He lured her deep into his trap, using both overt and covert methods to seduce her.

Just now, when Zhou Yan was outside the door, he vaguely heard extremely miserable howls coming from inside the house.

He knew very well that once Fu Lu made his move, he would show no mercy.

However, when he witnessed the man's miserable state, he couldn't help but gasp in horror.

The man's entire face was a bloody mess, making it difficult to recognize him. Even his teeth had been smashed out.

Zhou Yan couldn't help but wonder to himself: If Fu Lu retaliated so fiercely against this person, how would Zhou Fu be treated?

Although he and his cousin had always been at odds and disliked each other, blood is thicker than water, and they were, after all, blood-related cousins.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yan frowned slightly and quickly asked, "Where do you plan to take him?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ming dared not conceal anything and truthfully replied, "In response to Young Master Zhou, we are preparing to send him to the police station."

Previously, they had only used a pretext to temporarily release him on bail. Now that Mr. Fu has vented his anger, it is natural to send him back to the police station.

As he spoke, Zhang Ming waved to the two bodyguards, signaling them to hurry up and get the unconscious man into the car.

Zhang Ming had already packed his things and was about to turn and leave.

Just then, he inadvertently glanced at Zhou Yan, who was still standing quietly in the same spot, seemingly with no intention of leaving.

Out of politeness, Zhang Ming smiled and said, "Young Master Zhou, then I'll take my leave first."

However, he had only taken two steps when Zhou Yan's deep and magnetic voice suddenly came from behind him: "Wait a minute."

Zhang Ming stopped, slowly turned around, raised his eyes to look at Zhou Yan, and asked in confusion, "Young Master Zhou, is there anything else you need to instruct me on?"

Zhou Yan asked calmly, "Do you know which ward Song Zhi is in now? How are her injuries? Are they serious?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ming shook his head and replied truthfully, "I don't know much about Miss Song's specific injuries, but I do know the location of her ward."

"Send me the address."

"Ok."

Zhou Yan turned and got into the car.

Not long after, a pleasant text message notification sounded in the car. Zhou Yan picked up his phone to check and, sure enough, it was an address message sent by Zhang Ming.

He skillfully opened his phone's navigation app, set the destination to the hospital, and then stepped on the gas, speeding the car toward the hospital.

……

The Zhou family at that time.

Fu Lu's luxury car slowly drove into the spacious open-air parking lot outside the Zhou family villa and parked steadily in the designated spot.

The car door was gently pushed open, and Fu Lu got out of the car.

Those with keen eyes around him immediately noticed him and cast their concerned glances at him.

Soon, someone with sharp eyes recognized Fu Lu, and their face lit up with surprise. They quickly stepped forward and greeted him warmly.

A short while later, Han Zhou and Gu Chile also walked over with smiles on their faces.

"Ninth Brother, why didn't your wife come with you?"

Gu Chile blinked her big, curious eyes and asked first.

Fu Lu replied calmly and in a composed tone, "She wasn't feeling well, so she didn't come."

Upon hearing this answer, Gu Chile couldn't help but pout and mutter, "Oh dear, I was really looking forward to meeting my sister-in-law!"

After saying that, he mischievously leaned closer to Fu Lu and lowered his voice to continue, "Ninth Brother, why didn't you bring your wife along? You could take this opportunity to declare your ownership to everyone and let them know that you are already taken!"

Fu Lu simply scoffed at Gu Chile's teasing, then explained helplessly, "She's in the hospital and it's inconvenient for her to come."

Upon hearing this, Han Zhou frowned slightly and asked with concern, "Hospitalized?"

Fu Lu nodded and gave a general account of how Song Zhi was attacked and injured by thugs.

After hearing this, Gu Chile's eyes widened, and he blurted out in astonishment, "Damn, this is a society governed by law, who would be so reckless?"

At the same time, Han Zhou also turned his attention to Fu Lu, wanting to know who he was.

Just as Fu Lu was about to speak, he suddenly saw Zhou Fu, dressed in a gorgeous strapless dress, walking gracefully toward him.

His eyes darted around, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly as he deliberately kept everyone in suspense: "You'll find out when the time comes."

As soon as she finished speaking, Zhou Fu walked up to them with a bright smile and light steps, asking in a sweet voice, "What are you all talking about so mysteriously?"

Gu Chile actually had no good feelings towards Zhou Fu. He only came along out of consideration for Han Zhou.

Therefore, when Zhou Fu took the initiative to talk to him, he didn't even bother to lift his eyelids and completely ignored her.

Zhou Fu didn't seem annoyed by Gu Chile's indifference at all. She still smiled and looked at Fu Lu, saying softly, "Ninth Brother, thank you so much for coming to my birthday party."

Upon hearing this, Fu Lu revealed a half-smile on his face and slowly said, "If I hadn't come, this carefully prepared gift wouldn't have been able to reach you."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Fu's beautiful eyes flashed with surprise, and she eagerly asked, "You prepared a gift for me? What is it?"

Faced with Zhou Fu's expectant gaze, Fu Lu simply shook his head and mysteriously uttered two words: "Keep it a secret!"

He then stepped aside past Zhou Fu and strode into the banquet hall.

When Zhou Fu saw Fu Lu heading towards the banquet hall, her heart tightened, and she quickly lifted her skirt and followed him.

A short while later, the two walked into the banquet hall side by side.

In an instant, the once noisy banquet hall seemed to be paused, and everyone's eyes were focused on them.

The guests were taken aback at first, then began to whisper among themselves.

"Look, isn't that Fu Lu? I didn't expect him to actually come back to China this year."

"That's right, and he even appeared with today's birthday girl, Zhou Fu. These two are childhood sweethearts who grew up together. They are a perfect match, a golden couple."

"I also heard that their two families arranged a marriage between their children a long time ago. I wonder when I will be able to attend their wedding banquet and eat their wedding candy."

"..."

These whispers reached Zhou Fu's ears clearly, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, revealing a hint of smugness.

Yes, the decision made yesterday was indeed the right one.

Song Zhi, that disreputable woman, doesn't deserve to attend my birthday party.

I'll deal with her after her birthday.

Who dared to steal her man?

Then don't blame her for being rude.
