Lu Zhao shattered that arm. π―π§ππππππ£π€π«ππ.π¬π€π’
Lu He and the others were so terrified that their faces turned pale. They hadnβt anticipated Lu Zhaoβs prowess in combat.
Lu Zhao calmly straightened his clothes and removed the wrinkles. Without raising his head, he said, βGrandpa, you mentioned discussing matters with
Luo Ying and me, but you never mentioned resorting to violence.β
Old Master Lu was so infuriated that he trembled and suffered another violent bout of coughing.
Even Lu Zhao was taken aback. It had only been half a year since their last meeting, yet the old masterβs health had deteriorated to such an extent.
βYou rascal! Answer me this, why did you kill Lu Wen?β Old Master Lu questioned him.
βGrandpa, there seems to be a misunderstanding. I didnβt intend to kill Lu Wen; he wanted to kill me. I accidentally injured him in self-defense. See, my arm is injured as well,β Lu Zhao pointed to his wounded shoulder. Old Master Lu snorted. This man was still relatively young, but he was proving increasingly challenging to manage.
He couldnβt afford to be overly forceful. After all, his primary goal today was to leverage Lu Wenβs death to threaten Lu Zhao and compel him to relinquish the groupβs shares.
βYouβve taken a life from the Lu family. The Lu family wonβt let that slide. However, considering our long years of history, the Lu family has decided to provide you with an option. You can use the shares of the group to compensate for Lu Wenβs life,β Old Master Lu explained systematically.
Lu Zhao and Luo Ying exchanged knowing glances.
This had been their true objective all along.
Within this family, human lives held no significance in comparison to personal gain.
βGrandpa, what makes you so confident that Lu Wenβs life is worth trading for with my shares?β Lu Zhao questioned.
Lu He, who was seated nearby, couldnβt remain silent any longer. She stood up and exclaimed in a sharp voice, βLu Zhao, donβt be ridiculous. Old Master Lu has already extended considerable courtesy. You should have paid for the murder of Lu Wen with your and Luo Yings lives. The old man merely requested for some financial compensation, yet you still refused.β
Luo Ying couldnβt help but chuckle.
βWhy are you laughing?β Lu He snapped.
βI find it amusing, Aunt. Your scheme is quite intricate. The medication youβve been administering to the old man over the years has accumulated, and its effects should manifest soon. He doesnβt have much time left. Now youβre capitalizing on his vulnerability to demand the shares. When he passes away soon, you can simply reap the rewards of your plan, isnβt that right?β Luo Ying said nonchalantly.
Luo Yings words left everyone present in shock. Lu He was particularly flustered. Her face alternated between red and white, yet she didnβt forget to offer a feeble defense.
βYou impudent girl, what nonsense are you spouting? Whatβ¦ What medication? Iβve demonstrated my filial devotion to Old Master over these many years.β
Old Master Luβs mind was in turmoil. He regarded Lu He skeptically.
Indeed, over the past six months, he had noticed his health deteriorating.
Lu He had always been responsible for his daily care and meals. Was it possible?
Lu Zhao couldnβt believe his ears. How had Luo Ying detected an issue he hadnβt even noticed? Considering Lu Heβs reaction and the old manβs health, Luo Yings claim seemed valid.
As expected, Old Master Lu began to interrogate Lu He. βYouβve always been responsible for my daily needs. Could you have tampered with something?β
Lu He turned pale with fear. She hastened to defend herself. βOld Master, you mustnβt believe this deceitful girlβs words. Sheβs only trying to confuse and incite us with her baseless lies. My devotion to you is clear for all to see.β
Luo Ying sneered, βAunt, are you not concerned that such words might draw divine retribution? If your claims are true and youβre truly devoted, why did you replace Old Masters personal physician half a year ago? From what Iβve heard, that supposed βdoctorβ is actually an unscrupulous relative of yours.β
Lu He was utterly shaken.
Old Master Luβs eyes brimmed with anger as he glared at Lu He.
Indeed, half a year ago, Lu He had replaced Old Master Luβs personal doctor under the pretense of safeguarding his health. She had even claimed this new doctor was an overseas-trained medical professional..
