gang didn’t care about that. His belief was simple and pure.

Lu Chengwen was his sky, his god, the only person in the world worth following and worshiping.

It didn’t matter if it was Hu Shuhui or even the King of Hell; if Lu Chengwen gave the order, he would chase and cut them down with a kitchen knife.

Zhao Gang dragged Hu Shuhui out, and most of the thirty-odd people couldn’t even get a hit in. Hu Shuhui’s screams were annoying.

One of the guys considerately closed the door.

Lu Chengwen walked into the inner suite, shouting: “Mengyun! Mengyun!”

The suite was quite large, but finding Chen Mengyun wasn’t difficult.

At that moment, Chen Mengyun was lying on the big bed, her clothes disheveled, her body writhing like a snake.

Her perfect figure was almost enough to make one bleed from the nose.

Her two round thighs were tightly pressed together, rubbing against the blanket.

Her skin, drenched in sweat, was bright and oily, making her look even more seductive.

Chen Mengyun’s face was flushed, her breathing heavy. Seeing Lu Chengwen, her mind seemed to clear a little.

“Brother Chengwen... save... save me...”

Lu Chengwen felt both hatred and heartache.

He quickly took off his coat, covered Chen Mengyun, and then carried her out.

Chen Mengyun knew she was saved.

Her mind was a mess, but knowing it was Lu Chengwen, she felt reassured.

However, her biological instincts still made her emit kitten-like sounds, which to Lu Chengwen sounded like a kitten gently scratching his heart.

Chen Mengyun clung tightly to Lu Chengwen’s neck. After all the commotion, Lu Chengwen was also drenched in sweat, and the male scent seemed to stimulate Chen Mengyun, making her even more infatuated.

The strong male pheromones were overwhelming in Chen Mengyun’s mind, and she rubbed against Lu Chengwen’s neck, eventually hugging and kissing him...

Lu Chengwen walked to the door, and all the security guards stepped aside. Hu Shuhui quickly begged for mercy: “Chengwen, we’ve been old friends. Spare me this time, I...”

Lu Chengwen kicked him in the face and walked straight to the elevator.

...

At his private villa.

Lu Chengwen couldn’t calm Chen Mengyun down no matter what.

He had given her three bottles of water, washed her face, and wiped her chest, but it didn’t help much.

Chen Mengyun was completely disoriented, constantly seducing Lu Chengwen and pleading for his attention.

When Xu Xuejiao entered the room, Chen Mengyun was still clinging to Lu Chengwen, touching him and whispering in his ear: “Brother, I’m so sad, come on! Save me, please, you’re the best...”

Xu Xuejiao frowned: “Lu Chengwen, you’re really bold? You dare to use such tactics on Sister Mengyun?”

Lu Chengwen was sweating: “Use your head. If I had that intention, why would I call you?”

Xu Xuejiao frowned, nodding: “What’s really going on?”

“Save her first, I’ll explain later.”

Lu Chengwen held Chen Mengyun down, and Xu Xuejiao first injected a sedative.

Although it didn’t take effect immediately, Chen Mengyun calmed down a lot, but her eyes were still dazed as she clung to Lu Chengwen.

They spent the whole night.

Xu Xuejiao, indeed a skilled doctor, was usually quirky, but when it came to medical treatment and medication, she was very serious and focused.

Chen Mengyun finally calmed down, and Xu Xuejiao and Lu Chengwen were exhausted.

The police also came knocking.

Zhang Shen’er took Lu Chengwen away again.

In the police station, Lu Chengwen thought a lot.

This can’t go on.

Now, he was too closely linked to these major female characters.

Even after locking Long Aotian in a small room for a day, nothing changed. Instead, he saved Jiang Shihan’s mother, recovered over twenty billion yuan in losses for Leng Qingqiu, drove away Hu Shuhui and saved Chen Mengyun from losing her virginity, and spent the whole day with Xu Xuejiao...

Right, he even went to the police station twice in one day.

This isn’t how things should be!

The plot shouldn’t be like this!

If I can’t deal with you, can’t I just avoid you?

Tomorrow, I’ll buy a ticket and go to the South, to Dongwu, to Xishu, to Xiliang...

If that doesn’t work, I’ll leave Asia and go to the world!

I’ll go to Ukraine, to Donbas, to Kashmir... it should be fine, right?

After three to five years, or even ten to twenty years, I might not come back at all.

I have money; wherever I go, I can live a life of luxury. Why should I stay in this Snow City? If this continues, I’ll be killed by Long Aotian sooner or later.

Yes, that’s it!

You want to integrate the four major families of Snow City?

Fine, take them, take them all! I won’t compete with you; they’ll all be yours.

...

Who drugged Chen Mengyun, Lu Chengwen or Hu Shuhui, became a mystery.

Hu Shuhui would never admit it; the crime was too serious. He couldn’t and wouldn’t admit it, as he couldn’t bear the revenge from the Chen family.

