A few men in suits walked out with a few handcuffed employees of the company.

Uncle Qians face grew pale instantly. He asked, What happened?

After a few seconds of commotion, Su Jianan quickly regained her composure and said, The ones doing the arrest are from the Bureau of Commercial Crime, and the people who have been arrested seem to be the employees from the finance department of the company.

Before Uncle Qian could respond, Su Jianan had already gotten off the car.

What Su Jianan had assumed initially was that she could sneak into the company while the journalists were preoccupied with the arrested employees. But she was only by herself; it was impossible to escape from that many pairs of eyes.

Hey, Mrs. Lu is here!

It was unknown who had first discovered Su Jianan, and not long after she was singled out, Su Jianan was already swarmed by journalists who were bombarding her with all sorts of incisive questions

Mrs. Lu, do you think Mr. Lu will be able to manage this crisis of Lu Enterprises?

Mrs. Lu, tax evasion is a very serious offense. What would you do if Mr. Lu were to be persecuted by the law?

Bureau of Commercial Crime finance department staff tax evasion

Su Jianan did not respond, but was able to make better sense of what had happened from those questions

Lu Enterprises was suspected of tax evasion.

ImpossibleSu Jianan denied any possibility of it subconsciously. She did not believe Lu Boyan would do anything that foolish.

But she was still worried sick. All she wanted was to see Lu Boyan immediately. But she could not break through the crowd of journalists by herself. Furthermore the journalists were asking such harsh questions to force her to voice out

Mrs. Lu, were you aware that Mr. Lu had committed such a crime? Or is it that

No, he did not! Anger took over Su Jianans internal turmoil. Her beautiful peachy eyes turned icy cold in an instant. She coldly stared at the journalist who had raised that question. The whole world can see your news reports. I wish you can take responsibility for your words and writing. Do not malign anyone as you like before the police announces the truth!

But the police were already here. Can you still say that Lu Enterprises is innocent? The journalists were aggressively overbearing.

The police have only began with their investigation for now. How can you jump to conclusions that Lu Enterprises is guilty? Su Jianans hands subconsiously rolled into fists. She said with strong conviction, I trust my husband.

The group of journalists fell into silence. At that moment, Shen Yuechuan brought a few security guards out, quickly escorting Su Jianan away from the surrounding journalists to take the lift straight to the top floor, Didnt I call Uncle Qian to send you back home? Why did you come and get yourself surrounded by journalists?

Su Jianan did not bother to answer him, and asked frantically, Yuechuan, what exactly is the matter?

Shen Yuechuan was momentarily deep in thought, then opened the doors to Lu Boyans office. Jianan, do you trust him?

Su Jianan nodded without hesitation.

That is enough. Su Yicheng gestured Su Jianan to enter. Hes still in a meeting. Wait for him inside. Ill be returning to my work.

After over an hour, Lu Boyan finally returned from his meeting.

His distinct, firm brows were tightly knitted. He undid his necktie the moment he entered his office. His deep gaze was cold, emanating chilling vibes.

Once he saw Su Jianan, he was stunned for a moment before approaching her, Didnt I tell you to go home? Why did you come?

Su Jianan grabbed onto Lu Boyans hand, asking hesitantly, Kang Ruichengis he behind all this?

She believed that Lu Boyan would never do anything unlawful, and she did not believe in Kang Ruicheng.

It was not difficult for her to be reminded of Kang Ruicheng, given that Lu Enterprises had not foreseen that crisis at all, and the things that Kang Ruicheng had told them previously.

Its him, Lu Boyan said, His goal is to destroy Lu Enterprises. This is only his first step.

Su Jianans grip on Lu Boyan grew tighter subconsciously. Her gaze was somewhat empty as she said, I believe in you. But can you tell me, did the company really?

Jianan, Lu Boyan urged Su Jianan to sit down. You may not be able to understand if I told you certain things. But since you believe in me, then trust that I can manage this well. Lu Enterprises wont be brought down by such insignificant underhanded means.

The emptiness in Su Jianans eyes were gradually replaced by affirmation. She nodded, Ill accompany you to work overtime.

Lu Boyan took his coffee mug out, and petted Su Jianans hair, Help me make a cup of coffee.

Ok.

With the coffee mug in her hand, when Su Jianan passed by the secretary and assistant offices, she saw that everyone was in a chaos. The cacophony of typing on the keyboard and ringing phones was endless. Daisy was so frustrated that she ended up yelling at the phone which had been unplugged,

Tax evasion my foot! Do you idiots even know how much investment Lu Enterprises deal with everyday? Do we need to steal such an insignificant amount of tax!?

It must had been exhausting for her to handle the media politely, yet she had no choice to keep doing soand so she ended up venting her frustration over an unplugged phone.

Su Jianan walked over, and casually grabbed Daisys empty coffee mug, Im going to make coffee. Do you want some?

