Chapter 39: Take the Witness Away

Zhou Feng readily agreed.

After the two of them got into the car, he asked curiously, “Li Xiaomei—I remember that she was in the Chinese Medical Academy, right? Didn’t Lu Yaohua get someone to monitor her? She’s the only witness.”

“Of course, I had arranged for someone to watch over her. That was why I made arrangements for her transfer. Lu Yaohua’s people won’t dare to do anything in front of everyone.”

Even if they dared to make a move, they could not beat Lu Ming’s subordinates.

Zhou Feng seemed to have thought of something. He asked, “You and Lu Yaohua both have the surname Lu. Are you two related?”

“Sometimes, even if we’re father and son, we’re not related… I’ve already cut ties with him.”

Hearing this, Zhou Feng recalled the news from a few years ago.

Both of them fell into deep thought.

After a while, the car stopped at the entrance of the hospital.

Lu Ming walked over to the security guard who quickly bowed. “Hello, CEO Lu.”

He nodded slightly and walked straight into the hospital.

It was Zhou Feng’s first time at the hospital, but he had often heard its name. He said in astonishment, “You’re actually the CEO of This Place Hospital?!”

“Is there a problem?”

Lu Ming asked calmly.

Zhou Feng gazed at him as if he was looking at some rare treasure. He sighed and said, “You can’t be a rich second-generation heir abandoned by some big family, right? Based on what I know now, your net worth is definitely over 100 million yuan, right?”

“Perhaps.”

In fact, Lu Ming did not know how much his businesses were worth.

One after the other, they stepped into the elevator and arrived at the leftmost side of the eighth floor.

After he turned the door handle, he saw Chen Ziqiu. When she saw him, she bowed respectfully and said, “CEO Lu, this lady hasn’t regained consciousness since she came over. We’ve also done a physical examination, and all the indicators are within the normal range.”

Lu Ming walked forward. The young girl on the bed looked about seventeen or eighteen years old. She looked delicate and pretty, but her face was sickly pale.

“Li Xiaomei, right? Stop pretending. Wake up.”

He had learned this from Zhou Lu. He was quite familiar with faked unconsciousness.

Li Xiaomei’s breathing became erratic for a few seconds, but she quickly regained her usual frequency.

Zhou Feng asked curiously, “Could she have already regained consciousness? That’s impossible. Can a normal person pretend for so long?”

“If she woke up, she would probably be with her dead family now.”

Lu Ming did not think that Lu Yaohua would spare her life. Even if he wanted to, Tang Wenyi would not have agreed.

Li Xiaomei opened her eyes and looked at them warily. She asked, “Who are you? Why did you bring me here? What are your motives?”

“Oh my, she is really conscious.”

Zhou Feng said in surprise, with his hands in his pockets.

Lu Ming said bluntly, “Do you want to bite back at the Lu Corporation and avenge your family?”

“Why should I believe you?”

Li Xiaomei questioned.

“If this is just Lu Yaohua’s scheme, wouldn’t I be finished?” she thought.

She was not a child and would not be easily fooled by this person!

Lu Ming seemed to have found his past self in her. He was lonely and only wanted revenge.

He sighed softly in his heart and said, “My name is Lu Ming. I am also enemies with Lu Yaohua. My goal is to destroy the Lu Corporation. We have the same goal. Are you interested in working with me?”

“Lu Ming?” she thought.

Li Xiaomei had seen this name before when she was investigating the Lu Corporation.

Lu Yaohua’s ex-wife’s son.

After some hesitation, she asked, “What do you need me to do?”

“I will publish your father’s matter in the newspaper, and you will be the witness.”

Lu Ming said, “When the time comes, you might be in danger again. However, I will try my best to get people to protect you. Are you willing?”

He thought that it did not matter even if she was unwilling. It was human nature to be afraid of death.

He did not say this out loud because…

“I’m willing!”

Li Xiaomei grabbed the bedsheets tightly and said, “As long as Lu Yaohua is punished, I’m willing to give up my life!”

Lu Ming curled the corners of his lips. “I will let you live well.”

Zhou Feng asked softly, “No newspaper is willing to offend the Lu Corporation. Who is willing to publish this?”

“Of course, Metropolitan.”

He answered matter-of-factly.

Zhou Feng widened his eyes. “Could it be that even Metropolitan Daily… is yours?”

Lu Ming did not deny it. “Is there a problem?”

It was better for his own news agency to publish this matter. Furthermore, this kind of public announcement was beneficial for their reputation.

So this matter was decided.

Meanwhile.

Lu Yaohua and the other two were sent to the hospital not long ago.

He had just woken when his phone rang. He said impatiently, “What is it? You’d better have enough reasons to convince me!”

The person on the other end panted heavily and said, “Chairman, Chairman Lu, Li Xiaomei has been transferred to another hospital!”

“Transferred?!”

Lu Yaohua sat on the bed and said, “Impossible! Li Xiaomei’s family is dead. Who arranged for her to be transferred?”

If Li Xiaomei woke up and spread the news about the construction site, the reputation of the Lu Corporation would definitely be damaged!

“Yes, This Place Hospital!”

This Place Hospital!

Lu Yaohua tightened his grip on his phone, as if it would be scrapped the next second.

It was Lu Ming!

He wondered how Lu Ming knew about the construction site incident.

“Could it be…” he thought.

He wondered if he had really been seen by the other party.

Suddenly, he felt a chill down his spine.

“Why didn’t you stop him!?”

The other party said helplessly, “We couldn’t stop them at all. They seemed to be prepared.”

It was over!

If word got out, Lu Yaohua would be labeled as a murderer.

Without thinking too much, he immediately hung up and called the hospital.

At this moment, Lu Ming was looking down from his office. Zhou Feng was taking a walk with Li Xiaomei.

Chen Ziqiu picked up the call and said a few seconds later, “CEO, it’s Lu Yaohua. Do you want to answer?”

“Was he finally anxious?” Lu Ming thought.

He took the phone.

“Did you take Li Xiaomei away?”

The voice in the receiver sounded a little depressed.

“Yes, is there a problem?”

A pleading voice came from the other side of the phone. “Can you not spread this news? I’m begging you. I shouldn’t have done those things to you. Please let me off.”

It was rare for Lu Yaohua to lower himself.

Lu Ming sneered. “Mom said this to you before. I remember that you said… get lost? You should be very familiar with killing and arson, right? Who can you blame for your own sins?”

He paused for a moment before continuing. “I’ve already promised Li Xiaomei that I’ll seek justice for her. Just wait to be embroiled in the controversy!”

Soon the sound of glass shattering could be heard from the other end.
