From rejecting the beautiful female CEO to becoming extremely powerful

The mechanism inside the wall hummed softly, and subtle vibrations crept up the ground to the soles of the feet, causing the first row of acupuncture point lights to illuminate one by one.

The three red dots—Jianjing, Quchi, and Yanglingquan—paused for only half a second before the rubber bullets shot out from the round holes, the sharp sound of wind cutting past the ears.

Lu Yunzhou was also tethered by two steel cables, limiting his range of movement to two meters in front of the training frame.

The steel cable tightened suddenly with his movement, and the metal ring squeezed his wrist bone hard.

He lowered his center of gravity, twisted his body to avoid the first two, and struck the third with his right palm against the sound of the wind.

With a snap, the force was too strong.

The rubber bullet missed the acupoint, grazed the side of the dummy's shoulder, hit the rear panel, and bounced to the ground.

The control panel immediately lit up with a red light, followed by a piercing beep that echoed throughout the training room.

Su Qingwan tapped the control panel with her rattan cane: "From now on, you must abide by three rules. You must not hide dangerous information from me, you must not attempt to assassinate Xiao Sihai alone, and you must not force your way into the enemy's territory before you have a clear understanding of it."

Lu Yunzhou dodged a rubber bullet: "I'll say what I need to say, and I'll protect my own life. Don't even think about getting me to formally acknowledge these three points."

Su Qingwan showed no surprise.

She increased the difficulty of the training by one level.

The twelve acupoints lit up alternately, and the rubber bullets moved much faster.

Lu Yunzhou was holding back his anger.

This woman, under the guise of training, clearly wanted to force him to submit.

A buzzing sound came from the console.

Lu Yunzhou's phone lit up, displaying Mu Qingying's name on the screen.

She had been waiting for news since last night, and this call had probably been made several times already.

Su Qingwan picked up her phone: "If you keep being stubborn, I'll answer it for you. And tell her that I tied you up in the basement last night, and you're still here."

Lu Yunzhou's back tensed up.

If Su Qingwan actually answers the phone, Mu Qingying will definitely ask her questions.

She might also casually reveal what happened in the study last night.

He pushed off with his feet, using the force of the steel cable retracting to turn around.

His right palm swept across Su Qingwan's hand, and the phone flew out of her hand and landed in the training water tank next to her.

Water splashed, and a few drops landed on Su Qingwan's snow-white neck.

The screen lit up twice underwater, and the call was disconnected.

Lu Yunzhou gritted his teeth: "I'll explain my own affairs. Don't cause me any more trouble."

Su Qingwan didn't try to retrieve her phone.

She increased the gravity by one level and activated all the remaining moving targets.

Rubber bullets came from four directions. Lu Yunzhou had just dodged to the left when he was hit in the back.

That was a solid hit.

Lu Yunzhou lunged forward, grabbed the steel cable with his wrist, and dragged him back to the training rack.

Su Qingwan picked up the record board and immediately noted down a mistake.

Training has resumed.

The acupoint lamps are on for shorter and shorter periods of time.

Lu Yunzhou had to dodge the attacks while also hitting the target with the right amount of force.

If the force is too light, the device will not count.

Too much force, red light warning.

In the first half hour, he destroyed three target surfaces in a row.

Once the internal energy enters the arm, it will rush out completely and cannot be stopped.

Su Qingwan did not give him a rest.

Each time a mistake is made, the tension on the steel cable increases.

Lu Yunzhou fell more than ten times, his shoulders and back covered in rubber bullets, his shirt stuck to his body, and his breathing became heavy.

At 3 a.m., the effects of the Shenmai San began to wear off.

The true qi in the dantian began to circulate again.

With his restored strength, breaking through the remaining locks wouldn't be difficult.

Lu Yunzhou suppressed the impulse.

He broke his inner energy into several thin streams, releasing only a small portion each time.

When the airflow passes through the shoulder and arm, it first stops at the Quchi acupoint and then enters the wrist.

The first time was more than usual.

I still couldn't control myself the second time.

On the fifth attempt, the true energy just managed to support the spring inside the lock.

The card was pushed aside, and the buckle on his left wrist made a soft sound.

Su Qingwan put down the recorder and continued to stare at the timer.

As dawn broke, Lu Yunzhou was already able to focus his inner energy on any acupoint.

Twelve red dots lit up on the wall, and he unleashed twelve palm strikes, each time hitting only the center of the target.

The training equipment did not trigger any alarms throughout the entire process.

The last latch popped open, and the steel cable retracted into the wall.

Lu Yunzhou stretched his shoulders, circulating his internal energy along the seventh acupoint.

His cultivation level remained unchanged, but his aura became much more solid.

The force that was originally rushing into the arm can now be withdrawn at any time.

With the same palm strike, he could even dissipate most of his true energy before it even hit the target.

Those few hours were worth it.

Su Qingwan walked to the training rack to check the locks.

The two were close together; her long hair, tied up, hung down behind her shoulders, and her collar was still damp with water.

Lu Yunzhou was still angry, but he recognized the usefulness of this training method.

There is a drawer hidden beneath the console.

Su Qingwan took out a round seal from inside and pressed it twice onto the red inkpad.

Just as Lu Yunzhou was about to back away, her wrist was already gripped.

Su Qingwan grabbed his wrist: "I tied you up all night last night, so we need to leave some proof this morning, so you won't deny it once you're dressed. For the next three days, you're under my control."

The seal fell with a soft click.

Lu Yunzhou raised his wrist: "You want to buy me for three days for five million? You're doing a really shady business."

A red stamp was placed on the inside of my wrist, with four small characters engraved on it.

The Milky Way bestows its blessings.

This is Xinghe Group's temporary operational authority.

During Operation Beiling, vehicles, equipment, and peripheral personnel could be mobilized using this mark.

The authorization period is only seventy-two hours.

Lu Yunzhou walked to the sink and scrubbed himself three times with soap.

My skin was rubbed red, but the marks were still clear and the color hadn't faded.

Special ink pads require a special cleaning agent.

Su Qingwan put the bottle in a drawer and would give it to him in three days.

Lu Yunzhou had no choice but to put on the watch and press the red stamp under the watch strap.

Pull the cuffs down a bit more, and finally it's completely covered.

Su Qingwan returned to the console and entered the final financial audit password.

Last night, the deposit of five million yuan was cleared by the bank and officially entered Yuanchuan Construction's available account.

Equipment rental fees, worker insurance, and design fees can all be paid on schedule.

The funding problem that had been weighing on Yuanchuan's shoulders has been resolved.

Su Qingwan had already taken the phone out of the sink and put it into the equipment's drying chamber.

The phone's waterproof function was still working, but after restarting, twelve missed calls popped up on the screen.

All of these calls were from Mu Qingying.

Lu Yunzhou immediately called back.

As soon as the call connected, Mu Qingying asked him where he had been last night and why she couldn't reach him by phone.

She spoke faster than usual, clearly having waited all night.

Lu Yunzhou pressed the receiver: "There was a construction problem at the old port last night, and I've been busy until now. My phone even fell into the water. Pack your things first, and I'll come pick you up right away."

Mu Qingying had no suspicions, only told him to eat something on the way, and sent him the hotel's location.

Lu Yunzhou put away his phone and strode towards the exit.

Su Qingwan leaned against the door: "Keep your watch on. If Qingying sees a red mark, tell her that I took you in last night."

Lu Yunzhou stopped in his tracks.

This woman is really outspoken.

He pulled down his sleeves and walked out of the basement, but a new problem was on his mind.

If Mu Qingying asks him to take off his watch later, how should he explain this indelible red mark?
