"Hey, Madam Lu, although we have a good relationship in private, this matter is indeed difficult to handle. We can only handle it in a businesslike manner. I can only follow the rules."

When Mrs. Lu heard this, she immediately became anxious, "Director Sun, you can't just stand by and watch someone die!"

The other party was silent for a moment, then said, "The only way out now is reconciliation. As long as he's willing to give in, this case won't be so difficult."

Mrs. Lu had a very complicated expression on her face. After hanging up the phone, she turned around, looked at her son, opened her mouth, but didn't know where to start.

Lu Ziyin half-closed his eyes, too lazy to say a single word to his mother. He stood up and said, "This world has its own rules. Not everyone can act recklessly. If you make a mistake, you must bear the consequences."

He turned to leave, and Mrs. Lu quickly called out, "Ziyin! Why did Mom do this? It's all for your own good!"

"Me?" Lu Ziyin scoffed, standing still without turning around. "You're doing this for your own pride, right? How could a dignified Madam Lu tolerate being outshined by her daughter-in-law, whom she had kicked out? To demonstrate your status as the principal wife, to show off your authority, you so brazenly hired someone to kidnap her. But don't forget, she's no longer the daughter-in-law of the Lu family, but Su Heng's wife."

When he said this, a cold light flashed in Lu Ziyin's eyes.

"Ziyin! Mom knows I shouldn't do this, and it's implicated you too! But we have to find a solution now!" Mrs. Lu was really panicked now. She originally thought that Director Sun would turn a blind eye to her affairs as before, but who knew that Su Heng would be so difficult to deal with!

Lu Ziyin slowly turned her head and asked, "What suggestions did Director Sun give?"

Mrs. Lu looked away awkwardly. "He said it's best to reconcile now."

This method was also within Lu Ziyin's expectations. He said slowly, "Including the last time, this is the second time. Do you think he will agree?"

Mrs. Lu choked. She knew in her heart that Su Heng was so rich that he didn't need the compensation at all! So she was helpless for a moment. Finally, she said angrily, "Forget it! Let them arrest me and put me in jail! There's no point in living anyway! I've done so much for my son, but in the end, I'm blamed! I might as well die!" As she spoke, she wiped away her tears.

Lu Ziyin glanced at her coldly, and the veins on his forehead were faintly visible. He turned around and walked towards the door. Mrs. Lu was anxious. She was really worried that her son would not care about her, so she hurriedly chased after him, "Ziyin, where are you going?"

A slightly cold voice floated over, "Go find the person you hurt and save you."

Mrs. Lu was stunned, with a very rich expression on her face.

After searching through some food reports online, Jiang Man finally selected a Hunan restaurant and immediately called to reserve a table.

As soon as the phone call ended, another call came in. Jiang Man picked up the phone, and after hearing the familiar voice, his expression changed slightly. He stood up, picked up the water cup, and walked into the tea room.

After closing the door, she turned around and said, "I just want the police to handle everything. I don't want to get involved anymore."

The other party paused slightly and said, "I apologize to you on behalf of my mother."

His tone was so sincere, the most genuine he'd been since they'd reunited. Jiang Man lowered her eyes. She wanted to accept his sincere apology, but she didn't want to put herself or her son in danger again.

She whispered, "I'm sorry, Ziyin."

As if he hadn't expected her to refuse, Lu Ziyin asked uncertainly, "Aren't you Jiang Man? The kind Jiang Man I remember? Even if she's wrong, she's old. Can't you just let her go?"

Jiang Man felt as if he had been stabbed hard!

This sentence was equivalent to denying everything they had in the past. They had loved each other so deeply, but now it had all turned into doubt. Jiang Man didn't speak for a long time, her lips trembling. She didn't know what to say, so she could only hold the phone tightly.

"Don't tell me you have to watch her go to jail before you'll give up? Jiang Man, when did you become so selfish?"

Jiang Man's hands also began to tremble. Her chest felt like it was blocked by something. She was holding her breath, unable to breathe in or out, and it was tormenting her. Even though she was full of grievances, she was speechless when faced with Lu Ziyin's questioning!

She knows why.

She owed him, and she couldn't justify herself, including anything.

The person on the other end of the phone, his tone obviously cold due to disappointment, said, "Is it money and status that have made you like this? As Su Heng's wife, you no longer bother to pretend to be kind. So, even if I called and begged you, you could still be so cruel. Haha." He chuckled, "I'm really stupid. It took me all these years to see through you."

Jiang Man's eyes were red. The grievances from several years ago were now piling up, making it almost impossible for her to breathe. She was about to suffocate!

"Since you don't intend to let her go, then well, let's see you in court." Just as he was about to hang up, he seemed to remember something and reminded: "Indeed, I must remind you to pay attention. This incident involves Su Heng and Chen Hao, and the media will undoubtedly report it widely. At that time, things about your son may attract attention. Adults may not care, but you should consider whether the child can cope with those rumors." After that, he hung up the phone.

Jiang Man still maintained the same posture as when he answered the phone, standing there stiffly, without any response for a long time.

After the meeting, Su Heng walked out of the conference room, and Lin Ze followed closely behind him, reporting on the upcoming schedule: "Mr. Su, there will be an interview on the topic of corporate development in the afternoon, and then there will be an internal commendation meeting for outstanding employees."

Su Heng suddenly stopped and fixed his eyes on the figure sitting on the lounge chair next to him.

Lin Ze followed his gaze and saw Jiang Man. He immediately said tactfully, "I'm going to be busy now. I'll let you know before the interview."

Su Heng did not respond, but just looked at the woman quietly for a long time before he slowly walked over and sat down beside her.

Jiang Man was in a low mood, the smile on her face was extremely forced, and she kept her eyes lowered, as if she was afraid that someone would see her red and swollen eyes.

"I think we should forget about Mrs. Lu's matter." She spoke softly without looking up.

Su Heng just closed his eyes slightly, his long legs crossed gracefully, his arms casually draped over the back of the chair behind her, his voice cold and expressionless: "Give me a reason?"

Jiang Man pursed his lips: "I just don't want the situation to get worse. Besides, I don't want to implicate you."

Su Heng raised one corner of his mouth and glanced at her: "Who threatened you?"

"No one." She shook her head in denial.

Su Heng changed his sitting position leisurely: "Jiang Man."
