nLu Yaohua had initially thought that by a stroke of luck, they might have gotten the wrong person.
nAfter the person he sent personally witnessed Lu Ming becoming the new boss, this bit of luck was finally shattered.
n
n
nHe looked at his son with a grave expression.
nTang Wenyi also noticed that something was wrong, so she asked, “Yaohua? What’s wrong? Why do you look so upset? Did something happen?”
n“It’s something unfavorable.”
nLu Yaohua sighed and rubbed his temples in a troubled manner.
n
n
nTang Wenyi apparently did not take it seriously. She merely said, “How difficult could it be? At most, I’ll get my parents to help you settle it.”
nHer parents had formed many connections over the years. They were the ones who helped Lu Yaohua whenever he was in trouble.
nAfter all, their daughter had taken a liking to him. No matter how bad Lu Yaohua was, they had to help him.
nFortunately, Lu Yaohua was ambitious and did not let them worry too much.
n
n
nAfter Lu Ze took a bite of his steak, he said, “Speaking of which, I’ve been wanting to go for a drive tonight. I haven’t been out in months.”
n“You can’t.”
nTang Wenyi objected right away. “Your body is very frail now. What if you hit someone and have a relapse? You’re my one and only precious son.”
nLu Yaohua coughed and said, “What I want to say is that Lu Ming has become the new major shareholder of Wanke Real Estate. In other words…”
n“How is this possible!”
nLu Ze was the first to not believe it. How could that beggar become a big boss?!
n
n
nHe asked doubtfully, “Dad, is this false news that got around?”
n“That’s right! That kid is so poor that he doesn’t have any money, so how could he have spare money to buy shares? The news must be wrong!”
nTang Wenyi said bluntly.
nLu Yaohua sighed. “I didn’t believe what Secretary Zhang said yesterday, so I sent someone to check on him this morning. In the end, he saw that kid walk into the company with his own eyes. Those people all called him Chairman.”
nLu Ze slammed the table and said firmly, “That’s impossible! Since when could a beggar become a boss? Didn’t you say that he was just an ordinary university student? You call this ordinary?”
n“According to the data, he was barely able to pay for his tuition!”
nTang Wenyi widened her eyes and looked at Lu Yaohua suspiciously. “Yaohua, to be honest, were you still thinking about that woman, so you secretly gave him money?”
nLu Yaohua hurriedly explained, “Don’t you know exactly how much money I have? The moment I use it, won’t you remind me? Besides, how could I be thinking about that person? You’re the one I love most in my life.”
n
n
nTang Wenyi nodded assuredly.
nIf he had used so much money, she would have known immediately.
nAnd Lu Yaohua did not have the guts to do that.
nShe thought of another possibility and asked uncertainly, “Did that woman seduce Chairman Wang after you left?”
nThe more she thought about it, the more she felt that it was possible. “That woman must have had an affair with Chairman Wang. That’s why Wanke is so protective of that bastard!”
nLu Ze felt that this was very possible and agreed. “I knew it. How could a beggar suddenly become a big boss? So that’s how it is!”
nLu Yaohua was skeptical.
nHe rubbed his chin and said, “These are all guesses now. We still have to investigate the specifics. It’s probably close to the mark.”
n“Then can we touch that kid now?”
nLu Ze asked the question he himself was concerned about.
nLooking at the food in front of her, Tang Wenyi had no appetite at all. She was consumed with anger!
n“We can’t go against Wanke yet, but he won’t last long. He doesn’t have much time to bounce around.”
nLu Ze did not continue.
n
n
nHe cherished his own life very much. In his eyes, Lu Ming was just a living tool.
nHis days were numbered. Since he couldn’t do it openly, he might as well do it secretly.
nAfter breakfast.
nLu Ze excused himself and left the house.
nHe walked into an alley in a familiar manner. A few burly men sat smoking on wooden boxes. They had different animal tattoos on their bodies, and they did not look like decent people.
n“Brother Xiong.”
nThe leader spun around with a sharp dagger. “Young Master Lu, we’ve just been bailed out by you and you’ve come over in such a hurry?”
nLu Ze shrugged and said, “There’s a troublesome matter that requires your help. If it is successful, I’ll give you all 5,000,000 yuan. Do you want to do it?”
n“Does it involve bloodshed?” Brother Xiong asked.
n“Yes.”
nLu Ze did not intend to leave him alive. Initially, he only wanted Lu Ming’s kidney. Since he refused to give it to him, he could not blame him for being uncivil!
n“A tool must have the self-awareness of being a tool!” he thought.
nBrother Xiong shook his head. “It’s too low. If we get caught again, we’ll probably spend the rest of our lives in prison.”
nLu Ze gritted his teeth. What was money compared to his life?
n“10,000,000 yuan! We’ve worked together so many times, it can’t go any higher!”
nBrother Xiong extinguished the cigarette butt and said, “On account of your bailing us out, we’ll do the job! Who is it this time?”
n“His name is Lu Ming. This is his photo.”
nLu Ze handed him the thing he had prepared beforehand.
nBrother Xiong raised his brows. “Surname is Lu as well? Your relative? We can’t afford to offend the Lu family.”
n“He’s not from the Lu family!”
nLu Ze said in disgust, “He’s just a bastard left outside by my dad. Don’t worry, my dad and mom hate him.”
nBrother Xiong had heard some rumors about these wealthy families. He asked curiously, “Did this person offend you?”
n“Right. Save your breath for me. I need his fresh kidney.”
nLu Ze said coldly.
nBrother Xiong clicked his tongue in wonder. It was said that imperial families were the most heartless. It seemed to him that even wealthy families were no different.
n“Alright, I’ll accept this deal!”
nAt the same time, while Lu Ming was working, the Superior Selection System suddenly sounded!
nFaced with extermination by your half-brother, Lu Ze, please select one of the following options:
nOption 1: Turn a blind eye to it. Reward: Brotherhood.
nOption 2: Confront him face to face. Reward: A halo for fierceness.
nOption 3: Conceal your strength and wait for your opportunity. Reward: Navy Seal Imperial Shield Personal Bodyguard Company (Function: Protection of personal safety and information security, close combat coach).
n“Extermination?”
nWas that what he was thinking?
nA cold electronic voice replied, “Yes.”
nThe sudden reply gave Lu Ming a shock. He thought that the system would only speak when the mission was assigned.
nHowever, no matter what he said next, the system did not answer.
nHe wondered if it would only speak when he asked about things related to the mission.
nAt this thought, he said, “I choose option 3.”
