Lu Shao is cunning; Miss Nan has fallen for his tricks again.

Chapter 104 The Price (Part 1)
"I'm warning you, you'd better stay away from Lu Zhiyan. He's mine. If you dare to get close to him again, I'll take care of you!"

Ruan Meng met Nan Xu's eyes fiercely.

In an attempt to scare away Nanxu.

Nan Xu seemed indifferent, glancing at Ruan Meng indifferently before looking away.

No matter what Ruan Meng said, Nan Xu didn't react in any other way.

After talking for a while, Nanxu still didn't say anything.

Ruan Meng glanced at Nan Xu with suspicion.

He thought to himself, "Why does it feel like the woman in front of me is deaf?"

That can't be right, can it? How could Lu Zhiyan possibly date a deaf person?
But why doesn't she speak?

Jiang Lan slowly climbed up the pile of wooden planks outside the warehouse.

Ming Lanlan's drone was too loud, and she couldn't get close to the warehouse.

Therefore, Jiang Lan can only investigate and find out the exact number of people.

Before long, Jiang Lan nimbly climbed to the top of the warehouse and saw the scene inside through the glass window.

She knew Nan Xu, and she also knew Ruan Meng.

The woman sitting on the ground, dressed in a top-tier luxury brand suit, must be Nanxu's mother, Lin Jingshu.

Besides them, there were two other men, who were probably the ones who kidnapped Nanxu. They had no weapons, only two daggers.

It seems they just wanted to scare Nanxu.

Jiang Lan had already made up her mind, and slowly climbed down the pile of wooden planks.

He hid behind a pile of planks and sent a message to Lu Zhiyan.

"There are only two men and Ruan Meng. They haven't made a move against Miss Nan or... Miss Nan's mother yet. I can handle this myself."

Lu Zhiyan felt relieved after reading the message from Jiang Lan.

"Then I'll leave it to you. Just get started. I'll handle the aftermath."

After receiving Lu Zhiyan's approval, Jiang Lan did not hesitate and boldly prepared to walk into the warehouse through the main entrance.

Two men? That's a piece of cake.
She didn't need any special weapons to deal with them; her skills alone were more than enough.

The warehouse door was easily opened, and Ruan Meng looked in the direction of the sound; it was Jiang Lan.

Nan Xu looked in the direction of the voice, but she didn't recognize the woman in front of her. She then looked away.

The moment Ruan Meng saw Jiang Lan, long-forgotten memories were suddenly awakened.

Just a few days after she posted online that she and Lu Zhiyan were staying at the same hotel and using the same towel, Jiang Lan came knocking on her door.

At first, Ruan Meng thought she was sent by that company to discuss cooperation, so she let her in.

Before they could exchange more than a few words, Jiang Lan immediately started hitting him.

Not only that, but they also beat her face, which she cherished most, until it was bruised and swollen.

She also deleted the photos of the hotel room she had taken on her phone, and all the videos and posts about Lu Zhiyan on social media.

She originally wanted to call the police, but Jiang Lan's words completely dispelled that idea.

"This time it was me, next time it might be the police or a lawyer."

After saying that, he squatted down and lifted up Ruan Meng's bruised and swollen face, his eyes full of provocation.

"Don't even think about going against President Lu. You're just a small-time internet celebrity. You don't even need President Lu to lift a finger; I could easily destroy you."

Jiang Lan wasn't trying to scare Ruan Meng; she was stating a fact.

With her abilities, she could easily expose all of Ruan Meng's dirty secrets.

Ruan Meng is an internet celebrity whose job is in the internet industry, and what she fears most is negative publicity.

Although being famous for being infamous is still fame, once some of her scandals are exposed, she won't be able to make a living in the internet industry anymore.

Jiang Lan's eyes were filled with frost, and Ruan Meng could tell that Jiang Lan was not joking.

From then on, she dared not openly try to take advantage of Lu Zhiyan anymore, and her fervent pursuit turned into a silent affair.

Only in this way can I avoid upsetting Lu Zhiyan and getting beaten up.

Looking at Jiang Lan not far away, Ruan Meng still subconsciously trembled.

But looking at the two strong men standing beside her, Ruan Meng felt a little more confident.

Jiang Lan can fight one person, but can she fight two strong men at the same time?
"What are you doing here?" Ruan Meng asked in an unfriendly tone, knowing full well what was going on.

