Lu Zhao sat up in bed while instinctively wrapping his arms around Luo Ying to shield her. He spoke angrily, “What’s going on? Why the dramatic entrance?
Has my home turned into a free-for-all for uninvited guests?”
“Young Master Lu, I apologize for the intrusion. We’re acting upon Old Master’s wishes,” the butler said in a slick tone.
“What does the old man want from me?” Lu Zhao snapped.
Though he knew that killing Lu Wen would inevitably lead to this, the forceful invasion still left him deeply angered.
“Old Master wants you and Miss Luo to visit the ancestral residence. He wishes to discuss matters with both of you,” the butler stated as his eyes leered at Luo Ying.
Lu Zhao gently pushed Luo Ying behind him and stated firmly, “l can go, but
Luo Ying stays.”
“Mr. Lu, please spare us the complications. He wants all of you to come over. If you refuse, I might have to resort to harsh methods,” the butler threatened as his tone turned menacing. His underlings understood his intentions and menacingly approached Luo Ying with sinister grins.
“We’ll see who dares!” Lu Zhao jumped off the bed and shielded Luo Ying securely.
“You don’t have to abduct me. 1 1 m coming,” Luo Ying calmly responded from behind.
Lu Zhao turned to look at Luo Ying. He was taken aback by her unwavering determination.
“Well, Madam Lu here is the voice of reason. Please, both of you,” the butler grinned and revealed his discolored teeth.
“This journey is risky. You shouldn’t accompany me into danger,” Lu Zhao worriedly told Luo Ying.
While gently resting her hand on his shoulder, Luo Ying affirmed him, “l can’t let you face danger alone again. This time, I must stand by your side no matter what.’
With that, she held Lu Zhao’s hand and led the way out.
At the Lu family ancestral residence, nearly everyone had gathered for a heated discussion about Lu Wen’s murder.
“Lu Zhao has truly crossed the line. How dare he harm his own brother,” Lu He’s voice was shrill and resembled that of a monkey.
“Absolutely, Grandfather has been too soft on him. In hindsight, this outsider wolf cub is simply immature,” Hu Jing sneered.
“In my opinion, this whole affair was probably manipulated by that vixen, Luo Ying. Look at her. She’s been involved with numerous men and shamelessly seducing them. Now she’s inciting Lu Zhao to kill his own flesh and blood,” Lu He shook his head. His words were filled with disdain.
“Indeed, when they arrive, we must interrogate them thoroughly. Why don’t they take Grandfather seriously? Killing members of the Lu Family so openly is a direct affront to his dignity,” Hu Jing echoed.
“Enough! Silence!” Old Master Lu angrily struck his cane on the ground. It was quickly followed by a fit of violent coughing. Lu He and Hu Jing exchanged glances and fell quiet.
The butler hurriedly entered and bowed with a smile. “Master, Lu Zhao and
Luo Ying have arrived.”
Old Master Lu let out a cold snort and directed, “Let these two in. I have much to ask them.”
Lu Zhao and Luo Ying entered the hall. Lu Zhao’s face still bore the slight pallor of pain. However, in the presence of the Lu family, he straightened his posture and lifted his head to project confidence. He knew tonight would be a battle.
“You shameless wretch, kneel!” Old Master Lu’s voice was raspy with anger.
Lu Zhao cast a disdainful glance and replied, “You’re still alive, so there’s no need for me to kneel. I’ll consider kneeling and offering paper once you’re dead.’
Old Master Lu’s fury was evident in the trembling of his beard. He commanded the butler, “Deal with this ungrateful troublemaker.”
“Yes, Niaster,” the butler flexed his fists. When they forcefully entered the house, he had noticed Lu Zhao’s injured shoulder. He assumed that subduing an injured person would be a simple task.
Yet, he had vastly underestimated Lu Zhao’s combat skills.
As he reached out, Lu Zhao tightly grabbed his arm with his uninjured one and expertly twisted it.
“Ah!” The butler let out a pained cry. His arm fell limp..
