How has it changed now?”

Lu Chuan said, “I don’t know either.”

Chu Mengyao bit her lip and stared at him as if trying to see through his soul, “You’re doing this on purpose!

You just want to take advantage of me!”

Lu Chuan had an aggrieved look on his face, “How could that be possible!

Do I look like that kind of shameless person?

It’s really because the cold air has gathered at the chest this time, I don’t want that either!”

Chu Mengyao looked at Lu Chuan with a grievance, wanting to bite him hard, she felt her body getting more and more in pain, no time to delve into whether Lu Chuan was doing it on purpose, and said, “Then you do it over my clothes.”

Lu Chuan said somewhat awkwardly, “It won’t work over the clothes…

I need to…

reach inside; otherwise, the power can’t be transmitted.”

Chu Mengyao closed her eyes and said with tightly furrowed brows, “After this, even if I am tormented to death by this chill, I will not seek your help for treatment again!”

Lu Chuan asked tentatively, “So, you’re agreeing to let me reach inside now?”

Chu Mengyao scolded, “Don’t waste time!

If you dare to touch inappropriately, I’ll kill you!”

Lu Chuan’s gaze fell on her chest, and he swallowed hard, “Relax, I will make it quick.”

He lifted his hand carefully and reached into Chu Mengyao’s neckline.

Warm, soft, smooth.

Lu Chuan tried his best to suppress the improper thoughts in his heart, concentrating, he began to help Chu Mengyao suppress the cold.

“Anyway, I’ve touched them before, I shouldn’t have those thoughts now,” he tried to convince himself.

Half an hour later.

Lu Chuan withdrew his hand, exhaling deeply, “All done.”

This time the chill was much more troublesome than before, with a cunning nature, darting about inside Chu Mengyao’s body, forcing Lu Chuan to constantly move his hands.

This made him feel somewhat strange; theoretically, the extreme cold in Chu Mengyao’s body shouldn’t behave like this.

Chu Mengyao got off the office desk, her symptoms now gone, vitality restored, but her face was abnormally red.

She glared at Lu Chuan with venom, and through gritted teeth cursed, “Despicable!”

Lu Chuan said innocently, “I didn’t do it intentionally, and besides, this was all to treat you.”

Chu Mengyao snorted and started fixing her clothes, “Get out, I don’t want to see you right now.”

Lu Chuan shook his head helplessly and walked towards the door, deliberately raising his voice, “Nowadays, no good deed goes unpunished, truer words have never been spoken.”

Chu Mengyao clenched her fists in anger, thinking to herself that he took such advantage of her just now, and she only called him despicable, yet he felt wronged!

Lu Chuan opened the office door, about to step out, only to see a middle-aged man in a suit, holding a dragon-headed cane, with a square-jawed face and a stern look, standing at the doorway.

Behind him stood two bodyguards wearing sunglasses, their presence imposing.

Lu Chuan, not knowing what these people were here for, said, “Excuse me, I need to get through.”

The middle-aged man looked at him coldly and did not move aside, instead, he forced him back into the office.

When Chu Mengyao saw the middle-aged man, her complexion changed, and she hurried over, saying anxiously, “Dad, why are you here?”

Lu Chuan’s face showed surprise; he hadn’t expected this middle-aged man to be Chu Mengyao’s father, the Family Head of the Chu family, Chu Shanhe.

Chu Shanhe didn’t look at Chu Mengyao but stared at Lu Chuan and asked, “Who is he?”

Chu Mengyao said with guilt, “He’s my…

friend.”

Chu Shanhe frowned, “Friend?

You make friends with this kind of riffraff?”

Lu Chuan felt annoyed, thinking of how Chu Shanhe had unilaterally altered his marriage to Chu Mengyao, and retorted, “Uncle, appearances can be deceiving, and the sea cannot be measured with a bushel; making such judgments after just one glance, isn’t that too arbitrary?”

Chu Shanhe sneered, “Looking at you once is already flattering you.”

Lu Chuan clenched his fists on the spot.

The two bodyguards instantly locked their gazes on him, their presence overwhelming.

Lu Chuan realized he was no match for the two men and had to hold himself back.

Chu Mengyao quickly said, “Dad, Lu Chuan is not as bad as you say.

I’m all grown up, do you have to manage who I make friends with?”

Lu Chuan?

Chu Shanhe found the name somewhat familiar but couldn’t recall where he had heard it.

He looked at Chu Mengyao and asked, “What were you doing inside just now?

Why is your face so red?”

Chu Mengyao lied, “One of my medicinal products had a problem, and Lu Chuan is an expert, so I consulted with him.”

Chu Shanhe coldly said, “Mengyao, do you take me for a fool?”

Chu Mengyao said earnestly, “If you don’t believe me, ask Secretary Wang!”

Chu Shanhe signaled to one of the bodyguards.

The bodyguard quickly left and returned shortly, telling Chu Shanhe, “Family Head, it’s indeed as she said.”

With his doubts extinguished, Chu Shanhe took another look at Lu Chuan, his attitude still condescending, “My daughter is naive, and I’m afraid she’ll be taken advantage of.

I was rude just now, I hope you can understand.”

I haven’t taken advantage of your daughter, I’ve only made a bet with her…

Lu Chuan commented inwardly, but recalling that Chu Shanhe was an elder, he replied, “Understood.”

