26: 26. A good show

Lu Manwen never imagined that today it would be her who was cornered, and by a high school student cousin she looked down upon.

The air conditioning in the office hummed, but she was still sweating profusely.

"I don't know what you're... saying?" Her voice was hoarse, as if it had been scraped with sandpaper.

"Does Cousin have such a bad memory? Then let me help you recall..." Lu Feng's voice was frighteningly calm. He tapped his finger on the desk and continued, "Do you know what crime it is to tamper with aFiling contract? How many years would you be imprisoned for using fake insurance policies to defraud policyholders of funds and embezzling premiums?"

This was why Lu Manwen was unwilling to process the claim. The contract was completely fraudulent. Back then, Shen Nanyu, abusing his position, forged fake insurance policy contracts and defrauded a large amount of funds for investment.

Lu Manwen only found out after she became his mistress.

So, being directly exposed, Lu Manwen trembled all over, her clothes already soaked as if she had been pulled out of the water: "You... what do you want? How much money do you want?"

Lu Feng sneered without a word.

Lu Manwen was genuinely scared. She grabbed Lu Feng's wrist: "I... I don't know, Xiao Lu, you... I'm your cousin, we're relatives, you... you can't harm me like this..."

Lu Feng directly shook her off, stepping back in disgust: "Who's 'we' with you? When my dad begged you to process the claim, what did you say?"

Lu Manwen was thrown back, stumbling and falling to the ground.

Seeing that she couldn't persuade Lu Feng, she gritted her teeth and said with a fierce but inwardly weak tone: "Lu Feng, I advise you not to mess around... Do you know who you're provoking? Shen Nanyu is a senior project manager at Youguang Headquarters. He has extensive connections. He can crush ordinary people like us with one hand. You... don't harm your whole family!"

If it were before, Lu Feng definitely wouldn't dare to mess around, but now... Lu Feng took out his phone, dialed a number in front of her, and turned on the speaker.

"Beep beep beep..."

Lu Manwen still didn't understand what he was going to do, but the next second, the call connected, and a voice that she was incredibly familiar with and could never forget came through.

"Hello... who is this?"

Lu Manwen's pupils constricted, and her mouth fell open.

It was... Shen Nanyu. How did Lu Feng have his phone number?!

One was a broke student who had to work on construction sites, and the other was a senior project manager at Youguang Insurance Group's Strategic Development Center.

The two were clearly as different as clouds and mud.

"Mr. Shen, why don't you let your mistress tell you what's going on?"

Before the other party could speak, Lu Feng directly threw the phone to Lu Manwen.

Lu Manwen clutched it like a life raft. She held the phone trembling, her voice hoarse: "Mr. Shen... something happened, save me."

...On the other end of the phone, Shen Nanyu was having dinner with his wife Zhou Chuyun and her father at a restaurant. Hearing his phone ring, he frowned, subtly glanced at his wife and her father next to him, and showed an apologetic expression: "It's work related."

Her father, Zhou Tai, waved his hand and dismissed him: "Don't delay work matters."

Shen Nanyu then calmly got up and walked towards the restroom.

Lu Manwen's voice came through, and Shen Nanyu's authoritative voice carried a question: "Lu Manwen? Who told you to call me?"

Lu Manwen shivered. She quickly explained: "No... it was my cousin who called... He knows about our... matter."

Shen Nanyu frowned. He had no interest in who Lu Manwen's cousin was. What if someone of that caliber knew about his private affair?

"If you can't even handle such a small matter, then don't stay in that position," Shen Nanyu said solemnly.

Upon hearing this, Lu Manwen said in a panic: "No, Brother Shen, this... he... he knows about your forged insurance contract... matter."

Shen Nanyu's pupils trembled. He suppressed his voice and angrily said: "Are you f*cking crazy? Can you talk about something like this on the phone?"

"But... but he... is standing in my office right now... threa... threatening to expose everything, Brother Shen, what should I do?" Lu Manwen was about to cry.

Shen Nanyu gritted his teeth: "I told you to be careful, and you still leaked it to me?! What exactly does he want to do? Does he want money?"

Lu Manwen looked at Lu Feng, feeling wronged. Lu Feng smiled into the phone: "Mr. Shen, what do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Nanyu sneered: "Kid, I've been through so many storms over the years, seen all kinds of people. If you want to threaten me, you're really not enough."

His voice was full of arrogance, like the crushing aura of a superior. Most people would instinctively bow their heads upon hearing it.

