After Divorce: Pursued by Cohabiting Boss

Chapter 54

“Stop hitting, stop hitting!" Ren Zongshun shouted loudly.

Jiang Kening's ears were being twisted so hard that she was in excruciating pain. “You cheap woman Li Zhen, let go! What’s the point of mutually assured destruction? Let’s both let go!”

“You can let go if you want, I won’t!" Li Zhen gritted her teeth and endured the pain on her scalp.

“I’m stupid? If you don’t let go then I won’t let go either?”

“What are you whining about? Weren’t you trying to kill me? Don’t chicken out now!”

Jiang Kening was about to pass out from the pain, provoked by Li Zhen's words until her blood boiled.

“You cheap woman!" Jiang Kening raised her leg and kicked towards Li Zhen's belly.

Li Zhen was wearing high heels and lost her balance. She fell to the ground with a thud after being kicked.

Her head buzzed and rang for quite a while before she came to her senses and got up. She immediately bared her claws and pounced at Li Zhen, "Ah! I'm going to kill you!"

-

One hour later, at the police station.

Wang Peng walked in with the police officer, took one look at the three employees inside, and his expression immediately darkened. “Manager Ren, what’s going on here! Why is it your department causing trouble again?”

It had been like this day after day. How was he supposed to enjoy his peaceful retirement life in the next two years?

Ren Zongshun immediately stood up, “Director Wang, this was just an accident today. The two girls have bad tempers and are petulant, so they got into a fight. But it’s no big deal!”

The police officer raised an eyebrow, “What do you mean it’s no big deal? Fighting and brawling is not a big deal? Does someone have to die for it to be considered serious?”

Ren Zongshun was taken aback. He quickly nodded, “Yes, yes, you’re absolutely right, comrade.”

Jiang Kening sat next to Ren Zongshun, crying softly and aggrievedly.

Li Zhen sat in the corner, too tired to say anything, just leaning against the back of the chair.

At the door, Lu Yanming's low and steady voice came through, "Alright, thank you."

Then he strode in, his gaze falling on Li Zhen in the corner.

Her hair was a tangled mess, there were several scratch marks on her neck, and her clothes were torn and rumpled. She looked as wretched as a stray kitten.

“Yanming, did you finish the paperwork?” Wang Peng asked.

“Yes, it’s done.” Lu Yanming withdrew his gaze and nodded.

Jiang Kening's eyes suddenly lit up. She didn’t often get the chance to interact with this new deputy general manager. She didn't expect that not only Director Wang, but the new deputy general manager had also come to bail her and Li Zhen out today.

This new deputy general manager was truly handsome.

Even better looking up close.

Jiang Kening squeezed her voice and sobbed coquettishly, appearing extra delicate and charming. “Deputy General Manager Lu, I didn't expect Li Zhen to directly assault me. It scared me.”

Jiang Kening knew she had decent looks, so she dared to covet Yusheng.

When she cried, there were usually plenty of men who felt sorry for her.

But this new deputy general manager remained completely cold. He didn't even respond to her words.

She even felt that the new deputy general manager looked at her with an extremely cold gaze, though she wasn't sure if that was just her imagination.

Jiang Kening didn't lose heart. She made her voice even more charming. “Deputy General Manager Lu...I’m in so much pain...”

Wang Peng impatiently urged her, “Why are you still crying? Hurry up and go.”

Jiang Kening: ...

She was so frightened by Wang Peng that she hiccupped from her crying.

The few of them walked outside.

“Deputy General Manager Lu, can I get a ride back with you?” Jiang Kening clung to Lu Yanming like a dependent bird.

She was a little envious seeing this Mercedes-Benz.

Her sister's boyfriend also drove a Mercedes-Benz, but it didn't look as big or as long as this one.

The deputy general manager's Mercedes-Benz was probably much more expensive.

Lu Yanming still didn't say anything. He just glanced down at her silently.

It was a deep, cold glance. Jiang Kening couldn't help shivering all over. "Deputy General Manager Lu..."

