"What do you think about this matter, Lu Yan? Do you feel you can handle it?"
Lu Ding Tian asked with a smile. At this point, could I say I couldn't? Even though staying with Qing Gang would be the best for me, I had no choice left.
Moreover, I still had feelings for Tian Ye Group; after all, that was where I grew up, and I missed many things from there.
I readily agreed, and just like that, the matter was settled pleasantly. After finalizing our plans, we went to Lu Ding Tian's villa for a meal. As we were leaving in the evening, I unexpectedly saw a familiar face standing at the entrance!
It was Liu Zi!
It was the long-lost Liu Zi! What was he doing at the Lu Family's door? When did he start mingling with them?
Of course, Liu Zi didn't recognize me. He was there waiting for Lu Xian and looked like he was one of Lu Xian's lackeys.
After Lu Xian arrived, my curiosity got the better of me, and I asked Lu Fei, "Brother, how come I've never seen that guy who was just with you?"
Lu Fei paused in surprise; it seemed he didn't expect me to take an interest in one of his subordinates.
I had previously been involved with a woman who seemed to be his girlfriend.
I grinned and casually made up a story. During my time in Shanghai, I had encountered so many women—hundreds at a party—that I could easily forget details without raising suspicion from Lu Fei.
"Ah! So that's it! That guy is just your brother's dog. You could play with his woman right in front of him!" Lu Fei said boldly, displaying his usual arrogance and lack of taste.
I continued to inquire about the woman who claimed to like Liu Zi, curious about what made him special. Lu Fei then informed me that Liu Zi had been working under Lu Xian for about half a year now. How he got involved with Lu Xian was unknown to him, but Liu Zi often went on business trips for Lu Xian to check on the Lu Family's interests in Australia.
That was all Lu Fei knew. It had been over six months since Liu Zi and I had fallen out, which meant he must have joined Lu Xian shortly after leaving me.
But honestly, it didn't matter much; as Lu Fei said, Liu Zi was merely Lu Xian's dog now—what kind of storm could he stir up?
What intrigued me was why Lu Xian would take Liu Zi under his wing. If Liu Zi hadn't proven himself somehow, there was no way he could have become such a close aide in just six months.
What kind of proof did Liu Zi provide? It certainly wasn't related to me; that wouldn't be worth anything.
For now, I couldn't figure this out, and since I needed to leave Qing Gang Law Enforcement Hall soon, it seemed Liu Zi's situation would have to wait for another time. As for Liu Zi—who betrayed me and even tried to get close to Linna—I wouldn't let him have an easy time wherever he went.
I spent several days at Qing Gang during which Lu Fei provided me with quite a few people for safety reasons due to the chaos at Tian Ye Group.
I understood this was merely a way for Lu Fei to keep an eye on me, but I didn't mind much. However, the day before my departure, Lu Xian surprisingly sent someone my way as well.
This person piqued my interest.
"Third Brother," he said, "this is my little brother Hao. He's quite capable and smart; take him with you to Tian Ye Group—he can help you brainstorm ideas."
At my farewell banquet at Lu Ding Tian's home, Lu Xian cheerfully introduced Liu Zi to me and suggested I bring him along to Tian Ye Group.
Now that caught my attention!
Liu Zi actually dared to return to Tian Ye Group?
That was rather strange; even though Xiang Dong was dead and his brothers had left Tian Ye Group, there were still quite a few people there who knew Liu Zi—how could he go back?
What does this mean?
Him? Let him go too?
Lu Ding Tian was somewhat surprised upon hearing this, and from his expression, it seemed he knew about Liu Zi's past identity.
Yes, Dad, Hao is one of Tian Ye Group's people. He just followed the wrong leader and ended up with that Xiang Dong. After Xiang Dong got into trouble with Jinshan Jiao and returned to find Liu Zi taking his place, he was unhappy about it. So he colluded with that little vixen Fang Ying to get rid of Hao. This matter has been suppressed for too long, and Fang Ying should pay the price for it, don’t you think so, Dad?
Lu Xian smiled and said, twisting the facts!
But I sensed something; the Lu Family was looking for an excuse to eliminate Fang Ying!
The incident back then was also mishandled by me and Fang Ying. Initially, we thought Liu Zi had gone mad and didn’t pursue the matter further. We should have gathered all the evidence at that time to pin the crime on Liu Zi!
Later, when Liu Zi escaped, who would have thought he would dare to come back? And now that Xiang Dong is dead, there’s no one left to confront Liu Zi. With the Lu Family backing him up, how could Liu Zi not take down Fang Ying easily?
