Chapter 888: The Start Of A Good Show (2)

The person on the other end of the phone laughed even more gleefully when he heard what Zhao Youlin said. “I’ll send you the coordinates. You only need to walk to the Lu family’s gate. I’ll go pick you up. It’s just about to start, but it’s not quite there yet. If you come now, you can probably make it in time for the start of the show.”

“Got it.”

Zhao Youlin hung up the phone and soon received the coordinates from Lu Sizheng. Her face darkened, and she subconsciously tightened her grip on the phone in her hand.

“What’s wrong?” Although Duan Yarong was playing with the two children, her attention had always been on Zhao Youlin. When she saw Zhao Youlin coming back from the phonecall, she immediately asked.

“It’s nothing serious. A friend who had been away for a long time suddenly came back and invited me out for a gathering. He said that he had urgent matters to attend to and would be leaving Shalnork in the next two days. Mom, what do you think…”

“I see.” Duan Yarong hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice, “It’s nothing. You can go first. It’s hard for friends to make time. It’s good to see him. His family can come over at any time. It’s not a big deal to have one or two more visits. Leave the children with me for now. I’ll get someone to send them back when they’re tired of playing.”

“I’ll go with you.” Mu Tingfeng immediately stood up when he saw Zhao Youlin stand up.

Zhao Youlin nodded. She left the two children with Duan Yarong for the time being and left the house with Mu Tingfeng.

As soon as they got into the car, Mu Tingfeng immediately asked, “What’s going on?”

Good friends? Zhao Youlin had made very few friends since her rebirth, and he knew every single one of them very well. However, he had never heard of any friend from foreign places or any friend returning after a long time.

Zhao Youlin also knew that she couldn’t hide matters from Mu Tingfeng, so she told him the truth. “That call just now was from Lu Sizheng.”

“Lu Sizheng, why would he call you? Why does he want?” Mu Tingfeng’s face darkened.

“My phone number isn’t a secret. It’s not surprising that he would know. He called…” Zhao Youlin paused, “Probably because the matters we were investigating has finally come to a close. Lu Xiangtian has made a move. Lu Sizheng wants us to go and watch the show with him.”

“Watch the show with him?” Mu Tingfeng raised his eyebrows. He didn’t believe that Lu Xiangtian would be so kind as to specifically invite them to watch a show. If anything, it was likely they were being invited there to be the stars of a show he had set up.

Zhao Youlin naturally knew this, but…

“I want to go and take a look.”

There were some traps in this world. Even so, considering the circumstances, some just couldn’t help but jump into it.

How could Mu Tingfeng not understand Zhao Youlin’s feelings? He sighed softly. “If you want to go, let’s go. Do you know where the Lu family is?”

Zhao Youlin nodded. “Yes, he just sent me the address.”

“Then let’s go.”

When Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng arrived at the Lu family, a young man was already waiting outside. When he saw the two of them get out of the car, he immediately went up to welcome them warmly. He smiled and said, “It’s Ms. Zhao and Mr. Mu, right? This way, please. The Young Master asked me to pick you up here.”

Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng looked at each other and followed the young man into the pavilion.

Lu Sizheng was sitting in a pavilion. When he saw the two of them walking over, his eyes lit up and he walked out of the pavilion with a faint smile.

“Didn’t you invite us here to watch the show? Now, where is the show?”

Lu Sizheng smiled and waved at the young man who was leading the way, asking him to head down first.

“Ms. Zhao, don’t worry. The show has just started. I’ll take you there right away.”

Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng subconsciously tightened their grip on each other and didn’t say anything.

Lu Shu followed Li Yan and Zhao Youlin to the Lu family’s residence, feeling a little uneasy. Lu Shu and Zhao Youlin were a little late, but they were brought to the hall to see Lu Xiangtian as soon as they got out of the car.

Lu Shu glanced at Lu Xiangtian, whose face was dark and expressionless, and her heart involuntarily trembled. She mumbled, “Dad…”

Lu Xiangtian’s eyes quickly swept over Lu Shu as soon as she opened her mouth.

His sharp eyes were cold and stern like never before. Lu Shu’s mind went blank for a moment, and she swallowed the words she wanted to say.

All these years, Lu Xiangtian had always acted like a gentle father in front of her, so much so that even she had forgotten that this man in front of her was the overlord of the underworld, an existence that countless people feared, and that he was a devil that had once crawled back from hell!

“You’re back?” Lu Xiangtian asked flatly, his tone completely devoid of the usual intimacy and joy.

Lu Shu felt that something was amiss. She forced herself to maintain the smile on her face and asked in a low voice, “Dad, why the urgency?”

Lu Xiangtian glanced at Lu Shu and didn’t say anything. He just threw the document in his hand in front of Lu Shu.

“Dad, what’s this?”

“Can’t you see for yourself?”

Lu Shu had a hunch that the contents of these documents wouldn’t be simple, but Lu Xiangtian was standing right in front of her, staring straight at her. She had no choice but to open this document.

Lu Shu swallowed hard and flipped open the document. When she saw what was in it, her expression changed and she said in disbelief, “This… this…”

Lu Xiangtian took out a gun and pointed it at Lu Shu. With a hint of ruthlessness, he said, “You’ve been lying to me for the past few years!”

Lu Shu’s face turned pale, and she shook her head. “No, I didn’t, Dad…”

“Don’t call me that. I don’t have a daughter like you.”

Li Yan was shocked when he saw Lu Xiangtian raise his gun. When he came back to his senses, he hurriedly stepped forward and shielded Lu Shu behind him. He stared at the black muzzle of the gun, his face turned slightly pale. “Mr. Lu, let’s talk this out. No matter what, Lu Shu is still your daughter. Even a vicious tiger wouldn’t eat its own child. Aren’t you being too cold-hearted?”

Lu Xiangtian looked at the man who had tried every means to get Lu Shu to marry him. The anger in his heart burned even more fiercely.

Boss Lu, who suddenly realized that he had been deceived for many years, had never been so angry before, especially when realizing how far he had fallen to Lu Shu’s deceit.

His dead wife and the child whose fate was unknown were his only weakness. After being exploited to such an extent by his weakness, he was so angry that he almost lost his mind. Now, he looked at everyone with caution.

Lu Shu cared so much about Li Yan. Who knew if Li Yan was also involved in this matter and deceived him along with Lu Shu?

When he thought of this, Lu Xiangtian’s expression became even more unsightly. “Of course, a tiger won’t eat its own child, but it has to be its own child.”
