Late at night,
In the ancestral hall of Lui Village,
Lu Zhong came into the house in a daze. He looked up at the old man sitting in front of the memorial tablet and couldn't help but hesitate,
"Dad, Second Brother and the others …"
Hearing this,
Lü Ci slowly opened her eyes. Seeing the expression on Lu Zhong's face, she naturally understood that Lu Xiao and the others must be dead.
"Is anyone still alive …"
"…" Lu Zhong answered Lü Ci's question with silence.
"These demons are powerful …" A trace of killing intent flashed in Lü Ci's left eye, but she quickly recovered and said,
"I think the company should have already known what happened. What did those leaders say to you? Do they want our Lü family to be responsible for this matter now?"
"Zhao Fangxu said …" Lu Zhong looked at Lü Ci and shook his head, saying,
"He hopes to see you at the company headquarters tomorrow. He also said that he wants to discuss the specific details with you in the future …"
"Besides …"
At this point,
He began to hesitate again, obviously not knowing whether he should continue.
"Say …" Lü Ci knew what her son was thinking as soon as she looked up, so she reminded him directly,
"Lu Zhong, you have to always remember, no matter what the problem is, as long as it is related to the Lü family, even if it sounds harsh … you have to take it seriously."
"They said …" Seeing this, Lu Zhong naturally didn't dare to hesitate anymore. He immediately recounted the news from the company.
"Our behavior has completely offended Yinggou. The death of Lu Xiao and the others … is a warning to everyone. If you are still afraid that the Lü family will become a thorn in the side in the future, then tomorrow … it is even more necessary to go to the company to discuss with everyone."
"After all …"
"We are also a force that can't be ignored in the circle. As for why we have today's action … the company also said that it is completely understandable."
"Hmph …" Lü Ci heard these words that didn't sound like a threat, but were more threatening than a threat. She couldn't help but subconsciously clench the armrest of the chair, saying,
"If I don't cooperate, are you going to let my Lu Family perish on its own? My Lu Family isn't doing this for selfish reasons, but more so for … They actually pretended not to see it. What a good scheme."
Lu Zhong didn't dare to speak at all. He even shrunk his head, afraid that Lü Ci would vent her anger on him.
On the other side.
When Lü Ci saw Lv Zhong's reaction, she couldn't help but feel a little resentful toward her old son. However, since she didn't have any other better choices, she could only forcefully suppress all the dissatisfaction in her heart.
"That arrogant brat Ji Anzhi … is dead?"
"Zhao Fangxu didn't say anything about this …" Lu Zhong replied.
"However, considering the company's current attitude, Second Brother should have successfully pushed all the responsibility to Ji Anzhi. As for whether that kid is dead or not … I'm not sure yet."
"He's not dead?" Lü Ci couldn't help but feel a little surprised, but she quickly dismissed the possibility after some thought.
"No … that kid should be dead. Otherwise, there's no need for a guy who's full of revenge to insist that everything was his own plan after the operation failed."
"As for the company's current attitude toward my Lu Family …"
"Maybe Lu Xiao 'proved' the Lu Family's innocence before he died, or maybe Zhao Fangxu and the others don't want to lose the power of my Lu Family for the time being. But no matter which one it is … as long as Ji Anzhi is still alive, the Lu Family is very likely to be the only sinner in this operation."
"But …"
At this point,
However, he slowly frowned and thought carefully before saying, "That's right.
"Even if Ji Anzhi is dead, Lu Xiao also proved the Lu Family's innocence before he died, creating a situation where the dead can't testify … With Zhao Fangxu's character, he shouldn't have such an attitude. It's even more impossible for him to pay attention to the power held by the rebels for the sake of the so-called overall situation."
"After all …"
"Once the Lu Family is identified as an unstable factor, the more power they have in their hands, the more they will become a thorn in the side of those people … Just like how the company will never turn around and trust and use those demons to achieve a certain goal."
"In the face of disaster …"
"What those people need is stable and controllable strength. They won't allow any unstable factors. Moreover … the strength that my Lu Family has left is only enough to maintain the foundation of the inheritance. It's far from enough to stand shoulder to shoulder with the other Ten Leaders."
"Unless …"
"There must be a reason for Zhao Fangxu to feel that there is a need for our Lu Family to continue existing, and … it is enough for him to ignore what the Lu Family has done today and be willing to take a huge risk to bet that we will cooperate next."
"Could it be that Second Brother and the others did something?" Lu Zhong couldn't help but wonder.
"Not necessarily …" Lü Ci said thoughtfully.
"I feel that the problem should lie with Ji Anzhi, or that group of all-nature sorcerers led by Yinggou. Lv Xiao and the others … After all, they have done enough in a short period of time. It is hard to imagine that Lv Xiao and Lv Gong could have perfected things to this extent before the operation failed."
When Lu Zhong heard Lü Ci mention Lu Xiao and the others again, even if he didn't value family ties that much, his eyes inevitably dimmed. "Dad, Second Brother and Xiao Gong …"
"Get someone to collect their corpses tomorrow …" Lü Ci said calmly as she shook her head.
"But after bringing them back, don't bury them in the ancestral grave at the back of the mountain. After all, they are sinners who colluded with outsiders and tried to do something for the Lu Family, but failed in the end and almost killed the Lu Family … They don't have the right to be buried in the ancestral grave."
Hearing that.
Lu Zhong couldn't help but look up at Lü Ci, only to find that the old lady's expression was as usual. "This … Isn't this too …"
"It's enough that you know why they died …" Lü Ci shook her head again and interrupted.
"If what they did today succeeded, it would naturally be excellent … No matter what we say, it's reasonable. After all, it can be considered a great contribution."
"But it's a pity that today's matter didn't succeed in the end. Since it failed … then we should try our best to protect the other family members from being affected. I believe that if Lu Xiao and the others knew about it in the netherworld, they would also understand the decision we made."
"And …"
"Let's focus on the matter, not the person …"
"If it was your bloodline who did it today and failed … then you are destined to be like Lu Xiao and the others. You will no longer have the right to be buried in the ancestral grave."
After that.
He looked up at Lu Zhong, who had an ugly expression on his face. On the contrary, because of his son's performance, his gaze softened a little.
"If you think this is too much, then when you become the family leader in the future, when everything is settled, if there's a chance … Come personally to redress Lu Xiao and the others."
"Right now …"
"If we want the Lu Family to continue the family legacy after today's failure … we have no choice."
"Yes …" Lu Zhong's expression eased a little, but when he turned to look at his empty right sleeve, he couldn't help but feel a little lost about the future of the Lu Family.
