“Aah!”
The uncle fell heavily onto the floor . He wailed as he rolled backward .
“This is against the law!” Beside him, veins popped on his son’s forehead . He seemed ready to charge in .
However, he was immediately hit with a punch to his belly . He immediately doubled over, and could not say anything else . Several other guards walked up to him and pinned him down .
“Although the master didn’t say anything, we, as his subordinates, know what we should or shouldn’t do . ” The big and tall man glanced at the two suppressed people on the ground with disdain .
“A bunch of idiots who don’t know the immensity of the heavens . Ai Li, let’s go . ”
“Shall we kill them?”
“Just remove one hand from each of them . We shouldn’t overdo it . ”
“No! You can’t! Department chief Gao is my sworn brother! You can’t— ah!”
Blood splattered on the ground . The fat man’s arm was forcibly raised .
At the sight of this, Lin Shengya and the others were terrified . They felt cold all over . They had been looking down on Lu Sheng before this . However, they did not expect him to be able to summon this many men here .
Zhuo Xinxin’s mother was ghastly pale . She grasped her niece’s hand tightly, and softly asked, “Little Ya… What’s the meaning of this?”
“I… I don’t know…” Ling Shengya felt her brain go numb . Her heart raced, but she was filled with puzzlement .
Then, they suddenly remembered someone who had to know about the details behind this .
Everyone’s gaze was immediately focused on Zhuo Siqing, who was lying on the bed .
“Don’t look at me . I don’t even know what got into Little Yu . ” Zhuo Siqing was still in a daze . He had yet to process the recent happenings .
One second he was in dire straits and helpless, and the next instant he completely turned the tides on the situation . He felt as if he was dreaming . He was still in a daze .
“Alright . ” Between the two people who walked in, the leading man suddenly clapped his hands with a smile .
“There’s no need to make wild guesses . Ordinary people have no right to know the master’s identity . As for the master’s father, it’s not our place to meddle in your affairs . If the master wanted to tell you all the insider information, he wouldn’t have kept it from you for so long . ”
Zhuo Siqing nodded slightly with a bitter smile .
“However, you’re dealing with the most troublesome Zhao Family in the city… Little Yu shouldn’t act too rashly . I hear that the Zhao Family has strong ties with the military . We can’t—”
“Zhao Family?” The man suddenly snorted . “The Zhao Family is nothing . ”
Zhuo Siqing and the others were shocked . Lin Shengya’s gaze flickered . She carefully studied the outfits of these people . She seemed to have thought of something, and her beautiful eyes bulged .
Lu Sheng was studying an information sheet downstairs . He was fidgety .
This matter had been caused by his own carelessness . He’d initially thought that his father would be fine even though he was not a person who knew how to navigate society’s circles, since he was now the decision maker for the Zhuo Family . However, he did not expect someone else to make a move against him behind the scenes .
After a dozen minutes or so, the Zhao Family members nearest to this area were already brought here by the troops of black guards .
Everyone was gathered in the small plaza of the neighborhood .
The other residents hid away in their own homes . They shut their curtains, and were too afraid to watch .
There were some who wanted to record the happenings with their phones, but they were immediately dragged out into the streets and clobbered up by the black guards . They were all heavily injured, unconscious, and thrown back into their houses .
Since then, none of the others dared to make video recordings anymore .
Lu Sheng waited for a while before the building . The anger he felt within had subsided somewhat .
The leader of the guards, Hong Shenlu, walked up to him and whispered in his ear . “These are all the people we were able to capture . They’re all from the branch family . The main family is located near the central government building . If we make a direct move, the impact will be too huge…”
“Imbecile!” Lu Sheng smacked Hong Shenlu on the head . “If you can’t do it, can’t you send someone else who can? The police, the army, special forces, anyone of them would’ve done the job!”
“Understood!” Hong Shenlu was suddenly enlightened . He hastily went away .
Lu Sheng glanced at the Zhuo Family members gathered below .
There were male and female members of all ages . Most of them wore nice clothes . When they gathered here, they appeared to be having some sort of party on the plaza .
“How many more?”
“The main family is further away . There was some delay in our deployment…” Hong Shenlu started with slight hesitation . “Also, we’ve found out who acted against your father . ”
“Who was it?”
“The city’s real estate tycoon, Zhao Hanfeng’s younger brother, Zhao Longkui . ”
“Forget it, I’ll head over myself . ” A killing intent flashed across Lu Sheng’s eyes .
“Also, move my father to the intensive care unit of the best hospital in the area . Pick one of the family members who has some sense to help me differentiate these people, otherwise I won’t know who’s who with the assortment of rubbish from the main family,” Lu Sheng added in a cold tone .
“Understood!”
The Zhuo Family .
Deputy mayor Hols savored the black tea in his hand . He narrowed his eyes as he listened to the Zhuo Family’s second master recount the recent troubles affecting the family .
“So, you’re telling me that you don’t know who’s making this move against you? Did the Zhao Family give you a heads-up before this?” Hols had made a name for himself from nothing . He was an average public servant who climbed up the ranks all the way to become the central city’s deputy mayor who hold great power . The Zhuo Family had supported him all the way .
They were linked in countless ways . It was impossible for them to be separated .
Zhuo Xincheng stroked his white beard .
“An hour ago, the branch family has been cleaned up . They did not seem to be friendly . Hols, I’ll need you to put more effort into the city’s police . The Zhuo Family’s annual contributions can’t mean nothing . ”
“That’s only natural . This is a public breach of federal law . For the case at the branch family, I’ll have the department chief Gao Yan look into this!” Hols nodded .
