Chapter 1106: Chapter 1105: From the Start, It Was All a Trap, Wasn’t It?
When Lu Heng finally finished vomiting, he looked up at Gu Anxi: "Is this your method?"
"Of course not." Gu Anxi smiled: "Just a small appetizer."
After speaking, she stepped back a few steps, "Take good care of Dr. Lu, and wait until he figures it out. Oh, take it easy, isn’t this your specialty?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Ming remained indifferent, while those few men smiled sinisterly: "Don’t worry, Little Gu, we are good at this."
Gu Anxi nodded: "Alright, I’ll head outside for some air. It really stinks in here."
As she was about to leave, Lu Heng called her: "Gu Anxi."
Gu Anxi paused: "Have you thought it through?"
Lu Heng stared at her: "Stay out of this, it’s beyond your control. Even if I spill the beans, they will find another way, implicating more people. Are you sure about this?"
"Threatening me?" Gu Anxi sneered: "And... when you say ’they’, you mean your father and Jiang Bin?"
Lu Heng was momentarily stunned—
She was frighteningly perceptive.
Gu Anxi paced back, smiling: "In any case, I will entertain you properly. Even if you stay silent, as long as you’re under my control, your father has reason to be wary."
Lu Heng squinted: "Is this unlawful detention?"
"Is it?" Gu Anxi pulled a paper from her pocket, waving it in front of him: "See? It’s still fresh."
Lu Heng’s voice tightened: "Is this King Jingyao’s idea?"
Gu Anxi’s gaze turned a bit soft: "Correct. It’s because Mr. Wang’s patience with you has reached its limit, and the contract you signed with my uncle directly advanced the situation. You’ve colluded with Jiang Bin, thinking the money was easy to earn?"
Lu Heng leaned back in the chair, quietly watching her, finally speaking softly after a long while: "At the start, it was a trap, wasn’t it?"
"No. It’s because your intentions were not pure." Gu Anxi looked at Lu Heng: "Haven’t you always wanted to surpass Bo Xichen? But, Senior Lu, check your conscience, how much have you accomplished for academia in these years, and how many deeds have violated your oath upon entering the medical school?"
Lu Heng had been listening all along. Suddenly, he laughed, a hoarse sound: "Do you think I wanted this? But I bear the surname Lu."
At this moment, Chen Ming answered a phone call and suddenly came over to say a few words to Gu Anxi.
Gu Anxi was somewhat surprised, then looked at Lu Heng: "Lu Ze has left."
Lu Heng’s complexion changed dramatically, and his breath became uneven, but he did not make a sound, just stared intently at Gu Anxi.
Gu Anxi was quite calm, kicking the concrete ground with her foot: "In other words, he knows you’re in my hands, and now chooses to preserve his equipment and dream of wealth, giving up on you."
"He wouldn’t." Lu Heng ground his teeth and spoke harshly.
Gu Anxi laughed: "Do you think he couldn’t let go of his only son?"
Gu Anxi opened her phone, fiddled with it a bit, and projected an image onto the white wall...
"This is high-tech." One of them chuckled.
Then, a voice accompanied the image, it turned out to be Lu Ze—
With a woman and a child.
Lu Ze was recent, the woman quite young, in her thirties, and the child small, about ten years old, looking delicate and pretty, speaking in a cute voice... appearing very intelligent.
Lu Heng’s hands bound behind him clenched tight—
He didn’t believe it!
Yet, he couldn’t deny it.
In the image, his father lifted the young boy up, carrying him on his shoulder, the woman holding his arm looked gentle and charming... that woman seemed familiar, but he couldn’t pinpoint exactly who she was.
Gu Anxi smiled faintly: "You have only one father in your heart, but he doesn’t just have you as his son. With one crippled or gone son, he still has others..."
After pausing, she revealed: "This isn’t your only brother."
Lu Heng abruptly raised his eyes, fiercely staring at her: "Gu Anxi!"
Gu Anxi walked up to him, slightly bending over: "Do you hate me a lot now? Or would you rather pretend to know nothing? If you are unaware, these children don’t exist, your father only values you, is that right?"
