Early the next morning, Lu Yu got up very early. Since Meng Yue was on vacation, he didn't need to drive her to work and went straight to the front of the Victory Group.

Looking at the familiar office building in front of him, Lu Yu smiled, then he walked directly into the lobby, looked at the security guard at the door, and said, "Has the CEO arrived yet?"

"Reporting, boss! The CEO has already been here for half an hour!"

Hearing Lu Yu's words, the security guard responded with a tone full of respect, clearly showing great admiration for Lu Yu.

She's been here for half an hour.

Hearing this, Lu Yu couldn't help but smile.

Just now, Lu Yu was pondering whether to wait a little while before discussing the matter with Leng Qingqiu. After all, it wasn't very appropriate to make things tense with Leng Qingqiu first thing in the morning.

But now, it was perfect. Leng Qingqiu had already been here for half an hour, and her mood should be relatively stable. This was a good opportunity to have a proper chat with her.

"Alright, got it, carry on with your work."

With that thought, Lu Yu patted the security guard's shoulder and walked into the elevator, heading straight for the top floor CEO's office.

Once he reached the top floor, Lu Yu headed directly to Leng Qingqiu's office without any hesitation.

At this moment, Leng Qingqiu was wearing a formal light blue dress, her slender arms crossed in front of her chest. Her beautiful and stern face showed a slight frown, clearly deep in thought.

In fact, after hearing Lu Yu's words yesterday, Leng Qingqiu had spent some time pondering them deeply.

Moreover, she had listed out all the possible scenarios that might occur, but in the end, none of them had satisfactory outcomes.

Leng Qingqiu really couldn't figure out why Lu Yu was warning her. It was just an investigation of an uninhabited island. Why was Lu Yu's reaction so intense?

While Leng Qingqiu was deeply puzzled, Lu Yu walked in with big strides, standing in front of her desk, and stated bluntly, "I have something to discuss with you."

Lu Yu's words were very direct, without any beating around the bush.

"What do you want to discuss with me?"

Hearing Lu Yu's words, Leng Qingqiu frowned slightly and spoke with a tone that felt like it was pushing people away.

Upon hearing Leng Qingqiu's response, Lu Yu paused briefly, then spoke sincerely, "I hope you can stop investigating the shadow area on the satellite map!"

Lu Yu's words were firm and serious, without any hint of joking.

"Give me a reason."

Upon hearing Lu Yu's words, Leng Qingqiu spoke softly, her voice clear and cold, devoid of any emotional fluctuation.

"Continuing the investigation will be extremely dangerous for you!"

Hearing this, Lu Yu spoke firmly, "We've known each other for a long time. Even if you don't like me, I still advise you: investigating that place brings you no benefit!"

Seeing Lu Yu's attitude, Leng Qingqiu was quite surprised. To know that she had only seen Lu Yu this serious and solemn on three occasions in her entire life!

The first time she saw Lu Yu with such a serious expression was when he first confessed his love to her.

The second time was five years ago when Lu Yu said he would seek justice for his family and uncover the truth!

And now was the last time!

Seeing Lu Yu's serious expression, Leng Qingqiu discreetly suppressed her surprise. She raised an eyebrow and looked at Lu Yu before her, saying, "Alright, I can agree to your request!"

She can agree?

Hearing this, Lu Yu's heart skipped a beat. Even he hadn't expected Leng Qingqiu to agree so readily!

For as long as he had known Leng Qingqiu, Lu Yu had a very detailed understanding of her. In his impression, for Leng Qingqiu to agree so easily, there must be some condition she hadn't yet mentioned.

With this in mind, Lu Yu didn't rush to respond but instead waited quietly for what Leng Qingqiu would say next.

"However, as a condition for me to stop the investigation,"

At this moment, Leng Qingqiu spoke slowly, with the unique aura of a female CEO: "I want you to tell me what happened to you during your five-year disappearance and everything you experienced!"

As the CEO of the Victory Group in LA City, Leng Qingqiu was beautiful, sexy, wise, and intelligent, with a strong economic acumen. She was undoubtedly an excellent CEO!

But, just as no gold is pure and no person is perfect, Leng Qingqiu's only flaw, which all women share, was her curiosity!

Beneath Leng Qingqiu's cold and alluring exterior lay a great curiosity. She was curious about what Lu Yu had gone through during those five years of disappearance.

She wondered what kind of experiences could turn a once useless and extravagant young master into the person he was now!

The downfall of a family was enough to make someone turn over a new leaf.

But Lu Yu's current state was not just a simple rebirth!

The current Lu Yu seemed to have been entirely reborn, with a newfound steadiness and occasional air of weariness, making Leng Qingqiu see someone completely unfamiliar beneath his once-familiar flamboyant exterior!

It was precisely for this reason that Leng Qingqiu was so curious about Lu Yu.

The entire experience of those five years!?

Hearing this, Lu Yu frowned deeply. As these words reached him, his mind flashed with many vivid memories!

These images were dark, cruel, bloody, and violent, engraved in his memory!

Each scene was something Lu Yu was unwilling to reveal to the outside world!

Now, Leng Qingqiu wanted him to recount every part of this past, which for Lu Yu, was akin to reopening old wounds and recalling those unbearable memories of the past five years!

"That's impossible!"

Upon hearing Leng Qingqiu's words, Lu Yu spoke in a low tone.

The events of those five years were something Lu Yu did not wish to revisit, so he directly refused Leng Qingqiu's condition.

"If that's the case!"

Upon hearing Lu Yu's words, Leng Qingqiu gently shook her head, then said, "I can't stop the investigation of that area unless you're willing to tell me what happened during those five years!"

"Leng Qingqiu!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yu spoke in a low voice, "Why are you still as stubborn as you were five years ago? If you continue to investigate, it could pose a huge threat to your life!"

Lu Yu's words were sombre, filled with a cold resolve, and bore a sense of questioning!
