From rejecting the beautiful female CEO to becoming extremely powerful

A series of hurried footsteps sounded outside the banquet hall.

The two doors were forced open from the outside, and the door panels slammed against the wall.

More than a dozen police officers rushed in with riot shields, guns at their waists, and batons already drawn.

"Everyone stand still, hands in sight!"

"Anyone who dares to move is immediately taken into custody!"

The students at the table hurriedly got up, causing their chairs to tip over.

The two hotel guards also released Zhou Kai and retreated to He Qiming's side.

A square-faced man walked through the crowd, his uniform collar half-open and his belt cinching his stomach.

It was Qian Dabao, the deputy director of the municipal bureau.

"Someone called the police, saying that a group fight had broken out at the Tianhao Hotel, and some people were being illegally detained."

Qian Dabao glanced at the overturned wine glass and Zheng Kai kneeling on the ground, then pointed towards the door.

"Seal off the scene. Take everyone involved in the attack back with them."

Zhou Kai stood up, holding onto the edge of the table, and wiped the wine off his chin.

"Director Qian, you've come at the perfect time!"

He raised his hand and pointed at Lu Yunzhou.

"It's this guy surnamed Lu! He ordered the hotel security guards to beat people and is holding us captive. You need to handcuff him right now; my dad will take responsibility if anything happens!"

Bai Manning also seized the opportunity and quickly walked to the police officer's side.

"Officer, we can all testify. Lu Yunzhou led a group to attack Zhou Kai and forced him to drink. Zheng Kai and Zhou Hang were also beaten and have injuries on their bodies."

"Yes, I can get a medical examination!"

Zheng Kai clutched his wrist and used the carpet to push himself up.

"The hotel is in cahoots with him; they must have tampered with the security footage. Arrest him first, then interrogate him at the station!"

Qian Dabao's face was grim, and his right hand was already raised.

"Bring Lu..."

Next to the head of the table, Lu Yunzhou took out the Supreme Black Card from his coat and casually placed it on the table.

The cloud-shaped pattern on the card caught Qian Dabao's eye.

His raised hand froze in mid-air, and the fat on his face twitched twice.

His gaze followed the black card to Lu Yunzhou's face, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Last time, Zhou Cheng, the legal counsel of Xinghe Group, went to the police station and made himself very clear.

This card is connected to the highest level of access at the Cloud Peak Club.

If a cardholder's safety is compromised, the relevant personnel must provide an explanation.

Anyone who dares to make advances against us privately will be investigated by the Cloud Peak Club's legal team.

Moreover, Qian Dabao had already suffered losses at Lu Yunzhou's hands.

Lu Yunzhou leaned back in his chair and looked up at him.

"Deputy Director Qian, where are you planning to take me for interrogation this time?"

"Mr. Lu... Mr. Lu."

Qian Dabao swallowed hard and immediately withdrew his hand.

"There's a misunderstanding here. Since the police are on the scene, they should verify the evidence first."

Zhou Kai was stunned for a moment, his smugness still lingering on his face.

"Director Qian, why are you wasting your breath talking to him? I'm telling you to arrest him!"

Qian Dabao turned around and shouted, "Shut up!"

"What did you say?"

Zhou Kai took a step forward.

"My dad is Zhou Mingyuan! The executive deputy district head of Nanhe District! You, a deputy director of the municipal bureau, dare to yell at me?"

Qian Dabao did not respond, but turned to instruct his subordinates.

"Check the hotel's surveillance footage and verify the on-site recordings. Find out who called the police and retrieve their call logs. Interrogate all witnesses separately; anyone who dares to collude will be dealt with according to the law."

Zhou Kai's assistant huddled at the back of the crowd, still holding his phone.

After checking the number, one officer asked directly, "Did you make the emergency call?"

The assistant glanced at Zhou Kai and replied in a low voice, "Young Master Zhou asked me to report it. He told me to say that Lu Yunzhou injured someone with a weapon and also vandalized the hotel."

He Qiming took out the tablet and handed it to Qian Dabao.

"Deputy Director Qian, the banquet hall's recording and surveillance footage are still available. Mr. Lu was not armed, and the hotel facilities were not damaged."

