Lu Chuliang did not know what to say. 'Just you wait!'

Fu Zhi hung up the phone, then turned to look at him. In an impassive voice, she asked, "I suppose you don't need me to teach you what to say to the police, right?"

Lu Chuliang wanted to say something in return, but unfortunately, his current condition did not permit him to do so. He opened his eyes weakly and met Fu Zhi's emotionless gaze.

She was not as terrible as Lu Chuwan had described her to be. She did not put on light make-up as Lu Chuwan did, and even though she was holding a wooden bat right now, she still looked very charming with her delicate face and beautiful eyes.

'Her eyes are so beautiful.'

Lu Chuliang felt that something must have gone wrong in his head after he was hit. He pressed down the strange thoughts in his heart and snarled, "I, I will tell the truth!"

Fu Zhi swung the wooden bat, and a gust of wind whistled in the air. Then, she said, "I think now you know what you should tell the police."

Lu Chuliang's heart skipped a beat. His eyes then rolled backward, and he passed out.

By the time Bai Yao arrived at the police station, Lu Chuliang was in the visitation room, and his hands were cuffed.

"What happened? Who beat you?"

Bai Yao was nervous. After all, Lu Chuliang was her only son.

The corner of Lu Chuliang's lips twitched. Just as he was about to tell his mother everything, Fu Zhi's image appeared in his head, causing him to swallow the words on the tip of his tongue back into his stomach pit. He thought for a moment, and in the end, he said, "It was Zhao Cheng and his friends."

"Why did they beat you?"

"Alright, stop asking questions. It's none of your business. Just mind your own beeswax. Can we go now? I want to go home and take a bath."

Bai Yao was infuriated with Lu Chuliang's attitude. She bailed him out of the police station and then took him home.

The next day was a Monday.

Fu Zhi was still sleeping, while Gu Yan was eating breakfast in the living room.

When Xu Wei and Lu Yumo came downstairs, they saw Gu Yan sitting in Fu Zhi's chair.

"Gu Yan!" Lu Yumo called out to her with a frown.

"Yeah? Anything wrong?"

Gu Yan had a domineering demeanor and a bossy sort of voice Lu Yumo did not like.

"Yanyan, that chair belongs to Zhizhi. She doesn't like people touching it," Xu Wei said awkwardly as she tugged at Lu Yumo's sleeve.

Gu Yan frowned. "I saw it here, so I just sat on it. Besides, isn't a chair here for people to sit?"

This position was nearest to Lu Yushen when he was eating. It had also been Gu Yan's exclusive seat whenever she'd come to the Lu Family for dinner since she was a child.

Therefore, Gu Yan did not quite understand what Xu Wei was talking about.

Xu Wei did not want Gu Yan to misunderstand anything, so she explained, "This is the chair Zhizhi's second brother bought for her when she injured her tailbone. She usually cleans the chair herself and doesn't allow any one of us to touch it. If you like it, I will buy another one for you. I think it will arrive by tomorrow."

Gu Yan felt that this had nothing to do with the chair. Lu Yushen was the reason she had come to see the Lu Family.
