"How could this be... how could this happen?"

Hu Chenghui stared intently at the glaring document on the table, his face gradually darkening from astonishment to a grimace.

He turned his head sharply, his gaze piercing like a knife as he looked at the man in a suit next to him who was responsible for printing contracts.

"Bang!"

Without warning, he raised his leg and delivered a vicious kick, striking the man squarely in the abdomen.

The man in the suit groaned and slammed heavily against the wall. Before he could catch his breath, his collar was grabbed by a hand as strong as an iron clamp, and a murderous aura shot straight to his face.

"Open your dog eyes and look at what you've printed!" Hu Chenghui roared, his spittle almost hitting the other man's face.

The man in the suit looked aggrieved, his face contorted in pain, but he dared not struggle. He could only try his best to see what was wrong with the contract.

The more he looked, the more astonished he became: "No... wait a minute, boss! This isn't the copy I printed! We checked it word for word last night, it's definitely an acquisition contract, it couldn't possibly be a GG sponsorship!"

"Then tell me the hell what this is? Huh?!" Hu Chenghui shoved the contract hard in front of his face, the edge of the paper almost slicing through the other man's nose.

Time waits for no one. If he were twenty years younger, he would have already swiftly chopped off this good-for-nothing's head.

"Brother Hui, don't overreact." Lu Yuan waved his hand at the right moment, his tone nonchalant, "It really wasn't your men's fault."


Hu Chenghui suddenly turned his head, his eyes bloodshot, staring intently at Lu Yuan. His gaze was so venomous it seemed to shoot out scorching lasers, as if he wanted to burn a hole in Lu Yuan's forehead on the spot.

But soon, he belatedly realized that this was definitely Lu Yuan's doing.

But here's the problem: the contract was printed, checked, and kept by my own people throughout the entire process, right under my nose from beginning to end. How could it possibly have changed out of thin air?

and many more!

A thought flashed into his mind like lightning. Last night, Lu Yuan had insisted on seeing the electronic version of the contract.

What does he need an electronic contract for?

Hu Chenghui turned his head sharply, looking at Lu Yuan in shock: "You wanted the electronic version just to modify the terms and then switch it out?!"

"Hehe, Brother Hui, you're really something, you guessed right again." Lu Yuan yawned lazily, rubbed his temples, and looked exhausted. "What do you think I stayed up all night for? It was all about figuring out how to revise the contract. I had to make it work for my advantage without letting you spot any flaws. It really took a lot of brainpower."

"Then how did you switch them?" Hu Chenghui asked through gritted teeth.

He could figure it out: Lu Yuan's spy-like attire today was to hide the contract he had printed.

But he really couldn't understand how Lu Yuan could have had the chance to switch the items since Lu Yuan had never left his sight the whole time.

Could this person possibly perform a magic trick like Liu Qian, changing dozens of pages of a contract in full view of everyone?

"Guess again! Guess boldly!" Lu Yuan didn't answer, but instead raised his eyebrows with interest.

Hu Chenghui frowned, his mind replaying every detail frantically. Suddenly, his pupils contracted, and a name slipped out:

"Ye Yixian!"

Yes! That's her!

She suddenly burst into the private room, holding up an ultrasound report, crying and making a scene. It seemed like a young girl had suffered a great injustice and came to ask everyone for justice, but in reality, she was trying to attract everyone's attention and create the perfect opportunity for Lu Yuan to switch the report!

"You guessed it?" Lu Yuan leaned forward slightly, smiling broadly.

Hu Chenghui was so angry that he trembled all over, his teeth grinding together, wishing he could devour the man in front of him whole.

Lu Yuan calmly took out his phone and sent a voice message: "Yi Xian, come in and show your face, let Brother Hui see what a movie queen's self-cultivation is like."

The words had barely left her lips when the door to the private room was pushed open. Ye Yixian jogged in, naturally taking Lu Yuan's arm, tilting her head back with a beaming smile, showing no trace of her earlier wailing and lamenting.

Enraged, Hu Chenghui pointed at Ye Yixian's nose and shouted, "You're not pregnant?!"

"Nonsense!" Ye Yixian rolled her eyes and said fearlessly, "I just got my period a couple of days ago, how could I be pregnant? Uncle, at your age, don't you have any common sense?"

Upon hearing this, Hu Chenghui almost vomited blood on the spot.

"You're too proud." Lu Yuan affectionately patted Ye Yixian's head, but his tone was somewhat critical. "Actually, your performance just now was still a bit lacking. Your micro-expressions were too exaggerated and overdone. They might be easy to fool, but in my eyes, it's still not quite there yet."

"This is my first time acting, and I'm already pretty good at it!" Ye Yixian pouted, looking unconvinced.

"Okay, okay, our Yixian is the best." Seeing that she was unhappy, Lu Yuan immediately coaxed her gently.

