Yan Zi’s lips curled a little as she tried her best to contain her elation. No matter how calm she looked on the surface, her feet revealed her joy as she leaped toward Shi Ze and hugged him.

He hugged her back all smiles.

Truly, it was the most comfortable when he was with Yan Zi—this was the woman most suited for him.

Carrying Yan Zi, he was prepared to take her into the shower together when his phone rang.

Letting go of her, he picked it up. Yan Zi did not know what conspired through the call, but Shi Ze’s hands were gripped tightly as his veins popped out.

Looking at him, she frowned and asked hurriedly after he finally hung up, “What’s wrong?”

“I’ve created such a divisive topic, and that video is clearly akin to an iron hammer. Yet, why did they agree to let Lu Yanchen out on bail?”

Yan Zi was stumped. “Bail? But, he killed someone! How could he be bailed out?”

Shi Ze’s fists were curled tightly as his face was malefic. He did not believe that the Lus would be able to reign over everything with an iron fist. To think that they would be able to free him with their power despite the huge hoo-ha, ensuring that he was fine!

If that was truly the case, that would mean that the Lus must be exerting the ends of their power by now. After all, a tall willow would attract wind. From the dark, there were always people who were waiting to take over the position of the Lu Family. Shi Ze wanted to see if the Lus would continue with this risk for the sake of their son.

After thinking through things, he smiled to Yan Zi. “It’s fine, I was just flustered for the moment. Let them bail him out then. Perhaps, we could even make use of this opportunity to topple the Lus.”

“For real?” Yan Zi was overwhelmed with joy.

“Of course! All we have to do is add fuel to the flames.”

Shi Ze laughed out ominously as the bloodthirst within him roared furiously. He refused to believe that Lu Yanchen would be able to get out of this entire incident scot-free!

…

After being detained for a full 24 hours, Lu Yanchen was let off through bail. However, it wasn’t anyone of the Lus that had come to bail Lu Yanchen out—it was Chu Mubei.

Chu Mubei had initially thought that Lu Yanchen would look rather worn out. Instead, not only did he look calm, it was as though he was even relaxed. Chu Mubei truly did not know whether to laugh or cry.

He sighed out while clutching his temple. “Old Lu, it’s a storm out here and we’re all flustered working our asses off. Even Shi Guang is so anxious that she’s about to break down. Yet, how are you looking so unworried?”

It was at the mention of Shi Guang that Lu Yanchen’s expression finally changed. “What’s wrong with her? Didn’t I tell her not to worry and that I’ll be fine?”

“You do know that the video showing you pushing someone down is authentic, right? Shi Guang said that you only went up after receiving a phone call. To be honest, I wouldn’t believe it entirely if you told me that you headed up without any form of backup plan.” Chu Mubei gave the “Oh I know you so well” look. “When we asked for bail earlier on, they refused to let us no matter what. But, how were you suddenly able to be bailed out? You must have done something, right?”

“Is she outside?” Lu Yanchen did not reply Chu Mubei—his entire mind was filled with Shi Guang right now.

“That’s right, she’s in the car outside waiting for you. I had Little Chen wait with her.” Little Chen was Lu Yanchen’s assistant.

“We’ll talk more after getting back.” Lu Yanchen said as he walked out.

Even though Chu Mubei asked Shi Guang to wait in the car, she could not bear with the anxiousness and got down. Instantly, she was swarmed with reporters from out of nowhere as she jumped.

Instantly, Little Chen rushed forth and protected Shi Guang behind him. However, he could not stop the bombardment of the reporters entirely.

“Miss Shi, were you there when Lu Yanchen pushed someone down?”

“Miss Shi, are the rumors on the internet true that Lu Yanchen killed because of you?”

“Miss Shi, has Lu Yanchen considered the social backlash for his disregard of human life?”
