CHAPTER 158: CHAPTER 158: PREMEDITATED MURDER

Afterward, Xia Mian began processing the documents submitted by the subordinates.

Xia Mian processed the documents very quickly, almost at a glance, and in just one hour, she had completed all the documents that had accumulated over a week.

Song Juan casually flipped through one of the files and found that Xia Mian’s way of handling things was more suitable and could maximize the company’s interests better than hers.

Song Juan looked up at Xia Mian and said with a relieved smile, "Mianmian, you’re amazing! You finished all the documents for mom so quickly and so well!"

Xia Mian smiled faintly, "Helping mom is what I should do."

While Xia Mian was talking to Song Juan, Lu Zechuan’s phone call came through.

Although it had only been half a day since he last saw her, Lu Zechuan felt like he had lost something, feeling restless all over.

It wasn’t until he heard Xia Mian’s voice that Lu Zechuan’s restless heart began to calm down.

"What’s up?" Xia Mian asked softly.

As she spoke, she went to the floor-to-ceiling window, avoiding Song Juan.

Lu Zechuan was silent for a while before his magnetic voice said, "I just wanted to hear your voice."

Nothing in particular, just wanted to hear Xia Mian’s voice, to confirm that she wasn’t far from him.

Xia Mian was amused by Lu Zechuan’s childish behavior, "Honestly, we’ve only been apart for half a day."

Lu Zechuan chuckled, "Are you disdaining me?"

Xia Mian rolled her eyes, childish ghost.

"I want to have dinner with you. I’ll pick you up in a while, okay?" Lu Zechuan didn’t give Xia Mian a chance to refuse, "I’m a bit busy here, I’ll hang up first, talk to you tonight!"

Xia Mian stared at the black screen of the phone, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

From a pretend girlfriend to a real girlfriend, dating should be normal, right?

Why does it feel like they’re sneaking around with Lu Zechuan?

"Is it that boy from the Lu Family?" Song Juan sat in the office chair, looking at Xia Mian with eyes that saw through everything.

Xia Mian responded with a hum.

"Go ahead!" Song Juan waved her hand, "There’s nothing much here, no need for you to keep watching over."

She’s been through it herself, the emotional stirrings between young people, she’s experienced it. She can’t stop them from going on a date.

Xia Mian pressed her lips. After the recent missing incident, she realized she had overlooked a lot about Song Juan.

She thought freeing Song Juan from Xia Jianguo would be perfect, and Song Juan would stay with her forever.

But, the joys and sorrows of the human world don’t follow the script!

Just like Yu Hongmei, who could have thought she’d lose her life just from a fall down the stairs?

"Mom, Lu Zechuan and I went to find Fu Zhou this time and brought back two people skilled in Taoist Techniques. Later, I’ll have one of them stay with you." Xia Mian sat on the desk, smiling at Song Juan.

Song Juan didn’t refuse.

Recently, the events have been increasingly bizarre, and aside from Xuanxue, no one can explain them clearly.

So, Xia Mian arranging for a Daoist to stay by her side, she did not object.

The time quickly reached evening, and Lu Zechuan couldn’t wait to come to Song Group to pick up Xia Mian.

Wanting to enjoy their time alone, Lu Zechuan especially did not bring anyone from Shu Dao Mountain or Shu Dao Temple.

When Xia Mian received Lu Zechuan’s call and went downstairs, she saw Lu Zechuan’s car parked under the Song Group building, with the window partially rolled down, revealing Lu Zechuan’s sharp and excessively handsome face.

The evening glow shone on his face, as if giving him a mysterious halo.

The more Xia Mian looked, the more pleasing it appeared, a smile inadvertently curling at her lips and brows.

Xia Mian stepped forward, walking towards Lu Zechuan’s car.

She had just taken a step when her ear twitched, suddenly hearing the engine of a car starting behind her and the roar of an accelerator.

Xia Mian’s body reacted faster than her brain, quickly stepping back.

At the moment she stepped back, a yellow supercar zoomed past in front of her!

Xia Mian’s face immediately darkened.

Upon realizing it hadn’t hit its target, the car quickly switched to reverse, aimed at Xia Mian, and rushed towards her again!

Lu Zechuan, waiting for Xia Mian to get in the car, didn’t expect an assailant to suddenly appear, aggressive and with every movement targeting Xia Mian’s life!

Lu Zechuan’s face hardened, not waiting for the car to hit Xia Mian, he started his car first, crashing into the yellow sports car!

Lu Zechuan was driving a modified off-road vehicle, powerful and sturdy. With the collision, the entire front of the yellow sports car crumpled, the hood started emitting thick black smoke.

The airbag in the driver’s seat deployed, obscuring the driver’s face.

Lu Zechuan opened the car door, stepped out, and despite the car smoking, not caring about any potential danger, strode towards the wrecked yellow sports car.

The driver-side glass was shattered, and the car door was deformed.

Lu Zechuan kicked the car door, which was already hanging on by a thread, knocking it off with his foot.

The driver tumbled out of the car.

Lu Zechuan looked down at the person, his face instantly becoming extremely grim!

It was Wu Yong, Wu Mei’s own nephew.

Xia Mian disregarded whether the person on the ground was dead or alive, running to Lu Zechuan’s car, opening the trunk to retrieve a fire extinguisher.

The engine hood of the yellow car was smoking and could potentially explode. She didn’t care if the car exploded or if the driver died, but if the car exploded underneath the Song Group building, it would affect the building and the passersby and vehicles!

The driver of the yellow car deserved to die, but innocent people shouldn’t be harmed!

Xia Mian opened the fire extinguisher and sprayed it over the engine hood.

Finally, she neutralized the hidden danger.

The previously groggy Wu Yong on the ground slowly opened his eyes, seeing Xia Mian and Lu Zechuan, his eyes filled with deep resentment.

"Why don’t you just die! You bitch, it’s all your fault I’m like this!" Wu Yong’s eyes were bloodshot, his face covered with blood from the crash, making him look fierce and malicious.

Lu Zechuan said nothing, taking a step forward, kicking Wu Yong over onto the ground, then kicking him over and over like raindrops.

Wu Yong was kicked into a daze and within ten minutes was covered in blood!

He held his head with both hands, screaming incessantly, "Lu Zechuan, you bastard! Stop!"

Lu Zechuan didn’t stop but kicked even harder.

This bastard Wu Yong actually dared to try to ram Xia Mian with a car!!

Truly tired of living!

The commotion quickly attracted the attention of the Song Group’s security personnel, a group of security guards rushed over, wanting to intervene when they saw the situation.

This was, after all, at the entrance of the Song Group, causing a death here would be bad.