Daisy was stunned, then plugged the telephone wire back. As expected, the phone started ringing again, and her shoulders sloped in defeat. But very quickly, she picked up a smile again, and said endearingly to Su Jianan, Please add double servings of sugar. Thank you, Mrs. Then picked up the call, and continued responding to the media in the same tone.

Su Jianan smiled, and went to make two pots of coffee, then sent them respectively to the secretary and the assistant offices. She finally brought the two cups of coffee back. Daisy was still on the phone, and mouthed a thank you. Su Jianan simply smiled back, and took Lu Boyans cup of coffee back to the office.

He was so busy he did not even have the time to look up. He said, I dont know for how long Ill be staying. Let Uncle Qian send you back home to rest, alright?

Su Jianan placed the cup of coffee within his reach. She replied, I want to stay with you. Even though I cant offer much help, I guarantee that I wont get in your way!

With her determined expression, Lu Boyan knew it would be impossible to dissuade her, so he just gave in to her. How about you help us place an order for food delivery? The entire office has to work overtime tonight.

Su Jianan thought for a while, then ran off to the lounge to make a call.

She meant what she had promisedshe did not disrupt Lu Boyan at all. Whenever someone came to talk to him, she would be hiding in the lounge. Only after the subordinate had left, she would quietly return to the office, and helped him to tidy up the documents on the table, or poured him a cup of water.

The skies had turned completely dark at about seven oclock. When Su Jianan was starting to feel hungry, there was a knocking on the door. She went to open, and it was indeed Aunt Liu.

Aunt Liu handed Su Jianan a thermal lunchbox, Young Madam, this is Young Masters and your dinner. Old Qian brought Mr. Shen, the other secretaries and assistants dinner to the small conference room. Theyve started eating, and wish to give you their thanks.

Su Jianan only smiled, and took the lunchbox back to the office. She knocked on Lu Boyans table, saying, Mr. Lu, its time to eat.

Lu Boyan had overheard what Aunt Liu had said earlier on, and knew what Su Jianan was going to do. He took her hand and led her to the sofa, Mrs. Lu, are you trying to conduct a bribery?

Correct! Su Jianan said blatantly. You spend one third or more of the day in the office, in contact with all sorts of beauties. I would definitely need to bribe a few people to become my informers!

Lu Boyan helped Su Jianan take the food out of the thermal lunchbox. He said, Let me remind you, Daisys the easiest target.

Oh, Su Jianan said, then said proudly yet with great composure. Im already close to buying Daisy over!

Lu Boyan,

After finishing dinner, Lu Boyan barely had the time to digest before diving back into work. He ended up working until 11p.m.

When he finally realized, and looked towards the sofa area, indeedSu Jianan had fallen asleep on the sofa, hugging onto her tablet tightly, seemingly worried that her tablet would fall and disturb him.

He got up, walked over and carried Su Jianan to the lounge.

The small room was sufficiently warm, the bed was already warm and comfortable. Lu Boyan placed Su Jianan on the bed, and she habitually snuggled under the blanket, pulling onto his shirt, unwilling to let gojust as she had always done when she was asleep.

He carefully plucked her slender fingers off, then tucked her properly in bed; then heard his phone rang in the office outside.

Worried that it would wake Su Jianan up, Lu Boyan walked swiftly to get his phone. When he saw the number displayed on the screen, his gaze grew cold in a flash, but picked up the call in the end.

This is the first big present I gift to you. Kang Ruichengs chilly voice pierced through Lu Boyans ear drum like a gust of cold wind. Do you like it, Boss Lu?

Do you think youll be able to take down Lu Enterprises just by getting the police to investigate on Lu Enterprises taxation? Lu Boyans voice contained a sense of sarcasm. Kang Ruicheng, how naive have you become with age?

Bouts of Kang Ruichengs laughter could be heard from the other end of the call. If your Lu Enterprises were that weak, how would you be fitting of being my opponent in the first place? Dont worry, getting the police and tax bureau to investigate you is just the appetizer. The main course is still to come. Guess what Ive prepared for you?

Lu Boyan placed his phone on the table forcefully.

He had no idea what Kang Ruicheng would do to Lu Enterprises next.

But he knew, Kang Ruichengs ultimate goal was Su Jianan, and that was the main course he had referred to.

After calming down, Lu Boyan dialed to Mu Sijue on the phone and asked, How is the investigation?

Ive sent out all available manpower and exhausted all means. It is still in progress, Mu Sijue said, Kang Ruichengs slyness is comparable to Kang Chengtian. He cleansed his records before returning to the country. Even the Interpol could do nothing about him. It would take some time to collect evidence of his crime The crisis with Lu Enterprises today, was it his doing?

Lu Boyan confirmed with his silence.

Mu Sijue asked, Is it troublesome?

The police is been involved. The investigation will take some time, Lu Boyan said, I clearly know the situation of Lu Enterprises. Its not problematic, but the investigation period would have a negative effect on the company.

So this is Kang Ruichengs goal?

No. In the darkness, Lu Boyans jet black eyes were deep like a starless and moonless night sky. He will surely be doing more.
