Lu Ding Tian pulled me onto the sofa and chatted for a long time, mostly expressing concern about how I had been living these past years. I may not be good at many things, but boasting and acting are easy for me, so I happily bantered with him for a while.
In the evening, Lu Ding Tian personally arranged a five-star hotel for me, booking a presidential suite. He told me to bear with it for now, as he would take me home tomorrow to meet my stepmother and two brothers.
Seeing me so happy, I guessed it might have something to do with the Qu Family. The Qu Family had fallen into its current situation due to a lack of male heirs. As far as I knew, the Lu Family was now in a similar predicament as the Qu Family back then; two sons vying for the position, both wanting to inherit Lu Ding Tian's Qing Gang!
As for me? As an illegitimate child just arriving here, if I weren't foolish, I definitely wouldn't compete with those two brothers. This created a favorable situation: my presence strengthened Lu Ding Tian's bloodline without causing him any trouble.
Of course, this was just Lu Ding Tian's perspective. Perhaps my two brothers wouldn't see it that way; any son of Lu Ding Tian might be viewed as a rival by them. There has always been conflict wherever there are people, especially when interests are involved.
Where there is conflict, there are opportunities. Only by being amidst the turmoil could I qualify to participate in those matters and have a chance at victory!
My wish was simple: eliminate the Lu Family! Dissolve the Qing Gang!
That night, I slept soundly in the spacious presidential suite. Before bed, I ordered a lavish dinner and drank half a bottle of Latu by myself. Even when I had money before, I never had the time to enjoy life. But now it was different; I was Zi Ge, and I could spend money freely—Lu Ding Tian's money!
"Sir, your breakfast."
The waiter respectfully brought me breakfast and treated me with utmost courtesy. There was no other reason for this; it was because I had tipped one of the waiters who served me last night with two Five Hundred Dollar bills.
"Thank you for your hard work."
I handed two Five Hundred Dollar bills to the waiter, who quickly accepted them with a smile and said, "It's no trouble at all! Serving such an elegant gentleman as yourself is my honor!"
"Haha!"
I laughed heartily at his words and gave him two more bills as a reward for his eloquence. The waiter left happily, practically skipping away.
Having money is truly enjoyable!
Showing off with someone else's money? Now that’s even more exhilarating!
After finishing breakfast, I donned a stylish pink suit and descended the stairs wearing sunglasses, exuding an air of confidence—completely embodying the essence of Zi Ge.
I intended to participate in the struggle between the Lu brothers for dominance; however, now was definitely not the right time. If I reached out to get involved now, I'd be bullied mercilessly.
What I want to do now is to show off, flaunt my wealth, and enjoy life. I believe that as long as I don't make at least ten million in a day, Lu Ding Tian won't have any objections to me.
I also believe that as long as I present myself as this young rich kid, my two older brothers will completely ignore me, letting me indulge in food, drink, and fun every day. This gives me plenty of time to develop!
As the saying goes, with money comes a pack of followers. Here I am, a young and handsome guy living in a presidential suite of a five-star hotel, spending large amounts of cash—more than one bill at a time.
My charm is overwhelming! So much so that people nearby can smell it and flock over. Among them is a beautiful girl who plays the role of a green tea bitch; I have become the high-quality Kai Zi in their eyes.
Before long, I found myself surrounded by beautiful women in the hotel bar, having a great time. Just then, when Lu Ding Tian came looking for me, I was playing a drinking game with several beauties. I lost—one thousand USD! They lost and had to give me a piece of clothing! It had to be taken off on the spot.
"Lu Yan!"
I heard Lu Ding Tian's voice calling out. When I turned to look, I saw him approaching with quite a few people, wearing a smile. He was accompanied by two middle-aged men around thirty years old who bore some resemblance to him. One had a pair of stylish sideburns and was tall and robust; the other was slightly shorter and had an air of arrogance about him, his eyes radiating confidence. They both looked like what I would resemble after cosmetic surgery, and it seemed we were indeed family.
"Hey! Dad, you’re here!"
I quickly stood up, and at that moment, everyone in the bar turned to look at me. Undoubtedly, the presence of Lu Ding Tian and his two companions commanded attention; perhaps some people even recognized them.
"Well, looks like you’re having fun. Getting so familiar right after arriving?"
Lu Ding Tian smiled as he glanced at the girls around me; some were down to their underwear. From his gaze, I didn’t sense any reproach.
Of course, Lu Ding Tian doesn’t really want me, his illegitimate son, to have any real power. If I did have power, I wouldn’t be content; I'd get involved in the conflicts between the Lu brothers—something he definitely doesn’t want to see.
