Chapter 54: Are You a Good Person or a Bad Person?

Lu Chengwen lay sprawled on the large sofa in the living room, lost in thought.

"Zhao Gang."

"Mr. Lu."

Lu Chengwen said, "I'll leave you some money. Go back to your hometown."

"Mr. Lu, did I... do something wrong? Is it because I didn't beat up that big black guy that day?"

Lu Chengwen shook his head. "I'm going through a rough patch. I think I'm about to die."

"Mr. Lu, let's find a master to take a look."

Lu Chengwen laughed. "Nonsense. Those so-called masters are all frauds."

"The master I'm talking about isn't a fraud. He's really powerful! Many wealthy people go to him to ask about their fortunes, seek success, find love, and ward off disasters!"

Just then, the doorbell rang.

"Who is it?"

"I'll go check."

Zhao Gang went out and came back excitedly, bouncing on his feet. "Mr. Lu! Miss Xu is here!"

Lu Chengwen sat up abruptly. "Why is she here?"

Before he could finish his sentence, Xu Xuejiao had already walked in. "Why can't I come? Zhao Gang, you can leave. I need to talk to Chengwen."

"Yes." Zhao Gang, knowing his place, quickly left and closed the door behind him.

Lu Chengwen looked at Xu Xuejiao. "What do you want?"

Xu Xuejiao said, "Nothing much. You're my boyfriend. I came to play with you!"

"Who's your boyfriend? Go home and play by yourself. I'm not in the mood to deal with you."

"Teehee." Xu Xuejiao took off her coat, revealing...

Lu Chengwen's eyes widened. Wow!

Xu Xuejiao looked stunning.

Under her stylish coat, she was wearing a beautiful maid outfit, paired with black stockings and high heels, exuding an irresistible allure.

Xu Xuejiao even pulled out a pair of bunny ears from her pocket and put them on, hopping over to Lu Chengwen. "I've learned some dance moves. Want me to dance for you?"

Lu Chengwen was on the verge of tears. "Sis, what are you trying to do?"

"Be your girlfriend!"

"Be my girlfriend? I'm about to go bankrupt!"

"Really?"

"Absolutely."

"It's fine. Big sis will take care of you. Heehee."

Lu Chengwen said, "Aren't you embarrassed dressing like this? Come here, let me take a video and send it to your dad."

"Go ahead!" Xu Xuejiao wasn't scared at all. Instead, she struck various seductive poses.

"You really aren't afraid?"

"Afraid of what? I'm not naked. Many internet celebrities wear bunny girl outfits during their livestreams. What's the big deal? But if the video gets leaked, I'll go to your parents and tell them you hit me, abused me, bullied me, forced me to wear weird outfits, and made me act cute to satisfy your perverted desires..."

Lu Chengwen was at a loss.

Xu Xuejiao was fearless, and he had no way to deal with her.

Lu Chengwen put away his phone. "I'm in a really bad mood right now. I really don't have the energy to chat with you."

"Oh, oh! I get it, I get it. I'll make you happy!"

"What are you going to do?"

Xu Xuejiao took out her phone, connected to the smart home system, and pressed a button.

The lights in the living room began to shift, creating a seductive and romantic atmosphere.

Soft, soothing music with a hint of temptation started playing.

The curtains slowly closed, and the center of the living room transformed into a dance floor.

Xu Xuejiao took off her bunny ears, her eyes seductive as she bit her lip, one hand slowly moving to her chest, and began to walk in a catwalk...

Lu Chengwen's eyes lit up instantly.

[Damn, this isn't the Xu family's young lady. This is a life-sucking little demon!]

[Xu Xuejiao is so beautiful, so sexy, so lively, so amazing!]

[If I had a girlfriend like this, she could replace ten others! So many ways to play, so many variations!]

[Oh! She's starting to dance. So beautiful, so exciting! That figure! That look in her eyes!]

