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

As evening fell, the light in the ward softened.

Lu Jingxiu leaned against the headboard, the ointment on his face already dried. He swiped his phone screen and opened the small group chat with only six people.

The messages were scrolling by incredibly fast.

Jiao Lei: Brother Lu, Fu Xingzhou has been arrested by the procuratorate. The evidence is conclusive, and it won't be long before a public prosecution is initiated. It will definitely take at least two years.

Tang Cheng: Brother Lu is awesome.

Zhou Yu: He's got some nerve, daring to mess with my brother Lu's ex-girlfriend.

Zhou Yu: By the way, Brother Lu, we found out about Shang Yanchen's background. He is the deputy director of the Chenghua District Public Security Bureau, suspected of accepting bribes, harboring criminals, and committing job-related crimes. He has been transferred to the discipline inspection commission.

Guo Zhixu: His backer is just a deputy bureau chief, yet he dares to act so brazenly as a lawless madman?

Fu Chen: Yeah, at least someone like Brother Guo has to be qualified to be a lawless outlaw.

Guo Zhixu: Get lost.

Lu Jingxiu looked at the screen, a slight smile playing on his lips, and typed a reply.

Lu Jingxiu: Do we have any connections with the Fu and Shang families? Let's see if we can arrange for someone to take over. Now that the presidents of both families are in jail, there's no leader, which is the perfect opportunity.

Tang Cheng: Yes, in large companies like this, my dad and his colleagues maintain certain relationships with several vice presidents. I'll go ask them now and get back to you.

Lu Jingxiu replied with "OK", then exited and began clearing other unread messages.

There's too much news.

Li Qingqing asked him why he didn't come to school today, and he simply replied, "I had a little accident, I'll go after I recover."

Almost everyone in the circle of second-generation officials in Ba City who has his WeChat contacted him today. Some were concerned about his injuries, some were trying to find out the details, and some were asking directly if he needed help.

He replied to a few messages from people he was close to, and for the rest, he simply said two words: "It's nothing."

Just as he put down his phone, there was another gentle knock on the ward door.

The door was pushed open a crack, and a girl wearing a white short-sleeved T-shirt and light blue jeans slipped in.

She first peeked at Xu Na, who was still fast asleep on the bed next to her, to make sure she was sleeping soundly, before quietly closing the door and turning around.

It's Han Xuanxuan.

She wore light makeup, had fair skin, bright almond-shaped eyes, and her hair was tied in a high ponytail, making her look fresh and clean.

She walked to Lu Jingxiu's bedside and sat down naturally.

Lu Jingxiu's gaze first fell on her hands, then swept over her entire body.

Empty-handed.

That's how it came about.

Han Xuanxuan noticed his gaze and said in a low voice with a smile, "Young Master Lu, I guess you definitely don't lack fruits and flowers, and you probably don't have much of an appetite after the car accident, so I didn't bring you those tacky things."

She paused, and before Lu Jingxiu could tell her to "get lost," she quickly added, "Don't tell me to leave yet, I brought some important information."

Lu Jingxiu raised an eyebrow: "What intelligence?"

Han Xuanxuan took out her phone, tapped the screen quickly a few times, and then handed it to him.

It's a group chat interface.

The group name is very straightforward: "United Business Elites of the Market".

Lu Jingxiu glanced at the group member list and saw several familiar names.

They are all well-known rich second-generation heirs in Bashi, whose families either own factories, are involved in real estate, or are in finance.

He took the phone, swiped his finger up, and scrolled through the chat history.

The more he looked, the sullen his face became.

Han Xuanxuan explained in a low voice, speaking quickly: "Last night and this morning, two presidents of Ba Shi were arrested for suspected illegal and criminal activities, which caused a great sensation in the business world. This group is a private group for the rich second generation of Ba Shi."

"They think you're specifically targeting them because both CEOs were arrested by the police after they had dealings with you. So they think this is a case of a second-generation official using his power to suppress the business community, and the things he said in the group chat were already a bit unpleasant."

Lu Jingxiu's gaze lingered on a certain message.

The message was just one line: "The government's reach is too far. If they can arrest General Manager Shang today, they can arrest any one of our companies tomorrow. Who can sleep soundly?"

"But," Han Xuanxuan changed the subject, lowering her voice even further, "I looked at it for a long time, and I just felt that something was off about it."

"These CEOs of our Ba Shi Group usually want to kill each other, so how could they suddenly unite and be so united against a common enemy just to steal a woman? This isn't right."

"So, I spent a day subtly inquiring, inviting people to dinner, asking around, and guess what I found out?"

Han Xuanxuan paused deliberately at this point, blinking her almond-shaped eyes at Lu Jingxiu.

Lu Jingxiu handed the phone back to her, readily agreeing: "What did you find?"

Han Xuanxuan took the phone, leaned forward, and whispered, "The person behind this might be the An family."

Lu Jingxiu frowned: "The An family?"

"I heard that Director An from the provincial department got a slap in the face from you last night?" Han Xuanxuan blinked.

"He brought it on himself."

Han Xuanxuan sighed, her face full of regret: "Sigh, why did I get drunk last night? I missed a great show, what a pity."

But she quickly put away her regretful expression, became serious again, and her tone became much more earnest: "An Xiaozhao's father is the richest man in Ba Province. The An family's businesses are spread all over the country, and they are not only based in Ba Province."

"Young Master Lu, think about it. If his father personally takes the lead, wouldn't these shady businessmen in Ba City have a leader? Snakes can't function without a head. With a leader, they will naturally band together."

"However, what's rather strange is that the Chu family, the richest family in Ba City, did not participate."

Han Xuanxuan was puzzled. Wasn't the Chu family's daughter a simp for Fu Xingzhou? How come Fu Xingzhou was already in jail, but she hadn't made a move yet?

Lu Jingxiu leaned against the headboard without saying a word.

An Xiaozhao's father is the head of the An Group and the richest man in Ba Province.

If someone of this caliber were to actually make a move, their power would certainly not be underestimated.

He didn't care if those rich kids cursed him in the group chat, but if it was an opponent of Anjia's caliber organizing and mobilizing behind the scenes, then he couldn't ignore it.

Han Xuanxuan looked at him and added, "And I know you're not interested in the entertainment industry, but today, a big star posted on social media."

As she spoke, she quickly tapped a few times on her phone, then handed the screen back to Lu Jingxiu.

The screen displays a verified Weibo account with a gold "V" badge, a profile picture of a delicate profile, and a username of three characters: An Yuxuan.

The number of followers was dizzying, and Lu Jingxiu was too lazy to count how many digits there were.

The latest Weibo post was published at 5 PM today and has already accumulated tens of thousands of reposts and over 100,000 comments.

An Yuxuan V: I was originally scheduled to film in Hachi next week, but now that this has happened, I'm very worried about the safety situation there. I'm postponing my trip and waiting to see how things go. [Praying]
