Chapter 81 Lu Chuan, this person
"Jiang Po, look at this person."
Li Zhu immediately called Jiang Po over. He pointed to the portrait with half its face in shadow and half in light, lost in thought.
Jiang Po stood at the other end of a row of photos, striding over them. The middle of his thick eyebrows was broken, as if he had been cut in half by a sharp blade. He walked over with a fierce aura.
He used his toes to hook the photo out, picked it up, dusted it off, and squinted at the person in the photo.
Li Zhu wasn't as tall as him, so he unconsciously stood on tiptoe and glanced at the person above him, somewhat puzzled.
"Wasn't Zhou Li sent abroad? How come he's back now, and even swaggering right under the boss's nose? Isn't he afraid of dying?"
Jiang Po casually tossed the photo onto Assistant Li, then itching to pull out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket.
"The boss knew he was back long ago. He was involved in the land deal in the south of the city last time. That kid from the Li family was just used as a pawn by him. Fortunately, Old Master Li wasn't senile. He hardened his heart and personally sent his grandson to prison, barely managing to preserve the reputation that the Li family had built up over the years."
He glanced at Assistant Li, then walked out, a cigarette dangling from his lips, stepping over a pile of photos.

The black lighter emitted its last spark, and the flickering smoke shrouded Jiang Po's face. He glanced at the person inside, hands on hips, still deep in thought, then raised his hand and dialed the number without hesitation.
"Boss, I found it, it's the weekly calendar."
Jiang Ci had anticipated this, and he asked, "Have you found any communication between Zhou Li and Lu Chuan?"
Jiang Po hadn't expected this task, and felt a rare pang of regret. He vaguely replied, "Still investigating."
Jiang Ci's voice was somewhat cold, as if it had been quenched with ice.
"What's wrong with making the call in several installments? When investigating Lu Chuan, be careful; he's not under Bai Linlin's control. Don't be fooled by that."
Jiang Po was very obedient in front of his boss. Seeing the person inside walk out in disbelief, he quickly responded, hung up the phone in a flash, and threw his cigarette butt into the trash can.
"You, you, you actually stole my sales figures! I noticed it first!"
Li Zhuxin was completely devastated. He pointed at Jiang Po and stood there dumbfounded for a long time.
Hey, this kid really holds a grudge. Last time at the construction site, Assistant Li rushed to report and won the boss's favor, but this time he was caught off guard and Jiang Po broke into his house.
This kid looks 'quite honest,' yet he's doing this awful thing.
His performance and bonuses!
Jiang Po leaned casually against the wall, glanced at him sideways, and spoke slowly.
"The boss said to investigate the relationship between Lu Chuan and Zhou Li. They're in cahoots now, there's something fishy going on. Also, Lu Chuan isn't as simple as he seems."
Assistant Li was stunned; he hadn't expected such a turn of events.
……
In a detached villa beside Emerald Lake,
Bai Linlin is absolutely too afraid to go out now. Sheng Shen has been investigating her for some time now, and he's even gone so far as to send people to kidnap her!
She had no idea what she had done.
Fortunately, he was just a supporting male character and didn't have any special abilities. But she had a system and managed to avoid it beforehand. Sometimes, unexpected events are hard to prevent. After all, Sheng Shen was the male lead's friend; what if the male lead intervened?
This broken system will be completely useless due to the male protagonist's obstruction; it will be no different from a piece of scrap metal.
Bai Linlin remained holed up in the villa, staring venomously at the two women in the photo.
—Bai Susu and Shen Xi.
She has a brainless older sister and a defeated enemy from her past life.
Her gentle, harmless eyes instantly turned cold, her gaze fixed on the person in the photo as if it were poisoned, her face fierce and ferocious.
"It's okay, you'll understand the suffering I've gone through, Bai Susu, you too..."
Bai Linlin's fingernails dug deeply into the table, the sharp nails scraping against the surface with a piercing sound.
The maid sweeping outside instinctively shuddered, instinctively covering her face in fear, her legs trembling as she stood there, too afraid to move.
Bai Linlin frantically kept calling Lu Chuan. The phone rang twice, and the person on the other end answered almost immediately, their voice gentle.
"Linlin, what's wrong?"
Bai Linlin's sweet, innocent tone contrasted sharply with her venomous face reflected in the mirror.
"Achuan, there are so many people at the villa entrance trying to bully me! I'm so scared! Can you come back and stay with me?"
The man on the other end of the line sounded anxious and agitated, “Who is this, daring to cause trouble on my turf? I’ll send people back to protect you right now. Don’t be afraid, no one can hurt you.”
He paused after speaking, then said, "Honey, I'm out negotiating a contract right now. Once this contract is finalized, we'll be on the next level. You'll be the richest woman in the capital, and no one will be able to step on your head."
It must be said, strike the snake at its vital point.
Bai Linlin was tempted. Her mind wavered, and the greedy joy in her eyes was palpable. A radiant smile spread across her face.
"Alright then, you're only allowed to not come back this time. Next time, you have to protect me when I'm in danger, okay? I'm punishing you by making you come back tomorrow night to warm my bed, hmph."
"I am very sure of that."
……
Lu Group
The assistant looked down at the ground, motionless, but a storm was raging in his heart. He watched as his boss, expressionless, uttered sweet words to coax the unsuspecting woman opposite him.
His hands, holding the documents, were a little numb. He thought his boss was just a love-struck fool, brainless, and only knew how to coax women like in novels, constantly saying things like "it's getting cold and the king is broken."
It seems he was being superficial.
Lu Chuan casually tossed the phone aside, his eyes filled with deep mockery. He couldn't afford to completely break off relations yet; this woman still had some use.
He looked up at the assistant with a slight smile.
"Do you know what you can say today, and what you can't say?"
The assistant lowered his head in shock. "Boss, I understand."
Lu Chuan glanced at the bright spring weather outside, his tone gentle, but his words were both playful and sarcastic.
"The time isn't right yet, she can't die, but what's wrong with playing around?"
The assistant wisely remained silent, and the atmosphere was eerily quiet. For a moment, it felt as if an invisible hand was gripping his throat, forcing him to remain completely still.
He met his boss for the first time today.
Lu Chuan casually spun his office chair, his eyelids twitched, a smile spread across his face, and his dark pupils were somewhat eerie.
"Assistant, will Jiang Ci be able to win the bid this time?"
He seemed to be asking the assistant general manager, but also seemed to be asking himself.
The assistant would definitely agree with him, and he carefully observed the boss's expression.
"No, our Lu family will definitely win the bid."
Lu Chuan's smile was unpredictable, his tone enigmatic.
"What qualifications does the Lu family have?"
"It would be better if he won the bid. I have a big surprise waiting for him after he wins the bid."
His tone was full of piety and anticipation, as if he had truly seen that day arrive.
The assistant bowed his head, roaring with rage in his heart.
His boss is absolutely insane!!!
