Chapter 896: Chapter 462:

And Lu Zheng heard Jiang Bei agree and signaled her to hang up.

“I’ll send you the location in a bit, then we can talk.”

Once the call ended, Lu He breathed a sigh of relief.

She looked coldly at Lu Zheng, “Is this alright now?”

Lu Zheng nodded in satisfaction, but his glance was lecherous.

“I didn’t expect your skills in bed were so impressive that you could tame Jiang Bei, who’s known to be impenetrable?”

Lu He sneered at his disdainful tone, “Compared to someone who would sell his own niece out of selfishness and ruthlessness, I feel much more noble.”

Lu Zheng was instantly enraged and slapped Lu He directly.

“Did I tell you to speak? A lowly woman still dares to argue here.”

The two slaps from Lu Zheng left red marks on her originally fair face.

Lu He endured it; she couldn’t provoke the madman in front of her.

She had to wait for Jiang Bei to come and rescue her.

Lu Zheng untied Lu He and handed her the phone, “Send this address to Jiang Bei and tell him to come alone.”

Lu He looked at the information on the phone, praying Jiang Bei would realize something was wrong soon.

At the company, Jiang Bei’s face was dark.

He knew Lu He was in trouble.

Jiang Bei had two phones, one for work and one for personal life.

He had a strict rule: unless absolutely necessary, no one could call his work phone.

Yet Lu He called that phone today, so he knew it wasn’t simple.

“Dingdong.”

A message notification sounded.

He glanced coldly at the message.

This confirmed his suspicion that something was wrong.

To come alone?

Jiang Bei thought for a moment, then turned and left the company, driving directly to the specified location.

In less than half an hour, Jiang Bei arrived at a villa in the suburbs.

The villa was remote, seldom visited by anyone.

As he took a step forward, he saw Lu Zheng eagerly waiting at the door.

“Assistant Jiang, please come this way.”

When Jiang Bei saw it wasn’t Lu He who came to greet him, more of his suspicions were confirmed.

He followed Lu Zheng into the villa’s hall.

The hall had only simple furniture, unlike the luxurious grandeur of other homes.

Or rather, it didn’t look like a place anyone lived, as it was covered in dust.

He couldn’t understand why Lu He sent this address.

Lu Zheng looked at the visitor darkly, a trace of slyness in his eyes.

“My niece really gave you trouble. I should’ve picked a better place when I invited you, but inconveniently, I could only trouble you to come here.”

Jiang Bei spoke coldly, “Where is Lu He?”

“You want to see her? Fine, hand over the evidence of my embezzlement in your possession, and I’ll let you meet.”

Jiang Bei couldn’t stand being threatened, so he chuckled coldly, “You think you can threaten me?”

“Hehe—unless you want something to happen to Lu He? Aren’t you worried about her?”

Jiang Bei tilted his head, seemingly indifferent, “You think just a woman can threaten me?”

Maliciously, Lu Zheng pulled out a videotape and threw it in front of Jiang Bei.

“This is the tape I got from the club. I suppose Assistant Jiang knows what’s inside?”

Hearing that, murderous intent surged in Jiang Bei’s heart.

This guy actually has a tape from that night!

Lu Zheng looked at the silent man and crossed his legs proudly in front of Jiang Bei.

“You know, if this tape gets out, everyone in City A will know our noble Assistant Jiang’s private life is in chaos. Let’s see if Rong Qingze will still keep you around?”

Jiang Bei’s eyes flashed with a bloodthirsty chill, “What do you want to do?”

“It’s simple. Give me the evidence of my company’s embezzlement, and I’ll give you this.”

Jiang Bei, originally leaning, straightened his posture and stepped closer to Lu Zheng, “You think this can threaten me?”

Lu Zheng saw the approaching man, and his confidence wavered.

“You know, no one has ever been able to threaten me. If people found out a dignified project manager forced his niece into such deeds, I’d like to see whose loss is greater?”

Panicking, Lu Zheng remembered he had another play.

He pulled out his phone, showing a video in front of Jiang Bei.

Jiang Bei saw Lu He tied hand and foot in a room.

His expression darkened, “What have you done to her?”

Lu Zheng arrogantly touched his jade bracelet and grinned evilly.

“Nothing much. Weren’t you so worried about her? Don’t you want to rescue her?”

Lu Zheng clapped his hands twice, and a few burly men appeared in the hall.

Jiang Bei, realizing he walked into a trap, steeled himself.

“If the soft approach doesn’t work, now it’s the hard way. I offered you wine, but you refuse, wanting a forfeit instead!”

Lu Zheng signaled to have him restrained.

But Jiang Bei calmly adjusted his glasses, a cryptic smile appearing on his lips.

“So this is the game you want to play!”

Seeing no fear in the man, Lu Zheng grew more anxious.

“Tie him up. I refuse to believe I can’t handle this one!”

Jiang Bei watched Lu Zheng with a look as if he were looking at an idiot.

“You really think I’m unprepared?”

Jiang Bei sneered, and over a dozen undercover police officers rushed in from outside.

Lu Zheng saw them and was instantly filled with fear, trying to escape from the sofa.

Jiang Bei stepped forward, pressing down on his shoulder with a fierce gaze like a demon.

“Trying to leave? I told you, I can’t stand threats.”

Lu Zheng was about to speak when a dislocating sound came from his shoulder.

Only then did he realize this guy dislocated his arm.

Looking at this demon, Lu Zheng was filled with dread.

“Assistant Jiang, have mercy on me!”

There’s no way Jiang Bei would give Lu Zheng a chance; he promptly dislocated the man’s other arm.

“Don’t worry, I’ll send you to hell, so you can experience a fate worse than death.”

Before Lu Zheng could kneel and beg for mercy, the police had already restrained his hands from behind.

He directly knelt before Jiang Bei, instantly bursting into tears, “Please, save me! I didn’t mean to.”

“You didn’t mean to, and you think I’d believe your nonsense?”

“Just spare me once, for Lu He’s sake, as she’s my niece.”

Hearing Lu He’s name, Jiang Bei advanced step by step.
