Chapter 56

Lu Chengwu cautiously walked out: "Hehe, Sister-in-law."

Lu Chengwen glared at him: "What are you shouting for?"

"Just calling!" Chen Mengyun said: "Tell me, am I your sister-in-law or not?"

"Of course!" Lu Chengwu said: "I don't recognize any other woman in this world, just you, my sister-in-law! You're the only sister-in-law I have!"

"Good answer! If any other woman tries to ruin the relationship between you and your brother, what would you do?"

"I'll beat her to death, the shameless one!"

Chen Mengyun looked at Lu Chengwen smugly: "How about that?"

Lu Chengwen thought, "Alright."

[This principle-less guy, meeting someone as stubborn as Chen Mengyun, you two are really something.]

Lu Chengwu smiled and said: "Sister-in-law, I'm a bit short on cash these days."

"How much do you need?"

"Twenty million."

Lu Chengwen was immediately alarmed: "What do you need twenty million for?"

Chen Mengyun angrily said: "You can spend tens of millions on a luxury house, but my little brother-in-law can't have twenty million for pocket money? I'll go to my company tomorrow and get the money for you."

"Thank you, Sister-in-law!"

Lu Chengwen pointed at Lu Chengwu and gritted his teeth: "If you dare to go, I'll beat you to death!"

"Brother, don't always make Sister-in-law angry."

"I'll beat you to death right now!"

Chen Mengyun walked up to Lu Chengwen, her hair disheveled, and stared at him fiercely, making Lu Chengwen feel a bit scared.

"Mengyun, you..."

"Lu Chengwen, let me be clear, you can't marry anyone else in this life, you can only marry me! Even if I die, I'll die in the Lu family!"

At that moment, Zhao Gang walked in: "President Lu, President Chen, Young Master..."

"Speak up if you have something to say," Lu Chengwen said irritably.

"Officer Zhang is here."

Lu Chengwen felt like he was about to die.

He tore off his tie and threw it on the coffee table, then plopped down on the sofa: "Oh God! Let me die! It's boiling over!"

Lu Chengwen said: "You all go inside and rest for a while, go upstairs."

"Why should we?!" Chen Mengyun said.

"I have a case hanging over me, just to save you, this stubborn one! I'm a wanted man now! How could you forget? You were so eager to have dinner with Hu Shuhui, and he drugged you, almost ruining your body. If I hadn't shown up in time, you would be Mrs. Hu by now!"

Chen Mengyun felt wronged and pulled on Lu Chengwen's sleeve: "I know I was wrong, don't be so mean! I won't do it again, I'll only have dinner with you from now on, okay?"

Lu Chengwen didn't know what to say to this woman anymore.

"Go hide, hide! Aren't you embarrassed to see Officer Zhang?"

"I know!" Chen Mengyun pulled Lu Chengwu back to hide.

Tang Yiyi felt like she was seeing a ghost.

What kind of plot is this!?

Xu Xuejiao, the talented woman of the Xu family, actively tried to seduce Lu Chengwen, dressed in a bunny outfit!

Chen Mengyun from the Chen family also came here, determined to be with Lu Chengwen!

Is Lu Chengwen really worth it!?

But listening to this, the pharmaceutical factory incident has nothing to do with Lu Chengwen, he's the one putting out fires!

And the slum project, is this guy really not planning to make money?

From this perspective, Lu Chengwen is not the kind of villain people say he is, but a conscientious capitalist!

Investing hundreds of billions in infrastructure and guaranteeing the capital recovery of all investment partners, he's practically a saint!

We got it wrong!?

Lu Chengwen felt exhausted: "Let Officer Zhang come in."

Officer Zhang stood in the foyer: "I'm already in."

"Oh, Officer Zhang, please sit down."

Officer Zhang, accompanied by an intern police officer, sat on the sofa.

She didn't say anything, just stared at Lu Chengwen with a stern face.

Lu Chengwen said weakly: "Zhao Gang, entertain the two officers."

"No need," Officer Zhang said: "I heard your conversation with Miss Chen just now. It seems I really wronged you?"

Lu Chengwen looked at Officer Zhang, too tired to argue.

"Officer Zhang, I know you don't think much of me. It's fine, I don't care. I don't care if you wronged me or not. If you have evidence, sentence me; if not, lift the restriction order on me. I don't want to stay in this city for a minute longer."

Officer Zhang smiled: "We've already investigated, your suspicion has been cleared. I'm here to tell you that the restriction order is lifted."

She took out a document: "Sign here, and you'll be free."

Lu Chengwen took the pen and signed quickly.

"Sign without even looking?"

Lu Chengwen handed the pen back to the intern officer and looked at Officer Zhang: "You're the kind of person who wouldn't do anything to harm others, I trust you."

Officer Zhang stood up and looked around: "Nice house."

"Is there anything else, Officer Zhang?"

Officer Zhang smiled slightly: "Alright, I know you can't wait for me to leave. We'll see each other again. Lu Chengwen, I'll be watching you."

"Thank you."

At that moment, Zhao Gang stumbled in again: "President Lu, it's bad! Long... Long Aotian is here!"

Lu Chengwen was very surprised: "Long Aotian!? Impossible! He was beaten to a pulp by Iron Lump Wang, how could he stand up!?"

"I don't know, but it's definitely him!"

Lu Chengwen clenched his fists: "Damn!"

[Is the plot moving so fast? Iron Lump Wang beat him to unconsciousness, how could he wake up so quickly!]

[The protagonist is the protagonist, completely unreasonable!]

[Is today my death day!? I'm so unwilling!]

Officer Zhang felt something was off.

