Chapter 617: Chapter 617 No Way Out

Xu Ke kept his word and started arranging to evict Lu Chenyu’s family right after dinner.

After taking one last look at his plan, Xu Ke closed his computer with satisfaction. Within a week at the latest, he was confident he would have Lu Chenyu rolling out of Shangjing, penniless, with no way of returning to the city again.

Three days flew by, and Lu Chenyu was driven to desperation by Xu Ke. He had put everything on the line in Shangjing, but now he was on the brink of bankruptcy. His financial chain was near the breaking point, and he could already see his bleak future after its collapse.

Lu Chenyu dragged his fingers through his unkempt hair and, with bloodshot eyes, growled in a low voice, "Xu Ke, I’ve got you in my sights. Just wait until I rise up and crush you underfoot. On that day, I’ll make you wish you were dead." At that moment, Lu Chenyu was like a cornered beast, trapped in Xu Ke’s iron cage, unable to break free no matter how much he roared.

As Lu Chenyu teetered on the brink of madness, the study door was pushed open. Mrs. Lu’s face showed some healing, though the bruises were still visible beneath the powder.

Holding a cup of warm water, Mrs. Lu stepped in, "I brought you some water. It’s warm, so you can drink a little. Remember to rest early after you’re done. I’ll leave now." She placed the water by Lu Chenyu’s side, swallowing the words she intended to say when faced with his maddened gaze.

Mrs. Lu took two steps back, intending to leave, "Did I tell you to go?" Lu Chenyu’s voice was like a spell, freezing her in place.

His voice was hoarse from long dehydration, like sandpaper grating against a blackboard, unbearably grating.
