Chapter 489: Lu Jingye, Just You Wait!
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“It’s Third Young Master Lu’s men!”
“Lu Yunxiao!”
If Lu Yunxiao was really behind this, then it must have been Lu Jingye’s idea.
At the thought of this, Rick mentioned his name with a grim expression. “Lu- Jing- Ye! Just you wait.”
He took out his phone and dialed a number shortly after.
When the other party answered the call, Rick said it outright, “I killed someone. Help me take care of this and I will give you what you want.”
The other party agreed.
The corner of Rick’s lips curled up. “Lu Jingye, do you think just this matter alone has any impact on me at all?”
He made his way outside following that.
However, when he arrived at the main entrance of the hotel, he could vaguely hear the sounds of sirens.
At the same time, his phone rang. It was from the person who he had called earlier.
The other party said, “What you did has already been widely spread around on the internet. I won’t be able to help you with this.”
After the other party said their piece, they hung up the call.
The sounds of sirens came closer and Rick made a decision at the very first instance. “Run!”
Having said that, he and his group of bodyguards ran in the other direction.
He felt that Lu Jingye must have done something in the dark. However, he could not allow himself to get caught right now, or else it would be very troublesome.
When Rick and his bodyguards ran away, Zi Yi and Little Loli came out from the hotel.
Little Loli looked at the group of people running with their tails tucked in between their legs and asked, “Master, should I stop them?”
“There’s no need.” Zi Yi said, “With Rick’s identity, even if he were to get arrested, Country D would also be able to bring him out. Instead, isn’t it better to let him experience the constant panic of being tracked?”
Little Loli’s eyes brightened at her words. “That’s a fantastic idea! But… what if he gets help from his connections in Country D?”
After all, Rick had a rather high-ranking status in Country D.
“Hmph!” Zi Yi headed towards the parking lot and said, “Then we’ll make it so that he can’t get in touch with people from Country D. I’ll just send some robots to pose as the police to track him down and that will be enough.”
“Hehe, alright!”
The two of them soon arrived at the parking lot and Zi Yi quickly sent Lu Jingye a message.
Very soon, a car drove over and parked in front of them.
Zi Yi got in the passenger seat and turned around to look at Lu Jingye who was sitting in the driver’s seat.
She recounted what had happened earlier to him.
Lu Jingye replied with an ‘ok’ and spoke in an extremely casual manner. “One should pay with their life for taking another life. Send the video to Elson’s family. I believe they will not let him off for that.”
He started the engine and drove the car out after saying that.
When the car drove out of the Lu Group’s hotel, he said, “Just moments ago, someone from my grandfather’s side called for me to return.”
“Lu Zhiheng must have tattled on you in front of your grandfather.” There’s no need to even think about the reason why his grandfather had called for him. “Then will you be going back later?”
“Yes.”
Zi Yi was a little unhappy. “You will be going back as your younger brother and he’s also a quiet one. What if Lu Zhiheng were to talk nonsense and exaggerate things?”
Zi Yi thought of Lu Zhiheng’s appearance when he was fighting with her over Mr. Colin’s attention. It was like a clown performing on a tightrope and she laughed from the image. “You two are cousins, but why is your elder cousin lacking in the brain department?”
Lu Jingye thought about it for a moment and analyzed it. “My Eldest Brother has always put his mind on snatching the Lu Group’s President position from me. Usually, he would only play dirty and he is also overconfident of himself, while ambitious at the same time. Of course, he doesn’t have the time to brush up on his skills.”
Zi Yi nodded her head and said, “That’s so accurate. He obviously doesn’t have the ability, and wants to get involved in every single thing. I just need to breach the Lu Group’s firewall once every ten days to play around with someone like that.”
“Even if you don’t do that, from today onwards, there will be many people who will attack the Lu Group.”
Everyone had treated Lu Zhiheng rather enthusiastically tonight and so Lu Zhiheng was still under the impression that he was very popular.
However, he did not know that those people were merely trying to test his capabilities.
They were all executives or presidents that wielded power in their respective companies. For them to test out an individual’s skills, especially someone like Lu Zhiheng who believed themselves to be incomparable, it was as simple as counting one, two, three.
After Lu Jingye sent Zi Yi home, he drove his way to the Lu Family’s main residence.
By the time he arrived, it was already 11 p.m at night.
Patriarch Lu had yet to sleep and all of Lu Zhiheng’s family members were also waiting together at the living room of his grandfather’s place of residence.
When Lu Jingye made his way inside, he glanced over to Lu Zhiheng who was staring at him with a bandage on his right hand. He then looked at Patriarch Lu and called out. “Grandfather.”
Patriarch Lu looked at his grandson and asked straightforwardly, “Why did you break Zhiheng’s hand?”
“Grandfather.” Lu Zhiheng took the lead and spoke first, as he was filled with indignation. “He did it for that woman named Zi. That woman had not only snatched customers from me, she even threatened me by saying that Second Brother would intervene in the Aerospace industry business.
Our company only got involved in the aerospace industry not long ago and not to mention, Second Brother was the one who handled everything. If he wanted to snatch this over, it would be a piece of cake.”
Patriarch Lu’s expression sank as he heard what Lu Zhiheng said. He then looked at Lu Yunxiao. He knew of his grandson’s temper and so, he said, “You are from the Lu Family, you should not side with outsiders.”
“They are not outsiders.” Lu Jingye imitated Lu Yunxiao’s indifference and firmness to its perfection.
He shut his mouth after he said all that.
Patriarch Lu was angry deep down, but he knew whatever he said was futile and thought of calling Lu Jianlin over the first thing tomorrow morning.
The First Madam wiped her tears and said, “Yunxiao said that Jingye isn’t an outsider, then it means that we are the outsiders. Otherwise, how could he have broken Zhiheng’s hand so easily?
Zhiheng is currently overseeing the company and he is only resting for two to three hours a day. He has been slogging like a cow for the Lu Group, but only to end up with such treatment. For Yunxiao to have done this, he must have been dissatisfied with father’s decision and thus, tried to make Zhiheng unable to concentrate on working. When the time comes, no one would be able to manage the Lu Group, and father you can only call Lu Jingye back again.”
Patriarch Lu flew into a rage at her words. “If he wants to come back, there’s no way he’ll be able to!”
Lu Jingye looked at the cold Patriarch Lu and his heart was calm.
He spoke in a flat tone. “Grandfather, if there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave.”
“You broke my hand and have not given me an explanation. Don’t even think about leaving!”
With Patriarch Lu as his backing, the voice he used to shout at Lu Yunxiao was even louder than normal.
Lu Jingye swept his gaze across Lu Zhiheng with those cold-blooded eyes of his.
Lu Zhiheng’s heart shivered and shrunk his neck as he said, “Are you thinking of breaking my other hand as well? Lu Yunxiao, if you really did that, the Lu Group would be left unattended! You can take over it if you can!”
The First Madam also glared at Lu Yunxiao and she deliberately said in a worried tone, “Yunxiao, Zhiheng is your eldest cousin. Right now, only your eldest cousin is able to take over the Lu Group. With what you’ve done today, how is Zhiheng going to handle the business for the following period of time?”
Lu Jingye looked at both of them and answered, “Then let Eldest Brother take over my men and I’ll manage the company instead..”
