Chapter 1708: Chapter 1710: Begging for Mercy
As the meal approached its end, Zhang Meng walked in: "Young Master, Lu Kongshen requests an audience!"
"How long has he been here?" Lu Xiaobu asked without surprise.
"According to the Dragon Group, Lu Kongshen has been waiting here for three days, but it wasn’t until just now that he requested to see you!" Zhang Meng replied.
"Still so humble." Lu Xiaobu chuckled, a hint of sarcasm in his laughter: "Let him in."
"Yes." Zhang Meng turned to leave.
In no time, Lu Kongshen, stooping low, came in, bowing deeply: "The sinner, Lu Kongshen, is here to plead for forgiveness!"
"Oh, Master of the Lu Family, what do you mean by that?" Lu Xiaobu calmly sipped his tea and asked.
"Master Lu, please don’t cancel me! I know I was wrong! But I was helpless!"
Lu Kongshen buried his head deeply: "That Lu Feicheng guy wants to split the family, and I’ve tried my best to stop him!"
"Because of this, my Lu Family has already lost seven or eight parts out of ten!"
His voice almost carried a sob, full of sorrow.
"So, you just sat there quietly watching the tigers fight that day?" Lu Xiaobu said blandly: "How about it? Did you enjoy the view? Did you get any fisherman’s profit?"
At these words, Lu Kongshen broke out in a cold sweat, drenching his clothes!
Just like that day when he sat and watched Quan Rui and Lu Feicheng turn into a bloody rain!
He had hoped that he wouldn’t be discovered, so he didn’t make a move back then!
In the end, it was only now that he realized everything had never escaped Lu Xiaobu’s notice!
"I..."
Lu Kongshen opened his mouth, wanting to argue a few words, but suddenly the prepared excuses were useless!
What could he say?
What should he say?!
It seemed that nothing he could say would be useful!
"Please, Master Lu, spare my Lu Family branch; I am willing to die to atone!"
As he spoke, Lu Kongshen took out a dagger and stabbed it into his chest!
Without any hesitation, it was so decisive!
The head of a family among the ten great families, even in this era, a person who could be heard, wishing to die with just a few words!
It shows how terrifying Lu Xiaobu’s power is!
However.
"Ding!"
The dagger in Lu Kongshen’s hand was knocked away, Lu Xiaobu’s doing.
"Master Lu..."
Lu Kongshen saw the dagger fall to the ground, and rather than any relief, he felt even more bitterness!
"You really live up to the name of a smiling tiger! Calculating even at such a moment." Lu Xiaobu said with a laugh.
"Master Lu... I... I also have no other choice!" Lu Kongshen’s head was nearly touching the ground!
"Sister Lan, what’s the meaning of this? Wasn’t that old fox trying to die to atone? Why does the Young Master say he was using him?" Su Luoxue asked in confusion, in a low voice.
"Him? He is using his life in exchange for his Lu Family." Liang Lan coldly observed everything.
"Huh?" Su Luoxue was still confused: "Does the Young Master want to target the Lu Family?"
"Not the Young Master. You silly girl, think about it carefully, who did the Lu Family offend the most?" Liang Lan shook her head and said.
"It’s..." Su Luoxue was still dazed.
"It’s Lin Feng." Xue Lin put down her wine glass and continued: "The Lu Family, like those guys locked up, all offended Lin Feng!"
"Although Lu Kongshen was straddling both sides, he did proactively send information and personally ordered the massacre of more than half his own family. These actions are enough for the Young Master to not implicate the innocent within the Lu Family."
"However, the death of Housekeeper Jia, Lu Kongshen has always ignored it, which is enough to stir Lin Feng’s killing intent!"
"After all, as one of the ten great families, the head of the Lu Family being the most intelligent among them, how could he be unaware of such information?"
"But, the head of the Lu Family just turned a blind eye to it, probably thinking the benefits would be greater. It’s likely the things the laboratory obtained weren’t missing in the Lu Family’s share either."
"That Lu Feicheng is probably one of the beneficiaries of these profits!"
Although Xue Lin has been a transparent person for three months, with some deduction, she could figure out a lot.
After all, she used to interact with that old fox quite a bit as the representative of the Xue Family.
Do you think the heads of other families are all foolishly unaware? She believes that Lu Kongshen is unaware? Go fool someone else!
"Then whether he lives or dies, what’s it got to do with Xiaobu?" Wu Qianmin also chimed in asking.
"He dies first, to shut the Young Master’s mouth, so the Young Master won’t have to send back the people he placed in Lu Group." Liang Lan calmly analyzed: "Once he dies, is it possible for the Young Master to send that boy back? The Young Master can’t afford to lose face!"
"So, Lu Kongshen has to live, and it’s because he broke his promise, resulting in the people being sent back!"
Lu Kongshen hung his head low, listening to these women dissect his thoughts bit by bit, he became more and more desperate!
"Master Lu!"
Lu Kongshen pleaded.
He, a head of one of the ten great families, the smiling tiger, whom the remaining heads almost looked up to, was now reduced to begging!
Sorrow spread throughout!
But!
"Pleading with me is useless, do what needs to be done." Lu Xiaobu waved his hand.
The traitors are always more detestable than the enemies!
...
Lu Kongshen left, taking with him the seeds he had painstakingly planted in Lu Group!
He hated!
He didn’t hate Lu Xiaobu; he considered all of Lu Xiaobu’s possible reactions before making every decision, so today was just his hopeful thinking being exposed, nothing to hate Lu Xiaobu for!
What he hated was the already vanished Lu Feicheng!
Fool!
Utterly idiotic fool!
He wished he could grind that boy’s bones to dust!
If Lu Feicheng had stayed put initially, Lu Xiaobu would absolutely protect him!
Because Lu Xiaobu would never bow to Lin Feng.
As long as you didn’t offend the Lu Family, you could always receive their protection!
However, a rebellion led him down a dead-end, and Lu Xiaobu’s return, allowed him to clearly see the end of this dead-end!
He hated! He hated!
...
Lu Kongshen left, and then two more people came in.
"Xiaobu, you’ve been back and didn’t even say a word?!"
Elder Yu hurried in and said.
This guy, Lu Xiaobu had been back for three or four days, even had a meal at his Dragon Group, and he just got the news.
"Tell you? That would just be a hassle on arrival!" Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes.
Then, his glance shifted to the person behind Elder Yu: "And this is...?"
Behind Elder Yu, there was a person.
Looking at the head, bald, white-bearded, like an old man!
But, looking at the body, muscles were knotted all over, veins bulging!
Hey, you all know the Turtle Hermit, right? That pervy old guy.
Especially when the Turtle Hermit powers up, you’ve seen it, right!
Now in front of Lu Xiaobu, it was like a living Turtle Hermit had arrived!