"Haha! The game of flirting is universal; it works everywhere!"
I laughed heartily without feeling embarrassed. At that moment, I could see hints of disdain mixed with satisfaction in the eyes of the Lu brothers. My performance made them feel no threat; they would accept and acknowledge my existence.
"Haha! Good! Now say goodbye to your friends; it’s time for our family gathering."
Lu Ding Tian said with a smile. After hearing this, I nodded and cheerfully turned back to the crowd.
"Goodbye, ladies."
"Young Master Lu, make sure to come find me when you have time!"
"Young Master Lu, are you not coming tonight? I'll be waiting for you here!"
The beautiful girls looked at me reluctantly as they spoke one after another. Hearing this made me smile with satisfaction. Then I playfully touched their smooth faces and said with a cheeky grin: "If I'm not coming today, does that mean I won't come tomorrow? We’ll meet again!"
How charmingly audacious!
I could see the intoxication in the eyes of the women around me, and of course, I knew it was due to my status. Under their gaze, I turned away gracefully, thinking that from today onward, Shang Hai Beach would have a flamboyant young prince, Lu Ding Tian's third son, Lu Yan!
I followed Lu Family's third master to their villa. The Lu Family villa was undoubtedly grand; although I wasn't well-versed in decoration, I could tell that the red wood used was not something just anyone could afford.
"Ah, you must be Xiao Yan! I'm your brother's mother," a beautiful woman introduced herself as soon as I stepped inside. My brother? The eldest son of the Lu Family, in his thirties, seemed only a few years older than me. She must be my brother's mother, yet she looked like a girl in her teens, radiant and youthful. In wealthy families, especially among the women of Lu Ding Tian, beauty was a requirement to avoid elimination. It made sense that my stepmother took good care of herself.
"Hello, Auntie," I greeted her. Calling her "Auntie" felt more natural than addressing her as "mother" right away; it felt too cheap for me to do so.
My stepmother responded happily and quickly invited me inside to sit down, chatting with me warmly as if she genuinely cared. But I knew this was all for show in front of Lu Ding Tian. The truth was, her main concern was undoubtedly her son. My presence couldn't be good news for him; if she truly cared about me, that would be strange!
After some casual conversation, my elder brother joined us. The meal was prepared by a dedicated chef; we were only responsible for chatting before dinner.
The atmosphere during our conversation was incredibly friendly since Lu Ding Tian was present. I also learned some information about my elder brother. His name was Lu Fei, sporting a small mustache. My other brother was named Lu Xian, who appeared quite arrogant.
My stepmother was called Aunt Wu, and Lu Fei was indeed her son.
As we chatted, they eventually shifted to serious matters—specifically, the situation regarding Du Tao.
Elder Hall had executed Qu Youyang and eliminated the Qu Family, yet Du Tao still remained. Previously, those in Tian Ye Group were all under the thumb of the Qu Family. With the Qu Family gone, Tian Ye Group had become Du Tao's absolute territory.
"Come on, it's just a single company like Tian Ye Group. How could they possibly be our rivals in Qing Gang? With the Qu Family out of the picture and only Du Tao left standing, getting rid of him should be a piece of cake," my brother Lu Xian confidently stated. It wasn't too difficult for Qing Gang to eliminate Du Tao, though saying it would be effortless might have been an exaggeration—this showed that my brother had a somewhat impulsive personality.
"Not necessarily, brother. Don't you think it's strange how that guy Xiang Dong ended up in trouble? As far as I know, he was quite talented and thriving in Tian Ye Group. Later on, he collaborated with Qu Youyang, easily overpowering Du Tao. So how did he suddenly get killed?" my elder brother Lu Fei frowned and said.
It seemed like my elder brother had some brains after all. If it weren't for the erroneous instructions from above that led me to steal some evidence, would I have fallen into this trap?
I never expected that the Hongmen would actually collude with Du Tao! They had betrayed me!
The situation surrounding Xiang Dong was indeed suspicious. First off, according to what Du Tao claimed, he was an undercover agent for the police; I believed that could very well be true. Perhaps it was just one of Du Tao's methods to eliminate him. What intrigued me most was why Qu Youyang would abandon his own family business and the entire Qu Family for such a minor character only to end up executed?
"Lu Ding Tian" expressed his confusion. At this moment, my elder brother Lu Fei spoke up again: "So I believe this matter is far from simple. Including Du Tao, he probably knows more than we do; perhaps there's something else going on behind the scenes."
