Forced marriage by a substitute bride? The spoiled son of a prominent Beijing socialite! His whole f

"Why is it you? You said you'd arrange for someone to work with me, but you ended up arranging it yourself?"

He Yan was stunned for a moment, and then she was speechless when she realized what was happening.

She closed the door, walked over and stood in front of him, and first took his pulse.

"Is your injury healed? How dare you take risks again?"

She confirmed that Lu Yanzhe was alright, but her expression didn't relax at all.

She didn't even tell Bo Siheng, because she didn't want him to go into battle injured.

As it turned out, they managed to defend against one thing but failed to defend against another.

“I have been treated by a miracle doctor, and my injuries have almost healed. Moreover, I did not come alone. I brought people with me to guard outside, so I don’t have to worry about anything.”

Lu Yanzhe looked up at He Yan, his smile both innocent and cunning.

He said he had arranged for someone to handle things, so he was already planning to come himself.

"Didn't I tell you? This isn't about helping you; it's just my job."

He just wanted to prove that he was more useful than Bo Siheng.

Bo Siheng will only drag He Yan down.

He Yan frowned and sighed speechlessly.

"I'll be in front then. Whether or not we find Guan Yong, you stand at the back."

She knew that since Lu Yanzhe had come, he certainly wouldn't leave easily.

The only thing we can do is to make him behave himself.

"Of course, I'll do as you say."

Lu Yanzhe's smile widened, leaving He Yan speechless.

Having achieved his goal, he composed himself, stood up, and walked to the window.

"Do you see that three-story building over there? That's where my men found Guan Yong. If he's using this place as a hideout, he'll definitely come back. We just need to wait."

He Yan followed Lu Yanzhe's gaze and looked over. This was a street in an urban village.

There aren't that many storefronts, nor that many lights.

Everything was different from the bustling scene before.

"Checking Guan Yong is simple, but the organization behind him is very troublesome because we know too little about them. We don't know how many people they have, what harmful drugs they have made, or who they have sold them to."

He Yan frowned, carefully identifying the pedestrians on the street.

They can only wait and see, but that rabbit is so cunning.

"This is not an easy task, so you don't need to shoulder it all by yourself."

Lu Yanzhe knew that He Yan was kind and had a heart to save the world.

But he also knew that it was easier said than done.

The only thing he can do now is to take advantage of his shared goal with her and seize this opportunity.

"Xiaoyan, in order to invite you to participate in my family's genetic research, I can use the full power of the Lu family, as long as you can use it, as long as I can help you."

This is Lu Yanzhe's sincerity; he's willing to stake the entire Lu family on it.

Because he knew that He Yan wouldn't let him lose.

"What you're saying is too serious."

He Yan frowned, feeling that Lu Yanzhe was exaggerating a bit.

Before she could say anything more, a scream came from somewhere.

"what!!"

The two immediately became alert.

But there was no sound from the street outside, meaning the screams didn't come from outside.

Then there's only one possibility: something happened downstairs.

"It seems like something's gotten out of hand down there."

He Yan opened the door a crack and heard a commotion coming from downstairs.

One of the girls' voices sounded familiar to her.

"Wait here for me, I'll go down and see what's going on."

She left without waiting for Lu Yanzhe's reply.

downstairs.

He Yiyi and Bo Jingning were surrounded by the group of students from before, and the two sides were in a standoff.

There were many pairs of malicious eyes watching from all around.

"Damn it, you dare hit me?"

Zhou Tianci covered his face, glaring with a fierce expression.

The equally ignorant boys around him kept egging him on.

"Young Master Zhou, teach them a lesson!"

"Yes, you're giving me too much face. You won't even have a drink. If you're not willing, why did you come to a place like this? Don't you know where you are? Do you think you're some rich young ladies?"

All sorts of foul language were directed at He Yiyi and Bo Jingning.

The two women were both terrified and furious.

"You're still students, yet you're gathering here drinking and even harassing girls!"

Although Bo Jingning was scared, she had a fiery temper.

She couldn't tolerate something like this.

"Have you all wasted your time reading books?"

She had never suffered any grievances since childhood. Everyone she met knew that she was the only eldest daughter of the Bo family. Even those rich second-generation heirs and heiresses would fawn over her and dare not embarrass her.

I never expected to encounter a bunch of scoundrels here.

He Yiyi looked sullen, never expecting these people to be so shameless.

“You laid a hand on us, so we slapped you back. That evens things out.”

She and Bo Jingning originally came in with He Yan.

Instead of seeing He Yan, they were targeted by this group and forced to drink together.

The leader even physically pulled and shoved them.

Bo Jingning couldn't stand it and slapped him across the face.

"We live in a society governed by law. If your behavior escalates, it will only harm yourselves!"

He Yiyi was furious.

They wouldn't have encountered this if they hadn't been tracking He Yan.

"Even? You wish! How can we even things out after I got slapped?"

Zhou Tianci glared fiercely at the two of them, clearly not wanting to let the matter rest.

He just downed a few bottles of liquor, so he's fearless now.

"You'll have to drink this tonight whether you like it or not, or don't blame me for being impolite!"

He took out two glasses of beer and placed them in front of the two of them.

Bo Jingning simply reached out and slapped it away.

The glass shattered on the ground, and beer was spilled all over the floor.

"Drink your head!"

She was so angry that she started swearing.

Zhou Tianci was stunned. He didn't expect the other party to be so disrespectful. He turned his head and saw the looks in the eyes of the other classmates, as if they were laughing at him for not being able to handle a woman.

Those silent encouragements instantly fueled his malice.

"I'm giving you face, right?"

Zhou Tianci raised his hand to strike.

Bo Jingning was also frightened and instinctively closed her eyes to hide.

He Yiyi took a step back in fear, afraid that the slap would land on her.

"what!"

Two screams.

The sound was from Bo Jingning, who was startled.

There was another sound, which came from Zhou Tianci, who was about to make a move.

Then came the sound of another wine glass shattering, its clatter echoing sharply as it hit the floor.

Everyone was shocked because they all saw Zhou Tianci suddenly tremble and drop the beer glass, and then he was clutching his shoulder and crying out in pain.

"Damn it, who ambushed me?"

Zhou Tianci's face turned deathly pale with pain, and he was still swearing.

"You have no manners. I'd rather have given birth to a piece of barbecued pork than to you."

He Yan frowned, her face growing colder, and with a flick of her wrist, she flicked out another small pebble she had picked up from the flowerpot.

Zhou Tianci cried out in pain again and hurriedly turned around to find the source of the sound.

Bo Jingning then saw He Yan on the stairs.

She looked delighted and immediately lost her fear.

"Sister-in-law... He Yan, you're here!"

The lights were dim, and He Yiyi only saw He Yan after hearing Bo Jingning's voice.

They appeared suddenly, like saviors, and turned the tide.

She bit her lip, her eyes revealing obvious jealousy.

He Yan glanced coldly at the two people surrounded in the middle.

"What are you doing here?"
