New Progress

Lu Hongyong made up his mind. He told Lu Gan, “I promise that I won’t help him.”

Lu Gan was satisfied.

“In that case, you’d better not pick up his call. What if he acts pitiful and your heart softens again?”

Lu Hongyong agreed. Hence, he could only send a message to Qi Yuchuan.

[ Don’t be afraid. I’ll help you if I have a chance. ]

After that, Lu Hongyong blocked Qi Yuchuan.

At two o’clock in the afternoon, Lu Gan received a call from Huang Hao.

“Qi Yuchuan has woken up and the police are here.”

Qi Yuchuan refused to admit his crime. He also said that everything was set up by Lu Gan.

‘Tch. This is no big deal. Everything can be solved with money.’

Qi Yuchuan tried to call Lu Hongyong but failed. There was only a comforting text.

Naturally, Qi Yuchuan became anxious. His face turned pale.

‘What’s the meaning of this? Has Lu Hongyong given up on me? Is it because of Lu Gan?’

Qi Yuchuan’s anger grew.

‘It’s all Lu Gan’s fault! How am I inferior to him? Why am I being abandoned again?!’

…

Qi Yuchuan was detained. Shortly after, Lu Gan came to see him.

There was a contemptuous look on Lu Gan’s face.

“Are you unsatisfied? There’s nothing you can do about it though. Who asked you to be so shameful? Lu Hongyong never wanted to let anyone know about your existence. Did you think he really loves you? Besides, he only helped you because my life became uncertain. Don’t make a fuss. You’re nothing but a dirt stain.”

Qi Yuchuan’s eyes were full of resentment.

Lu Gan laughed mockingly at this sight.

“I wonder why you’re so confident. You’ll never take over the Lu Corporation. Your surname isn’t even the same!”

“Lu Gan!”

Qi Yuchuan stood up angrily, but someone immediately held him down.

“Tsk. Tsk. Tsk. Why are you so angry? I’m just speaking the truth. We won’t be meeting like this if Lu Hongyong was willing to help you. By the way, the amount of money you’ve embezzled isn’t even enough for me to buy a car. Sigh… you’re so cheap and worthless.”

Qi Yuchuan shook his head upon hearing Lu Gan’s words. He did not want to believe it, but Lu Gan may be right. If Lu Hongyong cared about him, he would not be in this state right now.

After thoroughly provoking Qi Yuchuan, Lu Gan was ready to leave.

“One more thing… I’m also suing you for murder. I hope you’ll be granted the death penalty!”

“Lu Gan!”

Qi Yuchuan shouted again. Unfortunately, it was futile. Lu Gan ignored him.

‘This is so unfair! I’ve worked so hard, but everyone still looks down on me!’

Qi Yuchuan’s mental state kept collapsing.

‘It’s all Lu Hongyong’s fault! Since things had already turned out this way, I have no other choice! None of them will get off easily!’

Lu Gan left the detention center.

Shortly after, the police officer in charge of Lu Heng’s case called.

“Mr. Lu, there’s new progress in your brother’s case. Qi Yuchuan refused to admit anything, but he said your father had always resented Lu Heng. Thus, he bribed the driver to kill him. Apparently, your father also tampered with the scene and made it look like he was the culprit.”

The police officers continued, “We have investigated this matter before. Lu Hongyong did go to see the driver and a few days later, the latter committed suicide…”
