The wealthy military officer spoils his wife excessively

Lu Zheng stepped aside slightly to let Xiao Yuan in, then closed the door behind him.

As soon as Xiao Yuan entered, she saw the glass cabinet covered with photos. Her eyes widened, and she stared at Nie Su, asking, "What do you mean by this?"

Xiao Ai, reminded by her, had just noticed it and let out a soft "Ah!" before Su Wen tugged at her from behind.

Lu Zheng thought the photo was given to him by Xiao Yuan last night, and he also misunderstood that Xiao Yuan had slapped him. How could he let Xiao Ai undermine her at this time?

The more exciting the scene, the better.

Lu Zheng walked over and quickly tore all the photos off the glass display case, then held out his hand to Xiao Yuan: "Did you bring everything?"

Xiao Yuan eagerly handed over a brown paper document bag, not forgetting to explain, "Third Brother, you have to believe me, this woman's private life is very messy. Not only did she have affairs with the men in these photos, but two years ago she also..."

"Enough—" Lu Zheng's shout startled not only Xiao Yuan but also Su Wen.

Su Wen was surprised when Xiao Yuan Gang mentioned "two years ago." Could it be that she had found out something?

Actually, she was more inclined to believe that Xiao Yuan was bluffing. After all, with Qin Jiangfeng and Hao Haiyun's methods, erasing the past of a nobody like her would be a piece of cake; otherwise, Lu Zheng wouldn't have been unable to find her for three years.

Lu Zheng's handsome face was cold and expressionless as he warned her, "These had better be all of them. Don't let me find out you have backups."

Xiao Yuan's eyes reddened: "Third Brother, you really trust this woman so much? You don't even believe the photos right in front of you, you only believe her one-sided story. What did I do wrong? I did all this for you..."

A barely perceptible cold smile appeared on Suwen's tightly pursed lips.

As expected, Lu Zheng coldly returned her gaze: "You really don't know where you went wrong?"

"..."

"You're wrong because this is a matter between me and Susu. Whether she's good or bad is none of your business!"

In the quiet room, only Xiao Yuan's soft sobs could be heard.

After a long while, Xiao Ai looked at her watch, then at Su Wen, and made faces at him. However, the atmosphere was too tense, and she didn't even dare to breathe.

Suwen understood her meaning. She walked to the window and saw that more than ten media vehicles were already parked downstairs. Reporters from each media outlet had set up tripods, telephoto lenses, short-focus lenses, and recording pens, fully equipped and pacing around the entrance, hoping to find the best shooting position. They seemed confident that they could catch a big news story.

Indeed, if she walked out of Mour side by side with Lu Zheng and Xiao Yuan right now, even without saying anything, it would be enough to make headlines for days.

Xiao Ai has been in this industry for a few years, and even she was a bit surprised to see this spectacle. They're not some superstar; even the Edison Chen photo scandal back in the day had this kind of impact, right?

Lu Zheng followed her gaze and glanced downstairs. Whenever a car entered or exited the gate, the reporter would immediately jump out of the interview vehicle, look inside, and habitually raise his camera.

They were all a bit stumped. What to do?

Although he can spend money to suppress the news, public opinion can be powerful. He can block print media, but can he completely block the ubiquitous internet?

He called the manager to ask if there was a back door. Usually, nightclubs like this have backup exits. Sure enough, the manager pointed them in the right direction. Lu Zheng told the manager to drive his car to the back door and wait there. Then, he glanced at Xiao Yuan, who was standing there dumbfounded, and coldly said three words: "Take off your clothes."

At the magnificent entrance of Mour, reporters' cameras had already gathered. Xiao Ai, holding onto the person next to her who was wearing a large hoodie, had their head covered by a hoodie and was wearing sunglasses, quickly got into the nanny van. When they came out of the parking lot and passed the entrance, they deliberately slowed down so that the reporters could clearly see a person sitting inside with their head covered by a hoodie.

Immediately, flashes went off everywhere, snapping photos of the car. Even in broad daylight, Xiao Ai had to shield her eyes with her hand. The person sitting next to her impatiently picked up their bag and used it to block the car window.

The reporter immediately recognized that this was the bag Nie Suwen had been carrying on the show yesterday.

They all jumped into their own interview vehicles and followed closely behind this one.

About twenty minutes later, the reporters at the entrance had mostly left, and Lu Zheng, with his arm around Su Wen, who was wearing a wide-brimmed hat, quietly got into the car through the back door.

He drove himself, and to avoid being spotted by reporters, he deliberately took a long detour in the opposite direction.

Once they were finally out of the danger zone, he slowed down, glanced at the person beside him, his gaze lingering on her slightly swollen face and cracked lips, a hint of helplessness in his eyes: "Do you still have to go to work like this?"

She looked at him and pouted, "Otherwise, I can't afford the penalty for breach of contract." The implication was that all her hard work was being exploited by him, the boss.

As they were talking, Lu Zheng's phone, which was on the center console, rang. The screen was flashing, and Su Wen glanced at it and saw Xiao Yuan's name.

