Lu Zhao shattered that arm.

Lu He and the others were so terrified that their faces turned pale. They hadn’t anticipated Lu Zhao’s prowess in combat.

Lu Zhao calmly straightened his clothes and removed the wrinkles. Without raising his head, he said, “Grandpa, you mentioned discussing matters with

Luo Ying and me, but you never mentioned resorting to violence.”

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 master’s health had deteriorated to such an extent.

“You rascal! Answer me this, why did you kill Lu Wen?” Old Master Lu questioned him.

“Grandpa, there seems to be a misunderstanding. I didn’t intend to kill Lu Wen; he wanted to kill me. I accidentally injured him in self-defense. See, my arm is injured as well,” 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 couldn’t afford to be overly forceful. After all, his primary goal today was to leverage Lu Wen’s death to threaten Lu Zhao and compel him to relinquish the group’s shares.

“You’ve taken a life from the Lu family. The Lu family won’t 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 Wen’s life,” 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.

“Grandpa, what makes you so confident that Lu Wen’s life is worth trading for with my shares?” Lu Zhao questioned.

Lu He, who was seated nearby, couldn’t remain silent any longer. She stood up and exclaimed in a sharp voice, “Lu Zhao, don’t 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.”

Luo Ying couldn’t help but chuckle.

“Why are you laughing?” Lu He snapped.

“I find it amusing, Aunt. Your scheme is quite intricate. The medication you’ve been administering to the old man over the years has accumulated, and its effects should manifest soon. He doesn’t have much time left. Now you’re capitalizing on his vulnerability to demand the shares. When he passes away soon, you can simply reap the rewards of your plan, isn’t that right?” 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 didn’t forget to offer a feeble defense.

“You impudent girl, what nonsense are you spouting? What… What medication? I’ve demonstrated my filial devotion to Old Master over these many years.”

Old Master Lu’s 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 couldn’t believe his ears. How had Luo Ying detected an issue he hadn’t even noticed? Considering Lu He’s reaction and the old man’s health, Luo Yings claim seemed valid.

As expected, Old Master Lu began to interrogate Lu He. “You’ve always been responsible for my daily needs. Could you have tampered with something?”

Lu He turned pale with fear. She hastened to defend herself. “Old Master, you mustn’t believe this deceitful girl’s words. She’s only trying to confuse and incite us with her baseless lies. My devotion to you is clear for all to see.”

Luo Ying sneered, “Aunt, are you not concerned that such words might draw divine retribution? If your claims are true and you’re truly devoted, why did you replace Old Masters personal physician half a year ago? From what I’ve heard, that supposed ‘doctor’ is actually an unscrupulous relative of yours.”

Lu He was utterly shaken.

Old Master Lu’s eyes brimmed with anger as he glared at Lu He.

Indeed, half a year ago, Lu He had replaced Old Master Lu’s personal doctor under the pretense of safeguarding his health. She had even claimed this new doctor was an overseas-trained medical professional..
