Chapter 19: Chapter 19: The Battle Between the CEO and the Policewoman
Zhang Lu drove a police car to appear outside Chu ngyao’s villa, where Xu Hu blocked her path.
Their eyes clashed, emanating an aura of iron-bloodedness that radiated from their bodies, with a force that shook the heart and mind. Both ca from special forces, and the inherent threat ingrained in their bones naturally collided, as if comparing strengths.
A mont later, Xu Hu’s expression shrank as he realized Zhang Lu’s extraordinary nature. At the very least, the sharpness of Zhang Lu’s aura was sothing he couldn’t match. He was a special forces soldier, who had undertaken various dangerous missions, but he knew he could beco even more outstanding, beco a top elite, and execute confidential missions for the country. However, he gave up during the selection process, as he preferred to stay by Chu ngyao’s side. This was the highest mission he had believed in since childhood.
Zhang Lu glanced at Xu Hu with disdain and said, "The military trained you, yet you’re willing to give up such a promising future to co here as a guard. I don’t know what you’re thinking."
Zhang Lu had done so research on Xu Hu. Originally, Xu Hu could have achieved greater accomplishnts, but unfortunately, he gave it all up for a woman. This made Zhang Lu look down on him imnsely.
Not knowing Zhang Lu, Xu Hu adhered to his responsibility as a bodyguard and responded with a question instead, "What are you doing here? This isn’t a place you can just wander into. If the President doesn’t want to see you, you’d better leave early."
Xu Hu stood in Zhang Lu’s way. Even the police wouldn’t dare to intrude on Chu ngyao’s villa.
"Want to spar a bit? You’re no match for , so you’d better drop the idea early." Zhang Lu said indifferently. She didn’t want to get tangled up with Xu Hu, knowing soone like Chu ngyao, a powerful figure in the business world, was not soone she could provoke easily. Therefore, she had already figured out a way to et Chu ngyao. Staring at Xu Hu, she said, "Get in touch with your President and tell them I know Zhao Shiyan."
Zhao Shiyan was one of the few friends of Chu ngyao. Zhang Lu also understood that breaking in would surely displease Chu ngyao, making it impossible to et with her, so she had to find another excuse.
Xu Hu contacted Chu ngyao inside the villa, and after Chu ngyao agreed, he no longer obstructed Zhang Lu.
"Why on earth is she coming to see the President? If I’m not wrong, she’s from a secret departnt. Even if it’s to investigate the Poisonous Spider matter, it shouldn’t concern the President." Xu Hu pondered, staring at the figure as it receded into the distance.
Chu ngyao opened the door and welcod Zhang Lu into the villa.
"Who are you? What’s your business with ?" Chu ngyao got straight to the point. If Zhang Lu hadn’t ntioned Zhao Shiyan, she wouldn’t even have opened the door. She didn’t care about Zhang Lu’s background or identity, usually wouldn’t et people like her.
"I’m not here for you; I’m here for the man behind you." Zhang Lu was straightforward, her eyes burning intensely as they fixed on Ye Fan, disregarding Chu ngyao, the businesswoman, entirely.
Zhang Lu’s disdainful deanor angered Chu ngyao.
"If I’m not mistaken, you’re the mysterious man who took care of those thugs like Ah San, suddenly appearing by Chu ngyao’s side and helping resolve the company’s crisis." Zhang Lu had no evidence, just suspicion.
Before Ye Fan could respond, Chu ngyao, displeased, turned cold-faced, "I’m only eting you because you know Zhao Shiyan; not just any random person gets to scrutinize my friends. As a police officer, your duty is to find the person who subdued the Poisonous Spider hitn and offer them rewards, not to treat my friends like criminals."
Zhang Lu was taken aback. She didn’t expect Chu ngyao to defend a man so strongly and be so assertive, which contradicted what she knew. She had concrete evidence that Ye Fan and Chu ngyao hadn’t known each other long. Otherwise, based on Chu ngyao’s words, she would definitely have thought that Chu ngyao and Ye Fan had been long-term friends.
"President Chu, please don’t harbor such hostility towards . I’m just doing my job impartially, not intending to trouble your friend." Zhang Lu slightly softened her stance, not wanting to escalate things with Chu ngyao without any findings.
"State your business, and if there’s nothing, please leave." Chu ngyao said with a tone that kept people at a distance.
"President Chu, three snipers of the Poisonous Spider have been killed, so you shouldn’t be in any imdiate danger. The internal crisis of Chu Group has brought significant trouble to us in law enforcent. I hope you speak politely; otherwise, don’t bla
for being impolite." Zhang Lu, known as the celebrated police belle, had already been courteous enough to Chu ngyao. She didn’t want a standoff.
She had always been strong-willed but found herself unable to maintain that with Chu ngyao, which frustrated her greatly.
"Punishing wrongdoers is the police’s responsibility. What, should the Chu Group prepare a banner to thank you for your selfless help?" Chu ngyao said sternly and unequivocally, "You want to be impolite? I’d like to see how you plan to do that."
"Don’t push your luck. Considering you’re a defenseless woman, I’ve refrained from arguing with you. You provoke
further, and I’ll hit without hesitation." Zhang Lu’s fiery temper flared. Though she remained calm generally, facing Chu ngyao’s icy presence and sharp retorts left her feeling battered.
"Hit ? Try moving and see what happens?" Chu ngyao challenged with displeasure.
"You..." Zhang Lu pointed at Chu ngyao, her chest heaving with anger. But she couldn’t bring herself to act. If she did, she felt it would be her greatest failure—letting herself lose composure due to a woman’s provocation was a trendous humiliation for her. She’d been through gunfire and bullets countless tis, yet losing to a businesswoman like this enraged her to no end.
Ye Fan could tell, the clash between Chu ngyao and Zhang Lu wasn’t just due to their initial disagreent; both won were locked in a strong-willed battle. Neither would yield, and to lose in intimidation alone seed to imply losing in beauty as well.
When Zhang Lu first entered the villa, she didn’t regard Chu ngyao highly. In her view, Chu ngyao was just a businesswoman, not worth her attention.
This dissatisfaction from Chu ngyao led her to interrupt before Ye Fan even spoke. Her idea was simple: teach a lesson to Zhang Lu, who dared to act grandly in her presence.
After a round of verbal exchange, Zhang Lu fell completely at a disadvantage, her state of mind in disarray.
Chu ngyao erged victorious, her face remained stern like an iceberg, but the pride in her eyes was evident.
"Didn’t expect my underestimation of her to cause such trouble for myself. No wonder she’s deed the top beauty in the circle, truly deserving the title - I was careless." Zhang Lu thought to herself.
"Trying to best ? You should evaluate your own abilities first." Chu ngyao muttered in her heart.
