From rejecting the beautiful female CEO to becoming extremely powerful

Lu Yunzhou simply couldn't stand it any longer.

The atmosphere in the lingerie store was unbearable; Su Qingwan's face and figure were still swirling in his mind. So he made an excuse and slipped away to the mall corridor to catch his breath.

"Lu Yunzhou?"

A woman's voice emerged from the crowd, her tone high-pitched, carrying a glaring surprise.

Lu Yunzhou frowned and looked up in the direction of the sound.

About seven or eight steps away, a woman stood there carrying two shopping bags. Her features were exquisite, but her eyes were full of condescension.

He was decked out in designer brands from head to toe, dressed impeccably, but his inherent affectation and smugness were impossible to hide.

Lin Yuxuan.

The woman who drugged him for three years.

Lin Yuxuan glanced at him from head to toe, her lips curling down in disbelief and disgust.

"What, you still have the nerve to come out shopping? I thought you should have died somewhere long ago."

Lu Yunzhou's face remained expressionless, his tone as indifferent as if he were asking for directions on the street: "Yes, I couldn't do as you wished, I'm sorry to disappoint you."

"Oh."

Lin Yuxuan snorted coldly, tilting her head to sized him up. "Even if you can still act up now, so what? A penniless veteran, what tricks can you possibly pull?"

"There really aren't any tricks up your sleeve."

Lu Yunzhou looked at her with a slight smile, uttering each word clearly, "But don't worry, I have no interest in talking about what you and Chu Tiankuo did in bed. After all, if word gets out, you won't be the only one who'll be embarrassed."

Lin Yuxuan's expression changed immediately.

Her lips trembled twice, she wanted to curse but couldn't get the words out, her face turning pale and red in turns, as if someone had pulled down her pants in the street.

When she first bumped into Lu Yunzhou on the road, she was filled with a wicked sense of pleasure, thinking of saying a few sarcastic things to him and seeing him get angry and jumpy, so as to satisfy her twisted sense of satisfaction.

But the man in front of her stood there, relaxed and unhurried, without even frowning, and instead pulled up her underwear.

She gripped the bag tightly in her hand in anger and was about to turn and leave.

"Oh, who do we have here? Isn't this Lu Yunzhou?"

A slow, leisurely voice drifted over from the other end of the corridor.

Lu Yunzhou turned his head to the side.

Chu Tiankuo walked out from around the corner, wearing a gray-blue casual suit. His steps were unhurried, and he had an unlit cigar in his mouth.

Two men dressed in black followed closely behind him.

"The sky is vast!"

Lin Yuxuan's eyes lit up, and she immediately ran over and took his arm.

Chu Tiankuo put his arm around her, his gaze falling on Lu Yunzhou. He looked him up and down, a wide smile spreading across his face. "I thought Uncle Song had crippled you with one blow last time, but you can still stand and walk?"

"Sorry, I'm tough."

Lu Yunzhou put his hands in his pockets, his posture relaxed.

Chu Tiankuo's smile faded slightly.

He released Lin Yuxuan, took two steps forward, grabbed Lu Yunzhou's collar, brought his face close, and spoke in a chilling voice.

"Lu Yunzhou, don't think I wouldn't dare kill you. I didn't hold it against you last time because of Xiao Nu. If you don't know what's good for you, I can make you disappear from this world anytime, believe it or not?"

Lu Yunzhou looked down at the hand gripping his collar.

The next moment, he raised his hand, grabbed Chu Tiankuo's wrist, and twisted his fingers outward.

Chu Tiankuo winced in pain, and his five fingers were forced to open.

Lu Yunzhou straightened his collar, his voice not loud, but each word slammed into Chu Tiankuo's face: "Chu Tiankuo, what makes you so arrogant in this life?"

"The family's money, connections, and businesses—which of these did you earn yourself?"

"Take away the shell of the Chu family, and you're not even as good as a street vendor."

He glanced sideways at Lin Yuxuan, who was huddled in the back: "As for this woman, she's just a secondhand item I didn't use. You're the only one who deserves to take her back as a treasure."

"You fucking want to die!"

Chu Tiankuo's eyes were bloodshot, and he swung his fist, aiming for Lu Yunzhou's face.

Lu Yunzhou tilted his body to the side, and the fist grazed past his ear without touching him.

At the same time, he thrust his right knee out, slamming it into Chu Tiankuo's lower abdomen.

A muffled thud.

Chu Tiankuo was curled up like a shrimp, his mouth wide open, his face flushed red, unable to breathe, and his knees buckled as he was about to kneel on the ground.

Lu Yunzhou reached out and grabbed his collar again, pulling him back to prevent him from falling. He leaned closer and said with a laugh, "Young Master Chu, stand firm. The ground is dirty. Don't get your nice clothes dirty."

"Let...let me go!"

Chu Tiankuo's face turned red as he struggled desperately, clutching his stomach with both hands.

Lin Yuxuan screamed and rushed forward to support Chu Tiankuo, then turned to glare at Lu Yunzhou and cursed, "Lu Yunzhou! You reckless bastard! You dare to touch Tiankuo, you just wait!"

Chu Tiankuo took a couple of breaths, shoved Lin Yuxuan aside, pulled out his phone from his pocket, dialed a number, and shouted, "Get me ten people from mall security! Right now! All of you, hurry up!"

Less than two minutes.

Eight or nine security guards ran over from both ends of the corridor.

"Young Master Chu, what's wrong?"

The leader looked very respectful.

Chu Tiankuo pointed at Lu Yunzhou, his face contorted, his voice hoarse: "Cripple him! Beat him! Beat him to death!"

Several security guards exchanged glances, pulled out their rubber batons, and surrounded Lu Yunzhou.

Lu Yunzhou stood still, not retreating, but instead, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

The first security guard to rush up swung his baton and smashed it down on his head.

Lu Yunzhou raised his hand and grabbed the stick, then swung it back, striking the security guard in the ribs, sending him flying sideways.

Two attackers lunged at him from the left at the same time, and Lu Yunzhou kicked them twice with his right leg, one to the knee and the other to the knee.

Two muffled thuds were followed by the crisp sound of bones dislocating.

The two fell to the ground, rolling around while clutching their legs, howling in agony.

The remaining few people's expressions changed, but with their numbers emboldened them, they roared and pounced together.

Lu Yunzhou tossed the rubber baton into the air and then attacked with both fists and feet.

The corridor was in complete chaos, with cries of agony rising and falling.

Ten seconds or so.

The corridor fell silent.

Seven or eight security guards lay sprawled on the ground, some with their faces covered and blood streaming from their mouths, some with their legs bent in the opposite direction and unable to get up, and some who had simply passed out.

Lu Yunzhou stood in the very center, his clothes perfectly smooth, and his breathing steady.

Chu Tiankuo took two steps back, his back pressed against the wall, his eyes full of disbelief.

But he still retorted defiantly, "Lu Yunzhou! So what if you're good at fighting? This society values ​​family background and connections! No matter how good you are at fighting, if you mess with the Chu family, you're still doomed!"

"So without what your father and grandfather left behind, you are nothing."

Lu Yunzhou walked towards him step by step, his aura pressing down on him. Chu Tiankuo felt as if his throat was blocked with cotton, and his lips trembled, unable to utter a complete sentence.

Just as he closed in within three steps.

A clear, cool female voice came from the end of the corridor, not loud, but it suppressed the noise of the entire corridor:

"Who gave you permission to do this here?"
