Chapter 852: Threat (2)

The car started to move. Since Lu Sizheng did not speak, Zhao Youlin naturally remained silent.

The atmosphere in the car was a little stagnant. In the end, Lu Sizheng was the first to speak. “Just now, I seem to have seen Ms. Zhao and my brother-in-law walking together.”

Zhao Youlin was stunned. It took her a long time to realize that the brother-in-law Lu Sizheng mentioned was Li Yan. She suddenly seemed to have understood something and her face suddenly darkened. “You had someone follow me?”

When Lu Sizheng threatened her with Xiao Li just now, Zhao Youlin had already found it strange. This person had not appeared earlier or later, but he had chosen to appear when she and Xiao Li were out together. He had even specially asked her out at such a time… it was obvious that he had planned it all along!

“Ms. Zhao, you misunderstood. How could I have someone follow you? All of this is just a coincidence.”

Zhao Youlin turned her back and did not comment. If you say it’s a coincidence, then it’s a coincidence? Do you really think I’m a three-year-old child?

Seeing that Zhao Youlin did not respond, Lu Sizheng did not care too much. He smiled and said, “It doesn’t matter whether you believe it. As your pursuer, I think I still have to remind you that my so-called sister is even more jealous than most women. If you don’t want to get into any unnecessary trouble, it’s best for you to stay away from that man.”

As soon as Lu Sizheng said this, Zhao Youlin could no longer remain indifferent. She turned to look at Lu Sizheng and wanted to ask, but she found that Lu Sizheng had already shut his mouth and did not intend to continue.

However, the more he acted like this, the more Zhao Youlin felt that he must know something. However, since Lu Sizheng said nothing, it was not appropriate for her to ask again.

The car once again returned to its previous silence and oppression. However, at this time, Zhao Youlin already had other guesses in her heart, so she didn’t care too much until…

“Young Master Lu, you have to at least give me a definite message about where you want to take me, so that I can be mentally prepared, right?” Zhao Youlin watched as the car drove further and further away. If they drove any further, they would probably drive out of the city.

However, she began to calculate matters in her heart. Could it be that this guy was planning to drag her to some deserted place and throw her into a river or bury her alive?

Lu Sizheng was still as calm and composed as ever. It made people’s hearts itch. They really wanted to rush forward and tear apart his mask to dig out all the emotions in his heart.

“Don’t worry, Ms. Zhao. Since I’ve taken you away in front of so many people, I naturally won’t take you to some strange place. It’s just that the place we’re going is a little far. If you wait patiently, Ms. Zhao, we’ll be there soon.”

Zhao Youlin was skeptical of Lu Sizheng’s words. In the end, Lu Sizheng’s so-called “soon” meant another half an hour.

Just when Zhao Youlin couldn’t help but want to ask Lu Sizheng again about where he was taking her, the car finally stopped before Zhao Youlin could explode.

“We’re here.” Lu Sizheng’s casual words made Zhao Youlin realize her current situation.

Looking at the towering mountain peak and the yellow walls and white tiles of the temple on the mountain peak, the corner of Zhao Youlin’s mouth couldn’t help but twitch.

“Could it be that you’ve just been enlightened by me and moved on from the secular world, so you’re prepared to convert to Buddhism, and you specially asked me to come here as a witness?”

Lu Sizheng could hear the mockery in Zhao Youlin’s words. He replied indifferently, “People say that Buddhism is a peaceful place. If possible, I would like to come here to be peaceful. It’s a pity that a person like me, who has unclean roots and still harbors lingering thoughts about the thousands of temptations out there, is probably not willing to be accepted by Buddhism. Ms. Zhao, please.”

Zhao Youlin gave Lu Sizheng a deep look and walked out of the car.

There was a continuous stone path under the temple. The car could not go up at all, so it could only go up step by step.

Fortunately, the temple during this period of time was much quieter than during weekends and holidays. There were only a few monks and elders in the temple.

Seeing Zhao Youlin and Lu Sizheng walking up, an old monk seemed to know Lu Sizheng. He quickly came out of the temple and greeted them with a kind smile. “Mr. Lu, you’re here.”

“Abbot, I’m here to offer incense to my parents,” Lu Sizheng said and introduced Zhao Youlin to the abbot, “Abbot, this is my friend, Zhao Youlin, and Ms. Zhao. Ms. Zhao, this is the Abbot of this temple.”

Although Zhao Youlin did not have a good impression of Lu Sizheng, she did not spread her dissatisfaction to others. She politely greeted the old Abbot, “Good day, Abbot.”

The Abbot stared at Zhao Youlin with a kind face for a while. For some reason, Zhao Youlin felt that the Abbot was staring at her with a strange gaze, which made her instinctively want to avoid it.

The Abbot seemed to sense Zhao Youlin’s uneasiness and quickly looked away. He smiled and said, “It’s your first time here, isn’t it, Ms. Zhao? Take this opportunity to stroll around the temple. Although this mountain is remote, the scenery is still pretty good.”

Zhao Youlin smiled and didn’t comment.

The abbot didn’t keep his attention on him. Soon, he turned to talk to Lu Sizheng.

“Mr. Lu hasn’t been here for a while. I thought that I would be seeing you soon. This way, please,” the Abbot said as he led the way for the two.

Soon, Zhao Youlin and the others were brought to a relatively remote room.

Zhao Youlin maintained a defensive posture from the beginning to the end, especially after entering the room.

After the Abbot led Lu Sizheng and the others into the room, he tactfully left. The bodyguards behind Lu Sizheng also left the room after Lu Sizheng gestured for them to leave.

Seeing this, Zhao Youlin also wanted to leave, but Lu Sizheng stopped her before she could. “Ms. Zhao, please stay here and accompany me for a while.”

Zhao Youlin’s footsteps suddenly stopped as she walked out. After deliberating for a moment, she finally bit her lip and followed Lu Sizheng into the room.

The inner room of the room was a small hall of the dead. At this moment, the sun was still shining brightly outside. However, the Hall of the dead was a little dark in front of it. Together with the two candles placed on top of the Hall of the dead, it looked a little dense.

In the middle of the hall of the dead, there were two rows arranged side by side. Zhao Youlin did not read the words on them carefully, but from what the Abbot had said just now… Zhao Youlin had already guessed that the names of Lu Sizheng’s parents were written on these two tablets.

Realizing this, Zhao Youlin couldn’t help but feel a little strange. Nowadays, when people died, they would usually take their bodies to be cremated and buried in the cemetery or columbariums. Why was there such a tablet? Could it be a tradition of the Lu Family?