So he insisted he was unaware, that Chen Mengyun had approached him, and then Lu Chengwen came to beat him up.

Of course, Lu Chengwen said it was Hu Shuhui, but there was no evidence.

Chen Mengyun’s statement also pointed to Hu Shuhui, saying Lu Chengwen had warned her not to go.

However, this didn’t serve as evidence but instead made Lu Chengwen a major suspect.

Right, are you Lu Chengwen, a fortune-teller or a medium?

How did you know they would be drugged before they even ate? Are you a half-god?

But later, Lu Chengwen did nothing and found Xu Xuejiao to detoxify Chen Mengyun.

Leng Qingqiu also testified that Lu Chengwen had urgently sought her help, found the hotel where they were eating, and then went to save her.

In short, it was a mess.

Zhang Shen’er didn’t believe Lu Chengwen was that kind-hearted.

He would save someone? Ha, don’t joke. He must have drugged her.

There must have been a problem in the middle, and he changed from doing something bad to saving her.

But Leng Qingqiu, Chen Mengyun, and Xu Xuejiao, the three women involved in the case, all said Lu Chengwen was the savior.

This made Zhang Shen’er want to bleed.

What did Lu Chengwen do? Three girls from the major families were protecting him?

These three women had exceptional achievements in their respective fields.

Of course, they were wealthy, well-educated, and had a higher platform than most, so their achievements were normal.

Logically, their vision, perspective, thinking, and intelligence should be much higher than the average person.

But why were they all deceived by Lu Chengwen?

It was infuriating!

Especially Leng Qingqiu, who was frankly the idol of all girls in Snow City.

She was the typical “other people’s child.”

She and Lu Chengwen were always at odds, and she was so annoyed with him that she was about to explode. What happened today? She also got involved and testified that Lu Chengwen was innocent.

In short, the scene was already destroyed, and evidence was missing. Solving this case would take a long time.

And with the principle of “innocent until proven guilty,” they couldn’t do anything to Lu Chengwen or Hu Shuhui.

Lu Chengwen spent the night in the cell, his hair messy, his clothes wrinkled, and his face unwashed as he walked out.

As soon as he came out, he saw Leng Qingqiu, Xu Xuejiao, and Jiang Shihan waiting for him.

Jiang Shihan quickly walked over, and the support team immediately took Lu Chengwen’s coat and put a new one on him.

Jiang Shihan asked with concern: “Mr. Lu, are you okay?”

“Oh, I’m fine.” Lu Chengwen looked at Leng Qingqiu and Xu Xuejiao: “Why are you all here?”

Xu Xuejiao laughed: “To testify for you! You don’t know how much effort it took to prove you’re a good person. I almost used up half a ton of saliva!”

“Thank you.”

Lu Chengwen looked at Leng Qingqiu: “Sorry for keeping you up all night.”

“It’s okay.” Leng Qingqiu was as calm as ever, looking at Zhang Shen’er: “Can we go now?”

Zhang Shen’er frowned: “Of course. But you, Lu Chengwen.”

“Yes.”

Zhang Shen’er held up a restriction order: “Until this case is solved, you are not allowed to leave Snow City. If you need to leave the city, you must get our approval. And during this period, you must be available at all times.”

Lu Chengwen was shocked.

【This is it, I was just planning to escape this city!】

【Damn, now I have to stay in Snow City and compete with Long Aotian for women?】

Xu Xuejiao chuckled.

Leng Qingqiu narrowed her eyes: Can this guy hear Lu Chengwen’s thoughts?

Zhang Shen’er had misunderstood.

She thought Lu Chengwen was the mastermind behind the case and was trying to escape to avoid legal punishment.

She smiled: “Lu Chengwen, are you trying to escape? You won’t get away. I will find the evidence and formally arrest you.”

Lu Chengwen nodded.

【Good luck, you silly woman.】

【You don’t catch the real bad guys but focus on me all day. But it’s good; the more you hate me, the safer I am.】

Zhang Shen’er thought: What’s wrong with this guy? Why is he safer when I hate him?

And who is this Long Aotian he keeps mentioning?

He seems to think I will meet Long Aotian.

This is a clue; I need to remember it!

Xu Xuejiao laughed: “Let’s go, hero. Are you hungry? I’ll treat you to a meal!”

Lu Chengwen smiled slightly.

Leng Qingqiu said: “I have something to do, I’ll go first.”

“Qingqiu.”

Lu Chengwen called her.

“What?”

“Thank you.” Lu Chengwen smiled: “Thank you for believing in me.”

Leng Qingqiu looked at him: “You owe me one.”

“Sure, sure, I owe you. I’ll treat you to a meal another day. No, that’s not good. I... I’ll give you a gift. What do you want? A car? A gold watch? A designer coat?”

Leng Qingqiu said: “If you want to repay me, propose to me.”

“Oh, no problem, I’ll... What!?”

Lu Chengwen shouted.