[I can't take it anymore. I really can't!]

Lu Chengwen smiled.

If death was inevitable, he might as well die a romantic death.

With that thought, Lu Chengwen leaned back on the sofa, hands behind his head, a smile on his face as he enjoyed Xu Xuejiao's seductive dance.

Xu Xuejiao's movements were slow, but each one was filled with temptation, clearly aimed at seducing Lu Chengwen.

Lu Chengwen's blood was boiling. He had no other thoughts now, completely immersed in Xu Xuejiao's dance, unable to extricate himself. [This girl may be full of tricks and always causing trouble for me, but this dance is... really exciting!]

[Should I just take her here and now?]

Xu Xuejiao, moving in her catwalk, slowly approached Lu Chengwen and began to dance closely with him.

Meanwhile, Tang Yiyi had sneaked in. Hearing the music, she felt something was off. She started recording from the back, noticing the dim lighting in the living room.

When she saw Xu Xuejiao lying on the floor, rubbing against Lu Chengwen's leg like a kitten, she almost screamed, quickly covering her mouth.

That was... Xu Xuejiao!?

Oh my god! The private lives of these rich people are absolutely horrifying!

Usually so dignified and capable.

Who would have thought they could be so dirty and depraved behind closed doors?

I need to record all of this as evidence!

Wait, isn't this their private life? Besides embarrassing them, what else can this video do?

But with this video alone, it's clear that Lu Chengwen, while engaged to Leng Qingqiu, is cheating with the Xu family's young lady!

And these two are so perverted, so disgusting!

This video could disgrace the Lu, Xu, and Leng families.

But my main goal isn't to record this. I'm here to find evidence!

Evidence that Lu Chengwen is producing counterfeit drugs!

Evidence that Lu Chengwen is profiting illegally from the shantytown project!

At this moment, Lu Chengwen lifted Xu Xuejiao's chin, and she looked into his eyes with utmost seduction.

Lu Chengwen couldn't help but exhale. "You little temptress."

"Naughty!" Xu Xuejiao blushed, gently biting Lu Chengwen's finger as she climbed onto him.

Lu Chengwen took a deep breath.

[If I die, so be it! Having such a top-notch girl, I won't complain even if I die!]

Hearing Lu Chengwen's thoughts, Xu Xuejiao was naturally thrilled.

But just then, Zhao Gang's voice rang out from the door. "Mr. Lu! Young Master Lu is here!"

Xu Xuejiao fell into Lu Chengwen's arms, and Lu Chengwen hurriedly fastened his belt. "Why is he here now? Damn it, of all times!"

Xu Xuejiao quickly grabbed her coat and put it on, giggling. "Mr. Lu, not my fault. You'll have to deal with your frustration yourself now!"

"Hide, hide! Don't let my brother see you!"

"Why not?"

"Just hide!"

Lu Chengwen's mind cleared, and he suddenly felt like a scoundrel.

[If I'm doomed, why drag Xu Xuejiao's innocence down with me? What was I thinking?]

[Sigh, she's a good girl. Being with her would be so much fun. Unfortunately, I don't have that kind of luck.]

Xu Xuejiao giggled and hid in a dressing room.

Lu Chengwu walked in. "Brother, wow, your new place is amazing. This must have cost millions, right?"

Lu Chengwen's face darkened when he saw Lu Chengwu. "You finally decided to show up?"

"Hehe, bro, I... I'm a bit short on cash lately. I was hoping you could lend me some."

"Oh, short on cash?"

"Yeah."

"If you weren't short on cash, you'd still be avoiding me, right?"

"Bro, it's just a batch of medicine! You burned it, so what? I don't blame you."

Lu Chengwen's eyes widened, and he stood up. "What did you say? Say that again!"

"I..."

Lu Chengwen said, "I put you in charge of the pharmaceutical factory, and you formed cliques, suppressed the technical team, promoted bureaucracy, and acted like a dictator. That's not even the worst part. You dared to tamper with the ingredients of the medicine. How could you be so reckless?"

