My Scheming Little Devil
Chapter 1318: The Grudge of Blood Relatives
Strike first now, and confound the godfather’s plans; though rash and dangerous, this move leaves the sly godfather with no way out.
"Alright, but I must tell you something bad; this sentence of yours will affect your inheritance rights," Hua Lunxi said seriously.
Ye Lu was surprised and puzzled: "Why?"
"You have your reasons for acting as you do, but among the Hua Clan’s shareholders, they can use your improper and inappropriate remarks as an excuse to attack you. Ivanov and Yiren will stop at nothing for the sake of inheritance rights. Believe that during this time, they have also had plenty of contacts with the shareholders. With the appearance of you as an heir tonight, they’re likely to be pressed into a desperate corner and start fighting with you within the group," Hua Lunxi said with a solemn expression.
After all, the internal workings of the group are very complex, and Ye Lu has just arrived and is at a significant disadvantage compared to Yiren.
Ye Lu furrowed her brows, yet shook her head: "They have no choice but to think I’m reckless, but I have to fall out with Su Feiman; otherwise, my situation is also very dangerous. As for their thoughts, I will go and reverse them. Does a first impression determine whether I am less qualified to inherit than Yiren?"
Hua Lunxi nodded, with things already having taken place, it no longer made sense to consider whether it was right to oppose Su Feiman.
"Alright, over the years, I’ve also formed many connections with the veterans in the group. I will do my best to persuade them to stand on your side."
Ye Lu looked at him gratefully; as a sudden airborne force, without Hua Lunxi, it’s feared that no matter what, the Hua Clan’s people wouldn’t acknowledge her.
Then, she thought of something.
She remembered visiting Hua Linqi’s grave.
"Right, you mentioned before that although Father died of illness, it was actually because he had been ambushed by assassins several times over the past half year and shot, which caused his health to deteriorate rapidly, leading to his death," she said.
Hua Lunxi’s expression turned chilling with hatred: "Yes, if it weren’t for that fatal shot, my uncle’s illness wouldn’t have worsened so severely. At the very least he could have lived to see you today. That detestable person, it wasn’t their first attempt to ambush my uncle. Over the past few years, there were several assassination attempts, but because of my uncle’s vigilance, he had managed to escape each time. However, the adversary refused to let it go and finally succeeded!"
"My father was so renowned, weren’t the origins of those people investigated? No clues at all?"
Her father was also a well-known figure; the Hua family could employ a top-notch investigative team. Yet, they failed to uncover the assassin.
Hua Lunxi bitterly laughed: "It was uncle’s wish not to pursue the investigation, so many traces were destroyed, and he purposely concealed it, naturally thwarting our efforts. But, considering someone was powerful and influential enough for uncle to fear and not wish us to investigate, it suggests that exposing their true identity could lead to retaliatory destruction against us. That’s why uncle preferred to bury all the secrets."
Shock rippled through Ye Lu’s heart; what kind of person could instill such wariness in her father.
Nevertheless, no matter how dangerous, how could the vengeance for a blood relative not be avenged; under no circumstances could she let the person who killed her father get away scot-free.
"I don’t believe this matter is without any trace. As long as there’s a perpetrator, there must be a slightest trace left. Even if there are no clues, we will create them ourselves," Ye Lu said, her eyes flickering with cunning.
Hua Lunxi’s gaze shifted: "Create clues, what do you mean?"
