Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In the dimly lit meeting room, Lu Wen stood facing the window. His feet were surrounded by cigarette butts scattered across the floor. He looked haggard and sported an unkempt beard. His sunken eyes were filled with rage.
He had just finished dealing with Nancy’s funeral.
In the end, he failed to save his beloved.
He forcefully extinguished a cigarette butt and ground it against the windowsill with such force as if it were Lu Zhao.
The door creaked open, and a tall woman walked in.
“Mr. Lu, I’ve taken care of everything as you instructed,” Wen Yu said.
“Oh? How is Lu Zhao doing now?” Lu Wen didn’t turn around. His voice was hoarse from smoking too much.
“Lu Zhao… is falling apart. His cognitive abilities have noticeably fallen. In a month at most, he’ll be a complete simpleton,” Wen Yu said through gritted teeth.
“Hahahahaha.” Lu Wen suddenly burst into laughter.
He swiftly moved in front of Wen Yu.
“You’re not lying to me, are you?” He held Wen Yu’s chin with one hand, his expression deranged and arrogant.
“Lu… Mr. Lu, I wouldn’t dare lie to you. My brother is still in your hands, I…” Wen Yu’s eyes were filled with tears.
Lu Wen pushed Wen Yu away and took out a tablet. He placed it in front of her.
The surveillance footage on the tablet was so gruesome that it was unbearable to watch.
Wen Du had been tied naked to a wooden bed. His body was covered in blood. His left kidney had been removed, and it was a bloody mess.
Wen Yu felt suffocated by pain, but she didn’t dare cry out.
Lu Wen lit another cigarette.
“Last time you didn’t listen, so I had someone dig out one of his kidneys. Now, you should know better,” he said. The cigarette glowed and dimmed, creating a sizzling sound as he pressed the burning end against Wen Yu’s fair palm.
Wen Yu let out a miserable cry and almost fainted.
The man in front of her had long lost his mind.
“Go on, next time you come to me, bring news of Lu Zhao’s death,” Lu Wen said expressionlessly.
“Yes… Mr. Lu.” Wen Yu left the meeting room with trembling hands.
As she walked out, her tears flowed uncontrollably.
A week ago, Lu Wen had kidnapped Wen Du to threaten Wen Yu into drugging Lu Zhao.
Wen Yu loved her brother, but she didn’t want to harm Lu Zhao. After all, he had helped them.
She pretended to deceive Lu Wen and claim that she had successfully drugged Lu Zhao.
However, Lu Wen still discovered the truth. He had ruthlessly had her brother’s kidney removed. She could only accede to his demands.
She knew she had let Lu Zhao down, but her brother was the only family she had left. She couldn’t bear to see him suffer so much.
Every time she treated Lu Zhao, she added some psychiatric drugs.
There seemed to be no obvious symptoms, but it impaired deep thinking and judgment.
Over time, it would lead to a state of mental retardation.
Lu Wen was a monster.
He didn’t choose to kill Lu Zhao directly; he wanted to torment him slowly.
Wen Yu endured the pain in her palm and drove back to the Lu residence.
On the other side, Luo Ying’s blood test results were out.
Jiang Ming frowned deeply.
“How are the test results?” Lu Zhao and Luo Ying asked anxiously.
“Luo Ying’s blood contains a very peculiar chemical substance. This substance can temporarily maintain a person’s heart function, but after a certain time limit, you will drop dead,” Jiang Ming said.
Lu Zhao and Luo Ying broke out in a cold sweat.
“This substance is rare locally. It’s part of a research project from a foreign university. I’ve read their thesis before, so I know a little about it. It seems someone intentionally drugged Luo Ying, and this person has foreign backers.”
Lu Zhao remained silent for a long time.
He took out his phone and sent a message to Xiao Ting.
“Take those two in.”
But not long after, Xiao Ting called anxiously.
“Mr. Lu, it’s bad. The master has disappeared. We only caught Liu Sheng..”
