Lu Shao is cunning; Miss Nan has fallen for his tricks again.

Chapter 84: Taking the Answer and Demanding the Process

The next morning, Shu Youli obtained Secretary Li's mobile phone number through the contact person who cooperated with the Lu Group.

After careful consideration, Shu Youli made an appointment with Secretary Li to meet.

After receiving the confirmed time, Shu Youli's eyes darkened, and he looked down at the photo of him and Zhang Run on the table.

No matter what he says this time, he wants to deal Shu Hechun a severe blow.

After all these years, he should have had enough of being arrogant.

Secretary Li knocked on the president's office door with a cup of coffee, placed the coffee next to Lu Zhiyan, and then reported on today's schedule.

"President Lu has the company's monthly planning meeting from 9:30 to 10:00, a video conference from 10:30 to 11:30, and an inspection of the subsidiary from 1:00 to 2:00 in the afternoon. In addition, Manager Shu from the Shu Group has scheduled a meeting with you at 4:00 this afternoon." Secretary Li finished speaking in one breath, her face slightly flushed.

Lu Zhiyan picked up his coffee cup without even lifting his eyelids, and blew on the foam on top. "Shu Youli? Did he say what it was about?"

"No, not at all. Mr. Lu, are you going to cancel?" Secretary Li asked cautiously.

Should we push it away? There's no need.

"No need. Did you give me time to practice driving? Also, remember to order a Kawasaki H2."

"Okay, Mr. Lu, I've scheduled the driving practice for the night. As for the vehicle color... do you have any reference photos?"

"I'll send it to you in a bit."

"Alright, Mr. Lu, if there's nothing else, I'll head out now."

Lu Zhiyan nodded without saying anything.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Shu Youli appeared outside Lu Zhiyan's office on time.

Upon seeing the visitor, Secretary Li quickly stood up from her workstation with a slight smile on her lips. "President Shu, President Lu is already waiting for you inside."

Upon hearing this, Shu Youli nodded, but after taking only a couple of steps, he was stopped by Secretary Li.

"Mr. Shu."

Shu Youli turned around in confusion, her brows furrowed.

Seeing Shu Youli's tightly furrowed brows, Secretary Li said calmly, "I just wanted to ask if you'd like coffee or tea?"

Shu Youli parted his thin lips slightly and chose an answer that was not among the options: "Plain water".

Without waiting for Secretary Li to say anything more, he reached out and gently knocked on the office door.

Shu Youli only opened the office door after a cold, low "Come in" came from inside.

Lu Zhiyan stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking down at the clouds outside. Hearing the sound, he turned around.

At that moment, Lu Zhiyan was backlit, his whole body shimmering with golden light, like a god descending to earth.

However, Shu Youli only glanced at it indifferently, and then sat down on the sofa next to him.

He still harbored some hostility towards Lu Zhiyan.

"What do you want?" Lu Zhiyan asked, sitting opposite Shu Youli with a cup of coffee in his hand.

"With your abilities, you must have already found the person who set fire to the warehouse."

Shu Youli spoke with certainty, never doubting Lu Zhiyan's abilities.

"You came here just to express your admiration for me? If that's really the case, you didn't need to make this special trip. A simple phone call to say hello would have sufficed."

Listening to Lu Zhiyan's narcissistic wait for me to speak, Shu Youli felt utterly exhausted, both physically and mentally.

He was momentarily confused. What exactly did Nanxu see in Lu Zhiyan that he himself lacked?

He couldn't understand how he could possibly lose to Lu Zhiyan.

Is it because he's not narcissistic enough?

"Can't you speak properly?" Shu Youli said helplessly, silently rolling her eyes in her mind.

Before he could finish speaking, Lu Zhiyan quickly added, "Could you just state the purpose of your visit?"

They're all grown men, yet they still hesitate and dawdle when they speak.

Lu Zhiyan snorted coldly. "I've consulted a lawyer. This arson is a serious offense and could result in imprisonment."

The four words, "Could be sentenced," fell lightly into Lu Zhiyan's ears, and he couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

What? Are you trying to use him?

"You want to use someone else to do your dirty work? You've got the wrong idea. I'm not going to be someone else's tool."

Lu Zhiyan, who had been nonchalant just moments before, now had a cold expression on his face, with not a trace of his previous smile.

He had been in the business world for many years, and when he was young, he was often taken by Mr. Lu to learn business tactics.

He's always the one in control, and everyone else is the one taking advantage of others. When has anyone ever dared to take advantage of him?
"I know you won't agree so easily. If you help me get this done, consider it a favor I owe you," Shu Youli said calmly.

"Favors? Do you think you have anything I can use to my advantage?" Lu Zhiyan made no attempt to hide his contempt for Shu Youli.

Shu Youli wasn't angry; a faint smile remained on his lips.

"I've said my piece. You have one night to think it over. Call me back when you've made up your mind."

After saying that, Shu Youli got up and left without waiting for Lu Zhiyan to finish speaking.

This was the first time Lu Zhiyan had been treated like this, and a wicked smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

To ask someone for a favor and still have this kind of attitude, I really owe him something.

Thinking of Nan Xu's instructions, Lu Zhiyan couldn't help but feel a little irritated.

Before going to sleep, Nan Xu sent a message to Lu Zhiyan.

The gist of it is: Zhang Run has always treated her well since she was a child. If Shu Youli has any difficulties, she should help him if she can, as a way of repaying Zhang Run for his kindness over the years.

Is Shu Youli here to ask for the process, not the answer?
Secretary Li had just stepped out of the tea room with a glass of water when she saw Shu Youli coming out of the president's office.

"Mr. Shu, here's your plain water."

Shu Youli glanced at the water in Secretary Li's hand. "Thank you, but no need."

No?
Weren't you thirsty and came out to find water? What did you talk about that was over so quickly?

Secretary Li's eyes were full of curiosity, forgetting that Shu Youli was still standing in front of her. Shu Youli glanced at him and pressed the elevator button.

By the time Secretary Li looked away, Shu Youli had already left in the elevator.

Secretary Li placed the water glass on the nearest workstation, then jogged into the office. "President Lu, what did you two talk about? Why so fast?"

Lu Zhiyan was already feeling irritable when Secretary Li came up, and he ended up walking right into the line of fire.

"Get out!" Lu Zhiyan said with a frown and an unfriendly tone.

Secretary Li pursed her lips and dashed out in a flash.

He got scolded again.

A short while later, Lu Zhiyan summoned the head of the legal department and the company's legal counsel.

After joint discussion, the two reached a final conclusion.

At least three years. Fortunately, no one was injured this time, but because the Lu Group suffered significant losses, the arsonist could be sentenced to more than ten years in prison.

Lu Zhiyan picked up the files of Shu Qingze, Shu Qinglin, and Shu Qingfeng on the table and read them carefully several times.

Furthermore, the surveillance footage from the fire-prone section confirms that Shu Qingze and Shu Qingfeng were definitely involved in arson.

As for Shu Qinglin, it remains to be seen, but it is estimated that he will also be implicated.

However, if you want to find evidence, it's not necessarily impossible.

The next step is to ask Shu Youli for his opinion and thoughts.

See which one he most wants to get rid of first.

Thinking about it, Lu Zhiyan's lips curled into a smile. He really enjoyed this kind of infighting.