Lu Zheng calmly drove, slowly bringing his phone to his ear. Xiao Yuan's cries came through clearly: "Third Brother, come save me... Ah! Get away!..."

It was noisy on the other end of the phone. Xiao Yuan's crying was interrupted by screams from time to time. Compared to the peace on this side, the battle on the other side was quite fierce.

"Third Brother, did you hear that? These reporters are insane! Has that woman left yet? Come save me..."

Lu Zheng stared at the road ahead, and said to his phone with a contemptuous and indifferent tone, "Aren't you very capable? Then figure it out yourself."

"Third brother..."

The call was cut off here. He put his phone back on the center console and continued to concentrate on driving.

Meanwhile, Xiao Yuan was surrounded and had no choice but to get back into her car. Now, all the reporters' cameras were pointed outside the car, so she couldn't drive even if she wanted to.

Inside the car, Xiao Yuan had already taken off her hat and sunglasses. Her hair was disheveled, her clothes were torn and deformed by the reporters, and her face was flushed.

"Crazy, they're all crazy!" she smashed her phone, unable to hold back her curses.

Xiao Ai's eyelids twitched. Her perfectly good phone was smashed to pieces, and she felt sorry for Xiao Yuan. She really did have the temper of a spoiled princess.

However, ten minutes later, Xiao Yuan began to regret her actions.

Instead of Lu Zheng, she was greeted by a policeman in uniform.

At first, she thought it was a patrol officer who had come to clear the way after seeing the reporters surrounding her, and she breathed a sigh of relief. But after the police dispersed the reporters and knocked on the car door, they asked with a serious expression, "Which one of you is Xiao Yuan?"

Xiao Yuan stammered, "I..."

A policeman leaned into the car, searched Xiao Yuan's bag, and said as he opened it, "Someone reported you for stealing other people's property..." Then, he took out a diamond ring from the bag, held it in his hand, and asked, "Is this yours?"

Xiao Yuan honestly shook her head.

Another officer quickly unlocked the handcuffs on her waist and handcuffed them to her wrists: "Caught red-handed, come with us to the station."

Xiao Yuan was stunned. It wasn't until she was led off the car and countless flashes of light were pointed at her that she suddenly realized what was happening and began to struggle violently: "Why are you arresting me? What did I do? I didn't steal the bag, I was just taking the blame for someone else... Ah, ask her!"

Xiao Yuan finally remembered Xiao Ai in the car. Now only Xiao Ai could help her prove her innocence. But when she looked back at Xiao Ai, Xiao Ai just innocently shrugged, indicating that she knew nothing.

Xiao Yuan was initially dazed, and the reporters were worried that there wouldn't be any impactful photos to take. But now that this socialite from a prominent family has been arrested and is openly cursing in the street, she's given us plenty of juicy material!

When Xiao Yuan was dragged into the police car by the police, she looked like a crazy woman.

Today's performance was a duet with Zhou Xiaochuan, followed by an interview. Xiao Ai rushed to the recording studio and looked at Su Wen under the camera. She was fine, smiling naturally. Her makeup was thick, and you couldn't see any trace of bruising on her face. She lied about a small scratch on the corner of her mouth, saying it was from stress and internal heat.

After the recording ended, Xiao Ai went backstage and secretly slipped a ring into Su Wen's hand when no one was around: "You're really generous. You'll be crying if you lose this ring."

Su Wen happily held the ring, carefully wiping it under the light, before putting it back on her left ring finger: "Without this heavyweight evidence, how could we have been caught red-handed?"

"If Young Master Lu finds out, he'll probably be furious." Xiao Ai knew the ring was a gift from Lu Zheng. She was also taken aback when the police took it out, because Su Wen had always treasured the ring and wore it on her hand at all times. She hadn't even seen her take it off.

Even with this "ironclad evidence," the Xiao family's background was simply too powerful. Xiao Ai was a little intimidated by the arrogant manner Xiao Rong's secretary exuded when entering and leaving the police station. Before she, the witness, had even stepped out of the police station, Xiao Yuan had already gotten into her private car and been released on bail.

Su Wen was quite open-minded: "It's just to teach her a lesson." She couldn't afford to really touch Xiao Yuan.

Xiao Rong is no pushover.

Xiao Yuan stood trembling in the large office, her face pale and her hair disheveled. Her secretary brought her tea and then left, carefully closing the heavy double doors behind her.

Xiao Rong's office is located in a prime office building, with 270-degree floor-to-ceiling windows that let in the warm autumn sunlight. Below the windows is a bustling street with cars flowing by, offering an unobstructed view of the vibrant city life – a true glimpse into the bustling world.

Xiao Yuan dared not look up, so she kept her eyes downcast, staring at her feet. It was too high, and her head began to spin. In front of her, Xiao Rong sat behind a large rosewood desk, his starry eyes half-open, as if he couldn't be bothered to look up.

Xiao Yuan felt uneasy and turned to leave, saying, "If there's nothing else, I'll go home now."

*Snap*—the lighter made a crisp, almost imperceptible sound in his hand, yet she abruptly stopped in her tracks.
