The man immediately got up, found out which hospital it was, and ran out.

Half an hour later, the guy called back: "Lan Siqi cut her wrists, but the injury wasn't serious. She was discharged after only one morning in the hospital."

Lu Yang couldn't help but chuckle, having roughly guessed what was going on.

Cheng Lin wore a speechless expression and said, "Does this woman have a mental illness? She even harms herself."

Lu Yang said with a straight face, "It must be because she asked Lan Chongqi to teach me a lesson yesterday, but Lan Chongqi ignored her. She went back and acted up and made a scene, so Lan Chongqi scolded her."

"She just pulled this stunt; someone who's been spoiled since childhood can't stand the slightest grievance."

After thinking about it, Lu Yang still felt it was necessary to tell Lan Chongqi about this. If Lan Siqi continued to cause trouble, it would be a problem for both of them.

Fortunately, he and Lan Chongqi exchanged phone numbers during their last meal.

He called Lan Chongqi's office directly. Lan Chongqi had just returned from a meeting and was somewhat surprised to receive Lu Yang's call.

Lu Yang said politely, "There's something I'd like to tell you. He Yunwei already knows that I signed a contract with Hongtu, entrusting them with full authority to handle the mall's renovation."

Lan Chongqi put down his pen, quite surprised: "You only made the decision yesterday afternoon, how did they find out so quickly?"

But he quickly realized what was going on, and after a moment of silence, asked, "You suspect that Siqi leaked the information?"

Lu Yang sighed and said helplessly, "I don't want to doubt her either, after all, she is your own niece, but there were only a few people present at the time."

Lan Chongqi felt a headache coming on; he truly hadn't expected Lan Siqi to act so recklessly.

He was initially hesitant about whether to let Lan Siqi move out, given what she had done yesterday.

But after hearing Lu Yang's words, he immediately became more determined to make Lan Siqi move out.

This girl acts without any sense of propriety. If we continue to keep her around, not only will Lu Yang be implicated, but he himself will also be affected.

He sighed helplessly and said, "I'm sorry, it's my fault for not teaching you properly. I'll discipline her when I get back."

“I will do my best to cover for you this time. I hope you won’t tell anyone that Siqi leaked the information.”

Lu Yang knew this would happen; Lan Chongqi would definitely help Lan Siqi.

He just wanted to remind Lan Chongqi to prevent him from continuing to keep Lan Siqi by his side and revealing their secrets.

“Okay, He Yunwei is already spreading rumors about me, saying that I got this project by taking advantage of Shen Xuwen and his lover’s connections.”

"Furthermore, they also pressured the people in charge of the shopping mall project at Hongtu Architectural Design Company to tamper with the project."

With each word he spoke, Lan Chongqi's face paled a little more. He truly hadn't expected that Lan Siqi would cause him such a huge mess if he wasn't careful.

Lan Chongqi took a deep breath, suppressing his anger, and sighed before asking, "What do you plan to do?"

Lu Yang gave a wry smile: "I can only keep a close eye on the construction project and give the person in charge more money so that he won't be so easily turned."

"However, I cannot protect the family of the person in charge of this project. You and Deputy Director Shen will have to take care of things here."

Lan Chongqi said seriously, "Don't worry about that. You just need to manage the people involved in this project. I will arrange protection for his family and ensure they are not in danger."

Lu Yang breathed a sigh of relief. His biggest worry was He Yunwei and Huang Jinghai, who might act rashly and target Ji Kang's family.

Now that he has received Lan Chongqi's promise, he has no more worries.

As long as they keep Ji Kang and his men in check and keep a close eye on their renovation work, they're unlikely to make any mistakes.

However, Lu Yang felt that there was only one way to prevent theft, not another.

He had to find a way to make He Yunwei back down.

After all, renovating the mall is only the first step in planning to open it.

He also had to rearrange the counter and hire people to bring the goods over from the south.

This is a huge project, and every step must be done correctly.

He Yunwei has countless opportunities to trip him up. He should focus his energy on doing business, not on outsmarting He Yunwei.

So he asked coldly, "What do you know about He Yunwei and Huang Jinghai? What are their weaknesses?"

Lan Chongqi immediately realized that Lu Yang was planning to deal with He Yunwei and Huang Jinghai.

"Huang Jinghai is easy to deal with; all we need to do is tell his father."

“He Yunwei is not easy to deal with. He is very cunning. I don’t know what his weaknesses are. I will discuss it with Deputy Director Shen, and you can also think of a way to deal with him.”

After hanging up the phone, Lu Yang stuffed his mobile phone into his bag and said coldly, "I have to go see Ji Kang. Do you guys want to come with me?"

Cheng Lin said somewhat awkwardly, "I'm getting married soon, and I've been quite busy these past few days. Why don't you and Brother Chen go together?"

Lu Yang had almost forgotten that Cheng Lin was getting married, and he couldn't help but feel a little apologetic.

He patted Cheng Lin on the shoulder and said, "I'll definitely give you the wedding gift. A wedding between brothers has to be impressive. You go ahead and get busy. I really can't help you with anything else."

Cheng Lin rolled up his sleeves and said with a smile, "So what? You do your thing and I'll do mine. As long as you're on time for the wedding, that's fine."

After saying that, he grabbed his bag and quickly left the Perfume Bar.

Li Chen packed his things, tossed his suit jacket onto his body, and said with a cigarette in his mouth, "Let's go meet this Ji Kang, the guy He Yunwei sent. Maybe we can take this opportunity to give him a warning."

Lu Yang nodded, and the two drove straight to Hongtu Architectural Design Company.

Ji Kang felt completely overwhelmed. How did he, a mere employee, get involved with the underworld?

The gangster also threatened him with a sinister look, forcing him to violate professional ethics and even ruin his career.

He now wishes he could find a crack in the ground and disappear into it, never to come out again.

But that was impossible. Across from him sat a man with tattooed arms, a cigarette dangling from his lips, his feet propped up on his glass coffee table, looking at him with a nonchalant air.

The thug urged impatiently, "Giving you 5 isn't enough, don't be so shameless."

Ji Kang gave a bitter smile and helplessly brushed off the thug: "Brother Hei, this isn't about money. I might end up in jail."

“I also have a family to support, and I can’t afford to take such a risk. That Mr. Lu is not someone to be trifled with.”

Hei Zi immediately spat his cigarette butt on the ground, jumped up and cursed angrily, "Lu Yang is just a greenhorn who hasn't even grown his first hair yet. You think he's not easy to mess with? Then do you fucking think our Brother Yun is easy to mess with?"

"If you don't listen to me, I'll have someone tear your house down."

Ji Kang felt a splitting headache; he was truly struggling to cope.

But the hater was already furious and kicked over the glass coffee table.

The coffee table crashed to the ground with a loud bang and shattered.

Hei Zi roared, "I'm asking you one last time, are you fucking going to do it or not?"
