“Dear brother, how could you possibly surpass what grandfather can give me?” Lu Wen smiled lightly.
Although Old Master Lu had stepped down officially, he still controlled a lot of the Lu Family’s resources.
If Lu Wen wanted to obtain these resources, he would have to cooperate with the old man.
“You want to be one man’s puppet, but not me,” Lu Zhao said coldly.
Lu Wen had been very cunning since childhood. Lu Zhao had his guard on high alert.
“Brother, you wound me.” Lu Wen smiled gently. “You know how Grandpa works.”
Old Master Lu enjoyed the power of holding leverage over others to coerce them.
In Lu Zhao’s case, it was his mother. What would Lu Wen’s case be?
“So, the old man poisoned Nancy,” Lu Zhao said.
“Su Su is such a fickle woman. Did she actually tell you everything?” Lu Wen smiled. “That’s right. I remember telling her about Nancy.”
Lu Wen had lived abroad since he was young. His mother was a sex worker. Lu Wen’s birth had been an accident.
The Lu Family refused to associate themselves with Lu Wen. Instead, they let Lu Wen grow up in a place where he lived in debauchery.
Nancy was his childhood friend.
Lu Zhao still remembered him and Lu Wen staying in the same room at the Lu Family’s house.
Sometimes, when he couldn’t sleep at night, Lu Wen would tell Lu Zhao the story of him and Nancy.
“Nancy’s safety is all that matters to me.” Lu Wen’s originally flawless mask momentarily slipped.
He sighed softly. “Brother, you should understand how difficult it is for me.”
For men like them who were raised as wolves in a city of men, they would always struggle to protect their loved ones.
“I know you think the same about Luo Ying.” Lu Wen sighed. “That’s why I hope we can work together.”
“No.” Lu Zhao stared at Lu Wen. “I’ll find my mother myself and protect Luo Ying myself. But if you come near any of us with that poison again, I’ll never let you off.’
Lu Zhao placed the bottle in his hand on the table. There was a faint look of mockery in his eyes. “You can have this back.”
It was the poison bottle that Lu Wen had given Sirius.
“I know your mother’s whereabouts.” Lu Wen seemed a little flustered.
“Brother, why don’t you just give up the company for her?”
Lu Zhao looked at Lu Wen with disappointment in his eyes.
“You should know that I won’t give up on my career. Moreover, if I start handing over the company to you, you’ll let that get over your head. How am I going to walk away alive?” Lu Zhao sneered.
Lu Wen had learned a lot from the old man.
“You want me to give up the company. Then, you’ll use my mother’s whereabouts to get me to work for you. Do you think I’ll fall for that?
“Give it up,” Lu Zhao said coldly. “I can think of a way to work with you to find that poison master’s daughter on account that the two of us used to be brothers.”
Lu Zhao knew that the old man had placed the two of them at odds. No matter what, it was impossible for them to reconcile.
Lu Wen ignored Lu Zhao and stared at the food on the table. He smiled and said, “How can we work together again? Brother, do you think the old man will let the two of us work together?”
Lu Zhao stood up and prepared to leave.
How could someone who had walked out of the Lu Family’s hell remain completely sane?
“Brother, you seem to have forgotten one thing. Your weakness now is not just your mother.” Lu Wen suddenly laughed. “Since you’re not willing to help me, I’ll let you experience the pain I’m experiencing now.”
Lu Zhao’s heart suddenly skipped a beat.
The same situation?