She cruelly said: "You aren’t irreplaceable, because the mothers of these children were carefully chosen, excellent in various aspects, so the quality of your brothers is quite high, each will become successful with time, and... they all study medicine."
Lu Heng’s world crumbled in an instant.
"What to do, is up to you." After saying this, Gu Anxi suddenly whispered to Chen Ming: "Release Dr. Lu."
Chen Ming exclaimed, expressing confusion: "So much trouble getting this person here, just to let him go now. Mr. Wang is still waiting for an explanation, talking about making him spill it even if he sheds a layer of skin."
"Dr. Lu won’t speak, shedding a layer of skin won’t make him talk." Gu Anxi stared into Lu Heng’s eyes, her voice very soft, then turned and spoke to Chen Ming: "My old brother, I’ll handle it myself."
Chen Ming hesitated for a moment but complied with her instructions.
Lu Heng, looking disheveled, was like a different person compared to his usual refinement. Chen Ming said: "Dr. Lu, my apologies, you can leave now."
Standing in the middle of the vast warehouse, Lu Heng felt lost, as if he didn’t know where to go, a sensation he had never experienced before.
Everything struck him with overwhelming force. He couldn’t discern if he hated Lu Ze more or Gu Anxi more at this moment.
After a long while, he hoarsely asked: "There’s no car here, right?"
Gu Anxi lightly coughed: "With that smell on you, nobody wants to be in the same car. Dr. Lu, I’ll return your phone; call someone to pick you up."
Having said that, they left immediately.
In the car, Chen Ming was puzzled: "Anxi, after all this ruckus, we just told the Lu a big scandal, yet didn’t do a thing."
Gu Anxi leaned back on the seat, biting her nails: "That was the purpose, Chen Ming. I ask you, if your father always used you for his endeavors, then you suddenly find out that the money you helped earn went to raising sons from other women, how would you feel? When these kids could replace you in no time, isn’t it terrifying?"
Chen Ming, embarrassed, scratched his head: "My dad has long passed away. Even if he were around, he probably wouldn’t dare. My mom is quite fierce."
Gu Anxi couldn’t directly converse with him, so she decided not to speak further.
Her car returned to the residence. Bo Nianyao and his wife, together with Bo Xichen, were waiting for her to eat, manager Ma was also present. When she and Chen Ming entered, Mrs. Bo frowned: "What’s this smell?"
Gu Anxi sniffed herself, "Smell?"
Chen Ming also sniffed himself, then her: "I don’t smell anything."
Bo Nianyao laughed: "You both smell equally bad, hurry and wash up, change your clothes."
With just his toes, he could guess Anxi accomplished something remarkable again.
After Anxi took a shower, Chen Ming was faster, and had already recounted the events at the table, leaving everyone shocked. Especially Bo Nianyao, who was a nemesis of Lu Ze, thought he understood Lu Ze, yet found himself surprised at this revelation.
But Mrs. Bo felt rather empathetic, "Lu Heng must be very upset now."
Bo Nianyao nodded: "Indeed, that child regards Lu Ze as a deity."
Gu Anxi sat beside Bo Xichen, Bo Nianyao looked at her: "Cub, where did you get this information?"
Gu Anxi smiled: "Just found it when bored. A while ago, Lu Ze went away for a while, to England actually, where he has a nest. Tracked it down and subsequently dug into the rest... incredibly fascinating."
This process, Bo Nianyao wouldn’t want to know, imagining it must be even more fascinating.
He exchanged a glance with his wife, changing topics: "Do you think Lu Heng will go seek him out?"
"Of course." Gu Anxi faintly smiled: "Lu Heng, with such pride, will likely demand an explanation from Lu Ze."
At this time, Bo Nianyao also chuckled: "Thinking back, capturing Wang Kefu was actually a protection for him; being outside now, the Lu family’s style would surely have destroyed him."
Gu Anxi looked disdainful: "Just him, thinking I’m scheming to kill him and seize his wealth."
