After the divorce, the crazy CEO knocked on his ex-wife's door every night.

His gaze finally settled on Lu Shuli upstairs, then he stared intently at Jin Shuying, his face full of seriousness.

He frowned deeply and waved for the bodyguards around him to step back for the time being.

Lu Shuli remained standing in that spot, quietly and silently watching everything that was happening downstairs, as if he were just an outsider, a bystander who had nothing to do with it, without any intention of taking action.

"Release her and let me take her place. What you and your son really want to get back at is me; this has nothing to do with her."

Lu Shuli said these words almost through gritted teeth, his eyes were incredibly firm, his gaze fixed on Lu Yuchen upstairs, revealing endless determination.

Seeing this, several people stepped forward and tried to restrain Lu Shuli.

At this moment, Shen Xuan's heart was pounding in her chest, and her eyes were filled with tension and unease.

Just as the man was about to make his move, Lu Yuchen moved with extraordinary speed, delivering a precise and powerful strike that instantly knocked away the man who was holding a knife to Shen Xuan's neck.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Yuchen's series of swift and powerful movements knocked down several people who were approaching them like a whirlwind. These opponents, who were originally preparing to attack them, were knocked to the ground one by one with dull thuds, plunging the once quiet living room into chaos and panic.

At this critical moment, the door was suddenly kicked open with great force, and a group of people rushed in with the sound of breaking wood, making the scene even more chaotic.

Taking advantage of the temporary chaos caused by the new wave of people rushing in outside, Lu Yuchen quickly reached out and grabbed Shen Xuan's arm tightly, rushing out in hopes of escaping this dangerous place.

During the escape, a hand suddenly reached out from an unknown direction and forcefully ripped off the necklace from her neck; the movement was so fast it was almost invisible.

The red line snapped instantly, tracing across her delicate, fair skin and leaving a noticeable, thin red mark on her neck.

Kim Suk-young, who had been standing aside observing the chaotic scene, finally turned her gaze to the necklace that had just been torn off on the ground. Her eyes were filled with surprise and confusion, as if this sudden accident had made the whole world different.

While the attackers were distracted by the mysterious necklace, Lu Yuchen, protecting Shen Xuan whose body was already trembling slightly, successfully broke through the encirclement and rushed towards the light outside.

Lu Shuli, who happened to be upstairs and witnessed the whole thing, immediately shouted to stop the crowd below who were still making a scene, "Enough!"

His deep, powerful voice was particularly clear in the quiet air, echoing in every corner of the villa.

Picking up the red string pendant that had just been accidentally broken but still radiated some indescribable glow from the ground, Kim Suk-young's fingers trembled slightly with tension or fear. She seemed to be caught in a very complicated and difficult knot in her heart, and the noise around her seemed to become distant and unimportant to her.

After all the sounds had completely subsided, the living room, which had been filled with the sounds of fighting and shouting, was now nothing but an indescribable mess and chaos, with a heavy and oppressive atmosphere permeating the air.

Why would this woman wear such unusual and meaningful jewelry?

Jin Shuying was filled with doubt. Her fingers were still trembling as she picked up the necklace that had been scattered on the floor. She couldn't help but recall a memory from more than 20 years ago that had been sealed away.

Witnessing his mother's outburst, Lu Shuli stood there, frowning in thought. He couldn't understand why a simple pendant could make his usually calm and composed mother so agitated and uneasy.

He had indeed intended to let Shen Xuan go, but he never expected his mother to want to kill her.

"Shuli, help me find that woman. There are some things I need to ask her face to face."

When Jin Shuying turned to look at her son, she was holding the delicate necklace tightly in her hand and said with a solemn expression.

“She’s long gone. Where am I supposed to find her? Besides, you’re the one who wants her dead. Even if I did find her, she would never want to come back here.”

Lu Shuli stood casually to the side, his sleeves rolled up to his wrists, as if the matter had nothing to do with him.

Upon hearing this, Jin Shuying felt as if something was blocking her chest, and she suddenly became weak. She involuntarily took a few steps back and finally slumped down on the soft sofa.

Indeed, she had almost killed Shen Xuan twice. If her guess was right, how could she have the face to ask her to return to the place that had almost taken her life?

Lu Yuchen pulled Shen Xuan away from that unsettling place and quickly got into the car that had been prepared beforehand.

Shen Xuan seemed to have suffered a great blow. Her mind went blank, and she had no idea what had happened. She just stared blankly at everything around her.

After the car had driven quite a distance, Shen Xuan gradually recovered from that dazed state.

Just then, she suddenly noticed a barely perceptible red stain on the steering wheel—it was blood!

Following the trail, she saw several faint scratches on the back of Lu Yuchen's hand. Although the wounds didn't look serious, they still made her feel a pang of heartache.

"You are hurt!"

Shen Xuan's voice was clearly filled with anxiety and tension.

"Don't worry, it's just a minor injury."

In response to her concern, Lu Yucheng seemed unconcerned, simply pulling his arm back and gently placing it outside the window, while continuing to concentrate on driving, his eyes never leaving the road ahead for even a second.

"Stop the car, I'll take you to the hospital."

Realizing the seriousness of the problem, Shen Xuan spoke firmly and resolutely, hoping to persuade him to seek medical treatment for his wound as soon as possible.

"It's really nothing, no need to go to all that trouble."

Despite feeling the strong concern from those around him, Lu Yuchen smiled and shook his head, not intending to stop his current journey. He kept his grip on the steering wheel, focusing all his attention on ensuring safe driving.

"This is too dangerous for you. Stop the car right now and let me see your wound."

She frowned, her voice slightly angry, and her worry was palpable.

Lu Yuchen smoothly steered the car and slowly pulled it to the side of the road.

After he turned off the engine, Shen Xuan hurriedly got out of the car and came to his side.

It was only then that she noticed the tear on the cuff of his suit, and a feeling of pity and anxiety welled up inside her.

She carefully helped him to the passenger seat, while she took the driver's seat to take over driving.

Looking up, Li Siyuan's familiar yet cold face suddenly came into view.

He stood there, like an omnipresent wind, which made her shiver involuntarily, and an indescribable sense of fear welled up inside her.