Long Aotian? This person Lu Chengwen often mentions, always saying he's very powerful and firmly believes he will become Long Aotian's harem.

Today, I'll see who this person is, and how I became his harem.

Officer Zhang smiled slightly: "It seems President Lu has offended quite a few people? Who is Long Aotian, another young master from a powerful family?"

Lu Chengwen nervously said: "I won't keep you, please go back quickly."

Officer Zhang took out a recorder and placed it behind the sofa cushion: "I'll record it. If he tries to hurt you, I can save you."

Lu Chengwen smiled bitterly: "Alright, then go hide in the room."

As Officer Zhang went in, the room was already full of people.

No one recognized Tang Yiyi, but Officer Zhang did: "Yiyi?"

"Shen'er."

"How did you get here?"

"I..."

Officer Zhang understood, her journalist friend was at it again.

Looking around, she saw Lu Chengwu, Xu Xuejiao, and Chen Mengyun, all familiar faces.

Several people in the room were all very awkward.

Each had their own agenda, each had a complicated relationship with Lu Chengwen.

Long Aotian walked into the hall and laughed loudly: "Lu Chengwen, what a grand house!"

Lu Chengwen looked at him: "You... are you alright?"

Long Aotian laughed heartily, went to the wine cabinet, opened it, picked up a bottle of foreign liquor, and came out with two glasses: "Have a drink with me."

"Are you going to attack me? No need to act tough, just do it if you want to."

"Not yet." Long Aotian was extremely confident, seeing Lu Chengwen's nervousness, he smiled and unscrewed the bottle cap to pour the wine:

"Sometimes, I really feel fate is a strange thing. You're rich, tall, and handsome, but you have a fatal flaw. Do you know what it is?"

Lu Chengwen sighed: "I don't know, please enlighten me."

Long Aotian handed a glass of wine to Lu Chengwen and said: "You have no brains."

Lu Chengwen's mouth twitched, but he didn't say anything.

Long Aotian sat on the sofa, crossed his legs, and swirled the wine glass: "I know, you won't be convinced. Let me tell you, if you were smart, you would know that I, Long Aotian, am someone you can't provoke."

"You lust after the beauty of Leng Qingqiu, Xu Xuejiao, Chen Mengyun, and others, I can understand. But you should look in the mirror, do you have the strength to compete with me, Long Aotian? I can make you disappear from this world with just a snap of my fingers, do you understand?"

Lu Chengwen sighed, picked up the wine glass, swirled it, and took a sip to calm down.

"Whether you believe it or not, I never intended to get engaged to Leng Qingqiu from the beginning. Xu Xuejiao was a misunderstanding, I have no interest in her; as for Chen Mengyun, we broke up three years ago..."

Long Aotian waved his finger to interrupt: "That doesn't matter now. The issue is... you've pissed me off, and we need to settle this."

Lu Chengwen sighed: "How do you want to settle it? Beat me to death?"

"Ha ha ha!" Long Aotian laughed heartily: "Not yet, but you embezzled fifty billion from my subordinates, and you need to pay it back."

"No problem." Lu Chengwen said: "I can transfer it to you first thing tomorrow."

"Also, the slum project, I want you to withdraw and breach the contract."

"I've already signed a contract with the government."

"I don't care. The Lu family can't be ruined by you. If the Lu family goes bankrupt, it won't be good for me."

"From this, it seems you won't let the Lu family or me off the hook?"

Long Aotian stood up: "You're smart, smarter than I thought. Although you're just a commoner, in my eyes, you're just a pile of mud, a lowly dog. But you do have some brains."

Long Aotian took a sip of wine: "There's one thing I don't understand?"

"Go on."

"Why did you recover so quickly from Iron Lump Wang's beating?"

"Ha ha, you seem to have forgotten, I'm a divine doctor, a master of alchemy, and I can make a Bone Healing and Vitality Pill."

Bone Healing and Vitality Pill.

Xu Xuejiao, who was listening inside, frowned.

Chen Mengyun whispered: "Is it a powerful pill?"

Xu Xuejiao nodded solemnly: "A pill that exists in ancient legends, capable of healing all broken and shattered bones within twenty-four hours. If the user is a cultivation expert or has a special constitution, the time is even shorter. From the time Long Aotian disappeared, he likely has both."

Tang Yiyi looked confused: "This isn't scientific!?"

Xu Xuejiao gave her a cold look:

"As I said, it's from ancient legends. Many modern people consider the Bone Healing and Vitality Pill a 'mythical' name from ancient pharmacies, a product of feudal superstition. Many modern experts have tried to replicate such ancient wonder drugs, but none have succeeded."

Officer Zhang laughed: "A street con artist says a few things, and you believe it? I'm a detective, a person with seventy broken bones, surviving is a miracle, let alone walking in less than half a year."

Xu Xuejiao gave Officer Zhang a cold look: "A few days ago, you were convinced that Brother Chengwen was the suspect who drugged Sister Mengyun. If you don't understand, just listen quietly."

"You..."

Lu Chengwu laughed: "Everyone, stop arguing, let's listen to what they're saying."

...

Lu Chengwen nodded: "Since you're so capable, why didn't you fight back when Iron Lump Wang attacked you?"

Mentioning this, Long Aotian glared: "Because I used the Shape-Shifting and Face-Changing Technique. Using this technique, I can't mobilize my true energy for a few hours, which is why that fool got the upper hand."

"You came here just for the fifty billion and to make me withdraw from the slum project?"

"There's one more thing."

"Go on."

"I want your five hundred billion to fund the amusement park project."

Lu Chengwen's eyes widened, looking at Long Aotian in disbelief.
