Transmigrated into a female-oriented novel, and put an end to the domineering CEOs all over the city

Just then, the waiter brought over two cups of coffee and carefully placed them in front of the two of them. The white porcelain cups were steaming, and the aroma of coffee filled the air between them.

Lu Jingxiu picked up a small spoon and slowly stirred the coffee in his cup, saying casually, "You don't need to leave. You can stay in the apartment I gave you for now."

Lin Yutang was stunned for a moment, then looked up at him.

"Since you're going to look for a job anyway," Lu Jingxiu continued, "why not look in Ba City? There are more opportunities and bigger platforms in big cities."

Lin Yutang was indeed a little thirsty. She picked up the cup of coffee that Lu Jingxiu had pushed over, carefully blew on it, and took a small sip.

It has just the right amount of sweetness, a rich and mellow flavor, and a sweet aroma of milk.

"I added a little sugar for you," Lu Jingxiu said casually, "in case you found it too bitter."

Lin Yutang's lips curved slightly, revealing a very faint smile.

But her smile quickly vanished. She put down her cup, her voice tinged with worry: "But... Trish also has influence here, I'm afraid..."

"This is a major city," Lu Jingxiu interrupted her, looking at her calmly. "A metropolis with tens of millions of people, with a complex web of relationships, no one has the power to control everything here."

He paused, then said slowly and deliberately, "If you really go to a remote small city, where you don't know anyone and are isolated from information, then you'll truly be helpless. At that time, it will be even easier for him to do whatever he wants."

Lin Yutang didn't say anything, but she felt that what he said made sense.

In smaller cities, there are fewer checks and balances, making it easier for someone to do whatever they want.

In a metropolis like Bashi, at least there are rules, people, and countless eyes watching.

"You can focus on your studies in the apartment," Lu Jingxiu continued, seeing that she was listening. "You can start preparing for the civil service exam directly."

Lin Yutang blinked, seemingly not quite understanding the twist.

"Don't you think Trish has too much power and you can't do anything about him?" Lu Jingxiu looked at her seriously. "Then you should get into the disciplinary inspection department or the law enforcement department. Use the law and the rules to deal with him."

Lin Yutang's eyes widened slightly.

Lu Jingxiu continued, having already prepared these words on his way back:

"Simply running away won't solve the problem. Don't you want revenge?"

"Do you expect that when you see other people like you, manipulated by capital and power, you can only stand by and shed tears for them?"

"You can put on the uniform and take up the weapon of law. You can uphold fairness in this city and protect those who need protection."

"At that time, everything you do will be in accordance with the law and regulations, and will be for the service of the people. No one will be able to say anything about it."

"Even if Trish wanted to do something to you, it would be far more difficult than doing something to an ordinary person."

After Lu Jingxiu finished speaking, he picked up his coffee and took a sip. He had already thought through Lin Yutang's arrangements on the way here.

Originally, he was just passing by and casually called the police; he had no intention of getting involved in this messy affair of a German CEO imprisoning a lover.

But since Trish was so tactless, insisting on pestering him and even trying to get him arrested.

Then this matter cannot be left unresolved.

He's determined to help Lin Yutang.

Besides, she is indeed very beautiful.

Forget about being a domineering CEO; your woman is wonderful, and she'll be mine from now on.

Lin Yutang stared intently at Lu Jingxiu, her eyes unblinking. The soft light from the coffee shop fell on her face, making her eyes appear exceptionally bright.

She lowered her head, staring at the slightly swirling coffee in the cup, and thought for a long time.

It seems... doing it this way is really good.

Suddenly, a series of exclamations rang out in the coffee shop.

Several customers by the window put down their cups, craned their necks to look at the street, and some even subconsciously stood up and took two steps back.

This cafe has two entrances: one inside the shopping mall and the other a glass door facing the street.

Through that huge floor-to-ceiling glass window, the street scene is clearly visible.

Lu Jingxiu and Lin Yutang looked up at the same time.

A row of black Mercedes-Benz cars were parked on the side of the road.

The car door opened, and a group of bodyguards dressed in black suits and sunglasses filed out. They had a clear objective and rushed straight into the coffee shop without the slightest hesitation.

The customers and staff in the coffee shop were stunned. Some instinctively stepped back, while others raised their phones.

The bodyguards in black quickly located Lu Jingxiu and Lin Yutang in the corner, surrounding them and forming an impenetrable human wall.

They stood with their backs to Lu Jingxiu and Lin Yutang, facing outwards, blocking all prying eyes and raised cell phone cameras.

Immediately afterwards, the rear door of the Maybach parked in the middle was pushed open.

A man stepped out of the car.

He was wearing an impeccably tailored dark gray handmade suit, with his shirt collar buttoned up perfectly.

He was tall and upright, with a distinctly angular face of mixed Chinese and German descent, his features appearing sculpted.

He had high brow bones, deep-set eyes, thin and hard lips, and skin with a paleness that resembled that of someone of noble lineage.

He strode confidently toward the coffee shop, his demeanor composed and his presence commanding.

He walked in, and the human wall automatically made way for him. His gaze remained fixed on only one person the entire time.

Lin Yutang.

He walked up to her and stopped. The two were very close, so close that Lin Yutang could smell his familiar scent.

She froze, her fingers instinctively clenching the hem of her skirt.

He looked down at her, a sinister smile slowly creeping onto his handsome face.

"Have you had enough fun?" His voice wasn't loud, but it carried a possessive quality. "Come back with me."

After saying that, he reached out and grabbed Lin Yutang's wrist, as if he were taking something that belonged to him.

Lin Yutang instinctively shrank back a little.

Just as his hand was about to touch Lin Yutang's wrist, a hand reached out from the side, its five fingers closing in and firmly gripping his wrist.

Trish's wrist was suspended in mid-air.

He turned his head, his grey-blue eyes landing on the person gripping his wrist.

His gaze lingered on Lu Jingxiu's face for a few seconds, then the smile faded, replaced by undisguised contempt.

"Oh?" He raised an eyebrow, his gaze condescending. "You're that poor student, Lu Jingxiu, right? You ran away? You've got some skills."

"Now," he stared at Lu Jingxiu, his voice turning cold, "let go of my hand, immediately."

"Trissy, right?" Lu Jingxiu released his wrist, stood up from the chair, and took half a step forward unhurriedly, blocking Lin Yutang's path with half of his body.

He was a little shorter than Beatrix, but he stood ramrod straight and was in no way inferior in terms of imposing presence.

He cleared his throat, then suddenly roared in a voice loud enough to be heard throughout the entire cafe:

"You're going to forcibly abduct women in broad daylight?"

Trish was startled by the sudden volume of his voice and squinted slightly.

He hadn't yet realized what that question meant—

Lu Jingxiu took a deep breath, his chest bulging noticeably, then, facing Trish's handsome yet cold face, he shouted with all his might:

"Do you even respect the law?!"

This roar, delivered from the depths of his dantian and brimming with energy, exploded in the quiet coffee shop.

Trish's eyes twitched involuntarily at the shout.

He felt a cool sensation on his face; it was the touch of saliva.
