After Black Moonlight revealed her true feelings, everyone panicked.

By the time Zhu Jinming's assistant realized something was wrong and rushed over, Lu Sijian had already finished dealing with Zhu Jinming and was putting on her shoes.

Her body was still too weak; her arms were a little sore, and she didn't really want to move. She leaned against the wall and tried to push her foot in, but she couldn't manage it after a few tries.

"Let me do it." Sheng Yunchao squatted down and helped her put on her shoes.

Then she carefully wiped all the shoes with a handkerchief.

Uncle Ling: "..."

That's my handkerchief, young master!

Looking at Zhu Jinming's swollen face, the assistant glared fiercely at Lu Sijian: "Did you do this?"

He immediately locked onto Lu Sijian, saying, "Don't deny it, this isn't over. If you hit our young master, you're as good as dead!"

Sheng Yunchao glanced over and asked, "Who are you calling waiting to die?"

The assistant's arrogance immediately diminished; Sheng Yunchao's gaze made him feel somewhat unbearable.

"Call the police! I want to call the police!" Zhu Jinming shouted, his tongue thick with slurred speech.

Lu Sijian: "Okay, then let's call the police..."

"You want to call the police? Do you want me to call for you?" Sheng Yunchao's voice drowned out hers.

He smiled calmly, "I tripped you and made you fall like this. I'm really sorry. I'm willing to accept any punishment. But who told you to hit me first?"

Lu Sijian looked up at him.

[If the goal is simply to poach clients, is it really necessary to go to this extent?]

Sheng Yunchao felt somewhat helpless; how could she possibly doubt his sincerity?

Zhu Jinming's eyes widened. "You're lying! She's the one who beat me up like this!"

Holy crap, is he insane? He's twisting the truth and taking all the blame upon himself!

Even if Zhu Jinming had grievances against Sheng Yunchao, he knew he couldn't actually report him to the police.

This would offend the entire Sheng Group and make it impossible for the Zhu family and the Sheng family to cooperate. His father would definitely beat him to death!

But Lu Sijian is different. She was the one who started it, and she's the daughter who doesn't work for the company, so she's mostly pampered but has no real power.

If he insists on pursuing this matter, the Lu family will have to give him an explanation.

Sheng Yunchao smiled nonchalantly in his peach blossom eyes, "Do you have any evidence? She's so weak, she can't even kill a chicken. Do you think anyone would believe you if you said she beat you up like this?"

Zhu Jinming chose to strike here because there were no surveillance cameras.

Zhu Jinming's face turned ashen. There were four people present, but the other three were clearly standing together, so he had no evidence.

Lu Sijian sighed. Since she had taken action, she had no intention of shifting the blame to others.

【However, Sheng Yunchao, you're being too certain. There are actually eyewitnesses.】

She noticed someone hiding in the corner of the wall when she took off her shoes.

Upon hearing this thought, Shen Baolin walked out immediately and said coldly, "I didn't see anything."

So don't worry about me betraying you. After all, we're friends. I wouldn't go so far as to help Zhu Jinming against you.

She came out after Zhu Jinming. When she saw Lu Sijian being hit, she hesitated for a moment about whether to help, just as Sheng Yunchao arrived.

She had been hiding because she didn't want to get involved, but now that Lu Sijian had discovered her, there was no need to hide anymore.

[Shen Baolin is here too? Oh well, the one hiding up ahead is probably Xia Youyou.]

Shen Baolin was taken aback. Xia Youyou was here too?

Sheng Yunchao lifted his leg and walked towards the passage ahead. Seeing that there was no way to avoid it, Xia Youyou could only bite the bullet and walk out.

"Oh, honey, that's great! So you're here too!" Zhu Jinming exclaimed with delight.

He wanted to laugh out loud, but the pain from the injury on his face made him hiss, so he could only suppress his joy and give Lu Sijian a smug look.

"See? I have an eyewitness!"

Shen Baolin's heart skipped a beat. Oh no, Xia Youyou will definitely side with Zhu Jinming!

Xia Youyou and Lian Buman were originally on the same side. After so many years of confrontation, they had accumulated countless grudges. Xia Youyou could take this opportunity to get revenge!

Besides, this was a perfect opportunity to curry favor with Zhu Jinming, and she certainly wouldn't miss it.

She was so nervous that she broke out in a cold sweat, but when she turned around, she found that Lu Sijian actually... had a completely calm expression on her face.

"Youyou, baby, tell me quickly, did she hit me with the sole of her shoe and make me like this?" Zhu Jinming said, glaring fiercely at Lu Sijian. "You're finished, I'll definitely send you to jail!"

With both old and new grudges combined, he now hated Lu Sijian to the core.

Sheng Yunchao smiled and said, "Madam, if you didn't see it, you can just say you didn't see it."

Shen Baolin said with a warning tone, "Xia Youyou, this is President Sheng Yunchao."

You should carefully consider the consequences of offending him.

Xia Youyou hesitated for a moment, and Lu Sijian suddenly said, "It's okay, you can say whatever you want."

Xia Youyou must be feeling helpless too. She was suddenly dragged into this, and both sides are pressuring her, but she can't afford to offend either of them.

Shen Baolin was speechless. After you've said all that, do you think Xia Youyou will still side with you?

"Youyou, don't listen to them, hurry up and tell me, I'll back you up!" Zhu Jinming urged anxiously.

Xia Youyou raised her head: "I didn't see Lu Sijian hit you, but I saw you slam her against the wall and were about to attack her."

"What did you say?" Zhu Jinming raised his voice, then immediately noticed a ringing in his ears from the force of his voice.

For a moment, he wondered if he had misheard.

"Xia Youyou, are you insane?" Zhu Jinming's assistant questioned sharply, having heard it clearly. "How dare you betray our young master?"

[Sigh, this silly girl.] Lu Sijian sighed inwardly.

She quickly stepped forward and pulled Xia Youyou behind her.

Xia Youyou was petite, and she was completely blocked by her.

Sheng Yunchao moved at almost the same time as her, but he shielded Lu Sijian behind him.

Shen Baolin stood there, her mind blank. Something completely unexpected had happened: Xia Youyou had actually spoken up for Lu Sijian.

Instead of making excuses that she didn't see anything, or honestly stating all the facts she did see, she selectively presented parts of the story, accusing Zhu Jinming of assaulting Lu Sijian.

You have to understand that at this point, even if she said she didn't see it, Zhu Jinming wouldn't let her off the hook, let alone her obvious bias.

Between Zhu Jinming, Shiji, and Lu Sijian, she chose Lu Sijian.

She waded into the muddy waters without hesitation, even though she herself didn't want to.

But why? Aren't she and Lu Sijian mortal enemies?

Isn't she afraid of offending Zhu Jinming, which could shatter her dream of marrying into a wealthy family and even lead to her being killed?

Zhu Jinming had fully realized what was happening by then, his eyes filled with a frighteningly sinister look. "Xia Youyou, I'll give you a chance. Stand up and say it again."

If she dares to stand up, he will immediately slap her twice to show her the consequences of betraying him!

“She’s made herself perfectly clear. Does being mentally challenged affect hearing?” Sheng Yunchao chuckled.

"Oh, right, I need to correct you. I tripped you to stop you from continuing your violent acts, so it was self-defense."

God the hell has redefined self-defense!