"Kening, come ride in my car." Ren Zongshun quickly helped smooth things over for Jiang Kening.

Jiang Kening got into his car.

Li Zhen also walked towards Ren Zongshun's car, but a large hand lightly grabbed her arm.

"Get in the passenger seat." Lu Yanming tilted his chin towards his car.

Li Zhen, who was feeling weak, obediently got into the passenger seat.

Lu Yanming got into the car.

Wang Peng was just about to open the back door of the Mercedes-Benz...

When there was a sudden roar,

And the Mercedes-Benz sped off in a cloud of dust.

Wang Peng was left standing there stunned...

He came to his senses and hurriedly waved at the Mercedes-Benz’s rearview mirror, “Yanming, Yanming! I haven’t gotten in the car yet!”

“Director Wang, would you like to ride in my car?” Ren Zongshun jogged over and asked.

In the car.

Lu Yanming held the steering wheel with one hand, took off his suit jacket and draped it over Li Zhen. “How did you lose so badly?”

“What do you mean I lost, I clearly won!” The defeated look on Li Zhen's face instantly disappeared as she said resentfully, “But I’m not satisfied with how I won. I didn't get to vent properly.”

“Winning or losing isn't about who got hurt less. If you get hurt, you lose. You can fight again next time, but don't let yourself get injured.” Lu Yanming spoke heavily.

Li Zhen didn't say anything more.

She sighed softly in her heart. She really did look wretched now. Going back to the company like this was a little embarrassing. But it was still working hours, so she didn't feel right asking Lu Yanming to take her home to clean up either.

The two of them entered the elevator back at the company. Lu Yanming pressed the button for the 36th floor.

That was where his office was. Li Zhen raised her hand to press the floor for the advertising department, but her hand was grasped gently by Lu Yanming’s large, dry hand.

“We’re at the company now, Deputy General Manager Lu.” Li Zhen immediately pulled her hand back, scalded by his touch.

“There’s no one else in the elevator. No need to be nervous.”

“But there are security cameras! There are people behind the cameras!”

“Do you really think they stare at the elevator all the time?”

“...” That was probably true.

By the time they finished talking, the elevator had already arrived at the 36th floor.

Li Zhen guessed that Lu Yanming had brought her to his office to treat her wounds, so she didn't ask any more questions and followed him inside.

But she didn't expect that in addition to the first aid kit on the coffee table in his office, there was also her makeup, a mirror, a comb, and a change of clothes.

“Deputy General Manager Lu, do you know magic? These appeared out of thin air?” Li Zhen's depressed mood instantly turned cheerful.

“Fei Zhao went home to grab them.” Lu Yanming explained breezily. “Come over here.”

Li Zhen sat down on the sofa. The last time she was here...was the day she was forced to get married.

Her eyes unconsciously glanced at the familiar trash can. Li Zhen suddenly remembered the conspicuous disposable glove and how he had put his jacket on the desk before laying her down.

Li Zhen suddenly felt restless sitting there. “Hurry up, Deputy General Manager Lu. I still have work to do.”

“Can you use a different phrase?” Lu Yanming leisurely opened the first aid kit and sighed lightly. “You're always telling me to hurry up.”

Li Zhen's breathing tightened!

What was he talking about!

“If I really went fast, you'd probably complain too. Nowadays, the word I hear most often when I walk past the pantry is 'five seconds'.” Lu Yanming's voice was magnetic and pleasant, his tone casual, sounding like meaningless small talk.

He took out an iodine swab to clean the small scratches on her neck.

“Ahem...” Li Zhen uncomfortably shifted her position. Alright, she was in the wrong about that incident.

Lu Yanming's breath fell on her sensitive neck. He said helplessly, “So don't get hurt next time. I can last a long time with anything.”

After saying that, he lifted those clear, handsome eyes to look at her. “Oh, don't get the wrong idea. I meant I'm very slow at disinfecting and applying medicine.”

Li Zhen: Haha, you'd better be.
