The person in the elevator was Lu Xiaowu.

Tonight, JK Group is holding a large-scale bidding conference in the largest banquet hall on the top floor. All the group's presidents are in attendance, making it a grand occasion. The project is personally overseen by the eldest brother, Tang Yichen. Since Lu Yan didn't have much work assigned to him, he just came to show his face, hence his timely arrival.

He was on the phone with his fourth brother, Ji Fengfan, in the elevator, telling him that he would be there soon.

Unexpectedly, the elevator doors opened halfway up the stairs.

Then he saw his second sister-in-law, disheveled and unconscious, collapse in front of him.

Seeing Shen Nian faint, Lu Xiaowu immediately stepped out of the elevator to catch her, then exclaimed, "Second Sister-in-law?"

The moment the elevator doors opened and Shen Nian saw Lu Yan, it was as if she had seen a huge ray of sunshine. She breathed a sigh of relief, and the moment her tense nerves relaxed, she fainted.

Lu Yan glanced at the unconscious Shen Nian, then noticed that both her cheeks were swollen and red, with obvious five-finger marks, which looked quite frightening. Looking at Lin Shao behind her, and the two bodyguard-like figures surrounding her on either side, a fierce glint flashed across his face.

Lu Xiaowu, who is usually always laughing and joking, was also angry at this moment, because anyone with eyes could see what had happened to Shen Nian.

However, those who dare to provoke the Grand Duke Jupiter are truly courting death.

He took off his coat and draped it over Shen Nian, then took out his phone to call Mo Ze and ask his second brother to come down and pick up his wife.

Lin Shao, looking at the troublesome person who suddenly came out of the elevator, had no idea what he had done wrong.

Walking up to Lu Yan, he still arrogantly said to Lu Yan, who was squatting on the ground taking care of Shen Nian, "Kid, I advise you not to meddle in other people's business, or you won't even know how you died."

Lu Yan lowered his head and gave a cold snort, "Is that so?"

He stopped making phone calls. Some people are just too impatient to be disciplined, so shouldn't he give them a good beating?

He sent a WeChat message to Mo Ze: "Second Brother, on the fifteenth floor, your wife has fainted at the elevator entrance."

Then, he picked up Shen Nian and stood up, gently placing her on the sofa next to the elevator. He then began to slowly unbutton his shirt cuffs, casually saying, "I'd like to see how you plan to make me die."

He spoke softly, and Lin Shao and the others were not afraid.

Furthermore, Lu Xiaowu was already quite handsome, with fair skin and a refined appearance. His slow, elegant movements as he rolled up his sleeves made him look like he was preparing to dine in a Western restaurant.

Lin Shao and his men didn't take him seriously at all, since his men were all bodyguards who knew a thing or two.

They thought dealing with this was incredibly easy.

"Pretty boy, are you sure you want to meddle in other people's business and get yourself into trouble?" Young Master Lin was still hitting him with his belt, looking like a thug. "I'm in a good mood today, I'll give you one more chance. If you beg for mercy now, I might let you off..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was kicked away and fell to the ground.

His movements were so fast that no one could see how Lu Yan made his move.

Lin Shao lay on the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood. He angrily shouted at his men, "Grab this brat!"

His men all surrounded Lu Yan.

Lu Yan stretched his wrists and neck without any fear, saying, "Perfect, it's been a long time since your ancestor has stretched his muscles. Today I'll use you guys as practice."

Lin Shao's men exchanged glances and charged directly at Lu Yan.

Despite being outnumbered, Lu Yan held his own. Although he had a few bruises on his face, he still managed to defeat all of them.

In the banquet hall on the top floor, several presidents of the JK Group sat in the front row.

They were all dressed in suits and ties, looking incredibly handsome. The sight of them sitting there was the most beautiful one tonight.

The first thing everyone saw when they entered was that they unconsciously looked in the direction of those people.

The ceremony was about to begin when the eldest brother, Tang Yichen, asked, "Where are the five of them? Why haven't they arrived yet?"

"Big brother, Xiao Wu said he's in the elevator and will be there soon," Ji Fengfan replied immediately after finishing a phone call with Lu Yan.

Tang Yichen nodded.

At this moment, Mo Ze, who was sitting next to him, glanced down at his phone, then suddenly stood up and rushed out of the banquet hall.

The remaining three people, Tang Yichen, Qin Hao, and Ji Fengfan, were stunned for a moment, looked at each other, and didn't know what had happened.

"Big brother, what's wrong? Why did second brother suddenly leave?" Qin Hao asked with a puzzled look.

"Yes, the ceremony is about to begin. Why did Second Brother suddenly leave?" Ji Fengfan added.

Tang Yichen frowned slightly, knowing that Mo Ze was not the type to leave without saying goodbye; something must have happened.

“Let’s go take a look together.” Tang Yichen also stood up.

"Okay." Qin Hao and Ji Fengfan said in unison, and stood up together.

The project manager watched as the presidents prepared to leave one by one. The ceremony was about to begin, and everyone was waiting.

The person in charge hurriedly went up to him, "President Tang, the ceremony is about to begin, this..." he reminded him tactfully.

Tang Yichen raised his hand to check the time and said to the project leader, "The ceremony will be postponed by half an hour. Please inform everyone first." Then he led Qin Hao and Ji Fengfan, following Mo Ze's footsteps, out of the venue.

The project manager said, "...Okay, okay, Mr. Tang."

He watched the three bigwigs leave, unable to understand what could be more important than this long-planned opening ceremony!

After seeing Lu Yan's WeChat message, Mo Ze rushed to the fifteenth floor without thinking twice.

When he arrived at the fifteenth floor, Lin Shao and his men had already been beaten to the ground by Lu Yan. However, since the other side had more people, Lu Xiaowu also got punched in the face and was bruised.

Mo Ze saw this scene as soon as he stepped out of the elevator. He frowned, glanced around, and when he saw the person lying on the sofa, his pupils shrank, and he strode towards the sofa.

As he approached, he saw Shen Nian's two swollen cheeks.

His face immediately darkened, and the surrounding air seemed to drop several degrees in temperature.

Mo Ze looked at Lu Yan, who was standing on someone's back, and asked, "Xiao Wu, what's going on?"

“I don’t know what happened either. When the elevator doors opened, my second sister-in-law… fainted in front of me.” Lu Yan didn’t mention how disheveled Shen Nian’s clothes were at the time, worried that Mo Ze would lose control. Then he glanced at the person on the ground and continued, “Then I saw these people preparing to grab her.”

Lin Shao, kicked a few times by Lu Yan, hadn't even seen who it was. He struggled to his feet, still yelling, "Do you know who I am? Let me tell you, you've messed with me today, and I'll make you regret it! Just you wait, I'll call my men to deal with you right now..."

Mo Ze turned to look at Lin Shao, whose eyes were bruised and swollen, and strode over to him.

The other person was making a phone call when Mo Ze grabbed his wrist. The phone fell to the ground with a 'crack' sound, accompanied by Lin Shao's pig-like scream. Lin Shao clutched his broken hand and slumped back to the ground, wailing, "Ah, my hand, my hand..."
