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

On the other side, outside the manor.

Lu Jingxiu was speeding along in his Dongfeng Mengshi when he was stopped by traffic police on motorcycles two intersections away from the Huang family manor.

"Police are on duty ahead, passage is prohibited! Please detour!" The young motorcycle traffic policeman saluted.

Lu Jingxiu rolled down the car window: "Officer, my friend is inside, and I'm very worried about her safety. Could you let me in to take a look? Just for a glimpse!"

"No! No one is allowed to enter the restricted area! Please cooperate!" The traffic police officer's attitude was firm.

Helpless, Lu Jingxiu could only pull over to the side of the road, then take out his phone and dial Hong Zhan's number: "Director Hong, it's me, Lu Jingxiu."

When Director Hong, who was in the city bureau's command center, heard these words, he was startled.

Is there something I've overlooked?

"I'm currently outside the Huang Family Manor, but the traffic police have stopped me from getting in. Chu Jin is inside, and I'm very worried. Could you please make an exception and let me in to check on the situation? I promise I won't interfere with your investigation," Lu Jingxiu said sincerely.

Upon hearing that this was the reason for his call, Hong Zhan breathed a sigh of relief and readily agreed, "Okay, you wait here, I'll let the East Suburbs Branch know."

Soon, Hong Zhan's call went directly to Xu Jie, who was directing operations on-site.

When Xu Jie received the call from Director Hong and heard the name Lu Jingxiu, his brows furrowed involuntarily.

He was quite familiar with this young master Lu.

Thinking back to more than two hundred chapters ago, some of my men had illegally detained this man.

Fortunately, in the following months, other police units also encountered problems one after another, and with the continuous stream of major cases, the city bureau's attention was diverted considerably.

Moreover, their East Suburbs Branch has had good luck these past two months, producing a promising young man named Lin Yutang who seems to have been blessed with extraordinary talent. He has arrested more than a dozen fugitives and solved more than a dozen cases, many of which are old cases.

Without comparison, there is no harm. The results of the East Suburbs Branch over the past two months are more impressive than those of the other branches combined.

This made Xu Jie stand a little more confident when facing other units.

That being said, it's best not to offend Secretary Lu's only son; keeping a respectful distance is the right thing to do.

If he really angers the other party, Secretary Lu might just say "merits are merits and demerits are demerits" in a couple of days, and he'll have to give up his position.

Moreover, if he refused at this moment, he would not only offend Secretary Lu, but also Director Hong.

"Okay, Chief Hong, I understand. I'll arrange for someone to bring him in right away." Xu Jie hung up the phone, immediately called over a police officer, and gave him a few instructions.

Before long, Lu Jingxiu, guided by a police car, passed through layers of police tape and arrived inside the Huang Family Manor.

By this time, the power to the manor had been restored, the streetlights and ground lights had come back on, and the cell phone signal was at full strength.

Lu Jingxiu immediately took out his phone, found Chu Jin's number, and dialed it.

"Hey? Chu Jin? How are you? Are you alright? I'm outside the manor, where are you?" Lu Jingxiu asked as soon as the call connected.

"I'm fine... I'm giving a statement in a police car. Where are you? I'm coming to find you." Chu Jin's voice sounded a little tired, but still relatively calm.

Lu Jingxiu announced his location.

Soon, he saw the back door of a police car be pushed open, and a girl in a white dress jumped out of the car.

She stood by the car, first raising her hand to tidy her somewhat disheveled long hair, then looking around before her gaze settled on his conspicuous Dongfeng Mengshi, and she quickly walked over.

Chu Jin opened the passenger door and slowly got in.

She first breathed a sigh of relief before reaching for the seatbelt.

Lu Jingxiu then took a closer look at her using the light from the car's interior ceiling light.

Chu Jin's long hair was a little messy at the moment, with a few strands sticking to her forehead and cheeks with sweat.

Her delicate makeup had long since smudged, and fine beads of sweat glistened on her nose and forehead, reflecting slightly under the light.

She was barefoot, her flesh-colored stockings were tattered and covered in mud and grass clippings, and the soles of her feet were black and dirty, as if she had stepped in countless filthy things.

At the knee, the stockings had a large hole, revealing the skin underneath, which was red and swollen, with obvious bruises and abrasions.

Several bruises could be seen on his calves and arms, and some places even had a few drops of blood seeping out.

She looked disheveled, but this messiness and dishevelment added a touch of battle-worn beauty.

Chu Jin noticed his gaze. She lowered her head, looked at her dirty feet and tattered stockings, then looked up and laughed, "What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen a beautiful woman running for her life before?"

She leaned back in her chair, still somewhat shaken, and kept talking incessantly:

"Oh my god, Lu Jingxiu, let me tell you, tonight was terrifying! First, I fought alongside a bunch of monks, then I teamed up with a group of domineering CEOs' wives, and finally, I had a face-to-face encounter with a hundred SWAT officers..."

"Luckily, the police arrived quickly. In the end, I was chased all over the manor by more than a dozen kidnappers. I was running barefoot on the grass and almost thought I was going to die here."

"Waaaaah, my feet hurt so much, and my knees hurt so much too. I feel like they're going to fall apart tomorrow..."

"But speaking of which, the police were incredibly efficient this time! From the power outage to the police cars surrounding the manor, it felt like only a few minutes. Their speed in responding was simply amazing! If they hadn't arrived in time, I might not have been able to escape."

Lu Jingxiu started the car and said, "That's because I informed Director Hong in advance."

"Huh?" Chu Jin was taken aback, turned to look at him, her eyes widening slightly in surprise. "You told Director Hong beforehand? What did you say?"

"I told him that the Buddhist exchange meeting at the Huang Family Manor tonight might not be peaceful, and asked him to be careful," Lu Jingxiu explained calmly. "That's why the police were prepared and were able to react so quickly."

Chu Jin blinked, processing the information. Only then did she realize why the police had arrived so quickly.

If Lu Jingxiu hadn't informed the police beforehand, she probably would be dead tonight.

When it really matters, fellow villagers are the most reliable.

Lu Jingxiu thought for a moment and then explained in detail why Mo Yan had come to see him and what Mo Yan's plan was.

Chu Jin listened quietly while rubbing her legs.

As she listened, she felt like she was about to burst into tears.

Was she dragged down by this fellow villager again?!

Mo Yan, that lunatic, is clearly after Lu Jingxiu. How did Chu Jin, an innocent rich woman, become a bargaining chip for kidnapping and threats for no reason?

The adrenaline that surged during the escape had long since subsided, replaced by overwhelming fatigue and pervasive pain.

My knees are burning, my feet hurt, and my arms hurt too.

She leaned back in her chair, feeling too weak to even speak, and just wanted to find a place to collapse.

Although she was safe in the police car, she wasn't completely at ease.

Her mind was still racing, worrying about what other unexpected things might happen.

For example, what if there are corrupt police officers in the police car? What if a dump truck suddenly runs out of nowhere and rams into the police car?

We must never let our guard down until the very last moment.

Now, sitting in Lu Jingxiu's car, watching the city night view rushing past the window, she finally let her guard down.

She slowly closed her eyes, her voice soft and weary: "Whatever... whatever, I don't care about anything right now."

"Please take me home quickly... I'm so tired, my whole body aches, I want to sleep..."

Lu Jingxiu didn't say anything more, but simply reached out and turned on the car stereo, playing a relatively gentle piano piece. He then drove steadily towards Chu Jin's house.