"You still love to ask questions you already know the answer to. You kidnapped Boss Lu's people, so what do you think I'm here for?" Jiang Lan laughed angrily. What a brainless idiot!
Ruan Meng was speechless.

She had investigated Nan Xu before; she knew that Nan Xu had studied abroad and was also from a wealthy family.

That's all she knew; she didn't find anything else.

He only intended to kidnap her to give her a warning, but he didn't expect Lu Zhiyan to find her just half an hour later. It seems he cares a lot about this woman.

Ruan Meng's eyes were filled with malice as she looked at Nan Xu.

If you return Lu Zhiyan's woman and understand her, Lu Zhiyan will still be single, and perhaps she will belong to you in the future.

Nan Xu felt uncomfortable under Ruan Meng's intense gaze, so she glanced at her and looked away.

She didn't want to lower herself to the level of a lunatic.

I have no desire to deal with mentally ill people.

Lin Jingshu was blindfolded and couldn't see anything, but she could hear.

She vaguely heard "President Lu," was it Lu Zhiyan?
Didn't she see the location she sent to Lin Jingheng?

How could this be? This is a location tracker developed by a top research institute.

Lin Jingshu couldn't care less about anything else right now; all she needed was for someone to rescue her and her daughter.

Jiang Lan took in Ruan Meng's gaze, a hint of disdain flashing in her eyes.

"Stare! Stare again and I'll gouge your eyes out!"

Upon hearing this, Nan Xu, Lin Jingshu, and Ruan Meng were all stunned.

Looking at the slender and tall Jiang Lan, Nan Xu couldn't believe that these words could come out of her mouth.

The contrast is too great!

Lin Jingshu swallowed silently; this was too ruthless.

Ruan Meng was so frightened that her face turned pale. She never wanted to be threatened by Jiang Lan again; it was really too scary!

"You two go and take care of her, and your commission will be doubled afterwards!"

Get rid of her? Does that mean murder?
That won't do, murder is illegal.

The two remained silent.

Ruan Meng gritted her teeth.

If you are greedy, the snake swallows the elephant!
"I'll give you ten times the amount!"

The two men exchanged a glance, nodded, stepped forward, and took out their daggers from behind their backs.

There was no fear in Jiang Lan's eyes, but rather a bloodthirsty passion.

Since Lu Zhiyan said he would handle the aftermath, she shouldn't blame her for being ruthless.

Three minutes later, the two men collapsed to the ground, blood streaming from their noses and heads, clutching their lower abdomens and looking pained.

Seeing the two people lying on the ground, Ruan Meng's heart skipped a beat.

No, nobody told her Jiang Lan was this strong.

Both of them bled, but Jiang Lan remained calm and composed, seemingly unfazed.

As Jiang Lan drew closer, Ruan Meng panicked.

She had only one thought in mind: to run!

Jiang Lan glanced at Ruan Meng, then turned to untie Nan Xu.

Seeing that Jiang Lan ignored her, she assumed it was just a warning like last time, and ran away without paying any attention to the two people lying on the ground.

Upon closer inspection, it became clear that Nanxu's right cheek was swollen high.

Jiang Lan didn't say anything, but helped Nan Xu untie herself. Anyway, Lu Zhiyan wouldn't let Ruan Meng go no matter what.

She didn't need to chase after them; the area outside was surrounded like an impregnable fortress.

After untying Nanxu, Jiang Lan gently helped her up.

Her voice was gentle, soothing to the soul.

"Miss Nan, please slow down. Do you have any other injuries? Do you need me to carry you?"

Nan Xu waved her hand and said softly, "Thank you, but no need. Please go and untie my mother first."

Although there were no other injuries, Nanxu's legs had gone numb from maintaining the same posture for so long and it would take a while for them to recover.

After confirming that Nanxu was alright, Jiang Lan carefully withdrew her arm from his.

He then went to help Lin Jingshu untie her.

A short while later, Lu Zhiyan and Lin Jingheng walked in with their entourage.

Lin Jingheng brought a doctor with him when he arrived, fearing that Lin Jingshu might be injured and not receive timely treatment.

Regardless of whether he feels guilty or not, if anything were to happen to him, Old Master Lin and Old Madam Lin would absolutely not let him off the hook.

Lu Zhiyan saw Nan Xu's swollen cheeks from a distance, his eyes filled with heartache and burning anger.

He vowed he would never let Ruan Meng go; he would make her pay the price!
