On your wedding night, stay with your godbrother; the Empress is practically throwing herself at you

at this time.

Su Nantian is under a lot of pressure.

That person's identity remains unknown. What if he has been recruited by other forces?

especially……

What if I offend him?

Therefore, he was eager to find out who Lu Chuan really was.

In that case, going to the law enforcement team to compare information should have started long ago.

It was all because of Su Yan's instructions.

The genius from southern Jiangsu has been delayed until now.

Mentioning Su Yan made Su Nantian's emotions even more complicated.

My son has changed.

He originally thought his son had escaped death in the hospital, but he never expected that the secret Su Yan told him would be earth-shattering.

Disciple of the leader of the demonic path.

He's now the leader's disciple?!

Furthermore, his cultivation level also advanced by leaps and bounds, directly reaching the four-star Martial Spirit realm.

Who killed the leader of the demonic path?

It's that white-robed martial saint.

This means that the white-robed martial saint's lineage and the leader of the demonic path are enemies.

So what does he need to do now?

Naturally, the son should help eliminate the other party.

Therefore, he is now even more anxious.

"Secretary Liu."

Su Nantian said in a deep voice,

"Go to the enforcement team right now."

Liu Ruyan was packing her bag when she heard this and paused for a moment.

She glanced subconsciously at the clock on the wall.

It's 6:05.

I've already finished get off work.

Moreover, she has a very important matter to attend to tonight.

That was an opportunity she had begged for a long time to get; Lu Chuan agreed to accompany her to her parents' home for dinner.

This meal was very important to her.

This was her last straw to save her marriage; she couldn't afford to make any mistakes.

"President..."

Liu Ruyan bit her lip, somewhat embarrassed.

"I'm off work now, and there's an emergency at home tonight..."

"Is it urgent?"

Su Nantian spoke softly.

"Secretary Liu, I know you've had a lot going on at home lately, but this concerns the future of our Nancheng Martial Arts."

"This photo was a clue that was hard to obtain."

"I don't trust anyone else but you."

"If you feel you can't handle it, or if family matters are too important, fine, I'll call HR right now and have them come over. You can focus on taking care of things at home from now on and don't need to come back."

That's too harsh a statement.

It's a direct threat to your livelihood.

Liu Ruyan shuddered, her face instantly turning pale.

Resign?

She hesitated when Lu Chuan asked her to resign yesterday.

Now that Su Nantian is threatening her with his resignation, she's scared.

This job is something she worked so hard for all these years to get. It's glamorous and respected. If she loses it because of this, what will she do in the future?

"No...no problem."

Liu Ruyan could only take a deep breath and say,

"Don't worry, President, I'll go right now."

She reached out and took the photo. The person in the photo was very thin, but for some reason, she felt that he was somewhat familiar.

But he couldn't quite recall who it was.

"A comparison with the database should reveal his identity."

Su Nantian waved his hand.

"Go."

Liu Ruyan dared not say anything more, grabbed the photo, and turned to leave.

He left the office.

She then realized that a layer of cold sweat had broken out on her back.

As she hurried toward the elevator, she frantically pulled her phone out of her bag.

I need to call Lu Chuan right away.

Please don't get angry.

Don't let this deter you from going.

……

Yunhua Residential Area.

The room was quiet.

Lu Chuan sat cross-legged on the bed with his eyes closed.

He didn't have that violent aura; instead, he had a gentle, jade-like quality.

If you look closely...

You can tell that his breathing is very rhythmic.

With each breath, it seemed as if two extremely faint streams of air entered his nostrils.

The Art of Sword Forging and Soul Nourishment.

With his extraordinary comprehension, he has now been completely improved by Lu Chuan.

The original cultivation method emphasized treating the soul as a sword embryo, using the primordial energy of heaven and earth to forge and hone it.

It's powerful, but too easy to break.

Lu Chuan understood the principle that excessive rigidity leads to breakage.

So he spent most of the day trying to incorporate a tenacious spirit into this extremely masculine and powerful martial art.

The current cultivation method should be called the Yin-Yang Soul Forging Scripture.

The soul is as still as water.

It can transform into solid ice to pierce everything, and it can also transform into flowing water to embrace all things.

Life is endless and continuous.

"call……"

Lu Chuan slowly exhaled a breath of stale air and opened his eyes.

A glint of light seemed to flash deep in his eyes before quickly disappearing, and he returned to his usual calm.

Just then.

My phone on the bedside table vibrated.

Lu Chuan picked it up and took a look.

Liu Ruyan.

He raised an eyebrow slightly and pressed the answer button.

"Feed?"

On the other end of the phone, Liu Ruyan's voice came through, sounding urgent and with a hint of cautious flattery.

"Honey, um..."

"Dinner might be a little late tonight."

"What's wrong?"

Lu Chuan spoke in a flat tone.

"The chairman suddenly assigned me an urgent task, insisting that I go to the enforcement team right now."

Liu Ruyan quickly explained, fearing that Lu Chuan would misunderstand.

"Don't be angry, I'll come back to pick you up as soon as I'm done."

"Really, very fast!"

Lu Chuan held his phone, his expression calm.

angry?

Why get angry?

In the past, he might have felt disappointed.

I think that in Liu Ruyan's heart, work is always more important than him.

But now, he felt nothing at all.

I even found it a little funny.

Who gave her the confidence to think she would get angry?

"OK."

Lu Chuan casually replied,

"Then you go ahead and do your work. We'll talk about it when you're done."

"Honey, you're so good to me!"

Liu Ruyan breathed a sigh of relief on the other end, her tone light and cheerful.

"Then wait for me at home, tidy up a bit, and we'll meet at the entrance of the complex."

"Um."

Lu Chuan hung up the phone immediately.

He casually tossed his phone aside before standing up to stretch his neck.

It's okay if it's later.

Anyway, we'll finish this meal.

Everyone went their separate ways.

What difference does it make if it's a little earlier or a little later?

……

At the foot of the Martial Arts Association building.

After a day of emergency treatment.

Basic transportation in the southern part of the city has been almost completely restored.

As a result, the roads have become busy with traffic again, especially now that it's rush hour.

Liu Ruyan stood by the roadside, anxiously stamping her feet.

I couldn't flag down a car for quite a while.

What about ride-hailing services?

There were still more than a dozen people ahead of me in line.

She could understand that, after all, traffic in the southern part of the city was completely paralyzed today, and many people's cars were broken.

Then we'll have to take a taxi.

only……

If I wait until it's my turn, it'll be too late.

Just then, a black sedan slowly stopped in front of Liu Ruyan.

The car window rolled down, revealing Su Yan's face.

"Sister Ruyan?"

Su Yan seemed somewhat surprised.

"It's so late, why haven't you left yet?"

"Can't you get a taxi?"

Liu Ruyan, however, felt as if she had seen a savior.

"Brother Xiaoyan?"

What are you doing here?

"Didn't you go back to rest?"

"I couldn't sleep when I got home, so I thought I'd go out and have some fun. I don't know how I ended up here."

Su Yan smiled and pointed to the passenger seat.

"Sister Ruyan."

Are you going home?

"It'll probably be hard to get a taxi today, how about I give you a ride?"
