Divine Doctor and His CEO Wife-Chapter 272: Lu Family Compromises
"What?"
Everyone in the Lu Family was dumbfounded upon hearing this.
Chen Yidao and Ye Chanlong were both super strong at the peak of the Hua Realm!
Without a Great Grandmaster, who could suppress them?
Now, they’re actually captured by Chen Xiao?
They rushed over to look, and found it to be true.
Chen Yidao and Ye Chanlong, along with Li Xianqun, were tightly bound there!
Seeing this scene, everyone was stunned.
Lu Xingzhou took a deep breath and dialed Lu Rugao’s phone, "Ruge, what’s the situation on your side right now?"
Lu Rugao’s pretty face turned pale, remaining silent for a long time.
Finally, a young voice came from the other end of the line, "Lu Family Head, if your Lu Family wants to suppress me with force, I’m afraid that way won’t work."
"If you want me to release Lu Rugao and your family’s three Guest Elders...send someone who has a say. I’ll give you one day, no more."
"If I don’t see your sincerity after a day, I won’t be polite."
"Lu Rugao will die."
"The three High-ranked Guests will die too."
"As for your Lu Family’s 250 billion tied up in the stock market, I’ll gladly take it."
"You’ve seen today’s situation too. Your funds are locked in the stock market. I can take as much as I want; today it’s 30 billion, tomorrow it will be 50 billion."
"I don’t mind putting the Lu Family in despair."
Lu Xingzhou took a deep breath, "Young man, what is it exactly that you want?"
Chen Xiao chuckled softly, "My senior sister should have already asked the Lu Family, Lu Family Head, given how smart you are, you should have guessed it?"
Mysterious Yin Pearl!
Lu Xingzhou’s eyelid twitched violently.
He wanted to say something else, but Chen Xiao had already hung up the phone.
Calling back, he couldn’t get through anymore.
Lu Xingzhou’s face suddenly turned grim.
And the other members of the Lu Family didn’t look any better.
Lu Xingzhou said, "You all saw it just now. Our Lu Family’s plan to suppress this young man with force...has failed."
When he said this, he looked as though he aged several years in an instant.
Lu Xingfeng’s face was dark, "What is it that this fellow wants?"
"Mysterious Yin Pearl." Lu Xingzhou took a deep breath.
The entire Lu Family’s core members were shocked; they didn’t expect Chen Xiao’s aim to be the Mysterious Yin Pearl.
The Mysterious Yin Pearl is so precious that the Lu Family regards it as a treasured inheritance for generations.
"No way! Absolutely not!"
"We can’t give this kid the Mysterious Yin Pearl!"
"Right, it’s a treasure of our Lu Family, though it might not be worth hundreds of billions, it’s rare in this world, how can it be given to this kid?"
Everyone opposed vehemently.
Lu Xingzhou replied coldly, "Then what’s your solution?"
As soon as he said this, everyone fell silent.
Indeed, they had no solution!
Lu Xingfeng said, "Big brother! This mess was caused by Rugao, she should bear the responsibility!"
"Really?" Lu Xingzhou sneered, "If I let her bear it alone, she dies, do you think that 250 billion will come back?"
"Our Lu Family invested one billion, will it come back?"
He aggressively stared at Lu Xingfeng, "Second Brother, unless you’re willing to cover this money for the Lu Family?"
Lu Xingfeng’s face went pale.
Indeed, the mess was created by Lu Rugao.
But can the Lu Family really detach itself?
The Lu Family itself invested one billion, though it is wealthy, losing one billion hurts!
And the 1.5 billion Lu Rugao borrowed, even if she dies, the creditors will count it as the Lu Family’s debt. If the Lu Family still wants to thrive in Divine Land, this debt can’t be evaded!
Such huge funds, if lost.
Lu Family will immediately fall out of the Five Great Families!
Moreover, if Lu Family loses this much money, other families will not miss the chance to bite them!
When the nest is overturned, no egg is left unbroken.
Lu Xingzhou snorted coldly and stared at Lu Xingfeng, "I know some people want Rugao dead, but her death won’t solve any problem."
"Moreover, the three High-ranked Guests are our Lu Family’s trump cards. Without their protection, our Lu Family will be handled gradually."
"And most importantly...250 billion!"
"The Mysterious Yin Pearl is rare and precious, but does it outweigh three High-ranked Guests and 250 billion?"
"Now, I’m giving you the decision. Agree to his terms to save them, or don’t, it’s your choice. I need an answer in an hour."
"Oh, and a reminder, that young man also has ties to Leng Baiyu!"
With that, he turned and left.
The members of the Lu Family looked at each other and turned to Lu Xingfeng.
Lu Xingzhou dumped the problem onto Lu Xingfeng, doubling the pressure on him.
But he...what could he do?
Could he think of a better solution?
Even if Lu Rugao dies, giving his offspring the chance to become the new leader of Lu’s next generation, controlling the Lu Family, would others agree?
That 250 billion is the entire Lu Family’s asset; it concerns everyone’s interests!
If he wants to resist other people’s will.
Will they continue to support him?
Moreover...after this incident, Lu Rugao has no prestige or threat left. Even if she returns, the Lu Family members won’t support her anymore.
The choice is clear.
With this thought, he spoke to everyone, "Mysterious Yin Pearl is important, but people are more important! I agree with my brother’s approach, give the Mysterious Yin Pearl for ransom."
"However, I have one condition."
"That is...from today, Lu Jue will be the CEO of Lu Corporation."
"Why?" A cold laugh sounded, "Second Brother, in terms of achievements over the years, my family Lu Jiang also did well, didn’t he? Why make Lu Jue CEO?"
"At the very least, give the two juniors a chance to compete."
"Otherwise...who would comply?"
Lu Family’s Third Brother, Lu Xingcheng replied coldly.
His comment won some agreement from others.
Lu Xingfeng took a deep breath and sighed helplessly.
Indeed, although Lu Jue is excellent, he hasn’t reached the level of Lu Rugao before, overwhelming other young generations, and Lu Jiang also has the capacity to compete with her.
But this was the best he could do.
Lu Rugao lost power, at least Lu Jue has a chance.
"So for this negotiation, let’s send both Lu Jue and Lu Jiang over together."
Weighing the pros and cons, everyone in Lu Family quickly reached a unanimous agreement—
To bow to Chen Xiao.
Though somewhat humiliating.
They were already pushed to the brink.
They couldn’t afford to truly lose 250 billion!
The prestigious Lu Family, one of the Five Great Families in Capital City, was forced into such a situation by a young lad for the first time! A total loss of face!
Still, losing face is secondary; that gigantic 250 billion must not be lost!
They could only swallow the bitter pill!
