The news of Lu Zhiheng collapsing all of a sudden, and Patriarch Lu personally visiting the company to preside over the overall situation, soon spread throughout the high-society circle.
It was said that Patriarch Lu had lost his temper in the company.
There were people who lamented, those who felt pity, and also those who waited to see a joke happen.
Everyone thought that there were already numerous matters happening in the Lu Family, but unexpectedly, Patriarch Lu was summoned by the different military authorities.
‘When Patriarch Lu came out of the building, there was no need to mention how ugly his expression was.
‘The moment he returned to the main residence, he immediately came looking for his third son and with a livid expression, he asked, “I asked you to dispatch the military supplies, but what have you done these past two days?”
The Third Master felt wronged. “Father, I am not knowledgeable in this aspect and if you force me to dispatch the supplies, I would definitely make a mistake.”
Between making a mistake and not dispatching the military supplies, the Third Master felt that it was safer to choose the latter.
Patriarch Lu’s expression darkened even further. At his current age, he still had to get reprimanded by someone younger than him and he felt unhappy deep down.
He immediately ordered. “You shall go to the Southern Ocean and exchange places with your Second Brother.”1
The Third Master froze for two seconds before he quickly stood at attention. “I understand!”
As long as he was not asked to do tasks like dispatching military supplies, which he was completely incapable of, he would certainly not push away the job of fighting in a war.
After the Third Master answered Patriarch Lu, he immediately tuned around and headed for the door.
Patriarch Lu looked at the departing back view, but his expression was still rather ugly. He then said to the housekeeper, “Go and call for the eldest.”
‘The Eldest Master rushed back from the hospital in haste.
“Father.”
Patriarch Lu looked at him and said, “You shall take charge of the Lu Group for the time being.”
‘The Eldest Master got a fright and he hastily said, “Father, I can’t take over the company.”
Patriarch Lu’s expression sank. “There’s nothing you can’t manage. What’s more, you are only taking care of it for the time being. When Zhiheng is discharged from the hospital, you can hand over the company to him.”
Upon hearing that his father still wanted to hand over the company to his son, his heart trembled and even his expression turned ugly.
“Father, Zhiheng is incapable of managing such a large company like the Lu Group.”

Patriarch Lu furrowed his eyebrows and glanced at him with his pair of eagle-like, sharp eyes. He then said in an overbearing tone, “Since I said he can manage it, he will be able to manage it. I’m tired, you can leave now.”
He turned around and walked towards his bedroom.
‘The Eldest Master looked at Patriarch Lu’s back view with his mouth open. In the end, he left in an unhappy mood.
‘When the First Madam knew of Patriarch Lu’s arrangements, she directly burst into tears. “Is father planning to force our family to death? Zhiheng is already in such a state and he’s still making you take over the Lu Group. Not to mention, Zhiheng still has to continue and take over the company after he’s
discharged? 1
Does he even treat Zhiheng as his grandson? My son is still lying in the hospital right now and he didn’t even utter a single word of concern for him. To think he even made such arrangements. Wu… wuuu…”
‘The Eldest Master was extremely annoyed and he looked at her with a livid expression. “Wasn’t this what you people wanted?”

Having said that, he turned around and left the hospital.
‘The First Madam instantly regretted what she had done.
She didn’t know that her son was incapable of managing the Lu Group and in the end, he had even overworked himself and harmed his health.
Hot Springs Villa.
Zi Yi woke up late on the second day.
‘The moment she opened her eyes, she saw Lu Jingye seated on the single-seater sofa next to her and the curtains in the room were drawn. There was a laptop on his lap and he was currently staring at the screen.
Lu Jingye sensed her line of vision and he looked up at her.
Upon noticing that she was awake, he moved his laptop to one side and opened the curtains before bringing her clothes over.
While putting on her clothes, she asked, “What time is it now?”
“8:30 a.m.”
“Tslept for such a long time?”
“Not really.”
Indeed, Zi Yi did not sleep for a long time. The consequence of her provocation last night was that they had exercised until rather late before they slept.

She felt a little sore and Zi Yi puffed her cheeks as she stared at him with an expression of discontentment.
Lu Jingye propped himself with his hands on the edge of the bed and leaned over to kiss her rosy lips. There were traces of a smile in his voice. “Are you hungry?”
‘The moment Lu Jingye asked that question, Zi Yi’s stomach started growling in a timely manner.
Zi Yi looked at him with a pitiful look.
Lu Jingye could not bear to see such an expression. “Breakfast is on the table in the living room. Go and wash up first while I’l bring it over for you.”
“Alright.”
When Zi Yi finished getting dressed and headed to the washroom to wash up, Lu Jingye headed for the living room.
By the time she came out, Lu Jingye just happened to have finished his call and he put away his phone.
He turned around and walked over to the dining table. Breakfast was mushroom porridge and several side dishes.
While Zi Yi was having breakfast, Lu Jingye told her. “My first brother was hospitalized.”

Zi Yi’s chopsticks stopped moving for a second and she immediately gloated. “He deserved
Lu Jingye did not respond and he changed the topic after that. “Ian should be arriving around 10 a.m.”
“He has arrived in the capital already?”
“He has just alighted from the plane.”
Zi Yi nodded her head and then buried her head while she continued drinking her porridge.
After Zi Yi finished her breakfast. Lu Jingye put away the utensils in a basket before he brought them outside. Soon, he returned with a small basket of fruits.
Zi Yi walked over and picked up an apple. She took a bite and said, “Let’s have a video call with Elder Hu and check up on your younger brother’s condition.”
“Alright.”
Zi Yi finished the apple and pressed the wristwatch.
A virtual screen immediately appeared before their eyes.
Coincidentally, Elder Hu arrived at where Lu Yunxiao was to give him a routine check.
After he connected the video call, there was a smile on his face.
“Elder Hu.”
Zi Yi and Lu Jingye called out at the same time.
Elder Hu smiled and nodded. “I was just about to do a check on the Third Young Master. Since Little Zi is here, let’s do it together.”
“Alright.”
Elder Hu was responsible for doing the check while Zi Yi directly connected to the control panel on the other side to check the data.
‘The two of them spent half an hour to complete the check and they both revealed a smile afterwards.
Elder Hu said with a smile, “The Third Young Master’s physical condition is good and coupled with his strong survival instincts, the regeneration rate of his brain cells is twice as fast compared to the other patient that we had experimented on in advance.”
Zi Yialso revealed a smile. “From the looks of it, Yunxiao will regain his consciousness very soon.”
“Haha… as long as the Third Young Master becomes conscious, he will wake up very soon.”
“That’s right.” Zi Yi nodded her head. She turned around and looked at Lu Jingye who had unconcealable joy on his face. She said, “If Yunxiao regains his consciousness, we will be able to have a conversation with him through his brain waves.”
“Really? Lu Jingye and Elder Hu looked at her in shock.
“Yes. However, it can only be a simple conversation. If we wish to ask him what happened before, we can only wait until all his brain cells are regenerated.”
Lu Jingye held her hand agitatedly. “It’s alright as long as we can talk to him.”
After such a long period of treatment, the only thing Lu Jingye hoped, for now, was that his younger brother could wake up.
As long as he was still alive, everything else was insignificant.
Zi Yi nodded her head and continued chatting with Elder Hu for a while more before she turned off the virtual screen.
Following that, they went outside. Zi Yi suddenly thought of something and she asked, “How is it on Zhang Hanyu’s side?”
Lu Jingye told her. “I’ve got my men to prepare some evidence and it should have already been sent to him..”
