Lu Yaohua had initially thought that by a stroke of luck, they might have gotten the wrong person.

After the person he sent personally witnessed Lu Ming becoming the new boss, this bit of luck was finally shattered.

He looked at his son with a grave expression.

Tang Wenyi also noticed that something was wrong, so she asked, “Yaohua? What’s wrong? Why do you look so upset? Did something happen?”

“It’s something unfavorable.”

Lu Yaohua sighed and rubbed his temples in a troubled manner.

Tang Wenyi apparently did not take it seriously. She merely said, “How difficult could it be? At most, I’ll get my parents to help you settle it.”

Her parents had formed many connections over the years. They were the ones who helped Lu Yaohua whenever he was in trouble.

After all, their daughter had taken a liking to him. No matter how bad Lu Yaohua was, they had to help him.

Fortunately, Lu Yaohua was ambitious and did not let them worry too much.

After Lu Ze took a bite of his steak, he said, “Speaking of which, I’ve been wanting to go for a drive tonight. I haven’t been out in months.”

“You can’t.”

Tang Wenyi objected right away. “Your body is very frail now. What if you hit someone and have a relapse? You’re my one and only precious son.”

Lu Yaohua coughed and said, “What I want to say is that Lu Ming has become the new major shareholder of Wanke Real Estate. In other words…”

“How is this possible!”

Lu Ze was the first to not believe it. How could that beggar become a big boss?!

He asked doubtfully, “Dad, is this false news that got around?”

“That’s right! That kid is so poor that he doesn’t have any money, so how could he have spare money to buy shares? The news must be wrong!”

Tang Wenyi said bluntly.

Lu Yaohua sighed. “I didn’t believe what Secretary Zhang said yesterday, so I sent someone to check on him this morning. In the end, he saw that kid walk into the company with his own eyes. Those people all called him Chairman.”

Lu Ze slammed the table and said firmly, “That’s impossible! Since when could a beggar become a boss? Didn’t you say that he was just an ordinary university student? You call this ordinary?”

“According to the data, he was barely able to pay for his tuition!”

Tang Wenyi widened her eyes and looked at Lu Yaohua suspiciously. “Yaohua, to be honest, were you still thinking about that woman, so you secretly gave him money?”

Lu Yaohua hurriedly explained, “Don’t you know exactly how much money I have? The moment I use it, won’t you remind me? Besides, how could I be thinking about that person? You’re the one I love most in my life.”

Tang Wenyi nodded assuredly.

If he had used so much money, she would have known immediately.

And Lu Yaohua did not have the guts to do that.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

She thought of another possibility and asked uncertainly, “Did that woman seduce Chairman Wang after you left?”

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that it was possible. “That woman must have had an affair with Chairman Wang. That’s why Wanke is so protective of that bastard!”

Lu Ze felt that this was very possible and agreed. “I knew it. How could a beggar suddenly become a big boss? So that’s how it is!”

Lu Yaohua was skeptical.

He rubbed his chin and said, “These are all guesses now. We still have to investigate the specifics. It’s probably close to the mark.”

“Then can we touch that kid now?”

Lu Ze asked the question he himself was concerned about.

Looking at the food in front of her, Tang Wenyi had no appetite at all. She was consumed with anger!

“We can’t go against Wanke yet, but he won’t last long. He doesn’t have much time to bounce around.”

Lu Ze did not continue.

He cherished his own life very much. In his eyes, Lu Ming was just a living tool.

His days were numbered. Since he couldn’t do it openly, he might as well do it secretly.

After breakfast.

Lu Ze excused himself and left the house.

He walked into an alley in a familiar manner. A few burly men sat smoking on wooden boxes. They had different animal tattoos on their bodies, and they did not look like decent people.

“Brother Xiong.”

The leader spun around with a sharp dagger. “Young Master Lu, we’ve just been bailed out by you and you’ve come over in such a hurry?”

Lu Ze shrugged and said, “There’s a troublesome matter that requires your help. If it is successful, I’ll give you all 5,000,000 yuan. Do you want to do it?”

“Does it involve bloodshed?” Brother Xiong asked.

“Yes.”

Lu Ze did not intend to leave him alive. Initially, he only wanted Lu Ming’s kidney. Since he refused to give it to him, he could not blame him for being uncivil!

“A tool must have the self-awareness of being a tool!” he thought.

Brother Xiong shook his head. “It’s too low. If we get caught again, we’ll probably spend the rest of our lives in prison.”

Lu Ze gritted his teeth. What was money compared to his life?

“10,000,000 yuan! We’ve worked together so many times, it can’t go any higher!”

Brother Xiong extinguished the cigarette butt and said, “On account of your bailing us out, we’ll do the job! Who is it this time?”

“His name is Lu Ming. This is his photo.”

Lu Ze handed him the thing he had prepared beforehand.

Brother Xiong raised his brows. “Surname is Lu as well? Your relative? We can’t afford to offend the Lu family.”

“He’s not from the Lu family!”

Lu Ze said in disgust, “He’s just a bastard left outside by my dad. Don’t worry, my dad and mom hate him.”

Brother Xiong had heard some rumors about these wealthy families. He asked curiously, “Did this person offend you?”

“Right. Save your breath for me. I need his fresh kidney.”

Lu Ze said coldly.

Brother Xiong clicked his tongue in wonder. It was said that imperial families were the most heartless. It seemed to him that even wealthy families were no different.

“Alright, I’ll accept this deal!”

At the same time, while Lu Ming was working, the Superior Selection System suddenly sounded!

[Faced with extermination by your half-brother, Lu Ze, please select one of the following options:

Option 1: Turn a blind eye to it. Reward: Brotherhood.

Option 2: Confront him face to face. Reward: A halo for fierceness.

Option 3: Conceal your strength and wait for your opportunity. Reward: Navy Seal Imperial Shield Personal Bodyguard Company (Function: Protection of personal safety and information security, close combat coach).]

“Extermination?”

Was that what he was thinking?

A cold electronic voice replied, “Yes.”

The sudden reply gave Lu Ming a shock. He thought that the system would only speak when the mission was assigned.

However, no matter what he said next, the system did not answer.

He wondered if it would only speak when he asked about things related to the mission.

At this thought, he said, “I choose option 3.”