This oblivious display of affection completely ignited Hu Chenghui's anger. Enraged and humiliated, he suddenly lunged forward to attack.

Unexpectedly, Ye Yixian reacted extremely quickly, raising his hand and throwing a punch that landed precisely on Hu Chenghui's nose.

With a sharp "crack," Hu Chenghui screamed and staggered backward, clutching his nose. Before he could regain his footing, Ye Yixian delivered another vicious kick, striking him squarely in the groin.

At that moment, all the men in the private room seemed to hear the sound of an egg breaking, and they all instinctively clenched their legs together, feeling a phantom pain in their groin.

Hu Chenghui clutched his groin, his face contorted in pain, cold sweat quickly soaking through his shirt.

If he hadn't been holding onto the edge of the table so tightly, he would have collapsed to his knees from the pain.

Lu Yuan then realized what was happening and smiled faintly, "Sorry, Brother Hui, my girlfriend used to get into fights with thugs a lot, and she doesn't hold back. You'd better be careful next time and don't do anything reckless."

"What are you all standing there for?!" Hu Chenghui's voice was hoarse with pain as he roared at his men, "Clean them up! Throw the corpses in the river to feed the fish!"

At his command, seven or eight men in suits, their eyes gleaming with malice, surrounded him like wolves.

The three were prepared. Lu Yuan kicked a man in a suit who was blocking the door, sending him staggering back three steps. The three of them took the opportunity to rush out of the private room.

"Help! I'm being molested! Help!"

As soon as Ye Yixian stepped out, she started shouting at the top of her lungs, tears welling up in her eyes as she cried her heart out.

The waiters and guests in the restaurant all turned to look. The men in suits had just chased after them when they were immediately targeted by countless eyes and cell phone cameras, and they froze on the spot, hesitant to act.

"What's going on?" The hotel owner rushed over upon hearing the noise, followed by several waiters.

"They...they're bullying me! They tried to assault me!" Ye Yixian hid behind Lu Yuan, her eyes brimming with tears, looking utterly pitiful.

When the shop owner saw this, he realized that someone was bullying a young girl in his shop. Wasn't this a clear case of organized crime?

He immediately stepped between the two groups: "Gentlemen, don't cause trouble! Let's talk this out. If we can't resolve this, we'll call the police!"

"Need not!"

Upon hearing the words "call the police," Hu Chenghui immediately intervened to stop him.

He staggered out, cold sweat streaming down his face, his features twitching from the pain, but he still tried to appear calm: "It's just a misunderstanding, no need to make a big deal out of it."

Although he has some influence, he is not powerful enough to control everything.

In this situation, if things escalate to the point of arrest, it will do him absolutely no good.

The shopkeeper was skeptical, then looked at Lu Yuan and the other two. Ye Yixian remained hiding behind Lu Yuan, looking aggrieved, while Lu Yuan nodded slightly to the shopkeeper, indicating that the matter could be resolved privately.

Hu Chenghui had his men slip some money to the boss to try and downplay the matter.

Before leaving, he leaned close to Lu Yuan, lowered his voice, and said in a sinister tone, "Brother Lu, you've really thought you were being clever this time. Don't you know how I've gotten by before? I guarantee that within half a month, you and your whole family will pay the price."

As he spoke, he glanced at Ye Yixian again, his eyes lewd: "Your little girlfriend is not bad, she's very young. The men under me all like girls this young."

Faced with the threat, Lu Yuan sneered, then his expression turned cold as he stared intently at Hu Chenghui: "Brother Hui, do you think I wouldn't have anticipated your retaliation after setting up such a grand scheme?"

"Knowing that you still dare to..."

Hu Chenghui was about to make a sarcastic remark when, before he could finish speaking, he was struck dumb, his expression freezing instantly.

Yes, since Lu Yuan dared to play like this, how could he possibly let the tiger return to the mountain? If he didn't nip it in the bud, wouldn't this whole thing end badly?

Lu Yuan's lips curled into a sinister smile, which, in Hu Chenghui's eyes, sounded like the whisper of a demon.

He said in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Brother Hui, don't talk tough when you're about to die. Instead, leave me a good impression so I can visit you in prison when I think of you in the future."

"What do you mean?" Hu Chenghui's back was instantly soaked with cold sweat.

At this moment, Gao Zhe moved closer to his other side and said in the same lighthearted tone, "The eldest son of the Lin family is my brother-in-law, and my sister dotes on me the most. Guess what? If I were threatened in the provincial capital, wouldn't my brother-in-law stand up for me?"

"..."

Hu Chenghui's clenched fist trembled slightly, and a chill ran from the soles of his feet straight to the top of his head.

Fear overwhelmed him like a tidal wave.

Lu Yuan reached out and patted him on the shoulder, then straightened his slightly disheveled collar, his tone as gentle as if he were advising an old friend: "Brother Hui, you like doing business, right? You'll spend the rest of your life in jail."
