Chapter 824: Losing patience

It was a coincidence that Gu Haoyu was also there.

Gu Haoyu was enjoying tea in Director Ye’s office. However, the director had made the tea, and not Gu Haoyu, who could brew the Big Red Robe tea like it was the Chrysanthemum tea.

The two of them interacted well with each other. When Lu Xingzhi arrived, Director Ye even talked to Gu Haoyu about his daughter, who was abroad, and the younger man listened attentively.

“Don’t you have a flight in the morning? Why are you still here?” Gu Haoyu clicked his tongue in surprise when Lu Xingzhi walked into the room. “It’s a warm night in the lotus tent. From now on, the king doesn’t need to go to court early.”

Lu Xingzhi ignored Gu Haoyu’s teasing and sat down beside the man as he stated the purpose of his visit. “I’ve got two specially modified cars for my wife’s company. I’m here to get a license from the DMV—a special license plate. I’m hoping that Director Ye can help me with that.”

“Of course, it’s a small matter.” That area did not have strict regulations, so it was a small matter for Director Ye, indeed.

“Thanks.” Lu Xingzhi liked a straightforward person like the director. Therefore, if Director Ye had something to ask of him, he would do it for him.

“When are you leaving Nanjiang City?” Gu Haoyu asked.

“Two o’clock in the afternoon,” Lu Xingzhi answered him.

Gu Haoyu smiled. “Well, that’s good. I’m going back to the hotel to pick up something. You can bring it back to Ruoran. I bought her a present when I went shopping a few days ago. Last time, she mentioned that she wanted to visit Nanjiang city when she’s free, but I heard that she has been very busy with her company recently, so she didn’t have the time to go out.”

As they spoke, Gu Haoyu and Lu Xingzhi got up and bid farewell to Director Ye. Coincidentally, just as they reached the police station lobby, they saw a car parked at the entrance. Then, Zhu Shisan and Zhu Qianliang got out of the vehicle.

Zhu Shisan had never met Lu Xingzhi and Gu Haoyu, but he had met Director Ye. When he saw the director personally escorted those two men out, he glanced at them. Even though Zhu Qianliang did not know Gu Haoyu, he knew Lu Xingzhi.

“Young Master Lu!” Zhu Qianliang was very surprised to see Jiang Yao’s husband there, so he snapped back to his senses and immediately called out to Lu Xingzhi.

When Zhu Shisan heard that, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. He did not expect Jiang Yao’s unpredictable husband was a young and handsome man.

“Are you here about Zhu Qianlan?” Lu Xingzhi put his hands in his pockets. He looked casual, but it was so calm that it would make one tremble in fear.

It was the truth. His question made Zhu Shisan and Zhu Qianliang’s hearts sink—bit by bit.

“The Zhu family has dragged this matter with Zhu Qianlan for so long that I’ve lost my patience.” Lu Xingzhi’s expression did not change in the slightest. “I’m adding one more demand. The Zhu family’s jewelry company must withdraw from Nanjiang City. You have only two days to consider it. I’m not talking about the two of you, but the Zhu family has only two days to consider it. After two days, Zhu Qianlan will be imprisoned in Nanjiang City’s prison. As for the issue with YN, the Zhu family will probably need to arrange for a funeral. I heard that the Emerald King has some ruthless and frightening methods.”

Then, Lu Xingzhi and Gu Haoyu strode past the father and son duo as they left the police station.

Director Ye stood there as he looked at Zhu Shisan and Zhu Qianliang, whose faces were ashen. He was not surprised; he had experienced Young Master Lu’s patience a long time ago. It was no different from impatience.