Chu Shanhe nodded, “I have something to discuss with Mengyao.

You may leave now.”

Lu Chuan had no good impression of Chu Shanhe and did not wish to stay any longer.

Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly noticed a few blood vessels in Chu Shanhe’s eyeballs had turned black, quickly returning to normal.

Because they were so fine, they were hard to notice.

He immediately asked, “Uncle, have you felt any discomfort in your eyes recently, or signs of vision decline?”

Chu Shanhe glanced at him, “My eyes are in very good condition.

What do you mean by that?”

Lu Chuan said, “It’s like this, I know a bit of medicine.

Just now, I observed that there’s something unusual with your eyes.

It’s very likely you’ve been infected with a neurological toxin.

You should go to the hospital to get it checked as soon as possible, otherwise, you might suffer permanent blindness.”

Upon hearing this, Chu Mengyao’s heart tightened.

Chu Shanhe, however, scoffed, “Kid, I merely said you’re not up to par, and you’re going so far as to insinuate that I’m blind?”

Lu Chuan frowned, “Uncle, I’m serious.”

Chu Shanhe curled his lip, “I just had a full physical exam last week, and the doctor even especially praised my eyes for being better than those of young people.

Do you need me to show you the medical report to see for yourself?”

Lu Chuan said, “Uncle, some things can’t be detected by a physical exam.”

“Enough!” Chu Shanhe scolded, “Leave immediately.

Considering Mengyao’s face, I won’t hold this against you.

Stay away from Mengyao in the future, otherwise don’t blame me for not being polite!”

Lu Chuan was speechless.

He had good intentions in warning him, but Chu Shanhe thought he was insulting him.

He was fed up with trying to be nice to someone unappreciative, so he clasped his hands and said, “Uncle, then take care of yourself.

I will take my leave!”

After saying this, he turned and left.

Chu Mengyao said anxiously, “Dad, Lu Chuan’s medical skills are really impressive.

How could he possibly be insinuating anything?

You’re overthinking it.

You should still get your eyes checked.”

Chu Shanhe’s expression turned icy, “What?

Even you think I’m blind?”

Chu Mengyao said, “No, Dad…”

Chu Shanhe snorted, “That kid is just upset because I belittled him, and he’s deliberately trying to annoy me.

And you actually believe him!”

“Mengyao, you need to understand, you and Long Hao are already engaged.

In the future, you should have less contact with this kind of indecent, low-class trash.

How is that kid even fit to be your friend?

Having such people around you will only make the Long family look down on us.”

Chu Mengyao sighed and sat down at the office desk, looking unhappy.

She detested a life dictated by others; marriage was one thing, but now even who she could befriend was being dictated.

She did not see the point in living such a life.

Chu Shanhe stared at Chu Mengyao and asked, “Did you hear what I said?”

“I heard you, Dad.

I have to work now; if you have nothing else, you should go back,” Chu Mengyao replied perfunctorily, pretending to be busy with work.

For a moment, she thought Lu Chuan, that bastard, was actually kind of cute.

…

Lu Chuan returned to the Gold Lake Neighborhood District.

“One day, I’ll make those who looked down on me beg for my forgiveness,” he muttered as he walked, pondering ways to increase his strength.

The way Chu Shanhe treated him today had dealt a significant blow.

Although his potential was limitless, he currently lacked the standing to speak to the Chu family as equals.

Becoming a peerless powerhouse was his only chance.

He had not gone far when a figure dressed in a trench coat, with a ponytail and a striking presence, blocked his path.

Lu Chuan sized up the person in front of him and asked, “Lady, what’s the matter?”

The other party showed her ID and said, “My name is Yu Xin.

I’m in charge of the Censorate Department in East Bridge District.”

“A few days ago, a murder involving a martial artist occurred in Linshui Park.

The victim’s name was Lin Hu.

I’ve checked all the surveillance footage nearby on that day and ultimately confirmed that before the murder took place, you were the only person who had been to Linshui Park.”

As she spoke, she presented the surveillance footage on her phone to Lu Chuan.

“Why did you kill Lin Hu?

And to do it so brutally, is that why you practice martial arts, to harm others?” she asked.

Lu Chuan feigned ignorance, “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

He walked past Yu Xin, continuing on his way.

Yu Xin blocked him again, “You had the courage to kill someone, so why don’t you have the courage to admit it?”

Lu Chuan looked at her and asked, “Do you have evidence to prove that I killed Lin Hu?”

Yu Xin’s face showed a flash of guilt as she held her phone, “This is the evidence!”

Lu Chuan sneered, “Big sister, although I didn’t study law, I still have basic common sense.

Your surveillance footage only proves that I went to Linshui Park; it doesn’t prove that I killed Lin Hu.

Don’t slander me.”

Yu Xin was exposed in an instant and felt somewhat embarrassed, but she quickly recovered and exclaimed, “So you admit that you killed Lin Hu!”

Lu Chuan looked stunned, then turned and walked away.

Yu Xin sneered, “You truly are a heartless beast!

I might not have the evidence to arrest you now, but you killed Lin Hu so brutally.

Have you ever thought about how his wife and children feel?

You monster!”

Lu Chuan stopped, his expression cold as frost.