"I was just trying to cut costs!"

"Cut costs?"

"Many pharmaceutical companies do it. If we don't reduce costs, we'll lose the market."

Lu Chengwen looked at Lu Chengwu. "Lu Chengwu, from now on, you're not allowed anywhere near the pharmaceutical factory. Got it? Cutting corners to save costs? You think you're clever? Any idiot can come up with that idea. I don't need you for that!"

Tang Yiyi, hiding in a corner, was ecstatic as she recorded.

This is perfect! I came at just the right time to catch the Lu brothers tampering with the pharmaceutical factory!

Once this video gets out, the Ninth Pharmaceutical Factory will be shut down immediately! The Lu family's stocks will crash! And Lu Chengwen and Lu Chengwu will be brought to justice!

Lu Chengwu complained, "Bro! What's wrong with you lately? Didn't you teach me everything I know about business? Profit above all else. The lower class is just there for us capitalists to exploit. Whether they live well or stay healthy is none of our concern. Our job is to make them hand over their money. Isn't that the iron rule we've always followed?"

Lu Chengwen felt both hatred for his brother and hatred for himself.

He hated his brother for being so clueless and spineless at his age.

He hated himself for transmigrating into a villain, a scoundrel to the core, and for corrupting his brother in the process.

Lu Chengwen slapped himself hard, cursing himself for his sins.

Lu Chengwu was completely baffled by Lu Chengwen's actions. Seeing his brother slap himself, he was confused. "Bro, you don't need to regret it. If you let me back into the factory, I promise, within three months, I'll have those old stubborn fools under control. The factory will be ours again. Then we can make as much money as we want..."

"Shut up!"

Lu Chengwen clutched his chest, feeling like he was about to have a heart attack.

"Chengwu."

"Bro."

"Remember this."

"Yeah."

Lu Chengwen put an arm around Lu Chengwu, his other hand still on his chest. "I don't remember what I was like before, but from now on, stay away from the pharmaceutical factory. The pharmaceutical business isn't like others. It needs to be managed by professionals. Neither you nor I are qualified. From now on, listen to Xu Xuejiao."

Lu Chengwu looked at his brother suspiciously. "Bro, that Xu Xuejiao is always causing trouble for us. If it weren't for your brilliant plan to send her away for over half a year, we wouldn't have made so much money. Now that she's back, I think she's here to cause trouble. We can't hand the factory over to the Xu family."

Lu Chengwen exploded in anger. "If we don't give it to her, we'll give it to you!? Medicine! Medicine! That's medicine! It's meant to save lives! Ordinary people work hard to earn a living, and when they get sick, they spend a fortune to regain their health and get back to work to support their families! Profiting from the pharmaceutical factory is a sin that will curse your descendants! Whoever does it will die a horrible death! Can you understand human language!?"

Xu Xuejiao, listening from the side, was initially angry.

She hadn't realized that Lu Chengwen was so cunning. Her six-month study exchange was part of his plan to keep her away from the factory's management.

But as she listened further, she became confused.

This Lu Chengwen, I can't figure him out. Is he saying all this for my benefit, or does he really mean it?

Tang Yiyi was also confused.

If this conversation is anything to go by, then Lu Chengwen isn't a bad person!

He discovered the problem, dealt with it, solved it, and took responsibility.

And now he's kicking his brother out of the factory's management to prevent similar incidents from happening again.

And... Lu Chengwen did personally destroy billions worth of medicine.

So... at least in this matter... Lu Chengwen is a good person!

Just then, Zhao Gang rushed in again. "Mr. Lu, Young Master, Mr. Chen is here!"

Lu Chengwen asked, "Which Mr. Chen?"

"Chen Mengyun!"

Lu Chengwu panicked. "Bro, I... I need to hide for a bit, just for a bit..."
