“Sir, it has all been settled . ”

Lu Zhanbei nodded and asked again, “Have you found out who the traitor was?”
He’d been staying in Yun Mansion more often . Ever since Lin Wanwan began staying there for the night, he had strengthened the security measures .
Only insiders would know about the secret passageway that Lu Tao had led his men in .
“It’s Mu Yun from the second guard post . He had over ten years of friendship with one of Lu Tao’s men and thought that since Lu Tao followed Old Master, he wouldn’t hurt Sir, and thus…”
“Stop . ” Lu Zhanbei interrupted him and said indifferently, “Everyone has their own reasons and difficulties . However, I’m not Buddha and am unable to give the opportunity for one to turn back . ”
“Yes, I know what to do . ”
Lu Zhanbei stood up and walked to the window . He looked at the stars and had an expression without any clear meaning .

“Gu Mo, if I kill the old man now, what do you think are my chances of victory?”
“Fifty percent, I guess . Old Master understands Sir’s character and would definitely take some precautions . ”
Lu Zhanbei’s lips curved up slowly into a sinister smile . One look at it and anyone would feel scared . However, his tone was still so gentle .
“Then let’s take action later . I’m not like him, who always likes to play assassination games . If he really forces me to kill him, I will do it . ”
Gu Mo’s heart trembled and he looked down without saying a word .
Lu Zhanbei yawned, and the coldness from his body instantly disappeared without a trace . He waved lazily, “You head back too . I should hug my wife to sleep now . ”
Gu Mo had to hand it to him . Things had not started to take shape yet but he was already calling her his wife .

Yes, indeed, this was Sir . He was far-sighted and… thick-skinned!
The five-star building in the center of the Imperial Capital was known to be the heart of Xia country . The main household of the Lu family was near this heart, and it could be seen how detached a position it had in Xia country .
In the study, Lu Zhengyu was standing in front of the study table . His hand was carrying a writing brush made of weasel’s hair . Following the action of writing, the words “Heavenly Place” were written on the paper .
He seemed to be dissatisfied and obtained another paper to rewrite the characters .
“All dead?” he suddenly asked .
The butler, who was standing by the side, answered respectfully, “Yes . Young Master discovered Lu Tao and threw all their bodies into the moat to feed the fishes . ”

Lu Zhengyu stopped in his movements . The last stroke of the word “heaven” became a blot of ink .
He slammed the writing brush on the table and laughed out of anger .
“Bastard kid! He thinks that his wings have hardened and I can’t manage him anymore? Fu Zhinian’s a good-for-nothing, and so is he! An actress in the entertainment circle actually charmed him to this state!”
After taking a breath, he asked again, “Did any of Lu Zhanbei’s men die from this operation?”
“… No . ”
Not only were there no deaths, no one from Lu Zhanbei lost a single strand of hair .
In contrast, Lu Tao seemed to have died a worthy death .
Lu Zhengyu’s face sank . Just when the butler thought that he would fly into a rage, he suddenly laughed out loud .
“Haha, he’s indeed my son! Give orders to start preparing the banquet . There are so many outstanding women in the Imperial Capital . There’s no reason he wouldn’t fancy any!”
“Wasn’t Old Master the most interested in Ms . Shen?”
Lu Zhengyu frowned . Indeed, he was most interested in Shen Zhiyi . After all, the Shen family was the only one that could fight side by side with the Lu family .
However, after their previous meet up to test water, he realized that there’s more than meets the eye when it came to this daughter from the Shen family .
The two of them had gone in circles . She didn’t reject the proposal, and neither did she agree . Thus, he had to make full preparations .
However, there was no need to explain these to a butler .
“Where is the Missus? Has she slept?”