Moreover, Liu Zi's abilities are indeed impressive. Lu Xian also wanted him to keep an eye on me while conveniently eliminating Fang Ying.
Hmm, you make a valid point. That little girl Fang Ying is a capable assistant of Du Tao. Eliminating her would be a significant loss for Du Tao. Xiao Yan, you should take him along and help clear up the past misunderstandings once you arrive.
Lu Ding Tian spoke up.
I could only agree in response.
But I had no intention of doing so. Not to mention my grudge against Liu Zi; just considering my relationship with Fang Ying, I wouldn’t help someone harm her.
I was set to depart the day after tomorrow, and the happiest person about it was Tiger. The Enforcement Hall was finally back under his control, and he happily wished me success while planning a farewell party for me.
But I ignored him as if he were a fool; I knew that no matter who Tiger associated with, he would ultimately meet a bad end.
Come with me; don’t stay in the Enforcement Hall anymore.
In my office, I said to Kang Qin. I wasn’t at ease leaving her alone in Qing Gang; she still hated Lu Xian, which could put her life at risk.
I don’t want to go.
Kang Qin replied, frowning at my words.
Do you know what you’ll face if you don’t come with me? As a woman seeking revenge, what other methods do you have besides selling your body to climb up and getting close to Lu Xian?
I spoke bluntly; I knew Kang Qin was considering this!
Kang Qin’s face turned crimson at my words, her fists tightly gripping her dress as she dared not look up at me—just like when I first saw her being scolded by Tiger.
Seeing her like this made me sigh helplessly.
Look at you; I merely voiced your thoughts, and you’re so nervous! How do you plan to take revenge? Can you kill him whenever you want? You should stick with me instead; otherwise, you'll end up degrading yourself without achieving anything!
I said unceremoniously; I intentionally brought this up to scare Kang Qin into following me. I truly didn’t want to see a girl who looked like Linna living such a life.
However, Kang Qin’s response surprised me completely.
No, but I have one request of you: will you marry me?
What?
I was taken aback!
What the hell! This is absolutely ridiculous!
I know what Kang Qin means. As long as she marries me, no one will dare to harm her again, and she will have plenty of time to seek revenge on Lu Xian as his sister-in-law. Yes, marrying Kang Qin seems like a good choice, but how could I possibly agree to it? She's playing with fire!
With her limited skills? Not to mention her impulsiveness—she shouldn't have told me about her grudge against Lu Xian. Even if she knows that I don't have a true brotherly bond with Lu Xian, even if she knows I'm at odds with him, even if she thinks I'm a good person, this is something she shouldn't have shared with me!
It's too impulsive! She hasn't considered the seriousness of the situation at all. Even suggesting marriage is an extreme act of recklessness and childishness!
Look at her abilities—she's just a young girl; if I say two words to her, she blushes. Does she really think she can successfully kill Lu Xian? Give me a break! She would only end up ruining herself and dragging me into the fire with her.
Moreover, even if she did manage to kill Lu Xian, her lack of experience and means would ensure that the Lu Family would find out it was her without a doubt, and she'd be dead for sure.
So the best outcome would be for her to trade lives with Lu Xian, leaving me in an incredibly difficult position. Would I agree to that? Don't be ridiculous!
I know this situation is a bit inappropriate, but trust me, I won't drag you down. Just promise me anything you want as repayment; really, anything at all.
Kang Qin looked at me earnestly and said that. I genuinely wanted to agree with her, but I couldn't. Even if this plan succeeded, the losses would be too great; it wouldn't make any sense.
"No, Kang Qin, please listen to me. A gentleman's revenge is never too late."
Before I could finish my sentence, Kang Qin suddenly ran out of the room. Was she angry?
I sighed helplessly; she's truly just a naive girl who doesn't understand anything.
Then I sent someone to find Kang Qin. I thought it wouldn't be difficult to locate her, but to my surprise, they couldn't find her after searching all day!
This is terrifying!
Is that silly girl doing something foolish? If she doesn't stay with me and waits for an opportunity to take revenge later? With so many wolves in Qing Gang, before she even has a chance for revenge, she'll likely fall victim herself!
Oh come on, she's just a woman; why am I sighing like this?
A few hours later, I sat in Lu Ding Tian's house sighing dramatically when he noticed me. I was doing it on purpose—putting on a show in front of Lu Ding Tian, Lu Fei, and Lu Xian.
Kang Qin seems fragile on the surface, but I didn't expect her to be so stubborn. The idea of marrying her suddenly feels absurd. The only way I can help her is by telling those three that I've fallen for her; at least that way, when Kang Qin returns, no one will bully her.