He clicked on one of the video clips.

On the screen, Bai Manning ordered the security guards to lock the door, forcing Lu Yunzhou and the other two to bear more than 700,000 yuan in expenses.

The handwritten agreement that included additional compensation items was also clearly photographed.

In another video, Zheng Kai and Zhou Hang first attacked the guards, who only managed to restrain them.

He Qiming then pulled up footage of Zhou Kai threatening to seize Tianhao's assets.

"This information has been uploaded to the hotel headquarters, and the original files cannot be deleted."

After reading it, Qian Dabao's face darkened completely.

"Maliciously calling the police, fabricating claims of armed assault, blocking doors to prevent others from leaving, forcing people to pay false fees, and openly threatening the hotel's operations."

He stared at Zhou Kai.

"Young Master Zhou, is this how your father taught you to handle things?"

Zhou Kai raised his hand and pushed Qian Dabao.

"Don't try to pin this on me! I'm calling my dad right now, you'll be out of uniform for a while!"

Qian Dabao grabbed his arm and lifted his leg to press down on his knee.

Zhou Kai lost his footing and immediately knelt on the ground.

"Qian Dabao, you dare touch me!"

"I am handling the case in accordance with the law."

Qian Dabao twisted his arm behind his back.

"Zhou Kai is suspected of maliciously filing police reports, threatening business operators, and forcing others to bear false expenses. He will be taken back for investigation."

Two police officers immediately stepped forward and took Zhou Kai into custody.

Qian Dabao pointed to Bai Manning and the others.

"Bai Manning, Zheng Kai, Zhou Hang, Sun Ting, Tang Li, and the assistant who called the police, are all being taken away. Who participated in blocking the door, and who participated in forging the agreement, will be questioned one by one at the station."

Bai Manning gripped the corner of the table, her voice changing tone.

"Director Qian, I'm Zhou Kai's girlfriend! Tonight is a class reunion, what kind of crime is this?"

Whether it's a crime or not is not for you to decide.

Qian Dabao waved his hand.

The police officers handcuffed the men and led them out the door.

Zhou Kai was still cursing when Qian Dabao had his phone confiscated.

As the group reached the door, Qian Dabao stopped and turned around to stand in front of Lu Yunzhou.

"Mr. Lu, I'm sorry to have troubled you tonight. After the relevant personnel are taken back, I will arrange for an investigation, and the materials will be processed according to procedure."

Lu Yunzhou picked up the black card on the table and put it into his pocket.

"roll."

Qian Dabao nodded twice.

"Okay, let's go right away."

The officers quickly left the banquet hall, and the double doors reopened.

The footsteps in the corridor faded into the distance, but no one sat down at the table.

The classmates who had been busy flattering Zhou Kai just moments before lowered their heads and put their wine glasses back on the table.

Someone tried to strike up a conversation with Lu Yunzhou, but their lips moved several times without daring to utter a sound.

Pang Wei broke the silence.

"Boatman, why does that guy surnamed Qian act like he's seeing a superior when he sees you?"

"We've dealt with each other a few times before."

Lu Yunzhou pulled out a chair and looked at He Qiming.

"Mr. He, please have the kitchen prepare a new meal and change the wine. The payment will be the same as usual."

"Preparations are already underway."

He Qiming agreed and left with his guards.

Lu Yunzhou looked around at the two round tables.

"Tonight's gathering has turned into such a mess that no one has enjoyed their meal. Those who want to stay can sit down and have another drink. Those who want to leave are free to do so; no one is stopping them."

Cheng Ye patted the support on his leg and sat back down.

"I've been starving all day, I have to eat this meal to make up for it."

Pang Wei placed the wine glass between the three of them.

"The first toast is to the dorm, the rest are for the old days."

The other students sat down one after another, and their previously tense shoulders relaxed.

Lu Yunzhou picked up the wine bottle and filled Cheng Ye and Pang Wei's glasses.

"It's rare to get everyone together. Tonight, let's not talk about our identities or business, let's just talk about our university years."

He finished speaking and raised his glass.

"Don't save what you want to say for next time."