“If you can provide us with more clues, it’ll be greatly helpful in the investigations . ” He displayed an official smile .
As for what he meant by clues, the two of them clearly knew that he meant donations—more money .
Zhuo Xincheng muttered to himself for a while . “50,000,000 . I speak on behalf of the Zhuoyue Tiancheng parent company that we’ll donate 50,000,000 as incentives to the police department . ”
“Thank you, Elder Zhuo . ” Hols’s smile immediately grew warmer .
Zhao Family . Molin Road, Mansion #11 .
A soothing music played by a small band reverberated in the background .
The mansion was having an afternoon music party .
Young men and women with close relations with the Zhao Family were having idle conversations in the hall as they enjoyed the snacks and tea provided . The atmosphere was casual and comfortable .
With a click, the door was suddenly opened . Young men with burly physiques marched in .
Zhao Longkui was sitting with his legs crossed . He wielded a shining silver dagger in his hands while he spoke with another person . When he saw the sudden intrusion of the newcomers, he was stunned .
“Who’s Zhao Longkui?” demanded one of the men in a cold voice .
“Who are you!?”
“Bam!”
Lu Sheng walked up to him and kicked .
“Bam!”
Zhao Longkui reeled and crashed onto the wall under the window . His bones gave crisp cracking sounds . It was unsure how many of them had been broken . Then, he lay limply on the floor, and could no longer move .
He did not even have the time to cry out . He was still terrified and puzzled with the development .
“Take him away . ”
Lu Sheng did not even look at the lords and ladies in the room .
“Nobody’s allowed to enter or exit this place in half an hour . ” Lu Sheng turned around and went out the door without looking back .
“Understood!” Two men in black barred the door with their bodies as they responded with their heads lowered .
Two other men went in and carried Zhao Longkui out .
The others were flabbergasted . They did not expect there to be anyone bold enough to strike Zhao Longkui in broad daylight here in Kunming City, where the Zhao Family’s hold was the strongest .
When Zhao Longkui was carried away, a few young men intended to stop them . However, two men in black came up and gave them a slap each, which landed them on the floor .
The others then became too terrified to even speak .
“You dare hit me!? You dare hit me in Kunming City!?” Zhao Longkui’s face was swollen on one side . He was still seething through his eyes as he glared at Lu Sheng before himself .
“Don’t you know that I have the power to stop every one of you from leaving Kunming City in half an hour!?” he threatened in a hardened tone .
Lu Sheng narrowed his eyes and glanced at the man .
“You’re not the only who’s laid a finger on Zhuo Siqing, am I right?”
“Zhuo Siqing? You mean that hothead?” Zhao Longkui sneered scornfully . “So, you’re from the Zhuo Family . You’ve got guts, I’ll give you that . Looks like the resource agreement before this isn’t enough to teach you guys a lesson .
“I’ll advise you to let me go right now . At most, my brother will demand a compensation from you . This matter can be settled by some money and benefits . Otherwise… Heheh . You’ve tarnished the Zhao Family’s face, don’t even think about patching up this quarrel . You, you, and you!” He pointed at the men in black .
“You might not be afraid of dying, but you have close friends and people that you cherish . If you really lay hands on me, they’re all going to die!”
All of a sudden, Zhao Longkui wore a fierce expression, and his tone became sinister and ruthless .
Lu Sheng looked at him with a calm expression . He suddenly smiled and clapped his hands .
Hong Shenlu brought someone familiar up to him .
“Master, she’s the most cooperative one . ”
Shen Honglu shifted to the left to allow the girl behind him to step forward .
“Zhenyu, what’re you trying to do!? You’ll jeopardize the Zhuo Family and your father! Even if you’re influential outside, the main Zhuo Family is still in the federation . We can’t run!” Lin Shengya recognized Zhao Longkui with a single glance even though his face was swollen . She immediately felt terrified, and quickly asked Lu Sheng to stop .
Zhao Longkui looked at Lin Shengya and suddenly sneered sinisterly . “Lin Shengya? You’ve done it this time . Your entire Zhuo Family has done it this time!”
“What’re you smiling about?”
“Bam!”
Lu Sheng smacked Zhao Longkui across the face . The latter somersaulted in the air from the impact before crashing heavily into a vase at the side . He immediately spat out a mouthful of blood . He was now seriously injured, and was about to die .
Lin Shengya wanted to scream, but her mouth and nose were immediately covered by a woman in black from behind .
She struggled desperately, but the woman was too strong . Her palm did not even budge .
“I can’t determine if he’s alive or dead . ” Shen Honglu glanced at Zhao Longkui who was dying, and shook his head helplessly .
He swiftly walked up to Lu Sheng and whispered in his ear .
“What?” With a few words, Lu Sheng started to laugh from extreme anger .
“He’s kneeling outside,” Hong Shenlu spoke softly .
“Ignore him . Lin Shengya, bring me to the main Zhuo Family . ” Lu Sheng pointed at Lin Shengya . His way of doing things had always been despotic rather than benevolent .
It was true that he would be able to gather and unite everyone’s strength together if he ruled benevolently . However, that would take too much time .
A despotic rule was much faster . Nothing would be a problem as long as he was strong enough .
“I won’t go!” Lin Shengya was released . However, her first words were not cooperative .
“I can’t look on as you drag the entire Zhuo Family into the abyss!” She panted heavily as she glared at Lu Sheng .