But Lu Feng didn't care. He directly interrupted Shen Nanyu, and slowly said: "Mr. Shen, you do have some ability to climb to your current position in the financial world step by step... But you can deceive others, you have no secrets from me."

Although Lu Feng entered Lu Manwen's dream last night, after learning of Shen Nanyu's existence, he wanted to bring out Shen Nanyu's bubble from the dream space as well.

It was then that he understood that the bubbles in the dream space could actually be connected.

Although the dream space had a range, as long as someone appeared in the red dream of a dream subject, the other person's dream could be directly brought out through dream connection.

Therefore, Lu Feng had long seen through everything about the other party.

"Then tell me, what secret do you know about me?" Shen Nanyu sneered.

"Let's not talk about trivial matters like you peeking at the neighbor, Widow Liu, bathing when you were a child, but why didn't you even tell my cousin that you married into the Zhou Family as a live-in son-in-law?" Lu Feng said in a teasing tone.

Shen Nanyu's heart pounded fiercely, and goosebumps erupted all over his body. He felt it was unbelievable.

And Lu Manwen, beside him, also showed a shocked expression. Her master was actually a live-in son-in-law?

So, all his talk about his 'old hag' wife, wanting to divorce her, and kicking his current wife out... was all fake?

Lu Feng curved his lips into a faint smile and looked at Lu Manwen: "His wife, Zhou Chuyun, is no ordinary person. She graduated from a top business school overseas, and her father, Zhou Tai, is one of Youguang Insurance's shareholders. This marriage was a step up for Shen Nanyu, which is also why he was able to be transferred to headquarters as a manager in such a short time."

"Oh, by the way, with him being like this, do you think he would abandon his virtuous wife and marry a woman like you who tries to attract attention? You shouldn't be thinking that, should you?"

Lu Feng's words were like a sword piercing through all of Lu Manwen's hopes. She said dazedly into the phone: "Brother Shen... is what he said... true?"

"Shut up! You f*cking shut up!!" Shen Nanyu roared, his face contorted in a ferocious expression.

He was completely hysterical after being exposed.

What Lu Feng said was precisely what was buried deepest in his heart, and what he was most unwilling to face.

He was a live-in son-in-law. A 'phoenix man' like him was looked down upon by everyone, and his pathetic self-esteem was not worth mentioning in the eyes of the Zhou Family.

He had to come when needed and be dismissed when not needed, like a dog.

However, despite this humiliating life, he dared not, and was unwilling to resist.

Because all his status and money came from his father-in-law. He wanted a glorious life, even if he was truly like a dog at home.

It was precisely because of this twisted mentality that he secretly cheated like crazy. He only dared to use such a method to disgust the Zhou Family behind their backs, thereby gaining a sense of satisfaction.

And now, everything was exposed, and he was almost suffocating from the suppressed pain.

"What exactly do you want to do?"

"Originally, I just wanted the insurance claim..."

Before Lu Feng could finish, he immediately said: "I approve. Whatever the claim amount, I'll arrange for someone to process it for you today..."

Lu Feng smiled: "Before this, that was indeed my request, but now, it's too late."

Due to Lu Feng's personality, he either doesn't act, or he acts to eliminate future troubles permanently.

So when he settled the score with Lu Manwen, he would also target her backer. Lu Feng didn't want to deal with Lu Manwen and then wait for Shen Nanyu's revenge; that would be too foolish.

Shen Nanyu was so angry he laughed, a chilling laugh like it came from the depths of hell, sending shivers down one's spine: "I'll ask you one more time, what exactly do you want to do?!"

Lu Feng glanced at his watch and smiled: "I think the time should be about right. You'll know soon."

Shen Nanyu's heart was anxious and uneasy. Just then, his gaze caught sight of a waiter not far away carrying an envelope and walking towards his wife and her father's table. After saying something, the waiter placed the envelope down and turned to leave.

Shen Nanyu's heart pounded wildly. A bad premonition surged within him. He thought of a possibility, but it seemed utterly absurd.

"You win, alright! I... I give up!!" Shen Nanyu could no longer maintain his lofty demeanor and said sharply.

"Mr. Shen, you know your father-in-law loves to drink morning tea, so every Friday you thoughtfully take your wife and him to Swan Restaurant for a meal. But simply enjoying breakfast can be a bit boring, so I arranged a good show for them. Mr. Shen, you should look forward to it too. Oh, and next time, remember not to save anything on cloud drives; it's easy to leak."

Almost the instant Lu Feng finished speaking, the sound of a plate shattering came from the restaurant.

Shen Nanyu looked up, meeting the extremely cold gazes of the two people there.
